Of course. It's just impossible that the poster was real. Since you warned us about it, it has to be you.

See now my view last night when I was reading that stuff was, assuming the person was real, here is someone from India or whatever and he wants to speak out. He should be allowed to say what he has been feeling. That way we can all hear it. Besides, it could be useful to have some Muslims on here to give their voice. Real Muslims, not a pretender who might be from another board, which the name shall not be revealed, who came here to flame us because he is banned and cannot log in anymore, because he tried to delete all his posts.

That's a very difficult question to answer, as well you know. What do I want you to do? Just keep doing what you're doing. Understood boss. Find ways to get the point across without the childish part.

The pointless waste and vanity of our refugee system

Most sense I've read on here in a while. -
The pointless waste and vanity of our refugee system
OftenWrong replied to Argus's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
There are no "fellow Earthlings". Everybody all around the world belongs to some kinda group... and some of them are right wingers. Just curious, would you approve of more immigrants or refugees coming here from far away lands if they were hardened right wingers? -
The Left invites terrorists into our home

The key difference between Islamic misogyny and random acts of violence by idiots is that the violence is not sanctioned in any way by western law. It exists only at the cultural level, whereas in Islam it is part of their civilization. -
Didn't they know all they needed to do was write "CV" on the palm of their hand and it would go away? - Cootie Vaccination.

Is it not "a different kind of troll"? Your call of course.

Perhaps Charles just made a mistake. I understand you being a little upset about it though. At least you didn't get a warning point. You've raked him over the coals quite nicely, and the thread is now restored so what more do you want? An apology will likely not be forthcoming! Your comments about the other forum are spot-on. I don't post there, why bother since this forum is here already well-developed. But I have looked at it. People like @The_Squid and @Michael Hardner post insulting comments about MLW members. They even discuss plans to make posts here. Some of them (like squid, it appears) come here primarily to trash this forum and create discord. What they don't get is every forum has problems like this. Even their new one will face the same difficulties, and this behaviour by those members who left, people like squid encouraged by people like MH only adds to the problem.

America under President Trump
OftenWrong replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I would classify any group that has a death penalty for leaving as a cult. -
Many in the past have awaited for events that they predicted would bring about the demise of the US. Many have been disappointed. It's more likely that this will bring people together to give support and help to each other. This gives them something else to talk about besides Donald Trump. Notice how that conversation has quietened down already?

It is off topic, oh myopic one. Can you not read that? Get some better glasses. You only need a monocle, for your one eye.

America under President Trump
OftenWrong replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
There's many other things going on, new laws implemented, old ones repealed, regulatory rules being changed, as is normal for any past presidency. It's just these are the only ones you hear about. -
No, she said your assumptions do not stand up to evidence. It again seems your having difficulty understanding the topic, or perhaps you actually seek to shut it down. It has taken you several pages just to understand the OP, that a key factor was how Koreans isolated themselves. Also your bolded section, you are kidding, right? You advocate we should not be worried about things that are decades away. Sorry, I don't see that as being responsible. In multiculturalism people are not really engaging each other, because in many cases they see no need to. People have a right to preserve their culture from such fragmentation as well. Various countries have implemented it. Quebec has implemented it. As all cultures become more equal, formerly dominant white culture has important questions to consider.

Perhaps a section called "'The Cesspool" or something like that, a place where Trolls may freely dwell. There are no rules in that wondrous land...

Disaster in Texas

Here's a link that shows the action- http://wkrg.com/weather/atlantic-satellite/ -
The real muddle is in the idea of multiculturalism and how it was implemented, how it defeated its own principles and cannot work in the real world. Multiculturalism is naive for the same reasons that Marxism is naive- it underestimates the ugliness of the human being.

Not necessarily all immigrants, and perhaps not even immigrants per se. but more that the rules of immigration need to be discussed, in a way done without judgement or implied racial bias. The world is ever changing, and changes have taken place in other countries that inevitably do affect us. For example, the uncontrolled open-door policy being permitted by our government now certainly deserves to be immediately challenged and discussed. However, this thread is not about immigration it is about multiculturalism. Says so in the very first sentence. The US example given is between a black person and a Korean. The black might not be an immigrant. They don't accept multi-culti down there because it leads to isolated groups that don't interact, where nation-building requires a form of nationalism at the folk level. Multiculturalism can only function in a place where nationalism is looked down upon. No superpower can likely ever be "multi-culti".
-
I read the link. It's the big "BUT..." in the headline that you are missing the point on. One has to be loyal to the idea of Canada to make mc work. Who exactly teaches that? There is no form of encouragement leading to national pride. With no central, identifiable culture I say no such loyalty really exists.
-
It's not confusing. The article indicates there is wide-spread resentment, it even says so. Multiculturalism is not the same as assimilating, it is the opposite. What the Koreans do (insular lifestyle) is somewhat like multiculturalism but as you say the USA is not officially multicultural. That's not to say I think the blacks are right. They have no right to terrorize people just because they're different. But this is about reality, not some idealistic social model. Decades have shown multiculturalism does not improve tolerance among different cultures.

Disaster in Texas
OftenWrong replied to WestCoastRunner's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Reports are coming out of Texans using their personal water craft to rescue people who are stranded. Trump and his team arrived to talk to locals and help them get whatever they need. Whole thing reminds me of a scene from Dunkirk- -
Brian Mulroney vs Stephen Harper
OftenWrong replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Its not you, it's just the zany-ness of your extrapolations. That's where the initial accusation really lies, and it gets exasperating to constanty defend something you did not mean or say. Many immigrants were still allowed in under Harper. -

OftenWrong replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
The left cannot stop extrapolating one statement into another. It is as though the limbic region of their brains were cranked up, while the grey matter has been suppressed. One should do a study, by dissecting their brains.
