Well, Muslims was just the example that came up. It doesn't have to be Muslims! It's any group that grows up to have the clout!

I betcha it would come to that. This group will be grandfathered.

It's not a supposition, Michael. We have the Yakuza, the Mexican drug cartel, the Latino gangs, etc.., - and they do impact greatly! What about gender selection abortion? Wouldn't that affect the ratio of females/males? How about Sharia law? You think if the Muslim population has grown large enough that they become the majority - that wouldn't affect our governments and laws? You think leaders now aren't trying to appease them for their votes? It's not the impact that involves violence alone (as seen in the OP), that we talk about here. It's the impact on how it will shape the nation in the near future.

Chinese, Blacks, etc.., It's not races. It's cultures! Like I've said, some people from various ethnic groups had assimilated into society. If we'll apply the ideology of multi-culturalism - yes, it will only result in tribalism.....since it encourages enclaves, and practice of cultures. Cultures that clashes cannot live together for long without having any conflicts. That's just the logical reality! Chinese and blacks have been in the west since when? Perhaps we're just seeing a certain kind of "seriousness," now that we see nationalists, and migrants clashing (not necessarily physically - as exampled by the fight for the right to wear a burqua despite it clashing with laws that requires identification ). The growing anti-immigrant sentiments - not only in this continent - is a testament to that.

Yes, the US does have it! If there are several varying cultures in a country, that's multi-culturalism. It doesn't matter whether the idea is to have a "melting pot," as in the case(s) of some ethnic groups - they tend to group together. Thus you have China Town, Vietnamese, Somali, Muslim, Italian, black, latino communities, etc...... There are some people from these ethnic backgrounds who do assimilate by living among the general population. Explain how the OP provides a counter-example. You think just because the philosophical term "multi-culturalism" wasn't around then, therefore there was no multi-culturalism? The term multi-culturalism as we know it - used by progressives - is simply the acknowledgement that people want to practice their cultures and preserve their identities as a people. Multi-culturalism openly supports and encourages that. It's an ideology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiculturalism

Yep. George Soros is right up there, pulling the strings. http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1237

You'll eat them? Or...........you'll study them, so you can loot effectively? Oh boy, HE. That's THEM! But what about you? You do know what these doomsday preppers will also be prepared to do? They'll be prepared to shoot-to-kill looters. And you do know who the most likely looters are in a doomsday scenario? People like you, who are unprepared! Go ahead, take a peek at some prepper forums. They're usually talking, and warning people about you. When you know your family will starve to death because there's nothing to eat.....you'll go marauding with the others! Why do you think preppers are preparing for survival? Why do they call it survival? Because, no water and food, you shrivel up and die. And, there will be fighting! This is one scenario where-in there would be no racial profiling! Anyone unprepared is most likely a threat! Yup. Send them for training. ........so they'll be more than ready to deal with you! What a doober.....

Michael seems to like to......"poke." Re-post that Soros article and tell him to refute it. Sorry, I have to go.

Oh, no! Michael....you crossed over? Hot Enough got to you in the end? When it comes to the USA, there's a very fine line separating HE from the alt-left.

Why should it be up to the people? If people want to change history, therefore it should be? Furthermore, why should it be up to a CERTAIN GROUP of people?

Rioting and looting alone due to blackout will cause a huge internal problem for USA. We've seen it happen with temporary blackouts - what more with widespread protracted ones?

Yes, free discourse....but that doesn't mean forcing your discourse on someone's own thread! You're practically hijacking most of the threads! There are moments when I do enjoy bantering with you, but you're hurting the board when you're turning all discussions to be about the same thing! If you want to talk about something - create your own thread for it.

Quit that talk now about talibans and ISIS and US propaganda. That's off- topic with this which is about multiculturalism.

If that isn't gross inhumanity to you....I'd hate to even think what you'd consider as such!

If it falls under the definition of conspiracy theory, then it's conspiracy theory. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conspiracy theory

Like the recent topic about prepping, conspiracy theories and other things that might come up that don't really belong anywhere....I can't think of other things at the moment but I know that I once posted a topic in another forum about strange "phenomenon."

At least you admit you've got a dirty mind. Well.....that's what you say. You read dirty mags (no wonder you see dirty sex everywhere). Hmmmm......and you keep invoking Satan. He must be constantly on your mind. I don't see you....for all I know you're a little minion with little horns, doing your satanic jig. Well here's to you......

So you read dirty magazines? Figures. Only one who sees dirty sex talk in that statement would have a ..............dirty mind.

Reading up on......... .......Looting?

I just ordered aquatabs and life straw for water purification.

Well, no. That means your nonsense won't be all over the place! And at the same time, you won't be deprived of spewing out to your heart's content. I'm fighting for your right to rant, you know. Even when you're hallucinating! You're like a sleeping volcano that's just woken and blowing up all over the place.....your lava oozes everywhere. I don't know for how long we have to put up with it. General Discussion section should keep you well-contained.

Oats is the best for long-time prepping, imho. They're high in protein and fiber and practically well-rounded as far as nutrition is concerned....and you don't have to eat salty canned foods everyday! They're cheap, too! I buy from Bulk Barn and I found a neglected opened bag of it that's been sitting at the back of the shelf for ages (I could tell by the looks of the plastic bag)....and they're still good. I couldn't tell the difference between the fresh and those ones. Sometimes, there are larva with the oats when they get packed. That's the danger of having them unchecked in sealed packages.....the surprise of finding bugs when you open them. If I were you, I'd check those packages and if they're good, repackage them in heavy-duty freezer bags. If you plan to store them long-term, Place a piece of towel paper with them (to prevent moisture), double bag them (squeezing the air out). Place dried herbs like bay leaf and basil in between bags to prevent bugs from getting to them. Store in dark, dry place. The beauty of this is, you can visibly check them out every now and then, without having to open the bags. You can eat rolled oats without cooking. Just soak them overnight, and they're good to go the next morning.

I'm talking about now! I'm sure civilians who are being tortured and persecuted this day by the Taliban/ISIS wouldn't be saying, "this is okay." You think they'll justify ISIS by saying......"btw, Have you read of how children and innocent civilians were tortured, maimed and killed by Reagan terrorists? How about Bush's terrorists, Obama's terrorists, Kennedy's terrorists, Nixon's terrorists, Johnson's terrorists, Ford's terrorists, ... ? " Your responses are wacky - maybe you have no clue what gross inhumanity is, here's an example: ****WARNING: GRAPHIC SCENE OF TORTURE AND KILLING.****** If they believe in demons like Christians do - they should know what they are! And you're trying to elicit sympathy for these demons? Are you one of them?

Doesn't matter who, and where they are. People are people. They don't suffer any less due to the color of their skin, or their citizenship!
