lictor616 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 You know of course that one of definition of the word idocy Merriam-Webster dictionnary is "something notably foolish". why is it foolish to believe in Darwinian natural selection and the fact of human inequality? And again were all the people of excellence, achievement and distinction I mentioned (and there are more) also idiots? why can't you address a question directly? Why always sidewind?

lictor616 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 Yeah right.It would sure be news to Northern Ireland readical Protestants that they have the same religious backgroun as the Catholics. Portuguese and Russian cultures, to take two examples, speak very different languages and are different cultures. And of course there is that European culture that gave us Einstein, Spinoza, Freud... I would never attempt to say that diversity (in this case religious and cultural diversity) is a source of cohesion and strength... Europeans (like all other peoples) also fought over issues of "diversity" ... diversity is a source of weakness as I noted. But generally speaking, Europeans when forced to live together, will be able to be reasonably productive. Russian is slavic, but has many borrowing with Polish, Latin, Dutch, German, French, and English language "systems". And culturally... well European culture exists everywhere in Russia... Opera houses, similar history, concepts of politeness are quite similar, Orthodox Christianity... all have clear links and obvious relatedness to Greater Europe.

Opera houses, similar history, concepts of politeness are quite similar, Orthodox Christianity... all have clear links and obvious relatedness to Greater Europe. Russia has absorbed all sorts of influences, but culturally, I think it's still safe to say that Russia is largely a melding of Slavic and Byzantine Greek. Orthodox Christianity is not generally considered a "European" church, so far as I can ever tell. From rather early on, it was distinct from the Latin Church. I know some folks, for various reasons, like to paste over the considerable divide between Orthodox Christianity and Catholic Christianity. Europeans have only productively lived together since the end of the Cold War, and that's if you ignore what goes on in the periphery, like the Balkans and neighboring states. Even discounting the Greek Civil War, the Iron Curtain, the Balkans War, the Russian "annexation-sort of" of South Ossetia, Europe has had about 64 years of peace, by all accounts probably the longest stretch since the height of the Roman Empire, but still, in a continent that was torn up by both major and minor conflicts for 1,500 years, I think we've got a ways to go before we declare Europe a peaceful place. The only thing that really has convinced Europe to put aside the old animosities is first-hand knowledge of total war, and, just as importantly (if not more), economics. As to Russia, it's long been a rather dangerous mistake to lump it in with Europe. Russia certainly has been heavily influenced by Europe, but it has long stood outside of Europe. I think there was a brief flowering of thought that Russia would enter tight relations with the EU, ultimately becoming a member state, full of democracy and love and Eurocrats and MEPs, but as we saw with the seizure of South Ossetia and the absolute humiliation of NATO in the process, Russia stands by itself, neither European nor Asian, though something of both. You mention the Orthodox Church, and I find that amusing, because one of the most nationalistic aspects of modern Russia is the Church, which still keeps the old antagonisms against the Roman Church, and pretty much, by extension, all of European Christianity.

Keswick and north of it IS red neck Ontario culture - there are a distinct part of the land scape - they have just as much right to exist as any of the new arrivals with their culture - Keswick is and was Ontario! - After reading the article, what I see is the glorification of this "asian" - for hitting the white red neck in the nose and for scoring in the 90%s - so this "asian" will make the perfect corporate drone in the future..how nice - to see Keswick culture degraded from good old fashioned red neck....to asian nose breaking math wizard is disheartening - we are a culture _ red neck and all...damn it! But as I looked at the protesting students - it seemed the dumb females were all belly and pearcings...and the product of mindless liberalism that taught them to be loyal to those who are not part of the old clan - to betray their families and their culture ......BIG deal if the white red neck kid - who's family has probably lived in Keswick of generations - called him a F***ing China boy...that's part of the red neck culture - the red neck kid looks upon this asian kid as an invader - and he is - to bad that the red neck boy had his nose broken by math wiz kid - it's embarassing to us red necks...

Before your so called "red neck" stay there, native people lived there for hundreds of years. did red neck invade? Why Canadian soldier still in Afghanistan, is that an invade? When Toronto city hall build in 1950s, the residents of the Toronto's first China Town there have to move away, is that an invade? That kind of speech don't help, just make people hate each other, it is no help to solve problem.

CANADIEN Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 why is it foolish to believe in Darwinian natural selection and the fact of human inequality? The foolishness is to argue that we as human being are unable to move beyond animal instinct. When applied to human beings, "natural selection" is nothing more than a code word for hatred, racism and barbarism. And yes, there is something patently idiotic, that is foolish, in any opinion based on the assumption that skin colour is a measure of intelligence. Quote

Yet we have strayed very far from those core beliefs. Perhaps more troubling is that we can never return to those morals and beliefs. The sands of time continue to fall and we cannot prevent them from doing so. Knowing these things we ought to be able to formulate a method of development that would serve our best interests. However, politics gets in the way to the same extent that religion does. We need to embrace change, not reject it. It is time to stop rejecting concepts and simply saying no. Life is far more complicated than just saying no. Quote

What do you mean unable to move beyond human nature? Human nature is what it is!

Humans will be humans... it is foolish to assume that human tribal loyalty (just as loyalty and preference of ones own children) can be made to go away... its as foolish as deciding that humans can move beyond their current physical form... and can sprout wings and begin to fly... it is a pleasant idea... I agree... but entirely impossible. No human has ever sprouted wings... just as no country has ever managed to be egalitarian and "untribal" sorry. Quote -Magna Europa Est Patria Nostra-

tango Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Fortunately, smarter heads than lictor-the-white-supremacist are dealing with this issue: http://www.thestar.com/gta/crime/article/633589 The Newmarket Crown attorney's office has withdrawn assault charges against a Keswick teen after a schoolyard fight sparked by racial slurs. "Our office has determined that there is no reasonable prospect of conviction and it would not be in the public interest to continue the prosecution," assistant Crown attorney Amit Ghosh told justice Peter Eourque. "The charge is to be withdrawn." In a prepared statement, Ghosh told the court both boys apologized to each other after the incident, in which the accused broke the other teen's nose, and neither had had any prior difficulties with each other before the incident. "While statements reveal (the accused) has not been a victim in the past of any bullying or hate-related comments, this verbal provocation and the assault upon him cannot be ignored when assessing the reasonable prospect of conviction," Ghosh added.

It's mildly distressing when you look at the photo of the school mates - Conditioned and totally liberally foolish - not realizing that there is a UN agenda world wide to displace established inhabitants and create a brown race internationally - they do not get the fact because they are young - they will NOT have the security- respect and prosperity their grand parents had....so they stand their cheering - and supporting what symbolically is the begining of their decline...My parents came here out of Britain - and prior to that out of Berlin - and prior to that out of Siberia and the Ukraine - and they knew they had landed in a place that was superiour and they fit in and adapted - They bought property - they worked they prospered - those days are gone. Now like fools our young cheer on their nemisis - If China was to send a million people all at once - our young would cry Obama tears of joy.. Quote
