This idea that you can easily dismiss vast numbers of people across the world who display absolutely normal human behaviour patterns with a sneering pejorative like 'xenophobe' is one of the major causes behind rising nationalist sentiment. There's a backlash growing against politically correct speech codes which ignore human realities and subject quite ordinary people to nasty insults and accusations. In 1970, the first "minimal group" study was published. Henri Tajfel and colleagues were surprised to find that people gave more resources to their in-group members even when the groups were based on highly superficial dimensions such as the tendency to overestimate or underestimate dot arrays or an interest in abstract art. Since then, psychologists have shown over and over again that even under the most minimal conditions, people more positively evaluate their in-group members, allocate more resources to them, and hold stronger implicit favoritism towards them. Minimal in-group bias has been found in young children-- even as young as age three-- highlighting the deeply ingrained nature of this bias among humans. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/in-group-favoritism-is-difficult-to-change-even-when-the-social-groups-are-meaningless/ Edited September 13, 2019 by Argus Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

It's not being an arsehole that's the issue. It's being told one mustn't call an arsehole an arsehole, because they look a bit different. To some, the difference excuses the arseholeness. That's where the argument occurs. Quote

If immigration trends steer that way I would want to change it like you because i don't want to live under sharia law, but i'm not paranoid making up scenarios in my head where there's no evidence of them occurring. What statistics are you speaking of? Here are the Muslim numbers in Canada since they first reached a sufficient amount for the census to take notice. 1971 33,430 0.1% of population 1981 98,165 0.3% 1991 253,265 0.9% 2001 579,600 1.8% 2011 1,054,945 3.2% AS you can see the numbers are rising rapidly, essentially doubling every ten years. If we extend this: 2021 2.100,000 6.5% projected 2031 4.5,000,000 13% projected I might add that Muslims becoming a majority is not the real danger. The real danger is assimilated Muslims becoming a large percentage of the population. There are no countries in which Muslims are a significant minority which do not experience religious violence on a fairly regular basis. For comparison purposes the UK Muslim population is about 5% while it's about 8.8% in France.

Go stand over there with the atheists them, don't appeal to me, I'll be over here with the Creator, doing as i please in his name. Somebody wants to try to impede me, more fool them.

No I didn't. This is the disingenuousness coming out. You started crying because I commented on your notion that somehow if you knew someone who was nice, then it made some kind of difference with regard to those of the same stripe who were not.

If it were not for those who disagree with me, I wouldn't bother. What would be the point? Edited September 13, 2019 by bcsapper Quote
