ScottSA Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 "as if everybody ought to be thrilled about turning the country over to cultures that haven't quite made it out of the middle ages yet."This sounds very much like the warnings of Native Elders before the Europeans emigrated to Canada some four centuries ago. The immigrants then were unwashed, mostly illiterate and brought with them diseases unknown to the land. Fortunately for us, our ancestors were welcomed and taught how to survive in a hostile terrain and climate. It was only after the 'new-comers' started taking over that hostilities began. However, that's for another thread. It saddens me that we appear to be on the verge of a holy war. Fundamental Christians against Fundamental Islamics who hate Orthodox Jews... while all of us who just want to practice our faith are caught in the crossfire. I'm sorry, but I'm one of those old-fashioned Christians who refuses to believe that the Ten Commandments were found in the bottom of a suggestion box. 'Thou Shalt Not Kill', means 'Thou Shalt Not Kill'. I'm also one of those old-fashioned Canadians who embraces all cultures. What a dull place to live if all we saw on our streets were white Christians. If we had to put a face on a 'Canadian' it couldn't be done, because we have a great many wonderfully diverse faces. Think I'll go for a drive. How thrilling for you. Perhaps the native elders ought to have been listened to, eh? I mean from the Indian's point of view. I'd as soon not have my offspring sitting around drinking lysol and sniffing gas in a reservation full of white picket fences paid for by the Ummah so we can practice our "traditional way of life".

Monday nights are Vietnamese dinner nights, rare beef Pho with noodles and some cold spring rolls. Oh just wondering. You'd be surprised what your eyes are opened to if you live in a place like New Delhi. Cool diverse stuff, like riots between Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims so common that they don't make the world news unless the bodycount is in the hundreds, shit and piss everywhere since the potty practices of that wonderfully vibrant culture haven't quite internalized the concept of "germs", nmuch less "e-coli", babies intentionally lamed so the untouchables have a free rade on the national begging system...it's very vibrant there. Then of course there's the Congo and Liberia and all those other diverse places euphemistically called "troublespots" because they are orders of magnitude worse. I can't wait till we transplant our greedy corporate culture with the filthy pigsty wonderful diversity of the third world. Happy happy! I wonder if anyone who has actually lived in the third world for more than six months is all for bringing it here? Quote

mikedavid00 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Posted April 24, 2007 I wonder if anyone who has actually lived in the third world for more than six months is all for bringing it here? Yeah it sounds like you actually know what goes on in other cultures and in the rest of the world. The most racist, xenephobic people in Canada are the people that our gov't lets into the country. The sad fact is, the people on this very forum who are pro-stonage, are the ones who look at these people as 'little colored people'. They see immigration as a 'bowl of beef pho'. Or a 'jerk chicken on corn bread' becuase their head is so in the sand. Life in Canada is rough and poverty stricken. Similar to Russia; apartments everywhere, people living check to check, quiet unrest, corrupt gov't looting public funds, policital pay-off's, self hatred.. it's Canada. I challenge them to go to our hospitals, enrole in a University, or buy a home and see how far they get. Quote ---- Charles Anthony banned me for 30 days on April 28 for 'obnoxious libel' when I suggested Jack Layton took part in illegal activities in a message parlor. Claiming a politician took part in illegal activity is not rightful cause for banning and is what is discussed here almost daily in one capacity or another.

M.Dancer Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 I take it you, unlike others ,dont live in the sticks? I live in a lovely village called Forest Hill. It is serviced by 5 banks, 7 restaurants, 2 churches, 1 synagogue and a Block Buster Video. The Greater Forest Hill Area is a little more worldly. There is a castle and a loblaws that has an lcbo. I am told there is a large town down the hill....sometimes when the haze clears I see a large tower, but most dismiss that as legend......or fear it as a land without nannies..

August1991 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Life in Canada is rough and poverty stricken. Similar to Russia; apartments everywhere, people living check to check, quiet unrest, corrupt gov't looting public funds, policital pay-off's, self hatred.. it's Canada.Russia? Canada? Do you have any idea what you are saying? As to your description of life in Canada, it's not easy. First generation usually has it rough. Maybe even second generation. North America has a remarkable ability to integrate, and offer a lift up. Both of Pierre Trudeau's grandfathers were poor - but one was English and Trudeau's father was ambitious. The main integration problems are the French, some Africans and the Natives. They (or their ancestors) never chose to be here. The Natives were here when all these Europeans showed up. The French were here when all these English showed up. And the Africans were forced to come here. In all honesty, such words do not do justice to history. ---- Returning to the OP, in 2001, about 600,000 Canadians identified themselves as Muslims (or about 2% of the total population). In 1991, 250,000 did so (or about 1% of the total population). OMG! In 10 years, they've doubled! By 2011, they'll double again and by 2061, Muslims will represent 128% of the Canadian population! Meanwhile, in 2001, about 21 million identified themselves as Christians. Statcan This is not something that I lose sleep about. Quote

Hydraboss Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 I don't like multiculturalism. It takes jobs from Canadians. You know, white Canadians. Bad. My question is should we continue to allow rampant, unchecked immigration from ANY country, be it questionable or not? That question opens a whole host of other questions regarding shrinking birth rates, etc... But the one thing that I truly want to know, MikeDavid, is this: You once challenged me to find give you a job for $55,000/year as a new hire computer genius. I was just about to when I reread your OP, and wondered why I would pay that much for someone who can neither spell, nor operate spell-check. Should I still hire you for my Critical Systems Integration Team, and if I don't, is it the fault of the immigrant who can spell? Just wondering.

BC_chick Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Oh. My. God. I feel your pain. Everywhere I go, I see brown people, yellow people, black people, hanging out, spending money on the local economy. Walk down any major street and there they are again, owning businesses and providing services for the local economy. Then I go to work, and there they are yet again, working, paying taxes, and then just going home! I don't mind them, but I don't want their families here! They were brought here to work and to contribute to the economy. Their family wasn't part of the ordeal. They should be more like 'us.' Look around, we don't create old or pregnant people who rely on the system. --------------------------- Sorry Mike, but just as you see an increase in immigrant faces in the workforce, you'll see just as much of the same increase in general society.

Chuck U. Farlie Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 If you are so worried about the changing ethnic mix here, MikeDavid00, then do something to solve the problem... Do like the Catholics suggest... throw away your birth control and get breeding. Tell your neighbours and family to throw away your birth control and get breeding... maybe if everyone has families of 8 or 10 again then the government won't have to allow so much immigration...

Rue Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Be happy. Don't you see all the ads with happy multicult faces smiling at you? "Diversity", "Vibrancy". Happy happy. ... Finally, something to look forward to. As long as you can see ok out of the burka you'll be wearing. Say Scott are you circumsized? If not wanna join us? Joking!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it just yet. Before the Muslim hoards take you over, I have confidence in Coca Cola, MacDonald's and Paris Hilton, corupting them first. Have faith in your culture to assimilate. It has precisely because when people get the taste of being "individuals" they don't cling to their old values as much as you think they do. Maybe I am naive, but I don't think this is a one way movement of ideology. I think every generation has felt bearded hoards of barbarians would swarm their country and destroy them. Not sure it is that simple. I also seriously think you under-estimate the power of the melting pot to assimilate even the most different of cultures. Some argue the US culture is like the Borg. It assimilates us all whether we think so or not. Quote
