Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Jesus said it all there. Leaders of all Nations need to have honest dialogue and ideologies that conflict coud be discussed at the table instead of using war to settle differences. There was a lot of hints that Brevick was intending to commit some act of terror and his purchase of explosives was ignored. There has to be preventive measures taken to prevent any more terrorism and everone that saw the Oslo bomb scene should follow up to see that every measure is taken to prevent this from happening again. Since you live in Norway I ask you to get someone to go to the 5'th story office where the smoke was pouring out to videotaqpe inside this area to investigate whether another bomb went off there.
Terror is part of the world as it is now, we can't prevent it. We can only change people of the future, not the past. The only way to prevent it in the future is by logical explanations and unite the world by making the world as peaceful as possible and respect anyone's values. "If you have no fear, you have no hate, if you have only love you will not fear." Thus the evolution has to stop evolving as if we were animals of the world, intelligence has to be brought up to the level of peacefulness, and this has to happen everywhere to make people relate to it. I am hoping for diplomatic changes in all world's countries, where we can do what we can to make peace in the world. It's more than enough if you believe in the world, to make a change of yourself and your future. Discuss openly and freely, discuss for the right reasons, and you will change a person and this will change the world for the better. Thus we will never stop evolving for a better world. Do not hide, do not stop caring, give of yourself to others, do not harm, care. Love yourself, love your neighbours, help the world, and help yourself. Most of all show yourself as the man you want to be, do not hide. Do not be afraid of what will happen in the world. Make sure noone is alone, this count for yourself too, you're not alone. We are here to love eachother, not make fear and hate. You are a human, who can make your own future. Use it.
So, what are Europe's leaders thinking when they declare that "multiculturalism" is a "failure", Chuckles? Were they expecting a pluralistic outcome to their policies?
Good luck wishful thinking, as the history of the world is the history of conflict and strife. However, if the West doesn’t wake up fast Islam will subsume it and the world will enter a very regressive new Dark Ages it may never be able to escape from. Indeed, world peace is about as attainable as ending all crime and about as impossible. Yeah right! You don’t want to live on planet Earth; you want to live in Shangri-La! How about always maintaining a military strong enough to deter wars, because it is a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run to maintain a superior military than it is to have to fight wars, and then in the event we still have to fight wars as some people inevitably are insane and therefore can't be deterred, it makes those wars far less lengthy and costly? Isn’t that a far better way for governments to spend the taxpayer’s money, instead of throwing it down the proverbial drain on foolish social welfare programs and other fantasy based schemes like the ones you listed above? Indeed, how is throwing down the proverbial drain the taxpayer’s money on foolish social welfare programs in pursuit of silly fantasy based notions like world peace going to stop and deter wars and also defend our freedom? The reality is it won’t and the inevitable result will be a world where totalitarianism dominates instead of a world where freedom dominates.
Indeed, Multiculturalism is what destroyed the Roman Empire, and just like it brought down the Roman Empire, it is bringing down the West. You are deliberately trying to confuse people by conflating multiculturalism with freedom. Multiculturalism along with its corollary political correctness are both forms of cultural communism, and both are intended to destroy united homogeneous societies from within to replace them with Marxist totalitarian utopias or Islamic totalitarian paradises. With all due respect, free trade has nothing whatsoever to do with multiculturalism.
Hahahaha.. Never mind that Rome conquered most of the known world and ultimately slipped into cruel debauchery.
apparently you dont like the honest answer Fact is, the culture of palestine wents from farmers, peasants and mutli cultured people to a divided, fenced in, hatefilled, nuclear armed country that is now the hotbed of terror. Bigotry is what divides. The op opener was sharing one of the pursuits of peace and the posts you put in are about divide. why? So i will share my feelings: Mankind will judge the bigots and peace will reign as the cancer is removed. Any of us can go the doctor and perhaps have cancer within our bodies. If the doc cannot cut it out, then to save the life of the body, often chemotherapy is the last resort. each know these things, so to, be prepared We will judge, and nuclear war will cleanse. Then the Way will be the avenue bound to Love. That scope when understood as the long term pursuit of 'life', in itself has an innert focus of giving of self for the next, of life. ie.... to comprehend what life is itself, then each can understand the empathy necessary for global peace (world peace) to exist. The revealing is underway as knowledge evolves and nothing will stop it!
If it wasn't for the multitude of different cultures deliberately imported into America, America would not exist as it does. The same goes for Britain. How many cultures have we absorbed and been influenced by over the centuries? Scandinavian, Roman, French, Spanish etc. You name it, your ancestry will display it somewhere.
I don't believe that because homogenous groups of people will alway look for reasons to hate each other. Put 10 white anglo-saxon protestants in a group and they will divide themselves into two groups of five before lunchtime.
i like the approach. Welcome to the forum. dont worry, your gift of compassion is heard. I am sorry but as i have denned with the wolf, i taste both love and hate. Nothing will stop what is coming as ugly as it will be, the children will have the chance that was not available to you and me; the truth on the first pass.
So what is the 'host culture' of America? European immigrants; the Native American? Why don't you tell us who exactly is 'diluting' whom. Oh, I know! It's the white, anglo-saxon protestant. Isn't that right Don?
what's an anglo saxon? is that like a 'peckerwood' ? Or is that just anything 'white'? Are serbs anglo saxon? Polocks? Germans? English? How about Greeks and irish? What's an anglo saxon? Netanyahu is white, would it be anti semitic to call him an anglo saxon?
This always lead to a political view of people. This is religion. Love is bigger than hate. Without hate we have no fear, without fear we have no hate. Without culture, we would not have a fear for anyone. Without fear we would love. Love is the only way for the world to not explode. Hate will explode it. Accept the human world, accept everyone as they are, tehn we will win the world. No culture is what we need. If you think you are your culture, then you're wrong. We need a vision of goodness, not afflicted by community, but by yourself. Do not think you're part of evolution. Your mind can grow to who you want to be. Last of all. We all need you to give us all you can to feel happy not deluted and living to help the world grow. Don't destroy it. Now that's reality.
you are asking people to learn. i like the foods i am of the human culture ie... personal responsibility irresponsible ie...lying to the self cant grow if not evolving what? give to live try the rule: Good (actions a person can cause to exist by choice); support life to continue (grow) Bad: loss to the common telling someone not to grow and not to evolve is a bad. telling someone culture is bad, is bad giving of self to evolve and assist life with evolving, is good.
Hmm. I might of worded it wrong. Evolution is part of us already, we can just say that culture means to grow at heart to belong to a society(we need to belong to world society not our own culture), if we grow at heart but with no needs where the self is what matters, then we can succeed at world peace, but if we grow in a direction where culture effects you to bad choices that makes you hate, then you're in the wrong position to get to where you want to be. Ofc other people matter, but if cultural choices didn't matter to you we would have no reason to fight among eachother. Every person in the world deserves respect from people around them and we need to unite the world by a culture that accept people who isn't like us. People will still die, it's part of evolution if the world can't support them. We need to just accept that we can die anywhere in the world. We need to accept ourselves and others enough to give what we can afford, love to eachother is the easy way. Fear and hate will make people belonging to a culture of war. If you can change your heart and try to change others why shouldn't other people change to find a new community united among world's citizens? Your perspective of the world is the only thing that count. If you change the world will evolve to a better future. You will pick what direction the world will go in. We might have to evolve the culture to make it one that fits the world citizens, but we can only do our best to unite everyone. This will greatly reduce the risk of a terrorattack, might not solve all wars but close to it. So let the culture grow, let yourself grow to a point where you are accepting all world's citizens. If we can spread the love and not fear we can make our life the best we can. If culture means that the world's citizens is suffering due to your views, and people die like flies, then you can't accept your culture as yours.
Assimilation is a vital part of adapting to immigration, so I'm not disputing that. I think we might define multiculturalism differently though. It sounds like you're referencing cultural separatism, which is a bit different.
The idea of World Peace is at this time a fantasy, humans are a tribe species which by nature means that we will be in conflict with each other, to think that we can stop this by "love" is simply stupid and anybody who does needs to come back down to Earth.
As most couples will appreciate, ' love' is very closely linked to the availability and sharing of resources. World peace is an environmental issue.
Personally I root for the Star Trek utopia for our collective future. The things I notice is as a culture gets advanced the birth rate goes down. Because one of the first things government tackles is health care and retirement for its elderly, and once that happens the fear of aging uncared for lessens. The infant mortality rates also drops meaning you don't need to have ten kids so 4 survive. So my answer modernize the world. As long as there are pockets of no technology, no quality of life, lack good governance, no access to resources like power, water, sewage, heat. along with a lack of productive options for youth we will have a hard time achieving world peace. Once we get 1st or 2nd world resources into the hands of everyone then we can look into the crazy folks.
Well, we could all be like buddhists or 3rd world and stop modernism and grow the plants we need to live, this way we could only think about love and not let anything else rule the world. Economy causes grief, grief causes hate and we can only counter it with love. Nothing else would matter if we all had food and love, nothing else. You might not think that a 3rd world country could have peaceful environment without forces from the rich countries to interfer, but if people can't support themselves, it's probably due to lack of places to grow, and then you would need to move on, making all borders a problem. if we all shared what's ours we might not have this problem at all. Death by nature is natural, death by war is making grief. 3rd world countries generally take care of their country.
In its current form multiculturalism is an artificial intellectual construct, and a component of leftist ideology that emphasizes division, separation and identity politics. Ideological multiculturalism precludes the blending of cultures and precludes unity. Ideological multiculturalism is one of the reasons Western societies are composed of groups who hate each other.
