The idea of nationalism is as stupid as racism.
Both concepts should be outmoded.
We are people, living on the Earth. Colour and boundaries should play no part in our ideology.
To the nutters who complain about the supposed inevitability of an Islamic Britain, do you not think it is much more likely that Islam is phased out of Muslim communities that came to Britain?
That's what happened to Christianity.
(I realise this thread isn't about Islam but I get the feeling a few of the nutters that I refer to will be in this thread)
This is all pie in the sky because the above will never ever happen because of greed.
What, so my culture still exists in Bradford because there is a white guy living there? Yes he might be able to hold a tea party on his lawn if he wants to, but anything else recognisable as British culture has been wiped out. (given the issue that it is hard to define a culture when the current one has been through the blender a few times - my guide is that is you don't get Dad's Army you have a different culture)
In 2006, it was estimated that 74.9% of the city's population was White (72.2% White British, 0.7% White Irish and 2.1% as Other White), 2.9% Mixed Race, 20.5% Asian or Asian British, 1.6% Black and 0.6% from other races.
Nothing to do with it all being daft then?
An open door policy would mean everyone in Africa would be on the next plane, have you seen where they live, I'd happily move into a turd pile in Bradford rather than anything over there.
Although I probably had similar ideas when I was a student![]()
Well distribution seems like a good idea in principle. In practice it has proven to be a mess. Countries that have adopted it have suffered from poor productivity. A greater balance between nations would be quite good though.
Like I said I don't think it will EVER happen but I think it's the right idea in principle.
Country to country it could work, arguably the Euro is an example of this and that is struggling a bit. Within a country it is proven not to work.
Are you illiterate? Where did I say anything about an open door policy I said wealth should not be so concentrated.
Hey, that sounds a teeny bit like an open door policy to meI have no problem with people coming over here to get the opportunities they deserve.
How is say Africa less fortunate? They have masses of resources, if they stopped stealing from each other they would be fine, India manages to be a superpower with nothing going for it.The only reason the way things are is because wealth is concentrated in small places and people in less fortunate areas are going to want to go there!
That is what foreign aid is for, except going back to problem #1, they keep stealing it...If the wealth was evenly distributed among nations (lol if only) then people wouldn't want to go elsewhere as there would be equal opportunities in every country.
Marxism tried to share the wealth, it failed, I guess such political systems are incompatible with human nature.Oh and before anyone says I'm crazy. I don't believe the above will EVER happen but if it did the world would be a better place.

All these crappy countries only have themselves to blame - we could walk in there tommorrow and set up systems of government and law, rebuild their infrastructure and help them trade - just like we did with India (not perfectly, but things have moved on since blatant exploitation)
Yet they don't want that, all they want is "Independance" so they can go back to chucking rocks at each other.
Mmmm but I only think it would work if it was a global thing. Besides the EU is not equal. Prime example: UK we have the Pound Stirling.
You correct. Just expect a ton of backlash by do-gooders drunk on 'human rights'. Everyone is indoctrinated into sharing the same belief and is shamed and pointed at when speaking out against the status quo.
My own opinion on this ... well, it's unfit for this forum.
Actually most of the people I've spoken to spout the same kind of uneducated ill informed opinion as this.You correct. Just expect a ton of backlash by do-gooders drunk on 'human rights'.

That's far too rational, mild tempted & reasonable for this forum.Do gooders in the 1800s did pretty well for our own society, why should we not constantly try adapting it for other societies too?
You only fail when you give up.
I think it was John Cleese who said London is no longer an English city. You can see what he's referring to.
