Bloody HELL!!!! that is Frickin' Ridiculous!!
Every day I get closer to buying that cave in the hills and achieving my dream of being totally removed from such stupidity!!
Hmmmm, dunno about that.
I'm big on building 'community' and I'd be happy about measures that encourage people to get together... but "forcing" them together?
Surely our fought for liberties give us the right to choose our company and not have to endure unnecessarily those we despise?
Well 'force' sounds a bit draconian I admit. But I have limited faith in people's ability to know what is best for them. I'm thinking in particular within the context of immigration and integration of immigrants; the sooner kids get used to mingling with immigrants the better. I think it's what puts Australia in such a strong position economically, we've integrated several generations of immigrants to the point where we can work with multiple cultures and races without blinking. I've noticed in working in Sweden and the Netherlands that they're not quite as accomplished as this. Sweden even less so than the Netherlands.
So whilst we read these articles and think it sounds extreme, the reality is that some societies need a bit of a push to be made to do things...we're talking about a country where the state owns the bottleshops and chemists.
what if the people don't want to mingle with immigrants?
I'm not sure if it's sad and cynical, but 'THE TRUTH'. lolThat's a very sad and cynical view Kennas. Maybe you are right.
Too bad.
You bring them into your country you've got to learn to work with them
your kids have to go to school with them
You either give a bit of yourself now and help them integrate, or you give much more over a much longer period when you and your kids and your kids kids taxes pay to keep them on the dole and later on the old-age pension.
