@MARCHERET No. You are just a typically infantile Liberal robot who can't think for himself.

[AfterAll16Z]

@Underground906 Why am I liberal or infantile?Because I dont agree with everything this guy spews,I agree with much,but the parts I dont agree sound like pretentious bullcrap to me.What are you a Neo-Con dimwit

[AfterAll16Z]

@AfterAll16Z Multi-Culturalism my ass.I have been hearing about that since Moses was a baby.How about multi -nationals the reason multi-culturalism is propped up,who funds and backs these groups La Raza and all the rest.Darylmple does not say jack squat about the operative reason behind this.So he is FULL OF SHIT and smokescreen misdirection facilitator

[Underground906]

@AfterAll16Z You are Marcheret? Yes, you have the typically emotive, reactionary, vitriolic, snearing tone of the typically infantile liberal and your argument is about as reasoned and logical as one. Your an egotistical tool,bouncing of the walls when someone says something, even on thing, counter to your retardly narrow, dogmatic little world view. Using the neo-con retort tit-for-tit as if I was using the 'infantile liberal' in the same empty headed, kneejerk ill-fitting way? Crass moron.

I am a first generation immigrant to Canada. Dr. Daniels' description of immigrant attitude is a profoundly accurate diagnosis of the malaise of "multi-cultural" societies.

My incredible success is solely attributable to my belief that as a Canadian, I could and would achieve whatever I wished. In contrast, all of the immigrant children whom I grew up with which did not adopt this mentality, now struggle

with poverty and crime, while still clinging onto their immigrant national "pride".

So nice to see and hear this brilliant author! I'm on page 190 of his latest book Spoilt Rotten: The Toxic Cult of Sentimentality.

8mmDevil, I don't deny that assimilation will make meaningful interaction a lot easier for everyone but it takes time, from the earlier generation of immigrants to the present. In d US, they were the Brits, Irish, Northern, Central, Southern Europeans, then Jewish (beginning wth the Russian progroms, then before WWII) n much later the Asians...all a polyglot lot initially.

The lady at 2.29 I presume, emigrated to the States (a society made up of immigrants) from her (nostalgically stated) 'homogenous' Britain. But in a globalised age there soon will be fewer countries that can close its doors to immigrants who come to do the jobs that the indigenes disdain to do or to bring skills that are in demand. sd goh (malaysia)

[8mmDevil]

@301250 - To say the States is a society made up of immigrants is to ignore that it has traditionally been a society of assimilated immigrants, as compared to merely "integrated". Now we see the idea that "assimilation" is some sort of cultural genocide, instead of a way to assure that citizens share a common bond, purpose and loyalty.
