So I was watching a news report on the attacks in Norway on youtube, and there were a load of islamphobic right wing fucks in the comments, calling him a hero and others declaring the multiculturalism had failed. So I added a comment
QuoteMulticulturalism has not failed. There are virtually no problems in Ireland and there are people from all over the world, Australia is full of immigrants and although there are those who are malcontent with immigration, it has not resulted in mass murder. Who cares about Islam, Islam and Christianity are pretty much the same thing, both religions are a waste of time, they just cause trouble. But I still respect peoples rights to have their own religion. We're all human, why should it matter?
Yeah I went all over the place, but I was annoyed at these people.

These are the two comments  I got back
Quotelol please understand that ireland isnt half as tainted as england, and australia let the asylum seekers drown or redivert them to malaysia, the immigration only allows people with useful qualifications and a stupid amount of medical checks. Two completely different things, and i wish the best for ireland, and for the immigration to be minimals, dont give the shit excuse "we are all human" aswell, there is no NEED to push for multiculturalism, no other ethnic country does this.


QuoteBecause when muslims achieve majority demographically they'll take power thanks to democracy, destroy it and impose shariah and their way of life on everybody and therefore destroy European civilisation. Do you want your granddaughter to wear niqab mandatory and your grandson to pray 5 times a day in fear of lashing? To want an end to any liberty that doesn't comply with Allah's will? The best part is that when it happens, left-wingers will be slaughtered by their beloved muslims


These people are fearmongering. Trying to tell people that Islam will become dominant. Well you know what? I don't give a fuck. Really, who cares. Most countries in Europe have a secular system, probably all. Islam becoming popular won't change that. These people who talk about Shariah law like it's some great evil, I'm no fan of it. But I find it hard to believe it will EVER happen. If it does, do you think people will take it? No. I'm just annoyed at the solidarity people are showing with Breivik. I will never condone violence against  innocent people as a form of political protest. Regardless of circumstances. Really it just makes me sick, that other people could view human beings like that.

The only way multiculturalism will fail is if bigoted, racist people refuse to accept other cultures. America is the perfect example of multiculturalism being a success. The country itself is founded on a multitude of races. Food, accents, language etc. All a result of a mixing pot of ethnicities, races, religions. In fact we can thank the multicultural society in America for Soul, RnB, Jazz, Blues, Hip Hop, and even Rock. These genres of music came about as a result of people originally from Africa fusing their traditional music with that of people originally from Europe et cetera. Most Americans embrace their heritage and are descendant from people of different ethnicities and races. I can be sure of this merely from the "Stereotyping" thread over on Laptops and Tea where we've been listing which countries our ancestors originated from. Some people in America are Islamaphobic as well, but there in the minority and Americans accept Islam despite the mainstream media bombarding them with "MUSLIMS BAD! THEY BLOW YOU UP!"  Regardless of that America is the perfect example of different ethnicities getting along and founding a great nation.

Sorry I'm bigoted against bigots. lol.

I'm interested as to what other people think? Is anyone here opposed to multiculturalism? If so why?

This whole thing sounds silly to me as someone who lives in the US.  I interact on a daily basis with Nigerians, Iranians, Koreans, Indians, Mexicans, Italians, and Colombians (I'm talking about people who live in those countries that are temporarily in the US with work or student visas).  Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists.  Anarchists, Communists, Libertarians, Socialists, Capitalists.  Even here, there are some that seclude themselves and are afraid of other cultures, but the majority of people can get along.

It's basically the point I'm making. People of many different cultures, creeds and races get on in America, but there's been an upsweep of xenophobia and islamaphobia in Europe. It just makes me sick.

America isn't the best place in the world for acceptism.... if that's a word. It's more that America has lots of larger communities that are more varied, so its general image is that it's varied (besides the whole everyone can come here thing that's total being perverted by politicians and etc.)

Lots of the smaller communities are just as bigoted, except few people take notice, because they;re small. Check out a stephen king book, small towns all have their own hates. I come from a 90% black community myself, and the community's culture naturally makes them ignorant.

the youtube is a p bad sample of people, but i guess you just go really bad comments really fast. Either way, religious hold on people is starting to loosen, if anything, totally contrary to what those people said; globalism is pretty influential.

What is really, really interesting is that while Abrahamic Christians give so much importance to their own free will, by their very definition of their God they deprive Him of free will.
The concept that He is not human and thus not derive the same morals as us really does not work. If his idea of morality, good or evil, is beyond us, is beyond our comprehension, why should we care? If he judges that not saving a woman from being raped a murdered a moral decision, then we should still trust him?
god i am such an atheist asshole.

I am on such a coolkid atheist rampage this week.
