ORIGINAL: seeksfemslave Thompsonx asks seeksfemslave: Which cultures are we talking about in Germany at the time of Hitler? thompson I answer ...I dont understand the question lol To answer the question directed at popeye.... Many multicultural societies, defining multicultural as racially , tribally or religiously mixed, have experienced serious levels of violence eg Rwanda, Indonesia, Yugoslavia, why even the USA ask the Apaches lol, Uganda, Nigeria ,IRAQ right now ,South Africa, Rhodesia, Germany ,anti Jewish pogroms in the old Soviet Union and last for now the UK, musnt forget India, Pakistan seeksfemslave: I was refering to the last line of your post questioning multiculturalism. If I remember my history correctly wasn't there a time in England when it was thought that catholics and protestants could not coexist and now the two religions seem to get along without killing one another on a regular bassis. The genocide perpatrated on the native americans by the U.S, government was hardly an experiment in multiculturalism. My understanding is that Iraq is currently overwhelmingly muslim. To make the distinction of shia vs. suni is no different than saying that presbyterians and methodist living side by side is multiculturism. As to South Africa are you refering to now or under apartied...there seems to be quite a bit less murder and violence now than there was under apartied. I do not know how it would be characterized with a cricket metaphore but in baseball we would call that batting 0 for 10. Wanna try again? thompson Thompson In the UK we have just experienced 30 odd years of mayhem and murder Protestant/Catholic financed largely from the jolly old USA. When that finance was stopped after 9/11, to a large degree the violence diminished. The perception here of the last 30 od years of violence in your country is that some of the Irish felt that you folks were taking sides against them in their internal conflict ...I do not remember hearing of any violence of catholics and protestants native to England. Genocide of native Americans came about as a consequence of the policy of "manifest destiny" which led to the expansion Westwards across the USA. This policy specifically rejected multi culturalism. Which was my point. Sunni Shia murderous antagonisms are based on CULTURAL divisions. You are going to have to explain this to me since my perception is that they are both arab...both muslim...both Iraquie...so I fail to see any cultural division. Violence in South Africa. Both under Apartheid and now. Racial differences first, disillusion of the black community now. From what I have read there is less violence now by at least several orders of magnitude. I have stepped up to the pitching mound Mr T and thrown a beaner he he he he he he he. Did it hurt lol I fear your arm is a bit weak as the ball did not even reach the plate. It would appear that you are still 0 for 10 thompson
