The question of multiculturalism and how the more diversified the community the better it becomes, is a question of common sense.

Do, in fact, people want to live in a diversified community full of people they hate, disagree with, and are functioning via mutually exclusive philosophies with? Like say, they eat pork and you don’t. They kill animals for sacrifice and you are part of PETA. Do people actively seek out such “diversified” communities because they believe it creates a better community or state in human affairs?

No, they don’t. What people seek out is others like themselves. You ever see a mess hall in which a bunch of strangers in High School are just meeting each other? They will naturally gravitate towards people like themselves, whether Asians with Asians or people that dress in similar fashions or people who are on the same social activity teams. People congregate with people that they see as alike to themselves.

As Medea of Code Pink said on a conservative radio host, “diversity” in Berkley means diversified fake liberal beliefs, which allows conservatives to have a say “in some other city”. This might seem tolerant and “diversified” to Medea, but what it is is extreme parochialism and an exemplification of how and why multiculturalism is not only fake, but it doesn’t work. Some fakes work, but this doesn’t even pretend to work, let alone actually work for more than a femtosecond.

When you mix cultures together with no regard for inherent superiority of those cultures or people, what you get is a war like the Balkans or Darfur. You don’t get “harmony” or “superior social states”. That’s cause the natural reactions of human beings is to be suspicious of people that aren’t like themselves. The Leftist’ God Complex seems to demand that they change human nature itself for their petty whims to work. They aren’t Gods and they sure as heck have neither the power nor wisdom of a god.

A few days ago (Friday, May 23rd) 18 year-old Ben Smith was stopped, in a routine check by a police officer, while driving his Vauxhall Corsa to his home in Melksham, Wiltshire. The officer found nothing amiss, but noticed an England flag on the parcel shelf (which Mr. Smith used to cover his music system from potential thieves) and ordered him to remove it. According to Smith:

He saw the flag and said it was racist towards immigrants and if I refused to take it down I would get a £30 fine. I laughed because I thought he was joking, but then I realized he was serious so I had to take it down straight away. I thought it was silly – it’s my country and I want to show my support for my country.

If you hate your nation so much, don’t be surprised when somebody comes in and purges those of weak faith out of existence.

Neo has up a pretty good post and comment section here. Some highlights.

Where I was they were mostly liberal – most of them were out of the large cities and large universities. Interestingly enough most of the mathematicians where I worked were on the conservative end of the spectrum.

Where I went to college (East Tennessee State Uni) what you said is true and I also find it true when you get to the rank and file technologists (where I am at now).

However medium to large academics pretty much only hire liberals unless the individual in question is in some way famous in their chosen field and then all bets are off on anything.

I also know some companies sometimes do not hire outside of a liberal persuasion. I’ve interviewed in a few places (Amazon.com for one) that “not fitting into the corporate culture” was the reason for not hiring me (shortly after an explicit question on something about politics – you could hear the disappointment in the voice). Though I will readily admit that was just one HR person and may just be them too.

Outside of our group most fit right in at Slashdot social, but then we were also developing Open Source software and that end of software tends to attract leftist, socialists, and communist (not that it has too – I like many of the concepts of OSS but I don’t see it as a political/semi-religious movement either).

Y’all are cracking me up. I’m in New York City, aka Moscow on the Hudson, which is at all times swimming in a smog of lefty smug. It’s now the new bonding ritual to make a Bush-bashing remark on being introduced, to establish your bona fides, dontchya know. People speaking in public, ditto. It’s amazing to me that they’re so bloody arrogant that they assume that EVERYONE IN THE ROOM must of Course agree with them: they’re all bien-pensants, aren’t they?

Yesterday I stopped to talk with the (young) receptionist at the studio where I work, and somehow we discovered that we both had, ahem, antediluvian ideas. We smacked each other such a high-five that our hands stung! I’ve been working there since 2001, and she’s been there a bit longer: but even in an office with just a dozen people, the pressure to conform is almost unbearable. And in NYC, it’s really as much as your job’s worth to “come out” as a conservative. Or even a liberal hawk.

Her parents, like mine, were country-club Republicans, and naturally neither of us grew up thinking republicans had horns and tails. But this vicious nonsense is permeating our nation.

Well, I simply must drop down for the night. Good rest to you all.

(BTW, I loved the anecdote by the Southern man about being mistaken for a dolt by the Yankee bigots. I’ve had the same thing happen to me in NYC, being a (National Merit Scholar, etc., etc.) Carolina girl originally. Just keep messin’ with their minds, bro. )

Gotta love those antediluvan and downright anachronistic folks.

How come this person who’s capable of deductive logic can not see screaming irregularities in his leftist rationalizations?

Because deductive logic requires a person to assume certain premises to be true. In this case, their premises are not the same as yours, and mostly mutually exclusive in addition as well.
