What is even sadder is the people setting the social agenda usually don't have to deal first hand with the consequences of their failing policies.

Agreed. I call it the "Rule of Inverse Proportionality".

Generally a person's belief in the validity of multiculturalism is inversely proportional to their actual experience with it.

German tourists visiting Miami and Iowa farm girls who move to the city learn real quick how to determine which poor people will eat you and which won't.

They quickly learn that the top 1% they met in college and at summer camp are the exception, not the rule.

If multiculturalism is so wonderful, why do the elites send their children to private schools and live in gated communities? Shouldn't they be immersing themselves in the wonderful salad bowl of diversity to the greatest extent possible so as to lead by example?

I always chuckle when I see media elites rage about how "racist" European Americans are I imagine dropping them off on a dark Detroit street corner one night for a bit of intimate cultural comparison.

As far as Im concerned there is only one people who have the right to call themselves 100% pure ozzie: the people whose ancestors got to Australia first, regardless of what society was like at the time.

I mentioned this before, but I'm reminded of a passage in the book, Lucifers Hammer. From memory it goes something like this: 'Womens liberation died the moment the comet struck.'

Like it or not there is probably quite a lot of truth to what Novus says.

IMO it looked the violence was more akin to English football hooliganism than racist - the racial groups represented the different teams and it seemed like they all went out for a good evenings (violent and stupid) entertainment.

The collective IQ of a group is set by the lowest common denominator!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Novus', '

Or tried to communicate with someone out of ear shot? Men can convey what they want someone to do with a one or two simple hand gestures while a woman would need to talk it though for ten minutes. A Women's brain even more so then her body is different then a mans. If you don't know what I am talking about then that is because you are a woman.

Like it or not post peak women are going to be put back in their place.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') can accept that men and women think differently. But not as different as some guys seem to think. It's more like height

So this thread moved into the male/female realm. I was chit-chatting with a very pretty waitress about her use of the internet. She told me that she likes shoes. She likes to look at pictures of shoes. My thought was that OK, consumerism is a way of life. What does the average Joe or Jane know about resource depletion? Answer: nothing. Who will be mortified by the hard times ahead the most? Women. BTW, I've seen waitresses whose taste in clothing is solid and remarkable. Very pretty. The art of wearing pretty clothing is a feminine thing. Beauty and The Beast. Men will revert to rags easier than women will.

Worrier, I have a daughter over in Europe playing vollyball. It is the culmination of her dreams, but she is only in her 20s. Hardship is coming, and I've tried to tell her about it. She loves and honors me, but she finds it hard to accept the doomer scenario. This is but a wrinkle on the problem. We are up against it and few can accept it.
