Nicely put Abtronic. Multiculturism cannot exist when each unit seeks to eliminate public display of one's own custom and insist on forced separation. Another thread here at AO included language, I stated if there is no common mechanism for communication then that action to institutionalize multiple languages. supports separation of races and separation of cultures. If one doesn't want to join a multinational community, why leave the original culture? Why separate one self from the society they live in? I don't get it.

Multi-culture can only exist when customs are joined and accepted. You don't have to like "Silent Night" to respect it and accept those people as neighbors because the VAST majority of people like it when shopping. Those who seek to destroy multiculturism through separation lose my respect. What if I said a made up holiday in the 60s offends me? Or "Feliz Navidad" offends me? I get squashed because a minority who doesn't even give a rat’s ass about the flag or this country or my views has precedence to destroy my own inherent beliefs over there own. Even, EVEN though I am resolutely not Christian by my own thoughts and only seek to allow a culture I have little understanding of keep some of they’re values or traditions. I like Silent Night, Felix Navidad, and a mesh of other traditions not of my own Irish and Scottish decent because..... they are fun and make me smile. To oppose those things of diversity in the world is extremely selfish.

Some would have a world void of diversity and color while thinking they are protecting freedom when in reality they destroy it and create there own example of a black and white world devoid of feeling and emotion, with a dictionary of colorful and traditional words removed because it’s not politically correct to have the word “God” in there or “Hanukah” or “Christ-anything” or even the words “inspiring” “beautiful”and “diverse”

PS, if one said anything about morning prayer in a Muslim country, even when it woke you up every single day when all you want to do is sleep sleep sleep… the people might just break into your house and have a “word” with you, for the selfish audacity to think you could have the nerve to insult them. In fact in Afghanistan and Iran you would be thrown in jail then executed to a cheering crowd (they don’t share my diversity feelings of union). Or you could choose to join with them and wave on their way even though you choose to not partake in their belief or think it is evil. Buy a nice man coffee while waiting on the bus and call him “abi”. I choose respect.

Another speech I quess.
