"Aussie culture clash!" ping

[ncountylee]

The Lebanese assaults on the Cronulla lifesavers that led to this week's mass retaliation were nothing new.

Nor is gang rape a rare event.

ITS MUSLIMS.... Stop beating around the bush!

Until 1975, almost all were Maronites or Christian Lebanese. They prospered here, married into the local community and, within two generations, became largely indistinguishable from the Australian mainstream.

It isn't about Lebanon, it is about islam. I have an uncle who was a Lebanese Christian. He was a Christian first and American second and Lebanese a distant third. Not so with muslims...they are muslims first, second, and third (if they are true muslims).

"Put this week's beachside violence into its political and social context, and the conclusion is clear. It is not race that is the problem but culture."

Roger that. Good to see the Aussies fighting this before it's too late.

In Sydney it has been plain for at least a decade that, instead of ethnic communities living happily in the diversity of social pluralism, multiculturalism has bred ethnic ghettos characterised by high levels of unemployment, welfare dependency, welfare abuse, crime and violence. The social engineers responsible should have been well aware of the likely outcome, especially for young men.

The social engineers responsible should be forced to live in the ghettos they created. Let them experience how well multiculturalism works.

But it became corrupted by partisan politics. As former Labor government minister Barry Jones has admitted, immigration became "a tremendously important element" in building up a long-term, non-English-speaking political constituency for his party. In the 1980s immigration policy switched from national interest to ethnic preference, from demographic and labour market need to family reunion.

Except for the names and a few other changes, you could talk about the U.S. Democrats, and the story's the same one.

Ghetto culture for young men everywhere is characterised by interpersonal violence, sexual irresponsibility, incomplete education, substandard speech, a hypersensitivity about being disrespected and a feckless attitude towards work.

I read an interesting article once that described the same sort of behavior in settlements in the American West that didn't include women (e.g., mining camps) that contrasted them to settlements with women and families. It was women who used to value chastity because they knew that was how to get men to respect them. It was women, not men, who insisted on outlawing prostitution because they knew that it encouraged men to look away from their wives and families. And it was women who insisted on clean streets and law and order. Give men free access to cheap women who don't demand that they shape up (along with pornography, strip clubs, etc.) and you wind up with the mining camp mentality. Men don't step up and grow up unless the situation or someone else expects them to. Men are quite happy being eternal children so long as others are willing to let them act like babies.
