I came accross these points from a sermon in one of my studies on peace.
Racial differences (e.g., white, African-American, Asian)
Ethnic differences (e.g., Hispanic, Oriental)
Political differences (e.g., conservative, liberal, moderate)
Economic differences (e.g., poor, wealthy)
Lifestyle differences (e.g., simple, extravagant)
Gender differences (e.g., male, female)
-- Amazingly diverse is the world in which we live
DIVERSITY OFTEN LEADS TO HOSTILITY...
Racial differences can lead to racism
Ethnic differences can lead to prejudice
Political differences can lead to wars
Economic differences can lead to envy
Lifestyle differences can lead to arrogance
Gender differences can lead to harassment
-- Such diversity often contributes to the lack of peace
I’m looking to move somewhere with the least diversity possible.
That is why we should have a nation under God, where citizens agree about God, thou shalts and thou shalt nots..
Afghanistan?
LOL, no.
Jamaica has nice beaches.
who wants diversity, and how is that a benefit to them?
the answers are clear
As in “diverse beaches”?
I mean mostly white people.
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont.
Tri-state permitless carry, lots of open land, four seasons, all sorts of people who get along peaceably and help each other out.
Diversity + Proximity = Violence
Mostly white sand. Nice weather. You go for the rum drinks and stay for the ganja.
Interesting topic: MoralIssues.
I was thinking about Maine. I don’t like cities, and I can do my type of job anywhere. (electric utility design/engineering)
And the riddle of what EE means is solved.
I thought you were just a fan of Cummings.
It could be both...
the bigness of cannon
is skilful,
bit i have seen
death’s clever enormous voice
which hides in a fragility
of poppies…..
i say that sometimes
on these long talkative animals
are laid fists of huger silence
i have seen all the silence
filled with vivid noiseless boys
at Roupy
i have seen
between barrages,
the night utter ripe unspeaking girls.
I’m a fan of Cummings. I had to put parental controls on myself against certain, ahem, websites.
LOL, that can be entertaining too. :)

You’re looking to move somewhere where it’s all one gender? Doesn’t sound like much fun to me.
Diversity is a given, but the way it is being emphasized today creates conflict and division. Remember how people used to talk about the unity we have as humans in spite of our differences. Now it is the differences that are important. The solution? Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Live and let live. Mind your own business.
No, racially and culturally. But you already knew that.
