What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

Haven't heard of Lebanon, have you?

You present an argument with no logic at all, and not at all countering my observation.

I said that countries that are lacking in diversity are generally unhealthy in respect of what sort of mediocre shite people are supposed to tolerate in ethics and behaviour. Ireland had a shift on when it joined the EEC. That was the biggest intercultural political project ever, in that it brought people together into a single marketplace. That only went so far of course. That was an outside effect, that brought people in, and in turn the people who came in helped shift the rock further up the hill.

However, new cultures and new races of people arriving here helped us get forwards. Think of where abortion rights would be without the sacrifice of the life of Savita Halapanaver for example.

You are a deeply insecure individual.

What is it that threatens you about someone having different thoughts to you? Do you have to sort the forks in the drawer before you can leave the house?

How long is it since you have read any newspaper article about Japan? Come on, be honest. High suicide, high depression, high levels of people not being able to get married..... and their economy has been on a decline https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG?locations=JP

Nobody is arguing for the kind of "diversity" in the US. Thats the sort of country you and your gang of 5 friends here would create, where the newer and darker people would be treated like doormats because in your eyes they don't belong.

There is a recent law passed in Quebec where people working in government functions and esp. in positions of authority cannot wear religious symbols at work. Lotsa people cry fowl, and characterize Quebec as a chauvinistic, and xenophobic society because of that law.

I am comfortable with that. Other provinces and states can do what they want with religious freedoms, but if you are teaching or policing, judging, etc… You need to realize you are a tool of the state, not the other way around.

So called religious freedoms in the public realm have become another card in the camel riding democrats who demand more " freedom" to regulate civil law in sharia courts and the like.

The law in question, bill 21 is a bulwark that can discourage repeated attempts to undermine the legal predominance of state courts in matters where women in particular can be relegated to subjection of aleatory authority.

You are now resorting to cheap insult as you've lost the argument.

What’s this ‘we’ business, paleface? 🤔

Reference might be before your time 😁

Countries regarded as lacking in diversity are usually regarded as unhealthy by those in the minority, based upon their own standards, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.

While joining the EU has had an influence on our economy, it’s a bit much to suggest that joining the EU has had much of an influence on Ireland culturally or politically. It would be far more true to suggest that Irish culture and politics is far more influenced from the other direction - the US.

I wouldn’t use the example of abortion as a signal of anything great either tbh, particularly when black leaders in the US portray the issue as “black genocide”. It’s far more complex than that obviously, but in much the same way as you don’t appear to care for the facts relating to the history of Irish society and politics if you think without Savita Halapannavar’s death Ireland wouldn’t still have voted to repeal the 8th amendment, the proponents of “black genocide” don’t care much for facts which contradict their narrative either.

Seems like it fits Luttrell's definition of diverse multiculture though. Well I've lived in a few of these Country's, and believe me, this kind of culture we can do well without.

You don't seem to know the history of Ireland at all. Did it stop in 1960 for you, after the Christian brothers gave up whipping it into you?

The EEC brought forward social conditions, and environmental laws which you and your ilk all still whine about as if they were heavy impositions. For example the marriage bar for married women in the civil service had to go when the gender equality principles were adopted. Also there were a raft if laws that asked EEC states to come up with labour activation measures based on the principles of social solidarity - prior to that the Irish Government's policy was designed for the interest of the white, settled, heterosexual, mediocre, superficially catholic, eldest farmer's sons - EMIGRATION.

The problem about your ideas on what constitutes a solid "politic and philosophical" is you don't have a single positive thing to say about diversity because you are obsessed and fascinated by difference in a love hate sort of way. Mainly hate, but then we know you couldn't do without it.
