That's not what landmark's talking about, Jonathan. It's about bias against immigrants regardless of their legal status.
Like landmark, I see it nearly every day. |

What I was talking about was The Royal Institute of International Affairs reports from their 1930s meetings. Where they discussed what they called world integration or something like that. Which was is a plan of mass immigration into all the Western countries by the end of the century and on. They had representatives there from every British Commonwealth country and other non-commonwealth countries, like the United States, Canada and all. They talked of the numbers from different countries, how many Britain would take and from where and all that. The point I was making about it was that they went into the problems foresaw in it all. The said culture clashes were bound to cause trouble. In short they did not want their policy blamed for it so for their politically reasons they said they could blame the people under the cloak racism. None of which means that racism does not exist but means these people, who long plan all this stuff, they are very tricky.

The we you refer to I have always known were of a communist mind set.
You see people as black and white, which make you racist. Whereas I see culture differences, which cause trouble, which makes me practical. So you go ahead and say something more about colour of people Ed.

"The we you refer to" - I didn't refer to any "we," I referred to your claim that "inter-mixing" is the problem in the world and pointed out my place in it.
I didn't marry my wife because or in spite of the fact that she's black. I married her because I knew from High School that she was my soul mate... it took a little longer for her to realize it. I'm not the one claiming that "culture mixing" is the trouble in the world. I'm the one who fell in love with someone of a different race, married her and had children. You don't get to play the moral high ground card with me.

The “we” is directed at John's “we’ve” above and nothing to do with you Ed.
The mass mixing we see today pondered, refers to mixing of culture: Culture, is the collective customs or behaviour of different peoples from different places. Which has nothing to do with the colour of people or race. When you put people with different collective customs or behaviour in the same country on mass, then you naturally will get culture clashes. They, your government reps in 1930s reports said that in their reports. They also said for political reasons they could put that trouble caused from the culture down to racism. Now if you think that is kooki then you must think its your government that is kooki because it's your kooki government rep that said it. As can you see I nor they mention colour or marriage. Obviously it is your misrepresentation of the word mixing which got you confused. On Oct 11, 2014, tommy wrote: In the 1930s the people who planned the mass mixing we see today pondered. Way back then they perfectly understood it would cause culture clashes and trouble. They said that they could get over it by calling it racism. Nothing new in all this, no nations, no borders, one people, one world government idea. You are an old man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI5hrcwU7Dk Quote: On Oct 12, 2014, tommy wrote:

My apologies then. But then what's your suggestion? Lock each culture in it's own area (ohh, what's that word, I know; ghetto) and keep them completely apart?

Ed to be fair many cultures have their own places which are not ghettos at all.
You may continue arguing now.

What is your point of bringing up the whole "cultural mixing" bit, then, tommy? If it's satire or commentary, I've failed to catch it.

BTW, am I in trouble because I'm on this thread AND watching a Japanese cartoon (anime) about swimming called "Free"? - I've discovered the Japanese like to throw odd English phrases in their opening themes. (I actually noticed it first in "Inuyasha" where the theme opens with; "I want to chane the world" and then "Azumanga Diaoh" where the line "cake for you" pops up out of nowhere. I also know there was a pop tune called, "Yatta" which opens with; "It's so easy, happy go lucky."

My personal view is, if you want to operate efficiently, if you should be in Rome, live in the Roman manner; if you should be elsewhere, live as they do there. The fastest cars are not aerodynamic for nothing.
If you don't want to operate efficiently then go to America speak Sputnik and drive a car that looks like a box.

Abandoned weapon fragments are not what I'd call WMDs. That's a bit like saying that there's an American stockpile of atomic weapons on the Kwajalein Atoll.
