I would not call Japan a very happy and content society. You have many young people who drop out and disengage from it - shut ins. Their birthrate is dropping as many women don't want to get married and have children. It's known also for having a rather high suicide rate. And because they limit immigration, they're facing a labor shortage, such that they have had to import workers in factories.

Poland's economy is such that many of its able bodied go out to work in the UK and Ireland. I'd say they have bigger things to worry about than ethnic or cultural matters.

OTOH, immigrants who come to America have been our strength. They build businesses and contribute to the community. Surely you forget that one of the co-founders of Google was an immigrant?

You're entitled to your beliefs but facts belie them.

In the past, most immigrants came here legally. Not so in recent years. It's the lawlessness and lack of respect for our laws that contributes to divisions.

One can't say that as a single dimension declarative... as it is true, within much of societal conduct: "it's people who are as American as any who are promoting havoc not only in the streets but within the minds...." Therefore... One has much to consider when trying to decipher the generalized elements that are of and with discord within our society.

Respect what is Democracy and people can work to atone themselves into what is the Equality factors. When people feel shunned, put down, pushed back, imposed upon and other trying to dictate the simplicity that is lives; which functions "within" THE LAW... and other try to tell them... they can't have the opportunity to express themselves. "Discord".. has much then which has much potential to prompt option that makes it present itself.

What matter is PUBLIC DECORUM.... that is a policy of and within society... to "not offend", equally so, not to be so quick to be offended... then; what comes through understanding has opportunity to present itself.

Any many who has not the temperament gained of tolerance, then he will loose his temperament, and then he himself becomes intolerable.

Each is responsible to understand what is Dignity!!!! and to learn it, and work to build it within what is their character... thus it will present itself within and through their personality.....

Yemen and Haiti are mostly ethnically homogeneous. Those countries are not happy countries. If multiculturalism is the problem, then why are those countries, which aren't really multicultural at all, are in such bad shape?

To the OP, you do realize that Japan is dying because of low birthrates and no immigration. Thus, there is a lack of young people paying into retirement, causing yuuge problems very soon.

Anyway, schools in America continue to teach 'Roots' by Alex Haley eventhough it's been debunked as a fraud, and Haley was sued by the white author of the book which Haley copied.

Japan is having social problems such that they are not marrying and making families. Of course this is true in many western countries. The answer is not to import people who will have children but also fail to assimilate or respect the culture of the country inviting them. Not enough people from developed countries are appreciating their own cultures enough to want to preserve it through generations.

The burka is not a style choice, it's a statement on women's place in our society and it should not be forced on others to see in a free and equal society

So no, no "fiction" here - the practice shows us that this superiority was quite real and they did have an upper hand in what we know as current "order of things."



Yes the change is due, but it's not about "changing the majority," but rather separating two ideas by which the society wishes to live, since these two ideas are incompatible. And this in turn, brings the potential explosion in the society.



When you bring the comparison between the car and the buggy, sure you imply that the car is more advanced, and that's the reason why people progress to the next logical step, don't you?
But in case of "replacing the White majority" in America - where do you see the advantage here? Can you prove it? Because if you look at the native lands of people of color ( be that Africa or India or the Middle East) - you won't see the prosperity, you won't see the prevailing of the word of law, but rather misery and corruption instead. It is not the Whites that flock to those lands eager to live there, but people of color that flock to the lands, where Whites are still the majority. And why is that? Because the Whites know not only how to create the laws, but to dotingly uphold them, while developing their society step by step. And with the development comes the prosperity.



I'll tell you what's coming next. If you read the bible, you'll realize that the New Testament came in place, because the Old one ( i.e. the old covenant between God and people) didn't quite work out, therefore the new covenant was needed.
Likewise, if the Christianity under which the Whites in the US used to prosper failed, ( because it's incompatible with ideas of "women emancipation,") then the new covenant ( and new teaching) are needed. And this new covenant will be more inclusive of people of color I'm sure. Because the ideas of "communal living" and "powerful women" are more consistent with what they've had once in their distant past. More so, ( consistent that is,) than the ideas of men's "individualism," "independence" and women's submissiveness - the way Christianity was meant to operate.
Maybe you should do some research before posting more ignorance.

So just seeing a woman wear a burka triggers you? Wow, talk about unrealistic fears and hates

I think some may need to "get out more" and truly look at the landscape of the American society. (Devastation Exist from East Coast to West Coast and from North to South!!!!

So much now is directed toward "wealth as the only objective". and we've seen nothing but our Universities for Decades, teaching nothing but "wealth chasing methodology". IT has become a society that lost its sense of human value...
Anything goes "when it comes to the pursuit of money"... Look at the health care mess. People in such a greed chase until they place the human element at the very bottom, and if they are in-firmed or aged, they are in a cast off category, where society has no concern to care for them.
America now placed a man in the top office, where his presentation has destroyed the concept of public decorum, and his manner and demeanor is one that has 100% faith in "riches"... he has no regard for God.. Even the concept of Church now to this administration is all about.. "how can they raise money to support politics for the wealthy to gain more wealth".

In general society women have been reduced to the concept Greed- Lust- Drama"... and in too many ways, it has descended and "Objectification of the Individuals". When it comes to the Female, she is used to flood the media with imagery as in being "an object" !!!! .... and if she does not present herself in an objectified way of presenting ass, breast and act with a "come hither" or "I'm a tease" demeanor, she is cast into a frame of being lesser considered.

It all plays into the games of "Money - Sex - Power".... This is the nature of world we have made and we have come to accept... When the decorum of the President and His Administration, has a single focus on Money, until they dismantle everything aspect of the humanity and environmental concerns, then it is indicative of a society that has descended into its own downfall.

We have people who chase money even beyond the possession of billions, yet they balk and become inflamed if the hard working people ask for a "living wage" in a society, where the wealthy have inflated the cost of everything... by their greed chasing...
Now they have to pay themselves in $10's of millions for doing nothing, because they ran the cost of everything so high, until even when they sit on $10's and $100's of millions, they still have a sense of desperation.

Imagine what impact that places on the average citizen who works and live in an environment that pays in crazy ranges of $18k and $50K.... for the hardest working members of society. And then pay the "degree riders $85K and upwards. with the people who are the skilled technicians, being paid between $50K -$85K.

Greed became so over dominating, we became generation who can't even maintain the things built by previous generations. So we have crumbling communities, crumbling infrastructure and business and industry has left nothing but empty shell across this nation. Even great works of Cultural Construction sit abandoned and in a decayed condition that no one is nor will be willing to invest to rebuild. It has become the making of "wastelands" within cities that extend for blocks upon blocks and whole communities made into expanding ghettos. Yet, we have the audacity to still walk around with a haughtiness of attitude and arrogance on the world stage. The wealthy now has created an environment where their enclaves is nothing more than similar in imagery of a hill in the middle of a Garbage Dump, with a giant fence around it. They now use their Jets and Helicopters to fly in and out, and blind themselves to the truths of the overall environment, "THEY CREATED". (a clear example mimicked from East Coast to West Coast and from North to South!!!!

All they have done is decrease the value of currency and elevated the basic cost of things. The exaggerated volumes of pay to the Executives, is only a pay off for the gaming they do, not for effectively running a business. It is all about their shell game shuffles to run up stock prices for the "Casino Player in the Markets".... when all within the game, know that the fictitious valuation is beyond even the remotest ability to produce and sell. The biggest business today in America is "Advertising - Weapon Selling - Financial/Banking Shell Games - Medical/Insurance and Drugs.... Then comes the Fossil Fuel and its global manipulations, which fuels Weapon Selling - Financial/Banking Shell Games - Medical/Insurance and Drugs. When and area is seized for "Slave Wage Labor Production", then "Advertising become the big entity that spins money and creates illusions.

America is nothing as to what it could be... It went from Slavery to chasing slaves around the Globe, and it knows no other model... Thus so.... the resulting impact is.."everything" in America Declines.

It is not Foreigners that has brought down America... it is the mentality and culture that was groomed of a system of humane disregard, which introduced and promoted slavery in various forms and formats for 300 yrs... it has expanded the parallel of Indenture which has existed side by side with slavery, and thus today, the game in America is still "to Indenture", while it chases slaves on foreign soil....

This is what is America, because it "REFUSES" to change its core ideology. Greed overcame man, when he abandoned its own Constitution of Democracy and Equality and instead Chose the Constitution of Slavery Modeling with all its Indenturing frame work.

We are doomed for the greatest downfall the world has ever know. But man and his consumption within Avarice, and being driven by such mindset that is saturated with "greed" is destined to invoke massive wars, before the great crash of a Nation that once had great potential to be a True Democracy....
