Sixties liberalism swept away our shared sense of decency
I would tend to agree.A crass, 'anything goes’ culture is as stupid and pernicious as a prudish and repressive one

Most of the behavior is attention seeking. Though there is much that is really for other motives that is even worse.Typhoon wrote:Tip of the hat to "Doc" . . .

Blunt non civility for one. It seems to me that many left wing posters on some sites take all arguments immediately to blunt non civility immediately. I tend to pay attention to such things and take to trying verbally beating them up in a "civil way" I don't call people names but in general it offends me when I see people being uncivil in a junior high school kind of way. Mostly they do it to avoid all discussion. So I try to make them look at least childish and at most "monster like" in more subtle ways. I am not sure how much better that makes me but I do get results in getting people to be more civil towards each other.noddy wrote:another word with a diverse array of definitions, blunt truth civility or subtle talking around the subject variety ?Doc wrote:noddy wrote:whos definition of decent ?

I think multiculturalism is over done. In Europe it always struck me that Multiculturalism was an attempt to copy the US and go beyond how things are in the US. The US is the most multi cultured country in the world when you get right down to it. They teach in more languages in LA than total languages spoken in most countries.a minority opinion for the moment.Doc wrote:Multiculturalism is dead.
the question is if that changes do things split into many monocultures or does one of the stronger groups slaughter its way back to total control.

the people that brought in all the things you seem to also dislike, are also the people that want the most immigration - its the post 60's counter culture lefty types that hate the old wasp culture.
the old wasp culture wouldnt have allowed much immigration to have any problems with it

In this search for intellectual identity poetry became the bedrock of Persian exceptionalism… and one work stands above all others, a national epic by the 10th century laureate Firdausi, the Shahnameh, or the Book of Kings. Thirty years in the writing and the longest such narrative poem in the world, it spread rapidly not in print but orally (and powerfully) from generation to generation.
..
Firdausi’s epic restored Persian self-confidence. He purged Arabic from his language and created a new “purified” Persian, at the same time damning the Arab invaders: “There will be tyranny of soul and tongue. A mongrel race—Iranian, Turkoman, Arab—will come to be and talk gibberish…”
the importance of hedge funds and real estate booms and all the other parasite industry is not a morality issue nor cause of any problems.Heracleum Persicum wrote: Hedge funds ? ?
Same hedge funds who milkin & shorted America ?
Are these people America wants to lead American civilization and culture of future ? ?
If the answer is yes, then why complaining ?

the fact you think we are subhuman and need your morality to become human is all the story i need to know.If you look at "Western Philosophy", philosophers, Hegel, Kant, Goethe, Schiller, Hippocrates, Herodotus, Plato etc etc you would think they mathematicians, vivid in Pythagoras, an great philosopher AND mathematician
But .. those western philosophers never talked about "Humanität" .. they talk philosophy as logic/mathematics.
Well, humans are no logical/mathematical robots, humans function on Humanität
And that is "Persian Civilization"
I think the author could use a better sense of Hume, er, . . . Well, a bit of philosophy at the least.

Whenever I hear the word multiculturism, I release the safety on my trebuchet pre-loaded with the corpses of diseased farm animals.noddy wrote:multiculturism is a social experiment done by bored middle class whites who like new food and music.
they pretty much define it as new food and music, the rest is all rejected as racism because everyone agrees with middle class whites, those folks are the living definition of a perfect society so its self evident all cultures will become them if they could.
