Ha, loved the ending - yep, in-bloody-conceivable we'd do that to each other.
I totally get why people are anti immigration and prefer to stick to their own. Still, I do love the diversity other cultures bring. We're in a different situation here in Australia than there though. Even if the pollies tell us to be very afraid, we've always been a culture of many cultures, which has always worked.
Kids - yep.. I'm with you. Unless they are closely related. My grandchild is obviously not like the other lizard children.
Diversity is all fine and dandy but if we continue to flood our countries with cultures incompatible with our own we'll end up with one homogenous mishmash monoculture, our past and traditions forgotten.
As to your grandchild, if you're anything to go by I'm sure she's a little darling:)
Aw shucks.
You know, I'm always seeing both sides. Tradition is good, but then we do change over history, it's inevitable. Digging our heels in and protecting 'tradition' at all costs can be counter intuitive when the new can enhance a culture. Again, Australia is very different in this regard but there's still white Australians getting massively pissed off that their culture is being tarnished by migrants. Wtf, we are only 250 years old and we STARTED as a mish mash of Europeans who massacred the people who were here to start with. Maybe we have something to learn from others? Anyway here we have politicians making us terrified of migration eg Sudanese youths which is frankly just fear mongering. Then you have migrants so bloody grateful to be here they're pretty much Aussie anyway in how they approach life here.
I guess I'm interested in what 'incompatible' is here. I imagine we agree if it's like the Taliban or whatever. But most of the time we are more alike that we imagine. We want good lives for us and our families.
But you know, as I said, it's a different kettle where you are and I totally get what an issue it is.
I get your point and I know there's a lot of scaremongering around migrants, but at the same time I know there's an agenda afoot to change the European demographic. These migrants are not coming, they're being brought here to live in tents pitched on Dublin streets. This is not a good life for them or us.
I don't know enough about it - that sounds like a nightmare though!
