Re: Solving Torontos Gun Crime: Cut Immigration From Jamica
**************************
My friend, my parents are white anglo-saxon majority that you speak off. I look Arabic or Chinese to some people I meet but I was born in Quebec and I am a French-Canadian.
****************************
My mistake. I apologize.

I understand the white majority philospohy that you can't get everything going probably unless you have everyone assimilated into the dominant society. However, there have been problems with that philosophy, look at Residential schools for an example.
********************************
Im not sure such a small microcasm of human behavior would provide any meaningfull or usefulll extrapolations.
In theory, yes, forced assimilation is often tortorous and even violent. But no one is being forced to assimilate, are they?
Even if Canada adopted a melting pot philosphey like the US - which is still pefectily consistent with Canadas unique ethnic subgroupbs (look at how various disperate regions in the US maintained their culturally automony dispite being part of a 'melting pot' philosphey - texas, southern california, midwest, northeast, new york, the SOUTH), we still wouldnt be *forcing* anyone to assimilate as its their complete and total choice to accept entry and or canadian citizenship, or not.
The french need to loosen up about the idea that western thought is somehow going to envelope their culture into a anlgophonic black hole. Look at the french right now, they impose more mandatory assimilation rules on immigrants then anywhere in Canada, and I get blasted for promoting assimilation!!
*************************************
I agree there should be assimilation into respecting the laws, culture and systems and principles of your new country however, I believe cultures all cultures bring interest to a society.

True. But only to a certain point. A country needs to share a common work ethic and value system in order to stay cohesive. Usually religion provided this great equilizing force in the past, but now with the declining popularity of religion and the advent of fanaticism, new paradigms of the social constituency are bieng constructed and new strains are being placed on our country.
History shows - stalin, unified europe under roman empire, british, egyptians, current day us - every successful country needs to have a rallying force or unifying point for its people in order for society to 'work'.
What worries me in canada is although many differnet types of people share the same value systems as canadians, their alligencies to that value system end at the territorial boundaries of their homeland. Their allegeiences to their homeland supercede their allegiences to Canada, and thus, our value and ethical system, which short circuits the whole idea of successfull 'multiculturalism', which is really just a recipe for disaster.
Look at the chinese in Vancouver. Chinese are high loyal, moral and ethical to their OWN tribe. Outside of their tribe - the sino race - the chinese are VERY XENOPHOBIC = RACIST. They believe they are Gods chosen people and we are all infidels, so to speak.
How do you think that kind of governning mindset plays in to the asians and chinese that immigrate to vancouver when deciding whether or not to follow Canadian (white man) law?? Seriously.

I am apart of society, I am in the Canadian army, I took the Queen's oath, and I am sure alot of other cultures respect Canadian culture and abide by the rules so I don't know how stoping immigration from a certain group of people will stop the crime in the streets.

I have a lot of respect for you now that you told me. I didn't figure out military service was an honorable profession until I was 25. I salute you and thank you for serving our country!
The last bit. Some groups of people are more inclined to certain behaviors - deviant or postive - then others. Some peoples/races are just smarter/more clever than others. This is just how the world is. Im sure you could think of a few countries whose culturals or seemingly innate personality or intellectual traits you admired or envied. It also works in reverse.
Often times it is not genetic. But isolates itself among certain segregated populations which gives the appearence of being genetic. Jamaica is a good example. They're arnt genetically enfebelled or inferior.
I never argued or said they were. THis is what liberalism teaches us to ASSUME (no one is right except us, even though we are so wonderfully openminded!!) its dogpoo.
But jamaica is suffering from a huge cultural failure right now. Just like the blacks. It happened to anglosaxons during the dark ages and roman rule! Shit happens!!
But the jamaicans are living in a cesspool. Thats not a racist statement. Thats a rational oberservation. Look at their crime rates. Unbeleivable. Somewhere down the line in recent history, their culture and ethics and value system fell apart and they reverted back to an extremely primitive, fight and survive way of life. So have the anglo saxons a few hundred years ago. Again this is not racist.
Actually, I think jamaica was actually a former plantation for slave owners, or slave trading depo. THen freeed slaves settled it. So it has a deep history rooted in pain, suffering, death, disease and neglet. They really need help.
But unless they ACCEPT it, we whites can't offer a thing except for education. And believe it or not friend, we have enough problems in our country and enough sick people to take care of. DEspite what you may think, canada does not have enough resources to save the world. Its impossible. Alll we can do is what we can do individually. Each and everyone of us.
Thats why i thinkk its great you joined the army man. I am envious. I wish i had joined earlier in my life.

In 1991, when Toronto had its worst murders, was it from black people, when it had its 88 homicides

Pretty much. Black on black crime was a big problem back then too. Its the afro/jamaican culture thats taken a huge noise dive and our cities and country is paying the price. These culture crashes are basically learned diseases man. Unfortunately.
I am not a heartlist conservative my friend.
