Multiculturalism has failed

Now whilst i believe the debate itself has merit ( though think that DC has put a rather disturbing anti islamic slant on it)
I do not think it the wisest day to do so given that there is a planned march by the English Defence League (think BNP with more hair) today

march in Luton

*wrong

Mmmm it seems all the racist bigots have disappeared from this thread. What a shame, they might have learned something.

LadyOfTheManor · 06/02/2011 21:02

Sorry my internet isn't being user friendly.

Who else are you expecting to admit to being wrong? and for why?

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:04

By you not admitting that you also hold bigoted views about British people.

LadyOfTheManor · 06/02/2011 21:09

I am British. I merely said, there are too many teenage pregnancies and children dressing as adults for my liking. This doesn't imply that every single woman does this.

Just some things I dislike.

But thanks to your country, I get to say how I feel without the fear of a backlash.

Thanks DC.

I have nothing to admit to. There are teenage pregnancies, and there are some aspects with this culture I abstain from (like my own culture). Still what are you going to do? Force me?

I have a son, who I will be protecting as much a possible from British popular culture-does this mean "I have to go back to where I came from"? The fact I refuse to go to mother & baby groups because all the mothers are 16...is that a valid reason "to send me home"?

Or perhaps because I don't dress like a 2 dollar hooker when I leave the house-is that because I'm not making ENOUGH EFFORT to fit in with British life?

Hmm
StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:13

No, the fact that we live in a democracywith free speech means you can have your views. As I can mine.

LadyOfTheManor · 06/02/2011 21:15

What's wrong with that?

The baby groups in the city I live in are full of underage mothers, and they do dress like prostitutes.

But like you said, I'm free to say what I like, and I shan't apologise for my views.

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:15

And neither will I.

bettybosseye · 06/02/2011 21:16

Explain yourself LadyofTheManor.

bettybosseye · 06/02/2011 21:18

This is exactly why i agree with DC's speech. (shudders at agreeing with conservative leadre). Bigotry on all sides needs to be exposed and talked about.

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:19

Ha, trying to get LadyOfTheManor to explain herself is like getting blood from a stone! Ain't gonna happen!

If you read her posts under her previous name, you'll see that she's a deliberately inflammatory poster.

LadyOfTheManor · 06/02/2011 21:20

Explain myself how? What part of it didn't make any sense to you?

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:21

Yawn. Same old shit LOTM.

bettybosseye · 06/02/2011 21:24

I'm off to bed to weep for the state of this nation. Sad

LadyOfTheManor · 06/02/2011 21:26

What previous name?

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:29

DaftPunk.

bettybosseye · 06/02/2011 21:31

Before i go i'd like to answer Ladyofthemanor- the part that doesn't make sense is the part where you make sweeping judgments about British people and culture then jump and down in outrage when the tables are turned.
That makes you not only a ridiculous biggot but a hypocrate as well.
All the teenage mums at your local mother and baby groups should count themselves lucky that they'll never have to meet you.
I'm off to bed now and won't be returning to this thread so fill your boots.

gordyslovesheep · 06/02/2011 21:34

I agree betty - being ignortant and bigotted and vile isn;t just confined to issues of race - judgment based on class, gender, sexuality, age etc are also pretty shitty

I know some god awful older mums and some pretty ace teen ones - lumping any one group together and labeling them good or bad is wrong end of x

softglowsandmaybes · 06/02/2011 21:36

Noooo shit!!! Ladyofthemanor is never daftpunk is she??? ah fuck off i dont believe it - waves madly at DP ( i used to be LEM, bet you dont even remember me!)

giveitago · 06/02/2011 21:36

Erm - I'm still pissed off with chip on my shoulder stuff. the poster who accused me has only come up with my 'incoherant' post. If they (the great bastion of multiculturalism') were really that informed they'd have understood my post with no issues.

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:37

Yep, we still haven't had that answered.

gordyslovesheep · 06/02/2011 21:37

I really didn;t get it - sorry but it made no sense - I can;t respond to a lot of it

but your views on who you could and couldn't invite to your house - sorry but it did seem hugely chipshaped

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:38

Great answer Hmm

softglowsandmaybes · 06/02/2011 21:40

this thread is unravelling, but i dont think LATM is daft punk, too poilte Grin
