the U.S. is relatively at the top of the food chain when it comes to cultures


Words spoken by a citizen of the United States.

There is no food chain when it comes to culture. Culture is just that, culture. No one culture is better than any other. There may be culture clashes, and the United States is better prepared financially to kill, torture and starve those who do not adapt or agree with our culture, but that doesn't make our culture better.

I think what offends you the most, and I too have had some issues with this, is not the culture of people, say Haitians, but culture clashes. When people migrate, they normally would be expected to adapt and learn the cultures of their new land.

I travelled all over the world, and stayed for extended periods of time in many places. Few nations were as tolerant as the United States when it came to adapting to ME, instead of me adapting to my new home.

Who is to blame? The people of the United States are to blame. Voters. The same people who allow sex offender registries, banishment, exile are the same people who allow their government to spend tax dollars catering to immigrants who resist adapting. When you elect leaders who are willing to banish their own people from communities for a crime, you elect leaders who will spend your tax dollars however you want, and you can either deal with it, or vote differently.

However....... when it gets close to election time, those same politicians who demand DMV forms be made available in 345 different languages play you, they feel the trend of the moment and get "tough" on crime, like sex offender laws. Voters jump on the bandwagon and decide banishing a sex offender is more important than compelling immigrants to adapt quicker and they reelect the same people. The same people who spend your tax dollars however they darn well please and you feel good about it, because that same "leader" helped pass a law that banished someone your community helped create. See Quest's new thread.

We cannot blame the immigrant for his lack of motivation to adapt. We have to blame ourselves. We make it easy and it is human nature to take the easy road.

I had to learn the language of my host nations because they would not adapt to me, I had to adapt to them, and I did not mind, in fact I welcomed it.

Do not vote for anyone who supports any rules that make it easier for immigrants to resist adaptation, no matter how far they tell you they want to banish sex offenders.

Monitor your elected officials, as election time nears, watch how they get tough on crime and avoid hot topic issues like immigration reform. See, it is really cool to slam sex offenders now, and politicians, good ones, know how to play your fears and anger. By the time the dust settles, some people have been banished and that politician was relected.

I mean, lets face it, we actually have a degree program in the United States called Political Science! What should that tell you?

Renster

If the culture in India says a woman's hands need to be removed if she does something against her culture, who are we to say its wrong? How do we know that in 200 years, it will turn out the United States was wrong on all counts? Indians are bredding faster than Americans, so if they outnumber and out power us, and they will, then their culture becomes "right" and our hamburgers will be illegal. LOL.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
