School Diversity

[Darorinag]

Diversity makes it easier to make friends of other backgrounds. That's a strength. It creates an opportunity to make friends with people you may not have met otherwise.

Diversity creates numerous problems. It also helps ignore those problems. Hence it is a problem. How does diversity make it easier to make friends? Diversity for the sake of diversity is different from diversity for the sake of advancement of capitalistic agendas.

You're ignoring entire words of my post... i didn't say makes it easier to make friends

i said friends of other backgrounds

and why is that a good thing?

[dusken]

It is an individual feeling. It is a good thing if someone want a diverse group of friends. If someone only wants friends of one ethnicity then it does not affect that individual.

Individual doesn't mean universal. So you cannot generalize and say that diversity is a strength. To some it is, to many it isn't. Fact is, "diversity" has had such a horrible effect on Western society. That is exactly why countries like China, Japan, etc. do not encourage it. Not because they are not economically developed, after all, Japan is a very industrialized country..

Well you keep saying it's horrible... just what are these horrible effects?

I can see how China is so much better off than the United States. The fact remains that the countries that have the most diversity are the ones that are most influential, namely the United States and France. Japan was created by the United States and is so overpopulate in the urban areas that it cannot afford to have a relatively loose immigration policy.

Not to mention that neither traditionalist Japan nor communist China would tolerate Dan's sexual orientation, yet he's busy admiring them.

That is irrelevant. I did not mean with regards to industrialization. I meant with regards to social problems.

Really... France is influential? I can see how successful France is society-wise, with the amount of stabbing Algerians do, and the amount of killing the Turks do in Germany and the Netherlands..... Besides, USA was on its way up long before there was any such thing as "diversity." The leader in word economy is Japan. Japan is not diverse.

Japan was created by the United States

Sure.. You know, I always wondered if they taught "delusion" at schools in USA. I guess they do...

Really... like Toronto, you mean?

Lower overall standard of living is a social problem

The U.S. is able to attract talent from overseas partly because pople know they can come live here and be tolarated. This starts from cab drivers all the way up to scientists. Japan runs an admitted 300% debt over GDP, which makes the U.S. defecit look like the penny jar at 7-11.

The Japanse constitution was written by Gen. Douglas MacArthur and his staff during the occupation of Japan after WWII. The majorty of the constitution has not been changed to this day. 70% of Japanese inferstructure was destroyed by the end of WWII. Some of which was rebuilt during the American occupation.

Really... like Toronto, you mean?

Toronto has half the population density as New York or LA. I established that to Baron when we were arguing about population density, between U.S. and Canada.
