You’ll get there eventually.

You're far too optimistic

Good point. Based on your usual show of limited brain capacity you probably won’t.

Perhaps you can explain the point you were failing to make?

That culture doesn't define nationality perhaps? A more interesting approach would be to discuss the pros and cons of differing cultures, no? Or whether successive governments are making allowances for the increasing population. Or whether inherent racism plays a part in dividing communities. Or whether secularism should become a constitutional issue.

She seems to have forgotten.

1. I would go further and say alleged culture doesn’t necessarily people who are, first and foremost, individuals. People want to ignore the diversity within groups of people

2. And any discussion of any cultures should be spearheaded by people actually familiar with those cultures. A lot of middle class white male commentators claiming to be experts of cultures they clearly know nothing about. So it becomes a lazy discussion (see point 1 again.)

What do you mean by secularism becoming a constitutional issue? Having a formal division between church and state? I look at the US and not sure that does much.

We're still waiting for an explanation of your comment about Leicester being in England.

“We”?

As I said you will get there eventually.


(I did not say “Leicester is in England”.)

[perrykneeham]

Yeah, "we". I think OOTLG would like to know too.

So, remind us, what was your point?

There is no “us”. I was not speaking to OneofThe.

You can figure it out yourself.

[perrykneeham]

Okay, never mind who else wants to hear your ridiculous attempt at making a Ln intelligent contribution. What was your point?
