Multiculturalism is an 'utter failure'

What if I mow my lawn, am I somehow pressuring others to mow their lawns also because they see me mowing my lawn?



Does something with religious orientation automatically make it imposing a belief?

That statement right there is a fallacy in and of itself. Try and spot it.

If no one ever tries to convince anyone else about anything, nothing in the world would ever get done.
There is something called the trap of tolerance. Its the biggest fallacy of modern society. This makes it impossible for anyone to be decided about any issue.



Let us take an instance where someone actually is purposely trying to impose their ideas. Look at every single advertisement for a product on every single billboard, sign, TV commercial, internet AD, etc. They are trying to impose their ideas on you but no one seems to raise any issues about it. In your lifespan, you will see on average perhaps a billion advertisements.


Quite subliminal isn't it?

There is a difference between trying to convince someone and showing respect while trying to convince someone.

This is all hypothetical thinking in the end, I accept the tolerance logical fallacy though. In the end biology answers everything, of course you're not pressuring people to mow their lawns if you mow yours. Homogenous societies support civilized homeostasis, that's what we all look for in society when you come down to the crux of it. Guess what breaks society out of homeostasis..... uh oh.

I challange someone, anyone, to lay down a full argument for multiculturalism and then see if those who don't support multiculturalism (including me) can't defeat that argument. Times a wasting.
