Thread Name: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Ruth - as I've said before, you're someone who doesn't like immigration being questioned, so you try and label anyone who does as a bigot or a racist. And, when they give genuine non-racist reasons for doing so, you talk about what's underlying. Further, if you scroll back, this topic came up again when I frankly answered a question on it again, and my responses are somewhat repetative because the questions/accusations are.
Perhaps everyone who has posted here AGREES on liking our world being multicultural - the dispute is over whether trying to have a multiple number of cultures living under the one state law is a good idea, and whether immigration should be more restricted/regulated (I've said via a stronger UN). My concerns are certainly not just over England, by the way, I genuinely don't like moneyed English, Germans, etc. pricing young Spanish couples out of the Spanish property market - and, if I VISIT Spain again as a respectful TOURIST, I'd like another taste of SPANISH culture whilst there, frankly.
"believes that music has border checkpoints"...I believe, IE, there is more-and-more blending of cultures, globalisation, Americanisation; and, as I do like our world being multicultural, I'm at least trying to do something about it - as 50s and 60s folk-club organisers here did when they encouraged/insisted on folks performing music from their own culture.
