"This looks like another thread that went down the crapper. Nice job by our friends on the other side of the pond.

People do not lose their culture, culture evolves."

Ron, it's a thread that started in the crapper. Most contributors (from this side of the pond - away wi' yer pondism!) are making entirely the same point as you, because they're embarassed to see someone with confused and repugnant views claiming to speak for them and their culture (or at least the part of it he believes is 'pure' enough. Don't get me started on the myth of cultural purity, though).

I agree entirely with what Sedayne has said. And if Ruth is a 'troll', I'm a goblin.
