Read this well. We all die. Every 100 years or so, we all get replaced.

None of us actually "owns" land. You have a right to be on it while you're alive perhaps, as long as you keep paying property taxes, and follow whatever rules of that period.

Just because you were born in a country, does not make it "yours".

People get so wrapped up in the current events of things. Just relax and accept that you live in a changing world. Trying to hold on to yesterday is depressing, and often gets bloody.

I would bet that 99% of racist people in the USA who whine and moan about immigrants, black people, brown people, etc etc have never even had a bad experience with any of them. If they have, it was probably part and parcel of their slanted views.

The city where I grew up near Toronto was mostly white people when I was little. By the time I was in highschool, there was a huge mix of people from all over. Now the city's political system is 70% made up of east indian immigrants.

They realized quickly that if they wanted to have a say, they would have to do so properly through the right means. By running for politics, they were able to get the things they wanted.

I think it's great. I ate in one of their fine Indian restaurants today, it was delicious. I thank them for bringing their culture with them, and I'm happy we've grown enough as a society to not be scared of that.

I can't think of one political thing they wanted that bothered me whatsoever.

No lords prayer in school? Fine by me. What place does religion have in public school? They didn't ask us to say a Hindu, Sikh or Muslim prayer either.

Wearing a turban instead of a police hat? A sikh not being forced to cut his hair - because the other officers can't have long hair?

Conservative nonsense. The man wants to be a police officer, respect him for his duty. He wears his turban with pride, and affixes a police badge to it just like any other police hat.
I agree Socks. Well said!
