Topic i originally posted on UK Debate 1, as the years have past since that post i see that my predictions have come true, at the time of my original posting i talked about those that did not wish to intergrate, with several ethnic community's refusing to intergrate, this has now grown to large towns, is it right that we should still invite those to our country that refuse to be part of the governments multicultreal society but choose those that are more compatible to Western living/ ideals and most of all, A Work Ethic, putting back into a system that has helped them... |

That's your interpretation of it, but as PV says, neither you nor anybody else has the right to go through life being unoffended. I find organisations like For Britain and the BNP offensive and contrary to the values of this country. Would you ban them? |

IMO females are on the point of gaining ascendancy in society, and unless males wake up to the advantages that females have, and begin to find ways of leveling the playing fields, they will get left behind. |

Yes that explains why women get paid more and occupy most of the top positions in our society. Oh no wait........ |

Head to toe in black cloth? Whilst the men aren't required to wear this. Whatever branch of religious instruction lead anyone to believe that its ok...... Its not ok because it means women are being treated differently........ and they are being treated as less. Doesn't that strike you as being a bit ...... unequal? |

Its not good enough to say "well women have chosen to do it" For many there are pressures from their family and/or husband ... and there isn't a free choice. |

Yes if they are promoting inequality ... that's not something that is ensconced in law. They need to adapt to the modern World........ or face the consequences.

And some non-muslim women dress conservatively not out of choice but because of pressure from controlling men. Shall we force all women to wear mini skirts? |

They are banned aren't they? Whatever, they are not very popular.... Too much prejudice for the stomach of ordinary British citizens. We can make this multiculturalism work ... but not by importing ideologies that don't fit our narrative. We should all be embracing what it is to live in a modern country...... and making sure we all get the rights and freedoms that we are entitled to.... and deserve. |

No they aren't banned and neither is Jacob Rees-Mogg who opposes gay marriage. If you criminalise everyone who opposes equality you are going to have to build a lot more prisons and it won't just be Muslims occupying them. Beware the law of unforseen consequences. |

No But we shouldn't allow them tax free charitable status, we shouldn't allow them to push their oppressive messages onto children, we shouldn't allow them to import priests and we shouldn't allow them stunning legal immunity when oppression is being applied But seems I'm going to be much shat upon man in the middle again as I also object to Jessamy's wish to oppress women by defining they mustn't wear too much. |

This is arguably the root cause of most if not all bigotry. But how do you police it? And who decides what is and isn't oppressive? Edited by Happy Hornet, May 7 2018, 08:43 AM.

Interesting points, but surely one could argue that about anything at all. Are racists that way because they were led to own the emotional beliefs that underpin racism? Are misogynists? Are psychiatrists? Are chronic underachievers? (Me for reference). You could argue we are all products of whatever upbringing it is we had; but the fact that so many people manage to break that mold implies that the influence is nowhere near absolute. Would the racist choose to be racist had he/she not been conditioned to be so? Well, the truth is; yes, some would willingly choose that. The same must also be true of wearing the burkha. But above all, we must accept that no one, ever, in the history of human kind has ever grown up and formed their world view in complete neutral isolation.

A very interesting post. It's true that people can and do form views that are very different to their parents, I'm sure we all know someone who compared to their mum or dad are like chalk and cheese. But as you say, nobody grows up in a vacuum, our views are shaped by our experiences, many of which are beyond our control. It's also often the case that ramming a certain viewpoint down a kid's throat can have the opposite of the desired effect and make the kid rebel against it. A mate of mine's mum sent him and his sister to Catholic school to immunise them against religion. It worked. |

If we want to live in a free and fair society ... (and that is one of the attractions of living here) we are going to have to call out those things that don't promote our values of equality ... however painful that may be. Its the way we maintain our standards and build on them to promote fairness to all our citizens. I'm obviously concerned about women's rights because it a concern I have encountered all my life.... other people may be concerned with disability, gay, racial or anything they can project an insight in to.... to shape perceptions and make it a fairer place. What worries me about this School........ is that in some countries the education of girls is seen as revolutionary and they should be encouraged but here........ all kids are offered a free education, designed and tested to make sure that they make the most of their lives in Britain.... regardless of gender. Its exactly what we want to promote ... we don't need anyone promoting something which is less equal.
Thats true.... So lets make sure that the influences are the right ones for this culture and society. The less differences we have the more comfortable we will feel with each other. |

My mother (one of four girls) ... didn't think she could be anything other than a housewife reliant on her husband for her life. I didn't have those perceptions..... and blazed a trail in our family. My daughters are living their lives to the full as well... and have great careers. |

I don't doubt that your motives are honourable, but you can't take away people's choices in the name of freedom. If you can ban this school, why can't I ban For Britain, the BNP or people like Rees-Mogg from political office? I could go on about prejudice me and family have experienced simply for being what we are, how I've had to defend my right to live in my own country my entire life. That doesn't give me the right to criminalise the people I was arguing with. If I have to accept people advocating inequality for me why can't you? |

And Rees-Mogg? Ban him and anyone else who opposes gay marriage from public office? I'll admit it's tempting, but it just makes them a martyr. Edited by Happy Hornet, May 7 2018, 10:55 AM.

True, but so were the suffragettes. Not that I would in any way compare the two. The way to beat them is to win the argument and prove them wrong, in the same way that you and your daughter's are proving the mysoginists wrong. |

Briefly; Humans are designed to learn fear. Unfortunately the fear we learn is held in a non-thinking non-logical area of the mind, and is sperate from the logical thinking memory area. That fear, especially if it is a high fear level, can be directed in various directions at a later stage such as racism, terrorism or into various criminal activity. Fear is learnt regardless of whether or not direct or indirect pressure is placed upon a child to become somethng in the early years. As you imply none of this is absolute. That is because each individual travels a sepparate path, no matter what the circumstances or the simmilarities to others during the early sensory learning years are. There are at least two reasons that I am aware of that can play a part in underachieving. Probably the easiest to understand is the DOB. Any child who is born in the June to August period will start school at a disadvantage. There are early developers and late developers, the late developer in that birth group will have an extra disadvantage. This could and will in some cases, have a negative affect on the self belief that opens the doors to achievement. Edited by C-too, May 7 2018, 07:14 PM.

I remember watching a documentary series last year about the SAS (Stay with me). Of the former members interviewed, most seem to have one thing in common, they were all written off academically at school. You don't pass SAS selection if you're thick, you have to demonstrate an ability to think your way out of difficult situations and since leaving the regiment several of them have gained degrees, Phd's and one is now a solicitor. It made me think of how many other bright kids have been left to slip through the cracks and what we can do to address it. |
