Default ( OT)Was Kerry Military Records. Now diversity vs. conformity

There ya go again, you accuse me of arrogancy or lack of understanding, but
you yourself have not yet defined the word *diversity* nor have you
explained why it, in and of itself, is a good thing.


Actually, I did. Two posts back. The one you challenged in your rebuttal.

The fact that you do not agree with my opinion does not change the fact that
such an opinion was rendered.

Don't lose sight of the fact that this discussion revolves around "Is diversity
a good thing, or a bad thing?" Good and bad are subjective values. I might
think dark beer tastes "good", you might think it tastes "bad", but neither of
us will ever establish a truly objective proof to declare once and for all that
dark beer tastes "good" or dark beer tastes "bad".

In condemning diversity, you have offered examples of other countries that you
feel are less diverse than the US enjoying rapid industrial growth (from a zero
base). I read your post again, and again, but any specific representation of
the ill effects of a mixed race society with a wide variety of social
preferences upon the health and vitality of the US seems to be missing.

On balance, the position that remains underdeveloped is the statement that
diversity, in and of itself, is the single greatest factor threatening the
civil rights and liberties of all Americans. I'd like to hear more about
that......
