Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

I believe in being exposed to everything I can be at least once. It does not mean I will embrace it all, but I crave knowldge. The more you know about the world around you, the more you are prepared for it. And one should be prepared. Globalism has brought a lot of money and technological and cultural advances to the world. It brought you Buddhism. It brought this conversation. It is inevitable. If you aren't prepared for it, you will fall behind the rest of us who are. Your negativity is a crutch.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Please knit your yogurts some place else mister. Globalization also is inevitably going to result in my country having half it's population believing they're in the 51st state of America and the other half demanding the United Kingdom is renamed the United Caliphate and forms the Eurabian Union with other sharia states in what used to be Europe.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Oh no! Not change! Not the inevitible. Keep fighting your battles. I'll keep considering you someone who will eventually get washed away with the tide. The world is much more beautiful than your closed eyes will see.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

Fighting against change is not wrong when the change is so clearly a negative one. Islamization and Americanization are two very hideous things. Islam and American culture do not belong on our soil. They can keep their sharia and you can keep your "black Friday" and all of that malarkey.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

But that's the thing: Not all Muslims support Sharia, and not all Americans support Black Friday. Not only that, but who are you to say which cultures are "wrong" or "negative", and which ones aren't? And who are you to deem which aspects of a specific culture are "wrong" or "negative", and which ones aren't?
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

The reality of the world around you is that you can no longer be isolationist, whether you want to be or not. So you can either rebel against the "foreign hordes", or you can embrace differences and treat them as actual people.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

I and many others will continue to rebel against the foreign hordes. We can always dream of Britain's glory days when foreigners were queer folk, far away from us, before they were other here demanding sharia law and talking in their native tongue in their masses everywhere as if we wont be offended.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

You mean the glory days, when Britain went out an immigrated to other countries forcefully, essentially enslaving them? You are WAY too easily offended, considering what you say about others.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

You do realize that Britain was one of the first Western country to stop slavery? As civilized people it was our duty to take over these barbaric lands and to try and teach the savages to live like decent human beings. For example in India the thuggee murderers where present, sacrificing people to the Goddess Kali. We put an end to that barbaric act.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Being one of the first countries to stop slavery does not somehow justify their occupations within Africa and India, but your comments on "civilized people" and "barbaric lands" just shows how little you have learned from your countries barbaric history of genocide and brutality. You consider yourself superior to non-whites, as your posts have indicated. "For example in India the thuggee murderers where present, sacrificing people to the Goddess Kali. We put an end to that barbaric act." Their kill-count is NOTHING compared to the amount the British killed during your occupation. That is a pathetic excuse.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

I do not think Britain is better than other countries based on skin colour. It is not at all about skin colour, if you had payed attention you would have realized.India was a shit hole when came into the picture. It was a decaying empire of foreign invaders with many tiny little states emerging. We unified it. We contributed much to India. For example they had no railways but we changed that. Furthermore they were clearly incapable of governing themselves because look at the anarchy they descended into in 1947 when we left. Even after the partition there has been so much tension in India like with the Sikhs and the Tamil tigers. Furthermore the thuggee murders were far different to the deaths we caused. Those deaths were no honorable deaths on a battle field. It was not war it was slaughter. Slaughter in the name of a backwards cult in a backwards country.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

"India was a shit hole when came into the picture. It was a decaying empire of foreign invaders with many tiny little states emerging. We unified it. We contributed much to India. For example they had no railways but we changed that. " Parts of India were impoverished, parts weren't. The railways you cite as benefiting India was created only via essentially slave labor and THOUSANDS of deaths. Hardly charitable. "Furthermore they were clearly incapable of governing themselves because look at the anarchy they descended into in 1947 when we left." So you are claiming that because Britain irresponsibly left a power vacuum, that means they weren't able to govern themselves? Can you please elaborate, because that does not make sense to me."Even after the partition there has been so much tension in India like with the Sikhs and the Tamil tigers. Furthermore the thuggee murders were far different to the deaths we caused. Those deaths were no honorable deaths on a battle field. It was not war it was slaughter. Slaughter in the name of a backwards cult in a backwards country." Yes, anywhere as big as India has a culture of ethnic and religious conflict. I don't understand how that supports your case. So you are saying that the significantly smaller number of deaths were unacceptable because they were not "honorable" (that's a bit of a joke), but the tens of thousands of deaths by British conquerors were acceptable because they were "honorable"? Seriously?And you realize they thought your country was backwards as well, right? That you are simply being an elitist, looking down upon other culture as not having any worth because they did not/do not adhere to your cultural norms? I mean your personal take on your culture includes justification for borderline genocide. That is incredibly backwards.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

"Everything else about Asia seems rancid to me." Are you really claiming that an ENTIRE continent, home to the majority of the human race, is "rancid to you", based on a mere 16 years of life experience?This, coming from the guy who claimed that "Asian food" is just "rice and noodles". And to think, you claimed you aren't prejudiced.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

OK maybe not the entire continent but a lot of it. Asia seems to be a continent of third world countries, poverty, Islamists, terrorists, yellow shirts and communists.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

First off, you just called the largest continent on earth a "country". Second, you just generalized the majority of the human species under overly-vague absurdities. Third, you clearly know next to nothing about Asia, seeing as how it is the most diverse continent on the face of the Earth.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Obviously I know that Asia is not a county and is a continent. When I am typing fast I tend to get words mixed up and type the wrong thing in the wrong place. For this I apologies.Furthermore I think I know quite a bit about Asia.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

"Furthermore I think I know quite a bit about Asia." Based on what? And if so, how can you justify saying that "Asian food" is just bland "rice and noodles"?
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

There are many takeaway and restaurant places in Britain due to the multiculturalism which I hate and I have had to eat their food, much to my displeasure on many an occasion. Every thing seems to come with rice or noodles. I hate it. Stir fry is just a load of noodles with the rare morsel of chicken and some bean sprouts and mangetout mixed in. Curries tend to be a small amount of meat, usually chicken; the most boring meat on a ridiculous amount of rice, covered in some disgusting sauce.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

EXACTLY what I am talking about. You have tried "take out" from a few local places, therefore you clearly know so much about Asia and its cuisine. How can you seriously think that is sufficient experience from which to judge a continent? I do not mean to be ageist when I say this, but for your sake, I truly hope you realize as you grow older that you do not (and, like most of us humans, will not ever) have enough experience from which to judge and generalize millions upon millions of people and their culture. I know we all feel like we know everything there is to know when we are in our teens, I know I sure did, but it is important to be open to this realization in the coming years.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Well if you're going to call me racist, I'm going to call you ageist.I'll have you know I know way more about the world, current events, history and geography etc then your average adult who can't even point to Asia on the map. Most adults don't know Islam from Sikhism, Hinduism from Jainism, the Burqa from the Niqab, gamelan music from Tibetan singing bowl music but I do.

We all feel that way when we are in our teens, but we have no means of knowing if that is true or not. And recognizing that individuals in their teens are more self-assured of their own intellect and experience is not ageist, though I have admitted one of my comments could be considered ageist.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

What country, if you do not mind me asking? And how do you wish to prevent that from happening?
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Now that I know you are referring to the United States, when you say "native culture" are you referring to the culture of the Native Americans? Because if so, multiculturalism is not what has eroded it, colonialism is. If you are not referring to Native American culture, then there really is no "Native culture", nor is there an "American culture" really, since our nation was founded upon (and then proceeded to be developed by) multiculturalism, all throughout our history.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

I'm not referring to the United States. I have no idea why you would assume that I was American. Even if I was America has no culture of it's own so I wouldn't have said that. I am from Britain which does have it's own culture that is being clearly destroyed by the arrival of foreign cultures that have been introduced through immigration and globalization.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

Well, can you tell me which countries you learnt about in history class? From what I can remember, in high school I studied Roman Britain, Norman Invasion, Tudors and Stuarts, the World Wars and the Cold War. The only time I remember studying foreign history was for my GCSE when we studied, as an option chosen by our teacher, the vietnam war and the great depression in the US.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

I'm doing GCSE History right now and only one of the four modules we are doing is on Britain. The others are Cold war, from the American and Soviet perspective not British, Germany 1918-1939 and the USA 1919-1941. History in the younger years is ethnocentric but GCSE History is the opposite really.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

You started school when you were 4 years old. That is 10 years of solely learning about British history. The fact your teacher chooses international options is not surprising. Presumably you knew the curriculum that you'd be following before you chose history as your option.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Yes but History never gets in-depth or interesting until you reach GCSE level anyway so it was 10 years wasted. There was so much of British history we skipped. Most of what we focused on was Royal History which is interesting but is hardly the hole picture regarding British history. We barely even touched on the British empire. Also now I remember we spent a lot of primary school learning foreign stuff and now we are in our GCSE years we are spending the best years of our School education on boring old foreign stuff.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Oh and here's another example of painfully politically correct multiculturalism in the education system. For our English Lit (at least for the exam board AQA) the novel our teachers choose for us to read have to be multicultural. The teachers have a choice in my school between some tedious American classic or some weird book about this weird Nigerian girl that no one's ever heard of. Even then half the short stories in are anthology for Lit are multicultural.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

Oh no, you have to learn about OTHER people! One of those inferior foreigners no less!
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

The problem is we only are learning about other people, not ourselves.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

That was my mistake, I mistook a response 11wolf made to me. My apologies. And how has British culture been "destroyed by the arrival of foreign cultures"?And globalization is changing the world. There really is no means of stopping it.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

We have open borders with Europe and have a lot of immigration from the poorer countries in Eastern Europe. According the the EU laws they have equal rights to people that live here. This usually doesn't cause a problem in most countries. However, in the UK you receive benefits without having paid any social security ever. So the problem is that there is an opportunity for people to immigrate and start claiming benefits. A lot of British people complain about this.. in reality though the majority of immigrants actually come to the UK to work rather than claim benefits.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

My objection to immigration has nothing to do with benefits. It has to do with the fact that I want Britain to stay as Britain. At the rate of immigration we're going at with us being the minority in our own country Britain may as well be called "India #2" or "Pakistan #2" or "Jamaica #2". They do not belong here. They belong in there own countries and now people with genuine British blood often seem to consider these foreigners as superior.None of the foreigners seem to have the manners to try and integrate into our society. They rudely form their own communities and keep themselves to themselves so therefore cannot contribute anything to the society.

Even without immigration we are adopting new cultures and ideas. Perhaps foreign imports should also be blocked? Foreign TV? Anything "anti-British"? But no, that's silly. Ultimately to deny something because it is different to what we are used to is simply not acceptable outside Nazi Germany.None of the foreigners seem to have the manners to try and integrate into our society.

There isn't even an argument.

Ultimately to deny something because it is different to what we are used to is simply not acceptable outside Nazi Germany.There's a difference between censoring anything from the world outside of Great Britain and allowing our great nation to degenerate into a cesspit filled with Islamist Pakistanis, pick pocketing Romanians and thuggish Slavic types. Many integrate - of course. Don't be ridiculous. There isn't even an argument.The majority don't. At my school the Nepalese kids keep to themselves and the Polish kids keep to themselves. They all hang out together, communicating in their own language as if they are still back home. If they feel only comfortable with their own people and want it to be like their home country then why on Earth don't they just go back the way they came? I am not at all being ridiculous in saying this. I'm sure you know very well they like to be with their own kind.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Wow, that's an impressive amount of racism you just managed in one sentence. And you wonder why members of other ethnicities keep to themselves.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

No you've got it wrong. They don't keep to themselves because we disparage them. Most of us only disparage them because they keep to themselves. If they did make an effort to integrate and didn't keep to themselves then we wouldn't disparage them in the first place. I am not racist. I do not dislike people of other races I just dislike the fact that foreigners are destroying the culture of my country and rudely make little effort to integrate.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

" Islamist Pakistanis, pick pocketing Romanians and thuggish Slavic types." No no, that is indeed racism right there. It is also a mindset that will actively prevent people from integrating as well. Cultural integration does not happen immediately, and when people such as yourself respond the way you are, it leads to an atmosphere where it does not happen at all. It takes a few generations for true cultural integration to occur, but you seem to want it to happen over night (sociologically speaking).
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

So why is it that you have such an issue with other cultures, exactly? I find myself wondering that while reading your posts.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

I don't have an issue with them. I just have an issue with them replacing my culture, which they are. I am not a racist. I do not inherently dislike people of other ethnicities. I just dislike the effect so many of them being here has.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

So that is why you said British culture is superior to all of the other cultures?
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

I think it is, yes. It is not the fact that I dislike the colour of their skin or their race. I just think our way of life and culture is better than theirs.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

And on what do you base this on? Remember, simply preferring a culture does not make it better.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: No

Because our culture has moved past Misogyny and Homophobia and other evil, outdated things. Whereas the backwards countries where many of these immigrants from haven't. The Muslims for example have no sense of animal rights due to the horrific halal killings they commit on animals. It is because of this I judge their cultures to be barbaric.Furthermore British food is so much better than Asian food. Asian food is shit like noodles that taste of nothing. As for African food most African countries don't seem to even have a notable cuisine. American food is just crappy fast food really. Italian food like Asian seems to based upon bland starchy carbohydrates.
Debate: Do you think that kids should learn about their own country instead of different countries
Side: Yes

Globally, British food is considered some of the most bland food in the world, while Asian food is considered some of the most flavorful. This is what I am talking about: You are used to your culture, so you declare it the best. You don't even seem to be familiar with the cultures you are talking about, just a few snippets of religions (Islam is not "Arabic Culture") and a shallow understanding of cuisine.
