* The issue of open borders and immigration is only one of many symptoms of the disease of moral and cultural relativism that threatens the continued existence of Western civilization. I’m not optimistic regarding the outcome. What are the chances for survival of a country or a civilization that religiously believes:
1. There are no differences between men and women. There are also no differences between adults and children (other than the former are usually taller than the latter).
2. There are no differences among religions … especially, Christianity and Islam.
3. All cultures are created equal, just as all people are created equal.
4. Both people and capital should flow freely across what used to be called borders; in short, there are no such things as nations as we used to understand them.
This includes the right of 5.9 billion people living in underdeveloped countries to migrate to developed countries. Once there, it is the obligation of the developed countries to provide social welfare and social services to the immigrants until cultural, religious, language, and literacy and other educational issues can be overcome (reading Arabic characters right-to-left and then trying to learn reading Latin characters left-to-right has proved exceptionally difficult). Other difficulties in dealing with massive Chinese and other Asian immigration have yet to be addressed; that is, how to deal with immigrants who only know tonal-based languages and symbol-based writing systems.
5. In the name of equality, religious freedom, and respect for different cultures, allowances must be made in the developed countries for cultural piccadellos such as polygamy, pedofilia, female circumcisum, and the suppresion of female rights. This includes making allowance for dressing all females older than 5-years of age in black bags with eye slits whenever they are in public. In the name of tolerance, the age-old practice of Hindi women immolating themselves on the funeral pyres of their dead husbands is under review. Honor killings are next in the queue for a sympathetic review.
6. In the name of personal liberty and diversity, there are absolutely no elements of social deviancy in the social and sexual practices of the LGBTS&M … xyz communities. In the interest of justice, they will be treated on par with the myriad immigrant cultures. Indeed, it is the traditional family and its absurd assumptions about restrictive, gender-based social roles that is in need of intervention as anti-social behavior, given how hostile its adherents are toward cultural, religious, social, sexual, and moral diversity.
