Olympic Conclusions

What's wrong with polygamy? Multiple mother in laws!

[size=1em]To point out our differences as this current obsession with celebrating diversity does, is to divide into segments rather than unite as a whole.[/size]

As one friend put it to me.  I'll be happy when the day comes that I'm just Scottish, not an Asian Scot, or Scottish Muslim, just Scottish.  But we still have a long way to go Rusty.[/size]

[size=1em]Indeed... on both sides. But you get what I'm driving at don't you, and we can't get there unless we are all part of the whole. All this talk of celebrating one set over another or focussing attention to this or that just perpetuates the differences, it's time we dropped it. I look at America and see the greatest amount of ethnic diversity on earth, yet when the band plays they all are proud to be an 'American'.[/size]

[size=1em]Britain has an established culture, and similarly all are invited to share in it and be proud of it. I don't believe there is anything Bnp or Edl in those sentiments, nor would I wish them to be construed in that way. As for the Olympics, I see it as a gathering of noble athletes that all do their countries proud, unfortunately for many (Britain included) the governments and leaders of those respective nations don't deserve such accolades themselves.[/size]
