MODERN HERESY: DIVERSITY CAUSES CONFLICT

The existence of “race” has been questioned, - yet the existence of ETHNIC DIVERSITY is undisputed.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0125073157.htm

"We found an enormous amount of diversity within and between the African populations, and we found much less diversity in non-African populations,"

Africa has always been a war-ravaged continent. Can there ever be peace in Africa?

Study paints bleak picture of ethnic diversity.
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/c4ac4a74-570...0779e2340.html
“His [Harvard Professor Robert Putnam’s] research shows that the more diverse a community is, the less likely its inhabitants are to trust anyone – from their next-door neighbour to the mayor.”

So perhaps the question should be: Can there ever be peace anywhere ever again, thanks to immigration? And: how long until we have the same violence and corruption over the whole world?

Discrimination and Ethnic Nepotism http://conservationfinance.wordpress...hnic-nepotism/
“We all discriminate all the time.”
“An abundance of research has shown that people tend to give preferential treatment to others who are genetically similar to themselves, whether they’re actual blood relatives or simply share an ethnic background.”

How well we treat others depends upon how much such behavior benefits copies of our genes .
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/altruism-biological/
“Kin selection theory predicts that animals are more likely to behave altruistically towards their relatives than towards unrelated members of their species.”
Science agrees: “The importance of kinship for the evolution of altruism is very widely accepted today, on both theoretical and empirical grounds.”

We should not fight nature or try to change nature. The more homogeneous a society is the more peaceful it is. History proves this time and time again, yet this is a modern heresy.

The consequences of not facing these facts can only be catastrophic.

The person I got this from, said I could reproduce it, so I did.

some interesting theories there will have to read and digest before I post on this one

[Bruv]

The biggest heresy is the statement...

"Africa has always been a war-ravaged continent.Can there ever be peace in Africa?"

Europe gave us two world wars, and since then there has not been a moments peace within European borders, and many conflicts elsewhere in the world have been European/Western led.

European conficts

African Conflicts

actually, during the Second World war, it wasnt just "gave" by Europe, lets not forget those other major instigators, the Japanese............

Im no historian, but the European war would have happened with or without the Japanese getting in on the act.
Were there not two different conflicts that became interwoven ?

war in china started before war in europe (37), the jap's rapped & bayoneted their way across most of south east asia in a manner which made the SS look like a girl guide group

Yes almost like two different wars going on at the same time NT they even had separate endings VE day and some time after VJ day.
But if your talking about waring tribes I think you must include the whole world.
Asia has does a fair amount of waring. Unrest in India, Pak istan, Bangladesh, Cashmere, Srilanka to name but a few.
why cant I type ****stan, there is nothing obscene there it isn't like my home town of S****horpe.
Is **** banned when part of the country.

Fucking bollox. Look at your own link.

What has happened since 1945?

Chechna, EUROPE????

"Cod wars"?

Do us a bloody favour, who got killed? How many times did Iceland bomb Inverness? How many Icelandic subs were sunk by British battle ships?

How many Icelandic Government ministers were hung as war criminals?

THAT, Bruv, is called "Grasping at (VERY THIN) straws".

Strange your list does not mention Bosnia though.

Or was that O.K because it was just an "internal snit"?

It still hardly means "there has not been a moments peace within European borders", now, does it?
