Racism, Riots, Entitlements - What Is Wrong With Western Civilization? The Answers Are Simple

Racial Tension, Racism, U.K. Riots, Entitlements; What is wrong with western civilization? The answers are simple and they are here for you to read.

It isn't the fault of one race or another. It is the fault of the governments and media who have been telling them every day for more than 50 years that they're all supposed to live together in harmony. Different races and cultures traditionally had their own countries so they could live their lives freely without worrying about accommodating or offending every other race and culture in the world. One government or one set of rules cannot be made to effectively represent the wants and needs of all races and cultures at the same time. There are several glaring examples in history to corroborate this such as the failure of the League of Nations, the U.N., and internal social/economic policies of the U.S., Europe, etc.

Political correctness is completely detached from natural laws, common sense, and human nature. Anyone, who dares to raise an opposing point of view, if only to point out that their methods haven't worked at all, is immediately branded a racist. "Racist", now being the dirtiest word in the English language, is (almost) justification for the even the most brazen to flee from that accusation. The definition of racist is one who believes that the various races of this planet are different from each other (I believe we call that "diversity") and a belief that your "team" (or race) is the best. That is all consistent with human nature, not hate. Hate however is a common manifestation of multiple races being integrated by force of law while being told it is natural and serendipitous. The aspects of human nature which motivate us to segregate ourselves racially and culturally are mechanisms to promote the survival and longevity of the group. If that type of "instinctive" behavior did not exist among humans, I would venture to say that we would have all merged into one mixed race millennia ago.

Let's acknowledge something else weighing on race relations in historically white countries; the whites want and deserve their own countries as much as any other race and the white's countries, cultures, and ways of life are the only ones that are vanishing. People need to wake up and reject once and for all the failed policies based on liberal utopian fantasies. Their philosophies are flawed and this should at long last be obvious to all after more than a half century of consistent and complete failure of liberal social and economic policies.

Liberal policies have failed so miserably in part because some of the central tenets of liberal philosophy are fallacies. For instance their policies are built on the assumption that the only characteristic differences separating all of the various races and cultures on Earth are purely cosmetic in nature (i.e. like makeup). To assert that values, priorities, attitudes, and attributes do not vary from race to race is ludicrous. The differences among races and cultures are part of what makes the world go around.

Western states hint at support for easing Burma sanctions - Telegraph.co.uk


After spending 15 of the last 20 years in confinement Mrs Suu Kyi, the Nobel peace laureate and democracy advocate, acknowledged that her release marked a potential moment of great change in the stand-off between Burma/Myanmar and the West. The freeze in relations has seen the former British colony grow increasing reliant on China.

Kevin Rudd, the Australian foreign minister and former prime minister, has told Mrs Suu Kyi that "reliable" friends were ready to be flexible on sanctions if she could make headway on domestic reform with the generals that run the country.

Mrs Suu Kyi used her second full day of freedom to indicate that her position on Burma's international isolation had undergone changes from the view that the military regime could only be overthrown by sanctions and isolation. "I don't want to see the military falling. I want to see the military rising to dignified heights of professionalism and true patriotism," she told the BBC. "I think it's quite obvious what the people want: the people just want better lives based on security and on freedom."

International sanctions mostly target regime figures – banning travel, financial transactions and business dealing – and many Western countries have imposed an arms embargo on the regime.

As recently as last Thursday, the EU added judges responsible for sentencing Mrs Suu Kyi to the visa ban list and President Barack Obama of the US renewed sanctions in May.

However Senator Jim Webb, a prominent supporter of President Obama, has warned that sanctions and Western business boycotts had rendered Burma as little more than a "province" of China. And the sanctions were already deeply unpopular within Asia, including among intellectual opinion. Jose Ramos Horta, the president of East Timor and a fellow winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, hit out at the isolation of Burma as not "morally good". "I'm very happy with the release of Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest after more than 15 years without reason," he said. "I see it as something good and I congratulate the military regime in Myanmar for handling this," he said.

"I'm also waiting and hoping for two blocs, namely America and Europe, which have been applying harsh sanctions against Myanmar, to lift them."

Derek Tonkin, a former British ambassador in Bangkok, said: "Suu Kyi's reappearance is something that will be utilised at a time when the US and EU are looking for some kind of engagement. There are areas where she can play a considerable role. Suu Kyi could hold consultations with diplomats, even if the regime isn't prepared to talk to them at this stage. There are things she can do with the West that they can't do with the regime."

Deadly Tsunami Hits Islands in Western Indonesia - Voice of America


Sara Schonhardt | Jakarta 26 October 2010

Twenty-three people are confirmed dead and more than 150 are missing after the tsunami struck a remote area in western Indonesia, according to reports that began to trickle in on Tuesday hours after  a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck the country late Monday night.

The earthquake caused huge waves of up to to three meters high which slammed into the Mentawai islands, about 280 kilometers off western Sumatra. There are reports that hundreds of homes on the islands were damaged by the quake or the waves.

The government is getting aid to the islcands, says Wisnu Wijaya, the preparedness director with the National Disaster Management Agency.

"We already sent a rapid response team to this area, coordinated by the provincial government. We have local disaster management at Padang, because right now the condition of the wave is quite high,"  Wijaya says.

High waves and stormy weather have made it difficult to reach the affected areas. Communication is also a problem.  Wijaya says emergency shelters have been set up and the first team from Sumatra was arriving Tuesday evening to begin a rapid assessment of the aid that was needed.

The quake could be felt as far away as Singapore.

It sent tsunami warning systems into action along Sumatra's western coast.  It is the latest in a line of natural disasters to hit the area, but Wijaya says, for now, the damage is manageable.

"I think we still can manage this problem. Maybe also we'll send staff to go there and make a better coordination," Wijaya says. "If they need national resources to deploy there, we'll be ready to support local government."

Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area prone to seismic shifts that spark earthquakes and volcanic activity. A massive earthquake in 2004 generated a monster wave that killed more than 230,000 people across the Indian Ocean.

After that disaster, Indonesia worked to establish early warning systems and disaster management programs to help deal with future quakes.

Indonesian authorities also continue to evacuate communities around Mount Merapi, a volcano on Java island that threatens to erupt soon. Disaster officials warn a massive lava dome that has formed near the mouth of the volcano could give way quickly in a large eruption.
