I'd argue this this is wrong. Nearly every culture in the world has been shaped and contains elements of other cultures. Certainly this is the case for the UK and the English language. You only need to look at English and British history to see if this is the case.

It's a two-way process. Immigrants usually adapt to the culture of their adopted country as much as they can, whilst often exposing the parent culture to native cultural practices which can often be very successful. 50 years ago few people in the UK had eaten a curry. with immigration from India, it brought along with it curry houses, Asian clothing, Bollywood films and other elements which have been accepted into mainstream British culture. At the same time, many Indian-descended people are often fiercely patriotic and live British culture to the fullest extent.

It's about attitude as much as anything. There will be those who view the parent culture as alien and those who choose to integrate. The reasons that people successfully integrate or not are varied.

So, what's your point? That allowing homosexuals to marry would somehow reduce the overall birthrate?

With abortion and contraception so readily available, it's pretty silly to say that homosexual unions would lower the birth rate, if that is what the person was saying. I didn't really bother to read the previous posts.

It's better than spewing a bunch of psuedointellectual cryptically homophobic garbage. Simply enough, there is no problem with homosexuality at all. It's an informed risk.

...Uh yeah. I guess it would be better than that. Its also better than cancer, while we're at it.

Also, nothing is problem-free, so lets not get on your soapbox about how open-minded you are. Discussions are meant to be a place for people discussing things. And seeing that the creator of the thread was a self-defined homosexual, I'm pretty sure he's alright with the premise. I can't imagine the thread was created as slander.

And what is an informed risk?
