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.
How is this a response to what I said? You said I was wrong then immediately talked about how cultures evolve.

I can see you're currently banned, but I do hope you return to answer this:

How doesn't Homosexuality benefit society when we currently sit on the brink of over-population. Statistically, children are a drain on resources universally.
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 also silly bearing in mind that homosexuals make up a negligible (something like 1-2 percent) proportion of the population. Surely these kind of small numbers wouldn't actually have any effect on overall population?

We really can close this thread now. Lets ****ing vote Ska Lagos Jew as President of Brains.
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?

So whats the problem with homosexuality if nothing is problem free?

No. His point was that even if it did reduce the overall birth rate, reducing the birth rate wouldn't be the worse thing in the world.

Depends where you're coming from.

If you're looking to populate an area, then theres the issue of it not bearing children.

Don't go for the easy targets though. I personally have no problem with homosexuality. I'm just telling Ska Lagos that he's attempting to shut down intellectual discussion with his unwavering assertions. People should be allowed to have their opinions and express them in a civilized forum.

The minute you pounce on someone because you want to show everyone you're an open-minded freedom fighter you begin to lose the argument. If you have strength in your conviction that what you're doing is right, then don't worry what other people think. Win on merit, not through subjugation through fear that someone might be labeled a bigot or homophone.

As for Hip Hop Bunny, Marriage had nothing to do with it. However, heterosexual marriage increases the birthrate. So by your own logic, Heterosexual marriage is a determent to society.
