Monoculturalism?

Paul Sheehan writes Michael Kennedy believes young Lebanese men have been radicalised, and young police officers sacrificed, by an inept political and legal class." "They react with emotion. Violent emotion. You've seen the funerals in the Middle East where people are tearing their hair out. There is also the mentality you see in prison, where any failure to retaliate, immediately, and with violence, will mark you as weak, and therefore vulnerable. This is the logic of the street, not society, and they have completely insulated themselves from society."
"Many went straight onto social security and a culture of welfare dependence became entrenched. The government later introduced year 12 as a requirement for apprenticeships, when a lot of these new arrivals wanted to leave school in year 10."

So what life is tough. My late father, Australian born, into poverty, no welfare for him, of Irish parents. He was discriminated against by the then in power but kept quiet and got on with his life. He was a good father and gave his family a good life and a good home. He had many friends from many different backgrounds, before the current multicultural regime made it fashionable. Too much silly talk today about so called poor people. They should just get on with their lives and stop complaining.
