Multicultural versus monocultural societies and countries

[Furunculus]

Multiculturalism doesnt work, that's why the USA is such a backwater

isn't america working the melting pot model?

again, i ask if we are discussing multiculturalism in the descriptive or the normative sense...

Tell you what, I wouldn't mind state-imposed monoculture if the culture we use is humanist secularism a la France. Logical argument behind it, coherent and consistent application without favouring any other culture, and it disarms most of the more harmful aspects of religion. However, if anyone tries to argue monoculture on the basis of Christianity, I'll cry BS. The basic philosophical aspects of Christianity can work as well in a secular system as any other culture, and its pseudo-philosophical origins should mean it should function better in such a system. However, the religious aspects can go jump in the sea, like all the other religions.

You might want to read the fine print on Christianity. Apparently they can't jump in the sea only walk on it...
