this is the nature/nurture debate sociologists are arguing over
yes human behaviour is learned from our families and care givers bu there is also outside influences human behaviour is larned from a variety of factors and people behave in different ways depending who they are company to for example I wll not swear in front of my parents but have been known to cuss like a sailor wen wih frends

I like this answer, but could he have any less of a personality?

you talk of racism etc when the realy important issue has been ignored. sovereignty has been abolished and britain with it when the queen signed it away in Jan 2009. This clown is pulling the wool over all our eyes. when you all going to wake up.

The only thing communism has managed to achieve is make everyone poorer if they weren’t murdered first.

Wrong

Look at the prospectus of your local infant school. Throughout the UK, the sovereignty of parents is being removed & the state has begun to harvest children within the darkness of secretive family courts. A system that regards each child as a resource, the posession of the state, just as the state, has become the posession of the central & global banking cartels.
The slavery & dog eat dog (aka human eat human) world of busy-ness has enabled fictional entities called corporations to enslave.

why does this guy remind me of the g-man of half-life for?

David Miliband would make a brilliant PM!

cidseven, it sounds like you are talking about eugenics. If that’s the case, on what evidence are you basing your statement that societies that have embraced have prospered?

Crapulency February 18th, 2010 at 4:11 pm

In about twenty years time, he may just have become sufficiently mature to properly evaluate the mantra he has learned so well to regurgitate.

TheSmiterer February 18th, 2010 at 4:21 pm

This man is as creepy is hell. Its just a shame that he’ll be british prime minister in 8-10 years.

I remember when he was mouthing off to Putin, I’d like to see them both settle it in a back alley and see who is still mouthing off lol.

9/11 was a inside job

That’s never going to happen? It has happened. Infact, it happened in the soviet union. Genetic researched was banned by Trofim Lysenko because it conflicted with Communist theory.

Science has proven that mental disorders are biological, often genetic and often run in families.

Human behaviour is primarily rooted in biology, there is no scientific evidence to prove social determinism.

Societies that embrace this fact have historically prospered.

How do we retain or sovereignty if we cannot say “no” to the number of foreigners moving to the country, if we cannot make ethnic distinctions, and when we play second fiddle to a quasi-imperial EU parliament?

Furthermore, Why, under such circumstances, should sovereignty even matter?

“being able to evenly spread education and money to all.”

But didn’t you say that this welfare system had to be selective?

“That is something worth fighting for. ”

But I thought you wanted peace?

cidseven February 18th, 2010 at 5:53 pm

How will every country have something to offer? What will happen if a particular country or group of countries develope an almost late medieval idealist attitude and start focussing on becoming as economically, technologically and culturally self contained as possible? Historically this has worked very well…

So your way to avoid conflict is to “stop” people who do not want to lose their right to national self determination?

Isn’t that sorta… bullying?

cidseven February 18th, 2010 at 6:32 pm

But thats just it… who deserves it? and says who? and what happens to those who don’t?

The difference between red welfare and nsdap welfare is that the latter is selective…

It is completely within the nation states right, as a nation state, to deny a foreigner aid if it so chooses, regardless of the reasons.

Foreigners have died for britain, often because they were forced to by their British Imperial masters.

This fact is often overlooked on this particular issue.

BritishHeroGuy February 18th, 2010 at 7:24 pm

I like David Miliband :)

Like I said, ‘racist’ is a marxist word.

The British, traditionally, not only believed White people to be intellectually superior to other races, (this view seemed to be validated by their easy conquest of other races during their imperial expansion) but they also regarded other White nations in Europe to be inferior.

Where are you getting this idea from? British are traditionally elitist, militaristic and pro-venture capitalist.

It is basic history…

An interesting note, whethere you choose to believe it or not.

A friend of mine, a South Afircan, was telling me about his time in Rhodesia and mentioned, that there was a period where Blacks and Whites lived in relative harmony, though they were segregated.

I was surprised at first, but this ceased as I thought about the common accounts which came from the racially segregated confederate south and the black confederate soldiers.

He said communism is what destroyed it.

cidseven February 18th, 2010 at 10:03 pm

Continued.

The Nazis were not viewed as a threat due to their racial views, as similar things such as eugenics and racial segregation existed in numerous countries such as Britain, Switzerland, America etc.

Communism was actually seen as the bigger threat and the Nazis were actually praised by other countries for standing up to Communists.

Cecil Rhodes founded one of the most successful countries in Africa. Mugabe, a Communist, destroyed it…

cidseven February 18th, 2010 at 10:20 pm

I am sorry matthew but I am going to have to stop you there.

Racial segregation is not something exclusive to Whites, many races have implemented racial segregation.

White people ARE different, as people ARE different. That is a biological fact.

Furthermore White people are not the only people historically who have felt they are the best, the Chinese, Jews, Japanese, Arabs, Blacks to name a few, have all thought themselves to be better, and some still do.

The reality however is much more straight forward.

People flocked to cities for their goods and attractions. City living is tough, stuff is expensive and housing is usually smaller.

Not everyone wants to be super rich, some people are actually quite content with what they have and what they do. Furthermore they are quite happy for other people to do what they do.

They had a strong work ethic, they were patriotic and had self respect.

This class is now gone in the uk.

cidseven February 18th, 2010 at 11:12 pm

Continued.

The reason this idea so often goes over the head of the leftists, especially the marxists is because the top marxists and leftist politicians and ‘intellectuals’ IRONICALLY almost never even come from the working classes themselves.

They patronisingly extend the hand of “help” to the proletariat and in doing so indirectly mock them completely by implying that their lifestyle is so amazingly bad that it could (in their imaginations) only be the work of profound exploitation.
