    Yeah I really do hope people will hold their elected government official in charge to account. Agreed that just because the mayor thought it might seem Islamophobic he just brushed off the sexual assault incident and said kids will be kids, oopsie, fucking coward. Hope there is consequences and enforcement of rule of law.

    But I do not think it is an issue of assimilation, I am a minority in my own country with my own very rich and vibrant culture. I do not fucking need to assimilate and I will not be suppressed by the majority to assimilate. But I do believe you can criticise and condemn vile cultures and traditions, even my own is regularly criticised. Cultures with traditions like genital mutilation like circumcision or labia and clitoris removal of kids, if it’s not a medical requirement then leave the kids the fuck alone, don’t care if it is your culture, let them mature to a consenting age and then they can choose for themselves. Or suppression of women to below a man or as a sexual object, fuck of if your book says this person needs to be subjected by this person.

    But sorry I am ranting in a conservative group, I am libertarian leaning so I assume my views are not aligned with everyone’s here, but believe we can all talk common sense

      Also yes, I believe government should screen people. Sorry if you have a violent passed or it is shown that you as an individual would be a threat to the incoming country, that country should refuse entry. I do believe immigration can have a positive effect on a country, if you screen and take individuals that will prove to be a contributing member, contribute to taxes and not be a drain but a net benefit it can work very well.

      I think migrants have to assimilate to some degree. Not saying one needs to entirely change, but like if you come to America, you should learn to speak English, for example. But we will not fight you if you continue to eat Chinese food.

      So, not doing honor killings, for example, is a form of assimilation.
