:
Says the guy who holds a foreign passport and is a child of immigrants. Or are you also only talking about immigrants who look different?
I was more referring to the assimilation part of Havoc's views. Not total assimilation, mind. Of course, I wouldn't have them forget their origins - I absolutely love the multicultural society Sydney has going on, and for the record, was abhorred by the Cronulla riots. A balance between tolerance of the society immigrants are coming into, and tolerance on our behalf of where they have come from is crucial to keeping peace.

Much the same way I adhered to the customs of the places I visited. I whinged in London, was a bitch in Paris, and was (even more so) a drunkard in Dublin.

An example of taking things too far, is the introduction of Sharia courts in England. In my view, it's vile.
