Immigration and minorities

Post #1

Post by Cewakiyelo »

Here are a couple of interesting things I was given to review and I thought they were good enough to pass along so I am passing them along. Please feel free to comment on these two items if you wish.

Authorship unknown.
On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:

"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.
This next item is a video by Ray Stevens it is a laugh yourself out of your seat lyrical commentary on the U.S. policy concerning immigration. It is to funny and sadly to true.

OK when did the flood happen?
I don't know, and why do you care?
Because according to the chronology of your book the chronology of your claim regarding the migration of native americans is impossible.
No it isn't.
Your claim that migrating from one country in the british empire to another country in the british empire is not actually migration is at best specious and probably just plain stupid.
Because a fact never occurred to you doesn't make it specious. Answer my question, if someone moves from CA to NY are they an immigrant?
From which country 16,500yrs ago did the native americans migrate?
Read the Wikipedia link, from Siberia.
Is it possible for a person living in a 21st century, first world country to not know the definition of the word immigrant? You know where wiki is, ask the question. Your CA to NY question is beneath any dignified response and incivility is frowned upon. Being an american with a more than limited understanding of what immigration is, you have no understanding of what moving from one country of the british commonwealth to a different country of the british commonwealth is. It's emigration from the country of origin and immigration to the country of destination. Look to wiki for some help with that too.
According to the article quoted, the original natives of the americas probably originated in an area currently described as "Beringia", a name first coined in 1937. It was at that time (16,500yrs ago) a landbridge between europe and the nth american continent, hence gographically a part of nth america. Do you believe that this movement from "beringia" to the rest of the americas took place 16,500yrs ago? The article quoted does not describe it as siberia. If you are going to use evidence to support your arguments it's usually a good idea to read and understand that evidence first.

So what if it is the same country, as in my question to you you refused to answer?

You're playing word games, yo asked what country they came from, when obviously it was't a country then and even today Siberia isn't a country. Are you seriously unaware of the prevailing consensus theory of how native Americans got here?
"We are fooling ourselves if we imagine that we can ever make the authentic Gospel popular......it is too simple in an age of rationalism; too narrow in an age of pluralism; too humiliating in an age of self-confidence; too demanding in an age of permissiveness; and too unpatriotic in an age of blind nationalism." Rev. John R.W. Stott, CBE

I'm glad you don't limit the nonexistent that you see to the supernatural, it goes some way to explaining.

Lets immigrate from this country to oh the same country. At least read what I told you about what migration is in modern human terms. Or are you going to make the claim that the first white settlers migrated from England across the atlantic to England? What sort of nonsense do theists need to espouse when their arguments are defeated and their arguments also conflict with their religious beliefs. When was Adam created? Before or after the transfer or the migration of americans from one part of america to another part?

Oh well done and they didn't come from siberia as the article and I have told you, so what ludicrous point are you attempting to make? BTW they migrated 10,500yrs before creation according to your bible.
I'll tell you everything I've learned...................
