New study: California is the most diverse state in the union...CA ranks last in quality of life.

[Correll]

No, that is not what I am saying.

Then what was the point of your link?

Having a close knit community has real benefits to the people in it. Having a diverse community, loses those benefits.


Thus your rejection of the idea, and your race baiting, is refuted.

You know, a ship that is crewed by 300 people or less is quite a close knit community. We looked out for each other, and defended each other, because we all knew that our collective asses depended on teamwork to keep the ship operating.

And yeah, out of those close knit communities, there was quite a bit of diversity, but that is one of the things that made the crew fun and unique. Some were musicians, some were DJ's, and some like myself, were artists. If we had a command function, a lot of times we would ask some of the crew members if they would play. And, whenever it came to painting the squadron or ship's logo on something, quite often they came to me. It was because of the diversity of the crew that we had such a vast amount of experience to draw on.

So then, why the fear of looking at the numbers on California? As diverse as it is, and with you guys so certain that diversity is a good thing, then why spending so much time NOT focusing on those numbers to prove your point with hard data?


Man, it's almost like you don't really think that would work out for you...

What is wrong with Cali? It is a great place to visit and to all the people I know that live there it is a great place to live.

The op opened with a list of what is wrong with it. YOu've spent 18 pages running from talking about the results of the diversity that you are so sure has good results.

Diversity doesn't mean a free society or a decent standard of living.
Diversity is just another form of fascism.

Wow...............you really don't know what words mean, do you? Here, let me help you out.........................

diversity
[ dih-vur-si-tee, dahy- ]

fascism
[ fash-iz-uh m ]
|
SEE MORE SYNONYMS FOR fascism ON THESAURUS.COM
noun
1. (sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
2. (sometimes initial capital letter) the philosophy, principles, or methods of fascism.
3. (initial capital letter) a political movement that employs the principles and methods of fascism, especially the one established by Mussolini in Italy 1922–43.



So, as you can clearly see from the dictionary definitions, fascism and diversity are actually at opposite ends of the spectrum. Fascism by it's very definition is anti diversity.

Look at that. The definition of fascism is almost Word for Word the republican party platform. Who would’ve thunk it?

Proof that the conservatives don't pay attention to words or what they mean. They just figure out the scariest sounding words and use them against whoever they are currently opposing.

Never been to Fiesta? Missing out, dude.

You ever been part of a homogeneous community? Maybe you are the one missing out.

You know, growing up in Montana, most communities up there were pretty homogeneous. Didn't go to school with a black person until I was a senior in high school.

And, I learned about diversity 3 days after I turned 18 and was sitting in Orlando FL, getting ready to start boot camp.

I prefer a diverse community.

Why? Because in a diverse community, there are many different experience levels and things that various people know. Some, might know things that I don't, but would be very useful if I learned them as well. And, some of that information isn't readily available in some of the homogeneous communities where everyone experiences pretty much the same thing, and nobody has much new to share.

I was the same way growing up in Kansas, but I was lucky and my family moved when I was in the 3rd grade so I did not have to wait as long to find out people that look differently than I do are not really all that scary

Thus your rejection of the idea, and your race baiting, is refuted.

Diversity does not have anything to do with being close knit.

People of diverse races and backgrounds can still be close knit...it happens all the time for non-racist, which is why you have never experienced it.

And the effects can be very subtle and surprising.

Thus, your claim that any list doesn't have anything to do with "skin color", is just you making assumptions about possible connections that you know nothing of.


YOur race baiting was already noted and held against you. You took that hit already. You don't need to keep drawing attention to it.

My claim that any list doesn't have anything to do with "skin color" is 100% accurate till such time as you give examples otherwise.

The bigger question is why do you think that diverse people cannot be close knit? Have you ever heard of the military?

Yet your first impulse is to undermine the very idea of looking at the results of diversity, in quality of life...

Feel free to show us which of the measures used are affected by skin color. Why do you keep dancing around instead of doing that?

Diversity is not limited to skin color. Save your race baiting for the tourist.

Last year in the Tri-counties we experienced 315 days of 72+ degree weather. So nice.

The OP gave a link to a subjective report about the quality of life ranking of Cali that did not even turn out to be correct when you went to the actual source of the state rankings. He listed nothing, just gave a couple links.

Give an example of a problem that your diverse community could solve, but your homogeneous one could not.

My hometown now has 4% black people, that is about a 300% change from when I was a kid! Times they are a changing!

 

[toobfreak]

Coincidence? I think not.
Don’t some of the least diverse states offer the best quality of life?
Politicians are you listening? You have been fucking Americans over with your “we are better as a diverse nation”....”sanctuary for illegals benefits Americans” bunch of bullshit. It’s time you pieces of shits do what’s best for Americans.
2019’s Most & Least Diverse States in America
California ranks last in quality of life in new report

California: model for the Liberal Fail. Doesn't work for nobody except their Elite.

The fact that California HAS an Elite is the blueprint for their agenda!

• Gravy for them.
• All the rest are lowly Surfs.

That is what we have been talking about. I am still waiting for you to tell us what is so terrible about Cali. My FIL moved there from the upper mid-west when he retired and he loved the shit out of the state, was there till the day he died. Had no desire to even go visit other states, we had to come to him!
