Out of touch with culture?

I believe that we, as a people, became too postmodern. Other cultures here are fine, but in the past they had to integrate into the native culture. Diversity, on the other hand, made us dog-eat-dog. No other culture is made to integrate. Which leads to societal collapse.

The USA is a classic case of many cultures coming together and not being forced to integrate to any standards (at least originally). They became incredibly strong off the back of it while many cultures maintained chunks of their own identity.

This seems to have swung to an extreme now and there appears to be a push to purge any non white, non approved cultures from the country and this is leading to tremendous strife.

In Europe it seems we have passed the point of no return with other cultures flowing into ours, and since the days of the empire there have been sizable numbers arriving and doing their own thing.

Some don't choose to integrate much. The Hassidic Jews keep to their own areas in London by and large but are not an issue to anyone. Indian, Pakistani and Banglideshi have formed sizable enclaves around the country but many have integrated well while still keeping areas that are very much of their own culture.

You just need to travel around London to find populations from the Carribean, assorted Far Eastern countries etc who keep much of the essence of their cultures while integrating for all essential purposes.

I even found an enclave of Brazilians in Shoreditch when I was there who kept apart from the Brits as they find our culture very bland and many of us to be rude. Talking to them about their experiences I have to agree with them.

I'm sure when the Normans invaded in 1066 there was little cultural integration, or when the Romans arrived or any number of historical inflows of peoples. Over time this sorts itself out and we, as a society, evolve. It is how society has always worked.

Can we really say that the old culture was really that good? 

All I'm saying is that people who come here should respect our ways, and lifestyle. Rather than today, where Sex Offenders don't face the Consequences of their Actions, due to their Skin Colour.

Two Wrongs don't make a Right. We need Social cohesion, rather than 'Do What You Feel Like'.

Most Paedos in the Church WERE prosecuted. The Church was only worried about Libel cases, against them. Though, in fairness, Paedos in the BBC and in The House of Commons escaped Justice.

Culture is only tolerated if that Culture respects the laws, and practices, of the local people. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Those who leave here, for America, don't bring our ways over there because they respect the ways of the host nation. Do we expect Americans to honour our Royals? No.
