thanks this is something I think about a lot. I didn't get too much out of it though, other than the greeks influencing the romans comparison.

well its an interesting topic, in essence he is saying white americans should not be worried about slowly becoming a minority and losing the essence of what made america great, because the superior will eventually dominate, just like greek culture won over roman culture, american culture (freedom and indivdualism) will win out over any culture that comes into the US because american culture is superior

he is basically responding to this school of thought The Hispanic Challenge - By Samuel P. Huntington | Foreign Policy

i agree with the the first guy but i kinda also agree with huntington in that bilingualism in the us is a bad thing, i think immigration is good but it has to be diverse immigration, it cant just be an influx of the same type of people

Only if they're not indoctrinated. Spread American culture around the world and immigrants become only a threat to race.

it depends on how you define it, but if its defined as freedom and individualism than american culture is better than other cultures

It's already a melting pot. I have no issue with that.
The longterm effects of more mass illegal immigration will hurt the country.

here we go....
Define american culture? Individualism and freedom?

GTFOH. We haven't had this dance in a long time. Your definition of "american culture" has always been some pie in the sky idealistic, unrealistic, "made for a tee-shirt" slogan.

For starters teh guy in your article is comparing changing opinion on from a geocentric to heliocentric like there was some "choice" in the matter. Facts dictated the change in this paradigm, not choice. People didn't decide "imply because" that they would believe the sun was the center of the universe, it became common knowledge. Yes it did effect some of the beliefs, but the illusion of choice is false in his example...just saying...

What's funny is he says, "It was greek ideas not culture" but then says, "It’s rational advocates—not numbers—that bring ideas into effect." really failing to admit that NUMBERS ARE RATIONAL.

He touts england's "freedom" during the 1820 but fails to mention slavery wasn't abolished until 1833.

I do agree that an attempt to limit immigration out of fear that it'll change is dumb. Change brings about good things when cultures collide...eventually. It's an evolutionary process of sorts, survival of the fittest (so i agree to a degree). I don't think it's "freedom and individuality" that define american culture, those two things exist in many, many parts of the world, even in those where we see a lot of immigrants migrating to the USA.
