and why is that cool?

[averros.livejournal.com]

It's not cool at all. The sad reality is, in 40 or so years French will be an ethnic minority in France.

what about Amishes? will they be an ethnic majority in the US?

[averros.livejournal.com]

No, but they aren't going to lose their country to Muslims, either.

[scriptum.livejournal.com]

sorry, you lost me. is it good or bad?

[averros.livejournal.com]

Depends on your preferences, I guess. If you like being a dhimmi, well, then, you may like having Muslims in majority.

[scriptum.livejournal.com]

this does not make any sense either: my preference has got nothing to do with this

[averros.livejournal.com]

"Good" and "bad" are always subjective. So you can only say what is good or bad for you; when you are talking about goodness or badness for other people, you are making presumptions regarding their state of mind.

Some people actually like to be slaves. Who am I to say that this is bad for them?

your first and last assertions are contradictory, so I propose to call it a day.
