^ James, I think the point they were talking about is if multiculturism is beneficial to a country.
You can use the point you made, but tie that in with the "point".
As for me, I don't feel like reading all the walls of text in this thread, so I can't make a valid response.

Thanks for the link Poketrance. Altough it makes me wonder how different things are in Holland. The only comparison we have here is the BNP who are generally racist through and through creating riots and such. People you wouldn't want to support.
A/n the conversation wasn't about 'only' Multiculturism as we have covered several other topics, another reason why I liked this 'debate' but all in all we generally covered things from a European view point.
Now we need a closing statement that sounds right for the argument.
a/n Poketrance Would this be an adiquate time in which the EU argument should be made?

Sorry for the late reply, but I wasn't able to spend much time on forums lately. === BNP = British Nationalist Party or something? Seem to be extreme-nationalists then. Well, I can assure you, here in Holland is nationalism considered extremely dangerous, so basically no political party supports nationalist feelings or something. It is true that here in Holland we too have some hardcore nationalists, but these groups are very small and have no influence at all. (most of the time, when they are protesting and demonstrating, leftist anti-fascist groups show up to beat them...) The videos you've seen only show that we here in Holland were deeply impressed by the way one man could change the political climate and finally open the discussion about multiculturalism in a, lets call it 'civilised', manner. And yes, it was a very good 'debate', interesting and enlightening. As for the EU argument, I agree with you. Time to make that argument!
