I agree in many ways, although I do believe firmly in being charitable to people. We have it good in North America and we should avoid selfishness. On the other hand, it won't do any good to bring everyone else's problems here.

I think the "multicultural" idea that we have is idealistic, but simply not realistic. A society should have a certain degree of homogeneity, and we can't have people wanting to live by Sharia law here, basically undermining our own justice system (note: I don't really know much about that specific issue, it's the principle I'm getting at). So the big question is: where do we draw the line? What sort of diversity do we allow and what sort is harmful for our society?
