It doesn't work when the population is composed of different social groups with vastly opposite systems of values. Iraq for example (I was born in Iraq). We can already see a similar thing happening in America with different ethnic groups not getting along well together. I think this will only get worse over time. Pro Trump and anti Trump camps are really about how a significant number of whites are not getting along with a significant number of Hispanics (and other ethnic groups).

Unless of course those groups mix and form new ones. Unfortunately people like to self-segregate and push down others for their own cultural pride.

What you speak of is backwards. The answer to disagreement isn't for both parties to walk away in opposite directions, nor is it for one party to kill the other party. Disagreement is valuable in that it provides the world an opportunity to learn something. Your solution is to run away? That's seriously very sad, and I feel like crying that we still have people who think like this. The solution isn't crying, either. Many people are observed to get along with people who have different ideas, culture, and ethnicity. Perhaps a better solution is in education and learning.

    He doesn't say it explicitly. But what can I imagine when someone speaks of ethnic groups as if they followed some sort of inverse gravity law?

  > Disagreement is valuable in that it provides the world an opportunity to learn something. Please stop. I dont want to have disagreement. I dont want to have this endless debate. I want to be left alone. I dont want people to make descision for me. I want to spend my brain cycles in my work. Not this. Please stop.

    I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Disagreement is the way a society grows. If everyone agreed on everything, we'd be stuck in the dark ages. It's very simple. This happened with pretty much every advancement in science, most notably with Galileo. Strive to disagree. Don't strive for agreement, for then we are stuck in some sort of pseudotopia.
