No, you're not right.

Gosh darn it, I think you have it! What we need is a return to the days of the 1600s! Public floggings for women speaking out of turn, amputation for stealing a loaf of bread, that sort of thing. It'd soon whip this country into shape.

Indeed. Isnt it funny how those who seem to be most angered by the state of the country are also those most opposed to immigration and Muslims.

Why is it, then, that their answer to all ills is a peculiarly British form of Sharia law?

Is it? What similarities are there?
What is funny is those who claim to want free speech trying to shout down opinions they disagree with by calling them Nazis

So... I did a search for 'Nazi' on this thread, and only came up with two hits. One was from my post where I said that flag-burning was illegal in Nazi Germany - which is true, I believe - and the other is from VIRII's post where he accuses everyone of calling the less tolerant among us Nazis.

Oh god! I'm fed up of patriotism. For ***** sake, if you don't like the country, you don't have to live here. There is NOTHING to be proud of about the UK. put up with immigrants or whatever because this is how it works. I can't believe some people here are justifying the racist model that America has. The fascist christian model. Theres been enough of these "good for him for saying whats right!" threads.

I'm a Singaporean, immigrated over since 2001.

Well time to upset a few people i guess.

////personal viewpoint and stance mode on////

Personally i think that all people in the uk should be forced by law to abide by British laws and accept British culture.

Agreed, I don't expect the country to orbit about my cultural needs.[/quote]

sormicoft said:
This should include, but not be limited to the following
learn the lingo, if you want to live here speak English
Respect the country that means showing allegience and not burning union jacks etc

Already spoke English, taking a test on British history soon for citizenship - eventhough I scored A* in GCSE History.

Dont be a bloody scrounger, immigrants should get no benefits, i mean i'm sick of hearhing about hooky hand blokey with his thousands in benefits or the people out begging in the street, get a job ffs theres plenty out there you may think its a low paid rubbish job but guess what it pays money and theres plenty of jobs out there no matter how bad or menial they may be

I work and study, I pay tax and AFAIK, I've claimed nothing or collected nothing from the government - I pay NI, so I'm pretty sure Im at least entitled to NHS.

sormicoft said:
respect your fellow citizens, (obvious enough)

This I agree but I don't recieve the same treatment. I still put up with it.

sormicoft said:
i'm of the opinion if people dont like this country then why are they here, for example muslims who want sharia law introduced This is Britian not a muslim country dont like it then go somewhere else,

please dont take this as a muslim bashing thread i'm aiming this at any and all ethnic groups

if anyone wants to debate these points then feel free. i'm here all night

I'm ethnically Chinese, don't see me promoting Communism here, I however live my life on parallel with Taoism teachings, but don't impose them on anyone around me.

cant help but laugh at that.... so what are you doing still living here ?

yer_averagejoe · 12 Oct 2006 at 00:02

studying actually. I'll leave when I'm ready.

Its the brits that are making this country scum. Chavs and the like. Immigrants are really not a problem. Oh and the flag thing.. don't be stupid, its a piece of cloth, burn it if you want.

So you did not notice how you have accused those who are less "tolerant" than you of having similarities to Nazis ....... LOL.

I didn't actually say I don't like the country either. it has its areas that are really nice. Sure I like some other countries more, and I'm sure everyone does. But my comments still stand, I don't know why everyone is so damn proud. I'm English btw, living in scotland and I don't try to make out that England is better than Scotland, because they're both declining at the same rate. (Due to chavs breeding! - I hate the topic of chavs, it makes me sound immature and stupid, but they are a growing problem, its plain to see)

yeah i edited that out because i wasnt sure if it was still free, so i went to google it.

Looks to me like this chap is just milking the tax payers for his free education then plans to move away :rolleyes:

No you said nothing to be proud in this country which to me implies that you dont like the place.

Anyway i dont want to drag this off topic anymore...

No - it says he doesn't like the people.

This is a fantastic country.

It's just let down by it's shoddy inhabitants.
