Un-f*king*-believable.

Dave Milne did pass the time by typing:
I see you have your share of loonies over there as well.
How about a tietack that looks like a bum? Would that be racist? :D
Have you got a problem there with illegal aliens committing crimes and ending up in jail/prison?
Anne Owens buns or buns you eat?
no, just legal aliens committing crimes and ending up in jail/prison.

At least whole sections of Britain aren't speaking/reading/writing Spanish now. I've seen cities in Southern California where all the billboards are in Spanish. I've seen cities in Southern California where libraries no longer have the name libraries, they're now called bibliotecas. Imagine public libraries that don't have signs calling them libraries anymore. Insane. Do hispanics still get affirmative action in the USA? Too bad I don't get any affirmative action in any latino countries...
Debes aprender español, como yo. El mundo no debe proveerte la vida. Espero que después de siglos, los estadounidenses todos hablarán espanglish. A Dave, mejor que aprendas árabe.

Learning Arabic would do me little good. Urdu would be better probably.

On Tue, 04 Oct 2005 02:35:21 GMT in , "Dave Milne" graced the world with this thought:
This doesn't really strike me as political correctness... it's too stupid to qualify. I'm wondering if she thinks the prisoners don't know they're in England...
I have spent a total of 2.5 hours in England, most of it standing in line for a security checkpoint or running to catch a connecting flight. It still looks OK from the air though. What you are seeing, is a sort of reverse colonization effect. It is not nice, to invade a country, which is three or four times as old as your own, enslave everyone, and force your culture on them. One could call what is happening in your country now "bringing it back home". I am sure that there are places in this world, where the natives feel the way you do, but about English-speaking immigrants or visitors.

jail/prison.
Hmmm Great news. I was thinking on visiting the States but my english is soooo bad that I took the desicion of not going. But your note helps me to decide where in the States to go.
Funny thing is that nowadays if you know english and spanish you can travel all around the world. Some years ago you could travel only with english but the times are changing. Is like the dollar. Few years ago every single time I traveled outside Europe I carried US Dollars that are accepted all around the world. Now I travel only with UE Euros... That is something for you to worry about... not the spread of "hispanos" population.

Every so often something like this happens in the US. Some mal-content will find something to offend them and will lodge a complaint. In the case of a "pin" or other ornamentation the excuse they choose is racism or hate related as these have some court backing. In the specific case of a flag pin.... in the US if that stays in the news for a couple days there will be a 'review' of the complaint and a reversal of the ban.
In the US these complaints are generally from a liberal, a demoncratic, or a commie (all the same group). In the UK who are your malcontents?
I've found two types of universal currency.
The first is the US dollar which is a preferred currency in much of the world.
The second is American cigarettes which are accepted as money just about everywhere else and especially in the middle east.
Fidelio,
The groups that cause the problems in the US are generally the ones who want to benefit from American society but refuse to become part of, or donate to it.
The "melting pot' that you hear referred to is where each group as they are becoming Americanized gives the best of its ideas, beliefs, and culture into that melting pot.
A person only need look at any US calendar and see the influence of all the groups that came in before. We celebrate holidays from all cultures, we assimilate their variation into our existing holidays.
The Irish have gone so far as to publicly state that on St. Patrick's Day that 'Everyone is Irish" and no one is offended.
Is our society perfect? No, we have a long way to go and the going is made worse by malcontents intent on destroying the 'American Dream' as we know it.

Pakistani Muslims probably. As they all look the same to us, we will probably end up with Hindu Indians and Seikhs feeling victimised soon. Blacks don't like being "targetted" by the police and complain they are over-represented in our gaols.

Very true. I don't have a problem with having them here per se, I just have a problem with 65 million people living on a small island which is better suited to 10 million. Most of the recent population growth has been through immigration.
Dave Milne, Scotland '91 Grand Wagoneer, '99 TJ
We don't seem to have any big problems, at least in this area, with south Asians. Most that I know are Indians, they have their own sub-division of several streets in the next town over. But then.... most would be considered affluent with education and good jobs
I'm missing something here.
Who is offended by the flag, and why?
I understand. Hmmm Just ask the US authorities to check the Antonio Banderas visa... he is from Spain and I'm not sure if he is good people. I'm pretty sure that he went to the USA just to marry with Melany to the the "green card" and to get money. I doubt he could do something for the States. At least he didn't make anything for Spain and he was living here for more than
30 years.Related to other people coming from Spain... Pedro Almodovar... I suggest shutdown first ask later... Penelope Cruz... too late she is well integrated on the States... you can ask the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at Atlanta to consider her as a mutant virus.... who else?... hmmm Oh Yes!!!... If you see someone looking like Mr. Bean and is called Zapatero he is our President... just take him into Guantanamo... nobody in Spain will complain about it. :-DDD

I understand the St. Patrick's Day being the Irish people biggest holiday... Now what I can't figure out is why Columbus Day is a Italian holiday. All people in Spain knows Colombus (Colon) was spanish.
Anyway Italians... Colon could be Italian but WE PAY THE TRIP.
:-DDDD
