God is this topic still going on !!!!!!! Wink and who,s got there blinkers on ?

I don't know.  Who do you think has got blinkers on and over what? 

This thread started out as a bit of a rant about people questioning UKBA's methods of rounding up illegal immigrants.  I believe that you were the one who opened it up to be a discussion about immigrants in general.  It's clearly a subject that interests everyone.

Have you all finished having hissy fits. It's such a laugh sometimes reading this forum. A good discussion is interesting but it does get out of hand sometimes. would miss the fun though if it got too serious!!

Well I think most normal people would deny being racist but it wouldn't necessarily make it true.  As for Mr Bloom, I'm not sure, maybe just a complete prat.  He's one of these people who blames 'PC' because it isn't any longer acceptable to say what you like about people.  The stupid things that he says about women wouldn't be out of place in a 1960's sitcom.  He certainly hasn't advanced the discussion about foreign aid and how it is distributed, that's for sure

Or it could be sensationalist nonsense as claimed in the second post on that thread.  We shall see.  Well I shan't as we don't get UK tv.  If Dispatches have uncovered anything that is of serious concern regarding the safety of Ryanair's passengers and crew I hope that they have notified all the relevant authorities already.  Apparently the programme is based around the three Ryanair aircraft that had problems landing in Valencia

Bill Cosby wrote this in 2010 and l never get tired of reading it.
l'm sure there are parts of it that someone will take issue with. Wink


I'm 74. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and  I'm tired. Very tired. 

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who
don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.      
 
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honour"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. 
 
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..   

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global
warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all
parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful
mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting
caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. 

I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's be-deck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves un-employable and claiming money from the Government.

Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 74. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughters and their children.   Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.

Exactly.

There’s an email floating around — entitled ‘I’m 76 and tired’ — purportedly sent by me. I did not write the email, I did not send the email, I’m not 76, and I don’t subscribe to the ugly views expressed in the email. We are coming up to an important anniversary on Sunday [the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks], which is a day when we should all come together. Whoever wrote this email is not thinking about our country, or what is important.”

I'm glad he said that, I really didn't want to dislike him.

Do you agree with all of it then?  Surely you must have seen some young men with tattoos employed by the army?  Smiley
