It's just like us in England and the Scots. They are 2nd Class but we tolerate them.(At least after 600 years of beating them up) Give em a break!

Here's the BEEF:\nIllegal immigration is against the LAW. Legal immigration is OKAY. We would be SAVING tax dollars by sending them back. Here's what they cost us (the USA) ANNUALLY:\n\nEducation: $22.5 billion \nBi-lingual Education: $3.3 billion \nAFDC: $2.4 billion \nSSI: $2.9 billion \nSocial Security: $24.8 billion \nHousing Assistance: $2.6 billion \nCriminal Justice: $2.6 billion \nJobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion \nOther Programs: $51.4 billion \nFood Stamps: $7 billion \nHealth Care: $1.4 billion \n(That Totals $131.7 BILLION Annually) $131.7 BILLION!!ANNUALLY!! \n\n\nbonnie_hunte...\nThis is a LEGAL VS ILLEGAL issue. Our country(USA) fought the Mexican-American war and WON, then paid $15 million dollars for that land and for the privilege of whooping the Mexicans a$$e$ -We would pick our own crops, but the freeloaders won't leave. "Why cook at home when you get a free smorgasbord at the neighbors(USA)"  The illegal immigrant worker is only a tip of the iceberg of problems to come, brought by the illegals coming across the border. They want "conquista" (reconquor), they'll tell you that. They want that land we whooped their butts for, they can't accept defeat. -They flew their flags in protest of the USA, the very country that has been putting food on their tables (food stamps) -They disrespect the people of the USA and our leaders. They should be deported and the sooner the better. Our borders should be tightened up and patrolled with armed guards.\n\nAs for the NAMES of cities in the USA. Go to Louisiana, the cities and towns there have French names, does France own or control them? NO! We have many towns and cities with Native American names, do the Native Americans own or control those towns and cities? NO! We have Spanish names of towns and cities. Does Spain own  or control those towns and cities? NO! Of course we have towns and cities with Mexican names, they once WERE Mexico. That was then, this is now. the USA owns and controls those cities and towns, NOW.

Unfortunately there are still people out there that are still racist, they are not used to different things. They do indeed bring back crafts and gifts and I do not understand that either, if they hate the people so much, why visit the country if you're not going to have a positive attitude and a good mood to go with it. I'm British myself, as some of you may say we are moaners because I have come across people on holidays where they are rude to the locals when all they are doing is running around backwards for them to make sure their holiday is as comfortable as possible and there is no pleasing them! I find this frustrating too, and thankfully you can tell everyone else that this Brit is not the same as the rest. I am so friendly to the local people and I appreciate their culture, language and respect their country. I love to travel and yes, some racists are two faced, when they are confronted with someone of power they will hide away and act like the cowards they are! This is pathetic of them and I myself am ashamed that in this day and age, there are still people who are prejudging or stereotyping people of a race or nationality. This just needs to stop because quite frankly it's getting boring!

I'm sourthern Indian and I'm ashamed to say that the caste system stays alive and well here. (It's worse in the North with added problems.) Many of us throw all of these out and believe every human being is the same as the other. There is no 'low' and no 'high'. Consider this the same as racism. Most of them are not fortunate to break away from the caste system, because of the way they've been brought up -  to think that this is 'right'. It's going to take a very long time for India to turn around. Having said that, we've got lots of beauty in our people too and most of my friends have married people from other communities and inter-racially too :-) Of course, the whole bunch is judged by one bad apple. Pity, this opinion will stick, untill the entire problem goes away.

England is already half-way to throwing our people's laws in the toilet and pulling out the Quran as the new way to live. Thank you so much British Liberals. But they are still in a big minority. I read that by 2100 the Causcasian British will be a minority in their own country if the current tred keeps on.\n\nImmigration doesn't help either. If you let them all in, of course they're gonna take over. Already they are enforcing their customs on us, making us accept them over ours, when they are the "guests" in our countries. They should obey our rules!

From my experience, the English are aloof - they do their own thing and they are not proactively friendly.  This is NOT to say that they are boring or mean.  It's just that they don't go out of their way to be friendly nor wish to display excitement.  Stoicism at its finest.

I think they take a special course in intimidation instead of a much needed one in community relations. They want to rule by fear instead of repect, but expect to be respected. And then are stupid enough to think we are impressed by them. Hmmmm.

Half the bloody Government is Scottish. The bloody Scots have England in their mean grasp.

They beat the English in 1066 in the battle of Hastings but no i don't think they have won a war since,they are wimps and it's a well known fact because they left the British to fight on their own in both world wars.The only good leader the French have had is Napoleon who was the Emperor of France and they did hardly anything in the second world war compared to Britain and America.They also lost the 100 year war with England(and Wales because Wales was the first country England took over to make the UK)and it just goes to show that France are rubbish and are not brave at all.

littleluvkitty - Thankyou for yet again demonstrating how little most people know of the conflict in Northern Ireland and the misery it has caused for people on both sides of that conflict.\n\nIt was that ignorant one sided sentiment which kept american money going into funding bombs and bullets which killed lots of innocent people in that troubled place. \n\nA terrorist is a terrorist whether he is blowing up a skyscraper in New York or a Hotel in Belfast.\n\nWhen will you guys realise that the Irish terror gangs (on both sides) were not good old boys who sang songs drank Guinness and bravely fought the invading Brits? They were (and are) gangsters who blew shopping centres, hotels and pubs full of people (their own Irish people included) to bits on a regular basis. They ran protection rackets, and punishement squads in their own communities, and they have killed many more children than ever they killed soldiers with their clumsy antics.\n\nBut back to the question. The medals are service medals and simply indicate that there has been a completed tour of duty. All armies do that and in fact the Brits give out a lot less than most.\n\nAnd to your point, yes I agree the long suffering ordinary people of Northern Ireland, Catholic and Protestant, who starved the terrorists of their oxygen do deserve a medal.

i cannot believe im reading these answers ,probably about 85-90% but the majority is because their fathers and grandfathers ,and greatgrandfathers before them all supported celtic it is all about religion and bigotry and im not just talking about celtic rangers supporters are exactly the same ,questions like this come up all the time from both teams and clowns come on saying its the minotity ,yet any time my team plays either of them ,when all the sectarian and bigoted songs are being sang i dont see very many celtic or rangers supporters NOT singing ,and thats a fact if you dont believe me just look at your own dvd or video collection and listen to the songs in the background and look at the crowd there all singing ,just admit it the majority of old firm fans are sectarians and bigots

i agree with you. i think it does widen the gap, and you cant compare going on holiday for a few wks and not spking the native language to choosing to live in a country and refusing point blank to learn the native tongue. just how much is it costing the tax payer to have every leaflet printed in different languages? its all about integration. if your not prepared to integrate and p.i.s.s and moan about how the country wont accomodate you then move to an arabic country. i for one have had enough with hearing how islam is a religion of peace when very clearly it fcuking isnt! and the argument about women wearing headgear,(cant remember the word for it, how ignorant of me!) is another point. i think it show they're fundamentalists. i'd certainly be more wary of someone covering up then i would be of someone with an open face. the country is trying to fight intolerance with tolerance and it just aint gonna work. the same laws dont seem to apply to muslims as they do to british born citizens. its not universal. and the fanatical muslims only have themselves to blame. why should we make the effort to understand what is basically a hide behind for bloodshed when they dont acknowledge other faiths.

The Brits abuse everyone, including themselves. Some is done between friends and is accepted here as fun...  if they really disliked them, they would not bother even speaking to them. However, some people are xenophobic and see abusing foreigners as a source of amusement... but they tend to be in the minority.  But as we are a developed country, freedom of speech within certain boundaries allows people to say what they think... And parents are not blind... often they are of he same view of their children OR have been so restricted by the laws the MP's have made, they cannot chastise their children!

have you ever watched braveheart? The Scots have been fighting the english for hundreds of years.  If we go south of the border today many english shops won't accept the Scottish pound not, claiming it's not leagal tender.\n\nThe english think they are better than us.  If the olympics are on then a Scot wins something they speak on T.V. about them being British, if they loose they are Scottish.  When an english person wins they are english.\n\nThe T.V. news always spend longer covering english soccer, showing video clips and interviews but if it's a Scottish report that follows it gets a quick mention

I'm not English - I'm Welsh\n\nIts not just "England" its the UK as a whole - Wales Scotland and England.  We all have the same problem.  Wales is just as bad.\n\nIts because the whole of the UK is overrun with Muslim immigrants and our Government are too spineless and PC to stand up to them.\n\nAny hint of restricting their activities and they go mad and start screaming about "racism", protesting and taking everyone to court (see the latest news story about the muslim female teacher - who has links to the mosque used by the 7/7/05 bombers btw - who was told she couldn't wear her horrible head to toe black outfit and veil in the school, so she goes to court and tries to sue everyone.) \n\nMuslims can do what they want over here - anyone who tries to stand up to them or complains is called a racist.\n\nAnd there's always some stupid bleeding heart liberal who will go on about the British Raj and how our ancestors "raped" their country so we today have to let them all into the UK to trample all over us and disrespect us and treat us like crap (Umm - no we don't.).    There are too many PC liberal idiots in this country.\n\nThe fact that many native Britons have turned in desperation to the BNP (British Nationalist Party - a far right political group) shows how desperate the situation is and how many Brits are sick to the back teeth with these ranting crazed lunatics trying to bomb us all the time.  We had all that with the IRA, now its the bloody Muslims.\n\nWell this is one Brit who has no sympathy with their cause whatsoever and wishes all Islamic extremists and ranters would get the hell out of this country.  they are not wanted and no way will this EVER be a "muslim state"  as they love to brag it will be.  Our fathers and grandfathers didn't lay their lives down in WWI and WWII for this.

don't worry what you call the japs buddy.they are not exactly in any position to point the finger at any one after the atrocities they were guilty of in their 2ND world war P.O.W. camps.i think japs or nips or dinks fits them well.they treated their animals better than they did us british.and beheadings before breakfast for sport was common place.you know like whats being going on in iraq .the japs were worse.
