It is PC, it is this notion of limitless tolerance, but funny it only goes for the one priviledged group - Muslims. Like Red said - keeping up with the JOneses, and the years of brainwashing at schools, name calling in the media....
I know what you meant and I agree completely - however, we do not have time to wait for another 200 years for Muslims to realize it is not possible to live in the 7th century. I believe we should make those living in our countries treat their religion the same way we do "ours" - the religion belongs to your home, do there what you want, cover your women, pray....but no such BS in the public.
The politicians should be forced to take at least 4,5 immigrants into their own houses, camps should be built in their posh neighbourhoods - maybe then they will stop ridiculing those that feel threatened.
Difficult to see the EU bureaucrats will get to their senses - just listen to Verhofstadt's response to Brexit vote - he wants more EU - more political integration not autonomy.
Not to accept any of the ridiculous demands made by them - but I am afraid after all the years of bending backwards and tiptoeing not to offend them it could be too late to insist on our ways/culture without using some radical measures.
The only solution for Europe now is to stop immigration from those countries altogether for a while (haha just like Trump said), try to integrate those willing to be integrated, and repatriate the rest pronto.
And to finally do something about this absurd situation where "religious freedom" overrides all the other rights
I have watched a TV crew interviewing people on the street - everyone said the main reason for voting out was immigration from Muslim countries. I am also curious what the UK will do to stop the Muslims - well, not accepting Merkel's ridicuous quota is a start although it is a very little step forwards in terms of numbers.
On "Real Time" on Friday, Bill Maher weighed in on the argument that the U.K.'s withdrawal from the European Union was, in part, a "xenophobic" reaction to a wave of Muslim immigration into Europe.
"I hear a lot of talk today about xenophobia," Maher said. "Is it really phobia if you have something to be afraid of?"
Maher explained that many Muslims hold beliefs that do not conform with Western values, pointing to a recent study that found 52 percent of British Muslims believe being gay should be illegal.
He added that many Muslims see women as second-class citizens and treat them as such.
Maher said that even most people who disagree with him on this issue acknowledge that Islam needs a reformation.
Unfortunately, he said, moderate Muslims are afraid to speak out because of "violent intimidation."
"And every time somebody says 'Islamophobia,' it gives the people who are intimidating cover."
"The most effective propagandists of the "European ideal" have not been the far right, but an insufferably patrician class for whom metropolitan London is the United Kingdom. Its leading members see themselves as liberal, enlightened, cultivated tribunes of the 21st century zeitgeist, even "cool". What they really are is a bourgeoisie with insatiable consumerist tastes and ancient instincts of their own superiority. In their house paper, the Guardian, they have gloated, day after day, at those who would even consider the EU profoundly undemocratic, a source of social injustice and a virulent extremism known as "neoliberalism".
I don't think the Uk gets Muslims from Poland...or Romania - we the letter does produce countless gipsies with the number of children you have mentioned. Otherwise, you are spot on - thinking of making my children convert, so they can get welfare and all the other perks
Interesting to see that it was the immigration that made you change your mind - well, to the Eastern Europeans it is the same - the weak west europeans have put this big burden of ME unintegrable military aged men onto us - it is better to be poor and stay who you are than accept ludicruous Merkel's ideas.
I think Britain's exit is just the beginning of the end for the EU .. It will crumple within ten years & by the time it finally does, Britain will be in a strong position because it has learned to cope independently .. The smaller countries will suffer as a result, leaving them worse off than before they joined, thus making them poorer than a third word country.[/quote]
I agree with most of what you have said in your post. The smaller and poorer countries will suffer the most if the EU lasts as long as you have predicted - in the ten year's period they will be made more and more dependent on Brussels, there will be no sovreignity left for them. That's why they should be the ones running out of the EU as fast as possible - now!
The EU bureaucrats have not foreseen that the UK would leave, now they are admitting that people are not against Europe, EU but they are against this EU run by these bureacurats and mindess politicians. What is the EU response? Like the most obnoxious MP says: EU needs reforms.....but he sees the future in a real political integration, i.e. no nation states, one "Soviet" EU running the politics, economics etc. for the poor brainless, clueless Frech, Germans, Slovaks....Slovenians, Bulgarians....etc.
Well, you are right - it depends on the mix ingredients - if some are too "exotic" that makes a big difference, with the ingredients being kinda of the same kind....another story
Hopefully the French and the others show the middle finger to the EU, too - but guys do it as soon as possible...preferably before this EU kills us all
Just got back from holidays. Congrats to Brits! I was rooting for the leave side - just heard about the petition for a new referendum, what does that mean? Can they do it?
I keep on thinking about how the Irish were made to vote again and again until the vote was what the political establishment wanted it to be.
Now I think you forgot what the post said - and no, English is not my mother tongue, but I have used it a ot with native speakers and what I said in that particular post was in no way grammatically wrong - and you reacted to the content not the spelling or whatever else.
And I did use 'dear" in the same sense you used "babe"
