I was referring to illegal immigrants, not legit immgrants (for the third time). :P

Say the same about what we wear? :eusa_eh: How could you? We don't exactly go around wearing balaclavas do we? Because that is what they are the equivalent to. Them masks that they wear pretty much are balaclavas, there is no doubt that they are scary, especially to old people and children. In the dark they can be terrifying, they look the same as a man wearing a balaclava who is obviously wearing it for a reason (mugging, murder, robbery etc).

I think for someone as educated as you and someone that could have so much to say in a topic like this, you didn't really do a good job in that post. Nevertheless I will still reply to a few parts of your post.

"You take offence because people who weren't born in this country live in the same city? I mean that is an amazing level of ignorance and probably a dangerous level at that too."

No, I do not take offence because people who weren't born in this country live in the same city, I don't think I have ever said that?

"However going by what you're saying, if I were to board a bus and call my mum and speak to her in a different language probably because I didn't want the whole bus to hear my conversation you would be offended by it?"

I wouldn't say offended is the correct word but yes I certainly would not like it. We can manage without the need to speak another language and while it being quite a handy and useful thing to be able to speak a different language I don't think on the bus when many other people are there is the right time. Many people do find it ignorant and think that if they want to live in our country they should speak our language.

"More ******edly (I have had to make up this word just for this post) your dislike stems from your personal experience from these groups which frankly is such a stupid excuse that it makes me wonder if you have an extra chromosome somewhere."

You seem quite angry about this and it has made you exaggerate quite a few times. Saying that I might have an extra chromosome somewhere just because I dislike some people from personal experiences is a load of crap. It is understandable for someone to dislike someone or something because of personal experiences, my youth has involved growing up in a place were an ethnic minority is a nuisance and you seem to think that I am crazy for being effected by that.

In fact, I think pretty much all your post is quite a let down, you could of stated your mind in a much better way considering this is a topic you know a lot about.

I agree with that point, if a white person wore something that showed their eyes only, there would be something said. I don't like the fact the rules are bended to suit them..

Its their culture. If it annoys you so much, why don't british people wear it when they go to live in muslim countries??

You would expect that from someone like Jin wouldn't you? But his post just didn't really seem to be relevant to what we have been talking about and I personally thought it was a let down. And yes I did quote it and reply to it.

Hahaha, coming from you! You ignore any posts that own you. My last few posts being a great example? You also have a habit of making things up about what we have said, which you have ignored.

The whole speaking in a different language thing sort of reminds me of my friend... He's Scottish and when around me and the rest of our friends speaks in an English accent.. however whenever he is at home with his family all of a sudden a Scottish accent comes out of nowhere I guess like someone else said earlier in the thread it's what the person finds more comfortable if two people are talking and they both have a mother tounge which isn't English why should they both have to speak English when it would be easier to speak in the language they know best?

Also I don't see anyone moaning about the Welsh and the Irish like Jin said?

Also Mint, you have been looking at this thread for a while now since I last replied, why don't you ever reply directly? Or do you wait for someone to maybe reply because you know you are wrong?

Yes that is very true, like I said, I myself am an imigrant from Russia people tend to think immigrants are people who work for pennies when its not true and its not just about the cash.

Don't blame immigrants because they can do a job better than someone else that's not an immigrant. That's just being plain prejudice.

Totally correct. I came from Russia to England at the age of 6, not knowing any english at all. I started primary school with a lot of problems with the language. When I was at high school, I was the cleverest in my year & finished with the best GCSE grades out of anyone, lots of As + A*s. So there you go ;)

I wasted my time to quote just some of the things you have made up, you did this a lot in the other threads we argued in.

In the main thread starting post I actually said that I know loads of nice Indian/Pakistanis, that is the first thing you made up.

You say I only look at the ones that suit me but the post you were saying this about was about me being surprised at all the people that have problems with Asians so in actual fact I don't only look at the posts that suit me, made up much?

Oh really? You like how I think it's only Asians/Blacks who come to the UK and do this? That's nice, but what makes you think this? I never said that It is only Blacks/Asians that come to the UK and do this but obviously you like making things up and this is just another thing you have made up.

How do I fail to understand that all races behave badly? I said that there are white scroat bags that behave badly so here again you have lied.

When did I say "All Asians are idots"? I didn't, yet again something you have made up.

So you have actually been monitoring me while I have been eating my tea? Scary. My laptop has been pushed to the side while still viewing this page since Harry Hills TV burp came on. Now I am watching the X Factor and also posting (thought you might like to know xx :] ). I always post straight away no matter who the previous poster is so there you go again making things up. And by the way, I am right, not wrong. :8

If you really understood it, you would have never made this post. Because like I said, people should judge people individually.
And you say you can see that asians/blacks/british can all act like idiots, so whats the point you are trying to make? :S
