Britain

[Virgin Mary]

But what I see is people moaning about immigrants coming here and not working, then people moaning that immigrants are taking all the jobs. Also people using the "diminishing British culture" as an excuse, what exactly is British culture? In terms of sponging benefits, obviously it's wrong but plenty of British citizens take advantage of it and evade taxes.

The monarchy and our current parliaments are too outdated and not efficent anymore, what we need now is a President as head of state and the Queen as deputy or some sort of role and we need real voting systems where peoples votes count rather than seats.

Not that a forum off teenagers really counted but you made a thread on a possible reform and if I remember rightly the reform option didn't do all that well, did it? What have you got against the monarchy? They do more help than harm really.

Oh wait I suppose it kinda does help as today's forum visitors will be tommorows voters.

wot u chattin, 1, not every one is british out of the 55 million people who live in this country

most foreigners are ilegal, illegal imagrants work as security guard at our air ports, this aint a safe country and 2

its our fault that were i nthis war

Firstly, I was using citizen as Adzeh had referred to them like that, so if you've got a problem take it up with him, please.

Statistics please. I'd like to know where this information is from, otherwise its invalid. Yes, they were illegal - but did they compromise the safety at all, by protecting the people who were in Britain? The only reason you care, was because the media glamourised it. Had their not been an article on it, i'm pretty sure that I and other people wouldn't care. Aslong as they do their job in hand, i'm fine with it. I disagree with them coming into the country illegally, but not all of them are criminals.

"This aint a safe country" there is no such thing as a safe country. Not one country can be perfect, because perfection does not exist. Where ever you go, there will always be deaths, there will always be violence and there will always be crime. The only thing which does exist is a low crime rate.

It isn't our fault we're in this war, its our governments. If you wan't to blame someone, blame your parents for electing them.

[Adzeh]

So let me get this straight, your going to discriminate 60 odd million people as citizens with no respect for their country? What the hell do you think the army are doing, fighting in Iraq? The reason they joined the army and that they are risking their lives is because of the respect they have for our nation. Don't tar everyone with the same brush, it really isn't a good habit to get into.

"One of the dirtiest countries in the world" We are far from that, which is why some immigrants illegally transport themselves into our country, because we have good living standards, which aren't "dirty".

I really am disgusted at your remark on "badmanz believing in racially motivated attacks would help the country" because the majority of them are just saying it without realising how many people they are discriminating against by scapegoating a few people.

I would also like to point out to you, that there are hundreds of places with very little crime rate, but admittedly the ones with crime rates are quite high.

"Tbh I actually can't wait until I am old enough and have enough qualifications to contemplate emigrating."

And when you've finally sodded off, good riddance. You make Britain seem thousands of times worse then it is. I really can't stand people like you.

So you're telling me that the majority of people in the armed forces are there because they want to make a difference? I have not met a military member yet, who can honestly admit that he never joined the army for the thrill of firing a gun, flying a plane, or experiencing combat.

As for making Britain seem 1000 times worse than it is, I disagree. We have a health system in tatters, a constant inquiry into every government action, little or no respect for the police force from people below the age of 18 (and that is getting lower every year). A large percentage of the population is in debt with the rest struggling to afford the rising costs of actually living.

This is not the country I grew up in. It was only four or five years ago that children could be outside for ages in the sun playing football or doing stupid things. Yet now, children are being shot and stabbed by other children, kids even as young as year 4 are using "brap" and "blud" as part of their daily vocabulary, and some parents are scared to let their children too far from home for fear of abduction.

[Favourtism]

I agree.

The youth of Britain is disgusting with drugs, alcohol and underage sex. Then this era of teens will become the era of adults who will then have kids who follow them. Eventually nearly everyone will be like it.

I remember when my uncle used to joke about all the things he did as a kid. He couldn't do any of that now. Firstly most parents don't let their kids out or go far in fear of them being attacked, mugged or kidnapped. This is no world for small children to grow up in. So kids are staying inside on computers and whatnot, helping towards the masdively high percentage of child obesity. Its a never ending cirle.

1 in 4 kids going into secondary school cannot read. That is appauling.


You don't want to get me started on Britain rofl. I could rant for days.

I will me getting a ticket out of Britain as soon as I turn 18.

May I ask where you got the "1 in 4" statistic from?

Some program. I have heard it multiple times though.

Would they be in Iraq for cheap thrills when they're in danger of being killed by the enemies around them? They know the surrounding area alot better then our army.

If you think our ones in tatters, I advise you see Sicko and compare the USA to the UK health system. They have more of a chance of being in "tatters" then we do, but their health system does work, like our one does. Our health system is improving, you just aren't giving it a try. "A large percentage of the population is in debt with the rest struggling to afford the rising costs of actually living." This is the exact same for other countries, not just us. As for the government and police comment, please don't over exaggerate. There are plenty of people who have respect for the Police forces.

Children still can. This is what i'm finding so infuriating about you, you've tarred the entire of Britain with just your area. Children still can play football, they can still do stupid things and only in a few places are they even being shot and stabbed. I really can't comment on this brap and blud nonsense, it isn't in my area. As for your comments of abduction, theres abduction everywhere, not just in Britain.

Its so stupid of you and yes i'm going to use stupid, because you've based the entire of Britain around your area? Where I live, none of this actually happens; people don't get stabbed, people don't use brap/blud and people don't get abducted. I really can't be bothered with someone whos trying to make Britain seem worse then it actually is.

Edit;

Some program. I have heard it multiple times though.

Fact and fiction; if you can prove it then please do, otherwise its not believable.

I found an article; but it says that a fifth can't read or write properly, not that they can't read or write.

Lost for Words, the childhood literacy season on Channel 4, begins with a Dispatches investigation into why so many of Britain's children can't read. According to Government statistics, a fifth of youngsters leaving primary school can't read and write properly. Reporter Alex Thomson investigates how this failure has come about and shows that with the right teaching methods virtually every child in mainstream schooling can be taught to read.

Can I ask what you have against underage sex. The law that sex is illegal under 16 is more of a guideline than a law.

How do other people having underage sex even effect you? If they do it behind closed doors in a private place then what is anyone's problem what so ever? If I was walking down a high street and had to ask a 11 and a 13 year-old to stop having sex as they're in the way, then I would see your point, but it's all very private so it shouldn't really effect you. If anything I sense a little jealousy.
