British school scraps yearly Nativity play for Asian play

[Loser]

I am completely against all religion, but not against tradition. We have celebrated Christmas for very long time, and for somebody to come to our country and have the cheek to tell me it offends their religion is pathetic. I have absolutely nothing against Asians in general, but I find it disgusting that we have to change our traditions to keep others happy.

They weren't forced to, they chose to.

Come again?

Thats pathetic, if asians dont like what we do in Britain then they can **** off, simple as.

In Middlesbrough there was this big debate about the Christmas lights. Usually they say 'Merry Christmas from Middlesbrough' but the council were going to change it to 'Seasons Greetings' so it doesn't offend Muslims and that.

I think this whole thing is wrong, this is England. I think if they have a problem with the way England is ran or the English way of life, they should feel free to leave.

I agree with these we're becoming to lenient with all these people. There's so many complaints because lets relate to this woman who had what 8/9 kids was coloured and got 100k a year and a 6 bedroom mansion free because of that? If you were a white male/female you'd get jack**** from the government so you could complain that our government is racist towards white people. Im not against people coming into England but they should really adapt to our way of life and how our country has been for so many years, why just because they've decided to come to our country change our tradition? No. I do not hate coloured people infact quite a few of my friends are coloured so don't call me racist :rolleyes:

I still find it hilarious how people think it's alright to give people labels....

I think England should stop letting people from foreign countrys in full stop guys, because the UK is already heavily populated and new comers only really use it to steal the special supplys, i guess Americans feel the same way about Mexicans.

Im not saying anything here, i just meen polish people and such get past our borders so easily yet they cant even speak a word of English, Pathetic ehy?

And remember the child benefit scandal? Course ya do.

Im not saying get rid off all Muslims, or all asians, im saying stop letting all other types of people in, England is certainly not American because America is a democracy, England is well.... England?

I don't see how england is not a democracy....

[Virgin Mary]

A? democracy? America is a fundamentalist christian mormon country that thinks its democratic cos some dead guy wrote a bill that said you have the right to talk "/!

I'm an English guy, working towards my A levels then a degree so I can join the army. I'm rather proud of my country, but I can see where this is coming from. It was most probably a school in an estate which is prominately non-English, in which case there's no need for them to do a nativity as none of them celebrate it. I know I hated nativities, actually, I hate Christmas being shoved down my throat as a whole.

But, whilst we're on free speech. I'm 17 and have a 2month old Daughter (don't worry, I work every available hour to pay for her, no benefit scrounging here) but I'm not allowed to go and see Russell Brand because I'm not 18. How come I'm allowed to raise a child, teach her whatever I believe in and whatnot but not allowed to hear what one man has to say? It's unreal.

I came, I saw, I canquered and I came again.

Although there's no story attached to the original post, my assumption was that the school chose to scrap the nativity play. Whereas, I read

we have to change our traditions to keep others happy.

As it being a forced move.

Yeah, I kinda know you have to be 18, I mentioned it in my post. It just makes no sense that I'm not allowed to hear him speak. Surely that's censorship & lack of free speech?
