No offense, but since when did spelling matter in a debate? And why does anyone have to pick it out... it's irrelevent and I mean... well you can understand what qwerty is getting at.
What country's flag would you be referring to there querty123?
Because he's exactly the sort of person who would complain about immigrants not speaking English when he can't even write legibly.
Not patriotic in the sense you mean it, no.
I'll repeat what I said on another thread
"In fact I love this country, and one of the reasons I love it is due to the multicultural makeup and the fact that most people are welcoming of other cultures. We have one of the most vibrant creative cultures in the world, encompassing design, fashion, music, popular culture etc, and this is down to the fact that we do have lots of immigrants feeding in different influences and mixing it up. An insular culture is a dead stagnant culture."
Is Britain represented by the flag of Islam in your opinion then? The part of your post I was referring to was the bit where you said . I was interested to know what country an Islamic flag represents, in your opinion.
By the way, I don't think it is illegal to burn another countries flag. If its done in a way to stir up racial hatred then it might be, but burning a flag per se is not an offence.
As always, its all about context.
It does not necessarily represent the people of the UK.
Israel are behaving like terrorists here, just as much as Palestinian suicide bombers.
Read some history.
or is that pitta? Either way, I haven't a clue what you're on about
Try learning some history, it might actually open your eyes to how indoctrinated by spin you show yourself to be.
Keyword for you: Irgun
And no, I don't "pitty" Israel. I think its a tragic situation when innocent people get killed, but the actions of the Israeli government have caused a lot of this.
As I said, read some history.
Do you pity Sharon?
Where's the world coming to!
I feel sorry for innocent people who get caught up in it, and that includes Palestinians, Israelis and anyone else.
But to think that Sharon is trying to sort it out, betrays a shocking ignorance on your part.
Read some history.
I haven't observed anything anywhere in this country that could merit describing multiculturalism as an abject failure.
In fact, in most cases it can only be described as resounding success.
What failure?
Threads often get a bit sidetracked. Make a sensible contribution if you're that bothered.
Has your computer gone walkabout?
So, MT, what failure?
These are massively exaggerated by tabloid media.
Where is your evidence that minority groups are becoming increasingly ghettoised? Where are these signs in 5 languages?
Your analysis is far too simplistic.
I refer you to my first post on this thread
Thoughts?
:rolleyes:
The tabloid papers stir up anti-immigrant feeling and print lies about asylum seekers. And if you notice, I did blame the government as well.
