    Absolute nail on the head right there. It's airhead liberals who refuse to see this and allow the abuses to happen. Boards.ie is over run with these types and luckily in real life, the silent majority would agree with your post. Its nothing to do with ethnicity or skin pigmentation but moreso the developing world attitudes to civility, education, crime, sexual orientation and women that isnt acceptable in the developed world. Ironically I see in some areas, there has been so much immigration that they have recreated the same terrible conditions that they have tried to escape from in the first place.


    ....what areas?

    Hispanics in California so much so whole cities have become majority Hispanic. Brutal gang wars in mexico have spilled over into the USA coupled with low academic achievement, reliance on government assistance and general crime. The normal innocent inmigrants get caught up in this even though they have fled their original country to escape these conditions. Then unfortunately, they all get tarred with the same brush.

    O look, regurgitated generalised crap. I was unaware that Hispanic culture(s) was pro-crime, uncivil and anti-education. You've some evidence for this?

    .......You know that California was part of Mexico until a century ago?

    There's been no real spill over into America via the Drug wars.

    I'll want stats on the rest.

    Don't go bending over backwards for nodin. He can ask for plenty of info but isn't too fond of answering questions himself.

    I'd like to start off this post by saying that I have no racist views whatsoever. However, I have got close friends and members of my family that would hold views like these, but yet are all really nice good people. Can the two be compatible? I'm torn, as I obviously get on very well with them as they're close friends, but I do feel very uncomfortable when they come out saying racist things, particularly in reference to Africans and the use of the 'N' word. What do the rest of you think about this?

    I stereotype - it's just quicker

    No actually, it wasnt. I can pass you along his name and number if you wish. it caused huge problems in his house as he is the eldest son and was told he would be left out of the family business. I have known this guy for going on 10 years and he is not what you would call a traditional Muslim. his family are though.

    The family can exert a lot of pressure on their children regarding who they should marry.

    Perhaps this is an issue for the west to consider before we let more and more people from these cultures into Europe.

    I've found that and thanks for the advice. Thankfully, in real life, those that ridiculously on the left are not listened to.

    And those on the right. Extremist hardline leftwingers and rightwingers are thankfully rarely listened to but the few times they were, we got the likes of Hitler and Stalin.

    There are good aspects of left and right ideologies and it is better to be in the centre, centre right or left of centre. Extreme rightwing ideology (commonly known as fascism) means that the state, banks and big business are one and the same and will crush anything or anyone who does not go along with that. Extreme leftwing ideology (formerly known as Soviet-styled communism) means that the state takes over the assets of big business people and appoints loyalists to them to control these businesses. Both sound the same. Both ARE the same.

    Another example: Communist Russian dictator Joseph Stalin took over and collectivised all big landholdings in the 1920s. Who was his role model? Karl Marx? No! How about the medieval capitalist king of England then, Henry VIII.

    Stalin needed money to make Russia rich (WW1 and the 1917 revolution impoverished it) and saw rich pickings in taking land and assets off big business in the hands of Tsarists. Henry VIII came to power with his country also feeling the strains from past wars (War of the Roses fought by preceding kings incl. his father Henry VII) and the huge assets of the monasteries and Catholic clergy (now seen as a convenient and megarich enemy after he got besotted with Anne Boleyn) were a way of making his country rich without taxing the people more.

    And of course Hitler and his Nazis went after the Jews because they were rich. They robbed art and gold from anywhere they could.

    So, capitalism and communism are really very similar!

    Ironically, I've read the same puerile rhetoric in Japan. One of the right wing mayors claiming that us foreigners were pushing up crime stats, unsociable behaviour, bringing diseases etc etc.

    I'd rather be an airhead liberal than a squarehead visceral.

    Spent some time living there and hate to say it but it's true. According to the FBI 95% of wanted murderers in LA are illegals, 53% of burglaries are committed by illegals, the list goes on.

    Also... "The U.S. Department of Justice has reported that Mexican drug cartels have gang members in nearly 200 U.S. cities from Los Angeles to Baltimore and represent the “largest threat to both citizens and law enforcement agencies in this country"
