Then it's the actual immigrants that get the backlash because the public at large assumes these ideas and 'rules' are coming from us.<BR/><BR/>My main point, however, is you simply can't move to a country and expect that country to significantly change to suit you.Pauliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709405037488442948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-23448788128030221182007-05-14T18:50:00.000-04:002007-05-14T18:50:00.000-04:00I tend to agree with you. If you move to a countr...I tend to agree with you. If you move to a country (or a "place") you really don't have a lot of right to demand that the residents of that place change their customs, etc. to fit your needs. Now, that doesn't mean that the locals should be intolerant toward you (that's an issues that simply speaks to the idea that we should all be civil to one another) but they shouldn't have to change because they do things differently than you are accustomed.<BR/><BR/>In the U.S. at least it gets a little muddled because we sort of have a hard time with our identity. We have a history of our own as a nation, but it is relatively short compared to European and Asian countries. America was founded by immigrants from all over, and so on the one hand we want to protect our "American" heritage, but on the other hand we feel bad about excluding future immigrants because we feel that would be doing a disservice to those that came before.Katohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228307619229587737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-77265625983035544782007-05-14T16:44:00.000-04:002007-05-14T16:44:00.000-04:00I agree with every word you said. Every last one.....I agree with every word you said. Every last one..and I don't have any sarcasm on this (for once).<BR/><BR/>Recently I encountered a situation where a company I deal with has decided that they are only going to employ polish people to work in their warehouse. They are actually going to bring them to England to fill the jobs. If you are British - you need not apply. It really fucking pisses me off. It's racism against Brits in Britain!<BR/><BR/>Oh and "Happy Chirstmahannukwanzakah" LMFAO!!lollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837313131661690830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-88100343840390472242007-05-14T10:34:00.000-04:002007-05-14T10:34:00.000-04:00A message to non-assimilating immigrants everywher...A message to non-assimilating immigrants everywhere...
