Proud To Be British

forgive me, the amount of (still unmoderated) abuse ive sustained this morning has turned my sense of humour cold.

Do the mods actually do anything on this forum, maybe apart from delete threads which do not correspond with their opinions?

I am not american and it all ok sayin u bcum part of the culture but only if u join in take asians for eg how many of them dnt speak english all the time wen infront of english ppl in our country and how many of them wear there own clothes n do not join in in british culture yet still have the cheak to call them selves british tht is wot i dnt think is right

Just another load of intolerance and ignorance that's sadly growing in our great country .

where's that in their statement?

Its written all over it. Can't you see it?

no. im just asking you to point out the ignorance and intolerance in the post.

Language for example. Why shouldn't people be able to speak the language of their parents say to speak to their grandparents? And who cares if someone speaks in another language? They aren't speaking to you and haven't commited a crime, have they?

hehe, Mr.White will hear of your support.

I'm guessing that is supposed to be a bad thing. Am curious as to why though. Agreeing with something sensible is something more people should do.

no, its good. you will be rewarded.

Thankyou. Your generosity will not be forgotten your eminence etc etc etc

Ask yourself what is 'to be British'?
Britain is a melting pot of ethnicities - Scottish, Wesh, Northern Irish, English and a multitude of other peoples from all over the world - all of them bringing their own uniqueness to the meaning of British.
When in France do we speak French - no, only out of neccessity. What are British clothes? I don't know, can someone enlighten me?

Ingratiating yourself Uriah?

I can't believe you wasted the time to post that. Strange little creature.

As for the lack of tolerance of some posters who think that someone (whose native language is not English) speaking to someone else whose language is also theirs means that somehow they are not 'grateful' for the privilege of living and working here is at best farcical and at worst racist.
Britains who have gone to live in Australia do ot assimilate very well with the Australian-born population. They tend to ghettocise their own areas and make little Englands, Scotlands etc. whilst eating their fish and chips and wearing their kilts. Why should they not be criticised in the same way some are criticising those who settle in whatever Britain is.

Rubbish. Where on earth did you come up with that??? If anything, people from Britain fit in better with Australians better than most. American people get treated as something of a joke for a little while, but fit in too after time. (No, that did not mean every single American gets treated like that, but say 75-80% of them) So just where did you come up with that rubbish?
