Lol, check out Balckrave's video and prepare tofeel inferior.Quote:

Lol, I thought the UK was bad.
Dare I say this, but you don't get much worse than the UK for Immigrants.
Immigrants.
And yeah, the UK is better, even if it's still a bit shit.
The USA is 8th on the HDI list, so it cannot possibly be that bad. That is higher than the UK.
On the other hand, HDI does not single-handedly decide whether a country is good or bad to live in.
The 2007/2008 HDI listings from the UN is due on Tuesday, so we will see then.
What do you mean?Quote:

And by the way, someone posted a thread like this already. Some time ago..
Immigrants travel here to clame benifts which is payed by hardworking tax payers, they come to take advantage of our health service, and they come to take our houses. I bet you think Im being racist, that's not intended.Quote:

Racist and racist .. I think you are being prejudiced and a bit cynical. It sounds like the same stuff conservative people and political parties in Norway say (the most conservative party claims immigrants have "gang shootings" in the middle of the street in Oslo every day and rape and kill everyone O_o). They do not travel there to claim the benefits. Most of them move to escape the troubles in their homeland, and work and pay taxes, too.Quote:

It is amazing. Only in my class there are people from Russia, Ghana, Pakistan, one half-Turkish and one half-Swedish. Having a girl from Ghana also helped a lot when we had a project about the country.
Immigrants are nice and have a lot to talk about.
I agree. I don't get what people's problems with immigration are. It's not like 500 years is that long ago, and before that there weren't any "Americans" in the (current) USA, and 900 years ago, Britain got converted (well, and 1700 years ago too).Quote:

yep I live in California where the word immigrant is widely used as a scapegoat for all the economic/social problems. penn and teller have a pretty hilarious video showing how ridiculous the situation is getting its on youtube somewhere.
Which war do you mean? The one that ended 62 years ago? Well, the USA for example have waged 26 since then (according to the following list:)Quote:

Same for me in Miami. What's most ridiculous is that the government allows people to immigrate here as political asylum due to the situations on many of the islands. So what happens is that if you set foot on US soil, you can stay because we don't deport people seeking asylum. However, the coast guard will push these people back with fire hoses and try to capture them prior to actually setting foot on US soil, because then they CAN send them back.Quote:
