imi Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yeah but why? If they are such a hard working nation and we are such a bunch of lazy b*stards then why is (or was) our country so much better to live in ? they don't come here for the climate Be thankful to them as they are paying for our pensions and our continued welfare state; without them we'd be no better than a desert in Africa due to the incompetence of the indiginous population Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz1 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I have worked in construction all my life. i have and do manage workers from all over the world. I have gangs of british guys that leave polish workers behind at carpentry, steelfixing and labouring. But on the other hand and different contracts i have had polish workers leave brithish workers behind, although never in carpentry. that programe showed a biased view IMO we do need to get our dole scrounging people back to work though, but this spineless government seem not to want to do anything about it, come voting day i can see ukip and bnp getting a lot more seats:( because people are starting to believe its all the immigrants fault that this country is close to going on its knees when it is clearly laziness and bad government objectives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I reckon we should do a swap!! Come to the country, choose a job then point out the jobshy drain on society we have here that would be doing that job instead of bludgeing off the state and we can deport that oxygen thief off to the country the asylum seeker came in from. We'd be saving someone from a horrible fate in their country and as the jobshy type hasn't got a price on his head and is probably too stupid to have an opinion anyway shouldn't get one 1 in 1 out, in fact some weeks we could do a special offer and we'll give you 2 for the price of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 that programe showed a biased view IMO They always do. Did anyone watch the programme on Thursday about personal injury solicitors? Bloody thing made me so angry. They set out to make PI solicitors look bad... they found the dodgyist solicitors firm ever and picked their most dodgy cases....

Ian C Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 without them we'd be no better than a desert in Africa due to the incompetence of the indiginous population I actually find that to be one of the most offensive things I've ever read on here. I'm normally quite easy going but you've just criticised, well, me for a start. And my family. And my friends. So in a nutshell, go fuck yourself, you racist.

The documentary was biased to an extent and I don't think its fair to make sweeping statements regarding immigration. Whilst immigration does have its benefits, it doesn't mean the country is completely reliant on immigrants. We've grown to rely on immigrants to work in certain sectors and yes, if they left all of a sudden that could cause chaos on a certain level. Over time however, society would re-adjust itself. The majority of the immigrants do the labour-intensive jobs many people aren't prepared to do. They cannot however, carry out other key services (those not educated or qualified under HSMP etc) that require professional qualifications e.g bankers, legal services, architects etc. Its the advanced level of these latter services that enable England to be a developed country as opposed to a developing one that is, as you say, a desert in Africa.

JamieP Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Ive had many people work for me over the years, mostly they are always good workers for the first few weeks but then get lazy and i mostly get rid of them. Ive only ever had one Polish guy, he started 6 years ago and has worked hard everyday since, in that time i dont ever remember him complaining about anything, he has respect.

Lol CJ, ironically, I've noticed in the short while I've been here, that you have a tendency to be really quick on the offensive as well regarding a "particular part of the society".

Septic Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Would you care to back that up with fact and substance? Seriously? Have you forgotten the other threads that both of US discussed? The 'afterlife' thread, the Israeli assassination thread and this. I'm not insinuating that you're a xenophobe- i just find it funny that you seem to adopt a particular stance when dealing with certain members/topic discussed. Regarding your recent edit: If not then an apology would be welcomed. I apologise if you've taken my point out of context but I don't think you understood what I meant. I'm not at all stating that you are a racist or make racist comments. Your views seem to have the conflict approach regarding certain beliefs and that isn't a criticism at all. CJ, you misunderstand the point I make. And to clarify, I wholly disagree with Imi's point, as can be observed from my earlier post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I would ask you to quote a particular instance whereby I had posted any racist and / or xenophobic content. If, as you say I adopt a particular stance against certain members or topics, then that is tantamount to calling me either a racist or a bully and that is not acceptable.

How is adopting a particular stance about certain topics or members equivalent to you being racist? Even though I don't know you, I sincerely, hand on my heart, don't think you are a racist at all CJ. I apologise if it sounded like that- I guess my thoughts translated via text on the internet have inevitably made you assume that I was making a particular point. I have friends and acquaintances that have a COMPLETE OPPOSITE stance on my beliefs/culture etc. I would not call them racists. I hope I've cleared up any misunderstandings CJ. I'm sure that if we were having this debate in person, and I made the above point informally, you would just laugh it off. [EDIT] THat xenophobe comment was a joke btw! I incorrectly assumed that the smiley would make that clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are thinking of the posts I made whereby I asked the Muslim members to clarify Islam's stance on marriages between men and children as young as 10 years old. To be frank, if that upset you or any member of the forum who follow Islam then tough. To my mind it was a legitimate question and one I would have directed to members of any other faith that had some of its followers practising paedophilia.

That and your comment about how imi and I were so quick to make a point regarding the Israeli intelligence operation. CJ you didn't upset me with that comment. Of course I understand your enquiry about the aforementioned topic. I had to make the same enquiries as well! I need to clairfy, I don't come from a practising muslim family. My mum was born here and half her family is American (as in white Americans). Only very recently have I become a practising muslim- I'm still always debating/considering/ analysing. I really shouldn't have made that xenophobe comment. I'm an idiot. Please bear in mind that it was just a joke. It just always seem likes its a case of imi vs you and I was just picking up on that. I didn't mean anything by it. Apologies if you thought I was labelling you as a racist. You crazy old man!!! (joke!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
