It agitated me because its really not fair what you are saying about him.

Being labelled racist is probably the worst "label" you can have.

Leave him and his opinion alone if you dont have proof.


Thank you.

 

Also Kamal if your accusing someone of being a racist you should expect to have some replies.

Well Immigration has two sides to it, on one side it does sometimes help the economy and fills the places in the work sector

On the other side, Immigration especially with those immigrants that prefer not to assimilate without society (im not talking about total giving up your identity) are creating divisions and splits in the community which link to growing antagonism.

I think if immigrants (like me i immigrated to the UK in 2005) want to stay in the country they should respect its customs, laws and character and not try to attack everyone that tries to force them to some form of comformity. What annoys me with fellow immigrants, they are bitching practically about everything.

Ask yourself why Japan has a zero immigration policy - despite having one of the lowest birth rates in the world!

It's because they see their society and culture as somewhat fragile, there would be too much turmoil and problems with immigrants. They want to preserve their culture.

Is it a coincidence that Japan's economy has been stuck in neutral for over a decade?


Yes and no. It has nothing to do with immigration or not, but a low birth rate in a nation is usually a marker for a some kind of stagnation in a society but on other levels.

You know that the U.S. would have a negative birth rate if it wasn't for immigrants right?

Yeah, so? Lower nativity is a part of modernization and also related to how quickly people in Western societies have become dependent on getting a high education, to have a career and stuff. But it also has to do with the fact that not as many people need to get kids just to support them when they get old, and not as many people simply dont want as many kids as in the past.

The US birth rates are still a lot higher than Japanese and for example Italian and German.
(2.05 children per woman in the US, compared to ~1.3 in JPN, GER and ITA.
And non-hispanic whites in the US get 1.8 children per woman, so it's not completely related to immigration)



UKIP are NOT a racist party by any means, but does no one else think they are a tad, ahem how shall I say this, soviet?

I don't like either BNP or UKIP, but I HATE the BNP, where as I merely dislike UKIP.

O no i didnt count myself...lol



will update the OP now, lol, been busy



Yeh it cool its been a good idea of a thread as usual.

Need more of these debatable threads, brings up some good/interesting conversations.



by the way, UKIP and the BNP arent the same, but both do have similar immigration policies, as in they would close the borders (although, i think UKIP only want to do this for a set time period)

basically, UKIP hate immigrants because they belive all the right wing propoganda that says there all evil, the BNP go much further and are essentialy just racist thugs.



There is a big difference from freezing immigration for a few years (UKIP)

UKIP hate immigrants? Really? Where has this being said mentioned or hinted?

I know they mentioned something about asaylum seekers choosing Britain despite there being many other safe countries to take refuge inbetween. But ive never known them to say that they hate immigrants.

And

A complete ban on immigration and full scale deportation based on ethnicity (BNP)
