Society & Culture - 16 November 2006

I am fed up with asylum seekers and immigrants in my country. I live in England, UK.

My granddad, who is 84, is being forced out of his council home into a care home because he is no longer able to maintain his garden and clean his windows. He fought in world war 2, and was awarded medals.

In the apartment next to him, there are some asylum seekers who are waiting judgement on their application. The government pays for someone to maintain their garden and clean their windows, but they won't give any help to my granddad.

This is just one small example of many injustices going on in my country right now. I want these people out, so that funds can be redirected towards caring for people who have always lived here, and worked, and fought in wars.

Next election, I am going to vote for the BNP, who are the ONLY party who have said they will correct such injustices.

Does this make me racist?

I had a dream I was in someone's home and I found and picked up a folded newspaper. There was an advertisement circled, within which there was a phone number. I forced myself to memorize the number (though I forgot the area code). What could this mean?

I've been puzzled because of the muslims, everything we do is make them comfortable, giving them rights and on top of it we are hammering down Christianity at such a fast pace so we don't offend the so-called minorities (I think the english are the minority in their own country now). If you are living in another country you have to adapt to that country's lifestyle. The other day a muslim teacher (teaching english) was dismissed because she was wearing the veil. It bloody makes sense that if a kid doesn't see your mouth moving, the kid won't be able to copy and learn the language. It's something you just don't do. I don't feel sorry for the teacher, she should have had the brains to decide and teach something else, but not the language specifically.

If someone has gone above and beyond for you (meaning something that not many in this world would do), what kind of gift would you get her?

ok, i don't mean this in any rude or offensive way
doesn't bother you that you do not get to celebrate Christmas?
I mean do you ever feel that you are missing out on something totally fun? What do you all do on Christmas? Or is that Adam Sandler song lying?

I wrote a letter to Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia and former yugoslavia but his secretary never wrote back to me neither himself. Is it because he doesn't want to receive any fan mail?

"To Moses We [Allah] gave nine clear signs. Ask the Israelites how he [Moses] first appeared amongst them. Pharoah said to him: 'Moses, I can see that you are bewitched.' 'You know full well,' he [Moses] replied, 'that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has revealed these visible signs. Pharoah, you are doomed.'"

"Pharoah sought to scare them [the Israelites] out of the land [of Israel]: but We [Allah] drowned him [Pharoah] together with all who were with him. Then We [Allah] said to the Israelites: 'Dwell in this land [the Land of Israel]. When the promise of the hereafter [End of Days] comes to be fulfilled, We [Allah] shall assemble you [the Israelites] all together [in the Land of Israel]."

"We [Allah] have revealed the Qur'an with the truth, and with the truth it has come down. We have sent you [Muhammed] forth only to proclaim good news and to give warning."

[Qur'an, "Night Journey," chapter 17:100-104]

My Username up until 2 minutes ago was YID ARMY... (as i am a spurs fan) However i received an answer from a jew saying that i was being very offensive for using the word yid and it is as bad as calling a black person a n*gga.. I am the most unracist person and i was quite shocked to receive this answer.... Do all jews agree that it is an insult or is it ok that spurs fans are embrassing their jewish heritage......

Serious answers please no racist ones!

Why do so many non-Christians dispel all of Christianity, because some Christians may be overzealous or too judgemental ??

I'm really wondering the 'logic' behind this stand.

I'll wait for and respect your answers, but I'd like to leave you with one last thought. . ... ... . .Christians are people. . .. .. People make mistakes. Thank you.
