I am not going to lie, the U.S.A is a great place, but why do you think that people who are non-Amiercans say bad things about the United States, this consisting mostly of foreigners WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE U.S.A!

I saw a picture in the paper this morning showing a veiled muslim woman giving the 2 fingers to the police in Birmingham. She couldn't be identified of course. Some Muslim countries ban the veil because they know it's a political statement and not a religious one. Why on earth do we not follow suit. Has the Government got the stomach to do this? After all, they don't seem concerned with peersonal freedom in general.

I just snapped one of my tendons on my left leg, so I'm pretty much confined in my house. I'm bored of doing homework, reading, and playing computer games. What else can I do that doesn't require too much physical crap?

I live in France and, as from today, smoking is banned in most public places. It will be banned in all bars and clubs from next January. I've seen that the example of Scotland and Ireland is to begin in the rest of the UK by this summer. But has the ban in Scotland and Ireland changed anything ? Are there less smokers ? Has the ban "diabolised" smokers in the eyes of the rest of the population ? Is the ban strictly followed ? I'm interested in the general effect the ban has had. Thanks !

I am scottish and have lived most of my life in England.
when I first moved to England I found that the irish scottish asian and afro-caribean were looked down on by certain people.
I lived in leeds and Bradford and became quite close to other families from different countries .when going about we would be told to get back to our own country and called names.
this was an every day thing,yet our country is not racist,or so the goverment say...
why do english people always tell jokes about the irish scotch and black man??we here in scotland think this is racist,what do you think....

Or are some races or ethnicities known to be worse than the rest? I am asking because I might be interested in a guy from my school who is a different race. I have found Italians to be great. Would a scientific type be less affectionate?

I am a secondary school student of East-Asian descent studying in New Zealand. Recently, one of my teachers at school degraded my country in front of the whole class and kept on talking about my country as well as all other East- Asian countries for nearly about 15 minutes. She is an English teacher of European descent.

She said that international students are naughty and immature.
She went on to say that asian countries are really stupid as they keep sending international students for language-acquiring purpose. She even dared to point out my typical origin and claimed people from my country are dumb people.

As she said these shocking things, my class-mates mostly whites
glimpsed at me to see whether I'm getting red or angry and started laughing.

I was totally shocked, and I couldn't say anything until the class finished. I thought New Zealand was a pretty safe place with tolerance to other cultures, but this experience made me rewrite my incorrect view. Are europeans racis

I believe that Jesus was a perfect man that came to earth teaching about loving every one. and that is was betrayed by his own people and died for every one's sin. I believe Jesus loves every one. I think it is 1000% wrong to be a gay basher. I respect homosexuals just like any body else. I try not to judge people and condemn them. I don't think Jesus would be the person in High School and haning out with the so called "popular kids" or even the "Good Kids" i think he would talk to every one to the drugs dealer and theives to the "Good Kids and the "popular" kids. Lastly I believe I am no better than any one else. Not a gay person. Not a Atheist. Or any religion.

when I worked in New Zealand on a working holiday for Indians I saw that they treated white people much better than asians or latin americans...I saw this not just once, but in other places in NZ that I worked where I came accross indians...could it have something to do with their caste system?

I'm British, and I can tell you that most of us do not like you Americans very much. We don't share anything in common with you and we don't like your people or your president.

We feel much more affinity towards Canadians, Australians & Kiwis than we do with you people.

I think it would be best if Americans visited the UK. You'd find out fast that we don't like you Yanks.
