Look in Society and Culture (General) and there is a question "Do you ever wish you where born in another country?"
Roninja's answer is: "Yeah, everyday. I'm sick of ignorant, selfish and evil english people. Those who blame everything on foreigners instead of looking in the mirror and facing up to their own severe failings and guilty in their own history and present."
Failings? One of the greatest industrial nations, 15th richest, bringer of democracy, inventors of the jet engine, steam engine.
Why do so many people choose to live in this country when they hate us and our culture?
And don't say "Because I was born here", because that is no good. The Jews born in Germany got out as quickly as they could (the lucky ones) when the German state became somthing they could no longer stand.
All those who hate Britain and the British way of life would surely be much happier living in a country where they DO like the culture. It would greatly suit all of us.

It's interesting that people who cite Britain's history as shameful, as if events of those long dead could somehow make those alive guilty, focus only on the negative. You mention some positive aspects of our culture and I would like to add a few more. To the inventions we may add the computer, television, etc. And not only did we give the world representational democracy but also a system of laws and justice, improvements in Education, Horticulture and Agriculture. And lets not forget the droves of Indians we bought here and educated providing an educated class without which India would be far worse in its state of development.
Nor should we forget the English language, the most diverse in the world, having half a million catalogued words and half a million more yet to be catalogued, that give it an unsurpassed flexibility and accuracy of expression.
It is not prejudice to value our culture and neither are all cultures equal. Whilst we should be tolerant of other cultures and learn from them, where those cultures contain elements abhorrent we should reject them. To those who still maintain that all cultures are equal, I ask you this; what of those cultures that practise cannibalism. Would you accept there right to practise this cultural norm. If you argue that that is different, I agree but it is a difference of degree not of kind. Or cultures where parents paid Buddhist priests to ritually deflower their 7 year old daughters? Or cultures where wives were burnt when their husbands died. These aspects of these cultures are evil and it is good that people act to stop them. Sufficient for evil to triumph that good men do nought!

Amen.
I wouldn't live in a country where I really hated the people and the culture.
Even if I was born there, The whole thing about "immigrants" is that they leave the country they were born in because they beleive they will be happier elsewhere. So bloody well DO so if you hate Britain so much!
I don't understand why these idiots live here if they hate it so much. We're not forcing them to stay, not do we want them. In fact I'd be very happy to get them a one way ticket to any other country of their choice (they can leave their British passport on the desk as they leave as well!)

I think maybe living inside a video game may have an effect on the way a previously possibly normal person perceives the real world.
