Just an observation. I am not saying that there aren't lots of intelligent questions and answers out there, but why do people blame everything on "immigration" (which usually isn't spelt correctly).....

nice try shun t. you're obviously blind too, as I rectified the mistake I made in the titile. The past tense of to spell can be spelt OR spelled. What exactly was your point, or were you just reinforcing my own argument. You idiot.

Conjugation of the verb "spell"(we) spell, (we) spelt, spelled. (you) spell, (you) spelt, spelled. (they) spell, (they) spelt, spelled. Participles. Present, Past. spelling, spelt ...

Qui-gon "British people are not committing terrorist crimes against there own :) It's narrow minded and naive to think any different ".
1) I didn't think this was a discussion about terrorism, but
2) You're wrong anyway: this is exactly what is happening
3) There = Their (possession).

the Boss seems to have given the most intelligent answer so far.

You are wrong. There are NOT many intelligent questions and answers here. Not many at all.
Read Dating section ("Does this boy (girl) like me?" is the most asked question.)
Read Religion section (copy and paste from the Bible is the answer to everything there.)
Read Auto section ("My car broke. What's wrong?" is the kind of question you see there the most.)
Questions like "What time did you wake up this morning?" or "What is your favourite color?" get the most answers!
And you want intelligent answers on the topic of immigration? Here? You are dreaming.

I am not racist, but i do think immigration is the cause of many of the country's problems.
My estate has suddenly become a dumping ground for immigrants from Africa, India, Poland, Pakistan, Latvia to name a few. Crime rates have gone through the roof. There is more knife crime, more robberies and car crime where white people are the victims
This is not a coincidence.as i said i am not racist, it the amount of immigrants that are allowed into this country that irritates me.
I get fed up of people who think that because we are white and against immigrants that we are racist. I think the people who are against racism are some of the more intelligent people in the country. They are not walking around with their eyes shut.

i think it's because deep down most people are quite unpleasant but they hide it in the real world where they'd be made to feel like the cretins they are but they have anomnity on here so they can truly be themselves.
it's the same principle as road rage where the kind of person who wouldn't normally say boo to a goose suddenly becomes a hard nut just cos they are sat in half a ton of metal.

People let it all out on YA. Illegals are being blamed for everything these days. It used to be that all our jobs were going overseas caused everyone's angst. It is the "hot button" stuff that pours out. Everyone has some sort of bias.

The truth is that YA is a good reflection of how people really feel. They are able to express how they truly feel because of the anonymity which YA provides.
Most people are racist - and always will be - but in today's society they are not legally permitted to say what they think. It is a terrifying development of modern times

I think it is very narrow minded to not be able to think outside the box of political correctness. If you continue to dismiss all views that are not sanctioned by the television; you are little more than a parrot.

Well if you ONLY want to deal with educated, rational and informed people you are probably in the wrong place. I often find the Daily Mail inspired guff quite funny.

I'm beginning to wonder .......what price freedom of expression see.......... is Serena Williams a gorilla........ the funny thing is that most racists who grow old end up living in a place they created full of their own fears and prejudices well done for speaking up

Yes, there are some narrow minded people on here, but no more than everywhere else. This just happens to be a platform for people to express their view (mispelt or not), when answering some topical questions.
