I'll try that...i'd have a go at any food...you can always spit it out after all.
Havng said that...frogs legs and snails are out...oops does that make me a racist again?
Hating the French...racism or a 'koltural ting'....
Personally...I think its justified this time!!
Why - have you tried them?Zampa said:
The food thing doesn't, but that question does. It's a time-honoured technique of racists to make daft associations with questions along those lines, hoping to make the whole issue of racism seem trivial and pointless, hoping to produce so many non-racist examples of not liking strange/foreign/different things that they can then get away with the real thing.
You can keep that up, hoping that it will work here, and join the club of stupid racists, or you can give it up, and have the guts to admit that you are a racist.
Your choice.
But total levels of immigration are different to multiculturalism - We already are multicultural, and we can either like it or spend our lives getting annoyed because the local library has posters up with some Urdu writing on, or because we can see a Mosque from our house, or even because there's an Italian restaurant nearby. Personally speaking, I can't think of any harm that living amongst people of other cultures has done me, but I guess we all have different experiences.
With regard to when the UK is full, I don't know, and I suspect no-one else does either but at the moment I would say we were poorly distributed rather than overcrowded, and that could be solved in a number of ways. Holland has over one and a half times the population density of the UK and that feels fairly spacy to me too. We are at the top end of European population densities, but being sparsely populated isn't necessarily a good thing either.

I agree Richardp
Something I find particularly entertaining is when joe-90 uses the phrase "you people". Like the whole forum is against him. I'd like to hear it again and again and again. Oh - we already have.
I dunno whether this is the same for you Richardp, but I've noticed two things about me and racism:
1. I've never been called racist;
2. If I was, I would be bemused, and only faintly so. It seems that only racists have a violent reaction to being labelled as one

Preventing people gaining access to the UK on account of their race is ( according to the LWL in here) racism. We are overcrowded already. If we can't do what we have to do with 60,000,000 then we can do without.
Problems never arise in times of growth and prosperity - but wait until a year or two down the line when the economy crashes and Brits are losing their jobs and homes - that's when the poo hits the fan. That's when the Pole is seen as the guy taking jobs away from the Brits. It's all Hunky Dory at the moment - but it won't stay that way.
