So there are no issues whatsoever, and you are not in the process of being overrun by foreigners?

Nothing to see here

The loud minority might be more visible than the silent majority but that doesnt equate to an overriding problem.

Every country in the world has a homegrown terrorism problem.
Australia has a muslim community of 2.2%, they have been the victim of terrorist bombing (Bali) have had people make ISIS promotional videos and are vocal on the concern that some will return and cause a threat, are they overrun? no


99% of foreigners in this country are more hard working and honest than the welfare grabbing scum who live on the same street as them.

And Jesus Christ those videos:
A video of the leader of the EDL - I assume you know about them? - no surprise he was unwelcome back then, but what happened once he started to have actual conversations with Muslims? He left the EDL and stop spewing his own hatred
Footage from outside a mosque (shock horror there are a lot of muslims there)
Did you actually look at the first video? they are on an anti ISIS march, hardly Ferguson esc.

Not sure what you mean here. The bombing in Bali Indonesia was an attack against Australia?

From what I remember at the time Bali was a massive tourist attraction for Australians and alot more Australians were killed than any other nationality, the reasoning behind it was also the Aussies role in liberation of East Timor.

did you really post some fricking goofy videos to prove your point?

Based on 4 videos I could make the US look like anything.

Good grief.

Do you really want someone to put together similar minority videos and views of the stupid shite that goes on in American all the time? As engvol said, there are issues, but in very small quantities compared to every day life - and the average english person never encounters any problems with any of that stuff.

I was down in London during the EDL protests last year, and they cordoned off a few streets of London for it, but it wasn't that big of a deal, 95% people were going about their daily lives as normal.

There was a time when people who immigrated to this country wanted to become an American to the fullest extent. This meant that they wanted their children to become fluent in English, become an integral part of the community, while taking advantage of the opportunities provided to them by a free society - they understood opportunity didn't mean handouts! They understood that becoming an American was to become apart of the fabric, per se - now most of our immigrants, and certain segments of our indigenous population, wants to retain their country of origin's customs and ways, which separates us as a country and destroys the whole principle America was founded on. The great "melting pot" theory is a kin to a good gumbo; however, our country is becoming more like a salad with no dressing - a bunch of individual fruits and vegetables that taste like shite together...was my rant to strong?!

There is a reason this country is where it is today and it's not just the abundance of natural resources. It's the work ethic and ideals set forth by our founders. The CULTURE bred success. The people that originally came here were ballsy, tough arse people that wanted a better life and knew they'd have to take huge risk and bust arse to get it. Now they want fricking handouts. They are a burden. Not all, but most. That's why there are immigration laws. They help weed out the worthless turds just coming in for a free fricking ride. I think immigrants should be required to work 40 hours/week no matter the frick what or they are gone!!!!!! Commit a serious crime? You gone. Time to set some fricking standards or we will be a shithole like much of liberal Europe. I still can't fricking understand why so many here want to be like Europe even though Europe now sees they screwed up and are reversing course on many of their liberal policies. Gov't healthcare? Big frick up. They are looking to private options. Welfare? Bankrupting them and creating classes of people that will never work, contribute NOTHING to society, and breed more like themselves. frick Europe and frick the people here that wanna be like them. You want European ways? Adios mf'er!!! Don't let that big red, white and blue door hit you in the arse on the way out.

P.S.-next time Germany is arse raping your new country, don't call. Or Russia. Or China. The good ol' US of A is the only thing standing between those European douchebags and a Monumental arse whooping from some non-tea sipping, men still have balls country.

funny, that is the way a lot of Brits feel too...a huge portion of them want to separate themselves from Europe...it was also central to the Scottish Independence vote too.

and that's incredibly short sighted and typical a-hole-ish american attitude, if only it was so simple.

So?!

And the British are far sighted? Then explain their shite arse public healthcare and current economic situation. Pretty much done to garner votes and give people prizes for keeping them in office. Same as here. Every country that has a democracy is subject to this. If people can vote for free shite, especially if they think "the rich" are paying, they will until the country is broke.

Yeah..we'd help out in a invasion to protect our interest abroad and long standing relationships, but I'd a least like for us to make them sweat a little.

According to who? Everyone here has access to top notch facilities and treatments if they'll follow the proper protocols. The handful that don't and want totally free care? Piss on them. Nothing is free. How much in tax do y'all pay for your "free" care? So...is it really free? I'm all for a dual system like in the UK. The private side is cheaper and more efficient due to the lack of forced indigent care and shitty gov't reimbursement, and the public side is what it is. I just don't think the people at the low end of the totem pole here know what they are asking for. The US public is greatly uninformed/misinformed on how the system really works over there.

So a "free" visit and much higher taxes...not to mention inferior care by a Pakistani national is preferable to a $35-$40 visit with a nurse practitioner or PA who has an American trained doctor backing them up to answer questions if something "minor" is possibly more? Or how bout the truly indigent I give free care to? Or the WORKING poor that we have programs to get FREE care for including surgeries of all types, sleep studies, mobility devices, meds etc..It just require they WORK and do the proper paper work. You'd be amazed how fricking lazy people are and won't even do the slightest bit of anything to get FREE shite. fricking handouts do not work!!!!!!!!

ETA-gotta work for some tax money. Will check in later.

Ha, you guys who have no experience living over here make me laugh.

I'm not going to waste any more time arguing with you, but my wife has had two kids over here. I've had access to high quality facilities, nurses, doctors, all very professional, and most English, and even better money has never once factored into a medical decision I've had to make - walk into the dr's office or hospital, and no matter if you have to stay for an hour or two weeks, there is never any worry about insurance or deductibles, etc etc - you don't even have paper work to fill out.

If I call for an appointment I get in on the same day, or I can have a doctor call me back within an hour.

I'm sure all your internet research means you have more experience than me though

It is awesome hearing a few people who visited London talk about the country being taken over.

London is still a majority white by a fricking insane margin.

Basically 60% white

18 % Asian which basically means Pakistan or from India

13% black which is either Caribbean or African or their decedents

a whopping 1.3% Arabs o nozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Most the SW Asians and blacks have been here for 2 or 3 generations.
