I am sure that I have never been to any country where the ordinary people would not welcome the company of strangers, regardless of their nationality, they are generally too busy attending to the chores necessary to sustain their daily lives.

It is not until the politicians sow the seeds of discontent that the trouble starts, Cyprus being a classic example.

It is a well known fact that the people of Cyprus were among the most hospitable in the world until the politicians created the problems which now exist.

They will NEVER solve the problems because it suits them better not to.

All people are entitled to the same privileges, unfortunately some have to struggle against oppression to live decent lives, these are the ones most vulnerable to the influence of political manipulation, we ALL know it, why do we argue so?, it only secures the positions of the scum that we allow to rule our lives.

I have never met an ordinary person who does not want to live in peace.
I have never met a politician who could not find an excuse for war, (Think about it). :wink:

P.S. I was walking down Leicester Square going towards Trafalgar Square only last week. There were thousands of people hurrying around. The majority were foreigners. So what? This is the contemporary world. We cannot go back.


this says it all.

Eliko with all due respect but aren't the plain ordinary people who call the foreigners "bloody foreigners" in the UK?
Personally I 've been to a country where the locals hated us because as they were saying we go there and take their jobs. As for welcoming our company, well if we exclude the curiosity factor i wouldn't count much for a lasting welcome, especially when they trace "strange" things on us.

To give you an example in Japan you just ask someone to show you the way, and the Japanese guy tells you 100 times "thank you for giving me the honor to show you the way". Well, dare you not know you have to bow a few thousand times in return and you will see how welcome you are.

Pyrpolyser, you are oozing racism once again. You ask a silly question (why all nations don't just open their borders for all?) and you imagine you asked the billion dollar question. For you, it is either open borders or closed borders. A typical monolithic approach that resembles your views on most things we discuss.

By the way, the British society is the most tolerant society I have known. True, the Pyrpolysers of Britain will complain about the "bloody foreigners" but they are nothing but relics of the past with no future ahead of them.

My wife's nan was 92 when she died and only went as far as the Isle of white on her holidays. In her last years she was well looked after by her Indian and Mexican neighbors that looked after her on those daily things like shopping and making sure she was safe. They even turned up at her funeral. Her favourite saying was " You speak as you find". I miss her and her husband a lot.

Oh now we got a wise answer from Lord Howard of England., who just forgotten his red-white-grey ghosts and started seeing racist ghosts around.

The million dollar Bananas ANSWER IS..........




Semi -opened borders. Half closed-half open. Tolerant borders.

Pypolizer, what you illustrate is a matter of differences in culture, if you take the time to explain your position, you will find that you will be accepted and honoured for your frankness (particularly in Japan).

The general attitude, (taught by those who sneer at other cultures), is to adopt an air of superiority and THAT is where friction starts.

Racism is the result of ignorance, it is condemned by politicians the world over, yet used as a tool when they wish to embark on a campaign against another nation.

How else would you encourage young men to march forth and kill for the 'good of the country', unless you were able to convince them that what they were doing was for 'the good of the country'.

The reward for the 'sacrifices' made by the ones who make them is NOTHING.

The reward for those who engineer the situations requiring sacrifices is EVERYTHING. :wink:
