Why is that so stupid?

You would be surprised how many people dont post for fear of the response they will get from other forum members.. and this forum is about the worst I have ever been on for the flaming of other members and their opinions... However, Lana does what she can to keep it civilised, so I don't blame the forum...

Just remember, on any forum about 25% of the members actually post, the rest just read and take in...

Some may stumble accross this when researching their holidays, I am sure a lot of the posts do no end of harm to the tourism industry..

Especially threads like this...

:shock:

Darling G.Man,

What was said to you, that you got offended, i do not understand?

Who's deprived you from expressing your opinion however stupid (as you have describe it) as it might be? In fact democracy prevail here and koukla Lana is doing a very good job!

In actual fact we have put up with such weird ideas for a long time now.

No, i dissagree with you there Sotos.

Surely it would be better to just agree to agree in this case. Or not. As the case may be.

Change the record you idiot. Germany bombed England several times in the early 1900's but do we still go on about it? No, do we hate the Germans? No. Grow up, get a life and move on you fool.

ps Why should you be banned from forum?
1) You always moan and bitch about things
2) You upset people
3) Your aggressive and foul mouted
4) No one likes you.

We have the same issues here in the US. People talk crap about the Mexicans all the time. How they take American jobs away from Americans etc etc. There are jobs for everyone that wants to work. No one is taking jobs away from Americans. The immigranmts come here to take jobs that no American wants to touch. If they will be working their butts off then they deserve to be taking some of the benefits since they pay taxes like you and me and everyone else. Like Kikapu said, cheap labor is a necessity of the West culture otherwise we wouldnt be able to afford the luxuries that we do.


I never agreed with the position that immigrants take jobs away from the folks in the host nation, either. But there are really two parts to this discussion:

1. Legal immigration - where folks come in, get a national ID number, go off and work and pay their taxes, etc. In this case, you are quite correct.

2. Illegal immigration - where people jump the queue to get in, don't get a national ID number, go to work without proper permits, DO NOT pay taxes while they receive public benefits anyway, and then send the money they made out of the country. That's the big gripe in the US. Not to mention that the US government has little control over the Mexican border, which could be quite dangerous in and of itself. There are even reports of complicity at the border patrol to people sneaking in.

No issue with legal immigration - big issue with illegal immigration.

Hope you're well,
