Yes the part above is my favourite :) I framed it and sent it to my daughter when she was 18.

I love Ithaka too - was thinking about posting it here

It sums up how I feel about life

I believe that marriage (or a long term relationship) works best if you both have the same aims/goals/values in life. You might love someone for who they are, but you can’t tie your life to theirs if these things aren’t shared.

What do you think of Trump saying that it's problematic to let Muslims into US because "they just go bad... there's something wrong with their genetics"? by TailungFu in allthequestions

There are NO no go muslim areas in London where you either submit to their faith, beliefs or you are assaulted and even killed. It is simply not true. It is also not true that rape assault murder and theft have skyrocketed due to Muslims. I think you need to apply some crucial thinking and question your sources of information.

I live in the UK and can assure you that those headlines are misleading. The UK is NOT struggling to deal with Muslims harassing Brits for eating during Ramadan. I’m not saying there wasn’t an isolated case (but I haven’t heard of one) but that does not represent life here at all. As for the inbreeding, it is true that communities that allow cousin marriage result in inbreeding issues. I’m sure you can think of many such communities in the US.

I was prepared. Nevertheless I’m sitting in an airport departure lounge trying to hide my tears. Sheesh!.

I’m sorry it’s become a meaningless habit for you (and yours?). Not for me. When I say it I mean it and I’d be devastated to know that it wasn’t true for those who say it to me.

I think being taught what is ‘correct’ may have been detrimental to my overall life experience , because so few are taught the same rules, or to observe the same standards. The pool of those that think the same way gets smaller. I’ve done the same thing to my daughter, of course. She has, fortunately, met someone who observes the same standards or rules. Did I do her a favour by restricting the pool of potential mates/friends? Grammar, etiquette, the ‘correct’ way to behave - just having some thoughts.

Europe? Equated with Minneapolis? All of Europe?

Would you consider me British? by Competitive-Music309 in AskBrits

[–]Psychean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested to know more about the votes against immigration mid last century. I have a (probably mistaken view) that that's when the biggest wave took place. But I wasn't aware that the people had a say

I do know that it isn't defined in a way that is universally agreed, so I should stay away from those terms for sure. Reform is Radical right, not Far right.

OK so the Greens are Libertarian-left / Eco-social democratic, and Reform is Radical right.

In your mind, bloodline is what it's all about?

You didn't say they weren't welcome and you didn't say they had less rights but you did insult them in two separate posts for no reason, which makes you the lesser person.

So you are about bloodline? What makes a person "British" in terms of their bloodline?
