Re: Some Questions (1) Epilogue
by dyfferent
I have no problem with targeting certain segments of the population to curb their behaviour if they are actively doing things that are illegal or harmful to others, such as drink driving, assault or murder. And let's face it there aren't a lot of honour-killing Poles or drunk-driving Iranians for example, so it's not like everyone is tarred by the same brush. Hopefully "we" (and I use that term a bit jokingly as I am an immigrant myself, though nobody thinks I am as my country of origin is a first-world one with a majority-white population & its own immgration issues) will also be smart enough to know that we could stand to be improved in some ways as well. There are things that immigrants do better than the British do, and perhaps your culture can be enriched by this new blood rather than just forcing everyone new to conform (so of course they hang together defiantly instead of with you). It would do nicely to be less isolated and have more of a community feeling, something that has been lost in this age of electronic communication. It would be nice to let go of the rampant consumerism that is plaguing us and learning to value family and friendship more (if not to the extent of setting them on fire) rather than stuff. These are probably stupid examples, but hey, I need educating. ;) BTW I am not looking forward to the citizenship exam. What a stupid idea, have you seen the questions for this thing?
