Should Immigrants Adopt The Ways Of Their Chosen New Country?

It appears the answer from the Asian community is no.

This is quite appalling what they do to people, yet we have apologists on here continually telling us we should respect their ways.

"Religion is the root of much evil unfortunately".
...so is believing that your country is more superior to any other.

Yikes Answerprancer

You've made me feel like a bystander at the edge of a row outside a nightclub, shouting, "Naaah...leave it...it's not werf it!"

[Answerprancer]

Dah, it's all just blether - I mean no harm :-)

Answerprancer

Thank goodness...I was getting tired of holding your jacket.

[Answerprancer]

[Answerprancer]

[Answerprancer]

[ToraToraTora]

looks like you woken up the anti British chill!

[ChillDoubt]

I was born and live here and I don't "respect British culture and society" - I don't disrespect it either (not all of it anyway).

Answerprancer, then why don't you do the decent and honourable thing and leave these shores at your earliest convenience?
Boris spoke a lot of truth which pretty much everyone must have agreed with as there was no furore or resultant outrage.
Oh and to answer your question:very. 3 times a week.
Why? How often do you take a wash in your tie-dyed t shirt?

Not read the other replies. My answer is 'of course they should'.

[Hypognosis]

The British Raj did't bother adapting their ways. Perhaps this is their idea of 'payback'?

(have not read the thread yet, apologies for any repetition of others' points)

//But hopefully, not to the same standards as those I've recently watched on 'Benefits Britain' and 'Skint'.//

I'm sorry you said that sp1814

[askyourgran]

The British Raj weren't there to stay Hypo, and they still hadn't learned much when the British left.

The immigrants should learn the language and the adopt the customs and loyalty to their adopted country. Alas most Asians are all about themselves they do not intend to integrate much or attempt to dress or learn the language, it seems their religion rules their lives to the cost of everything else. Only the young second or third generation at schools seem to be more westernised, until that is the parents send them back to Pakistan to arrange the rest of their lives.

AYG, alas I fear that Answerprancer has your card marked too!

[askyourgran]

Don't I know it chill, but you have to ignore some things. btw the tie dye is last week's curry

[Hypognosis]

AYG doesn't need to be told so this is gratuitous but supports my assertion that the Raj had every intention of staying put - it was the independence movement (MK Ghandi et al) who forced them out

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Raj

"This rule existed from 1858 to 1947. For the previous rule of East India Company which existed from 1757 to 1858, see Company rule in India."

Anyway, we're just lucky that we're nit being pwned by the multinationals, these days.

Oh, hang on…

[Hypognosis]

Incidentally, archaeologists often argue the toss over whether "Anglo Saxon invasion" was an actual movement of people or merely the spread of a culture, from mainland Europe (like people copying whatever is trendy).

As more people go in for genetic testing, we'll slowly get an answer to that.

Anyway, moving in and bringing your culture with you is 'invasion', in most people's eyes.

[askyourgran]

I think the two World wars were the prime example of stopping invasions. Until Blair got it into his head to start a few smaller ones in the Middle East thereby opening the floodgates, inviting everyone to come here to share our hard earned peace and prosperity, without reckoning on the cost to our own people.

"Answerprancer, then why don't you do the decent and honourable thing and leave these shores at your earliest convenience?"
What a feeble and badly though out response. I was born here, am used to my surroundings and way of life. Just because I don't comply with your own warped view of how people *should* be is no reason for me to leave. Fascist.
