  1. imho you were very lucky not to have your kids taken into care. does anyone else give a toddler a machete to play with?
  2. I apologise if I've caused any offense. It's just when I see the world around me the evidence seems to point to certain things. I suppose some groups are just painted in a negative light. Like travellers for instance, some travellers commit crime and the whole community is then tarred with the same brush. People ignore the vast majority of decent/ hardworking/ honest travellers and focus on the actions of a few.
  3. I think we've all seen the advert on telly for the charity looking for money for Africa. It shows a black kid getting water from a dirty puddle then shows a donkey p1ssing in the puddle. You really think a culture that cant erect a fence to keep p1ssing donkeys out their drinking water is to be celebrated? You think a culture that cant dig their own wells is to be celebrated? 50 years ago people would have accepted that the races are different, in places like India/ the Middle East etc they accept that the races are different. This White Liberal idea that has developed over the last 50 years that all races are "equal" is quite frankly laughable. There's no evidence that says the races are "equal" in fact most of the evidence says the races are not equal. It's about time we all woke up and smelled the coffee.
  4. The Village Idiot, I was a bit bored and found the info below. It's interesting stuff. "And some scholars have reported differences in average brain sizes between Africans, Europeans and Asians. J. P. Rushton has argued that Africans on average have smaller brain cases and brains than Europeans, and that this is evidence that the gap is biological in nature." "Recent reviews by Nisbett et al. (2012b) and Mackintosh (2011) consider that current data does show an average difference in brain size and head-circumference between American Blacks and Whites" I base my opinions on scientific evidence. What do you base your opinions on? Wishful thinking or posters produced by lobby groups?
  5. Wow! a poster produced by the "racism" industry against the Nobel prize winner who discovered DNA. Who is more credible?
  6. in the middle ages Europe had really bad winter weather. The river Thames used to freeze over and they would have winter fairs on it... Having 4 months of bad weather is equally as bad as the weather in Africa... Major diseases? We had plenty of them until we eradicated them...
  7. The next time you watch the Olympics look at the races that win the track events and look at the people in the swim events. Jamaicans are brilliant at 100m track events (did they not win the top three places in the last Olympics?). Is that really down to cultural differences or genetics? Obviously not all immigrants have HIV etc. But would it not be good if we never allowed people into the UK that were going to be a drain to us? To turn the tables, do you have any evidence that all ethnic groups are the same? Why are some countries like Russia and the US able to build rockets that can fly people into space, and then some countries need help to dig wells? This idea that all the races are equal does not seem to be reflected in what I see in the world....
  8. Well the person I quoted discovered DNA, he received a Nobel prize for doing it. You seem a smart person, I presume you know what a Nobel prize is? To be frank I think I'd have to be absolutely stupid not to give weight to what a Nobel prize winner says about his specialist field.... It's fairly well known that races are physically different. For instance Africans are brilliant 100m runners, but whites are better at swimming. Is it really that crazy that the races have different levels of intelligence? Look at the quote, he's implying that our approach to Africa is wrong, if we changed our approach to Africa and it reduced the amount of suffering would that not be a good thing? Or do we just have to accept pictures of starving children on our telly for ever more?
  9. This is what the person that discovered DNA had to say about race and intelligence. I'm not trying to be controversial, but it is an interesting viewpoint and it is a Friday night. By the way this person got a Nobel prize for his work. "On October 25, 2007, Watson was compelled to retire as chancellor of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on New York's Long Island and from its board of directors, after he had been quoted in The Times the previous week as saying "[i am] inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa [because] all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours—whereas all the testing says not really." He went on to say that despite the desire that all human beings should be equal, "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true."[51]"
  10. tell you what, to show there are no hard feelings why don't you name a single African scientist who has made a world class discovery/ invention?
  11. I bet I've had a better education than you. Why did Zimbabwe go down the pan after the Brits left?
  12. wow! good contribution! obviously the taxpayer spending money on your education was a good investment.
  13. it came from the TV debate...
  14. if only we had stayed perhaps places like Africa wouldn't be sh1t holes. There's only one half decent African country... South Africa... the only African country where the white people stayed.... does that not tell you something?
  15. we give £12billion a year in foreign aid... we are net contributors to the EU by £12billion.... that £400 for each man/ woman and child in the UK. Plus immigration take billions in benefits and healthcare...
  16. speak for yourself, I've not exploited any nations. when did Britain give up the Commonwealth? 70 years ago? Nothing to do with me.
  17. 4000 a year.... that's £100 million a year.... have you ever been to a doctors waiting room? If only Britain could do something crazy like keep immigrants out that don't contribute.... but until then we'll just have to complain about benefits and services getting cut.
  18. If I did live in a damp cave I might see where you live! You really think all those East European strawberry pickers pay more in tax than they take out? Lol, you really think those third world immigrants getting £25k a year of HIV treatment pay £25k a year in tax?
  19. it does for my fellow countrymen. I don't see why I should pay tax so that someone can sneak into the country hiding beneath and lorry and get £25k of HIV treatment a year. I'd rather that money was spent on someone British..... Lol, people on this thread are complaining about benefits being cut for the disabled etc. They wouldn't have to be cut if immigrants never came to the UK to claim benefits....
  20. Tbh, I wouldn't mind. If you pay for healthcare through tax or insurance it doesn't make much difference... Of course with the American system we wouldn't pay for third world HIV victims...
  21. Ohh sorry, I thought my sarcasm was fairly good. But I will certainly consider my sarcasm as an area where I can improve upon. Only someone that's never taken his head out of their arse would think some people aren't taking the p1ss on benefits. If the tories do something about them it will be a good thing.
  22. yeah, those poor benefit claimants. it will be hell for them with all those cutbacks, it wouldn't surprise me if they wont be able to afford a new 50 inch telly to go with the SKY package and pack of 20 fags. There must be a charity where hard working people like myself can contribute a few quid each week to make sure they can afford their cans of "special brew"?
  23. If it's a "Black Walnut" it will be worth a great deal of money.
  24. Perhaps, she must be the only MP that has ever tweeted "I fu&&in hate Celtic".
  25. It was a tongue in cheek post. I was trying to make the point that having lots of East European workers in the UK is probably not very good for British workers...
