[QUOTE=Sluggy;39449145]Very funny, but I've taken shits more respectable than Romania[/QUOTE] It appears that the nerve endings in your buttocks region are sending out a particularly strong pain signal.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;39453108]people say we're the most liberal site they've been to, ha[/QUOTE] Pretty damn liberal compared to America
[QUOTE=Bl4ckDmon;39559492]:words:.[/QUOTE] It's not racist/xenophobic to say that immigration is a problem, I don't think anybody could debate that here. It's racist/xenophobic when you infer that Romanians are inferior or stupid or filthy peasants etc, etc. You can point out a problem, just don't blame a singular entity or group.
Non of us Brits have anything against the Polish or Romanians or whatever, cause we'd probably want to move to another country if we didn't have any jobs. However we don't have a lot of room over here and not a whole lot of jobs either.
Wait, aren't there shitload of romanian immigrants in the UK

But I have seen people labeled as such for pointing out valid points or facts and it's unfair. I do believe we should have a 5 year lock down on the income of immigrants though. It's unfair on British Nationals and immigrants who have worked hard for years to get citizenship and can't get work, housing or are scrutinized on welfare due to the high volume of people claiming and not having enough work to accommodate a majority of people. Britain is in a really bad state, coming here won't help, it's fucking grim. I'm barely surviving on £160 a month claiming jobseekers (I live on my own, which makes it more severe) and for this winter I've had to go through it with no heating since you can't afford it on welfare, I honestly believe coming here would just be worse for new immigrants since it's pretty bad, and for people already struggling it may make it worse. If the year was something like 1998, non of this would probably be an issue.
[QUOTE=RomeoDelta;39459771]Also, Britain isn’t in Europe.[/QUOTE] Yeah. We all know Britain is in Africa. Woah. Wait, was it in the middle of the Atlantic? I forgot. EDIT: OH! Now I remember. You're one of those people who actually believe in this magical thing called the "Anglosphere"!

Its scary that people like yourself actually believe what you do. I just hope to god you don't waste a vote on UKIP and risk ruining our entire country if they ever get a wiff of actual power.

[QUOTE=The Rifleman;39449015]I love my country[/QUOTE] Why is your country making an ad encouraging leaving your country? That sounds like if Mexico made an ad making fun of Mexico and calling it a shithole. I'm not European so I'm not saying this kit o spite, I just find it funny that a country is advertising they suck

For those uneducated, Romanians are not gypsies. Gypsies just happen to breed like roaches in Romania... Because they haven't been stopped when they could have been. It's too late. And just because we're from the same country, you place us all in the same pot. You can just as well call every Romanian a man because most of the population is male. (Note, most of the population are [b]not[/b] gypsies) [editline]help[/editline] Get me the hell out of here, and I'll be thankful for eternity.

everywhere is piss, Britain is piss, Romania is piss, planet piss
[QUOTE=irukandji;39459585]:words:[/QUOTE] this is pretty racist and generalizing yo you come off like those eastern europeans nationalists.

I just hope to god you don't waste a vote on UKIP and risk ruining our entire country if they ever get a wiff of actual power.[/QUOTE] Math was never really a strong point for me so you're probably right, I'm no expert :v: I just can't see why anyone would want to come here, There seems to be nothing, no opportunities. Feel insulted you'd think I'd vote UKIP though. :(
I don't get all this Romanian hate. My country is full of Romanians, most of them aren't immigrants, have a respectable job, get a fair wage. They're also fucking badasses (at least my friends are)
[QUOTE=Bl4ckDmon;39562468]Feel insulted you'd think I'd vote UKIP though. :([/QUOTE] Its just because UKIP are the only party that actually thinks immigration is a bad thing. The tories are just in a bad place on the subject because on one hand they're trying to be simpering popularists by pandering to Daily Mail readers, and on the other they don't want to ruin our economy by halting immigration.

You basically defended yourself against generalizing against Romanians by generalizing; "All of us Brits don't have a problem with Eastern Europeans because we don't generalize." (but because ... etc.)

[QUOTE]Half of our women look like Kate. The other half, like her sister[/QUOTE] That is a blatant lie. Every Brit knows that English women are loud, obnoxious, and ugly. [editline]12th February 2013[/editline] Or, at least London women.

[QUOTE=Piciul;39564631]Theyre talking about romania[/QUOTE] romania has more than it's fair share of attractive women... but that's a major exaggeration
Woah. Do Brits seriously believe that "Romanians = Gypsies". Holy crap. I'm an outsider and I know that "Vlach =/= Romani".
[QUOTE]Gandul also boasts that "our draft beer is less expensive than your bottled water".[/QUOTE] cool everything is less expensive because your country is a rundown shithole full of extreme poverty, alcoholism/drug abuse... [editline]13th February 2013[/editline] just kidding. my mates bird is romanian and she's rich as fuck. her parents causually gave them £250k for a house.
