Weak, very weak...
"Guiness is brewed in Dublin. How then can it be called Irish? it is made in Dublin and not Ireland as a whole". |
There's no call for patronizing comments. Two seconds thought ought to be enough to tell you regional differences count. Unless perhaps you think you can judge people in Manhattan by what happens in Mississippi... |

And this is happening the week leading up to UN World Day for Refugees? Way to make headlines, beat up the Roma.
Here's what the Pope had to say--not that a self-respecting Protestant would give a fig:
| Quote: |
Before beginning the Marian prayer, the pontiff briefly recalled the UN World Day for Refugees, held yesterday {June 20}: "There are many people who seek refuge in other countries fleeing from situations of war, persecution and natural disasters, and hosting them poses many difficulties, but is nevertheless necessary. God grant that, with the commitment of everyone, we do as much as possible to remove the causes of such a sad phenomenon. "

Have to say after reading the cited article, a whole year for priests and one day for refugees? Aggghhhhhhh... Gonna take more than that, Padre... more than prayers too. |

Almost two-thirds of Danes fear that the current conflict between the Hells Angels and immigrant gangs will develop into a regular racial conflict, according to a Megafon poll for Politiken and TV2.
Some 65 percent of those asked say that they fear that the gang war will develop into race riots, street warfare and general unrest.
Police downplay conflict
Police authorities, however, do not believe that race riots are a likely scenario in Denmark.
"But I can understand that people are worried. I would urge people to look at what is actually happening, rather than listening to the rhetoric from the various parties to the conflict. There is no basis for the concern that people are showing - the conflict between the gangs and bikers is about crime and not race," says Kim Klever of the National Investigation Centre (NEC).
The opinion poll comes a week after the Hells Angels published its 'Jackal Manifesto' - a controversial statement in which the group says that the ongoing gang war is not about criminal markets but rather a defence against 'a mentality found predominantly among certain young people with an immigant background - called 'jackals' by HAMC.'
War continues
There have been two murders in the past week, which police say are gang-related. A total of six people have been killed since 2008. |

Nine in 10 Greeks believe that the country has reached saturation as concerns the number of immigrants it can accept, according to a new opinion poll carried out for Sunday�s Kathimerini.
The Public Issue survey found that 93 percent of the public questioned believes that Greece cannot accept any more migrants, while only 4 percent believes that there is still room for more. |
Best get around to figuring out "the people" have had enough before it gets out of control. This is going to get worse and worse and worse until it blows up. |

So Julius, what advanced enlightened nation are you from?
It is a twist of fate that had us born one way in one place and not another. Racists, and those who hate on racists need to remember that.
You belittle both Korea and Ireland's oppression and their economic revivals.
I ask you, again, what enlightened nation did you come from? I'm sure we can dig up some dirt on it too. |
