There is a large section of society in the UK that has no respect for the law, other people or prevailing social norms.


An unusally large proportion of those who don't respect the law are from the ethnic minorities.


That's very un-PC but true to some extent. On a recent edition of crime watch, it was noticeable that the majority of suspects were foreigners, many of them asylum seekers or illegal immigrants. Out of 11 rape suspects, 9 were immigrants. However, I don't think we should let the white trash who populate council estate's off the hook.

But it's usually the old guy getting out of line, but yeah, whatever - Korea's great...

Totally agree.But I feel one of the main reasons the Korean man is fairly placid is due to all that agression being kicked out of him in the army.Mind you it also kicks out every free thinking thought he may have had as well.

Last Saturday I had four Korean guys, on seperate occasions, want to fight me, so yeah Korea is most certainly safe.

Of course, it was my fault - it is totally my fault that Korean girls want to talk to me and not them, so once more:

Korea is safe.

What are your examples of Koreans not being able to think for themselves?

I read the figures somewhere- there are more assaults on whites by blacks in Britain than vice versa.


This holds true in the United States as well.

Where is the white Jesse Jackson?

Michelle, Sandra, and Margret were born in the States, so irrelevant.
