Oh dear. Now we'll get dozens of posts about how baseball is actually a British game called rounders which is played only by women

Baseball IS a British game.

and real men don't take orders from women who should be in the kitchen and real men only play soccer which is really football and was invented by the British who are the greatest in the world at everything except for the damn immigrants who are destroying Britain with Labour and the Tories and Britain is the greatest whatever in the whatever. . .
Yes. Immigration is destroying Britain. That's why 4 million people, including me, voted Ukip on May 7th.

I just want everyone in Britain to follow BRITISH customs and traditions.
But people in their own countries shouldn't be afforded the same respect you demand.

They have a word for that, hypocrisy. The irony is palpable.

You'd understand those words if you were educated elsewhere, lol.

You're the one who brought it up.

No, what I did was tell you in no uncertain terms that if you crossed a line and took things too far I'd be more than pleased to give you your walking papers. You're the one who got all 'little man so I gotta speak like a big man' stereotypical.

Trust me Blackleaf, you are so not an alpha.

No. I just want everyone in Britain to follow BRITISH customs and traditions.
By enacting laws which force people to follow them which is the exact same thing you hate about the laws in the Muslim nations which you wouldn't follow because it's wrong.

Nothing wrong with forcing people to adopt British traditions and customs. If such a thing is good enough for some Asian and Muslim countries then it's good enough for Britain.

So, your position is that Britain should follow the example of countries you despise in the very areas for which you despise them?

Yup, BNP "logic."

I always knew you were a backwards Muslim at heart.

I take issue with the use of the word "logic", in your post.

While I can agree that the word logic belongs no where near Blackleaf or any of his posts, in TB's defense he did use quotation marks.

When in Rome, do what the Romans do.

If other countries force even visitors to adopt their national and religious practices, then so should Britain.

There's dumb, then there's that^

Yep.

"That's so wrong! I just hate that!!!! We should do it too just to show you how wrong it is!"

:roll:

Forget about the piss poor education system, I think at some point medical science needs to get involved with this.

That should be a full stop, not a comma.

I don't know what school you went to, but it definitely wasn't Oxford or Cambridge.

Well at least he's dropped his bigoted argument.
After having his idiocy pointed out so many times, he's likely to have picked up on the error in his thinking. Even by accident.

Corduroy: Seems like a good idea.

And that comment, on the fact that non-Muslims like those American troops have to observe Ramadan traditions in certain countries, got +2.

And yet, when I propose that such a good idea be adopted by Britain, but concerning Christian Britain's traditions like easter, it's slammed as being "bigoted."
