Xenophobia: Pride & Prejudice - Chapter Twenty-four
Sam the T-man:
@Hooligan: You and me both, sadly - I feel the same about Britain :(
@Ginger: I do try to listen to lectures, but seeing how tired I usually am at the time it's not easy. In the meantime, seems we're both giving lectures on Britain ;)
@Anyone reading Ginger's post on the UK - no, she's not kidding. Things really are getting that bad over here :pale: :-(
AxelVal:
Well, I do still have at least four years of college and one of high school left before I consider moving anywhere. Thanks for that warning though, you two.
steelguy:
Damn. I have relatives in the UK. *worries*
I'd say come to NZ (we have no dangerous animals!) but our immigration policies are really random. We have highly qualified people being turned away, and unskilled refugees being allowed in. And sometimes vice versa. But students are always welcome :)
On the Brain Gender note, I took a personality test once which told me I was 71% female. Which was a little alarming. I suspected I might swing a little that way, but not so far as that!!! But I'm a little dubious, because it claimed "sports fan" was a male trait. Seriously, given a choice between reading a book and watching a game? I'm a bookworm for crying out loud!
Okay, rant over. :)
*Pokes Sadie for new chapter*

Gotta love stereotypes, huh? ¬_¬
Yeah yeah; it's written - as I mentioned to Ari on her own thread I think, I'd had big-time PC problems lately. The amount of times I had to re-install the game got beyond a joke >_< What with that and Uni work driving me nuts, by the time I did manage to load up the game, I decided on actually playing it for a little bit. Heh.. now I really can give those kids an earful if I so need to - or rather my self-sim can, we're all in the same dorm ;) Feels so weird seeing them all grown up... and I'm getting sick of that noogie already! >_< Why is it only the couples doing it to each other, for cryin' out loud?!
Rant over :angel: I will get to it, honest :)
Hooligan:
Yeah, maybe my issues could be resolved by moving to a part of the country where I don't look around me and go, "...You bunch of fscking idiotards." Cause I live in part of the country where they voted in Bush Jr TWICE. Intentionally even, I kid you not. And no offense implied, but I am just not down with that. I am in the wrong state entirely. I swear I feel like Spider Jerusalem sometimes--I Hate It Here.
@GG08: Actually, I've been following Pat Condell on YouTube (whatever anyone may think of the man), and he's been saying about the same things. Mostly he has been talking lately about the problems the UK government has been having trying to accommodate sharia law (!!!) into the legal system. Is that what you were referring to? And mind, I have no problem with Islam or any religion, though I am not religious myself. But I do have major problems with sharia, which it would be entirely impolite to get into here.
And here I was thinking Scotland. Le sigh. Maybe I'll just wait until after everything explodes, it's bound to get better then, right? (Is my optimism showing again?)
@Sadie: Maybe we should just make a country all to ourselves? Us and a bunch of sane people. It would be a first for the planet! (lol) Although you have me thinking Germany now, it's a little strange.
@SteelGuy: Yeah, I heard NZ is nice. But it is also frightfully close to Australia. Tell me, has your country ever experienced the dreaded Rain Of Spiders? I know at one time you had an infestation of hobbits. Has that been cleared up? :happy8:
