Going through the change means going through the female menopause

But of course you maybe a sad racist, but you already know what and who you are.

ah but you are in the circle of "better people". you are now speaking of chavs who live with other chavs, and the foreign chavs aren't your educated working people. they're the uneducated refugee guys dippping into the same cookie jar and demanding the cookies be lactovegan halal. see now we are taking of two different tiers of society. been trying to explain this a long effin time but you goldilocks don't seem to get it. you get different responses from the different tiers of society... some of them are the same. but as onkko says he doesn't live in a "mansion" and probably in his pub he only sees the kebab guys playing the poker machine and the occasional band of estonian workers getting ratarsed. we got a couple indian blokes in the village - nobody ever gives them any racist crap as they're "one of us" even the guy is running a quite succesful business and has a flashy car... attitude, its all in the attitude...

Ah, your failure again is to separate antstar the person and antstar the immigrant.

Odds are, I got nothing against you as person. Or most others in this forum. Not on personal level. And since personal contact is personal, I behave along my personal dislikes and likes in it.

Then there is the general concept of immigrant. This is the group I have problem with. Their gilded arses and assupmtions and expectations and desire to be appeased by unwashed barbarians of this faraway land.

That is the group that needs shakedown. It is where seeds for future problems lay, and partially where seeds of current problems lay.

And in the end, I do not have problem with immigrants either. But I do have huge problem with, and I have said this many times, unintegrating immigrants. Ones that come up with excuses not to learn to speak and behave in way this country speaks and behaves. Some do not even bother with excuses. Some go as far as expect finns to change themselves/their country for immigrants.

Is learning finnish going to be easy? Most likely not. So? Is it excuse not to put real effort to it? Work to learn it?

Not in my book.

How you learn, that is up to you. Whatever method works for you, as long as results are reached.

Now thats more like it Tiwas.... a reasoned, well thought out post! And one that i agree with, but we get good and bad with immigrants and Finns alike.

Yeah, add that to the list. i have many failings in life, i also do not really see myself as an immigrant, just someone who is on a journey and at this present time i am residing in this pleasant country.

Of course one have to feel accepted to be happily living. My message to new faces is that average immigrant is not represented by antstar, Travmies etc. It is just that we don't get those "bad apples" in this forum. They are scared away from here, not necessary from Finland, by the likes Tiwas and Onkko (and all the others I suppose). By bad apples I mean for example those asking how to get finnish wife and how to get RP, those who come just to exploit our social security or to get free education, those who come to beg here and demand roof over their head (okay, it was finns doing the demanding in this case)...

I still think this forum needs all kinds of people, because stereotypes only go so far and although are based on reality, they are not reality. Experiences vary and IMHO it is best to have as many opinions as possible. Not all are going to be nice and encouraging, but that is life.

Ok Upphew, good post, and explaining things this way in a reasonable format would get a better response from me or others. Of course you want the best for your country and i do also as i am now a tax payer here and i don\t want to see my money wasted on scavengers. Thether or i like it or not i am now attached to Finland because my son is half Finnish so i do also have responsibilities to yours and his country. BUT some honest people have come here and have suffered abuse for no reason other than meeting a bad apple on a bad day, and they have left with a bad image and may possibly pass that image on.

Well, one solution is that ever time I get a rude comment I will slap a Finn around the earhole the next time I go to the UK and when the ask why, I will tell them "That's from Tiwas, Onkko, or Hank W from the Finland forum" Ole hyvä
