you know ... i don't think he meant anything deragatory by his statement, i just think some people don't think.
one year the hubby and i went away. it was to one of those places that includes breakfast and dinner and they seat you with other couples for the meals. we were sitting at a table one morning for breakfast and began chatting by telling each other where you were from. one of the couples was from Long Island, NY ... another couple piped in with: "Are you nice? I heard people from New York are mean." ... sad part, she was serious.

Kind of sad, but kind of funny too. True story. There's this German guy who has been cycling round the world since 1968. He's been to all the troublespots, all the remote places. The first night he arrives in England, he has his bike stolen. This was in the newspaper today, and says a lot about England! |

I think that story is a bit sad Elijah -- but what can you say -- we cannot go around tarring everybody in England with the same brush because of an incident like that [which probably 10 years ago would never have made the papers in the first place]. I know what you mean mehere - peoples perceptions of places and individuals can be constructed from very minimal knowledge. Here in Scotland we have a youth culture called NEDS (NON-Educated Deliquents) their basically teenagers that run about wearing tracksuits, trainers and baseball caps (I think you call them CHAVS in England, Elijah) well everyone has this quaint image of Scotland and its inhabitants - yet we have this problem that basically no-one outside of our border is aware of. Perception. Play NedOlympics Here The rise of the NED: ![]() Last edited by pws1970 : May 10th, 2006 at 05:54 PM. |

Haha I know some people who are from England and they described "Chavs" to me. I kind of sounds like a wigger over here.

Hi guys, I urge everyone that has heard bad stuff about SA to go there and find out for yourself - forget the rumours. Cape Town definately not a city to miss out on - was voted as the 7th best place to live in the world by a 'certain magazine', can remember the name. SA is a top country! Jo. ![]()

Why blame any country??
Country is made of people and people have different nature and irrespective of their country they behave. So blame humans ![]() cody_e, no offense meant; but dont say anything about any other's country. I love my country, no matter what And just to add, i have heard that there are some places in my country, where a person carries a gun while on a bicycle. He needs gun or somebody will take his cycle away. So no-one is perfect, not even me ![]() |
