    "if you want to be treated as equals, than treat others as equals and get over your pathetic grudges"


    Thats my whole point why worry about what someone else is doing and stay on your game and a step head and you will be allright.

          No, i think you understood me... you should not have to learn another language. If you move to a foreign country, THEN learn another language. If someone moves here they should learn english. Simple as that, and if they can't.... well, they wont be able to succeed. It's like being a telemarketer without a telephone.

          I'm in Canada and we're alot more lenient than the US, belive me... I've seen street signs in chinese/punjabi and i think it's absolute bullshit. It's also federal law that every product must have french on it.... FRENCH?!?! who the fuck speaks french... oh well

              Man, I dont mean to come off as rude, but if you're applying for a job at best buy.... why the fuck are you on this board? Maybe you were over qualified? or arrogant?

              employers look at more than your technical knowledge and your marks...

But they gave that guy that job for some reason. so what he spoke broken english. They must of seen something in him they didnt see in you.

                      im not 18 anymore. i was applying to get threw school. better that then mcdonalds. i was asking for min wage so overqualified doesnt mean anything. and no, not arrogant. and yes, i understand what employers look at. rather than paying someone to teach that guy, they could of just threw me in the position and let me goto work. maybe it had something to do with the people my buddy told me kept complain about to his manager. theyd walk in an see %75 whites working and that was unacceptable.

                              Or they saw you as in-experienced in the workplace?...

                              Overqualified means alot, if an employer doesnt think you'll stick around for long, they will not hire you.

                              No matter how much you know, they will still have to train you... and for the company, time is money. They'd rather invest in someone that they know will stick around for years.

                                            Not sure what you are talking about? I was referring to colonisation. But if you are talking about a *part* of Australia where Whites are minorities you might want to visit this town:

                                            http://www.fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au/...97&iNavCatID=1

                                            Cabramatta is less than an hour from central Sydney and is Australia?s most multicultural suburb. More than 75 per cent of Cabramatta?s residents were born overseas and 80 percent speak more than one language. Today, it is famous for capturing the colour and character of Asia but, in the past, it was German, Italian and Yugoslav migrants who established this individual and energetic neighbourhood.

                                            Or else visit the neighbouring town where I grew up:

                                            Fairfield City is known as one of the most diverse cities in Australia, with 133 nationalities represented and over 70 languages spoken, and continues to have a large proportion of newly arriving migrants settling in the area.....

                                            (P.S Much of Western Sydney can give you similar numbers. Perhaps only Bankstown will be as extreme as Cabrammatta, but Auburn, Canley Vale, so on and so on can give you very similar results.)

                                                    yes i gotta agree with you on this. Anyone who bitches about anything with race should stand back and look in the mirror there selfs. They are a part of the problem not part of the solution.

                                                        So MULTICULTURALISM ain't too bad, eh?

                                                        http://www.fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au/...97&iNavCatID=1

                                                        Cabramatta is less than an hour from central Sydney and is Australia?s most multicultural suburb. More than 75 per cent of Cabramatta?s residents were born overseas and 80 percent speak more than one language. Today, it is famous for capturing the colour and character of Asia but, in the past, it was German, Italian and Yugoslav migrants who established this individual and energetic neighbourhood.

                                                        Or else visit the neighbouring town where I grew up:

                                                        Fairfield City is known as one of the most diverse cities in Australia, with 133 nationalities represented and over 70 languages spoken, and continues to have a large proportion of newly arriving migrants settling in the area.....

                                                        (P.S Much of Western Sydney can give you similar numbers. Perhaps only Bankstown will be as extreme as Cabrammatta, but Auburn, Canley Vale, so on and so on can give you very similar results.)

                                                          Just because I piqued your racist tendencies awhile back is not an excuse to hate, bansheelinks.

                                                          You should really move on.... Its good for you. Let go, buddy.

                                                                                  So MULTICULTURALISM ain't too bad, eh?

                                                                                  LOL! You want to know the honest truth? I study a criminology degree over here at University, and we had a ranked member of the Police force come out to talk to us. While he was answering questions we got on to the topic of the areas with the highest crime rates. According to OFFICIAL police statistics number 1 is Fairfield, number 2 is Bankstown and number 3 is Auburn. All of these areas are more than 50% non-White.

                                                                                  I was going to mention this in my post just before, but I didn't really think people would find it relevant. I don't even find it all that relevant. The issue for me is not so much how much crime they commit, or how filthy they make an area look, but rather the issue for me is the slow death of Western nations and Western culture. 50-100 years from now numerous European countries will not maintain their majority indigenous populations. Britain, Holland, France on current trends will end up with majority non-Indigenous populations.

                                                                                  Now, whilst to some of you this may not mean shit, to me it is quite shocking. Why should ANY indigenous population (Black, White or Yellow) be expected to make such an accommodation for immigration? Or else risk being labeled as a racist, bigot or some other keyword. I try to look at things as fairly as possible, and I am not the kind of person to condom something on one hand and not on the other simply because of race. No ethnicity should be faced with such a situation, and any that have (including those of Australia) have been very disenfranchised.

                                                                                  (btw, Cabramatta on numerous occasions has also been name the 'official drug capital of Australia' in the media and the like. Although I think this is a bit of an overreaction, it is still not that far off.)

                                                                                      Or think that maybe the low income area's are all these people can afford, because they are stomped out everywhere else by soceity. Poor people commit crimes and get caught... when rich people do, they can afford to make it go away.

                                                                                      That's the only difference.

                                                                                              I can see Papichulo being just like the Dafoe character was when he tested the green vapour on himself as his own test subject.............remember when the test went awry and he went into massive convulsions? thats exactly the way papichulo must be as he's writing his posts about race. its no wonder he makes so much sense.
