To me this discussion is rather like the Turkish reading our newspapers, and thinking what they read reflects what is a normal way of life in Britain today. (In particular what I call the "gutter press" Daily Mirror, Sun, Daily Star - you know, the ones adorned with hugely inflated breasts and liposuctioned thighs aka Jordan)

And thinking that all British women have illegitimate children by four different fathers, we all live on social security, we are all racist, that we all love Tony Blair. That all women will have sex with any man walking, or that we have no morals. All men stay in the pub til' all hours and drink themselves to oblivion on a daily basis and they are all football holigans.

Judge the person you know as you know them and not on what you read about a nation.

Sorry if this has gone a little off track.................

I did say I had gone off track............. and I am implying that what you read is not always to be believed, I'll go back to sleep now

Quoting vineyards:

I am looking forward to your answer. In other words, I am still listening to you.



Dear vineyards, I'm sorry it took me so long to reply, but I didn't know what to say because it really feels to me like we are not communicating about in these posts. That was the point in my last comment.
I don't know what else can be said here - I understand your reaction to this article, but I also think that you don't need to feel upset about it because nobody here will base their opinions on stereotypes.
