lets face it, they are really talking about religion, not culture. The drivers licence thing is a religious belief, not a cultural thing and the christmas lights thing is them being offended by the christian religion. I bet the majority of immigrants 'culture' is really only religious beliefs.
If people move conutry, they should leave that country behind. Sure, practice your religion, but if it's against the new coutries laws (drivers licence) or the new coutries traditions, (the xmas lights and 'in god we trust' moto), then its tough luck, you ditch your shitty religious dress, and you deal with the other people religions, they way the natives have delt with yours (by letting them have moske's and shit).
And don't say 'religion is culture' cos i don't belive it is. Culture is foods, music, lifestyles etc, not what god they pray to.
IMO, people coming to live in england, and not abiding by our laws, or complaining about our traditions, is damn right f**king rude, and out of order. If i saw some muslim complaining about our xmas lights, i'd have to try seriously hard to not knock them out, and send them back first class so their shithole of a country,
Life is so good over here, they take it for granted and use their freedoms to preach their shitty beliefs.
If they are living here, they should be seen and not heard, and thats being generous.
And to even things up, if i went and lived somewhere else, i wouldn't start slagging off all their traditions or getting a dodgy drivers license, i'd accept them for what they do in their coutry and try my best to fit in.
I'l prepare my self for a slating, but i don't give a shit, noone is changing my opinions. I've grown up in circumstances and teachings to make me this way, peoples bitchin' aidn't gonna change me.
