Actually is there a country right now that is not anti foreigner? Things get tough and people get ignorant. It's a given! All I have to do is look at the nuts running loose in the US. Makes me scared to go home. Rolling Eyes

I'm also seeing the EDL in England getting more and more power and support and it disappoints me, being here and reading every morning on the ubahn that foreigners are ruining everything for everybody i can relate to the hard working people that are on the recieving end of that nonsense in England.

Im curious if there are any similarities on the likes of strache and hitler in the very early days......

I think the difference between being anti foreigner and anti foreigner is the degree - if any - a country goes to 'persecute' or 'cause hatred of' a certain race or foreigners etc. So yes to it seems most countries these days are anti foreigner but no to - does this mean each country is the same.

Out of the 196 countries, very few countries are anti-foreigner. Anti-foreigner [anti(im)migration] not the same as anti-tourist and most forget that in a semi-globalized environment of the 22nd century, there is an e-commerce & on-line virtual world as well, where people meet & greet - without boundaries!!

Edit1: Rest of posting - Leisure Reading Only. sent 2 start up NGO as it reads like som NGOs' pro EU mission statement!

Note: TnQ Stealth for the feedback & (Edit2:) Respondin 2 statement only abov, not@luvligh15.

Kavin how many profiles do you have on VVN?
As much as you cannot stereotype, I do agree with you questioning the other comment, but the rest you wrote is just useless drivel. Looks like you took it out of some NGO'S pro EU mission statement!

You made a typo again. You meant 'orang'utan',not orangblu. That would make sense.

Thank heavens!
I am just concerned about your ROW English, I hope your version of ROW English is not rapper street slang?

EDIT: Oh and by the way, I asked if you had more than one profile because your language is very similar to another poster on VVN, hilarious as it is. :) Confused

Watching the video of the Frenchman gave me indigestion. I think we should stick to Shakespearian English.

Having spent my entire middle2high schooling in (Cricket &) Shakespearean English, considered spoilt in an (Americanized) EU- Should I stick to it, might get mugged in Austria for poor sense of humour! like it happened once in London but was lucky to get away unhurt - Thanks to London Police. Credits to French Women too - Good People!
Still, try cracking a joke or anything subtle conveyed as a matter of conversation - hell breaks loose in Austria (Extn. EastEastEast). I doubt Austrians are anti-foreigner but with an opposite sense of humour (about 90%) doesn't jibe. Consequence: Amuse oneself with Wingdings Evil or Very Mad Many talk/spk English but simply can't feel/sense it! & that's frustrating while having a conversation in Austria_ROW_EEU. With my own foreign languages I keep tryin..., well my accent is enough to convey the feelin lol.
