The small pox vaccine is one of the first I got.

Not dogs from latin America. The only foks that like going there are Africans and other former slaves from the colonies.( and they have the right to go back as compensation) Soccer players from Latin America have often said that England is a very difficult country to get used to given the climate, traditions and generally cold way of relating to others. In that sense, I can say that the USA is the same in cities where caucasians are a majority.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that immigrants are treated better in say Britain or America than any other country.

Try being a Filipino immigrant in Japan and we'll see how much you like it.

How would I manage that?


Immigrants in general are treatedvery well in Mexico and Guatemala. I don't know how ell Britain treats their immigrants, what I said was the soccer players who have gone to England from Argentina and Brasil have said that life there is really difficult because of the language barriers and the way they live.

I can tell you that immigranst in the USA in the last 1o0-150 years have not been treated very well. Ask the Italians( The real ones) the Irish, the Chinese, the Asians, the Jews were initially not treated well.

You must really improve your reading skills.

There aren't too many folks from Latin America where I live (In fact, I've hardly met any in Cardiff), but they are certainly growing in number in London.

In all fairness I am sure that England is quite a beutiful country and from what I have read it is quite rich in history and beauty but for Latin Americans in general, it doesn't hold interest in terms of making it a permanent home. We are in general tropical people. I am sure the Brits would also hate the humidity and loudness of our big cities.

Butr there is no need to get into vicious conversation that in the end do nothing to move from strife and haterd here.

Manchester United is champion, yet again.

:cool:

I'm hoping they can take the CL as well, but the race with Chelsea for the league was closer than it appeared. John Terry and Didier Drogba unfortunately injured themselves, so it had an impact on Chelsea only managing a tie against Bolton. I guess the stumbling into respectability finally was shown for what it was...a good run by players and a manager beleaguered by an aggressive media and fan base who had little faith in them.

They'll get another shot in the CL final, but as usual, I'm rooting for the Red Devils. On so many levels, I don't want Chelsea to win anything. I detest both Abramovich and Mourinho, not to mention a bunch of Chelsea players. Grant is a victim of unfortunate circumstance here, although I sure too would like to be victimized with Abramovich's employment and wages.

:lol:

I simply don't like the way Chelsea plays football nor the notion that money alone can morph a team into a champion. I like to think that United represents something more in this respect, not least with its assembly of young players groomed as a long term nucleus.
Cheers, Mate

How come you're staying away? Make it like old times and join us in our vigorous political chats.

You might be surprised to see how we are aligning in terms of the upcoming elections. Palo routinely rips me for supporting Obama.

Football fans have picked a team of the worst 11 players ever to "grace" the Premier League.

And there are more players from ten-times champions Manchester United than any other club, reports The Sun.

A survey of 1,000 fans by Top Up TV chose Massimo Taibi, the hapless Italian who played just four times for Man U, as goalkeeper.

The back four consists of Wigan Athletic's Titus Bramble, Newcastle's Jean-Alain Boumsong, Darren Peacock (QPR) and Everton's Abel Xavier.

In midfield are Man U pair Eric Djemba-Djemba and Luke Chadwick, alongside former Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds player Carlton Palmer.

The strikers selected are Middlesbrough's Lee Dong Gook, Tomas Brolin (Leeds) and Man United's Diego Forlan.

The fan's also picked a manager - Sammy Lee, whose disastrous spell as Bolton boss got him the job just ahead of Tottenham's Christian Gross.

Jim Hytner, of Top Up TV, said: "Taibi is probably the worst of all, but Titus Bramble still got more votes."


Taibi may have stunk it up in Manchester but he actually had a good career.
