Yes thereâs more violence now in places like London and Birmingham but this doesnât just apply to the UK. Thereâs places way worse out there than the UK.
My point was NOT all Pakistanis are responsible, same as not all Trump supporters are racist. My point was same xenophobic tirades you spew similarly people use same xenophobic tirades against East Europeans too. Hate just leads to hate.
It is xenophobic when you start colouring everyone with same brush, in similar fashion Trump declaring all Hispanic rapists. Is Chancellor Sajid Javid of Pakistani decent a child rapist? Shoudl he be deported?
its all about perception... of course many women share the same fears as you do but its also fair to say many dont and are they at any more risk than you? the stats would suggest not
common sence or your own over reaction... i mean yeah the world can be an evil place but by your logic i shouldn't go outside the house for fear of being stabbed by some youth who wants my trainers... it makes no sense to live in fear but yes its good to have some common sense still so at least we agree on that
you make it sound like every man is a threat... thats the very definition of scaremongering and dont get me started on the whole pakistani rape gang thing again because its been pointed out a million times you have more worries about geting hit by a car as you cross the road to avoid someone who has darker skin than your own
Not at all, many women are as big a threat often as men as I saw in secondary school. As for getting by a car crossing the road that can be managed by learning the green cross code just as can women learning to look after themselves on British streets. The Pakistani gang rape thing as has been pointed out to you has nothing to do with skin colour as we've more South Asians from india such Hindus and Sikhs who do not gang rape young white girls. So in fact if I was being chased by Pakistani as you say if run towards a Sikh gentleman for help.
hmmm. see this is one of your better posts i will admit but im still not convinced its always wise to be scared... yes we all need to learn how to cross the road. what we dont need to do is be so scared we dont bother going outside in the first place so might have been better if i had seen a bit more of that mentioned above
@Levin yes but thats not what im saying here... what im pointin out is the world isn't always a scary as the media or posts like this would suggest. its good to be aware but not so good if you become a recluse
so you think i sat at home watching BBC news for my whole 52 years? i live on a street too by the way. live can be shitty and so can people. that much is true but 'mean streets' of britain suggests a version where we should all stay home
'Mean streets' Britain doesn't suggest anything, it's a statement that honestly acknowledges the reality of British streets rather than pretending everywhere is like Albert square. To not aknowledge and being prepared for this reality and pretending otherwise means heading for a fall in which the shock of will leave unable to leave your home again.
im not suggesting one extreme or the other and thats my point... the one you are repeatedly missing but nevermind. its always clear from all your questions you aren't open to any kind of discussion..
This isn't a question, merely advice. I welcome your opinions, I just dont agree with virtually any of them. In your mind does discussing things mean agreeing with others opinions you know to be incorrect?
it means considering the other persons view whilst also giving some perspective when one feels its an alarmist view. to that end maybe being 52 and having experienced more real world does make me slighty more critical of over reaction but if anything i just wanted to say that while things are sent to test us your post seemed like it was suggesting every one should be scared rather than aware
Wankiam, this is a valid point. Images on the news and pretty much most of the information we receive keeps us in a state of fear. Much media is in fact, inherently negative. Including TV, dramas, movies, music.
"White Queen" I didn't read rest of the others in your "my take". I read until the title "white queen". You are not a queen. You are just a typical woman and you are not different than a man. You think you are superior than men. Cuz you are a feminist.
It depends on where you go, same with anywhere... like in the US if you stay on the main street you'll be safe. Yet you might get catcalled if you go the hood...
"jungliy people" that sounds s had racist, you might want to avoid the neo-nazi propoganda. Mace is ilegal here. The theory as to why it, tazers and other non-leathal weapons are ilegal is that criminals could easily get their hands on it. Farb self defence spray is legal but I dont see how that would stop someone from assaulting or raping you.
The world can be very scary and dangerous. Thereâs a lot of unknowns out there. Donât make the mistake of thinking that categorizing yourself or others makes you any less vulnerable or those dangers. Anyone is capable of good and bad regardless of skin color.
One of those brown people might end up being the one to protect the âwhite queenâ from said threats. Iâm sorry things are the way they are in Britain but race wars have never done anyone good âexcept the ones who start itâ.
White queen is pretty self-explanatory. Youâre separating women based on skin color. Iâm sure you have good intentions and youâve written a lot of post that i enjoy, which is why i follow you. This one I canât completely get behind.
The world can suck. Iâm not denying that. But the human race needs to mentally evolve from its need to identify with skin color and come together to rip apart the social issues we have. Separation makes these issues survive.
@Lucky1974 Pakistani is not a race, it's a culture and nationality. I mentioned my experiences, should I not have mentioned it because you don't think the truth is PC?
I donât agree with anyone attacking eachother or name calling. I think the point of us putting our thoughts out there is to be heard and understood? So listen and learn from eachother.
@The_White_Queen your experiences are specific to you and may be common (or not. I havenât researched this topic) but it doesnât define people who âlookâ like those whoâve committed those crimes. By that act we should hold everyone accountable for the horrors their ancestors have done in the past (no race is an exception here) but that wouldnât be fair would it?
My suggestion to you is to keep people informed about whatâs going on but donât let the rotten things of this world turn your heart into the thing you despise. Youâre too young to carry that burden.

Disarm the normal citizenry, import an underclass and give them cultural license. What could go wrong?
@Curmudgeon- đđđđwhat a novel idea... lol
Yes thereâs more violence now in places like London and Birmingham but this doesnât just apply to the UK. Thereâs places way worse out there than the UK.
16: Be a pyromaniac. Might not make you popular with Khaaaaan, but even most of the sand vikings would be stupid to pick a fight with a dragon.
I think thatâs all pretty sound logic. Iâd suggest pepper spray if itâs legal there.
If not maybe get a small spray bottle and put bleach or some other cosmic chemical in it and go for the eyes.
Itâs a shame you canât really own guns there.

Number 18, start a petition to deport all the Pakistanis
You being Polish, current similar xenophobic tirade you're displaying is currently being directed at people from East Europe.
@Oram52 Notice I said PAKISTANIS! Not Punjabis! Not Turks! PAKISTANIS! It's not xenophobic to want to deport people who rape underaged girls
My point was NOT all Pakistanis are responsible, same as not all Trump supporters are racist. My point was same xenophobic tirades you spew similarly people use same xenophobic tirades against East Europeans too. Hate just leads to hate.
It is xenophobic when you start colouring everyone with same brush, in similar fashion Trump declaring all Hispanic rapists. Is Chancellor Sajid Javid of Pakistani decent a child rapist? Shoudl he be deported?
@Oram52 Yeah well, maybe if Eastern Europeans weren't so nationalistic and rude, people would like them.
So Polish people can hate Brits, but Brits can't hate them?
I don't know who that is.
its all about perception... of course many women share the same fears as you do but its also fair to say many dont and are they at any more risk than you? the stats would suggest not
Statistics matter little to the individual. Would a girl who was unprepared be more at risk than me? Common sense says yes if they are unprepared.
common sence or your own over reaction... i mean yeah the world can be an evil place but by your logic i shouldn't go outside the house for fear of being stabbed by some youth who wants my trainers... it makes no sense to live in fear but yes its good to have some common sense still so at least we agree on that
By my logic if your prepared you can be safer and don't have to live in fear.
like i conceeded there is some truth in that but there is also a bad side to scaremongering which has the opposite effect
This is the opposite of scaremongering. This is about taking control of our own safety in any way we can
you make it sound like every man is a threat... thats the very definition of scaremongering and dont get me started on the whole pakistani rape gang thing again because its been pointed out a million times you have more worries about geting hit by a car as you cross the road to avoid someone who has darker skin than your own

If your unable to cross the road confidently because you don't know the green cross code you should stay on the footpath.
If the girl is scared, then the girl is scared. Unfortunately, there's little way to know how widespread this problem is.
@Levin yes but thats not what im saying here... what im pointin out is the world isn't always a scary as the media or posts like this would suggest. its good to be aware but not so good if you become a recluse
The media says one thing, so do governments but it's us who are on the streets that see and here what's happening.
so you think i sat at home watching BBC news for my whole 52 years? i live on a street too by the way. live can be shitty and so can people. that much is true but 'mean streets' of britain suggests a version where we should all stay home
'Mean streets' Britain doesn't suggest anything, it's a statement that honestly acknowledges the reality of British streets rather than pretending everywhere is like Albert square.

@Levin if you live your life based on mass media i suggest you go outside
We all do, we're all brainwashed and affected on a subconscious day to day basis by the images and messages we see.
"White Queen" I didn't read rest of the others in your "my take". I read until the title "white queen". You are not a queen. You are just a typical woman and you are not different than a man. You think you are superior than men. Cuz you are a feminist.
I generally agree Exept with have a Male escort. It will end up like saudia Arabia
You mean Egypt, where if a woman isn't escorted by a male relative she will get gang raped.
That doesn't happen in Egypt, at least not in Cairo. My female relatives and family members always went out alone and nothing happened to them.
I stayed in Cairo, we were warned by the tour guide.
When did you come to Cairo?
It depends on where you go, same with anywhere... like in the US if you stay on the main street you'll be safe. Yet you might get catcalled if you go the hood...
Cat calling is one thing but being gang raped in a public square in broad daylight is another thing.
That almost never happened. Rapists in Egypt usually make it quick because, unlike in the UK, when other men notice they will defend the victim.
When other men notice they get in line you mean.
That doesn't happen
We've had this conversation before where you admitted it does happen.
It happens that girls get raped. Bat passbyers don't help them..
(Don't help the rapist)
Seem like the street in Britain are as unsure as the one of France.
mace.. dont make eye contact and keep those. what do you call them. "jungliy people" away?
"jungliy people" that sounds s had racist, you might want to avoid the neo-nazi propoganda.
Mace is ilegal here. The theory as to why it, tazers and other non-leathal weapons are ilegal is that criminals could easily get their hands on it.
Farb self defence spray is legal but I dont see how that would stop someone from assaulting or raping you.
wasn't me. My friend in Manchester calls them that. I dont know. Then worse case, kick to the groin
What about raid wasp and hornet spray? Itâs recently been recommended in California to use that instead of mace.
The world can be very scary and dangerous. Thereâs a lot of unknowns out there. Donât make the mistake of thinking that categorizing yourself or others makes you any less vulnerable or those dangers. Anyone is capable of good and bad regardless of skin color.
One of those brown people might end up being the one to protect the âwhite queenâ from said threats. Iâm sorry things are the way they are in Britain but race wars have never done anyone good âexcept the ones who start itâ.
Nowhere was race or skin colour mentioned.
White queen is pretty self-explanatory. Youâre separating women based on skin color. Iâm sure you have good intentions and youâve written a lot of post that i enjoy, which is why i follow you. This one I canât completely get behind.
The world can suck. Iâm not denying that. But the human race needs to mentally evolve from its need to identify with skin color and come together to rip apart the social issues we have. Separation makes these issues survive.
... and if I was a black queen you wouldn't say anything.
Youâre assuming that because Iâm black that I agree with that statement.
My skin color doesnât speak for me. I do. And i disagree. You are wrong.
âNowhere was race or skin-colour mentionedâ?; she used the description âPakistaniâ TWICE, so sheâs ignorant and stupid too.
@Lucky1974 Pakistani is not a race, it's a culture and nationality. I mentioned my experiences, should I not have mentioned it because you don't think the truth is PC?
I donât agree with anyone attacking eachother or name calling. I think the point of us putting our thoughts out there is to be heard and understood? So listen and learn from eachother.

do whatever keeps you safe some tines it mite mean stocking up before it gets dark early on many things
If you were given a choice to leave and you took it, where do you think you'd move to?
Alternative: attain such a great mass that you create your own atmosphere. And anything that comes close burns in your own atmosphere.
My wife took a self defense course. Itâs crazy how easily smaller women can get the upper hand on larger males. Itâs all about weak spots and deciding to fight. FYI- will update when my wounds heal :)
Also read the telling a potential rapists youâre pregnant could change his mind. That apparently that stopped the Original Night Stalker once.
I agree. Self defense and awareness are your best friends.
This makes no sense... Shouldn't White Queens such as yourself have bodyguards and be living in Castles?
LOLx10!!!
I'm gonna go with number 1 and number 6 considering where you live and you aren't allowed the basic freedom to be able to defend yourself.
I think those men are acting against their nature, because men should respect, support and care for women.
