people were NOT hired for skills and experience and were racially and sexually discriminated against.

I used to work at Bombardier transportation, on the shop floor there was 200 people spread over 5 shifts, there was 1 woman not because of discrimination but because there arent many women with the qualifications.

However there was a standard promotion process, you started out as a maintenance personel then if you proved yourself after 2/3 years you could be made a support tech if you pass the interview in the top 8 out of 30 others, but you would never get the job on the first try as its really a queing system.
Then after another couple of years and college you would be a full tech from there it would be another 2 years to go on from there to ethier a specialist tech or management.

But you can forget all that if your a 22 year old blonde girl, she worked for 8 months as maintenance personel then took the place of some one who had waited 3 years for a chance to be promoted, she got promoted first time out then was only a support tech for 10 months and had'nt even finished her college course before being promoted to a full tech (again ahead of other guys who had worked hard and proven them selves) then another 18 months and promotion to the job she really wanted which was a specialist tilt tech. All because she was female and it looked good on the company books and promotional photos.

However they had spent so long blowing sunshine up her arse and not really teaching her anything that she was pretty usless at her job.

I hope he remembers to change the brita filter?

Nobody can really be this dumb can they?

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Until you're 17 you can't get a 'propper' bike (i.e an RS125, YZR-125, CB125R, etc).

Anyone want to swap one of the above for my crappy R1? I really would like to try one of these 'propper' bikes

I had a speedfight when i was 16 many moons ago, then when i was 19 i had a fireblade but my girlfriend at the time had a speedfight (prost) and i still went on that when ever i was allowed there awesome.

However a couple of "rules of the road" for riding mopeds anyway
1, always wear a hoodie (even if you have another jacket on)

2, the optimal riding position is to lower the passanger foot pegs and put your feet on those. Because thats what Rossi does.

3, tuck your jeans/tracksuit bottoms into your socks making sure your nike shocks get maxium attention.

4, when ever your not riding your bike, eg: in a macdonalds carpark make sure you balance your helmet on top of your head so it looks like a armor plated turban.

5, white writing on your tyres is good for 5mph top end

6, only go out in groups of 3 or more. But make sure one of your friends has a real old shitty one that looks like its been stolen.

7, and the most important rule is to try your hardest to be featured on car wars or other police/sky one/channel 5 shit tv and act like a total retard hard man about the fact you were riding on the local green at 2am with a blacked out visor and no rear light even though your only 5ft tall and 7 stone in weight.

Another thing ive noticed over the last couple of weeks this kind of subject there or there abouts seems to be the hot topic on alot of forums i visit (threads not started by me honest) maybe its something to do with the current economic climate i dunno and people looking for some body to blame

Quote from thisnameistaken :

The law isn't biased at all, but yes you're going to get some officials and employers and so on who take things a bit too far and positively discriminate. That's a given. A lot of people in the current generation of 40-60 year olds (the people who are running everything right now) just don't know what to do, so they try to "be on the safe side" instead of just using common sense.

Honestly I think it'll all sort itself out in a couple of generations' time.

Sorry your right i did'nt mean to say the law is biased. I agree 100%

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Our country has made laws to criminalise prejudice. They're in place to limit the bad behaviour of the white majority rather than that of the ethnic minorities.

Sadly now the laws are prejudice towards the majority.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

What when I pass? SV650s, maybe an F800ST if I can stretch. Maybe even a CBR600RR.

If you're looking at buying a new bike though Dan, check George Whites in Swindon.

Buy pretty much any new bike and you'll get probbably 1/3 of the bike's value back in free kit.

For example, buy a Gixer thou' and you'll get like nearly £2500 of free stuff iirc. Arrow cans, Datatool alarms, helmet, gloves, top/bottoms, suits, boots, a cover for the bike, the list goes on

And considering there is 0% finance on nearly every new bike if you look around, sometimes it's better to buy new than used.

Ive used george whites before, top garage!

Quote from mookie427 :

thats the biggest joke about this country. They come in and we are the ones expected to change our ways of life to please them. If they come into our country they should be expected to adopt our policies, our way of life (but still keeping some identity with their 'home' country). Multiculturalism is one big lie, it actively encourages immigrants to keep their own way of life, not integrate in the society in which they live, etc etc etc. Sure it may look good on the surface, Labour's dreamland vision of lots of different religions/races/nationalities living in harmony with each other but the more you look into it the further it gets from that ideal

Thing is mate its not the immigrants that are complaining its the "pc" knob heads in government and local councils/police that are causing the problems.

Unlucky mate, when are you going to do the retest?

It was a serious question.

It was a statment of fact. No smiley needed.

Quote from The Moose :

Is that an attempt at humour or are you just being a twat? It's so hard to tell.

Is that an attempt at a post or just a pathetic insult?

Quote from Becky Rose :

I dont know about you but I am expecting to be spending some time in India next year myself! I wonder if they'll consider me to be invadeing them, stealing their tea and silks, and throw stones at me for wearing a red coat (I may have to buy one for the ocassion).

Dont know about the stones but they might shoot you.

Quote from Bladerunner :

the local population (the indigenous people!) are expected to change THEIR way of life in order to let the immigrants feel happy...

Dont forget about the police in Liverpool saying its offensive to immigrants to display english or welsh flags.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Ok second day of training, went ok. Only made a few minor mistakes, only one fail which was sitting at a junction (when my instructor didn't give me a direction), and it was a left turn only. Apart from that it was ok.

Test tommorow at 10.14am, >_< Scared.

You'll be alright good luck

Quote from Toddshooter :

There are many people that won't go there anymore because of the mentality that you and others from your team show on this forum.

Well thats their choice and i can understand it. You asked to be banned and you have been so what are you complaining about? Ive had no complaints about my admining so thats good enough for me. But this is totally off topic.....

Quote from Becky Rose :

No I understand you've got as far as categorisation Andy - i'm just not sure you realise that not every Iraqi Asylum seeker wants to strap C4 to their chest and do a tarzan impression on the London Underground.

lol.

I do but then i dont think you understand not ever asylum seeker from iraq is looking to come here to work hard, blend into the community, accept that they are moving to a country with different religous views to them. These people come from a place where if you even mention christianity your going to get killed.

Quote from Becky Rose :

On a more serious note what you've come back with there is an interpretation of "immigrant culture". The vast majority of people coming to this country, and indeed Sweden, don't do the things you are saying here.

As I said earlier if you want to tackle these issues you have to tackle the causes of extremism, not go on the rampage rounding up innocents. Sadly, if we all held the attitude you displayed in that post then we'd be creating an even bigger extremism problem thus making it a self fullfilling prophecy.

Yes but you seem to think that i judge all people that come to this country as lazy terrorists. Nothing could be futher from the truth, Im not saying a Indian doctor as the same as a Iraqi (spelling?) asylum seeker. Or skilled workers from Poland/Sweden/France if i did then i could understand being called a racists. 1000's of muslim immigrants in Sweden 90% unemployed. Thats because they go to these places with nothing ........ really nothing no skills no education they cant even communicate all they have is their religion which has no place in a modern western country so what do they expect?

Well yes, if ever want to watch an impartial and non-sensationalist documentary, I always turn to 'Street Wars'.

LOL im just saying thats what was on at the time, please dont take it as documental evidence.

That depends on weather or not your going on your own or if your going with 70,000 other Brits all to live in your own seperate community not speaking the language and making sure you get all community letters/signs ect in English over streching local public services like schools/hospitals and if your going to claim benefits or demand for a church to be put up for your friends, Then when you cant get a decent job because of racist attitudes towards you, you turn to crime then decide that your not happy with the government so go on a suicide bombing campain to show you dissaproval and kill innocent people.

Quote from Becky Rose :

It sounds like there is an aweful lot of tension between the ethnic and native population for ambulance drivers and fireman to come under attack - we dont have these problems to such a great extent,

Oh yes we do it just doesnt get put on the news, or if it does the groups responsible dont get reported. I was watching a old episode of street wars the other night and that focused on fire fighters being attacked by people setting cars alight in a street then attacking them when they came to put it out. Everyone shown weather it was throwing stones/bits of wood at the fire engine or attacking the firemen themselves were "asian".

Quote from thisnameistaken :

My mistake - I read "Norway" and assumed the next country was Sweden.

2 points, first theres nothing wrong with Swedens economy and theres plenty of work over there.

And second sweden is starting to have the same invasion of people from countrys like Iraq.

1000 pupils in a swedish school how many are swedish? 2

Quote from tristancliffe :

By that I take it you mean you want 'us' to agree with 'you', which isn't opening up your mind to the fact that 'we' think differently to 'you', and have a rather different (and, to you, brutal, immoral, illegal and racist) outlook on the whole situation. However 'we' see 'your' stance as being pussy-footed "dare not say anything offensive to anyone at any time" stupidity that is that whole cause of why the country is (and I believe it is) being overrun (i.e. it's not overrun at the moment, but it is becoming overrun) by Johnny "here to scrounge off the state in any way, shape or form without even attempting to learn English properly, or intergrating into whatever society we have" Foreigner.

Stating what we did in the past as a nation, be it Kurds, the occupation of Iraq, the Kingdom of Britain etc doesn't make a blind bit if difference to the here and now. If the fact that England had (has) it faults in the past means that the current people of England cannot complain to the current 'invasion' therefore gives me the right to call all Germans Nazis (which, quite clearly, they are not), and to call all black skinned people ni... you-know-what.

You might see this as foolish, sticking-my-heels-in stubborness, but I have yet to see a single compelling reason not to like several aspects of several policies of the BNP stated much earlier in the thread. I shan't be voting for them (well, I might, but it'd only be out of spite for this particular thread ), and I shan't be joining them or giving them money. But I will continue to see HUGE quantities of merit in some of their policies.
