Bird Feeding

[Bigjeeze]

TAKE DOWN the FEEDER!

I bought a bird feeder. I hung

it on my back porch and filled

it lovingly with seed. It was indeed

a beautiful bird feeder.

Within a

week we had hundreds of birds

taking advantage of the

continuous flow of free and

easily accessible food.

But then the birds started

building nests in the boards

of the patio, above the table,

and next to the barbecue.

Then came the bird shit.

It was everywhere; on the patio tile,

the chairs, the table ...

everywhere!

Then some of the birds

turned mean. They would

dive bomb me and try to

peck me even though I had

fed them out of my own

pocket.

 

 

 

And others birds were

boisterous and loud. They

sat on the feeder and

squawked and screamed at

all hours of the day and night

and demanded that I fill it

when it got low on food.

 

 

 

After a while, I couldn't even

sit on my own back porch

anymore. So I took down the

bird feeder and in three days

the birds were gone. I cleaned

up their mess and took down

the many nests they had built

all over the patio.

 

 

 

Soon, the back yard was like

it used to be ... quiet, serene

and no one demanding their

rights to a free meal.

Now let's see .....

Our government gives out

free food, subsidized housing,

free medical care, and free

education and allows anyone

born here to be an automatic

citizen.

Then the immigrants came by the million.

Suddenly

Our taxes went up to pay for

free services; small apartments

are housing 5 or more families; you

have to wait 6 hours to be seen

by a doctor in a hospital

because it is filled with immigrants;

your child's class is

behind other schools because

over half the class doesn't speak

English.

 

 

 

Corn Flakes now come in a

bilingual box; I have to

'press one' to hear my bank

talk to me in English, and

people waving flags are

squawking and screaming

in the streets, demanding

more rights and free liberties.

 

 

 

Its just my opinion but:

maybe, just maybe,

it's time for the government

to take down the

damn bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on; if not,

continue cleaning up the shit!

[big_kev]

Yep, agree with you on that one.

[bj2004]

sounds like racist BS to me.

Fook the bird feeder, lets take down the goverment.

 

 

Let our green and pleasant land be ours once more.

[tiny]

sounds like racist BS to me.

 

 

So all those that replied before you are racist just because they do not want to subsidise those who want to migrate to the UK "en masse" and take advantage of heavily subsidised housing, monetary benefits from the government (tax payers) despite no previous financial input from themselves, free healthcare etc,etc.

 

When we can not preach our religion in our own streets(read the news), when our language is not the first language of the majority of children in many of our schools, and when our council tax is paying for literature to be printed in 15 different languages, IS SOMETHING NOT VERY SADLY WRONG??

 

Racist BS? No just people sick of being taken for fools.

[mumble_bee]

sorry I didnt mean racist BS, now that you've explained your point of view with a more appropriate analogy instead of relating yourselves to human beings and the immigrants to lower life forms... I see now that infact you are spouting Narrow Minded Racist BS.

[big_kev]

Do not confuse racism with nationalism they are not the same.

 

For example I am white skinned european ( to use the race terminoliogy)..if I complain about other white skinned europeans coming over here as economic migrants then there is no way that this could be described as racist.....it would be nationalist....eg wanting the best for my country.

 

I live in an area where there are a great percentage of people of Asian descent ( mainly India & Pakistan ).

These people are mainly 2nd & 3rd generation since immigrating here and speak perfect English and abide by the laws of the land.....in fact most of them contribute greatly to the wellbeing of the country.

 

If i were to criticise these PURELY on account of their race then this would be racist.

 

Sadly too much is made nowadays of racism and most of the supposed anti-racism laws etc actually promote racism by highlighting the differences.

 

A classic example is the "black" guy who will supposedly be the next president of the USA.

This chap has a "white" mother and a "black" father.....therefore he is "black".

What utter racism this preaches when obviously he is either neither or both....he can't be one or the other.

 

The only way to get rid of racism is to stop promoting it....stop highlighting what "race" someone is.

 

Anyone using the terms white or black is promoting racist views.

 

Anyone using the term "foreigner" should not be branded a racist purely because of that.

English is not my first language.

 

No worries, when things go tits up (likely by next Christmas) I can always go back to the father land..........

 

Pity those poor Scots.....freezing to death without any fuel.........

[big_kev]

You've lost me there ?

[seatkid]

Doesn't really surprise me.....

[big_kev]

That was a quick reply.....

 

 

 

Enlighten me....because I am thick... ;)

I would suggest that you are the one with a narrow minded view - ie your own. Is it beyond your wit or wisdom to understand that other people may have a different view or opinion to yours? Why is it you feel your opinion is the only worthwhile one - what makes you the arbitor of good taste and judgement?

I would far rather know what someones opinion is so that I can deal with it than have it repressed and growing more bitter. Yugoslavia is a case in point - for years the issues between the various factions were supressed and hidden - then look what happened the moment they were free to "express" their views.

 

If someone doesn't like Black/coloured/Asian/Chinese/Slavic people that is their loss and their lack of vision - but I still would prefer to know it than not. Freedom of speech works both ways it is not intended only for your point of view but for everyone, whether we like it or not.

 

For your information my wife is black, my three children are coloured. I don't care what colour you are , what nationality or religion you are -or worse what your sexual orientation is -but whichever of these categories people belong to I]DON'T WANT ANYMORE PEOPLE COMING HERE.

 

Thats my opinion - not yours, not necessarily anyone elses - just mine.

why is it worse to know his sexual orientation than his race or colour?

You can take tolerance only so far......I find Homosexuals a pain in the arse - and I don't like any tongue in cheek nonsense either.

[mk2vr6]

ha ha ..... a seemingly funny reply? maybe one of your funniest jokes yet? and yet you dont actually answer the question why is that?

Race and colour are something you are born with and can do nothing about.

 

Sexual orientation is a moral choice....or possibly an immoral choice depending on you point of view.

 

Sexual orientation ( according to the law ) is something that is only a matter for the individual concerned and no one elses.....don't personally agree with that.....never mind.

 

It would be "worse" in this context to make a note of an immigrants sexuality as ( again according to the law) it has no bearing on the suitability of the person to come into this country.

 

From this point of view you may as well say short or tall people.

 

Race and colour need to be monitored as it is allowable to distinguish between them and discrimination is still legally acceptable in certain circumstances.

I can assure you that I didn't mean to hide from the question - I thought I had answered it in as funny a way as possible. In the original piece I intended to imply that I don't care about race or colour but that I am not too happy about sexual deviance (As in deviance from the norm). I am what I consider, normally heterosexual with no Homosexual leanings, unless you can count the fact that I would like to be a lesbian and shre their activities.

 

I am as tolerant of someone's sexuality as the next person - It is something they are born with and cannot change - I would prefer however, not to know what their particular difference is. You can be what you like - just don't tell me about it or how proud you are to be "it" I am just not interested.

 

Now, if you are female and have nympho tendencies then I am of course all ears. :ph34r:

do you not think that those who are not hetero, may feel the same way about those that are??

 

I have a friend who is a lesbian, she gets fed up with the amount of men who are of the opinion that she needs porking to see what she is missing, or asked if she and her friend will accomodate a male in their midst whilst they are busy. She kinda gets very annoyed when all this is said.

Whatever sexual orientation people are doesnt bother me, as it is the person i am friends with, And just coz they happen to bat for the same side as themselves, makes them no less of a person.

Damn.....you didn't give me a chance to ask... :unsure:

 

However I think the sexuality question is really a bloke thing.....its different for girls.

 

Most men get upset/get annoyed/don't understand ( take your pick )about a homosexual male.

 

Women on the other hand see all men as sexual perverts and therefore are less likely to be too bothered about this.

I think you may have missed the point.

 

I said I would like to be a lesbian so that other (real ) lesbians would be interested in me! I appreciate that a real Lesbian wouldn't be any more than a real Homosexual would be interested in a woman. It was a joke. I find lesbianism just as difficult to understand as the other version. Again it is their business not mine and as you rightly say a friend is a friend regardless of orientation.
