LOL.... Christians have influenced every nation they have been a part of. Please try again.

A nation's culture is reflective of its occupants.
Im not making a pro-christianity argument here, im anti-religion in general. I wouldn't agree with christians immigrating to Iran and trying to force the bible on people either. Immigrants should assimilate and adopt the culture of the nation they are moving to.

I'm in no way religious nor do I agree with the fact Britain is being overrun by muslims, polish and whatever else have you. Not what you would call a racist, I just get pissed off that they can happily set up a freakin mosque in our country but yet to go out to theirs and preach Christianity will most likely get you killed/in jail.

Tolerating the intolerant... surely there'll be a breaking point? Some crime that they can't bury on page 22 of a newspaper.

Oh and since everyone was poking fun at the French a friend told me this on here the other day, it was a cool story so I'm reading again:

An elderly British gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane.

At the French immigration desk, the man took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on bag.

"You have been to France before, Monsieur?" the Immigration officer asked, sarcastically.

The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously.

"Then you should know well enough to have your passport ready."

The British gentleman says, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible. The British always have to show their passports on arrival in France!"

The elderly gentleman gave the French Immigration Officer a long hard look.

Then he quietly explained;

"Well, the last time I was here, I came ashore on Juno Beach on D-Day in June 1944, and I couldn't find any fucking Frenchmen to show it to."

That is just idiotic. A nation should adopt its culture around its inhabitants. Not the other way around. Culture is an outcome of people not location.

When the majority of a country is not Muslim, the Muslims who live there should act accordingly, end of story.

Or does the will of the minority override the will of the majority in the world you live in? I guess this makes sense to an extent as you are part of the Everquest emulator 1%.

Pretty sure the USA's culture is freedom which kind of makes it more of a melting pot.
