Hello there! This is my first discussion on myLot and I thought I'd ask if anyone comes from my neck of the woods. I'm from a place known as the Black Country in the West Midlands, England. I was wondering if anybody else lives in...

gsworld I am English and I would like to feel immensely proud, but don't at the moment. I feel we have lost out identity because everyone speaks English and every single nationality of the world (in large numbers, not minorities) live in England.

gsworld Interesting, well thought out comment. I probably agree with you on the whole, and, without being offensive or stereotypical of the French, I did find them on the whole to be quite rude / arrogant. I was in Brittany at the time - perhaps the arrogance is a...

Is the youth of today as polite and well mannered as in the past. I believe, like many cultural and traditional values, manners are being lost in this modern world of technology. What is your opinion? I was taught to open doors...

gsworld Manners and kindness go a long way - it's great to see appreciation and also to feel appreciated. However, I can see your point quite clearly these days. Anti-Social-Behaviour-Orders (or ASBOs as they are delightfully known) are given to those who are...

what Do u think about the Jade and Shilpa incident in Big Brother? Do u think Jade is just a symbol of racism against Asians in Europe? And there are many more like her?

gsworld Hear hear! I can't help but feel, however, that Shilpa jumped to the racist conclusion straight away. Given, imitating an accent in a way that may be deemed offensive could be seen as an insult to one's culture, and thus become a racist act. However, Shilpa...

gsworld That's an interesting point (eliminating desire eliminates suffering). I think human nature dictates that you desire things - who doesn't like food? We need food to survive, and so surely we want food? The point lends itself to hypocriticism - if you aren't...

Some parents pick thru their kids stuff with a fine tooth come. Is it right? Should their kids have some privacy? The parents yell at us to respect their privacy, why cant they respect ours?

gsworld It's all a question about age. I think if you're old enough to have relationships (whatever the relevant law is depending on location), then privacy should definitely be respected. It's a bit embarassing to be questioned about relationships by parents, so...

gsworld Wow that is drastic. I am 17, nearly 18, but would never think that my parents were that strict. I think that's a bit over the top, maybe she should have asked beforehand, but I could understand why she wouldn't because of the strict rules. I think a bit of...

gsworld I think that it is in perfect order to pray for as many things as you feel necessary. God is testing you throughout your life, and I think praying, though there is an obvious hierarchy, should be like a discussion. Everyday I thank God for protection (myself,...

gsworld LOL! This reminds me of some English language / literature task we were doing, and we were trying to spot facts and opinions. It was agreed, after a bit of arguing, that it's a fact that one's feet weren't designed to be encased with an outer layer!
