thanks. I made it because I am Indian. Born here but obviously my parents weren't. What I described above explains why alot of indian families emigrate. You'll find very few on benefits or cheating the system.
Cant speak for all cultures especially not asylum seekers. But about the majority of immigrants being males, it's because of culture. In poorer countries it's obvious that women are perceived as being inferior in the sense of earning and being the provider of the family. The males are expected to work, bring home the bread, the women to stay at home. That's why its likely that the male will emigrate alone. When they have a steady flow of income, they can apply to bring their family along. I'm talking about families from ledc's living poor and coming here simply to earn some dough and live a little better. This was very common in the 70s-90s when visa's and citizenships were handed on plates
But asylum seekers being mainly male? Very odd, would anyone care to explain?

First off, the due who said the shit about stealing jobs & raping women - he was kidding.
Secondly, I think that dude mentioned 2Pac because, & I think you know this one, Tupac was black. Thus, by having such respect for the man that we discuss him I think dude was trying to say how the fuck can we be racist?
Lastly, the Chinese ain't doing nothing wrong. In fact, you're getting screwed in Scotland, but that's a different matter.

Why dont we have completely naked women on billboards advertsing products.
Why dont we have porn films playing on big screen tv's in town centers
Why dont we allow sex in public
why dont we have naked men on billboards.
are you living in the real world? common sense and decency must prevail!
Kn Whats so 'western culture' about half-dressed women on billboards. Do you see people burning down pubs? do you see pillaging of clubs and bars? Do you see promiscuous clothes being stolen and burned in the streets?
Many of the advertising that was vandalised was removed after being deemed to have sexual overtones of a distasteful manner. It never was about culture mate, it was about decency of the advertising material. Do you see anyone vandalising any T.V stations?

ken, whats your view in regards to what im saying: do you think muslims should be allowed to tear down anything they deem offensive, anywhere in the country? or do you think a balance needs to be maintained and research done into particular areas and locations as to where this offensive material is displayed. e.g. A poster visible from an entrance to a mosque vs. one in the middle of a town centre. How will you judge which are offensive and which are not?
its about decency and modesty. Not random 'i dont like this so... blah blah'
YOu can't have sex in public!
You cant flash you privates in public!
YOu cant walk around naked!
this are all britsh laws. and having indecent billboards follow the same logic as the laws stated before. The issue was a simple one of lewd lustfull advertising, thats without even considering the implications of the objectification of women in all advertising that we get today. Not churches and mexicans and g.w.bush and immigrants and black people and white people and cats and dogs and not forgetting mice, that no one like and would like freedom from.
the british regulator has a rule I have posted before, and it is that rule that eventually brought many billboards down.

Sarcasm doesn't go through the net well 
People who like black people can still be racist against another group. If you watch The Secret Policemen you can see the police hate "asians" (usually east indian/pakistani) but doesn't hate other groups, and the reason they hate them is because they "invaded" their homes. But meh whatever

Yeah, it's part of it..... and like u said above, common sense and decency must prevail!
My common sense is that a half dressed women won't hurt noone. So let it be. And anyway, just because you don't like it you can't expect the world to change....it doesn't happen, so ...
I see a problem with muslims that they jsut ask for respect like they wear their cloths and pratice their religion while not respectin western lifestyle....and I just see a double standart right there. I respect everyone and every religion, but you know, you can't ask me to do something I don't want to do.
If those advertising pissed so many people off, why do the muslims have to vandalise them? If everyone doesn't like it, they are removed....so why destroy them?

Should muslims be allowed to tear down anything they deem offensive?
most material of this nature has rules rules governing that material, as in this case there is a regulator (ASA). Or there may be a council, or some other authority. In shortm, the material should not be torn down but the authorities contacted and notified of offence because of some VALID reason.
When I prtially defended the vandalism of the billboard, it wasn't in the context of complete anarchy. I simply approached it from a angle similar to the civil unrest caused by the miners in the 80's, or the recent blockades at petrol refineries by truckers and taxi drivers. I think that both the miners and truckers caused a healthy level of civil disobedience.
the YSL billboard that I have posted. I myself complained against that and people in my area defaced the image, it was taken down. Should they have vandalised it? Well this kind of vandalism I was looking at from a similar perspective of the truckers who blockaded the refineries.
Should research be done, regarding billboards? well, if the billboards are indecent then they shouldn't be allowed in the first place. What is being advertised has never been a problem, you dont see people tearing down adverts advertising pork chops. Television has strict laws before the watershed, so to ask for indecent advertising to be removed from billboards is nothing new in british culture. They already have laws concerning decency in public and public broadcasting.
