why is it that if we were to go to another country we have to obey their rules and customs,and we get no help.But every other race can come to our country and make us change our history and culture,e.g stop xmas at schools etc.also our government looks after them better then our own.i beleive that is so wrong,we should look after our own first.

Lilly livered politicians and too many people who have no pride in themselves or their country, won't stand up for our culture and beliefs.
I personally find it interesting to participate in and often enjoy what other cultures have to offer.... eg.foreign food; Chinese New Year/ Greek weddings/ Italian Festivals; etc. Most of us are quite happy to see these events celebrated within our country and culture.
Foreigners who 'choose' to be offended by the culture of the country they choose to inhabit, show a lack of respect and gratitude. This is not the type of immigrants we should accept.
We need to take pride in ourselves and not allow the dumbing down of our own culture. I think that mostly we welcome diversity, which adds a richness to our society, but not when our codes of conduct are criticised and claimed to be offensive. They should learn to tolerate, as we may, some of their customs. No one is right or wrong, just different. Who makes them judge and jury? We choose what we believe, and take no interest or offense in what we choose not to believe, so long as it is not harmful or contrary to our legislative laws.
I really do think, foreigners should mind their own business, and if they cannot, then go and live somewhere else.
