Brexit. Why do Brits want Out of the EU?

"Aversion"? More like "wariness." The old joke based on the double entendre explains, "Scratch a Gentile and underneath find an anti-Semite." Often times true, which leads me to believe many Gentiles are only pretending to have lost the anti-Semitism of past generations. As Christianity has proven, take away the clay idol, and Baptize the pagan, and the message of Christ still might not have "taken."

My daugher moved into a I think one would call a Victorian house too - about 100 years old and very charmy.

From Merriam Webster:

Quote:

concentration camp
noun
Definition of concentration camp for English Language Learners
: a type of prison where large numbers of people who are not soldiers are kept during a war and are usually forced to live in very bad conditions

My family and I were kept at the Tule Lake Concentration Camp. The conditions were deplorable. We were not tortured, but lived behind barbed wire fence with guard towers surrounding our camp. Our home was one room of a barrack with four rooms. The construction was boards covered with tar-paper. The wooden floors were not sealed, and during the winter months, we had snow.

I think you would be wise to get over that stuff. Our common human nature has been creating misery for others as long as recorded history. Saul and David weren't particularly nice to the Canaanites either, and Israel today has its detectable imperfections, including the exploitation of others - all rationalized, and many, (not all), necessary for the preservation of the state.

With a little wordsmithing the piece you pasted above could just as well have been written about Jews, and with equivalent accuracy. The remedy here for all is tolerance, and some consideration of others.

It does good to prove to young Americans what has happened in this country, and not to repeat its mistakes.
Trump's Muslim ban proves my point.

And, I cannot tell a Japanese from any other Asian.

Meaning, if Muslims spoke up against terrorism, I'd be more inclined to see your point.

Exclusive: anger at bureaucracy affecting EU nationals drives call to be heard at Brussels summit endorsing exit negotiations

Leaders in Europe will demand that Theresa May respects the right of EU nationals who have lived in the UK for five years to acquire permanent residence in the country, in a sign of growing anger over the perceived bureaucratic hurdles being put in their way.

The call will be made at a summit on Saturday, where the leaders of the 27 other EU member states are set to sign their negotiating guidelines, detailing Brussels’ opening position in the talks due to start in June.

The guidelines were amended by officials on Monday to strengthen demands over Britain’s €60bn divorce bill, open the door to further cooperation on EU-UK foreign policy and law enforcement, and add a call for transparency during the talks.

The member state officials have also included an extra clause on the legal position of EU nationals who have lived in the UK over a long period.

The EU document had always insisted on reciprocal guarantees “to safeguard the status and rights derived from EU law at the date of withdrawal”, but now says: “Such guarantees must be effective, enforceable, non-discriminatory and comprehensive, including the right to acquire permanent residence after a continuous period of five years of legal residence. Citizens should be able to exercise their rights through smooth and simple administrative procedures.”

The row emerged as it was claimed that the Home Office was also trying to discourage EU nationals from even starting applications. The claim was prompted by a new entry on the Home Office’s website that suggests to potential applicants: “If you’re planning to apply for a document just to confirm your status, you can sign up for email alerts instead.”

It has also been suggested that the British government may be seeking to gather data on EU citizens for the first time. Unlike almost every other country in Europe, there is no need for EU nationals to register for residence when they move to the UK, leaving the Home Office without a firm hold on who is in the country. The home secretary, Amber Rudd, has been reportedly instructed to address the gap in knowledge as a matter of urgency.
