]]> Comment on The birds and the bees haven’t been straight with us by Rolnie http://www.blacknetworkinggroup.org/2009/04/20/the-birds-and-the-bees-havent-been-straight-with-us/comment-page-1/#comment-1883 Rolnie Thu, 03 Mar 2011 11:23:28 +0000 http://www.blacknetworkinggroup.org/?p=429#comment-1883 Thanks for bringing this to some people's notice who are sturbonly just refusing to accept that homosexuality does exist and fail to accept reality of the truth. If it does exist among birds,bees and animals then how about among humans. Most people dont get satisifaction from sex simply because they dont love the people they have it with and it is not at all common to find couples who are heterosexuals who will love one another forever like the homos hence there are as many breakages in hetero relationships as in homo relationships. Take a small look at any one that you know has been homo in your area and their love life. There is no doubt homo creatures are passionate, kind, they poccess all the good qualities that a perfect creature can pocess on this planet. Please this arcticle http://www.blacknetworkinggroup.org/2009/04/20/the-birds-and-the-bees-havent-been-straight-with-us/ has to be sent to most African states that are against homosexuality (No wonder some of them have it secretly though they dont want to declare).

]]> Comment on Lord Avebury calls for fairer Gypsy and Traveller policies by BNG http://www.blacknetworkinggroup.org/2010/04/13/lord-avebury-calls-for-fairer-gypsy-and-traveller-policies/comment-page-1/#comment-1728 BNG Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:09:25 +0000 http://www.blacknetworkinggroup.org/?p=706#comment-1728 Thankyou Juan for your comments. Your sentiments are appreciated. You must understand however that Gypsies have co-existed with House-dwellers for hundreds of years already. Discussions between the parties have been going on as long as that. You will find many links on this site to Gypsy and Traveller websites and organisations. We think that House-dwellers owe themselves the time to research the needs of this UK community. We have already suggested: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20080802212237/http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/pariah-contents.htm" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20080802212237/http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/pariah-contents.htm</a> We heard a story which we feel evocative of the issues. Of a grandfather living the traditional way in a caravan who had his medals (won for bravery during World War 2) confiscated by hostile policemen. Until they were forced to offer to return them some considerable time later. But only if he went to the Police Station to collect them. Their initial reasoning was that the medals must have been stolen; until they found through official channels that they belonged to the Gypsy. Thankyou Juan for your comments.

Good morning,
Is there any way that We can bring, giorgios and gypsies all together, ? well if this is the case, let’s get into the problem, and let’s here a discussion between the parties and try to coexist meanwhile find a solution.

First we do have jobs and see around 60% of our income taken in taxes just like anybody else in the UK. We see that you know nothing of the Gypsy community otherwise your comments would be simply insane. The community has the highest rate of infant mortality, the lowest average life expectancy, the lowest rate of literacy and the lowest per capita income of any UK citizens. We say this to suggest that you understand that gypsies have to work twice as hard to "stay in the same place" as housedwellers. Gypsies in business for instance do not tell people they are gypsy. Their experience tells them that would be a good way to lose customers. We must advise you that it's gypsies that do not have houses that try to develop land in the way you complain of. We would also like to remind you that whereas 90% of house dwellers planning applications are agreed, 90% of gypsy applications re turned down. This in our experience fits perfectly with the prejudice, discrimination, alienation & violence experienced by the gypsy community perpetrated by house dwellers. We suppose that in other contexts you may talk about an Englishman's home is his castle. This obviously doesn't apply equally to all uk citizens in your world. We wish you luck in making friends and would suggest that learn more about gypsies (and perhaps other British people) before sounding off. Use our handy search engine to look for "the Pariah Syndrome" article on our site. It may help you to get things in perspective. Well fadsf@hotmail where do we start?
