I feel sad sometimes reading posts here re: immigrants etc who wants to come in this country in order for these people to give better life for their families back home. It seems hypocritical, to think that the spouses of most members of this forum are immigrants.
Come to think of it.. I don't want to offend anyone, but having a much younger and beautiful spouse really means that it was love at first for both of you...? Or is it the practicality that this country and its citizens offers a much better life than those who live back home.

I don't understand why some people cannot trust the humanity in them. When the circumstances change, would you like to be treated the same?

When I was young, I thought most British expats in my country were loud, white supremacist, who knows better, complain about the British gov't and the weather and complain even more about how stupid Filipinos are, how dirty and lazy or how the gov't run by the politicians...

NOW, I am keeping an open mind and I was proved wrong. Not ALL, Romanians or Filipinos etc whatever the nationality who migrates to different countries wants to rob or takes advantage of the economy. And not all young and beautiful spouses are gold diggers. They just want to have a better life, even that means kissing the husband who is old enough to be the father or grandfather (Sorry, if I sound offensive)

With NSA leaks etc, the people should be aware by now if who runs the show. Not the damned migrants who come here and wants to give their family back home a better life.
