Freedom of speech?I just watched a group of islamic extremists on TV shouting "Down with freedom of speech" because of Geert Wilders visit
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Ya, it reminds me of the Baldwin debacle . . . Philippines has freedom of speech in their constitution. An american who also values constitutional freedom of speech makes a silly joke about filipinas, then they decide to ban him from the country!
Say what you want as long as you never ever say anything bad about the Philippines.
Another thing I love about the UK is that we are allowed to voice our thoughts and opinions, our thoughts and complaints. If we feel government is corrupt, eg. the expenses fiasco - we complain about it and it gets put on TV and frontpage news!
Another thing I love about the UK is freedom of information act. If you want to see how much money Gerry Adams, or Boris Johnston or any other politician claims, then you can access that easily as a member of the public. This is compared to countries who don't have this openness and transparency where they know their politicians are stinking rich, they don't know just how much!
Anyway, that's just a small contribution from me!
Before I go, i'd like to mention something else. A while ago a friend of mine wrote 2 articles on the internet for a magazine. One was "why I love the Philippines" and the other was something like "what's wrong with the Philippines" . . . well, the guy got harrassed and abused in the comments section because he was a hater of the Philippines yadda yadda yadda. No-one would be balanced and match the "good" article against the "bad article". Some peopel want to be victimised.
Anyhow.
Over and out for now, lets return this to a positive tone and not a slagging match .... it wasn't the intention.

Good point, I noticed the Wife could not take on board constructive criticism easily and nor could her friends yet could be very frank on most things
Im sure plenty of Phills can but it does seem that many dont like it which is understandable I guess to a degree.
Heres an example for your Book, Bless Books, the Wife found it hard at work when even though she worked hard fellow co workers or managers would be critical about her work. We worked together on it as a couple and broke down the comments and apart from a few stupid ones many were "gifts" free constructive advice
She took it on board flourished in her jobs and now its like water of a ducks back. Just recently was telling me, she was mentoring a far older then her pinay who she works with on what a supervisor was trying to do
In the past and even today people are highly critical of the UK how do you think the NHS happened?
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
True, I like to think of communication here like a cream bun.Good point, I noticed the Wife could not take on board constructive criticism easily and nor could her friends yet could be very frank on most things
Whereas, typical workin-class British communcation is like a double bladed dagger!
I'm sure it takes a bit of time for a Filipino to get used to the lack of Sir, Madam, Ate, Kuya, Auntie/Uncle - ing that goes on in the philippines when they come to the UK
We're not as nice, but we get things done.
Things in the Philippines are done at a snail's pace! eeks!
About wife, I am glad that was sorted out.Good point, I noticed the Wife could not take on board constructive criticism easily and nor could her friends yet could be very frank on most thingsIm sure plenty of Phills can but it does seem that many dont like it which is understandable I guess to a degree.
Hello somebody! If you will allow me, I just would like to make a comment here. Wife whatever nationality is a wife and will not always take criticism lightly. And so with husbands. Given -two people of different backgrounds, living under one roof, what do you expect? Of course, an argument! And to say they both come from different culture, that is a riot?! Don't you think?

Why should there be aruguments because there are people from two cultures
Im not talking about us as a couple in the previous post.
I have noticed it seems many filipinos at all levels I have come across dont seem to take constructive criticism in their stride like Brits do in general although of course always plenty of brits and phill the other way round. More importanly they dont seem to notice people are saying it to try and help often.
I had my Wife in tears thinking her manager was bullying her when really she was trying to get her to be even better than she was already. Many of her Phill mates in the UK could not see it either.
The reason I mention it is the reason why many Brits are crictal of things which happen in Phill is because that is how change for the good occured in the UK by people not agreeing with the status quo and speaking out.
It deeply upsets us so many phills just shrug and dont think they can changes things.
The fact that people do feel they can change things by speaking out in the UK is a reason to be proud of being British.
Lets hope one day the same can be said in Phill
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
Amen Brother!The fact that people do feel they can change things by speaking out in the UK is a reason to be proud of being British.
Lets hope one day the same can be said in Phill
My Longlost Brummie BrotherAmen Brother!

Hello somebody! When I said that, I am teasing a bit of course ...
I wonder would the eminent author bless tell us something about his/her self ... because so far, we're left with the image of a bookselling, irritating-correcting the spelling of natives dweeb troll. Would you like to sell us on you bless? Let us know about the nice side of you because, I'd love to hear.
