POPSLive In South Florida - Only Rich Need Apply
Reading this article, made me conclude that So Florida has a plan to rid itself of working class dwellers. OMG, it's easy, raise taxes, insurance, utilities, everything under the tropical sun to a level that only well-off families can afford. I swear So. Florida’s leaders… want to rid paradise of commoners, so there’s more room for the blue-blooded beautiful people with fat wallets. Sound too farfetched, too birther, too death panel, too teabagger, too (oh what the heck) conspiracy theorist? Probably, and we sure as hell don't need another one of those nut-ball, butt-ball townhall myths floating around. But it’s strange to figure out why the cost of living in paradise is becoming beyond most people’s shallow pockets. I lived there for 19 years and was able to make ends meet. Today that’s not a can do. I’m glad I got the hell out while the gettin was good. But maybe there’s a silver lining here, because it’s only the filthy rich who will monetarily be able to withstand the BIG HIT.:eek:

POPSLess HE students likely over next 15 years Of course, that is not necessarily true, as it depends on immigration and emigration. But if we assume for the moment that those will balance each other out, the 18-21yr old band is set to shrink dramatically over the next 15 years in the UK. Of course, there is also the issue of all those pensioners - life expectancies are rising fairly rapidly, so there is a good chance that we will have increasing numbers of pensioners, in good health, kicking their heels looking for something to do. As their pensions will probably allow them to afford, say, a nice pack of rich tea biscuits once a fortnight, they may well want to go to university to cross skill so they can get some sort of exciting and stimulating job to help them afford the ever rising energy bills. If they are allowed to retire, that is.

POPSDying for a Chance at Better Life These are the people who so want to come to America and a better life, that they risk their lives daily - and many don't make it. They are not what you picture when they are described by the hate mongers - they are people like you risking everything for their families and a life worth living and dying for.

POPSEND OF SLAVERY? The Indian Government is mentioned in this clip, but I would like to point out that it was not a government of Indians, but rather British spin, yes, even then. Please would readers carefully consider this clip.

POPSWhere Freedom Is Deferred
“I suppose to people living in free countries where women wear what they please, the difference between a relaxed dress code and a stern one sounds inconsequential,” she writes. “In fact, it mattered desperately. In the years when women could wear colors, could show off the lines of their figures, what in effect became acceptable was the expression of individuality. Attention must be paid to neighbors, who are liable to report people who pursue an “alternative lifestyle” — sometimes “out of genuine pious indignation, sometimes as revenge for neighborly quarrels. “Beyond that, the risks involved in rebellion swiftly outgrew the rewards. Busy investing in the logistics of emigration — the English proficiency tests, visa applications and language courses — many young people envisioned their futures abroad, and were unwilling to compromise those hopes for the sake of somehow changing Iran, a notion they considered chimerical, costly and best left to a future generation.”

POPSRecession full of maybe's. Trevor Phillips, the saviour of the English Nation and tribes, says... I for one am sick to death of this immigrant informing me of matters I have been trying to raise for decades. If you think I should be grateful, then you've got the wrong boy. Having watched the degeneration of this once great country I would like to reclaim free speech, open debate and political representation to mean what it says on the label. Maybe as many as 1m immigrants will be going home, but those long term immigrants with their knife and gun carrying offspring remain. Illiteracy is endemic. How many people know the name of their councillor? MP? Illegal immigration advisor? Most know that one...

POPSThicker Skins Needed Maybe if certain Muslims tempered their over the top outrage over perceived insults and reined in their more radical leaders others would view them differently. Just a thought.

POPSNine milliion South Africans want to emigrate According to a recent survey, some nine million South Africans want to emigrate. And 2430000 believe they have the funds and qualifications to do it. Something tells me that this survey is deeply flawed.

POPSThe Kite Runner: Thumbs up, a thousand times over Whenever I see this book mentioned, anywhere, I have to read the article or comments. If you are a reader and enjoy historical fiction, this is one excellent book. It haunted me for weeks after I heard it on audio. I also *heard* the most recent one "A Thousand Splendid Suns". You will not go wrong committing yourself to this one. I'm glad it's been made into a movie. If it bears any resemblance to the book, it will win an Oscar easily; and I'm talking an Oscar from the *old school*. Literally, check it out.
