Well i was born in cardiff wales but ended up living in cambridge for 25 yrs so i was a foreigner living in cambridge i say i was but they was or shall i say very nice people and i married two english men while living there and i love the english so much that i now have an english boyfreind which is james and i dont think that any one should be called foreigners we are all humans after all and should get on with every one  and not critize any one rant over!

[LJay]

Foreigners exist! Its a commonly used term! Let it go!

[maria]

Yes they do ljay but in my mind i dont think we should use the word and just say we are all people from differant countrys and i would so mad it some was too come up to me and call me a foreigner even though in there mind i was one back in cambridge but we have just got get on with all nationalitys , we are after all humans and just get on weather we like it or not and its not a nice word to use in my eyes!

[LJay]

well in my eyes its not an offensive term, its a fact! agree to differ and deal with it!

[maria]

It may not be an offensive but its still not at all nice to be called a foreigner and i hate the word  and i should'nt be made to deal with it and i would not go up to any one and call them a foreigner to there face i have respect for people as i use to have students that i use have and i never ever called them foreigners to there faces as its not a nice word to use!

THe term for someone from a different country is foreigner and is a statement not an insult.

I am foreign to a French person and they are foreign to me - no issue no worry just means a different country.

[maria]

I do know martin but i just dont like to be called one or even call any one to there face so i am not saying an other word on the matter thats my rant over with!

You're not foreign you are Welsh & British - a different class - within GB you are not foreign - only foreign when you are abroad.

I am BTW just British

I have slightly upset the Irish before in a nice way - saying they are not really foreigners - they speak same language, watch same TV, almost the same culture.

[JamesV6CDX]

Must say I agree with JLay's last comments

We all have different opinions, are entitled to hold them - and on occasions will need to agree to disagree

for the record martin (and definitely not wanting to start another argument)-northern ireland=u.k.-not foreign.republic of ireland-independant state-so therefore a foreign country.

I can remember a time (70`s?) when the British national Tv. weather forecast didn`t even show the Republic of Ireland on the map: just the 6 counties of N.I as a little 'island' on it`s own.......if that was 'political' I can only guess, but an example of attitudes at the time! :-/

  BTW: Has anyone yet noticed; I`m 'Foreign'?

[albitz]
