Oh come on - lighten up.

I've lost count of the amount of towns I've gone through in the US that have an 'Historic Quarter' that is younger than my Mother in Law.


Do you really need it pointed out to you that 'they' would be treated as a citizen in your country whereas 'they' treat the expats as a contractor who is welcome to LEAVE as soon as his usefulness expires.
Well 'they' treat people on work visa's in exactly the same way that people on work visa's are treated in Oz, US, NZ etc. - as soon as the work ends... sayonara ...

As for all this cobblers about pumping **** into the sea - well European countries have been pumping **** into the sea for decades and still haven't stopped.

Everyone just chill - we are in work, earning cash and the sun is shining - what more could you want at the present time?
