Life / Whats driving like in Poland? [70]

- the cars. Horses and Carts are gone and Maluchs are almost gone but there is a new generation of second hand buses, Cinquecentos and Daewoo Matiz as well as that perennial Polish favorite, the drunk unlit cyclist.

What's wrong with a cinquecento damnit? ;)

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

because doctrines change, If the church has apologised for its past genocides in south and central america ,and abandonment of its catholic brothers at the time of jpIIs rule in the 80s in salvador etc,fine,no critisism should be directed at it,if it hasnt apologised for its crimes as recently as the 80s where fighting communism was seen as more important than stopping peoples being murdered by fascists in central america then,crack on,treat it with the contempt all institutions that seek to control peoples thoughts and actions deserve.

Obviously the concept of manipulating people is not foreign to churches hierarchy, never was and unfortunately never will be, but the situation is the same with British Government for example. So, if you will blame today’s church for the things that happened few centuries ago don’t be surprised if someone will blame your current government for the slave trade. Simple.

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

Where as there are still a group of blokes out there who have never had sex let alone a relationship with a woman who think they have some insight and say into how millions should live their lives.

I also prefer father Tischners approach to faith, which consists more on dialog rather than on telling you what to do. But I fail to see what it's got to do with crusades and Spanish inquisition.

Because by the time the saxe coburg gothas were on the throne slaverl had been abolished by britain. We realised that buying one lot of black guys from another lot of black guys was moraly wrong.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there were no longer any crusades and spanish inquisition at the time JPII became pope. So I will repeat my question then, why is it OK to blame today’s church for crusades and Spanish inquisition but it’s a serious faux pas to blame the Windsor’s for the slave trade, since both had nothing to do with those awful crimes?

well, this thread certainly shows who's been blinded by religion - matthias, z_darius, Matyjasz, lesser - all polish, no

come on guys, you need to learn how to think for yourselves

That's a double-edged sword your waving there Bubba. In the same way I could ask you to learn to think for yourself rather than repeat what your country men say.

There are variations on that one Mr M, its down to a woman to say "no", its not only Africans who try to avoid using condoms :(

Of course I agree. I didn’t want it to sound as if only black people from Africa don’t like to use condoms.

Life / Local Poles taking advantage of foreigners living in Poland [235]

You can always come up to the examiner and discretely try to put money in to his hand but seriously I doubt that he will risk loosing his job because some stranger gives him few hundred złoty’s. The case would be different if the person who wants to bribe the examiner got in touch with him before the exam, but unfortunately the examiner gets the list with the people he examines just minutes before the exam so there’s no guarantee that you are ever going to be examined by him.

I just tell you what the situation looks like in Poznań. I don’t know how does it look in Wawa though.

Life / Local Poles taking advantage of foreigners living in Poland [235]

Magdalena it is obviously not always the case but I know loads of people who had to pay a bribe to pass...so there IS still corruption in that job.

It's impossible here in poznań to buy yourself a driving license. The examiners get the list of people minutes before the exam, plus there are cameras on "palc" as well as in the car. It could have been the case few years ago, but not now.

ok then I'll just think of you as a russian then,after all,you come from near there dont you?

Dear Gawd! That comment of mine was definitely a tongue-in-cheek one. I usually try to highlight it by using a smiley. Take it easy Scotsman ishatu, son of Eadoin, citizen of the UK. :) <-- notice the smiley ;)

Oh, and I do confess that I use the word English and British interchangeably. As my penance I shall allow you to call me Latvian. To hell with it. I even let you call me Russian. :) <-- there's the smiley again :)

Thats because there a bunch of money grabbing, materialistic slags.

Your mother! :)

Tw*t...would appear that the only men that slag off English women are English men, Polish men as usual are gentlemen (or at leat Mr Magic is :) )

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

if youre the head of a church whose followers revere then you really should take responsibility for what you say...just like if you are the general of an army you should take responsibility for your orders

Having talked to several Afrikaans in the Uk, mainly from Congo and Nigeria, it seems that even if Jesus himself would said to them to use condoms they would still have sex without them Why? Because "having sex with condom is like licking a lollipop through a paper" - as one of them explained it to me.

If JPII was so influential figure than how come he didn't influence those people not to have sex before marriage? This accusation is just silly if you ask me.

No,but I dont see anyone rushing to be the next nazi party leader or head of international communisim? If your the boss of a corrupt organisation with a history of evil deeds you take on some of the responsibility.

He did take responsibilities for the churches actions in the past and apologized for it's misdeeds the same as your government apologized for the colonialism era and all the atrocities committed by the British Empire in past centuries. I still don’t understand how come it is OK to blame today’s church for crusades and Spanish inquisition but it’s a serious faux pas to blame the Windsor’s for the slave trade? Maybe you could explain it to me.

Argh,that doesnt make them english!!!!!!!...UK = England,Wales and Scotland, Northern Ireland gets a UK AND NI....

Whateverrrr... :)

not at all,I was having a larf,inviting you guys along on the merry ride of twisted self depricating British humour with a dash of irony and a soupcon of p iss taking out of the trolls :)

And what trolls had you in mind? I prefer more subtle British humor though. But ok, have it your way.

at least half the trolls on here are polish living in the uk

Not really. And I'm afraid that I'm not alone with this opinion.

The trouble is Poland kept changing size and colour depending on which era the map was made. Very inconsiderate of you. :)

True. That's why we decided to stay relatively in one place and shape for the last 60 odd years. All because we didn't want to further confuse our fellow Europeans. :)

Most of the trolls who are refered to as 'English' are in fact not English, but English speakers.

I would say that 90% of them claim to live in the UK. I do agree with the rest of your posts though. Well maybe I would add that many of your fellow country man would also have problems with pointing Poland on a map. :)

How could they be anything else but towards you with that boyish face and lovely cheeks :)

That's it! I take everything back about English ladies not being patronizing. ! ;))

Can't really agree with you on that one.

Will British sportsmen ever win an important competiton?

the Ashes,the World Cup(sorry,when did Poland win?) countless golds in both summer and winter olympics(see,sport is more than just chucking yourself off the side of a mountain without ski poles).

The ashes? Weren't we talking actually about important competitions? lol

PS: Now you see with what crap we have to put up on this forum mate? I see that you lost your temper when the shoe got on the other foot.

UK, Ireland / Many British have inferiority complex [131]

Imagine yourself how this forum would look like without English people ...

It would be boring. :) There could be said a lot of bad things about our fellow Brits. I agree that they are over-represented here on PF in the "troll department" and if there is ever going to be a world cup in moaning I bet I know what two countries would get to the finals, but brits having inferiority complex? Not really. In contrary, very often they behave in a nasty patronizing way. Well, maybe there is one exception. Mainly to the USA and it's position in the world, I still can't figure out if it's really a case of inferiority towards them or just jealousy that their former colony replaced them as the leading power in the world though. But it must be mentioned that it's not that they are alone who feel this way. Germany and France must be mentioned here too.

....it's their miserable football!

:)

Few years ago there were this "recorders" adverts all over Poland on billboards with our national football team and a caption saying “Nasze nagrywarki przegrywają szybciej niż reprezentacja Polski”. It means “Our recorders record/loose faster than Polish national football team”. TThe word “przegrywać” has two meanings, “to lose” and “to record”. :)

has anyone else noticed an intense inferiority complex in poles...?

Not all of us have an inferiority complex, but it definitely is present in our society, myself included. I would say that it has more to do with the commie times rather than with the partitions, WWII, etc.. In my case it came down to the comparison between the economical situation in Poland and in the Western Europe. I felt that since my country is worse off than I must also be inferior to the westerners. Fortunately real life showed me that it's not necessarily the case. Still, I still have to prove myself that I'm not worse than others from time to time. I’m like a bloody Napoleon. lol ;)

Oh and I never met with an English woman behaving in a patronizing way towards me. They were always very open and friendly. I can’t really say the same thing about English males though. But you got to give it to them than in contrary to Germans for example, when they treat you in a patronizing way they do it very subtle, in most cases using sarcasm. Oh and when they offend you they want you to agree with them. “You’re a stupid twat aren’t you?”. Arrogant mugs. ;P

Life / "I can spot a Pole a mile away" - Polish fashion? [146]

I work with two Hungarians. One tells me it is a very rude word. The other (his girlfriend) is not the sort of girl you say very rude things to (unless, I imagine, you are her boyfriend). I've also been working with two Lithuanians. They don't use the word like Poles do - I've only heard it once (not a seemingly infinite number of times as I'm used to). A fellow English colleague of mine has even tried to say it, although he can't roll his Rs.

A friend of mine girlfriend wanted to keep in touh with her after we come back premanently to poland. As I'm a very helpful fella I asked this woman "You want to send text messages to M******?". "Yes, are you OK with it?"... Ouch. It came out as If my girlfriend needed my permission to stay in touch with her friends. :/

I see that once again I made quite a faux pas. I didn't want to say that I don't believe you Osiol. :)

As for the K word, it seemed to be most popular among English chaps actually. They pronounced it something like "koovah match" though. :)

UK, Ireland / What's So Great About The UK? [416]

good :),and I agree,some ignorent "brits" do take the attitude you highlight Matyjasz. Not myself Im afraid,so I take umbridge at being lumped into a homogenous mass of "the brits" that is as insulting as saying all Poles are rascist skinheads,some are,most probably not.

I shall not call you a homogenous brit no more. :P Besides, that previous post was tongue in cheek.

yes,Im afraid I take the fact that britains schools and NHS were overstreched even before 2004 a little seriously,especially when Poles are just the latest,and by far the largest groups of imigrants to add even more presure to those sevices many of us have been paying for for a very long time with our taxes. Would you be happy if your childs primary school suddenly had say 10 non Polish speaking kids in each class and your child lost out due to all the resources being pumped into the non polish kids?

I don't know about the state of NHS before the huge influx of Poles into your country. I also don't know in what percentage the accusations of the likes of noimmigration are true and in what way they are just the outcome of mass hysteria instigated by the tabloids. Bu what I do know is that the poles in your country are playing by your rules. They are doing only things that you allow them to do. Nothing more and nothing less. The outcome of this situation is that a group of your country men are blaming my people on the decisions made by other group of your people. Quite funny actually.

Now, as for your question:

Would you be happy if your childs primary school suddenly had say 10 non Polish speaking kids in each class and your child lost out due to all the resources being pumped into the non polish kids?

I doubt that anyone would be happy about it. And if you and other Brits are as well than why don't do something about it? Allow children in to a school only if its English language skills are on a satisfactory level. Let the people think twice before moving into your country. You will see that the problem will solve itself by ITSELF. You don't like that Eastern Europeans can claim benefits after a one year working in the UK? Make it 5 years! You will see that no one will complain because it is YOU who make the rules in GB and not immigrants. But than again it's definitely easier to b!tch about the darn foreigners than actually do something. (and before you get offended I wasn't thinking about you in this paragraph).

Personally I understand more or less what your people are going through right now. I’m sure that sooner are later I will have a similar conversation here in Poland with some xenophobic Poles. Still I don’t like the fakers like noimmigration spreading bollocks about my people, like about the threat of molesting English children as the age of consent in Pl is 16 years old.

You don’t like that more and more people are talking in polish on your street and feel intimidated by it? Fine. I’m sure I would feel the same way if suddenly half of my street talked in English, German, Mozambique or whatever. But say it as it is and don’t make things up and talk crap on a internet forum.

Life / "I can spot a Pole a mile away" - Polish fashion? [146]

Still, the popularity of that word amongst Slavic and even non-Slavic languages such as Hungarian and Lithuanian mean I might have been wrong.

The K word replaced quickly "facking hell" on almost every construction site I had the opportunity to work in the UK. It's the first time I heard that it's quite popular among Hungarians and Lithuanians though. :)

UK, Ireland / What's So Great About The UK? [416]

what the fek do you mean "you lot" I speak for myself,no one else,though many have far stronger opinions than me.

Oh my. Someone needs to take few deep breaths here. If I knew that this topic will be so touchy for you than I would pass. It wasn’t my intention to **** you of. :)

As for what do I mean by saying you lot, well it’s exactly what you think I mean, brits.
Whatever the poles will do it will always be bad. Some will have problems with them staying too short, as their long term contribution will be unsatisfying in their opinion, thus calling them a wave of locust. Others will have heart palpitations just from the sheer thought that poles can buy houses in the UK, take medical care and send their children to English schools (that is in regards with staying long term of course) . It really does seem that you lot just can’t be pleased. :) Oh, and take it easy mate. It's all good. :)

Life / Do Polish people tend to stick together? [49]

One of the most visible heritages after the commie times here in Poland is this distrust to other fellow Poles out side of ones family and circle of close friends. Don't trust, everyone can cheat you, steal from you, everyone can be a stitch from the government and turn you in. It was to prevent people to organize themselves. Of course the commies failed (see Solidarność for example) but still the burden remains.

UK, Ireland / What's So Great About The UK? [416]

And,not that this was my origional point but,seeing as you seem to want to force the issiue,the Sub Continent has given the UK about 99.9% more than Poland has,and most,if not all those Indians,Pakistanis and kashmiries came here with the intention of staying for good,not to act like parasites and take what they can while the going is good then scarper.

Of course that was your point. Nothing wrong with that. And as for intention to stay... well apparently it's bad when Poles want to permanently settle in the UK as it affects the true identity of GB, and it's even worse when they are guest-workers as that way they are being parasites. Interesting. You lot just can’t be pleased, can you? lol :)

heres something for you bartolome " you cant reason with people that are unreasonable"

And how is he being unreasonable? You said that there are presently 1 500 000 Poles in uk. The source you posted says only about 1 000 000 Poles so you still miss 500 000 people. Wouldn't it be actually easier just to admit that you were wrong? Just a thought.
