UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]

You have a problem with Polish kids harming British kids education because of their poor English? Well than, make it obligatory fro kids to know English language when applying to any public school. Your kid doesn't know English? Sorry mate, you have to provide your child an education on your own!

The truth is that Poles in the UK play according to YOUR RULES! If you decide that every immigrant kid that wants to go to public school must know English language, no Pole will have anything against that. Now stop being such a loser and do anything about it FFS!

PS: Why do I get the impression that this forum should change its name to theUK's-problemforums.co.uk?

History / Polish Jews - they changed their Jewish surnames to Polish [532]

Taking under consideration the numbers of the victims you quoted I presume that you are a Tomasz Gross fan. According to the research that were carried away regarding this tragedy the number of victims were about 340 people. There were never 1600 Jews living in that area. (there were 562 to be exact) Still a lost life is a lost life, and I'm not trying to alibi the murderers. Sorry for your gradma.

As for how are we doing? Fine, thank you for asking. And how are you doing, errm… szmata?

News / Donald Tusk - Polish Prime Minister's Expose [13]

and in my opinion we should realy turn back on USA and look for friends or alies in region ... america will be first to sold us ... when they will have a business to help us they will call us friends when they will not have it FOX will show us properly to the situation

Actually it's the case with any government. Not just the American one. I also agree that we should look for friends in our own region.

As for the "turning ones back on the US of A", it all depends how it will be done. Nevertheless it certainly will be interesting. :)

News / Donald Tusk - Polish Prime Minister's Expose [13]

Now the time for talks ends and we'll see what he and the new Polish government can do. I only worry that the changes Tusk wants to introduce will be done too quickly and that would be a way to potential loopholes and further corruption.

Turning our back on USA just when France and Germany are fighting for it's support. Hmmm... Interesting. :)

History / Polish Jews - they changed their Jewish surnames to Polish [532]

Symptomatically, everyone jumped on Pee Wee for masturbating but no one on Stravinsky for loving Mussolini. Doesn't that speak volumes about this forum participants?

But was Stravinsky's love towards Mussolini more of a physical or platonic one? It's very important you know. ;))

I also qualified my statement that the prejudice against Poles is a stereotype. I have yet to hear an equivalent sentiment about prejudice towards Jews from you or others in this forum.

Personally, I've seen so many posts saying that as a Pole I certainly "sucked anti-semitism with my mothers milk" that I really don't care about it anymore. If you really want to label all poles as anti-semites, than so be it. I can live with that.

But if you really want to know the truth, than listen to your fellow Jew, the main rabbi of Poland, Michael Schudrich, who said:

"Rozpowszechnione na świecie stereotypy są całkowicie nieprawdziwe. Kraje kojarzone z antysemityzmem, czyli niestety również Polska, w rzeczywistości wcale takie nie są. Antysemickie zachowania występują natomiast na liberalnym, wolnym Zachodzie."

"[Those] distributed stereotypes are totally untrue. Countries that are associated with anti-semitism, which unfortunately includes also Poland, are not anti-semte in reality. Whereas anti-semitic behaviors are present in liberal, free west."

End of my rant.

History / Polish Jews - they changed their Jewish surnames to Polish [532]

But, I guess that's why Poland is where it is today and why the Western Europe and America are where they are.

Yeah, serves them right! Anti-semite bastards. ;)

As for the Israel-Palestinian conflict, do you think that the actions that were being taken by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people, were right? (you know, the whole check-points, the wall, police hours, etc things) What is your stance regarding this issue?

And how can it be irrelevant whether you like or hate Jews?

Personally I don't have anything against Jews, but lets face it, if I would criticize Israel's actions against the Palestinian nation in public, I'm 100% sure that I would be labeled anti-semite. That's why it's irrelevant whether you like Jews or not. The main thing is to say only positive things about this "nation".

A lot of Americans think that Polish Americans are not very bright, and there is even a host of Polish jokes on the subject.

Imagine a Jewish stand-up comedian telling jokes about dumb pollacks. Nothing extraordinary or xenophobic to it, innit? Now imagine the same situation, but replace a jewish stand-up comedian with a Polish one, and polack jokes with jokes about Jews. Anti-semitism at it's best, innit? :)

History / Polish Jews - they changed their Jewish surnames to Polish [532]

If you like Jews or hate them is here irrelevant. :) The main point is to watch your words whenever you talk about this "nation" as very easyli you can be labeled anti-semite, no mater if you actually are one yourself or not. Even Steven Spielberg was called anti-semite after directing "Munich", and he's Jewish ffs... :)

However, I think the Bible might mention in a few places that you should love and forgive thy neighbor, meaning all the inhabitants of the planet.

Yes, love and forgive thy neighbor, but don't spray him with thy seed in a darkened movie theater. :))

Sorry biglarry, I couldn't help it. :)

Life / Freemasons in Poland [41]

No, they are a "secret society" that do a lot of work for charity and so forth and they call each other "brother" oh and some (not sure if all) wear a ring to signify that they are a free mason - one more thing, they have a lovely dinner on the evening that they meet....you have to know someone to become one....

And the secret handshake. Don't forget about the secret handshake! ;))

PS: A lot of people responsible for the Polish May Third Constitution, which BTW was the first constitution in Europe and second in the world (yes, i just had to write this ;D ), were in fact freemasons. Amongst them, the last king of Poland, Stanisław Poniatowski.

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]

I think that you lot are starting to sound very paranoid when it takes to integration. I did not make English friends because of the "we don't want you here" attitude displayed by locals (although I did experience some of it in Loughborough) nor because my hatred for all things English. Call me old fashioned but I make friends with people when it actually "clicks" between us. I'm not going to make friends by hard.

If you don't like this state of things than maybe you should think of a law that would force every new arrival to have a British friend provided by the state. That would certainly solve the problem. ;)

and then there is Polish nights in bars and clubs

You don't have to be Polish to go for a Polish nigh to a pub. It's just polish themed. That's all. Nothing stands in the way for Brits joining in the party.

ah thanks. I should be honoured to go too.

It's still uncertain whether it will be a honor or curse. It depends if the situation here will further progress or not. Still, our intentions were genuine, as we find you to be a very nice English lady. :)

The prices for most things are much too high given the quality...beer, bread and bus tickets are the only 'cheap' things in Poland.

Lies, lies, LIES! The price of beer is definately to high! ;)

My fiancee agrees and we will be out of this place as soon as we can arrange it :)

The sooner the better. :)

News / Weak US dollar in Poland and other countries... [180]

Still, it won't be good for Europe if USA will be replaced by, lets say, china. A thing that many anti-americans seem not to notice.

China ... new player in some way created by Americans and Europeans ... there is one advantage of Chinese after Taiwan they will take eastern part of Russia ;)))

A weak Russia is also not good for Europe. :(

Life / Queuing and Polish people [49]

The Pole I know best always seems to stand just slightly outside of the queue, creating a sense of ambiguity. Is he queueing, waiting for someone who is, or is he just daydreaming?

This is very true. Polish queue is very often disorganized, which quite frankly drives me nuts. Especially when the queue moves but some bloody fekker that’s standing before me isn't. Or when there are few seats free, but people can't use them as some other nasty fekker decided to sit on the first blocking the rest for others. Still, I live in a small town in Wielkopolska and i must say that those kind of incidents really don't happen on a daily basis here and I can count the ones that happened to me this year on the fingers of my one palm (I remember two times if you want to be precise).

So is it acceptable in poland to say "stop pushing in" or would that provoke hostility?

What a strange questioned you've asked here. Is it acceptable? Yes. Would it provoke hostility? Of course.

From my experience Poles are much more assertive than Brits so while here you need to be more assertive. If someone is pushing before you and you feel angry about it, rather than thinking if it would be appropriate to gently point out his wrongdoing, voice it! Let it out of your system! It's healthier that way.

PS: Oh, and I have a question. How can you queue to get in on a train? I've never experienced it, even while in England.

News / Things you might not know about Poland [76]

Well, he could if there was any evidence that he spoke Polish. There isn't, and knowledge of Polish is a requirement for naturalising. Oops.

By your logic it looks that until mid XVI century Poland was populated mostly by Romans, Greeks and Germans. LOL :))

Polish citizenship is not in the slightest bit based on jus soli. A child born in Poland to parents who are not Polish has no right to a Polish passport unless it would otherwise be stateless. So even if we agree that Royal Prussia was actually part of Poland (which is a bit of a stretch, would you like to claim that another well-known Prussian, Field Marshall Hinderburg, is also a Pole?), merely being born on Polish soil would not have given Copernicus Polish citizenship.

Nice rant. But you failed to notice that he freely decided to be the subject of Polish King, thus making him a polish citizen... if we really could transport XVI century reality to our present one though... :)

What a silly discussion.;)

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

If someone tells you something is a good idea, you don't neccesarily follow, do you?
I believe the communism of those who came after Marx and Engels twisted it into their own forms.

Communism is just an utopia, and a vicious one at that. Marx not only despised proletariat but even weren't working class after all. Talking about hipocrisy. :)

UK, Ireland / Polls for Poles in the UK [178]

who up until then hadn't been involved in the battle as fighter pilots...which gave the RAF more resources and turned the battle.

You mean hadn't been involved in BOB. They were veterans of the German invasion on Poland campaign.

Churchill faced a great dilemma. On the one hand he had Stalin who wanted Poland, and Roosevelt who didn't give squat about Poland, on the other, there were >100,000 Polish soldiers, still very much needed by the Western Allies. Sure UK had to sent some planes to Warsaw.

You forgot about our intelligence and the home army in occupied Poland. But either way, Churchill did as much as he could during the Warsaw Rising. I believe that he really felt some kind of affection towards polish people, during the WWII as well as before it, during the Polish-Bolshevik war in 1919-1921. It's just that the circumstances were tough. That of course doesn't mean that he didn't play his part in deceiving the Polish Government in London during the WWII. Still he had responsibilities regarding his own people, and he did everything to fulfill them, which wasn’t always very moral regarding Poles, or other allies from the Central and Eastern Europe.

1946 - Victory parade in London, Poles not allowed to participate

I see that nobody mentions that because of RAF, polish pilots were allowed to participate in this parade. It's just that those pilots said that either "all" Polish soldiers will participate or none. We know how that ended. But respect for RAF officials nonetheless.

News / My view on Poland's Future [22]

There is something which not many of us realise. I call it "Polish way of thinking" which does not help Poland nor the Poles.
This kind of thinking can be defined in one old sentence: If my neighbor has a better cow than me, I must kill it.

That must be why I don't see many cows in Poznan or Warsaw these days. ;)

Life / Opinions about Radio Maryja [134]

Before people jump all over me, yes I really hate any form of lies which is why I hate HATE religion and ********. More people have been butchered burnt and raped in the name of a f-ing deity than anything else. closely followed by political beliefs, secular religion. Alll f-ing crap makes me VERY VERY VERY angry.

You should be angry on the nature of mankind(greed, lust for power, etc) and not on religion itself. Blaming religion for all things bad in the world is just as silly as blaming sex for homophobia.

UK, Ireland / Poles in GB: Why did you go - for money or something else? [53]

The guys I worked with did not have a good word to say about anything in the UK but I think a lot of this stemmed from a deep inferiority complex!

I don't know about inferiority complex. It might as well be. But I do see a similarity between some Poles that complain about how hard it is in Poland and how ****** their country is just to go abroad and do the same to their new residence country, with some brits mentioned before by truebrit:

And many who do so are soon whinging about their adopted countries and how they wish they were back in the UK.

The moral of this story for me would be that "boys will be boys" and "moaners will be moaners". Of course, people biased towards brits or poles will reached a different conclusion to mine... Oh well....
