the fairly recent NI-Polish riots have sparked that.

are you talking about the football fights?.

My only advice is dont read it if you dont like it - no one forces you to.

True but I get annoyed when i know other people do.
Just the way I'm built.

Work / Job opportunities in Poland for a foreigner? (other than a teacher) [175]

shelly16

Hello Shelly 16,
And welcome to the Polish forums.
I am also from Ireland but i live in the south of Poland.
Unemployment is high here in Poland and for someone who does not speak Polish, it will be very very difficult to get a job doing anything as you would not understand what is required of you.

I recommend learning Polish.
Just out of curiosity, were you on this forum before?.
I was talking to a woman called Shelly from Ireland who was up that neck of the woods before, just wondering if it is you?.

---------------------------------------------------------

I would very much suggest not trying to be a teacher of English.

Language / CARBON-COPY POLISH SPREADING? [30]

Are you concerned about language purity

Language evolves, there are many words in Both Polish and English from French.
Because the aristocracy in Europe spoke French at the time.

English, at the moment is one of the most important languages on the planet, due to the Ex-colonies and the U.S.A. being the super power.

History has shown us that this will change in time, when a new super power takes over.

Where is your starting point for this "language purity"?.
Polish has always been changing, the Polish spoken today is not the same as the Polish spoken a hundred years ago, or three thousand years ago.

I think on of the ways in which a language can survive is by being able to change with the times.

I am not Polish.

Those left behind will want their good ol' commi system back and vote accordingly.

I have yet to see a former "communist" country prosper.

Don't get out from under your rock then, do you?.

Of course it is not possible to be a Jew and not Jewish

I wouldn't say that it is possible to be Jewish without being a Jew: one requires the other.

I thought you meant A member of the Jewish faith.
I think it is possible to be a Jewish Jew (because there is no other kind?) but not being a member of the Jewish faith?.(which you do not have to be a Jew to be)?.

That's why I edited.

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

Most of them are shifting to china, coz polish education is poor

Absolutely not, Poles are generally highly educated and the system here is quite good, definitely world standard.

poles are asking for too much of money.

Well, in comparison to China, where it is well known for it's human rights abuses and slave labour, then yes, you have a point there.

News / JEW YOUTH SHOULD CLEAN UP THEIR ACT IN POLAND [420]

when a foreign ethnic group settles in any country and refuses to blend in, keeping its own religion and customs,

I personally have very mixed feelings about this,
On one hand, it is admirable that after so many centuries of not having a country and being displaced all over the planet, that a people maintain their culture.

On the other hand, I do not like when foreign ethnic group goes to another country and defiantly does not mix, it is a very bad thing and creates tensions.

Add to that the Church teaching that we killed Jesus, which didn't help.

I never understood that, Jesus was a Jew.

Then there are the theological explanations, that G-d exiled us for our sins

What did you do?.

It's all in the Bible

Ah, I am not religious.

It's because our society is used to dealing with immigrants all over the world

I think I understand what you mean now.

before you edited the above post, it read differently.

News / JEW YOUTH SHOULD CLEAN UP THEIR ACT IN POLAND [420]

there were plenty of American Jews experiencing anti semitism here.

I think the US is the one country the Jews have been most successful.

Perhaps you could clarify this?.

Are you saying that of all the countries Jews were hated, America hated them less?.

And why were the Jews hated in America?.

News / JEW YOUTH SHOULD CLEAN UP THEIR ACT IN POLAND [420]

once Poland became independent after WWI it mattered very much. Polish nationalists saw the Jews as a competing and problematic entity. So a lot of them used latent anti-Jewish feeling as a way to whip up support from the masses. Laws were passed limiting Jewish economic and education opportunities and there were riots.

Interesting, I did not know this.

By the 1930s Jews wanted to leave but no one would take them.

So it was not just in Poland but as you said before, Poland had the biggest concentration.

Why were the Jews hated everywhere?.

*edit* I know that last question is very strong, but why have the Jews been persecuted almost everywhere and for so long?.
This question probably takes a few years of research to fully explain, so I don't expect a simple answer.

Poland was where it mattered most. That's was the biggest concentration of Jews in the world.

Why were there so many Jews here?.
It reads like Poland had the least anti-Semitism, if there were so many Jews here.

Life / Weekly Food costs - Krakow [16]

I never said that each person would live on 100 per week, your assumption is incorrect.

I've lived on 50 pln z week, bought own food from the market,

That is easy, when you know where the market is.

go out to McDo (for their restaurant-type food), did not buy Coca Cola or other such rubbish, drank flavoured tea and not coffee.

That is why I put such a high price.

Life / Weekly Food costs - Krakow [16]

can anyone tell me the average weekly cost of shopping for food, for one person ?

About a 100 Zloty but of course it depends on where and what you eat.
You should probably budget for double that until you find your feet and know where to go.
