News / Poles Ranks First in Computer Coding [47]
Of course nothing wrong at all but he called me a little kid and made out I was stupid if you read all his entry. I just see him as one of these "poles" living in USA/Canada who have no culture of their own so they try to latch on to another. I know a British guy in my home town who is exactly like that. He is a 3rd gen Pole and thinks he knows everything about the country despite the fact he hasnt even visited the country.
What could possibly be wrong with Darius giving a bit of information about this stuff on a thread which is relevant to that kind of information?

Thanks for the info daruisz but there is no need to be such an abusive C****. You have proven urself to be one of those ppl who like to brag about Poland's achievements however small they are. Poland still makes a rather insignificant impact on the world even considering those things you mentioned. I dont herear Poles who actually live in Poland ranting on like you. We all gotta feel proud of our culture but you dont hear us brits ranting about our significant contributions to the world. There is more to the world of science than computers u know.

I am not arguing about Poland having some of the best coders in the world, but can someone tell me why recently (since WW2) nothing highly advanced has come out of Poland? There was a game called the witcher but it hardly showed off the skills of these top class coders. Is it because of language problems?

I have no idea how good the Poles are at bridge but I know they suck at poker. I have a monthky poker night and we (ex pats) end up cleaning them out. They play their own version of poker, I dont know where it comes from but it sucks.

UK, Ireland / What is in Poland that England doesn't have? [142]
I dunno if uve ever been to UK z_dariusz but since I have lived there for over 26 yrs of my life I think I am more qualified to comment about the prescription situation in my country. A year ago there was a big contraversy in wales as people living close to the Wales/England border were getting their prescriptions then popping over to wales to take them to chemists. At the moment, and other PF members will testify, precsriptions are certainly not free in Eng and prob not in Scot. At the mo wales is the only country in UK with free prescriptions as we have our own government independent of Westminister and they passed this bill.
As for Poland, since when have they given free prescriptions? I have used the health service quite often and have ALWAYS had to pay, allbeit cheaper than if I hadn't paid zus. This is whay we see the poor people begging for money for medicene etc
Unless you go to a private clinic, prescriptions are free in Poland and in the rest of the UK.

Of course mr donkey ur correct, not many students these days can afford to live without taking out a student loan, but it is the same in Poland. My brother has just started Uni and because my parents are earning under a certain wage limit, they didnt have to pay anything. Don't quote me on this but I think the limit is around 20,000 per annum. Tuition fees are means tessted and if parents are rich why shouldnt they pay? Also in Wales now we have something called an assembly learning grant which basically means help for students to the sum of around 1800 GBP a year. Dunno if this is just Wales or whether eng ppl can get it too.
Some new sort of tuition fee has come in over the last couple of years where it is paid directly out of student loans, I think. Notice that a student loan is a kind of loan, so eventually it does have to be paid back. I don't suppose it's enough to live off either.

Enlighten me. Since when have we had to pay for higher ed in the UK? As far as I can remember mine was completely free. Only the richer students have to pay for it..... and so they should.
One thing we have in Wales which isn't in Poland nor indeed the rest of the UK, are free prescriptions for all regardless of age.
Also, the snowy winters in Poland sre slowly disappearing. For two years there has not been substantial snowfall.
What do we have in Poland that's not in England?
1) free higher education
2) real winter (you know, with snow, ice and frost)
3) forests - an English forest looks like a Polish park
4) good bread in every shop
5) żubrówka

the skiing part i can agree with but are polish public transport services really reliable??? I've often found myself waiting for a bus in Pol that never shows and if it does it is packed full of sweaty ppl.
I lived in London for a year and the public transport systems are second to none.
Szarlotka, where in UK are you from? If from the middle of nowhere then you can expect to thave a ****** transport service. Have you ever tried to catch the bus in Poland 'na wsi'?

Tell me, whats the difference in the Poles recieving bad press and all the other immigrants recieving it? Poles expect to be treated with a pinch of salt (due, in part, to all those years of presecution) but its time to stop P**** footing around them and for them to start viewing themselves as an integral prt of Britain , not as this persecuted community who have to be defended by a federation.

In some ways I feel noimmi is right although he could state his opinions in a different way. I have lived in Poland for 5 years and to get anything out of the system here is a nightmare, I have my own business for which I pay ZUS (Polish national insurance) and taxes but really havent seen any benefits for myself of it.
Noimmi fails too state thats its not just the poles coming to the UK who have the easy ride but also the Bulgarians, Romanians, Slovakians etc. I'm sure if he mentioned these, people would be more accepting of his viewpoints. Its true that these people can get anything they want out of the system and often have more rights than British people. I mean have you ever heard of a country where they hire interpreters in school for immigrant children? Poland certainly wouldn't do that. It is concessions like this that make people like noimmi hostile.
HE shouldnt blame the Poles the Bulgarians etc for what our government grants to immigrants, they are only taking advantage of something that will help them better themselves.

Im sorry but I cant agree there. When Beckham had England knocked out of the World cup for the kicking incident, english ppl didnt make it an excuse to go and beat the c*** out of the ref, they realised it was Beckham's fault. Whay can't the Poles look at Lewandowski - cos hes one of their own and they cant accept that it was a single act of his that guaranteed Poland's return home.
Not surprising though,take a look on here ,some of the most chauvanistic,nationalistic crap comes from 3rd generation " Poles" in the UK or USA....
BTW, Welshguy,hard luck mate,hope your feeling better now,but,that sort of sh it happens all the time in the UK too,its not a national thing but a little penised knuckle draggers thing....

I wish I could post an email on here that I recieved yesterday showing Webb deat threats. If the adults of this country act like this how can we expect the youth to act any better.
The Police wer not at all interested and told me its better if I kept quiet. There is gonna be a major football tournament here in 2012 and so ppl her need to change their attitudes cos otherwise there will be loads of trouble and the Poles will then realise theyve bitten off more than they can chew.

yep, they said that Webb cause a Polish humiliation and that I should be punished for what my country did.
This is typical of people here, always looking for a scapegoat for the country's problems. I even heard an interview with the Polish prime minister a few days ago condemning Webb. Maybe they ought to look at Lewandowski and his yellow card that he also mananged to obtain today.

Arrogance breeds arrogance and there is alot of it in this country. Masks is correct when he says that the youth in this country walk round like they own the place. I come from the Welsh valleys and have seen some S*** there but never experienced being jumped cos I come from the same island as Howard Webb. I ended up in hospital and just got out this morning. they gys who attacked me couldnt have been more then 16 and 7 of thm had me at once. Where is the bravery in that???

UK, Ireland / Poles singled out as responsible for increase in knife culture [39]
It seems that if a murder happens in the UK the ehole world seems to hear about it, the same as if there is a scandal in UK hospitals or a Priest in the UK who abuse children.
WHy does Euprope delight in mocking the UK when a murder happens or a sick paedophile rapes a child? Like it doesnt happen in other countries. People delight in British scandals but they fail to inform the world of the good things that come from the UK - the centre of world music, the ENglish landuage and the full English breakfast.
Poland before you start criticising British hospitals (which are actually free for you to use - NHS) look at the state of the system in your own country. Do you relly think Polish priests don't abuse children? Do you really think the divorce rate is not high in Poland because ppl have more meaningful relationships? No, Polish people are still scared of the church and will stay together, even if they hate each other. I just look at the example of my mother and father in-law, who cant stand the sight of each other. I know many other couples like this.
Poland and Polish people need to start reading up about mafia killings in their own countries. In Warsaw stadium you can even but ral UZI's and shotguns without a licence.
THINK ABOUT IT!!!!

Why do they have a category for business on this site if questions like this shouldnr be asked here???????
Makes you think doesn't it that if you have to come onto a forum to ask such a question, after you have been to the bank to make enquiries. Then maybe you aren't quite ready for the cut and thrust of running your own business.
