News / EURO Currency : Should Poland join?? [9]



I agree Poland must wait, however, Poland does not have the same economic output as GB or Sweden and the Euro has been advantageous to mainland eu countries, encouraging internal markets and providing greater transparency of prices. as to name but a few benefits

In my opinion Poland should join once the economy can handle it.

agreed


It is - but the church still has large influence there - that will change like most other countries once the economy improves. (hey id like to be wrong but its they way its gone and goes)


It is but we still need devoted people in the church to focus on the spiritual matters. Im glad Sarkozy has made his agenda very clear.

Sorry to say, but i do. He said he was sorry for it and that it was not how he normally behaves and i accept that - but the point holds to illustrate my point - should We paint all Poles for his actions? nie.

I understand G's position too crow. I dont agree with it is the point.
We cannot accuse all Italians are potential child killers over the inexcusable behavior of BOTH men! She was an innocent bystander and we should not let racism sully her needless death.

which is a minimum now not a maximum


which exists in all EU states and long may it do so (let the church focus on spiritual matters for a change and not power)


I agree - France lost alot under Chirac in my opinion

Not true, this is a generalisation. we've examples HERE in ireland of Polish drug dealers committing vile acts against other poles who owe them money. These are people taking advantage of other people. I even know one pole who spat at someone for just being german! so you cannot tell me that its a polish trait to spit at people?! its people. individual people.

You cannot paint an entire nation under a single stereotype G. You know it.


Its a stupid mentality alright - but what about all the other stupid mentalitys of other equal or greater crimes?! they are not all whoomps. some are polish, irish, english, american! look at virgina tech shootings! that quy was a nut! yet NOT a reflection of his entire race! That pole I mentioned earlier spitting on a foreigner, that was not a smart mentality act BUT it is NOT the mentality of all poles. PROVING yet again you cannot advocate racism for the crimes of individuals. You wouldnt even be discussing it if it it was an irish child or english or german. so its a double standard here too.

Focus on the actual crime - the murder of an innocent child. do not create more stupidity from an already stupid and tragic crime.

I think it was royal was the socialist candidate and Mr S was the conservative candidate.

so your admitting to being racist then? Its not acceptable and thats what we are saying her. to generalise, this is just what you've done. painted all italians with the one brush. and its not true of italians as its not true of irish or Polish G.


With a Polish guy this time - but could be ANY nationality - ANY guy.


spot on until...


Polish people do things like the above, Irish people do, Americans, Chinese, etc. Its not a national trait of any one nation G.

ah the old reverse psychology ;)


she wants to go, to earn money - it seems here goals are financially motivated. focus on here reasons for leaving and present oppurtunities for her to met them in Poland. Though I imagine that will not be so easy.

Powodzenia

News / EURO Currency : Should Poland join?? [9]


doesnt matter - i work for an american MNC and we deal in dollars depsite being in Ireland. it is down to your co. structure what currency you deal in and negotiate with suppliers etc.

eg we have contracts in the far east in dollars and euro for eg. depends.

AS to PL joining the euro as part of joining the EU - you'll find it was NOT a pre-requisite but a statement made on behalf of the Polish government should/when they got into EU as something they aspire to do. It is still voluntary membership of EU members to join the Euro currency. The PL gov't may have committed to joining the euro but the EU did not commit PL to it and did not do so to any EU member. The members that accepted the euro did so of there own free will and economic think tanks weighing the pro's and con's and is a european unification dream step being achieved.

wouldn't bother me - we are celtic. because i understand that it is individuals and not a race that commited the crime.

News / EURO Currency : Should Poland join?? [9]


they have a choice - like the UK did - but i think its to Polands gain to join it. GBP was stronger than the Euro at the time of launch whereas the euro is stronger than the zloty at present.

Once Poland reaches the economic criteria - they should join the euro I think.

UK, Ireland / Poles to stay or not to stay [in Ireland] - is there a question? [25]


not at all :) its great i think :) diveresity

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]


the north of Ireland was riff with discrimination G. Its still something that needs to improve but it is 85% better than the 70's 80's and 90's

it is a triumph for peace and tolerance today - from where it came. it still has far to go but my god man the progress there is so visable :)


you can disagree but you you dont live in the UK and do not know. whereas UK citizens have told you and you refuse to accept what they tell

that is your choice. it is perception when you view something different to someone else btw

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]


then that is just perception Ola123. as to a british citizen, british minimum wage is not good enough. like Polish minimum wage is not good enough to a polish citizen.

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]


but you still have eastern people go to Poland. ive seen it myself ms golczyk. The british minimum wage does not offer an 'ok' living as many british have already told you. it wouldnt be called 'minimum' then would it - it would be 'average'.

I believe it is inferred. If you believe otherwise, we can leave it at that rather than a circular arguement

UK, Ireland / New BBC series following the lives of immigrants is looking for people [49]

indeed G but the BBC is not a polonophobic institution. Im trying to highlight that point. it writes thousands of articles on MANY issues. and does not merit wondering about changing Poles views of the British public. so don't **** me off either i could say :)

UK, Ireland / New BBC series following the lives of immigrants is looking for people [49]


your right there - its one article of millions, singling out polish people and polish only - infact youve uncovered the sole reasonthe bbc exists is polonophobia.... :eyesrolling:

i agree frank

UK, Ireland / New BBC series following the lives of immigrants is looking for people [49]

Because Polish media is so perfect? give me a break - all media do things that 100% of people will not agree with it!


is still not a reaction i agree, wondering or not - i wouldnt entertain such a ridiculous reaction over ONE article

UK, Ireland / New BBC series following the lives of immigrants is looking for people [49]


because the story wasn't about british living in the toilet. it was about polish...
I read the article


then so does the British and Polish people. but i would never incinuate in any terms changing behaviour to a race en mass due to an article you pre-selected and ignoring all other articles thinking they are being polonophobic

One could wonder then, If Grzegorz deserve a good treatement from us.

its the same rational your applying to that? I dont think so. I think my answer stands.
