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


I've never even tried to get a woman to pay for everything.


The news got out about the ways of Polish women, and suddenly not a single British soul wants one.

History / Ancient Polish History thread [180]


Tsar derives from a Roman name, Caesar.
An Empire can be a monarchy or republic.
These are just titles.
Monarchy = Kingdom
I am posting this from the United Queendom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

News / Are there any other countries that Polish immigrants are going to? [70]


That's alright, French can sound quite nice.

Life / Embarassment of the egocentric use of English language in Poland! [20]

I was out drinking in a Polish town. Much English was being spoken.
A couple of oiks passing by shouted something to the effect of:
"What language do you think you're speaking?"
I quietly muttered a Polish phrase I had learn, but don't know how to spell
(something like 'Who wants to know?')
A Polish friend, however, proudly shouted back in English:
'None of your f***ing business.'



If you speak with a nasal projection, your voice carries much further, rather like in a supermarket tannoy announcement.

Love / Keeping in touch with my polish friend who doesn't know English [3]

For the last month or so, I have been meaning to write to a friend in Poland.
I'll have to attempt writing in Polish because his English isn't great.
My Polish is fairly minimal too, but that's one thing the forum can help with.
I'm supposed to be visiting him and his family at the end of the year,
so if I don't get myself into gear, this won't happen.
Losing contact with people is too easy if you don't make the effort.

News / Black Immigrant living in Poland infects dozens of women with HIV [174]


Some people DO come from South America.
Is a claim to South American parentage basis for calling someone a liar,
or indeed, a creature?
If she had already claimed not to have Guyanan heritage, I'd have said there was some misinformation here,
but I have not been able to find any such inconsistency.

Puzzler, do you know much about the racial characteristics of the population of Guyana, or of South America generally?

UK, Ireland / Should Polish immigrants learn English to work in the UK? [77]


Let's not get confused about all the different rights we have.
It must do what it says on the tin, or statutory rights are not being fulfilled.


Longleat comes to mind.

Other than Puzzler's answers to my question, I'd be happy not to see this thread again.

History / Ancient Polish History thread [180]

Perhaps someone could start with the furthest back in time, and try to work forwards from there.
Tall order, I know.

I was talking to someone about Stonehenge. It got me thinking: what is the oldest surviving relic in Poland?
Any standing stones? That sort of thing.

I asked you a question. That is not the same as making a point.


In which post?


Are you attempting to divide forum contributors into categories here.
I have what I believe in, Murzynka has what she believes in, and you have what you believe in.
I want you to clarify your claims about others.
I also want you not to condemn people by association - some shared opinions do not mean all opinions are shared.
Likewise, a contributor's ways of expressing opinions do not lead to others with similar opinions believing that those ways of expressing opinion are correct.

I am not taking personal sides here. I am asking you to explain how you have come to your conclusions about other people.

The two members you were talking about.
Give me examples of racism, fascism, dishonesty.
Maybe I just missed it, but I'd like you to elucidate your points by using examples.

Give me an example.

Halal produce in Britain is, I believe, mostly produced by Muslims themselves.

I'm not here all the time. I arrived a little later.
I'm not sure either that he was personally threatening you.


Correct.


What? An Englishman accusing another Englishman of being a moron with a temper problem?

News / Puzzler, what are your TRUE thoughts on Poland and it's place in the EU? [29]


I have seen a couple of reports in the national media, one of which appeared on this forum.
The lack of evidence for there being a serious problem - evidence from Polish people I know, British people I know, and even from the media, suggests that there is no more or very little more of a problem in this regard than there is with anyone being attacked on the streets of Britain.

UK, Ireland / Brits and Poles - can't we all just... get along? [20]


I won't bore you all with examples of cross-cultural and inter-ethnic fun I have experienced or witnessed in my life.
But I might just mention how much fun you can have sharing eachother's languages' animal noises.
If you already speak the same language, but come from different backgrounds,
try sharing some animalistic noises in a different way - it can still be pleasurable.

Did I just say that? Oh my word!
For the purposes of this thread, please note: I am not a real donkey - just a man dressed up as one for forum purposes only!

Life / Condoms and the Catholic church in Poland [83]

There is so much difference within Christianity, beyond the traditional categorisation into Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant. Anglicanism is not particularly Protestant as compared to say Presbyterianism. I know a village with two seperate Baptist congegations. They each believe eachother to be completely wrong!

Also, most Christians around the world hold on, to various different levels, to pre-Christian traditions.


Does one need to be renumerated for one's sympathy?
Or is it the help bit that involves money changing hands?
I know some ecclesiastical people have been found to be dodgy, but...

If someone tells you sex is bad, they need sympathy and help.

I've asked for Guinness served with a smile instead of a Shamrock.
There's a difference between a forced, fake smile
and just not moaning at every customer.

I've already said goodnight, then I spotted this.

No.
Two wrongs do not make a right, Mr. Puzzler.
I too hope for universal equality.


No.
I believe we have discussed this before.
I don't have time now.
Goodnight.

UK, Ireland / Gullible pretty polish girls with immigrants in Ireland [60]


I realise that is what he was saying in his post,
but his posts do show a particular idea of how the British see the Polish.


We all see the world through different eyes ergo we don't all see the same thing.
Some opinions seem to be based on views of the world given through more biased channels of the media.

Fair enough not to comment.

UK, Ireland / Gullible pretty polish girls with immigrants in Ireland [60]


You're bringing your own prejudice of other people in the world in here.
You have also jumped to conclusions about British opinions about the Polish.

No individual did. It was a collective struggle.


I think she was not so much saying that they single-handedly saved the day,
but that you should not disregard their efforts in making a positive difference.

No. Because I'm too busy screaming.

The English mentality?
There are as many different English mentalities as you get from the following equation:
