History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

fair enough, IF, but lets say IF, I do not think IF will materialise

...... But It materialised in case of Jews and with the same conditions would materialise in case of Poles in UK or Ireland... That's my point..

by and large the general public WELCOME them :)

But If they will make 10% of the whole population, won't assimilate for the next 100 years + serious economical problems the general attitude will change, no doubt about It...

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

I don't agree...............there is not a general feeling of ill will or a feeling of superiorty towards our migrant EU guests......nor will we legislate against them....nor deny them!!

Come on... I wasn't saying about any general feelings... Simply there are many Poles in Ireland, so many more people don't like Poles than let's say 20 years ago when you could hardly find any in the whole country...

You "don't egislate against them" because you need them to do ****** jobs and because in 21th century that's rather impossible... In UK there's a party, which calls to kick Polish immigrants out (and in France a guy, who wanted to kick out all immigrants got into the final round of the presidential elections a few years ago) one serious economical crisis and they will get into the government.

Do you really think that people think like you in Poland.
I have many friends and family neighbours and I have never heard such a thing.
Grzegorz, not everybody is against other nationalities and people who are different.

What... ?

This is an answer from Gregorscz

This is me probably...

Frank, obviously there was anti-semitism in Poland, just like there is anti-Polonism in Ireland now... It's not possible to avoid such feelings, when there is a large unassimilated minority in some country.

History / Soviet war monuments in Poland - what to do about them? [133]

It’s against economic logic

Not for everyone money is the most important, besides Estonia is doing very well economically and they definately won't starv even If Russia blocks all of their export and stop deliveres of oil and gas.

That isn’t necessary, it’s not wise and it’s not move in direction of good neighboring relations.

What isn't nessesery ? If we were them, we would blow up that crap at the first opportunity, for me the only weired thing is that they still had kept that for 16 years. Probably they were affraid that Russia would invade them when they haven't been in NATO yet.

Russia is in defensive on all `fronts`. It is NATO who act like big boss and trying to encircle Russia. They push, push and push them and that`s not good.

It's not NATO pushing anyone, It's Russia's neighbours pushing NATO to accept them as members, because they have enough of being pushed by Russia.

Poles, you had problems with Russia in past but

No in the past, we have problems with them all the time. Let's forget about the Soviet Union and take a look at Russia. First we had to ask them to withdraw their military bases from our country and It took them rather long time to do that. When our government said that MAYBE in the future we will join NATO they threatened to nuke us, they were pushing our companies out of their market, so untill recently one of few things we still sold there was meat, but they banned even that, said that It is stinking. They are making problems with oil and gas, so we have to spend money to build the piprline from Norway and import by ships from the Persian Gulf. Their (state controlled) media insult us all the time. We only "dare" to fight back sometimes, that's all.

And I wouldn't be so sure that they are so Slavic. They are rather a Mongolian-Scandinavian mix. BTW The only one big country in Europe Russia has had really good relations with in last years is... Germany. You may love them when you are far away, If you were in Central Europe instead of Balkans, I'm sure you would change your mind.

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

but the whole story is that code breaking was a joint effort between them and the British.

The point is that until recently British were hardly admitting any Polish input and finally did that only under Polish pressure. One could think that more could be expected especially that thousands of Poles died defending Britain.

History / Soviet war monuments in Poland - what to do about them? [133]

First of all Estonia is a sovereign state and has a right to do whatever wants with monuments on their territory. And hisorically they have full rights to remove a monument glorifying a state, which invaded them without any reason and was etxterminating their people, It's like If there was a monument of a nazi in Warsaw. Besides Estonia is a NATO and EU member and others members of these organizations should support them unless they do something really stupid, so Slovaks should shut up.

The only one, which is becoming fascist is Russia, with the whole "cult of personality" of Putin, state controled media and provocations in realations with neighbours, be It Balts, Georgia - in fact almost every of their neighours. Russia has just came of the 3rd world thanks to very high oil and gas prices and they already act like they are once again a global superpower. It will work out like the last time and once again common Russians will pay the highest price.

Or find some Asian restaurant, tell the owner what you need and he may claim that he needs her because she can cook some Asian food any Poles can't... how any urząd will prove that It isn't so ?

Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]

The overall agreement was that gay couples should not be allowed to adopt children, but as to gay issues themselves, they were extremely tolerant and said that no one had a right to tell another person not to love another, regardless of sexual orientation, colour, or race.

But I am also extremly tolerant, unless some idiots want to "parade" in public places wearing women clothes and do other similar things.

if Poland is intolerant

The point is that Poland is very tolerant.

I hate people who allow their race or sexuality to define them, its pathetic.

Exactly.

Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]

more or less???? What kind of statement is that?

Some hate It, others simply don't like...

I teach in a University part time in Lublin and I have rarely heard of such homophobic views as yourself.

Ask them.

Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]

And another thing why is this being organised by a US organisation and not a Polish one?

Because this is a pettition mostly for foreigners...

you would think that if Polish were so against this that they would organise it themselves but strangely another country is doing it for them.

It isn't organized by any "country"... If you want to know what Poles think about It, you may just ask them, except tiny minority of homo themselves, marxists and other weiridos, vast majority is more or less against.

Homosexuality is an alternative lifestyle. Why is Poland so intolerant?

"Great". What's next ? A Nazi will tell us something ?
