UK, Ireland / ARE YOUNG BRITS LESS INTELLIGENT THAN POLES? [56]

I agree intelligence should be discussed, but I find that people are talking about a natural ability or aptitude and I am saying even this needs training. And that school is a form of training i.e. lower the training = lower intelligence.

I know it says Brits but the Scottish people I have met did not seem so uneducated, so I focused on the English part of Britain, where I do find a huge dumbing down. Is there one standard for the whole of Britain?

I remember Tony Blair in the name of diversity, gave the go a head to teach creationalism in some schools, which I find as absolutely mind bogglingly stupid.

Good point


I think that has everything to do with the topic


Yes and it still goes on...maybe for a good reason.
And I do not think anyone is disputing Oxford, Cambridge etc...

Agreed

But then again you get a lot of Scandinavians studying medicine here in Poland because it is cheaper and still considered very good quality.

I would prefer to be happy than intelligent any time, unfortunately I am neither.

No, well maybe, actually quite possibly, YES defiantly.

Law / The differences in business cultures between the west and Poland [11]

Hello,
I am just curious, the west and Poland does not sound well to me, if you said the east and west or England and Poland, I would understand better.

I am from Ireland and work in Poland.
I am sure you will get a lot of usefull info from here, but you know yourself, it is the internet.

best of luck

Am I missing the point, is it not just a matter of who you fancy?
I admit that a culture difference can make life difficult and some people are incapable of getting over certain issues in the other's culture.

But surely in Manchester everyone was brought up sharing the same culture?.
I think I have lost the plot, it is very simple for me. I have dated girls that I fancy from different parts of the world.

And as for the scaremongering of Simon Mol and Iranian guys. Are you incapable of seeing the false logic you are using? Simon Mol = black. black = Simon Mol character.


I couldn't agree more.

Really? There is I think one family of blacks where I live and nobody seems to care, why would they. I am not black, but I would have thought that Polish people would be more curious than anything else and of course there will always be some idiots in every group. Why do you say this?

Now you +++++++ off
What have the E.U. ever done for Ireland?

Has anybody read the Lisbon Treaty? and of the half a percent that did who understood it?


Probably that people can think for themselves and are not the puppets anylonger of the political parties, media and church

You crack me up. Do you write your own material?

News / EU constitution: 'Strong show' for Irish No vote ? [126]


When I contact Ireland this is what my family and friends tell me. But also that it is 600 pages long and not clear.
Obviously I was joking about what have the E.U. done for Ireland but at what cost? Before the E.U. I was a big sceptic, my main worry was that the E.U. would be a rumplestiltskin, and after spinning us gold would want our first born. It seemed Ireland was so desperate that not many people thought about the consequences, that the E.U. would want something back. Ireland is supposedly neutral and I always thought it would be mandatory for the next generation to join the E.U. army and go off and fight to the death in other countries for some politician in the E.U.

Like a lot of European countries we fought and died for out freedom, and do not think we are so foolish just to hand that freedom away so easily.

News / EU constitution: 'Strong show' for Irish No vote ? [126]


Yes of course I was joking.


what makes you say that?

News / EU constitution: 'Strong show' for Irish No vote ? [126]


Have you read it?


Of course you would say that, but do you really think that smaller countries are not going to want to have a say about their future and affairs?

I totally agree that people need to be educated more about the workings of the E.U..

News / EU constitution: 'Strong show' for Irish No vote ? [126]


I don't think anyone has, I think there are actually only 5 pages, the rest are blank to save on ink.
Makes this whole thread a bit dodgy,
Has nobody read the Lisbon treaty???
Imagine Hollywood made a movie out of the treaty, MelGibson directing, coming to a cinema near you!
I know what you mean though, but there must be some workable way where big and little countries can do this. You say blackmail I say dictatorship. But Europe has come out with some of the greatest minds in history, I am sure we will find a happy medium, just not this time

Sounds bad.
But have you any pics of your girlfriend? she sounds lovely. I am just kidding about the girlfriend. You probably like a lot of us fell for a Polish girl and seen some opertunities here and wanted a change. And because you have more melanin in your skin you get hastle, that sucks.

News / EU constitution: 'Strong show' for Irish No vote ? [126]

Just because Ireland goes for quality not quantity, why should we have less of a voice?
I don't think that this is going to break up the E.U. we just need to find our way. It is a new time for Europe and although we love to fight over every little thing, I think we are united to make it work

Everything, be afraid, be very very afraid.
I do not think you are going with the right attitude, could just be a badly made question.
I am sure you will be fine, so long as you are not out during a full moon, mwaaaahaha ha ha ha!!

News / EU constitution: 'Strong show' for Irish No vote ? [126]

HHHhhhmmmm....
There is a massive flaw to all this, nobody has read the treaty, part of it could say that you need to wear odd socks on Tuesdays.

Does this Kill th E.U Bratwurst Boy? I doubt it. Even you said you are pro EU, which most Irish people are of course, and yet nobody read it.

Is this not more of an issue of how to effectively inform people so that they can make the right choice? My money is still on Mel directing, we could make a few quid on it and all!

And there are always other solutions. Negotiations are powerful, make Ireland think it has a say and make Germany think they don't. And have the truth somewhere in between.

Yeah I would like to hear that one and all, come on, sharing is caring

News / EU constitution: 'Strong show' for Irish No vote ? [126]


now i see why you have a sweet as your picture ;))

I also think Irish people do not really trust the politicians.
People fear they are just sucking up to the E.U. and do not have the good of Ireland at heart, but rather their own pockets. I know a dishonest politician is not a new thing, to any of our countries, there just needs to be more education about the E.U.

I hear the same in every country I go to in Europe, that people are afraid their liberties will be taken from them.
And people understand that wars do not have to be a marching army but can be slight changes, slowly eroding our freedoms.
The E.U. is new and I do want it to work, infact we are all lost if it doesn't.
I understand that things need to be dealt with quickly and asking every single person their opinion on a topic would take for ever plus a day. But we also can't allow the freedoms of a people to make decisions for themselves be taken away.

So what, Ireland should leave, or be kicked out? "so long and thanks for all the fish"
If that happened we would be forced to close every Irish bar in Europe, that only happened twice before, yes you got it, the first and second world war.

So be careful what you say.


And nobody is saying that, it is just peoples worries, you know like an emotional response.


I agree

Krakow and Zakopane are in my opinion the two most beautiful places in Poland.
Krakow is a perfect medevil city and one and a half hours away by bus is Zakopane, in the tall mountains with there unique architecture and music.
