UK, Ireland / Polish Degrees for a social care work in the UK [5]

short answer, NO. :( most eastern degrees are not recognised

Please check with EU websites or your university. BECAUSE all EU institutions have no GRADED degrees in each country. In ireland an 'ordinary degree' is level 8 i think, honours fegree is level 9 i think. something like that.

Also, The degree you have will help you get 'exemptions' in Irish & UK colleges to get a 'shorter' time to get their versions

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]

Quoting: Babylon
I mean what you feel in your heart when you think Germany or Germans, remember that Politician view originate from peoples, Hitler was chosen by peoples, they knew what was his politic view and they voted YES WE WANT YOU.

Hitler took advantage of a people that were down and out - you can get a hungary man do to almost anything for food! Hitler manipulated, the nazis manipulated to accomplish their MINORITY views. They told the german people what they wanted to hear and abused their trust.

There is no excuse for what the nazi's did - it was a crime. Do not paint all the german people for such. I wonder to accuse ALL americans for dropping the atomic bomb?

Move on mate! tackle real issue's like, rape, peodophila, vandalism, hooliganism! crimes of TODAY rather than this bullsh1t thread

daffy if only it was always like that...but I can guarantee you..if trouble arises...then make no mistake.......all old past differences/emnities will be raked over as if they happened just 24 hrs ago....

Thats could be said of your brother frank - put in a situation outside of normal control! just watch 'lost' :)

Its part of why EU is about unity - so that it cannot happen again

'lest we forget'

PAX

Don't get your feathers all ruffled Daffy.....it's better than personally attacking members of the forum

True LOL - im just adding to his POLL, giving my honest opinion

Russians quoted as saying their current enemies are Poland and Lithuania........EU may only be a temporoary entity...so you'd be surprised....!

Id retort and call your view pessimistic.
And your quote is out of context. Russia did not say lithuania and Poland is Russia's enemy in WWII, Armageddon context at all! and Russia is not about to 'MARCH ON WARSAW!' so id add sensationalism to your post :)

the EU is an ideal! and its 50 years since! and it has achieved more than 5,000 years! or any empire or dictator could do! thats due to the power of democracy (with all its flawS)

Dont think the EU is going to crumble overnight frank

UK, Ireland / Great Britain - which countries does it include? [95]

minority of native Irish and Scottish peoples

your just trying to provoke it now aren't you! :)

There are english, irish, welsh and scottish people. Some unified under the term 'Great britain' with ENgland as its mainland.

However, we are all European (geographically & politically)

News / Poland over the next 10 years? [79]

my two cents,

Ireland did not have anybody come home for hundreds of years! It was not until the start of the 1990'd that they did! p1990 population 2.5m, today itss near 4.6m (including poles etc etc)

"Deportation of Germans from former German lands to Germany, as a result of peaceful solution to stop future possible multicultural conflicts is right and Germany has been punished and they deserve it" - Are those words - made him Nazi?

a nazi under a different name would smell as sweet

...that basically means, yes. Germany made its reparations (served its time for the crime) and MOVED on ages ago! germany was one of thr founding nations of the EU poland is now apart of!

and is funding (with the rest of the EU) polish infrastructe, CAP, et al!!!

telling germans to get out is ludicris!!!

...and racist

where is the difference between Irish-speaking Irish and non-Irish-speaking Irish?

that IS your only differnce! are americans who are not native, not americans because they cant speak cherokee or hudson?

I am native irish, and i speak little irish - doesn't make me less irish at all.

hehe Frank I dont think we agree on this

Rome and thre third reich didnt fall over night either :P Im saying they failed due to oppressive regimes. The EU is not.

The euro, i share your sentiments also that it may last. And Currencies you gave as examples, eh, you didnt mention any in particular or am i blind? what are these 3 other european currencies that have failed before?

Excuse me Daffy........in order for someone to succeed.......some one must fail......you move tangentially during your posts.....

your excused Franck :) (just playing)

There is no tangent I can see. But i do see you making posts with claims you could not back up.
for someone to succedd someone must fail...

so magellian succedded in circumnavigating the globed - who lost out there?
the wright brothers invented modern day flighht - who lost out there?
the EU was formed - who lost out there?

it is the Failures of the past that pave the way for the successes i would say Frank. It is in learning from our mistakes that we achieve our greatest aspirations!

edison was interviewed about the '2,000 times he failed in trying to invent the lightbulb'

he replied, i did not fail, i just discovered 2,000 ways how not to make a lightbulb :) (he learnt from his past errors and moved on! like the EU and Evolution are the result of learning from the past!

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]

getting my drift...my angle?

Is see we are not thinking along the same plane

Of all the empires/alliances that ever there was...........how many are still on the go/lasted...eeemmm....think Daffy!

THATS MY FRIGGIN POINT!! the EU is the realisation of the past instances and from learning from it!!! the EU is a far more flexible body that the empires of old and is ABLE to adapt and change as required through consititutional changes! yeeecsh

They evolve....in cycles.......meet the immediate needs of the time, then fail/ collapse.....longer view daffy...

Dude, I can tell your not into science, evolution is not cyclical. it does not come full circle. It is a cycle?

Definition of evolutions include

# development: a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage); "the development of his ideas took many years"; "the evolution of Greek civilization"; "the slow development of her skill as a writer"

# (biology) the sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or taxonomic group of organisms

PS Turn the light bulb out when leaving the board!!...

your funny, ill give you that :)

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]

You brought up evolution...no evidence of this

I know i did, im not saying you did,

you said its cyclical when clearly it is not - even by definiton (see my post or google the darn definition!)

as to understatment, i dont know you well enough yet mate but i dont doubt you :)

as to political entities, yes i agree there are element *cough BNP *cough* but that is some people who cannot learn form history and/or move on to higher tolerances and see the bigger pic.

peace out

awww peace, gotta love it.

oh wait.. i must be cyclical! WAR ON FRANK!!! !!!!!!! :)

just playing, i know what you mean - i hope you can just see what i mean? (not the evolution part - that is self evident DEF)

but that if we learn from the past and from our 2,000 ways how not to make a lightbulb then one day, we too, shall invent our political lightbulb!
