News / British moved to POLAND on BBC tonight [74]

Can you give examples of when the BBC have portrayed Poland badly?

Michael Palin was seen interviewing a man with a moustache. Blatant stereotyping.

Quoting: tornado2007
Secondly i then watched a program about polish football hooligans and NAZI'S yes NAZI'S in POLAND!!!!!

what about the BNP and NAZI's in ENGLAND (or indeed anywhere in the world)

Theres no contradication to being a member of the BNP in England. There is a contradiction in being a Polish Nazi.

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

Why does Poland not like Russia?

Most of the posts added to this thread today would have gone someway to answering your question however they have myseriously 'disappeared'.

Now I know how Burmese monks feel.

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

Well but who will help us in our evolution? Estonia? Poland? May be Georgia? Ha-ha....heap of hungry european ragamuffins....Unfortunately, you can only preach us with only one idea in your head, how to steal easily our natural rscorces....

Thats all Russia has though. No technology, science, arts, industry or commerce. Its a sad reflection that all you have to offer the world is a quirk or geology. Not much to be proud of there.

Unfortunately this is set to continue as long as the Russian people keep the same subservient serf mentality that has seen them through the tragedy that is their history.

Russians are always looking for the 'strong man' to lead them to glory, but all they get is demagogues and nut cases.

News / Third World War and the role of Poland [82]

Surely they are the very people you should be negotiating with.

Russia is in a good position in terms of natural resources but it shouldnt get carried away. Economically Russia is still a small country however you measure it. Its corruption, internal political situation combined with its treament of its neighbours makes it a very unnattractive place to invest or do business.

It would be difficult to provide examples of when the Poles SHOULD have supported Russia? Often Russia seems to set itself up in opposition to its neighbours rather than seeking allegiances with them, even now with economic boycotts against Georgia, against Ukraine, against Estonia, against Poland.

Russia must be a difficult country to love if you're a neighbour.

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

Agree with you, my work collegues have actually sent me to Coventry (wont talk to me or recognise that I am there) because I talk and socialise both inside and outside of work with our Polish workers. They are totaly stupid, ignorant and uncultured.

Funnily enough my brother work in a factory in Coventry where most of the staff are Polish and he says people get on fine. How ironic.

UK, Ireland / Do polish people honestly think its a better life in the uk? [17]

Britain, as a whole gains

Poles are coming and taking the lower paid jobs from the unemployed and vulnerable English workers.

True, but Britain as a whole is gaining. If you look throughout Europe the 3 countries doing the best economically are Britain, Spain and Ireland. The 3 countries with the laxest borders. This isnt a coincidence.

Life / Sending teabags to Poland as a gift [20]

If you go up north in England you'll sometimes see hand written cardboards signs in cornershop windows saying 'we sell bread'. It like rationing is still in effect.

UK, Ireland / Do polish people honestly think its a better life in the uk? [17]

I would like to see a return to the old fashioned visa system but in this case, the right to work being included but for a maximum of six months without the right to renewal.

The NHS and most services industries would collapse.

No small country like England can afford to be exploited in this way.

No ones being exploited. Its a mutual contract. Both sides gain.

UK, Ireland / Is violence in the UK vs Poland natural? [19]

Maybe it happens in England less as there is perhaps less of a culture of keeping things 'in the family'. I think English male relatives would be more likely to 'have a word' *ahem* with the offender.

Feedback / THE ISSUE OF CENSORSHIP ON THIS WEBSITE [14]

Its true about the censorship on this board though. Stuff disappears, gets edited moved all without comment. Theres often no rhyme or reason as to why its been edited either.

Some people are on a little power-trip I think.

News / Is the E.U. good for Poland?? [180]

Does anybody find the word "*******'" offensive? I'm unsure why it was asterixed out in my earlier post. I also put a following post in querying why my post was edited and this was removed which is a bit overkill.

News / Is the E.U. good for Poland?? [180]

The anti-EU argument is basically 'Yeah, the 5 billion euros a year in subsidies, freedom of labour movement and access to one of the most important markets in the world economy is nice, but I cant afford to buy a house at the moment.'

The house price issue is effecting many people throughout Europe, including Britain, only we arent net beneficiaries from the EU. And yes, our house market is also being inflated by foreign buyers(mostly Russians).

Welcome to the global economy. Polands in a better position than many so quit your *******'.

UK, Ireland / Young Polish Man living in Ireland dies from injuries sustained in brawl [29]

All religions are inherently nonsensical however I have the most time for Judaism as it is the only one of the monotheistic religions that doesnt try to seeks converts and doesnt actually care what others think. Their attitude is summed up as 'we wont try to make you believe what we believe as we dont care what you believe.' Very liberal.

it nationalism that casues wars, language differences, accent dialect, group membership,
when you start looking at people as one creation like yourself then you will not say your indian, your english etc

Islam teaches this perhaps more than any other religion and things arent working out too well for them at the moment.

What you say is true as long as everyone believes the same thing. Consensus prevents conflict. Religion creates division unless you can make everyone believe the same as you.

UK, Ireland / Stop the Polish from entering the UK (yet another thread) [192]

According to the Police in London the Poles are responsible for 1 in 5 recorded crimes. Above that of anyother ethnic minority.

This almost certainly includes driving offences. Poles are dodgy drivers rather than robbers and murderers.

i like one feature in a religion which really discourages nationalism and differences, it encourages its followers and the general public to assess peopel on their character not their passport colour,

True, but this discouragement of nationalism and differences also comes at the expense of diversity and under a single belief system that must be accepted and all others vilified. However thats a different thread. :)

the reason it is highlighted is to understand factors that casued this.

I agree with what your saying am am not questioning your motives. However, I'm sure you can see that some are using these unconfirmed stories to feed there own personal issues by using a mixture of conjecture and bias.

Sometimes, maybe even most times, ethnicity ISNT a pertaining factor.

The Irish police seem to blame two Poles for the beating. Polish guest workers I've spoken to say Mateusz was beaten up by Irish hooligans.

"two Poles" or "Irish hooligans".

Interesting distinction you've made there. I'm sure the bias was unintended.

News / Racist attack against Poles via Polish language [30]

I mean, you've said previously that you havent been in Poland for 20 years (approx), so you can see why what you say could be misunderstood? However I'm sure theres a perfectly simple explanation that would clear this up.

News / Racist attack against Poles via Polish language [30]

I was in Radom some time ago, and I was told how quiet the streets are now

This sentence doesnt make sense. If you were in Poland 'sometime ago' i.e. 20 years, how can you know the streets are quiet 'now'.
