are you suggesting he was there for altruistic reasons or financial? I'd have bet on financial myself, but hey there are a ton of Poles in the uk for financial reasons too, i don't think beheading is the answer, or at least i really really hope it isn't.

i think this thread is missing more "we" vs "you" or "they" along with rounds of congratulating others from the same country or culture about how superior we are as opposed to "them." Then to be topped off with claiming responsibility for all positives to come out of our respective cultures, not acknowledge the positives to come out of other cultures and then judge everyone from another culture based on the very worst examples we have been shown via popular news sources.

Agreed, and voted up.

true but comments like yours better serve challenging the op than disparaging comments about poles and poland do.


why should they have to accept it? why is that fine? whether the indigenous population of a place accepts or rejects these notions is their choice and not ours to stamp with approval.

News / Poland..wake up to a multicultural world [1059]


Well, with all due respect, unless you have experienced being an immigrant in the uk his experiences as an immigrant there probably outweigh yours.



I don't get it BubbaWoo, assuming you're not being self-depricating, why would it be ok for you to slag off Polish traits but you come down on this guy for his distaste for 3rd world multiculturalism?

I admit that i'd get a little annoyed if someone spent a measly 4 months where I'm from and then started going off about what's wrong with the place but isn't that what's going on here with foreigners coming in to Poland and suddenly trying to tell Poles to be more "multicultural?"

I think that is the sentiment here and I think that's a load of b.s. If you want the multicultural experience then go back home to multi-cultural land where everyone holds hands and sings songs and enjoy your curries (to die for I admit). But If Poles decide they want to keep 3rd world immigrants or immigrants from overcrowded crap-holes out of Poland then so be it.

It seems hypocritical, ok it is hypocritical for Poles to emmigrate but not accept immigrants but it's not the fault of Poles who elect to stay within their country that other nations accept immigrants- if Stanisław Polak has been living his life in his town and doesn't want to deal with immigrants then his opinion whether we think it informed or not.

I think he's making a guess as to how the rank and file Pole will react (or has reacted).

yeah i've heard of both canucks and kiwis in selection (don't know if they got in or not) so, i think aussie's have their own sas and i think I also heard about fijans too.

and there's one canadian guy i know of who signed up for the british military (can't remember but i think it was the royal marines)- go figure.

UK, Ireland / Polish people in an english army [85]

you got to wonder about someone's motives for wanting to join another country's army. It obviously isn't a sense of loyalty or duty. It's sounds like it's more about what he can get out of the deal.

Fair enough but let's call a spade a spade here, if he joins there's a reeeeeeeally high chance that he ain't gonna stick with you once he's joined kiddo, so why worry about what he's gonna do with his life cause you won't be in it.

I know that's harsh but try to look at the situation objectively- he obviously hasn't planned you to be part of his life. If you're young then it's doubtful you'd enjoy life as a British Army Wife, you've got the signals you need. Even a monkey knows when it's time to change branches, find that other tree limb and then climb away.

no designer really comes up with these scents, they're just manufactured en masse and a designer rep decides which one to attach their name to. Sorry but there seems to be no obvious Polish link

News / Poland..wake up to a multicultural world [1059]

coming from a multicultural country, i have to say it is very very over rated. There are so many things wrong with pushing that agenda that i have no idea where to start. Poland doesn't need boatloads of somalis, rwandans chinese or indonesians. It's time people within a country focus on their countrymen and women first before undergoing the multiculturalism experiment.


you're a saint, thanks for telling us all how generous you were.

USA, Canada / Why aren't Polish people immigrating to Canada instead of the UK? [148]

It seems that Winnipeg (I was passing through and met up with an old friend) residents (well the ones i spoke with) are a bit annoyed at the number of eastern european immigrants of late- their sentiments, not mine. It seems, again their sentiments, not mine, that they bring more problems than they contribute. I don't know if it's a Polish thing or a Ukranian thing, to the average Canuck, there really isn't a difference. Anyway why the hell anyone would immigrate to winnipeg is a mystery to me.
