My neighbours in Poland are stealing all my things

Personally, I would rather starve to death

They must have been dog-fish.

No matter what the subject Michal manages to come up with some story that makes out the Polish nation consists entirely of beggers thieves and scoundrels...I have just had a whole pile of my stuff nicked by Polish people, but nevertheless remain convinced that most Polish people are great folks...What the hell happened to Michal.....?

We have a friend who is a Polish doctor and she was in London in a GAP shop. She was close to the exit and she heard Polish being spoken behind her. Next thing the alarm goes off as the Poles stole a whole pile of pullovers from the display and run from the shop. Even though the alarm went off, the staff did nothing about it. Probably in London, they are used to their stores being targeted by Poles. They mist have got away with a hundred pounds worth of goods that morning.

yOUR NOT GOING TO TELL US HITLER WAS POLISH ARE YOU...?

then its their fault for being so naive.

TheDude knows a few security guards in Edinburgh and they say that more Scots are caught stealing than Polish people. It isn't a problem at all in Scotland.

Our society has certain conventions and it is to be expected that these foreigners are to behave themselves. If caught, I would not have the slightest hesitation in deporting them.

crime is half desire, the other half is opportunity

and which society would that be then?

wildrover. just watch your stuff. get the police to go by where you live every now and then so nobody will take your stuff.you are a good person I admire what you do for Poland.you sound like you have a big heart. hope things will go good for you. about ealier. no hard feelings here about my posts. I am really a nice person.

so sorry about everything. I never want to offend people.

micheal stop making fun of the polish people for god sakes. they are good people that been through a hard time in history give them a break.

Hey don,t worry about it....People on here give a bit of stick now and then, but most don,t get really nasty...You are entitled to say what you feel , but you can expect to get a few comebacks if you say anything about race or colour ...There are people on both sides of this argument , and it seems to be the subject that upsets people the most....best avoided really......

Every society has conventions. What is your question?

Sorry, I must remember to type in words of one syllable so you will understand me better

which...so..ci..et..y do you be....long to?

was that too difficult for you

do oink oinked hasoinkig oink oinkish ?

you are the master pig michal .......respond the question ;)

Yes, far too difficult. Can you explain it better in simple English or better still, write it in Polish for me?


And you say that you are a civil servant, what a joke!

Where ? What's the joke ? Did you make one ? Can we all laugh at it ? Or shall we just all laugh at you ?

LOL

...Ok ...boxing gloves at the ready...this should be good.....

no wildrover lets not bring up race. I was stupid to bring it up.
I do not like people making fun of eachothers country. nobody is perfect.
its best to talk about other things. hope things get better for you.

Did I make one what?

Anyway, this is all getting off the subject about the Poles and what a load of 'tea leaves' they are!

I rather starve to death before I eat my Harley!!!!

oops I just found a can of Heinz beans

that should last me atleast 10 days??

Funny that you should say that as some years ago there was a man, and I think he was in America who entered the Guinness Book of Records for eating his own car! I wonder what he had for pudding?

well observed ;)

Absolutely !!

:)

You have to remember that in Poland it will be your nearest neighbours who will steal from you even more than those who you do not know. I remember being told in Russia that it will be those who want to befriend you who will work for the K.G.B. and will report on you. Human life in Poland has no real meaning at all. Any Pole will stab you in the back eventually. I remember I had a friend who lived in Warsaw and this is years ago when there was still Communism and it was still illegal for the Poles to come over here and work in cafes ect. She had to move on from time to time and hide her tracks as whenever a Pole realized that another Pole had a job they would phone the police in London and report them. There is an old English expression 'there is no valour among thieves'. Remember that.

Hi wildrover. I lived there for many years and as much as I liked it I had to accept it as it was,not as I wanted it to be.At first I saw it trhrough rosy coloured glasses and I defended the place vigourously against my colleagues ,I find myself admitting they were right now.

Poland is a very unfair place and a good way to get success there is to abuse ones power,do something illegal,abuse one colleagues,and generally be very dishonest.Those types do very well in Poland and the decent folk get left behind.

Survival doesn't come into it,they do it...Bo trzeba as I was told many times.
I hope you have a nice life in Poland,it still has a lot going for it and maybe it will be better one day. I would say you need to be realistic,but try to stop yourself being pessimistic. When you've been there a few more years I would be interested if your experience will be the same.

If nothing else,you'll be a much wiser person for the experience-and thats never a bad thing.
