UK, Ireland / Immgration to UK. A success? [114]

It doesn't matter - arrests are reported in the media; trials are public.

And Mail Online turned this into public town square lynching. You British are less civilized than i suspected.

It seems your comprehension of the "basic laws" (whatever that's supposed to mean)

Every individual has dignity. The principles of basic human rights were drawn up by human beings as a way of ensuring that the dignity of everyone is properly and equally respected.

they haven't been proven guilty so it's wrong to portray them as criminals. As of now they are still insistent. These are the basics.

Hardly. Dyed in the wool educated Liberal, if anything. But of course you're entitled to your views, however bizarre.

you can call yourself dalai lama for all i care.

will appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court on Thursday

I really hate people like you. You deserve it.

Surely you aren't suggesting their names should be kept secret?

Why not? Are they guilty of a crime? What if they're insistent? Your comprehension of the basic laws seems backwards.

Fits a lot of people in Poland too...

good news, you fit that description as well.

UK, Ireland / Immgration to UK. A success? [114]

Mail Online (also known as dailymail.co.uk) is the name of the website for the Daily Mail. The above article came from British Daily Mail.

Who reads daily mail?

"The Daily Mail reader stereotype is best defined by Hyacinth Bucket - late middle age, middle England, middle class. Conservative, kids at uni, wife never worked, scandalized by homosexuality and children outside marriage - oh and immigration. Enjoy being disgusted by Elton John and love reading about polo even though they've never been to a polo match. That's the stereotype anyway."

"They are the kind of people who love to be outraged, believe everything was better in their day, are afraid of change, think political correctness has gone too far while enjoying every freedom that political correctness down the years provides them, they are convinced the country is going downhill and that it is the fault of immigrants, they cling to 'great' British icons such as Princess Diana, they believe the twee little statuettes on their mantle pieces to be fine art, they don't recognize anything but figurative work to be art, they believe in the death penalty, they will swear by Britain's principles yet condemn alleged criminals before the verdict has been read."

What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

I got so sick and tired of having to run, talk down or fight my way home at night with drunk and macho polish males.

You're just a silly kid.

Polonia / What similarities would you say there are between Poles and Mexicans? [132]

besides those typical ones, I'm curious what yous think.

I think illegal Mexicans are kinda like British socker hooligans, they come uninvited, trash everything and then pretend that nothing bad happened. I can't find any similarities with Polish though. Sorry.

The main difference is in the size of the respective sombreros:

dude it really shows that you're Polish so why would you pretend to be British? Do you get off on that?

It's 9:30 and the temperature in Houston is about ... 76 degrees, mostly sunny. I just dropped in to let you know that I'm going to BBQ all day and look at the palm trees in my back yard because I don't feel like doing anything else.

Happy Easter everyone!

Seanus, its the school teacher coming out in you, absent may turn up tomorrow. lol

Just to let you know, we're not mentally wounded in any shape or form and we're doing just fine. We're not lost AND as a matter of fact some of us are more successful than you. Which is kinda sad because you're much older than us, and you thought you had it made. Stop patronizing us like we're some kind of crazy runaway livestock.

Edit:

ello' and Happy Easter

done exactly what they they you to do

Yea that's what you do in the military.

Why did you join the US military?

Because my family was poor, and the US Military offers a program called GJ Bill which pays for your college after 4 years of active duty in the most horrible places that you could ever imagine.

a lot of kids do this here.

I traded my soul for my education.

Back to the topic, please.

The difference between you and I, is ….You call me old, your way of debating is like the old WW2 pop gun, firing off in hope that you will hit something, I am a modern day missile, I take aim, home in on my target and then strike , one shot only.

And your point is? You're the one that is psychoanalyzing me for the past 3 days. Just scroll back and read it to yourself.
Btw, have you ever fired a real gun before? I think you know as much about guns as that dude form the 40 year old virgin knew about boobs. (Just in case if you didn’t see the movie, he thought that girl’s boobs feel like wet sandbags)

have seen this too, back in the day,many English school teachers came to Poland, with the idea that they are the almighty conquerers, here to pass on knowledge of the west. There was a nice example given in another " to be lionized" most of them, just washed up has beens. Poland has moved on from those days. Thank god.

Again, if you read some of your posts this is exactly how you sound. We all slip up sometimes, we're all human, but please be mindful of your "British nature" in the future.

Havok, I wish you and your family, happiness, health and togetherness this Easter. Enjoy.

Thank you Warszawski, Happy Easter to you and your family too, hope the Easter Bunny finds you :)

giving red roses to the wife of one's business partner would be very bad because they express sexual intentions

Hasn't the government deemed that a disability yet? Certainly he can get time off until this 'disease' is cured.

He decided to bring a gun to work one time, for self-defense or so he claimed. The employer called the cops and fired him on the spot. It was Friday, most likely that ruined his weekend.

Didn't you say, "bless you"?

I just asked her to cover her mouth next time. She says OK and didn't even apologize. Cute but dumb as a rock.

Very bizarre custom to offer someone to lick dog's ass in order to verify its cleanliness.
...and that's how etiquette of ass to mouth begun ;)

Was that in PL?

Being given the opportunity to study again and motivated by her sponsor,

I'm afraid that your heartwarming story proves nothing. That would be the exception, not the norm. 99% of other kids like her are going to end up in a gutter and you know it.

I don't want to get personal,when I started this thread I had people with similar traits to you, in mind. You prejudge and create a world in your mind that is just about you. I am all for a little bit of ' me time ' but you have to give in order to receive, NOT the other way round. You have a lot to offer Havok ,just learn how to give back that is the measure of success in the 21st century.

Talking about jumping to conclusions… lol . You can't even begin to imagine…

throwing money at people to make “me” feel good seems pointless but i do give when it feels moral and appropriate.

In any case, I’m not sure how you can claim to be helping people when you’re so far detached from the reality. hmm It's just illogical.

To be honest I don’t really “hate” Brits, I don’t like your animosity towards Polish and how you justify this type of behavior... (*Go ahead and imagine me saying this with a pinch of British fake pity and belittling in my voice).

I'm sure that one of those days this will come around and bite you back on your ass.

Public restaurants are where you see some humdingers:

Yeah, definatelly

When i was a kid I worked at local pizza place after school and i "accidentally" walked in on the restaurant's owner fuck1ng a waitress in one of the supply rooms. I felt really awkward, shy, kind of scared and confused as hell...

Well i got a raise and he made me a late shift supervisor for not telling to anyone. True story. I could give you his name, LMAO, but i think that would be too much...

anyways, was it rude of me not telling anyone about this work incident?... I think not. ahhh all those happy childhood memories....

the host's mother said that if I want she would kiss her dog's butt just to assure his "cleanliness".

OMG, you should have asked her to kiss your ass lol

When i was in the Navy in the persian gulf I saw this one guy scrape his barefoot with a knife, it was hot and there was no water to wash, but the sight and smell of it made me puke. Everyone of course laughed at me. I have that image/smell embedded in my head for life now.

One time on an allied forces ship we had a choice of cooked fish served for lunch. When I spited the meet out I noticed white maggots moving in there. I just got up and walked away from the table.

Do you think it was rude of me not to tell anyone else about it?

History / United States of America Vs Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth [74]

powerful neighbors, Austria, Prussia and Russia, during the late 18th century

Interesting thread, but what neighbors are you talking about? Canada and Mexico? hmm.

Poland during the 18th century was about the size of Texas. the average person in TX owns about 2 guns and missile launcher lol. Come and get us whoever you think that may be.

also, don't forget that the US is about the size of the whole Europe and there are 50 self-sufficient states. It's like trying to classify the collapse of the Polish–Lithuanian commonwealth under the collapse of Europe. Did that ever happened by the way? I guess the dark ages could count as one. anyway, it's going to be a while before we collapse so don't hold your breath waiting.

I learned to adapt depending on the environment but i want to make this a little bit more interesting so here are the crazy ones...

- I saw a guy with my own ayes stick a finger in his butt and then greet someone
- I've seen a guy puke in a bar and then wipe his mouth with his g-friend hair.
- a few times I talked to people on the phone who were occupied with a # 2 in a bathroom
- i was invited to a dinner party once and after we were done with it, we were was asked to put our plates on the floor for dogs to "clean'em". (Harvard educated peeps, not the dogs)

- i had a guy bring a cut off deer head to the office for show and tell
- i had a guy masturbating in his cubicle during working hours
- someone once wet-sneezed in my face and told me to "back off next time"

You have to plan the game, Wroclaw.

How can you even say that?

ou will have to try a little hard than that H

May I ask what you do? Feel free to be vague, I don't care for details much.

indeed. that's why i now have two kids in top schools in berlin.

Good thinking

There are national and regional competitions, the teachers only choose gifted children in individual subjects to represent the school.

I'm glad you've mentioned it again. Do you remember when I asked you about social and economic aspects of Poland?

In Poland the definition of gifted children is based on socioeconomic status of their parents, period. That was the answer i was looking for from you.

Currently the rout "B" doesn't exist. Partially this is why everyone in PL is so uptight about their appearances. (that's why I hate Spain as well, but they do it for a different reason)

This mentality is so deeply embedded into Polish society that no one hardly even notices it any more.

This is also why I'm so appalled by people who sound like you, who obviously forget what's real and get detached so far from the truth. (Or just refuse to admit it.)

I'll never forget how vicious people really are. Especially you Brits.

oh ello it's 7 o'clock already? What shall we have for tea tonight?

in smaller companies, yes. but not all.

Indeed.

So I guess Warszawski has checked out and now he's on his way to Spain. I’m a little disappointed because I thought he's true love was Poland and helping the young people there. How typical...

edit:

wait... i thought you said goodbye

is going to push the parents in the right direction

the westernization so obvious in your answers tells me that you didn't grow up in Poland. I suspect that you're being sheltered somehow form the reality.

Now I understand the glorified and naïve view in your initial post. tisk tisk, I bet a lot of Polish find you highly annoying.

edit

of course they wont tell you that to your face. lol

Italy, too much gesticulation for my liking.

I love Italians, they're open, down to earth and forthcoming. Spanish have some kind of stigma sitting in the back of their heads. I guess that's why you like Poland so much too.

There are obviously jobs in Poland. The difficulty for first timers, is getting the foot in the door on the job market.

Let's consider this hypothetical situation of a talented kid from a poor family who graduates from a "low-end high school" and can’t get in to any of the respectable colleges.

Considering all social, economical and cultural aspects of Poland, how would you predict his/her future in 10 years?

Would it be possible for this kid to bounce back somehow and get a job, let’s say, at a fortune 500 software company and work his way up to a lead software developer in Poland? Or would this be a completely far-fetched idea?

This is how I define an opportunity here.

Do you see the problem as most of the good jobs in Poland go to friends, family?

Yes, absolutely. Plus, all "fiends and family" end up being unproductive, incompetent and ungrateful pieces of crap anyways.

so I can spend more time at the Villa in Spain.

I hate Spain, they're bunch of stuck up pricks especially in Madrid. I would rather spend time in Italy.

Thank you Wroclaw.

They don't try to change the country - they leave it to rot.

Dad ,
I just want to let you know that I'm not lost and I'm doing quite well and have no dreams of rebelling or changing the world as of yet. I have a nice house with a huge backyard and a stable corporate job that pays a sh1t lot of money. I have to admit that I'm deeply suspicious of you getting in my business lately because it's my life and I'm capable of resolving my own problems, so back off and give me some room to spread my wings. I don't see anything wrong with people being different, let's say gay. Who cares, they don't bother anyone.

I have one question for you, when are you going to fix things in Poland?
Hope to talk to you next Easter.

As a guest of Poland I am 'A' political, in the UK we call them poundwise and second hand shops. lol

Interesting story bro.
in other words you’re just yet another British telling Polish People to go back. Lol. This is hilarious.

Be be proud of your heritage and roots.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. You too, I guess?

Read articles about your Poles working overseas and they cite the reason for staying in the adopted country is life is easier

It's not easer but it gives you more opportunity for development and archiving your life goals. Your article is boring British crap, I fell asleep while reading it. You know, I’m lying, I didn’t even look at it.

Havok- consider, anger management course.

And I think you should consider jumping out of a speeding train.
