UK, Ireland / Polish in Britain - will I get decked if I speak Polish to these people? [63]

But why should they have to speak English as they work in a polish shop

English speaking nation. Not all but overwhelming majority of jobs need to require it, especially one involving customer service. The English is not necessarily to make Brits feel more comfortable but instead customers that are neither Polish of British; English is the middle ground

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

Merged: Poland among Safest European Countries for Jews Today

Says Holocaust Foundation Director

The Polish president's condemnation of antisemitism on Monday illustrates how Poland has shifted its attitude to such an extent that it has become one of the safest European countries for Jews, the head of a European Holocaust foundation told The Algemeiner on Monday.

Study / Turkish guy to study at a university in Poland. Is that problem for Polish people? [139]

Haha. It just gets a bit tiresome seeing/answering these sort of threads. A Turk in Poland should stay cautious just like I do in Turkey (3+ years ago). It is generally good practice to ask and become aware of cultural norms in nations you visit but especially so in "exotic places". Poland, just like Turkey is not a nation where you encounter the majority (Native) population walking on egg shells. Visitor simply has to do their homework on the surrounding area or events that might be nearing [IE soccer match]

- I would ask which night spots to avoid on certain days/hours
- I would ask which specific words are warnings
- I would ask if there is any clothing (gangs) or behavior (shoes on/off) that would anger locals

There is nothing specific in/about Poland when it pertains to foreigners that is not also the case in 99.99% of the cities on this Planet. Possibly the only mindf*ck for a Turk in Poland would be that as a foreigner you will naturally attract the leftist crowd but if you are a "conservative Turk" you might find their behavior/values troubling.

History / Poland in WWI [38]

As far as I remember, I was taught at school that WWI resulted from the rise of nationalisms across Europe...

Maybe the Germans and Austrians could be labeled somewhat as instigators or more precisely accelerating/increasing the conflict but WW1 did not have the figure head leaders or more importantly the atrocities of WW2, needed to label one side good and/or bad.

IMO the story of WW1 were the European Empires (all would fall with British Empire ending after WW2). These Empires had intertwined treaties (some blood connections) that led to a domino affect once the War got going. One nation protecting it's ally resulted in another nation rushing in to protect an ally on the opposite side. So the blame of who started the War or in this case turned a regional War into a Continental and then Global, was handed off.

History / Poland in WWI [38]

fighting to all intents and purposes on the wrong side

Unlike WW2, there was no wrong side in 'the Great War'. How was there even a winner announced considering there were 0 foreign troops in Germany?

I think also perhaps the fact that you didn't see Poles leaving Poland in their droves to volunteer with the Allied forces may be a source of discomfort, when compared with the Polish contribution in WWII.

"most" Polish leadership decided when it came to bargaining for Independence: the Russians were less likely to reward us after the War. Why would we side with the Allies? You seem to be judging the situation in hindsight: if Allies Won then Poland should have backed Russia. It is as simple as Germany & Austria-Hungary were more trustworthy and forthright compared to the Russians when it pertained to our Independence. We had already sided with France for many centuries and it led us nowhere.

Lastly, I don't think Polish leadership outright supported one side or another. There was no Polish Government just puppets established by the foreign powers. But most viewed Russians in the most negative light (based on their treatment of us leading up to the War). The goal was to weaken all 3 foreign manipulators, not necessarily ride alongside one side to victory.

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

Personally, I love the idea of surrendering the liberty of a national military. Surely there is noway a German ran Brussels would march troops because we "aren't cracking down on racism" or "not having democratic leadership" or "need to accept North-African refugees instead of Ukrainian"

nothanks are you British? , are you ready for years of real hard graft and austerity that will be required to dig Britain out of this hole , if so I salute you sir.

I am not British. Britain would have been forced to shoulder much of recession and migrant crisis loads anyway.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

Sadiq Khan Plans to keep London in the EU, Source Nicola Sturgeon, Talking on sky news now

Oh look, he's causing more problems

Quick thoughts
1. Surprised how bitter and revengeful the Left is over this. Suicide if Trump wins the Presidency?
2. Working middle class has spoken, the media/politicians response is: "Old people voted out of fear/propaganda and now you ruined the youths future"

3. Globalist will attempt to punish England, a message to other nations considering an EU exit

Today is a day of celebration. EU states after 2020 all EU members must convert currencies to the Euro. This is a bye bye issue for me. The currency switch destroyed Spain.

Love / Korean guy wondering about girls and life in Poland [50]

No way Elvi. You mean to stay people that turned their back on the motherland, end up race traitors? Shocking.

Sidenote: it's less a sense of being afraid and more simply self-pride. You gave up on Polska. Good riddance, don't return.

News / Poland may take the EU to court if they step up pressure -- Kaczyński [89]

Then are you calling Poles stupid for voting in government change?

Poland has made it this far without foreign help and we aren't willing to sacrifice short term help for long term manipulation.

We are Poles, we are here for the long haul. Poland is better today than when I was born. I will ensure my son can say the same.

PiS censored media organizations. Merkel is censoring individual opinions. Far worse

And I'd take tribunal manipulation over Million of undocumented aliens, massive tax hikes and complete breakdown at the local Police level.

Germany is out of control and yet EU stays quiet. Why?

Over the past year Merkel has done worse to Germany than PiS to Poland and yet EU remains quiet. Why?

EU bureaucrats LET France break budget rules 'BECAUSE IT'S FRANCE', Juncker admits

"European Commissioner Frans Timmermans said last September that countries like Poland must get used to imposed demographic changes, accepting "diversity" as "the future of the world."

Love it. Dance on the soon to be grave of the EU. Union failed once they started forcing leftist ideals AND more importantly encroaching on the sovereignty of the individual states.

Question: What are the major differences between today's EU and living under a hypothetical 3rd Reich? Left censorship instead of right? Turning us into Muslims instead of "pure" Whites? Same crap, opposite side of the extreme social engineering coin. My ancestors did not perish so that we could be ruled by German leadership anyway.
