Genealogy / Red Hair - recessive gene from Poland? [108]

I have heard so many Poles say that regardless of where they are. Makes me laugh but every stereotype has some truth!

News / Multi-culti (in Poland) -- roadmap to disaster? [344]

OK, Joe, now imagine, if you can, that you were born in Nigeria. What would be your plan?

Go to America and Canada where there is already a cluster melting pot.
Maybe theyll find some friends in New York, Chicago or Toronto.

News / Multi-culti (in Poland) -- roadmap to disaster? [344]

No offence, but the vast majority of Poles in Poland think that a Polish guy who doesn't pay taxes in Poland and who doesn't live here doesn't really deserve any sort of say.

When you pay taxes here, perhaps we'll listen. Until then, people like "pip" will enjoy far more influence.

Nonsense. Its not about money its about the heart but clearly you sold your soul to currency.

Work / Polish salaries - New statistics [38]

sister act

This phenomenon can be found in many many countries.

For example here North America.

You have families living in shacks or breaking down houses.
Then they have a super expensive car. They have a big screen tv + xbox + computer.
They go to the stores and buy 60 dollar games by the dozens.

These type of people then attend schools and perform really bad. They have no respect
for others or teachers that actually try teaching.
Its disgusting really.

Life / Racism and for what? (story of Egyptian guy's living in Poland) [149]

Interesting maybe it only allows North Americans to access..

"While people in different contexts can experience prejudice or discrimination, racism, in a North American context, is based on an ideology of the superiority of the white race over other racial groups. Racism is evident in individual acts, such as racial slurs, jokes, etc., and institutionally, in terms of policies and practices at institutional levels of society. The result of institutional racism is that it maintains white privilege and power (such as racial profiling, hiring practices, history, and literature that centre on Western, European civilizations to the exclusion of other civilizations and communities). The social, systemic, and personal assumptions, practices, and behaviours that discriminate against persons according to their skin colour, hair texture, eye shape, and other superficial physical characteristics."

This is what kids are taught in Toronto School Boards.

Johnny you are just wrong dude. Get over it.

In North America whites are becoming minority. People are free to say **** like cracker and all this nonsense. You go anywhere overseas and you will experience light-heavy racism.

The whole idea that whites are the only racist or largely the racist ones is a ****** myth.

USA, Canada / Moving from United Kingdom to USA. Is it worth it? [136]

Maybe he just means the US as in the government, people in charge, military and horrible foreign affairs?
Because then I would agree with him.

But there are many fine US residents who are normal people. Some of them dont want wars. They want simple life to sustain their families.

Unfortunately as is true across the globe the governments do not represent the people.

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

Here in Toronto and Mississauga there are several Polish restaurants.
Poles go there and people from other ethnicites also.

Its nothing large like the Mandarin (Chinese food) Restaurants but its sometimes busy.

Work / American English Teachers in Poland. Job prospects? [9]

I know this isnt what your looking for but its sort of on topic.

In Asian countries like Taiwan there is a large demand for English teachers.
The cost of living there is very small. And the quality of life is quite good (in some ways better than EU + NA).

USA, Canada / Moving from United Kingdom to USA. Is it worth it? [136]

If that happens, I hope your country gets invaded the very next day. Maybe try giving China a call, they'll come help out.

I think you are a bit paranoid.
Americans seem to think without them the world is a lost place.

Life / Is it me or do people "seem" to live longer in Poland? Life expectancy among Poles. [52]

Compared to the rest of the world Poland has a pretty high life expectancy.

I heard this generation (in NA and around the world) might be the first where kids live shorter than their parents.
People are eating more unhealthy, less exercise, more video games, etc.

I too am blessed with my European genes and luckily I wont turn out like some of those giants (in the stomach area) here in North America. Its really sad. I hope Europe doesnt turn out like this place.

USA, Canada / Moving from United Kingdom to USA. Is it worth it? [136]

If you are from Western Europe or the US it should be easier then from elsewhere.
To become a citizen you need to live in Canada for 3-5 years.
And theres a test about your knowledge of Canada as well.
