Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]
Giving a guy money that you're fairly confident he'll spend on smack is not looking after anyone.
It is if it stops him robbing an elderly woman.
Anyway, there are hundreds of islands around this nation. Set up a treatment centre on one of them. I was born in an inner city tenement. I know the scourge of heroin. You will never beat it. You can only contain it. Heroin addicts are not necessarily bad people, they are victims of an imperfect society.
They need help, not scorn. The vast, vast majority of addicts start of in their teenager years.
A lot of people, in power, get rich due to their addiction. I suggest you look up a certain west Dublin private airport, where the owner has made his fortunes "from scrap metal during middle eastern wars". And then look up the seizure found there.
Join the dots.
If American black males ate twice as much fried chicken than American whites, you could theories that it's genetic too but I do not see anything conclusive about the theory you like because it galvanizes your views.
No, it wouldnt be down to genetics. I like fried chicken. I devour chicken wings laced with spicy sauce at least once a month. I am foodie, I love all foods.
I have the intelligence to understand that fried foods are not a basis of a good and healthy diet. There in, is the difference.
A hit-man is can be a serial killer but they are two different things.
Both are killers. A serial killer may well be more heinous in his murderous acts, but a hitman probably has a higher "score card".
A mass killer is a killer. Simple as.
Etc... but I remind you that I think many countries do not have criminal profilers like Europe do or just out and out lie about what happens in the country.
What do you mean?
Lets look at America, which contains the western worlds largest and oldest black community.
Profiling does not accommodate facts such as the comparative rates of, for example, white on black rape (negligible 0.1%) versus black on white rape (vastly disproportionate to relative populations) in the United States. The criminality is a fact. Whether it is genetic, or the product of environment, is not really the issue. It happens. A lot.
If a threat exists, then it is surely legitimate to point that out, especially when a relatively new country, like Poland, is considering its policy regarding this specific demograph.
American blacks commit 35.6% of white robberies, 37.2% of white robberies where property was taken, and 46% of white robberies where the victim was injured. By contrast, whites were responsible for zero* cases of robbery where a black victim was injured. Again, blacks are negligibly likely to be injured in a robbery by a white person, whereas over 33,000 white people were injured while being robbed by a black perpetrator.
This is all available on the FBI's very own site.
Strange that you think multicultural is anything BUT what you have not experienced, there's no overlap in the above two statements.
Being multicultural does not mean more africans, muslims and more welfare reliant foreigners.
As I said, my earliest memory was as a three year old in the 1990s when Ireland were in their first ever WC. I have vague recollections of that time. But growing up, I would say I experienced a very multicultural upbringing. I played foreign sports. I watched them too. I was encouraged to learn foreign languages. Every Friday, for example, when I came home from boxing training, I accompanied me ma to the local Chinese to pick up dinner for me, her, me gran and all me brothers and sisters. We used to order new dishes every week. After a while, Friday became our night when we tried to cook new dishes ourselves. Cheaper, healthier and more fun.
A bonding experience. I love foreign food, but now I dont need the foreigners here to cook it. I would walk into 90% of kitchens in europe and get a job as a chef. No matter what the cuisine.
There are levels of corruption, Ireland's politicians have destroyed Ireland's economy, when do you think Ireland will be in the plus again?
The point I want to make is that this was Irish people, feckin over what you call "their own".
Each and every Irish politician, if in power, would sign whatever the EU tells them to.
Without question.
They dont give one fook about our country.
PS- Brian Lenihan and Cowen were the lads whom decided to give accession state nationals unlimited right to live and work in Ireland.
Just a point of order.
You posted about how the Turkish King gave foreign aid to Ireland during a famine, it appears he didn't draw a line around Istanbul (or wherever he was from).
Yes, yes I did. I love history and never deny historical fact.
It does not suit narrative, what-so-ever.
It is up to you, to ask yourself, why such a nationalist, whom is up to date on history, is taking such a stance.
We also sent millions to the Turks after their last earthquake. Debt is well paid.
Drogheda Uniteds crest is an incorporation of that historical fact.
I find that the foreigners in Ireland have made Irish people realize what being Irish actually means, you can see it in the upsurge in people wanting their kids to be fluent in Irish.
I would agree and disagree. Some do, some dont. As you may be aware, due to my previous posts, I have a younger brother, still in primary. We took him out of his primary school due to the amount of time teachers had to spend on teaching foreign nationals English. His teacher told me this herself. Lovely young girl. Around my age. I thought I was in there, but I recourse..... My sister spend two hours after school teaching him, so this wouldnt affect him. We choose the english speaking primary school as it is practically next door to me sisters gaff. We made a "donation" and now he is attending the Gaelscoile. Its a 25 minute walk for him each morning, but his thriving.
I attend meetings when my sister cannot. The amount of parents whom cannot speak a word of Irish, but nod their heads when the teachers/principles are talking is hilarious.
Nearly as hilarious when they wrap it up and ask if anyone has any questions. When the young lad, with the short back and sides, West Dublin accent and Shamrock Rovers tracksuit on, asks them a question in perfect Irish, half the room looks back in shock. I find it funny.
I get the feeling that you think Irishness or Irish culture is something stagnant, something too weak and can't stand up with cultures. I really don't believe that at all.
No. I think it can be overwhelmed. Like any culture. I could list examples if you are interested.
You scold at how St. Patrick's day is, it's not Irish anymore etc... It changes, evolves and trying to hold on to something that was way crapper before foreigners got a hold of it is folly. when I was a kid St. Paddy's day was crap, it was the Americans who really celebrated it.
Saint Patricks Day is an Irish celebration.
I was in the Dublin parade as a four year old with me homemade car(large pampers box with a steering wheel).
Me ma still has it on VHD.
I won the bonny bay contest in 1988. My big blue eyes won the day!
Its an Irish day.
We also have africa day.
A large celebration for Chinese New Year.
Our culture isnt included. Why should we include theirs?
At the end of the day, immigrants are sinners and saints, like the rest of us. I wouldn't think that which nation of immigrants is best but that a criminal record be checked.
Well, I would say America. The thing is, America is a continent sized nation with the resources to match. It was vast, it was open. Why do you think they awarded the masticated black slaves with with 40 acres and a mule?
They had the land. It was conquested land, but. When I was in America, I made contact with the choctaw tribe. I feel bad for the trail of tears and that my fellow compatriots forced them to walk that trail. Yet, they still sent my people, vast amounts of cash. Millions, in todays cash. We should award the remaining 300,000 of them Irish citizenship.
I am an immigrant living in Poland, this topic is about me (not just me unfortunately:)
Yes, I know that. But it is up to the Polish citizens, if they want immigrants. If the Irish people voted yes in a hypothetical referendum regarding immigrants and all Irish immigrants were sent home, yet Ireland voted yes in a hypothetical referendum to accept all foreigners, I would accept it.
Poland is a nice country. I visited it twice, briefly. I spent a grand total of eleven days there.
I found Polish people nice, aware of Ireland, they have good beer but I prefer Czech.
The beer is unreal.
And Poles in my nation? Even they claim most came here to make a quick buck, by any means possible.
Theres a Polish barmaid in my local. We get on well. Shes a lovely wee lady.
If 10,000-20,000 Poles arrived in Ireland, I wouldnt even care.
Its the number I am worried about. Just the number.
Theres actually two Polish kids in me wee brother Jays class. Them two will learn Irish too.
But anyway, Polands immigration policy should reflect the needs of the nation. Just because the UK, Ireland, America, Canada and Australia accepted Polish citizens, does not mean Poland should have to accept everyone whom wants to live there.
These countries accepted them for a reason. Not for their benefit. Not because of "humanitarian".
