UK, Ireland / The slow, whiny death of British Christianity [86]

London is the capital and full the brim of foreigners (aparently the streets are paved with gold!)...I live amongst Churches (Catholic, CofE and Othordox) and Synagogues, not a mosque in sight and there are plenty of nice little quaint villages that you can see how life is in England..not some cess pit like London.

There are also plenty that are converting to Catholosism because it means they dont have to send their kids to school with 3rd world immigrants who cant even speak the language :D

Net migration will be scaled back to the levels of the 1990s - to tens of thousands rather than hundreds of thousands. Introducing a limit on migrants from outside Europe coming here to work is just one of the ways the Government intends to achieve this.

Better late than never, now if Eastern Europeans stop marrying pakisin sham marriages we'll be even better off.

I see Poland are in good company ;0)


By your average Brit, they are just living their lives without having religion involved and dictating what they do or how they act. But i think the article is quite misleading, there are 1,000s of dodgy African churches popping up in the UK and growing in numbers..

This site aims to provide the most comprehensive listing of Black-majority, Black-led and Asian churches in the UK. These churches are among the fastest growing Christian organisations in this country today.

Nothing Christian about these churches though:

News / Poland sends firefighters to help Russia [67]

There are so many things that make me smile and make me happy in this world, but reading that Poland are helping Russia had made me realise that even deep wounds can be healed..Russia are suffering so much and Poland have gone some way to help..cudos! My prayers are with Russia and hope the fires die down and those affected will get the help they need x

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]


Bollox, the British have been leading and not enacting some script...Scrawled on a "wall!" ...If it were so, we'd be lagging behind! Me thinks those words were written by some tossy middle class fuckwit who had no idea! The Industrial Revolution was fueled by the working class whilst those writing this rubbish were deciding what to have for dinner! Please dont quote one persons pathetic one liner without knowing the history of your country!!

For those that have written England off and think its a mire with no future, please feel free to leave or dont bother coming back, some of us love "gods own county"..my green and pleasant land! FOREVER ENGLAND! FOREVER ENGLISH!..This isnt a racist statement, this is a fact! Same as those on this board as Polish and proud of it.

UK, Ireland / Homeless Poles living on barbecued rats and alcoholic handwash? [62]


NO they wont..simple fact is these people are eating rats because they are in limbo, no job and no rights to benefits, but what they do have is the choice to go home at the expense of the tax payers here...which as pointed out is cheaper than funding their frequent visits to A&E because of alcohol poisening due to drinking hand wash! Having read the article once again, I personally would put them on a coach (certainly not a flight) and deport them, they are not excercising their right to work so therefore they have no right to be here...

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]


Yawn! All the staff at my local Sainsburys are English..aparently doing the jobs that the immigrants here dont want to do!

Negatives and positives depend on the point of view - for instance, an employer is rubbing his hands at the thought of masses of cheap labour, where as your average working class Brit isnt...You see where Im going with this?

As I said Britain has been constantly evolving, please take time to read the link, it might explain a little bit about my little Island :D

UK, Ireland / Homeless Poles living on barbecued rats and alcoholic handwash? [62]

Its very sad, but as you can see from the article, they have the option of going home, surely life cant be that bad in Poland.

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]


We adapt to change, its part of life and Britain is an Island that is constantly evovling, Im sure my parents notice the change and sure my grand mother (if alive) would notice the change...30 years ago we had a thriving rag trade (industry producing clothes etc.) we now import and have a thriving highstreet trade..Whilst I agree its not all rosey in the UK, Im hopeful of change, however slow it may be, the UK is not ready to give yet and let the animals run the zoo! We just sat on our laurels for a while and didn't react to situations as we should, but this is being dealt with.

As for WB I wish him luck, he'll need it...


Good points and you expressed yourself well and yes there is some power left in this country and some of us still have that British spirit that was instilled in us by our parents!

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]


Thats funny, Bury has a lovely new shopping centre and the centre of Manchester has undergone extensive work...must be the shithole where you live thats so rotten,


Really? Everyone I know is working and holiday several times a year! Again, must be the people you know..

Please dont make the UK out to be some hell hole because its not.

As for the roads, we had a bad winter and this has caused lots of problems, these are being sorted out.

Love / Possibility of Marriage with a Polish lady [96]


He lives in Iran so its doutful, women are stoned for less in his country so I doubt they'll take the chance of starting a relationship with a stranger in a supermarket!


He sounds like a stalker obsessed with virginity.

Sorry to be harsh but having read his posts again, it's just another pervert asking personal questions about a population of women.



I think we all know what's on his mind!

Love / Possibility of Marriage with a Polish lady [96]


Roman Catholic and yes its a "sin" to have sex before marriage (for both a man and a woman), but culturally its the norm for people who are in relationships to live together and have sex before they get married.

Polish girls are not really different to any other kind in the West, some a chaste and some are not.

As for Iran, how's it all working out for Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani?

Im not saying there arent good looking Polish men, but my personal view is that there are more good looking Irish men - its probably just my preference.

Love / Is it common for a Polish woman to date multiple men at the same time? [46]


She is just as bad for getting involved - wedding rings serve as a warning "dont touch" "keep away" - both parties know they are doing something wrong...The whole "but he is married" line is a pittyful excuse and doesnt make her devoid of any wrong doing.

"no thank you" is quite easy to say.


Not all of them and coming here and venting about something your husband has done isnt going to solve anything...I suggest you get your hubby back and make his life a f*cking misery for a few months and them dump him....Then take him for every penny he has...

Really sorry but you must have been dragged up, because the first thing you learn is, using bad language round your elders is wrong and dissrepsectful.


I know what you mean, usually the middle finger is given by the arm pointing up :D It's not something that's used so much these days if at all in the UK.

Work / From the USA, is it hard to study in Poland? [44]


What other countries? As far as I was aware a Polish degree is transferrable in the EU..So if he wanted to work in Europe afterwards he'd be fine.

As for America, its got world top ranking education facilities...You cant argue with the facts.

Life / Yard waste / plastic burning - is such typical behaviour in Poland legal? [30]


I suggest you check what your council tax covers, it's not just the rubbish you generate so £100 is not just for rubbish collection - you have every right to complain about not having your bins emptied (you are paying for a service) - ALL of mine are done EVERY week without fail, so I have no idea what kind of place you live.


This would be the logical thing to do, although he evidently thinks complaining on a forum will do something ;0)


What's the Poilsh way? What's humiliating about demanding a service what you pay for? Oh and its the not goverment who are doing anything, its your local council, they have their own budgets, it's them who you pay your money to, not to the government, but you thinking it was the government was definately a funny idea!


UK communist? Just because we had state owned companies, that doesnt make us communist.


You mean the ratable value of a property determined the cost of rates and water rates in tandum? Not always the case though Jonni - it was slightly more complicated.

As for water being a state matter...oh no its not: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Utilities

Love / 'Battered husbands' - still a taboo subject in Poland [387]


I dont condone any violence, but if a person has to restrain a person to stop them causing them harm, then yes restraining is fine.

Solving what? If you are with an abusive person, there's no point in trying resolve it, these kind of people never change...Walking away and leaving them to it..is the best option, why compromise your own safety?


As I have said, women have suffered abuse for years, in this day and age, women have more support and its easier for them to leave abusive men, some women chose not to, so yes I would call these women stupid, women who generally stay with abusive partners rarely complain about the abuse, becuase its part of their life and they have little or no self-respect or self-confidence, they accept the abuse. If a man decides to stay and get abused by his wife then he's stupid and if he complains about the abuse, he's a whiner.


He was dressed up as a girl by his mother from a young age and made to watch "what ever happened to baby Jane" this was bound to have an affect on him sooner or later :(

Yes Southern rape happens between two people when one person is not consenting, doesnt matter if they are married or not..rape is rape.


Actually it has it own category, its called "sexual abuse", mental abuse and physical abuse are two different things.

medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/physical+abuse

physical abuse any act resulting in a nonaccidental physical injury.
psychoactive substance abuse substance a.
sexual abuse assault or other crime of a sexual nature, which need not be physical. Actsof a sexual nature are considered abuse if performed with minors or nonconsenting adults.

substance abuse use of a substance that modifies mood or behavior in a manner characterized by a maladaptive pattern of use. See also substance dependence, under dependence.

Mental abuse

Definition
Harming a person through emotional abuse, sometimes called mental abuse, means there is a consistent and chronic pattern of maltreatment that is causing significant distress. Mental abuse interferes with a person's ability to develop healthy and stable patterns of relating to others

I know what the thread is about, I was giving my point of view as a woman, same as Zimmy does as a man on threads about women.


Whats cowardice about removing yourself from an abusive relationship? No need to hit back, just move yourself out of harms way.


The law in your country is different to the law in mine. In the eyes of the law, a person committing a crime is punished regardless of their gender.


I understand that a "person" can be a victim of all kinds of abuse.

You sound like a bit of a whiner...May I suggest you take some self-defense classes and join a running club, so when the girls at school pick on you, you can either stick up for yourself or run away fast enough that they cant catch you!

Love / Need Advice: I have fallen in love with a Polish woman... [65]


She managed to move to foreign country and find a home and a job, so surely such a resourceful woman could find another in her own country? As for the children being out of a home, its their father, he's not going to turf them out. So its just a bull excuse, she's hedging her bets and if it doesnt work out she gets to go back to the poor sap in Poland...


I was talking about homelessness and property ownership, not our class system or land ownership. Homelessness and home owning is not nation specific..please read my post again.

I see you've read the book "how to win friends and influence people"

Love / 'Battered husbands' - still a taboo subject in Poland [387]


My point you idiot, is that women just get on with it...It has nothing to do with revenge, some women just wont put up with abusive men so they hit back, as for women that hit men..Men are free to walk away..


No, Im not the one who is stuipd. I understand what abuse is, but didnt you forget the third? It can also be sexual, thats why women suffer from repeated rape by their wonderful husbands/partners. You say that case law is sexist? What country are you from? Because in the UK ABH is a crime regardless of a persons gender.


Not particularly, reading pathetic threads like this tends to put me off somewhat.


Okay fatty, why dont you go and play on the nearest motorway, I seem to remember that video you made of you distressing your wife, that's a kind of mental abuse, wouldn't you agree?

UK, Ireland / What's the rule on 'the UK' but just 'GB'? [60]


They're two different things, one is a country the other is a collective of countries - "Great" can mean large, not just superior.

The term "Great Britain" (and the abbreviation 'GB') is the traditional 'short form' of the full country title 'the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland',

Love / Need Advice: I have fallen in love with a Polish woman... [65]


Whats not to understand? Do you think the above only goes on in Poland? Besides if they own the property and both names are on the deeds, she is entitled to half of the property..People become homeless all around the world, not just in Poland...Its not a cultural thing, neither is it nation specific...

She's telling lies to some stupid British bloke who is taking it in like an fool, anyone who comes to a forum looking for answers should be shot for being such a retarded!

Love / 'Battered husbands' - still a taboo subject in Poland [387]


Then you know phuck all.


Most women keep quiet about abuse and suffer for years..its a matter of shame...a few blokes get punched or scratched, they're whining...Given that men are generally better positioned financially, why dont they just leave, women generally only stay because of the children and because they cant aford to, oh and the fact they are scared shytless because of years of mental and physical abuse.

An old friend of mine was abused from the age of 14 by her boyfriend - they had 2 kids, he used to knock 10 bells out of her, lock her in a bedroom while he was sha*gin some wh*re in another room and tell her if she tried to leave him, he'd kill her and the kids..it took her 10 years to leave him and 10 more to build up her confidence. This is by no means an isolated case.

I do agree that abuse is wrong, but men are crying about something that women have been putting up with for years and years and years..

Love / 'Battered husbands' - still a taboo subject in Poland [387]

Untrue, there are plenty of support groups in the UK for abused men..I dont think that the stats for abused men will ever reach the same levels as abused women though!

*women got sick of being punch bags, now men are crying because the worm has turned, if it wasnt so tragic, I'd laugh*
