UK, Ireland / Do East-Central European migrants in the UK differ? [16]

don't integrate or care about their surroundings.

Eh? There no city in Poland as dirty as London - don't tell me that you blame it on the foreigners.
Anyway what happened that after temporary absence you rise again beast of the generational?

It's all about the cash; ideally free cash in the form of state handouts.

I see, its a typical trait of the eastern Europeans.

History / What was better in Poland under communism? [67]

My relatives in Lublin still practice some Russian customs. For example, a three kiss greeting on the cheeks.

It isn't Russian custom, actually in old Poland kisses were more elaborate :p

USA, Canada / Poles and American Poles. What do you think about those two groups and their interactions. [85]

Well, first off it's American polaks or polish person.

Well, thanks, I kind of translated an polish expression - and secondly, it should be american polak or American Polack, eventually Pollack.

the third one, of the the young and beautiful ones on the sunny beach... is that a 'subliminal' message? ;)

You are right, there are three groups actually - Poles in America, Poles in Poland and Polish Americans!

Even elements of the American media today that have little sympathy for Polish people don't call Polish people "Polaks" or "Polacks".

Thank you for your valuable input.

Many of the problems Poland has today is to do with such over-generous practices.

What are you buzzing about, generous ?Are you trying to tell that in Poland pay, and economical realities are generous and people are spoiled? You must have be from the otter planet!

Love / Polish girls fall for Indian guys ? [217]

Nie byłoby ci miło gdyby ktoś robił tobie (lub twojej ukochanej) takie uwagi.

Maybe not but thats life!
I'm curios if somebody questioned his choice of partner - and if not - why not?:)

Love / Polish girls fall for Indian guys ? [217]

But the lack of acceptance is rasist.

Well, do you think that all families accept their son or daughter spouse - I don't think so!
Why is that racist is normal to beware of unknown factor and you asking to let it go just because his skin shade is darker ?

why not? because he is a human and may fall in love?

why do you answer for him? Do you know him and his circumstances ?
I'm asking not for his (not primary ) reasons but if somebody wondered why he is with her?
It a legitimate question as his beef is with her countrymen wondering about her motives!

It a very good question, Another one for you - anybody wondered why you're with her?

UK, Ireland / The number of Anti-English Poles... [228]

I am beginning to realise that, any suggestions on a better site?

Try there :What is Polandian?
Polandian is a collaborative blog written by a mixed bunch who live and work in Poland. We love Poland and only gripe and complain when absolutely necessary - or when we feel like a laugh.
i

However if you want to discus with Poles. well, I don't know, there are forums in polish language.

Now speaking about Vilnius or Wilno for you. I think you're right about majority of poles before the war there. But do you really think it should belong to Poland? I'm just asking, no offence.

Not only Vilno but territories surrounding the city as well, majority of residents there were Poles.
Today, nay, you may keep it, its small price to pay to keep you stay away, but do not fukk with Poles still living there or we'll change our mind.

Life / Passing your Polish language and culture to your kids [74]

your child native language may not necessarily be the same as yours, no?

its irrelevant, the child may speak also his mothers language, acquired naturally ...

not necessarily at all

Well, if his father speak English, his friends speak English and his all world speak English but his mother there no doubt that he would speak perfect English.

If his mother would speak English with polish accent then it would be more harmful to his linguistic ability than her speaking polish to him.

She is was just being ignorant, with an obvious chip on her shoulder - no offence....
And before you jump at me I don't judge her, I'm only expressing my opinion about something she choose to post on the public forum - and I didn't want to but your "defence" forced me to do it!

and some don't care to assimilate while others want to.

Sure, you should forget polish then MR Borg!
This is a silly talk, Poles in Britain are blamed that they didn't assimilate after 5 years and yet Poles are refused right to dislike Jews who didn't assimilate after 5 centuries eh?

Life / School and stadium violence in Poland? [21]

Isn't it a bit neo-Marxist, crypto-Marxist or pseudo-Marxist to attribute everything to economcs? Poverty, unemployment, low pay, etc. are nothing new

Well, state becoming nanny not a state,expectations are growing, government should give this or that, fix that or other, plebs selling it votes for bread and games like in ancient Rome.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

No, that one wasn't me ;P

Because you're a girl?
:)

I support the current Polish government and President because they are intelligent, moderate, tolerant and wise. Anybody who says the opposite is wrong. Sad but true.

hahahahaha......are you Komorowski ?
:P

Good or bad decision he'll be next.

Seriously, point is not about decision but about inability of elected representatives to deal with people in a peaceful manner - whom do they represent then?. This situation shouldn't have been allowed to escalate, and there is government to blame, a petty squabbles and utter selfishness eh!

It's a miracle he does not speak with the Polish accent. ;)

Well, if he was surrendered by English speaking environment, he wouldn't speak with polish accent anyway, and that is that, eh!
People usually encourage children to learn as may languages as possible, you said Spanish ?
Hell, that is your business anyway.
