UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Atch: thank you for your message! It is pure common sense but you know "here" as they have no personal experience, they just have to rely on propaganda found on the net. Yes, like you say, it could have been "no big deal" as London is a grown up and democratic city but here in Poland, they can't get over it (I was checking various Polish fora and it's "panick on board" ..)

@TicTacToe; the theme is London's new mayor and it happens that he was and is in favor of same sex marriage ;). He is also for women's rights (including abortion), pro EU and pro business. Are you and your fellow fascits get sick over London's election???? My goodness, can you accept democracy? People have voted by 57% for a guy NOT because he's muslim but for his program, his personality.

PS: the Polish jerk did not even make .... 1% whereas the Muslim guy made ... 57%! "lol"

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Gumi: for your info, we foreigners in Poland are here for business and/or because of Polish spouses/partners. We don't come here for 4,000 ZL per month ;)

@Gumi: I am no ... gast arbeiter! We westerners are not in Poland for ... bread ;) and we often pay more in tax than average Poles do (I do)

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Dougpol: it is really something to discover "fasholand" ;). Fortunately, although a tiny minority, there are Poles who are enlightened because you would imagine you are in ... Afghanistan ;). A London friend of mine (of Polish parents) told me tonight that he is ashamed of Poland....

@gumi: do you think that W. Europe is a battlefield, like in the games you play on your console????? So why tens of millions of Poles in w. Europe???? I suppose they don't think the way you do because contrary to you, they do know the reality ;)

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

@gumi: I have been several times to Brussels Airport and ???? There are also a lot of Poles living in Brussels (not only those working at EU) but also cleaning ladies, guys working in construction and ????

@Delph: there are so ignorant that they think that we have a war !!!!!

If W. Europe is so bad, why so many Poles there?????

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Gumi: for the millions of Poles living around the world as they don't want to live in Poland, it's fortunate for them that other countries ARE multi ;). May I remind you that even countries such as Turkey and Iran took in Polish refugees when Poles were in bad situation.

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

Everywhere the turnout is less than 50% but would you have asked if the other one had won??? What I mean is that voters who have elected Khan have been able to go beyond his religion and focuse on his program, his personality. This shows how mature voters are. Ant his is why I mean that it proves that multi cultural societies are reality. And yes, it shows that the Adrian, Levy, Johnny, Mafketis and consorts who have no PERSONAL experience would like to tell us that people hate each other, that they kill each other is wrong. For sure, there are far right and populist parties exploiting the least educated and least privilegied, but such parties although very loud cannot win general élections.

I maintain life is completely normal in western Europe.

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

Thanks, Doug, to remind us! ;). And yes, this also proves that W. Europe is NOT what those who of course have never lived there claim.

No, in w. Europe, we have no war and we have normal lives and the huge majority of people would not even dream about living elsewhere ;)

Well, Doug, no need to tell you how thick some are!

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

@Adrian: if things were so bad in W. Europe, why are most people there satisfied? There are NO hords of W. Europeans leaving their countries and applying for asylum to Poland for instance ;). There are even millions of let's say Poles who live in W. Europe (including over 1 miilion Poles in France who have been there for generations but some 3,000 French in Poland (businesspeople and a few Franco-Polish couples). As to copying-pasting, you should know that acts of terrorism and pure petty crime have nothing to do.

Contrary to you, I have lived in w. Europe for over 30 years so contrary to you, I don't need to rely on BS from internet to know how life is. And YES, the big majority of people are satisfied with their lot and today's London's election confirms it. How many w. Europeans live abroad. Since I know figures about France, about 2 million French live abroad (over 90% of them are businesspeople or mixed couples) for a total of over 66 million people.

If we were to listen to you guys, we could believe that W. Europe is a huge battflefied, with people killing each other every 10 seconds etc etc. Everybody from W. Europe knows it is pure bs because life is completely normal and YES the HUGE majority of people have no "issues" with others. But of course, you and consorts know better than people from there ;).

PS: for sure, in the US, NO crime! When I lived in the US, I could not keep my windows opened, I had to check that nobody was on the back seat when I entered my car, etc etc ... While in the US, I have several people murdered (including a couple I knew found beheaded Inside a garbage can ) so please keep your lessons to yourselves, you Américans!.

PPS: sorry if W. Europe does not fit you, but stop telling BS about it because enough is enough!

Anyway, London's election shows that you are wrong!

No, it shows that you are wrong about western Europe! I understand that it's a big slap into your face! As to your personal insults (= lack of arguments ;)), you can sh..ve them!

Well, get drunk out of despair! I need to log out and tomorrow I'll buy a botlle of good wine to celebrate a victory against fascism!

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

London's election shows you and your consorts that you are all wrong! Huge slap to you!

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

and also a proof that all the BS we read here from fascists does NOT correspond to western European reality. What a symbol! We in western Europe are for most of us perfectly capable of living together in peace with others and London's election proves it. Only the Levy, Mafketis, Johnny Reb, Adrian and consorts cannot understand it because they refuse to look at REALITY....

The world is changeing and let's leave the racist and social misfits out!

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

@Delph: come on! Just realize what has just happened in London! A huge slap in the faces of fascists and what a delight! ;)

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

I hope all of them but once Polish racists are out, London will look more pleasant ;)

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Adrian: where do you think EU's budget comes from? From cabbages and roses? ;). Nope, simply paid by taxpayers from Western Europe.

PS: I just hope the new London mayor will kick all Polish (and other) racists out!

Mr. Khan: Champagne! :)

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Adrian: in the meantime there are tens of millions of Poles living in West Europe, including in UK and London and also in the meantime Poland does not mind living off Western European (including black, Jewish, Muslim, atheist ...) taxpayers ;).

tonight an English friend of mine, son of Polish parents, told me that Poland and consorts were the shame of Europe!

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Doug: it is also the proof to those style Levy, Mafketis, Johhny Reb that Western Europe is NOT as they believe it is. Most people in Western Europe have NO issues with those of different origins but in order to know so, we have to have a personal experience living in such countries. I am sure that mayors like Bill de Blazio of NY, Anne Hidalgo (daugther of Spanish janitors) of Paris (before her, Paris had for some 12 years a openly gay mayor, Bertrand Delanoë, and NO problem ;)) and other progressive mayors will open Champagne tonight ;).

Doug, I believe that although fascists are loud, they are minorities in Western Europe. The majority of London voters have shown that they are open minded and mature and honestly, bravo to them!

For us in Western Europe, to elect blacks, jews, homos, muslims, atheists,or whatever is NO problem and I am proud of it:).

@Nothanks: Low birth rate in Western Europe???? Compare with countries like Poland where they regularly have to close whole classes. in schools ;). Anyway, London election shows you how wrong you are!

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Doug: Bravo to the majority of London's voters! What a symbol of tolerance and maturity! A huge slap in all the fascists's faces!

A good proof to all racists in PF that most Western Europeans live peacefully in multi cultural societies. In London, there are some 100 different nationalities, which show how tolerant and open the society is. I suppose a lot of Poles will leave London and go back to Poland so what, good riddance! London does not need racists!

Most of London's voters have been able to go beyond his religion and voted for a self-made liberal, progessive lawyer and it shows a lot of maturity in them!

Bravo and good luck, Mr. Khan! :)

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

@Adrian: how the hell can "white" Europeans be minorities in Europe when they are over 90%??? Anway, London election proves that you and your racist pals, Mafketis, Johnny Rb, Levy and consorts ARE WRONG. You do not know how it works in Western Europe so do not show us your ignorance!. Like we see tonight in London, most people have no issue to live in multi culural societies. London's election is a big slap in yours and your friends' faces.

Let Western Europeans live the way they want to and b..ff off!

Work / Where can I take full-body photo for flight attendant interview in Warsaw? [9]

@Ziemo: for something costing tens or hundreds of thousands of ZL, we might be able to "bargain" a tiny bit (I did when I bought my flat) but not for a mere 200zl. Prices charged by Polish small firms are already so low (and often I wonder how they live) and the guy needs all the money he can get. Sorry, Poland is not Marrackech or Kaboul, people pay as stated. Again 220 ZL for 2 good pictures is not unreasonable.

PS: if making 20 pictures, for instance, the guy could agree on a smaller price but not to make 2 pictures. O course, we can dream ....

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

@Ziemo: what I'm saying is that 1. a lot (= if not all) fierce antihomos are usually crypto homos ;) and 2. when someone has no personal knowledge of something (no matter what) and claims they are "experts" simply because they have read something in some bs tabloid or watch some crap in YouTube, sorry, this is not "serious". It reminds me of kids who have never tasted a given food and who claim they don't like it ;).

I personally don't talk about what I don't personally know of. If I am able to talk about Poland (if I get the thing right, the Forum is about Poland, isn't it???), it is because I live in Poland and am family connected thereto but of course I don't claim I am an expert re Polish matters ;) but of course I know more about Poland than someone who has never been here (logical ;) and living here I have a good idea of what local life is all about). When you read, for instance, Levy, who has NEVER been to Western Europe (as he was denied visas, I understand his frustration) and tries to tell us (who happen to know from experience) how it is over there (Mafketis acts the same re France) as they rely on biased random crap found on the net and NOT on PERSONAL experience. Don't tell me this is serious and shows a big "intelligence"!!!). Their hate is also UNrational and subject to pyschology/psychiatry (just like the anti-homos ;)) and it reminds me of Hitler's hatred for Jews, which could have come from traumatism when a child (well, I don't want to develop about his family life ;;). This is NOT normal in the true sense of the word to hate whole groups of people. Well, anyway, best not to waste time on jerks ;)

Well, hatred of others like we read so often here show psychogical disorders...

Well, anyway, there are enough decent and intelligent people in PF and also PF is not real life ;))

Work / Where can I take full-body photo for flight attendant interview in Warsaw? [9]

You know, after all, 110zl per picture, especially if very good pictures, is not much and I doubt you'll find cheaper in Warsawa. Just to have some lousy pictures for ID cards on which we all look like we are on death row costs some 40 to 45zl in Warsaw. I had some made last year for my ID card and believe me, they are good only for administrative purposes (no smile, looking sad...)

You'll pay 220 for 2 very good pictures (the guy will take 3 or 4 shots and you'll choose which one you prefer), which would be a + to your job application. Believe me, it is important as obviously they'll look at your picture before looking at your other credentials ;).

If you think 220zl is a lot for 2 pictures, see the money as an "investment" ;)

Good luck with your application!

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

100% sure, Smurf! Psychologists and psychiatrists have also studied reasons underneath racism, antisemitism, xenophobia etc... and they all have come to same conclusions: hating whole groups based upon their differences reveal profound psychological disorders.

People who hate whole groups of people because they are or seem different most often hate themselves in the first place.

People who hate themselves do hate others!

And as to homosexuality, it is well known that the harshest anti-homosexuals are crypto homosexuals themselves.

Work / Where can I take full-body photo for flight attendant interview in Warsaw? [9]

Sorry, no other choice! If you want good pictures, you need a professional photographer. Yes, it is expensive but isn't it worth it to "invest" in some good professional service? You know, a good or a bad picture can do a lot in favor or against someone.

220zl is not that much anyway considering the purpose of such pictures!

Good luck!
