Life / IS Poland in danger of becoming the next multi cultural sink hole? [201]

western european trash can cross its borders when ever it feels like?

Cant eastern european trash cross over its borders whenever it feels like, as well?

You did join the EU,,didnt you?

Ive seen plenty of British on this forum that arent too thrilled about the Polish Invasion of the UK!

Note to self: Its probably a good time to buy property in Poland, its has to be getting very inexpensive?

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

I can tell you that almost every European thinks that about America.

I can tell you that most Americans dont even think about Europe nor even care about it, unlike the obsessed Europeans who wake up every day and post such stupid nonsense.

Hey if the polish people don't like America or Americans then why not leave and go back to Poland?

First of all, there are not enough Am/Pols on this forum to even make a fair assessment.
Secondly, I cant recall ever meeting a Pole in the US that wanted to move back to Poland, and I know plenty of them:)

The only Anti-American crap I hear is on this forum from(JEs) Jealous Europeans, plus a few American whacko`s that have nothing better to do with their time.

Furthermore, I believe Poland is a great counrty as well, thats because I dont believe that the Poles on this forum truly really represent Poland at all! Its mostly just the angry ones that hang out on the internet all day.

Ive found Polish people in the US generally kind, fun loving people with good family values. And never hear them bashing, they love it here!!

America always had great music (crap too) but great music as well, and so did the Brits (great rock bands)

I agree as well, they both make or should I say made great Music,,,,lol

We have to take the blame for Rap though,,,sorry world, stop buying that $$it!

USA, Canada / Chicago's 1.1 million Polish Americans celebrated Constitution Day [47]

I dont see anything wrong with Polish or Irish Americans etc celebrating their heritage, its a real nice parade as well!
Everyone is friendly and having a great time. Ive never met any Polish person here yet that talked down about my country, they all seem to love it here!

Then you try and share it on the forum and they have to start slamming anything that is America.

Something is wrong with the Europeans on this site,,, Im thinking Jealousy??

USA, Canada / Chicago's 1.1 million Polish Americans celebrated Constitution Day [47]

A sea of red and white dominated Chicago's Grant Park Saturday as the city's large Polish American population celebrated Polish Constitution Day

Nice Thread PennBoy, its too bad the Europeans on here gang up and try to discredit it. They did to me in the past when I went there and took pics of the parade, as well as The Taste of Polonia

They can forget about me ever doing that again:(

The Europeans on this forum talk such nonsense, unlike like the Poles Ive met Chicago, thats for sure!!

For example signs of freedom in the West

You would welcome all these freedoms, or not, do you have a choice, who provided these freedoms?

You seem, or act like you to enjoy all the extreme pleasures of life,,so you claim?

Ive found out, from experience, the guys who talk a lot,, usually,,well its all talk, I dont believe all your babe stories and perhaps most women probably run from you also,,lol

Life / Uptight Poles [262]

I have been here for 7 months and I am beginning to notice that many Poles are so uptight.

Tak,tak tak Ironballs is a mental midget:)

I find some Polish women so controlling.

Some guys like to be controlled, to a certain extant ,,lol

Maybe it's the place you live..

I just retuned from a Polish Wedding, all nice people and fun times!!

I cant understand how people like Ironballs gets off talking all his crap about my country, when Im surrounded by all Poles and Ive never heard such derogatory comments?

Hes an embarrassment to his own kind, Im going to start showing this forum to my Polish friends in Chicago ( nobody cares anyway)

I tried several times before, but as you can tell not many Pol_Ams give this forum the time of day:(

t's ridiculously expensive! 2000 sq ft bungalow could easily set you back close to 800k to buy!!!!

Ouch! and the taxes are higher as well...

vancouver also is a booming city with killer view!

I would love to check it out someday, Ive heard nothing but good things about the place.
The farthest Ive been in the PNW was Oregon and that place is just too beautiful!

ead-end jobs like mac dicks pays $18/h.

Im telling all the Mexicans about this tomm,,,lol

The wind makes it hard.

The worst is when youre pedaling into the wind and then you get to where you are going to turn around and enjoy the wind at your back, then it suddenly changes directions...grrr!

I would join them because it's so cheap and good exercise.

I would ride my more if the weather were nicer, were one of the most bike friendly cities in America.
We have trails along the lakefront that are really beautiful, we get a like of bike group tourists in the summer as well.

wow just wow! they look like farmers! lol. never thought it was that bad. :(

They probably were farmers, thats Apple country!

Youre probably still into the Seattle Grunge look,,,lol

Yeah, the ************ want to kill the middle class and doing a good job at i

All the free govnt programs and wasteful spending have dug us into a huge ditch!

We spent over a trillion in Iraq, we could of re-built half the country with that kind of money.

Hope you find something soon:)

USA, Canada / Better life in USA or Canada? - expats opinions and your comparison [143]

Soon, we'll be riding motorcycles and bikes and walk to work, like in Europe.

The problem is that everything is so spread out here, unless you live in a major city you pretty much have to drive.

The time is almost here to look at them little 2 liter engine cars

I seen the Chevy Volt at the auto show, it looks cool, doesnt peel rubber but it can go 50 miles on one charge.
Im sure moped, scooters and bike sales will be on the rise this summer.

guesswho
yeah, very unusual indeed. First time in ten years or so (just like snow btw, lol)

We were slammed with a huge blizzard this year and now it has been raining every day for 2 weeks:(

I never been through a Tornado but have experienced a Hurricane before, Andrew back in 92
Ill never do that again!!

I cant wait for it to stop raining and warm up so I can ride my motorcycle, you seen it last summer?
50 miles per gallon, no gas problem there:)

Canadian proven reserves are allegedly 2nd to Saudis,

That would be beneficial for both our countries, thats if it can be done while preserving the wilderness.

That's where the US gets most of its foreign oil from.

I heard there are bigger reserves than in the mid-east and theres talk about tapping into it in the near future.
I dont know if its true, but I rather see the Canadians make the $$$

I have to say that our weather is great. Even now with all those tornadoes,

Kind of unusual for Tornado`s in your area huh?
Our worst Tornado month is May, but you never know?

imagine if there was no gays in vancouver, weve probably all dressed like hicks from texas and americans in chicago. :(

Still a better look than Ru-Paul...lol

UK, Ireland / Do Poles and EU Citizens exploit the British welfare state [129]

you mean, no paperwork, no prove whatsoever? I mean, I've never been in this situation and I don't know anyone who is but I thought it takes more than just apply for it and get it right away

It might be different because the law may vary from state to state, but in Chicago Ive been told that the state employees have been known to coach and aid the Illegals to get their benefits.

How many Illegal Mexicans have proper I.D.,,,,, none!

They just bring in their babies along with maybe their cousins babies as well to get as much as possible.

2 buildings away from me is this 2 bedroom apartment and there are 2 Mexican families that reside there, so Im guessing at last count Id say theres 8- 9 people living in the one unit. Every first of the month (food stamp time) I watch them pull up with a van filled to the roof with groceries, mostly junk food, twinkies, ho-ho`s etc.... Theyre probably getting $1000 a month just for food.

There are 3 women that must weigh 300lbs each, her daughter probably around 20 years old is pushing maximum density as well.
The children are all over weight, but they are living the American Dream now!
The 2 Husbands cant speak any English and they dont have jobs either, all they do is drive up and down our alleys looking for scrap metal all day.

UK, Ireland / Do Poles and EU Citizens exploit the British welfare state [129]

now people with Polish flags all over their house and backyard and cyfra+ satellite dishes stuck to their roofs, that's kinda laughable...

They do that here in Chicago as well, especially when there is a Polish holiday or when the Pope, Katyn etc
A lot of them hang flags on their cars and drive around blowing their horns all night, same with Mexicans, I dread cinco de mayo!

a lot of times people make stuff up

People have been caught here using their neighbors children as their own to cash in on extra money, the scams are endless!

people have less and less incentive to educate themselves and have a career,

I agree absolutely, If a person has worked and needs it thats fine in my book, but the scammers who keep making babies just to stay on welfare that has to stop. You cant have people on welfare their entire lives.

In Florida USA, they made the welfare recipients do community service for benefits, and after the first year the stats found a decrease of people in the program.

Maybe they figured out, if I have to work then Ill get a real paying job?

To get that kind of money is never easy (at least here it isn't).

Its super easy here, they give it to them like candy!
I was in a Mexican supermarket and while I was in line, I noticed that I was the only one with cash in hand,,,wtf!!

The more babies the more money they get,,,,,It has to stop!

UK, Ireland / Do Poles and EU Citizens exploit the British welfare state [129]

lets make the cost of living even higher so we can carry on supporting all these lowlives.

Like I said before, if you bothered to read it. If a person works for a year and then lose their job they are entitled to 6 months of unemployment benefits just like in America, then after that you are re- evaluated.

If you dont have a job or refuse to look for one just so you can have a free ride is totally wrong, and they should get the boot or perform community service if they want to leach off the system.

Ive heard of Poles that cant get into the US go to England instead so they can get on the public welfare system.

Why did you leave Poland if its soooo great over there,,, no job, no money, was it worth leaving your family for a few little welfare bennys?

Loot what you can from a sinking ship! I hope more Poles will exploit the British welfare system!

Well if they have 30 million+ for a big Royal wedding, I dont really dont feel sorry for the British
They throw 400 million a year at that old Queen,,for nothing???
All that money could be used for social programs instead of paying for rich people and their Yachts,,,go for it!!!!!!

One more piece of Polonophobic hate from delusional American idiot calling himself (repulsively) "sledz"? What a hopeless racist cretin.

UK, Ireland / Do Poles and EU Citizens exploit the British welfare state [129]

And... ? You would expect them to move out of the country on the next day after they are made redundant ?

Ya, the very next day!!! lol

People who go on welfare have a habit of never getting off it. If you lose your job you should receive 6 months of benefits, not a lifetime of food stamps and free housing. After 6 months they should have to do some sort of community service, such as picking up trash along the Hi-way etc... You would be surprised how many people get off the system then!

Of course it doesnt help very much in the USA when you have Illegals sneaking over the border just to have an anchor baby and collect benefits.

Thats one law the US needs to abolish!!

USA, Canada / Opening a small shop, and selling many Polish items in USA. Do you think this would work? [32]

I am thinking of buying from a friend in Poland, and selling them for less than the store's in Chicago charge. Do you think this could work?

I may, even, if this goes over good, open a small shop, and sell many Polish items. Do you think this would work?

I like your enthusiasm, unfortunately, I know of several small Polish stores in Chicago that have closed up over the past year or so.

You would have to compete with places like, Rich`s Polish deli and liquors, A&G`s and
wallysmarket.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&Itemid=22
Plus there are many more Ma and Pa type places left.

These huge supermarkets already have everything you can get in Poland here for cheap prices, not to mention you will have to deal with the FDA in regards of importing food.

Best of luck to you though, I encourage small businesses in our area but do your research:)

Think of all the benefits the Mexicans are getting in the USA. Not only housing and child benefits, but also ice cream money from the American government!

Its like they get rewarded for breaking the law, If I were to get caught working in Mexico Illegally they would put me in a prison.

well let's think about this.....what about the cheap labor they provide?

There are many migrant workers that come here to work and return home.

Im not against Immigration as long they do it legally and pay taxes like the rest of us.

I dont know how the UK will accommodate the influx of people on welfare, because theyre all citizens,,yes?

Were broke over here as well and have to stop giving out free handouts to Illegals, thats for certain!

UK, Ireland / Do Poles and EU Citizens exploit the British welfare state [129]

Polish workers losing their UK jobs in the economic downturn are choosing not to return home but to stay and take advantage of the generous benefits system.

Immigrants from eastern Europe who have worked in Britain for 12 months or more can claim the full range of UK state benefits, including child and housing benefit and jobseekers' allowance.

Its sounds exactly like our problem with the Illegal Mexicans, but they sneak in!

Im glad for US visa restrictions and all in favor of deportation, maybe a little jail sentence first would detour some of these criminals that enter Illegally or dont return when they promise.

England is being stretched almost to the point of economic collapse, joining the EU is going to be their downfall.

green pints of stout is just kinda wrong....stout has to be the colour it'[s meant to be.......which reminds me that I need to organise getting the day off work.

Green beer is served at some pubs on St.Paddys day and by the end of the night, you look around and everyones teeth are bright green...lol

And the next day any unsold beer is 1/2 price,,,alky special!!

It was worth a try but when you have the sort of people that carry knives in and are all wasted,,,,bad combo!
We were going to get this fancy security system and hire some bouncers,,Still I dont think Polish will come back to that area. My partner who owns the property has 4 other Pubs (Irish style) so we just split up the booze between the other bars.

I didnt loose out of any money and hes super rich and doesnt care, so Ill chalk it up as another learning exp!

I did get to keep a bunch of Polish Wodka:)

Hey, I called Krysia and told her people are looking for her on PF and she sounded excited, so maybe shell be here soon:)
