News / Poland's economic future? [294]

You can check out all the un violations israel ha

Jeez Dirk - we all know this. Some of us read the papers:) That's why I stated that I would never dream of visting such a place.

Israelis do not equate to Jews though. They are two different concepts. It is the Israeli government that is the problem, and the fact that France was criminally allowed to build their nuclear programme. It's a dangerous world, and The Domesday clock is ticking. It's a pity that we can't decommission their nuclear, because then they would soon swallow their pride.

Poles migrated to other places like America and other EU countries legally.

In 1939? Really? I thought they were refugees......

"Anglo-Saxon eyes" are willfully blind to and therefore blissfully ignorant of.

But you live in a predominantly Anglo-Saxon country Bieganski. If you love Poland so much, why don't you come here and get a job, and pay towards GDP like I and millions of others do with our taxes. You do love "your country" right?

where's your equally leveled criticism of Zionism?

I don't live in Israel, would never, ever visit, but then again, I don't know anything of Israelis, just the aggressive way in which their present and past nationalist government speaks. Like Poland's mob, actually.

There's nothing wrong with saying poland for poles.

Really? So what are Poles doing all around the globe? Where would Poles have been in 1939 if Syria had told them to do one, or Britain had for that matter. You really have no idea how childish and ill-educated that slogan is, have you?

Anyone can come and visit Poland. As I said before, if all the Berlin muslims decided to take a day trip to Sczeczin, there is nothing the Poles could do to stop them:))

So don't think that the Polish authorities are really so high and mighty dear chap.

@Dirk diggler
No Dirk - not when Poland can't even manage its' health service to any degree to a satisfactory European level and can't provide for its' aged population and the poorer in society. And the infrastructure here in Tri-City is rubbish. So all your points here about some mythical utopia called Poland are palpably untrue. And you wouldn't know anyway - because for the thousandth time - you don't live here:))

are you chronically critical of Poles and Poland

it sounds pretty drastic

No! Poles are lovely people and you will get a warm welcome

Yeah. Only critical of the nationalist government and low life youths shouting "Polska dla Polakow" or something equally inane. Are you happy about everything in your country - America wasn't it?

my claim that indeed migranta are reponsible for the increase in crime

Yes, we've already agreed here that the Eastern European influx into Britain resulted in an increase in crime. That is to be expected. Surely you didn't expect the crime rate to actually go down in both cases where there was a rapid swelling in alien populations?

Law / Polish certificate exam level B1 and institution / few questions about the Polish language [39]

my suggestion was really for private language schools to provide the lessons to enable the student to take the state exam

No, no, and again no Braveheart. Call it my natural cynicism, but, rather like the wholly subjective Polish driving test, which is designed to be taken at least three times before quotas allow people to actually pass it, there is little chance that the government would pass on earning their wedge. If any foreigner has the temerity to apply for residence, then the state is jolly well going to dip it's snout into the trough. All those state teachers can also be put to work on the criminally low salaries that they seem to be resigned to.

Quite baffling.

Actually, you're completely wrong.

Fair enough Delph. You mean my theory of government desperate to fleece people doesn't hold water?:))

Are you sure you want me to show them once again?

You don't remember the original mention of index cards then? They're not my invention. never mind - that's all water under the bridge, unless someone wants to bring it up again. In the meantime Poland's economic future is no longer in the balance seeing as Britain is going to be offering only rolling contracts to Poles, if Brexit actually happens.

No! Poles are lovely people and you will get a warm welcome. Don't expect much smiling until you are introduced and taken into the circle (which happens spontaneously) People will be very interested that you are Greek, especially when they have visited there themselves.

No, you won't have any problem.

He will if he is very dark skinned, moves away from tourist areas, and is not prepared to put up with such nonsense. But Dominic is right - just stay away from drunks, especially the British groups of drinkers:)

Have a great time in Krakow. You will have trouble finding anyone Polish though in the centre.

the first Europeans were from Asia

Well, it's a bloody good thing that the English channel swamped the land bridge to the continent all those thousands of years ago - otherwise the UK would be full of Eastern European immigrants right now, bleating about "Polska dla Polakow - ale nie dla mnie!" Oh, wait a minute - we are! :)

the Hungarians, Austrians, East Germans, etc are taking a page out of the Polish nationalists' handbook

What a list of happy hunters. I'll keep to normal, open minded port town 3 City thanks!

Poles aren't animals

Yes they are. We all are:) And a great many attacks and rapes will go unreported in Poland. So, that's a false science, comparing two cultures with different reporting standards or reluctance to come forward.

Its no different in france - most of thr crime occurs in no gos/sezs which is overwhelmingly non european.

No **** Sherlock. Seeing as Africans are housed in areas of high density, and if you put peoples close together, you will get high crimes.
Google Katowice Zaleze if you have difficulty grasping the concept. Oh, and those are white people.
What racist nonsense, perpetuated by racist politicians, that racists vote for. If it wasn't so sad it would be hilarious how these statistics are interpreted.

It's like, let's find a newspaper where my horoscope (Cancer) is favourable. Oh yeah, there it is! In only the fifth newspaper I looked at. Romance is in the air, and a windfall is just around the corner! So Astrology must be a valid guide to my life after all!

Search hard enough, and you will find it. The "It" I refer to is a pile of steaming ****.

"Hate speech" is not a legitimate term in any legal lexicon. It is a fake, made up word

Doesn't work for Poles though does it, when the rest of the world is forced to point out that the historical facts are that a specific proportion of Poles murdered or directly contributed to the deaths of their Jewish neighbours? We are not talking about refusing to aid Jews, because what would we have done? You talk in that post of free speech, when the government here are trying their best to minimise the same.

A good example that you do not know what is going on here.

No one who arrives by boat will EVER be resettled within Europe

Again, I refer you to the Geneva Convention, which is sacrosanct. It's called a humanitarian Act, the meaning of which fails some people, even as they get down on their knees before their God.

The gist is this: Once a person, fleeing from war, lands on a continent, he cannot be returned against his will to that War-zone.
Is that simple enough?

So do we want to rehash the statistics about the violent crime in Europe and who's committing it

Violent crime is one thing and terrorism is another. In this technological age, acts of terrorism will happen, and increased tech helps to prevent this. Even at the height of "the Troubles" Londoners didn't go around shaking in fear; I was an 80s resident, and we lived as normal amidst scenes of terrible carnage. The same goes for you in America with your terrorist acts. Should we, the British, ban Americans from entering the UK?

Please explain why a wave of refugees and migrants would necessarily harbour more would be terrorists amongst them than a group of Americans with an axe to grind (no pun intended) What type of studies could prove that theory?

I suppose you could ask them to complete a survey on the lines of: "Good morning, could you help us with our research for a moment if you have the time? Are you planning to use that bottle of water and that Red Cross sandwich to blow up a few non-believers today? No, just tick Yes, or No, in the box provided. That's great....... Thank you so much. Sorry for the ignorant inherently stereotyped questions, but we had to ask, because we have a mad paranoid government, and we have been brainwashed"

If we had a proper relocation system that would distribute the refugees...........build large camps in which refugees are nvestigated first.

This. And Poland infamously refused to make any contributions to the setting up of such camps. Leaving the Italians holding the bath water.

Doug's everyday life is directly affected by events in Poland while yours and Dirk's are not.

Bless:) No, really, I am very happy that Dirk and Sig love their country of heritage - that's absolutely as it should be. It does rankle just a bit though that they seem to know what is good for the people here, and that all is fine and dandy in Poland, because they read it in a Neo-Con newspaper, and grandad Henryk from Kielce is so happy that his 5 grandchildren have new train sets, provided by that lovely benovelent government that loves its' people so much.

his "hatred,"

A lot of Dirk's speech is "hate speech" though, or would be, through Anglo-Saxon eyes. I forgot that he was Slav. That too is a racist insinuation,; do you like it?

NONE of the people other than Syrians have a legitimate claim to asylum

But that is not so Sig. Anyone fleeing a war zone is entitled to claim for asylum, which of course doesn't pertain to guaranteed qualification for same, as circumstances in geopolitik change. Those countries at the time of mass exodus included parts of Sudan, Libya, Ethopia, Afghanistan, etc ..... Like it or not, but have a look at the 1951 Geneva Convention, which of course some would like to rescind if they could.

That was brought in to help peoples in future like the Poles in 1939, but some people have a memory fail.
In the meantime, even though this a period of growth, PIS have no real policies for the economy, and all they can do is invent intruigue to keep their brain-washed voters happy. Rather like in America in fact:)) Strange times, and very interesting for history.

personal insults against Dirk

I dropped the personal insults a long time again now after my spats with Johnny. Wot are you on about? There is no complex subject - Poland's growth is down to the heavy investment from the EU, and I for one am absolutely delighted with it.

When we are talking facts and coherent argument, the facts are that without the European Union, I, and not Dirk of course, would still be travelling around on tinpot roads, still be eating Polish "TV" dinners of half frozen pierogi, and would still be teaching English in a coal mine.

We're doing fantastic

I thought you didn't like the European Union and multinationals? Because it is they who are responsible for anything "fantastic", meanwhile, where i live, highly qualified people are still offered career jobs starting at a miserable 3,500 zl, the roads and pavements haven't been touched since 1924, and my neighbours with their fancy cars are still burning coal.

It is true that PIS have finally fixed the weather - it's blue and beautiful:)
And Dirk - it's not "We". You are not Polish, but Pol-am. There is a big difference between the two. Our problems are not your problems. that's what I am saying - you are patronising us by pretending otherwise.

how decent money English teachers make LOL

Most do. Sidelines - in my case, shipping documentation and some corporate acting. Sorry to disappoint. and please do ask Ziemowit for his index cards - I did offer you a Skype chat to test my Polish. It seems to hurts the NeoCons and emigrants like Iron that some of us with some community spirit actually live here and contribute to GDP, and it's lucky that we do, or we couldn't afford to police your racist Independence Day "marches."

One could be born in Poland, leave the country and never set foot in PL again,

But we're not talking about that. We're talking about the Pol Am Neo-Cons affecting policy, who have never even set foot in Poland, who think they know the European situation, and what constitutes Poland's membership of the Union, and who spread their race based filth on this board. And you're not excused either, with your hatred of this and that. Do your parents know of the tosh that you spout here?

learn Polish (which you should've already done after living in the country for decades) and get your citizenship

I do speak Polish to a rough intermediate level Dirk and could pass that test thanks. When I moved here, the interior ministry insisted that I would have to give up my British citizenship if I wanted Polish. Now I am too old to care. Like you are Polish by birth, I am British and not Polish, so your citizenship can do one - especially when it's all a bad joke because Pol-Ams like you and Sig colour the actual results, and in fact you don't know what goes on - because you ain't here.

Fairness has nothing to do with it. I would have too much pride to vote in an election that doesn't affect me personally.

The total number of Poles living in US that use to vote in Polish elections is like 20k people

Source? Why do I not believe that?

I vote by absentee ballot over here

So when did you live in Poland then Sig, if I may ask? Dirk never has, but at least he holds a financial stake here. Pol-Ams who have never ever set foot in Poland really shouldn't have the vote -it's just a way of getting bleeding hearts to prop up the economy with their donations.

citizenship is real

Not really. I have no say in the politics of my own country. When I return there, I will apply to be put back on the electoral register. Whilst here, I am bothered about Polish laws and politics as they effect me. The politics of your day to day life, if you have any sense, pertain to the country in which you are domiciled. Just an opinion.

If somebody loves Poland so much, they should return. In the meantime, they have no moral right to tell the rest of us how we should live.

Poles coming into a EU country with some illegal immigrants from all over world

There's your problem right there. Thinking that you are in some way "better" than others. I experienced this first hand when a Polish friend thought British Asians were "dirty." Result of racism and ridiculous attitude such as that? No longer a trusted friend.

the basic of the Polish lingo

I did suggest to Wulkan that we have voice mail - the same challenge goes out to you - with Ziemowit as judge of my ability to communicate in Polish. Shall we say 500 zl to the charity of the winners' choice?

I have no idea what gimp means, but less of the insults or I will flag you up.

Polska Dla Polakow

So why don't Britons say "Britain for the British" and "Let's keep those scummy Poles out"? Same thing..... But we don't tolerate such filth.

The above phrase suggests no foreign investment, just pure bred nationalism, and Poland has always had no problem with taking, but when it gets to giving, she's useless. The phrase is for inbreds Dirk - shirley you can see that?:)

Not necessarily a bad thing. Their milk masquerading as coffee is gash.
