Love / Love without chemistry? (Asian in love with a Polish woman) [195]

i think what we gotta remember is that gg seems to come from a culture of arranged marriages where you dont exactly get to choose who you marry and you grow to like the person chosen. having spoken to a couple of indian ladies about this they told me there was a fair amount of guilt and honour (the parents of course) involved in making it work.

he is now incorrectly trying to apply this theory of people growing to like each other to women outside of his culture.

History / Casimir the Great (Kazimierz Wielki) started anti-Semitism? [101]

a tenet of islam is they believe that judaism and christianity have strayed from the true word of god, and that god revealed to the prophet his true word.

that is why they refer to people that convert from judaism/christianity to islam as "reverts".

We advise you to exercise caution when travelling in Fiji due to the unresolved political situation and deterioration in the rule of law following the December 2006 military coup.

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]


i didnt take sides and dont condone racist behaviour.

i merely asked you why is that other ethnic groups that are dark skinned/haired dont have the same anti-social behaviour when migrating to other countries.

your issues stem from traveling to the backwaters of poland, to be honest if you went to some rural lil town in australia you would probably experience the same thing. if i traveled to some rural indian town then i would no doubt experience the same thing.

it is a forum, where discussion and debate happens, yet you seem to want to throw labels at people. it is a lot easier for you to throw the "racist" card at another poster as "i win and end of discussion" than talk about why.

i apologise for my generalisation about iranian women. i hope that you too can apologise for your generalisations of "white people".

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]


ummm, please do tell me where i have justified racist behaviour.


you brought up the race issue, i merely made a comment on it.

and i have made no vilifying or disparaging remarks regarding iran or the middle east, feel free to prove otherwise.

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]


i think you are generalising the experience of these migrants based on your preconceived ideas about what racism/bigotry should be.

have you seen many spanish, italians or greeks? olive skin and dark hair.

and chinese, they would experience a lot of racism, but they always seem to thrive where they settle.

im not saying it is okay and racism/bigotry is good but it is interesting to see how different culutres and ethnic groups handle such adversity.


what, coz i dont have dark hair or dark skin im not allowed to experience bigotry or comment on it. your view is as narrow minded as those you're condemning.

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]


that is just an excuse.

many different europeans (poles, italians, germans, ukranians, etc) all migrated to australia after ww2. they were often met with racism and called names like ****.

you know what they did, ignored it and worked hard and built a life for themselves.

Australia / Looking for Polish immigration lawyer in Sydney [16]

i daresay we wont hear from uri again...polish forums is littered with one and done posts.

as australians we can get visa's to work in most european countries for a year so not sure if that is the op's main reason.

Australia / Looking for Polish immigration lawyer in Sydney [16]

polaron i think.

they do charge an arm and leg, but they do all the work for you.

and matowy, im contemplating initiating the same procedure, not for eu benefits but so that if i ever decide to travel to europe i can travel easier. and so my future children (god help the world) can also freely travel to europe and work if they so wish.

Australia / Poles in Australia - money for start, chances for a job, costs of living (Brisbane, Bunbury) [50]


nah, the government has cracked down on college's that were exploiting the "loophole".

the students never intended to work as hairdressers/chefs, they just wanted the permanent residency.

Australia / Poles in Australia - money for start, chances for a job, costs of living (Brisbane, Bunbury) [50]


australia has a stern immigration policy on illegal entries yes.

but on the otherside we have been handing out permanent residency like swap cards to students (mainly indian) that come here to study in areas that are needed like hairdressers and chefs.

i think what flogtime25 was referring to was more the colonial treatment of aborigines and subsequent treatment over the years.

apart from that, i dont see australia as any more/less racist than any ther country i have been to.
