Madparasol are you a yank or a Pole living in the US?

It is annoying when non native English speakers try to use rare colloquialisms to sound clever. Usually they end up just muddying their point and looking foolish. But you would be used to looking foolish.

If someone can't wait 3 years to drink (18-21) they don't need to be drinking because they don't have the maturity (patience) for it. Getting wasted is not a right nor a necessity. If people were reasonable we wouldn't have to worry about it but people are not able to control themselves.

MOST kids that age are not out on their own by then....a change in policy has to consider MOST kids.

You are selecting a few cases that do not speak for the greater population of teenagers.

Go get a call center job in Mumbai...you can call yourself "Tom" and frustrate Americans who call in to get their computer serviced. Doesn't that sound like more fun than dreary old UK?

News / Should 16-year-olds in Poland vote? [58]

I believe so yes. I believe we would be better served by increase the legal age of everything from driving to voting.

News / Should 16-year-olds in Poland vote? [58]

Yeah some people "age" quicker than others. But that doesn't mean the average 16yo is wise enough to make such decisions.

Most people really don't "get it" until they are out on their own and responsible for all facets of life. That means 25 or older for many people.

I am not willing to put my future in the hands of teenagers. It is bad enough with the adults running things and they have the benefit of experience. It would be worse with the Disney crowd at the helm.

Life / Do you think a smoking ban would be a good thing in Polish restaurants and Bars? [217]

You do mean cig fags not fairy fags right? I am not sure if I should agree yet or not?

News / Should 16-year-olds in Poland vote? [58]

Fine make the voting age 35. I am fine with that. Maybe things would be better if naive, inexperienced people were not affecting the tides.

A 16yo should not have as much say in where politics go as a 35yo...no more than the new recruit would be commanding the army or running an airline. You need experience at the bottom before you can be at the top. Exuberance and ambition are not a substitute for wisdom...and wisdom only comes with age.

The hatred is because the MAJORITY of people from certain nations marry people from more developed nations for the "upgrade" in life style not because they have any intention of becoming a part of that society.

People get sick of it.

UK, Ireland / Marrying Polish Woman in UK/London [100]

Yes I think she has a point. And I am far more offended by apologists like yourself (matowy) than her.

News / Should 16-year-olds in Poland vote? [58]

I really, REALLY hate people who try to put words in someone's mouth.

You either know exactly what I mean and don't agree (and rather than just saying that are trying to be clever sounding) or you are a moron.

I will not play semantics games with you.

People without life experience, and who haven't finished developing, should not vote. Simple.

People who are old enough to know right and wrong should be held accountable for it. Simple.

Nika

And he asked about marriage benefits which make it obvious he is thinking about his future status. A work visa is temporary.

UK, Ireland / Marrying Polish Woman in UK/London [100]


Actually they do...the non EU person would gain residency rights allowing him to live with his EU wife in the UK. He is required to register and be legal there.

And Matowy....You do know you can't just say "irrelevant" and make it so right?

I happen to think most of the "OMG that's racist" whining is not "relevant" to anything but the self righteous naivete of the poster.

Guess what...people are different...races and sexes and classes are different. You can moan about it all you want but there are and always will be differences and many are not good to others in other categories. Deal with it...or keep moaning and protesting.

UK, Ireland / Marrying Polish Woman in UK/London [100]


Oh why didn't I think of that? The UK should just let them stay because it's "easier" for them.

Hey it would be 'easier' for me to live in a villa on the Mediterranean. Someone should start an advocacy group and protest for me so I can have what I want. Right?

UK, Ireland / Marrying Polish Woman in UK/London [100]

I lived in Poland for over 10 years and one of the common social discussions I heard was about Polish girls marrying people from the middle east and then after going there realizing it wasn't a fairy tale. Then they had the battle of getting their kids back.

This isn't happening with Finns or Ecuadorians or any other number of nations...but it is COMMON with middle eastern nations. So tell me I am a bigot for acknowledging the realities of the world and I will tell you that you are naive.

Notice I didn't say ALL middle eastern people suck...I said it is a TREND that is common there. Some people seem to be unable to admit the world is not rainbows and puppy dogs. That is not the fault of those who comment on it but rather the fault of those doing the bad things. Take your self righteous judgments and shove them up your arse.

It is that simple. It is much easier to teach someone basic right and wrong then it is to have them understand global issues.

A child KNOWS it is not right to steal etc...but they cannot understand the greater impact of a "vote"..they do not have the capacity. Neither do 15yos

You say that until you truly experience some of the problems. It is so easy to "say" you are unprejudiced but EVERYONE is in regard to something.

You are not "better" than people who have reservations with certain cultures. In fact if YOU were to go live in those places you would find that just as many people would be prejudiced against YOU.

It reminds me of this lady who was one of those loud mouthed anti war protester hippie chicks that got kidnapped in Afghanistan while "volunteering". Quite often life is not as clean as self righteous people like yourself would like it to be.

UK, Ireland / Marrying Polish Woman in UK/London [100]

Well I agree with her...she is just a little harsh for what is considered PC today but her points are valid.

I would say the people being PC are the one's hiding behind something. She is just saying what is considered 'unacceptable' by such people.

Think how much easier life would be if people were honest instead of saying one thing in public and then another in private?

Someone else mentioned if the OP was legitimate why don't they live in one of the countries they are from? He is clearly benefiting from the marriage as it will give him residence rights he can't get otherwise so easily or at all.

I am amused at people who weren't even alive in WWII hating other people who weren't alive in WWII because they are from the "enemy" side. Morons.

Nope...you can't be more than 16. If you are you are developmentally delayed.

No Hitman you didn't. You are an immature kid who is living in the family flat in Warsaw most likely. Isn't it time for grandma to use the computer now? You had your turn.

Why? Because she doesn't like immigrants abusing their welcome? I bet a lot more people than you realize feel the same way. Immigrants that come and blend in are welcome...heck my home country is MADE of immigrants....immigrants who come to take and establish their own little nations within a nation as the mulsims by in large have done in the UK do not earn the respect of the natives. It might not be PC but it is legitimate.

People from third world countries have no interest usually in "becoming British"...they want all the benefits but to also impose THEIR culture on their host's. When you are a guest in someone else's home do you demand they change to accommodate you? If so I am glad you never visit my house.

Life / Do you think a smoking ban would be a good thing in Polish restaurants and Bars? [217]

Without smoking how would all those Polish girls remain slim in their 20's and 30's? They would have to resort to bulemia or something unhealthy.

Wow I missed out having never lived in UKR or RUS. They are a cut above in the looks department. But I bet equally as unreasonable and entitled.

UK, Ireland / Marrying Polish Woman in UK/London [100]

Well if he lives in Poland he better get used to having neighbors who don't like him because he is a brown foreigner. Protest all you want but Poland is white and likes it that way.

Genealogy / If your ancestors were in the "Wehrmacht"... [217]

None of us no anything about what went on then and it is arrogant to judge any of them based on heresay Only the people who were there do. I bet HITMAN would have sold out his neighbor in a second to save his family. People who have not lived through war have no business commenting.
