UK, Ireland / Fertile Polish Women in the UK [87]

Before reading those articles i never new how much Poles hate each other.

Really, so ten days ago you didn't start a thread entitled: Do Polish Immigrants hate each other?
Which also started off with a link from onet.pl?
The guy isn't even pure Polish from what Marysienka has said. Obviously he has his own insecurities and represses them by slagging off Poles on the internet. Sound familiar?

Travel / KRAKOW, Where to meet young people? (18-22 yrs) [17]

OP, go to a pub, talk to people, simple.

It really is that simple. Better in a club. Better still, go out on student night:D And if you smoke, sit in the smoking section and just count to ten and people will start talking to you!

If you want to meet the ladies, find a mixed group, chat to the guys and it won't take long before you're introduced;)

Good luck! :D:D:D

UK, Ireland / Fertile Polish Women in the UK [87]

Yes, I am familiar with Onet.pl - I remember years ago my mate made me an account on their czat section so I could practise reading and writing in Polish:D

Nobody takes comments on Onet seriously, it's place to spit on everybody.

Sounds like PF to me:D

UK, Ireland / Fertile Polish Women in the UK [87]

Seems to be one persons opinion on his neighbours sex lives. He cannot even write using Polish characters. And even I can spot the obvious errors in the translation. Hardly makes the guy an expert or a reliable source. One of your mates using google translate posting on Polish websites now, is it?

Could someone translate this for me?

Try google translate. There is a seperate section for free translations. Weren't you warned about posting links in Polish without providing a translation? You haven't even provided the source of the article...

Life / Nice one Poland - saga of Polish woe continues [12]

So well done Poland, through your lack of consideration for your children, you have now most probably excluded two Polish children from stepping on Polish soil until they are 18 and mum maybe will never be able to go back.

Of course the children don't want to go and... We don't want them to go

If you, your missus and her children don't want to live in Poland that's fine. Don't live or holiday there. Blaming a whole country for your situation is a little bit sad...

Get a lawyer on the case and get on with your lives.

News / €80 billion for Poland new EU budget [166]

My "problem" is that I just hate all those lower class cheap ESL "teachers" always between 2 cheap binge drinking and their Polish/Americans (since these 3 groups make at least 99% of PF)

I'm pretty sure they hate you too;) Especially when you make such silly statements.
The EU is about peace, partnership and free-trade. The EU will invest in countries and regions where it is needed. You may not believe in the EU and have a "so, let them eat cake" attitude, but I think most normal people would see the advantage of investment in Poland and our other friends in Europe.

UK, Ireland / Fertile Polish Women in the UK [87]

Housing Benefit is for African/Jamaican breeding machines. NOT Polish

So you're a hypocrite as well as a racist?
It has already been mentioned about the age of the Polish migrant workers.
Many of these young couples are either married or get married in the UK and start a family. Something that they are perfectly entitled to do.

If you don't like living in an EU country with all the benefits (no, not welfare) that go with that, feel free to leave.

The UK and Poland are member states of the EU. Fortunately for all of us, most politicians are a lot smarter than you are.

Life / Opinion about Polish lifestyle: do you like? Strengths and weakness [8]

i think their food is too fat and grease

That's rich com ing from an Italian!

Sometimes, it's not easy to relation with people older than 40, they don't speak English and it can be not easy to accomplish your task dealing with them.

What task can't you accomplish? Maybe it's your face or the fact you don't speak Polish:D I accomplished my task tonight:D:D:DD:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I like Poland and think that their lifestyle is not that far from the western standards.

Western standards? What you think Poland is Eastern or in some way inferior to Italy? lol get a life, Poland p1sses on Italy:D

Polish street are dangerous and tight, too.

They are dangerous at night if you are 12 years old. Come on, are you a man or not?!? I've never had a problem here, and I wouldn't be scared if I did, lol:D

So, basically you came to Poland looking for some easy girls, you tried to speak to some babcias and they didn't understand your pidgeon Polish? lol lmfao:D

Better luck next time. I'm gunna eat some fatty pizza and spaghetti, dobranoc:D

Are there many Italians that visit/live in Poland?

No. Most get as far as Slovenia, sleep with a prostitute and go home to the missus...
Yes, you're right though. In Poland noone cares what underpants you are wearing. That kind of shallowness hasn't reached our waters yet:D:D:D

News / €80 billion for Poland new EU budget [166]

European governments saved the greedy & criminal bastards called banks in 2007-2008. That is why we are in a mess.

I'm well aware of the govt's bailing out the banks. I am British after all.
But, the whole world is in debt. We as individuals need to sort our spending and borrow much less. That would have helped the situation. Don't you think?

USA, Canada / Homeless Poles in NYC [25]

In life for various reasons people can find themselves in these situations. I believe that people need a hand-up and not just a hand-out.
Unfortunately, the USA is a country that promises a lot but offers very little. It doesn't matter whether you're Polish, Mexican or 'American' the govt and society will sh*t all over you.

Being homeless in such a country cannot be much fun for anyone, especially in NYC.
Personally, I think it's a shame that people would rather bash these people than be half a human being and empathise a little...

News / €80 billion for Poland new EU budget [166]

Not only Western countries spoonfeeding Poland (and some others but Poland is the no.1 recipient) are having a deep crisis (and their populations are fed up to tighten their belts

You know, if those people in those Western countries tightened their belts, stopped borrowing money they couldn't afford to pay back, and their govts stopped borrowing money they wouldn't be in the mess that they are in now. It's called living within your means, something a lot of people still do not understand:

The "daj mi" needs to stop

It only it had stopped in the 'West'...

I happen to live in Poland and work with Poles and I can assure you that 90% think this way.

You need to mix with a better crowd...

Life / How a Pole can contribute to the homeland? [27]

The difference for instance between France and Poland

Who gives a flying f... about France? Due to their President's dithering it won't be long before they go cap in hand to the IMF begging for a bailout.

The OP was asking for suggestions of how a Pole could contribute to their homeland...

Life / How a Pole can contribute to the homeland? [27]

I quite agree. So many people here are working two jobs or going to university (and still working) you would think that their sleeves cannot be pulled up much more.

Poland does not set the EU's spending budget, they can only apply like anyone else. French farmers have been milking the system for years.

They have at least fought off recession, a feat which most other EU countries (who somehow believe themselves superior) failed to do.

Love / How do I tell her how I feel? Working with a Polish woman. [24]

Well, it must have been God's intervention because today I got to work next to her again

It was God's intervention several months ago, allowing you two the chance to meet! (But you blew it!) Still, I hope it all works out for you:)

If it doesn't, don't worry, you'll meet someone else.
But, seriously. I was like you and didn't even talk to a beautiful Polish girl at work for 2 months because I thought she must have had a Polish bf. But really I was just shy. Anyway, the first works do I was invited to I went. And there she was! I sat awkwardly opposite her for about 2 minutes whilst other guys tried it on with the worst small talk and lines I've ever heard.... lol:D

Fortunately, I switched the conversation to Polish and moved straight in there. Blew the competition straight out. And the rest as they say is history. We had 3 wonderful years together:D

I'm now living in Poland and loving it! Do you think that I would even hesitate for 6 seconds (let alone 6 months) to talk to someone I fancied? Nope. You need some self-confidence, and maybe some game.

Anyways, gimme a PM if you wanna chat.

UK, Ireland / Domestic arguments caused by differences between Polish and English culture [109]

I don't think that many Poles would put up with the British 'binge drinkers'. It's certainly not an attractrive habit in women or men.

Alcoholism and domestic violence occurs in many countries. Britain is no exception. It's certainly not a cultural difference between our two nations (Poland & the UK).

I'm actually quite suprised how many Poles don't drink...

UK, Ireland / Do Polish Immigrants in Great Britain hate each other? [60]

So basically we're back to 'no'. Polish immigrants do not hate each other.
However, we've proved that there are a few silly xenophobic Brits who obviously do. Those ignorant racists make the rest of us Brits look bad. It's really rather pathetic.

Love / How do I tell her how I feel? Working with a Polish woman. [24]

I mean how do you know if a Polish girl likes you and is it worth telling her how I feel even though she is leaving, and if so how do Polish girls like to be approached?

Polish girls are just like any other girl. Nationality is not important when it comes to dating. However,:

From the first time I saw her, I just thought she was perfect and I couldn't stop staring at her. Eventually she noticed me looking at her and we started having lots of eye contact, sometimes too much. This went on for months

You fancied this girl from the word go. Other than 'stare' at her you never made a move. And this went on for months? Was she single this whole time? Unfortunately, now she is leaving...

Sorry to say it but you left it too late. Next time you see a girl you like (Polish or otherwise) just count to three then make your approach. Never stare though lol:)

Good luck! Hope it works out for you. If not, there's plenty more fish in the sea:D

UK, Ireland / Do the poles like British culture [127]

I strongly believe that anyone who thinks so hard and who spends so much effort on gays is a crypto-gay himself. Are you (Kondzior)?[/quote]
Even HH admits (in his own words):
[quote=hudsonhicks]I don't mind gay people. My friend is gay..

Kondzior, I'm not pro-gay but I accept that is a choice people make in life.
However, not doing your job and driving a bus (lol), because of an advert is pretty pathetic.
A Christian? Whatever happened to 'love thy neighbour'? Whatever happened to 'turn the other cheek'?
This man isn't a Christian or a patriot - he's homophobic and most probably he's a closet gay. And he'll lose his job because of it. What an idiot!

Life / Why is Prostitution still legal in Poland? [106]

Why is Prostitution still legal in Poland?
Who cares. Legal or not is still going to happen in every country in the world. Get over it!

Some of the more strict Muslim countries have laws against prostitution, so the US 'sounds like a Muslim extremist', although its a fundamental extremist Christian country - which is worse.

True. Why do Americans feel the need to interfere with other countries so much? Surely they need to get their own house in order first.

What's with the 2nd amendment? It's not the 18th century anymore... how many 'Columbine's' occur in Poland? Gun crime is totally out of control and has been for a very long time.

As for the 8th amendment it's a complete joke when you consider the death penalty is used in many states...
The real question should be 'When will America join other civilised countries in the 21st century?'

Stay on topic, please.

UK, Ireland / British + Polish relationship experiences [16]

It's rude to be patronising and assume people can't make their own minds up!

If that were true in your case you wouldn't be asking complete strangers for relationship advice.
First you need to think of your boyfriend as your 'boyfriend' and not as your 'Polish boyfriend'.
If in a few years time you find yourself ready for marriage then you will need to be asking yourself those questions that Richfilth posted.

Personally, I don't see how your relationship and your friend's relationship are linked unless, of course, my initial instinct was right... you and Kelly do 'everything together' right?

My relationship lasted three years, we had many good times together, nationality was never an issue. I hope your relationship (and Kelly's) works out for you:D

UK, Ireland / Are Poles in the UK more prone to Thievery? [37]

I think he's Welsh. He struggles with English. Speaking of which, don't they have similar signs in Wales written in both English and Welsh?

Surely by his own logic that makes Welsh people more prone to thievery... no shock there...

Or just rejected. Probably by more than one girl... maybe something to do with all the Lech he's been drinking:D:D:D
Wisbech is a tiny little town of 20,200 people in Cambridgeshire. If one Pole and one Lithuanian were arrested for shoplifting it would probably made the Wisbech Standard headlines for the next month.

If someone farted in that town it would probably make a headline...
Let's see their crime figures then...

UK, Ireland / Do Polish Immigrants in Great Britain hate each other? [60]

hudsonhicks: i'm not sure where he lives

Maybe Poland?

Can't be Poland, he wrote: 'Polish enrichment of our countryside'

And also:

Obviously in my area there are not too many homeless.

Same in mine, maybe half a dozen that I've seen. A tiny percentage. I shouldn't have you the word 'all' really.

Well, he obviously doesn't live in Poland. Here the streets are kept clear of cans by all the homeless people. I'm sure some people know what I mean:D

Seriously, I bet it is your beautiful Welsh garden, you little prankster you:D

News / More Poles speak English than French or Spanish! [34]

I find it hilarious that Poland ranks higher than India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and yet we seem to get a lot of posts in broken English from people claiming to be from these countries offering to teach English to Poles. Some even have had the audacity to claim to be a 'native-speaker'! It's even more hilarious to me as most English teachers on this forum would agree that many of their students speak better English in a lot of cases:D

UK, Ireland / Do Polish Immigrants in Great Britain hate each other? [60]

Thread title: "Do Polish Immigrants hate each other?"

Well, I think the short answer is 'no'. Furthermore, the only one here that seems to hate Polish immigrants is YOU!

Amongst the usual mocking of the UK.. calling us fat, ugly and lazy blabla AND the blatant racist rantings about everything "negro this" "negro that" etc etc

Well, a lot of people are fat, lazy and ugly in comparison. But as for 'blatant racist rantings' you seem to be doing a lot of that yourself.

Get some professional psychological help before it's too late.
