News / 2011 Netherlands discuss Polish deportation plan [118]

True enough, PennBoy, but some locals don't need to like it. I'd love to see the reaction were many Polish MP's to flood our parliament and steal the jobs of politicians. Stuff them not knowing English, it'd be a laugh.

Deport British politicians and let them see how the person on the street feels.

Stu has a point. Many agencies are not legit and put Poles in ahead of locals. That's giving them an instant advantage and isn't fair. Deportation isn't the answer but warning shots are.

If true then it is disappointing and even surprising as I wouldn't expect that of the Dutch. Then again, it just takes on idiot to make a decision that doesn't broadly reflect the views of the majority. Many of the Poles I've spoken to have said good things about the Dutch and, again, it would appear that a governmental moron as soured the milk for many.

PM has a point in that you cannot single out a group in such a way. That's the essence of discrimination. You cannot punish a whole group for the folly of a few individuals.

PM makes some fair points though he overgeneralises. However, he'd do well to realise that a fair few Poles are becoming ever more greedy and this is not due to the Western influence as conservative cities without Western influences bear witness to this.

As for deportation, well, I'm surprised the Mods haven't said more. A bit more focussing on off-topic posts other than my own wouldn't go amiss. Much of this thread has nothing to do with deportation.

If it is true then the Dutch are just looking for scapegoats. It's easy to have a convenient excuse at the ready.

You think there is favouritism like that, PM? England has always had many more coloured folk than Poles. How can you be sure that coloured folk in the Netherlands are causing the problems?

By losing their job doesn't mean they can instantly be deported. They can still get another crack of the whip. There are other ways of resolving the public nuisance issue. You don't see most countries deporting people for breach of the peace.

Love / Hot Polish girls in clubs - why don't they dance/talk with the most attractive men only? [148]

I would say that many girls go with those that will let them be themselves and open up. Jarnowa, I guess you are merely witnessing a reality here whereby beautiful women accept that the men are just not quite up to scratch as far as comparisons go. However, social roles being social roles, many feel that they need a man and a partner so you go with what's on offer.

Besides, some of the lookers here (men) are complete bozos who probably haven't passed their Matura. Why labour through life with such airheads?

Life / The REAL Warsaw :-) Video clip. [43]

I was just wheeling out a stereotype, warsz. Regional identity is a big thing here. Varsovians are goroly and will never truly be hanysy here.

Genealogy / Do you think all Slavs are white? [178]

True, I'd say more have darker hair if anything.

Women, I'd say. I haven't done the proof checks and I don't think I'll get that privilege ;)

That's more of a Nordic description :) Many Poles have dark hair. Whilst it is true to say that many are blonde, many dye their hair that way.

Oh, Varsovians have a horrible reputation here. Fast gum-chewing pieces of turd that are worth crapping on. Silesians tend to dislike them and their slick prat ways.

Life / Expats, are you happy with your life in Poland? [43]

Exactly :) I got to translate in a semi-official capacity the other day and I was happy with that too. I had to mediate a dispute and I was a little worried as each party already knew English and Polish to a half-decent level so I needed to make sure that I commanded their respect with simultaneous translation. It worked well. I'm glad that I got the opportunity to do that. I'd love to be able to do the same in Russian but my experiences are what my experiences are. I've helped out in Japanese before and that was nice.

Life / Expats, are you happy with your life in Poland? [43]

Oh, I've been a sex-pat in Krabi for a night, not the smartest move in my life :) :)

I had a great class tonight. There is a real sense of brotherhood and togetherness with many Poles. Given that I spend a lot of time teaching in one form or another, I have to say that I'm happy when I can get a class going and them learning.

UK, Ireland / Living in Edinburgh and looking for work [5]

It's really hard for the locals too. Don't waste time with CVs. Target a company that fits his skills and go to them directly. Sometimes it's the only way.

Those who can gain more of a sense of inclusion tend to be happier but it all depends on the type of person. Life is fine but I could be doing with more zip. Red wine KO's me for too long :(
