News / What is wrong with Poland that Poles emigrate? [167]

So they are doing exactly what we do to every other country.

Cant get on the dole then get of your arse and get a job. You cant spend your life watching GMTV every day.

This sounds like a typical English guy. He loses his job and instead of getting on with life and looking for something new and better he sits around on the internet blaming other people.

Sorry mate but why dont you see this as an opportunity to get a better job and improve your life.

How is that a racist comment? I still dont understand why you arent out now trying to get a job. If things are so bad and you are facing eviction. Business is business your company can get someone to work for less money. They did it.

Genealogy / How hard is it to get a Polish passport? [74]

You know I saw the saddest thing when I went to get my passport renewed in Warsaw yesterday.
In the consular office there was a married couple and for the whole of the 20 minutes I was there they didnt say one word to another. I couldnt believe it, I lived with my ex-girlfriend and also worked with her. We even took our lunch breaks together and went out together. Even though we did all of this we always had something to talk about. It made me think of what you said Michal about doing your shopping in silence.

I think thats really sad.

for himself but who am I to tell somebody what I can see?

Well to be honest you do it a lot on the forum to people who you dont care about, so why not do it to your colleague who could really have benefited from your advice?
