WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER?

Lol.. well why do you think that is? I think that an exaggeration too.. that is probably Romania.

Besides they used to say that about Ireland but not too much anymore.

Thats your right...Do you know how many people in the UK have been killed / lost their homes due to floods in recent years? Was it reported on Polish news, do I give a phuck if it wasnt, damn right I dont!


No, you are basking in self-pitty at the moment with this thread...


Because of course that gains respect? ;0)


Nope! More like Pakis <jk>


Yep!

So what? Krauts say that about everybody.. they are clean freaks mostly, scrubbing out garbage cans all the time. Weird bullsh.t like that.

It just goes to show what having a strong work ethic and willingness to work hard for very little money gets you. It's better to be a slacker who demands a huge salary. That way you don't get used.

.. Either that or the EU funneling a shi.t load or money into your economy.

This is an odd ethic to have.

Every place on earth known for hard workers who do not get paid much has this same problem. They get used. So, what good does it do being this way? It's like the guy at work who does everything perfectly. He gets even more work and pretty soon he is doing all the work in the office while everyone sits there socializing.

Jeezzus Christ, stereotype? Yep they can undercut and do it cheaper..Not always the best! Ask anyone about driveways in the UK...


You mean a professional who will give you exactly what you ask for?

Consumer society gone mad..false economy..pay $50 for a pair of shoes they last a couple of months pay $150 and they last a couple of years! Same if pay £3,000 for a kitchen and it last (looking nice) for about a six months before the door handles start to fall off and the door hinges buckle..pay £10,000 and it looks lovely after 4 years...Trust me Ive seen cheap and Ive seen quality..


They work hard because they have no alternative...You think the first settlers in America sat behind desks shouting "sell sell sell" before going home in their Merc. to a 6 bed detched with their 2.4 kids and lovely wife? What do you think we should do about it? All hold hands and sing a nice song and hope that all these hard working people come to our country and work for less than we do so they can take away what we worked hard for?

Well, ya, it would be nice if everyone took an across the board cut in paycheck. The recession would go away, then.

It seems you missed the point. Although I'm unable to prove it here and now, every Pole I spoke to in UK in 1997 all agreed it very much seemed the Western mass media was ignoring Poland when international aid was sorely needed. And they only heard the news via the Church! Nowhere else.

If you thing I'm basking in self-pity, that's your right too.
PS: 'pity' is spelt with one T and 'phuck' with an F ;-D

Try not to be so cynical. :( I like it better when you're positive. :)

It's time to do some serious, philosophical considering of why things are the way they are.

Well, Im sorry if people felt like that about it..But didnt these people have voices? We have local radio stations and regional TV stations, plus we have had large communities of Polish people in the UK for decades..Had they felt so strongly they could have made a noise about it and made people see what was happening....So, whilst you can blame the UK, you can blame them too - if you know anything about the British people, you will know we are very giving people and would have helped in what way we could - had we know!

By the way its huracan season, do Poles know how many people are going to die in those parts of the world and how many people are going to be left homeless and even more poverty stricken than they already are? Do they care? Or are they more concerned about their own day to day lives?


I dont know why but I always go for the double t in pity its a mental block! the ph as you know is done purposely ;0)


Food chain, whilst you want your cheap handbag, there will always be some 6 year old Indian kid sewing the lining into it!

Everybody gets all boo-hoo about poor third world workers but the truth is many of them are indeed glad to have the work -any work. It lets them eat where otherwise they would not. Sure their working conditions suck but we judge them compared to our modern day conditions. That's hardly realistic. They're third worlders for a reason. And who wants to pay $200 for the $15 pocket book? We may as well make it here if we're gonna start overpaying peeps. They're called 'slave labor' for a reason!

At a price - I dont buy from places like Primark in the UK for this reason.


Letting a child go to school and be educated will enable him to go on and be more productive and pay tax and let more people eat. (you're not looking at the long term!)


Suck? 20 hour day for a child who is half starved? Even Dickens painted a better picture of kids!


Yep, because we want it now and we want it cheap! and Their governements dont give a shyte because of their caste system! (lower castes work in these places in India)


If prices were regulated then we wouldnt know any different? The coffee and chocolate industry phuck these people over on a regular basis (Ive moved on to Africa now) with the price fixing on the stock market.


We used to and it was better quality, people are more productive and quality control is higher.


We live in a world where the word "slave" shouldnt exist.

You know me well enough to know Im not some bleeding heart liberal, but if we dont like them landing on our shores, we should:

A) accept they are going want to escape to a better place
B) pay them more so they have a better standard of living and want to stay where they are

In your own words, in a 100 words or less, what reason is that?

We all know that these countires have corrupt governments and these business take what they can get due to desperation, they are over populated and uneducated and this is just perpetuated with each generation...We dont need 100 words.

There was a study done in India, one village was given a good education and contreception and it thrived (2 child family)..while a study was carried out on another village(average 6 children) who went out their daily lives and believed that breeding more kids to till the land was the way to go....

Easy..

a.) Lack of.. and I mean a severe lack of organization. Everybody f.ucking about doing there own thing.

b.) Lack of basic reciprocity. If there is general well being.. it benefits everyone, etc, esp the rich. Not exactly rocket science.

c.) Lack of intelligence. Sorry but if you had it you would have realized a.) and b.)

No.. Poland is not 3rd world but it has weird tenets of it. Slavs in general prey on each other.. which of course screws everything up for everybody.

Kidding me right?

You should buy a polish history book and learn something about the country before accusing poles!

There you go! amazon.co.uk/Poland-history-Adam-Zamoyski/dp/0007282753


Could't care less if people respects me or not, only thing that irritates me is the ignorance some people have.

Look at this damn sentence right here.. You basically validate what everybody is saying.. YOU ARE TOO SENSITIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING. Jesus man, everybody gets laughed and messed with.. that's life.

empty books???? nahhh!!!

Funny man, being ignorant wont help you ;)

Atleast you got this forum where you can flame the poles as you like. Ever confronted a pole about your opinions about poles in real life? or wait... I Don't want to hear your made up story.

It looks like a fairly successful country based on the history. Has defended itself over the course of 1000 years. So are you happy with where Poland is today? Do you think that 1000 years of history should be taken into account before judging someone in our lifetime?

I'm afraid to ask him anything.. Saying "hello" to him would probably offend him if I don't do it in the right tone and chime. He's what I hate about a lot of Poles.. Everybody's a king, nobody wears a crown.. that kind of thing.

This is a strange post, i do remember the Germans helping out quite a lot at the time of the 1997 floods.

It's a question of what is meant by "cold shoulder"?

Ehm wrong thread? xD


Indeed in the end we are all individuals. But people especially brits ain't judging the individuals in Poland. They just see the "Pole" therefore i recommend people to read up some on the polish history and maybe learn a thing or two about the "poles".


Would my answer make any difference in this conversation?


Thanks, not often people bow for me. But i guess that's something i could get used too ;)

WITH THE MOST FAMOUS GUN IN THE WORLD!!!!!!

Considering you were brought up in a different country as well we all know on here, because you told everyone...then no not really because I already know you dont know the reality of Poland.


Just like the poster?

God Espana, you are such a fool, I am surprised that you are still on this forum, I mean nobody takes you seriously(:
