Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

AntiMonoPolo#1,

I don't usually resort to this: You are so full of shite.

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

I don't know which is worse. Your attitude to Poland or the fact that you think Bjork can sing.

Law / Hiring a Polish Worker - Pros and Cons [107]

James4u,

Voting won't change the view of business, which is more output for less wages. It's about profit. So, you might be better off arguing your case with your boss. But I'm sure you already know what he is going to say.

There is another side to this. We can stay here where costs are lower and watch as all the business comes to us. I for one don't mind if, for example, car production moves to Poland.

Be careful what you wish.

Law / Hiring a Polish Worker - Pros and Cons [107]

James4u,

Anyone who turns to the BNP [in my opinion] is certainly misguided. I think the next government in the UK will be Conservative as they are the only viable opposition. Voters may choose the BNP in [some] local elections but that's about as far as it will go.

I don't think that places like Bradford will vote in the BNP.

Life / Barking Dogs in Poland [62]

To deal with a dog and not have the Police after you: use a water pistol.

Or spray it with your least favorite deoderant.

Not that I know of. That's why genealogists have so many problems.

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

The term Paki has always been an offensive term, even though it is a short form of Pakistani. It singles out a people who are of a different colour and tradition. It [Paki] refers to a group who can easily be identified and blamed when everything is not right in normal [white] society. The term Paki is almost always followed by a negative comment and it is this that makes it offensive. The negative term of Paki came about when Pakistanis emigrated to the UK in their thousands back in the 60s. The equivalent nowadays would be Poles moving to the UK en-masse and all the abuse they get. Sooner or later a term will be invented to define, in a negative way, these Poles. It might be the word Pole.

Ryan,

Is your post directed at me.

Language / "Poles" or "Polish people" - which is better to use? [200]

This is a strange one. I use the term Poles on this web-site because other Polish people use it. But I never use it at other times. I usually use "Polish people". In light of what I have just said on another thread I'll use "Polish People" from now on.

No problem :)

Genealogy / Josef Surowiec from Wojkon (can't find this town) and his ancestors [24]

According to one genealogy web-site the folk on Ellis Island didn't screw up the names and places. The names and places came from the ships manifest and were then copied.

I have no idea what the truth is.

I go with the original Ellis Island screwed it up version.

Genealogy / Want to find a person [762]

You shouldn't be posting names on the internet.

Genealogy / Want to find a person [762]

Ranj,

Do you want your full name on the internet ? I doubt it.

When talking about living people, who are not in the media, it is protocol not to use their names.

If someone wants a trace they should do it through a private message.

:)

Genealogy / Want to find a person [762]

Ranj,
I take your point.

nlly,

A father doesn't just forget where his daughter is. I suspect that there is more to this.

The real father can simply contact the police.

Genealogy / Want to find a person [762]

nilly,

I understand your problem now. And you do have a problem. Things might have changed in
the family, if it has been a number of years. Do you believe that the child wants to meet the father ?

You could look for a web-site, message board for the town and write something there.

I wouldn't use names if I were you.

Try something like this: Dominican father looking for ten year old daughter.

Then hope that the mother or a friend finds the post before the daughter does.

Travel / Storks - the Symbol of Poland [59]

I don't know what happened. For some reason the storks didn't appear. We usually have two or three nesting pairs in our village, but I never saw any sign of them this summer.

We also have a house in the country. About 45km from here.

gabby,

If this message is for you then it is very insulting. If I translate it Admin will cancel it.

It is full of hate, which is directed at the reader.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

gabby,

The person who wrote the text wants you out of their life. They do not want anymore contact with you.

That is as much as I will say. I'm sorry if it comes from someone you trusted.
