Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

English girls seem to come off worst, because there is a wider range of types, and a vast, and growing, group of badly-dressed, over weight.

Whilst in Krakow a few years back I thought the women looked lovely (but not up to the standards of Italian women by any stretch of the imagination)...but in the UK, you can spot a Polish girl a mile off...cheap clothes and cheap dyed hair...sorry hun, but I see plenty more English women shopping Coast and KM and in the hair dressers getting their highlights done that are well presented than their are Polish girls doing like wise...

You seem to think you're a cut above the rest here because you're half Polish...trust me there are plenty of fugly Polish women about, living in Manchester Ive seen plenty of them!!

UK, Ireland / Poland continues to milk Ireland dry. [129]

We never asked for reparations or an apology. So taking a few of ours is the least you can do!

That really tickled me, if England were to repatriate everyone with Irish heritage, whites would be in a miniorty ;0) You can have the gypos back though..

haha true!

Nothing funny about benefit cheats!

Life / Teenage Pregnancy in Poland [108]

How do you know these girls are un married you judgemental twats?

My thoughts exactly and 19 is hardly a gym slip mum is it! And if they are not married, it doesnt mean they are not in a loving relationship...There are worse things in the world than some young(ish) girl having a baby out of wedlock!

In the city I live I think I've seen and met more teen-mum rather than just 'teens'...

Me thinks you are totally exaggerating! Having been to Poland 3 times I didnt notice a huge amount of pram pushing teens..that I come across in major cities in the UK...

. just guess their age next time! I know it might not be fair as it could be the teen's sibling but a bit of enquiry doesnt harm! does it!!! ;)

Why on earth would anyone in their right mind with a life want to do such a thing?

but many of them go too countries like UK to do abortion but not all of them can afford them, can they?

And where did you get this little gem from? A person has to have a fixed address and be registered with a GP to get an abortion, one doesnt simply tip up at a clinic or hospital and get it done for free...get your facts right before posting utter rubbish! If they go private they give less information but it'll cost them a considerable amount of money!

Work / Brazilian in Poland needing help - ideas to find a job? [22]

Yet you were so quick to criticise him, I personally found his English excellent for a none native..better than a lot of foreigners who have lived on my island for decades!

Well, I know that I am far away from being perfect.

Not as far as you might think ;0)

But is(it's)being(been) a little bit hard to find a job

Moreover, I am with(speak) Spanish and Engishin(at an) advanced level.

the above are your only glaring mistakes - in bold are correct in italics are incorrect (but no doubt someone will tell me Im wrong ;0) )

As for a job, hotel or bar work in places that you get a lot of tourists or business travellers - you have the lang skills and Im sure the Brazilian charm..put them to use! Good luck!

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

Funny discussion. Just close your eyes (or turn off the lights, if you want) and then tell me if a woman is able to feel the difference between a circumcized and an uncut dick. I know the answer...

You cant tell and asthetically they dont look that different when hard...

Not sure what sex in the city has to do with all this...I watched it for years and it didnt sway me either way...iit all depends on the penis I suppose some look horrid some look nice and that goes for both cut and uncut..

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

Yes, that was the answer I was talking about... :)

One has to have the personal experience to be able to comment with an informed answer IMHO ;0)

It never became popular in the UK and its looked upon as more a religious thing here in the UK, i.e. only Jewish people and Muslims do it, culturally its just not done thing, but thats not to say there arent plenty of snipped pullys out there..I wouldnt have a clue what women in the UK think about it because Ive never asked...Personally I dont think they'd really care as long as it was fully functioning and put a a smile their face :D

because Charlotte apparently found an uncircumcised one very distasteful, and this is an indication of what all women think, because all women are like the women on Sex and the City, and that is why all women watch it, talk about it and envy the women on it their lifestyles

Its a programme, nothing more...the women who envy it and try to live by it are thicko losers who dont actually have a life...they'd also be lucky to get a glimse of a cock on screen let alone in real life!

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]

The Brits are somewhat isolated and the rest of Europe believes that their politicians are simply a nuisance like a feckin horsefly.

Isolated? We're and Island :) We have the same number of MEP seats as France we are the 4th largest contibutor (13.5%) (Poland contribute 1.5% - just to put it into perspective!) we have given £14 billion for the bail out of the PIGS because of a currency we dont have and dont want...so Id say we are slightly more significant that what you are making out...

As for Poland being a success story...ripples in the pond...it's a matter of time...

Love / Can Polish men date with Chinese women? [23]

I work with a Chinese girl who is married to a Polish guy, she is smart and pretty and confident...so yes this mix is possible and yes it appears to work..Chinese women age better and genitcally less prone to piling on the lbs, keep this in mind...thats got to be a confidence boost :)

and one mate told me that slavic people are too beautiful to date with asians.

Life / Health system in Poland one of the worst in Europe: report [78]

If i was seriously ill i'd crawl over broken glass to get back to the UK. The NHS is the greatest public health institution in the world.

I had to compose myself after laughing after reading this comment...Both my parents have had to go private in the last 5 years because of waiting lists, they were in that much pain and that ill, the wait wasnt possible. I waited 12 weeks for one session of physio for a painful shoulder injury and we don’t start screening for cervical cancer until a woman is 25 which is disgusting...We are not the greatest health institute in the world, we just happen to free (well its not I pay through my NICs contributions)...Ever heard the term postcode lottery? I have had good experiences too, I have had excellent care when its been needed

Life / Health system in Poland one of the worst in Europe: report [78]

What we should be looking at are facts and how those facts are gathered

The facts are that every health service has its down sides and it generally depends on where you live and in a lot of cases what you can afford, even in the UK! Whilst people are boasting about the NHS - all my family work within and yet both my sisters have insisted on getting their daughers vacinated against cervical cancer privately because what is offered on the NHS is poor and lacking to say the least!, they are medical experts and wouldnt let their kids be treated by the NHS, whilst that is anecdotal, its got to count for something since they work for the system we are talking about?

Postcode lottery or not the NHS is one on the wonders of the world.

No it's not, its a joke, do you know how many maternity units have been closed in the last year? Do you know how much funding has been cut, whilst untilties and food costs rise the amount the NHS are receiving has decreased! I very much doubt it, so if I were you, Id keep quiet, I appreciate your family have decent treatment, but you really have no idea.

Life / Which services is Poland still waiting for? [218]

Laundretts are not that common in the UK these days and who the hell cares if there's an manky drive through MacDonnalds? There must be some REAL services that people want that dont have?

Try asking for real tea. A pot of hot water with a tea bag next to it isn't tea. The water has to be poured from the kettle on to the leaves or bag and left to brew for several minutes. Otherwise it's just coloured water.

Haha you can tell you're a Notherner, you want a brew you can stand your t-spoon up in :)

Man Utd and Chelsea have more hooligan related arrests each season than all the clubs in Poland combined.

HAHAHAHA..thats hilarious, when was the last time you went to a Man U game?

Here, just a recent example of an innocent white guy killed by black violence.

That was over an argument that happened at some shops over the road from the pub, absolutely nothing to do with football, the young lad that died and his dad happend to be in a pub watching the football!

Life / A new Poland's war - the poor vs the rich [81]

London riots for me was essentially the perfect example of the poor rising up against the rich ion the only way they know how - anarchy.

No it wasnt, your average family who are struggling were at work trying to make a living, whilst the scum who dont work were on the streets mugging and smashing shops up and taking what they wanted and left a huge mess behind them and ruined the livelihood of hundreds of people who are struggling in these hard times!

The London/UK riots last year were caused by spoilt brats who had gotten bored with their trendy gadgets and wanted to try sth different, like burning houses, for a change.

SOOOOOOOOOOO true!

its a well documented fact that the majority of the London rioters were of foreign ethnicities, in a word poor people

There were also plenty of foreign ethnics who had their businesses burnt and looted!

The point is in very far future. Polish brats aren`t as spoilt as British counterparts.

Not yet..Sorry but a time will come when they are just has horrid...

Real, would be something that enriches someones life, something that will make ones life easier, something convenient, a drive through MacDonalds wont really do that,unless you're some fatty who cant be bothered getting out his/her car (I can see why you'd find that a bit of a service!), and since people were comparing services to the UK, I pointed out that the laundrett is a dying thing because most if not all people have a washing machine and a dryer these days.

Life / A new Poland's war - the poor vs the rich [81]

There are plenty of underprivilege kids around the country that didnt feel the need to take to the streets to loot and destroy the businesses of decent people have worked hard to create, there are ways and means of being heard, destroying private and public property isnt the way forward as all these disgusting people have found out. The decent people were those who took the streets the day after to clean the mess up! They were ones who showed us that this country isnt such a bad place after all. Kids who apply themselves and are competive will be the ones who succeed, those who fail to realise that hard work and determination is what they require will fail and will end up in the same benefits trap their parents are in. I appreciate things are difficult in this country, but people must realise that in order to succeed, they have to work harder than ever!

We can delay this time by keeping RCC religion classes in schools as long as possible.

We have better exam results in Catholic schools in the UK, so you might be right ;0)

But was poverty really the main driving force behind the riots?

I dont believe it was, it was lack of structure, discipline, inability to grasp the fact they could have had a good education but blew it, lets blame it on someone but themselves mentality..They wanted the nice new shiny mobile phone but not prepared to work for it..they believe that working in a shop or fast food outlet is beneath them but at the same time they dont have the skills or education to get anything better and they aren't prepared to better themselves in order to get a decent job!

Life / A new Poland's war - the poor vs the rich [81]

Work hard at what? capitalism ----- assuming that growth is uncapped..... How many computers can be manufactered till there are no components left, just carry on driving cars till the oil wells run dry, just keep cooking til natural gas runs out. These are all finite resources THEY WILL DEPLETE.

Oh from riots and the poor to resources? Are you aware of the term "green energy" this country is a bit late on the bandwaggon but nevertheless, we are making moves towards a future of self-sufficiency, with solar / ground engery, as for gas etc, pray tell what car do you drive? Im quite content with my carbon foot print since I use public transport, which also going green, slowly but surely.

But hey Shelley aka amathyst lets just concern oursleves with economics rather than actual resources hey.....I mean lets not even bother thinking about actual GLOBAL energy resources when a good old price war is the main issue on many peoples minds. .........Small minds..........

What do you really know about the intricacies of economics? and what do you know about resources and this countries shift with regards to the energy industry? I wont insult you, because Im not going to lower myself, but my guess would be that your knowledge of both is rather limited, just like the reasons for the riots, hence the reason you have made this shift in your argument.

You perfectly know the possible result of calling other posters idiots. Especially, when they are intelligent women.

Thank you. Just noticed this :)

Life / A new Poland's war - the poor vs the rich [81]

There is no such thing as a useless degree...education is never wasted

Errrrm..Media degree? A nice soft option...and utterly useless to most because they chose it because its easy and were not capable of doing anything more, now and Engineering degree, that's useful, because the person taking it generally has a focus on a career they are going to pursue, as for education not being wasted, a large proportion of people going to university never use what they have learnt in the job they end up in, thats what I meant by useless and I do believe that educated can be wasted, kids in this country (UK) go to school for years and years and end up leaving with nothing!

What they may need is moral/ethics classes based on scripture and not the teachings of the Roman Catholic Cult

But in Catholic schools we are taught about moral ethics through religion, through the teachings of the bible.

Oh give me a break! Lazy? Hard working people are not lazy! The hardest working people are often the poorest. Quit stereotyping ffs and acknowledge that poor people work the hardest instead of rationalizing with lies.

But that hard working person has self-respect and is teaching his own family the value of hard work, so maybe they aren't the wealthiest in the pocket but they share something with their family that no dole scrounger could ever do, the feeling of being proud and hard working earning a living, work eithic is something that is lacking more and more these days, people want everything handed to them.

The previous mod was right about you, you are nasty little bully. You use personal abuse to overcome your lack of intellectual capacity, its not impressive in the slightest.

Agreed.

Lighten up. Quit nitpicking, you're demeaning your authority.

The mod in question actually apologised in a round about way, so I think you should apologise!

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

We cut our cloth accordingly and what people on here are conveniently forgetting is, there are plenty of people in the UK who are worrying what they put in their shopping trolly..to put it plain and simple, people struggle financially no matter where you go in Europe...its all relative really!

I worked with a couple of guys from the Warsaw office of my old company, they had bloody good lives and whilst they enjoyed their secondments, they wouldn't have swapped Warsaw for Manchester..why would they? They didn't own their own business, were not expats and to be quite honest, learnt about the same as a junior secretary (circa. £17k) in the UK (they were engineers) but apparently its more than enough to own an apartment in Warsaw, go snow boarding and have pretty damn good social life...the only thing thing they did find amazing was the price of clothes, trainers etc in the UK which was a lot cheaper..

UK and others would have been invaded by 36 million instead of 2.

2 million is still a considerable number and maybe it wasn't just about the money why some Polish people actually came to the UK?

oh, i tried to like it in France. I sort of did. But it was all a bit more earthy than I had expected.

You're knowledge and travels in France must be so so so limited if that's your view, the jazz clubs, the parks, the bars the restaurants the food and wine the culture is overwhelming and takes your breath away, from the chic boutiques and the promenade in Nice, to the million ££ yacht's in Antibes, not foregetting the history in Boulogne and Marseille, the French know a thing or two about a thing or two! I would strongly suggest you go back now you're an adult :)
