Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

But also I am a little bit worried, bcoz all the pics I have seen in the hostel's webpages, are from people that seem to be from Europe, even Poland... and I'm Mexican and I totally look like a latin girl, so will they treat me well?

FFS girl, relax!!!! If you are so "Latin" looking then duh,that means Spanish and Spain is kinda in Europe......even if you don't look Spanish,so what, this is Europe,not Arizona ;)

I'm kind of like smiling anyone... and saying "Hi" if they look at me... even if i don't know them....

Well, you are a Woman so this is only going to be a problem in so much as lots if not most guys will think you are flirting with them,its different for us guys on a country by country basis in Europe. I do the smiley thing a lot with strangers too and some countries get it,others look at you as if you landed from Mars :)

who doesn't know me, was kind of rude, because I said hello to him too... and he was like: do i know u?.

Thats not culture,thats just rude.......or a lad being a lad,ie not being very good around girls :)

History / Polish civilization is older than English or French. Why do Poland follow them? [64]

yeah, and tomorrow is eastern ;)

Now,I know English is a second tongue for you,but.....WTF do you mean Eastern????
A wild guess though is you are trying to say Im wrong in some way. Well, Im just stating facts,not making judgments,ie Ireland doesnt "win" anything for being an older far more established collection of folks than poland...

From your own links;
The establishment of a Polish state is often identified with the adoption of Christianity by its ruler Mieszko I in 966, over the territory similar to that of present-day Poland. The Kingdom of Poland was formed in 1025

..beginning in the 7th century AD, a concept of national kingship gradually became articulated through the concept of a High King of Ireland.....The Chronicle of Ireland records that in 431 AD Bishop Palladius arrived in Ireland on a mission from Pope Celestine I to minister to the Irish "already believing in Christ." The same chronicle records that Saint Patrick, Ireland's best known patron saint, arrived the following year. ...

History / Do you regard the Polish Communist Partizans as heroes? [36]

Simple answer is until 1989 ish the Communist Partisans were the Official Heros of Polish resistance simply because the AK was far too hot a potatoe to go near. The rank and file were seen as patriots led by fascist traitors. Since the fall of communism it would seem its all change, the AK are now the Official Heroes while the communist partisans are rarely mentioned. Give it 20 years and there may be a bit of balance to these things,but not quite yet. Its the same with the LWP etc.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [243]

Seeing as this thread touches on the supposed mistreatment of Poles then I will continue to shed light on this.

I didnt say the Poles had been mistreated,I just said that the effect of people coming here who didnt know what wages to demand has led to a drive down in a lot of wages.....everyone therefore is being "mistreated" in that respect.

Firstly, the Poles ARE at fault here because Poland is obviously failing at providing it's citizens with adequete work and pay

So,you think its young Tomek stacking shelves in Aldi's fault that his country didnt have the economic advantages ours did in 04 then? Very rational I must say....

and the Poles are not doing enough themself to correct the situation.

Give over.... what are YOU doing,in your position in a garden centre, to correct the economic situation in Britain? What do you think you could do?

This is NOT down to number 10, immigration law is the same throughout EU member countries. OPEN DOOR policy.

Doesnt matter how many words you put in capitols,you are still wrong. In 04 ,untill last year infact, it was only the UK that allowed free movement to Poles to come and work here,Germany and France etc did NOT have an open door policy,so,yes,it was OUR governments fault.

So unfortunate young Brits will continue to suffer due to an obvious lack of empathy on the part of these Poles.

Now you are just being a pillock.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [243]

HOLES as in GAPS as in SPACES. Meaning lack of work comprendre?

Sorry chum, but what you said implies that there are gaps in the job market, ie,plenty of jobs to be filled, not lack there of,savy?

And despite the lack of any silly nationality tag in my screen name,make no mistake, I was born and raised here as were my ancestors .

Maybe what you should have said is " Why would anyone employ british workers who still expect to be paid a decent wage when there are plenty of stoopid Poles willing to work for peanuts?"

Disclaimer, by "stoopid Poles" if in 04 "you" lot had done a little homework into wages in the UK the young lad next door (and the Poles here too)would not be working a 12 hour shift in a warehouse for minimumn wage. Even in the 90s when I did warehouse work one student summer break I earned over £12.oo per hour basic, 15 years later and thanks to people willing to ,as I say,work for peanuts and live 15/20 to a house (as was in 04/05/06) people who had a decent wage to raise a family on are now reduced to earning £6.oo ph for longer hours and zero job security.

Not cricket.
Still,most rational people dont "blame" Poles or anyone else who came here,but put the blame firmly at No10.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

Maps can be entertaining. I read in some novel about fantasm that included the conspiracy of cartographers all over the world to make the countries of Northern hemisphere in the books larger than they really are compared to the Southern hemisphere states.

That is actually fact,look at older maps from the early 20th century and compare the size of africa to a modern map......either the maps were wrong (which they were ) or Africa has grown......

Geographicaly its Eastern europe............but, its always faced West (cept when invading eastwards and grabing moscow etc ;) ) being for so long the b!tch of Rome has left a freaky amount of snobbery which recoils at being lumped in with those barbarian ortho types.....what I cant understand is the desperate need of some to be a little fish in a big pond when they could be the big fish in the local pond,ah well.

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]

While others can always say - well, whatever, who cares? - even though those luckier nation are generally relay on myths themselves, at least general public does.

Well said that man! Or as King Arthur once said to Robin Hood, " That old King was a silly old Cnut for trying to turn back the sea,what was his name again?"

History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]

Only time that order was given was during the first battle of the somme,in mid summer the tommies were over loaded with extra equipment and had much farther to go to the german trench lines than usual,so the order to walk was given with the understanding that A, the germans MG positions would have been wiped out by the heavy arty bombardment and B, no point in exhausting yourself before the fight.

So,in short, a sensible order that has been twisted for years to fit in with the false stereotype of lions lead by donkeys.....
Sorry Ogorki.....but british disapline gave us the worlds largest ever empire, like that fact or not you are onto a hiding to nothing trying to mock its effectivness.

History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]

At this time of night Im not even going to try to follow that last bit retro dog :)
But, extrapolating a bit.I guess its simple really, Hurrican sqdrns were largely tasked with attacking German Bomber formations while the Spitfire sqdrns often flew top cover against the German fighter escorts, stands to reason you will get a higher tally if you are attacking JU 87s with one ickle mg 15 poking out the back than you will taking on something with 3 cannons firing heavy lead at you.

History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]

It's entirely possible that they flew Hurricanes during the BoB and their squadrons later switched to Spitfires.

Thats the one.

All Poles were flying Hurricanes (inferior planes) through all of BoB, Spitfires were reserved for brits.

Rubbish.

You told me a few years ago that they were flying in Spitfires, your uncles that is

Piece together posts on this page,not by me,and you get your answer.a hint, Pilots didnt just fly one type of plane throughout the war :)

When Pilots flew in France,then The BofB then the Western Desert then Italy,Normandy etc etc .....

So,anyway, whats funny is,if you google Top Scoring Battle of Britain Aces this thread comes up with the outright lie that two Pilots in 303 sqdrn were the top scorers........check any other source and its clear that 3 Brits were the top three,then a Czech then two Kiwis followed by another Briton then in 8th place is the first Pole, Urbanowicz.

Whatsmore,of the Top 5 aces 3 were flying Hurricanes during the Battle. In the top 10 ,7 out of 10 flew Hurricanes
