Brits say being drunk senseless while visiting Poland is national trait [98]
people who prefer to think with their fists
Simply, I grow tired of posters who type all this tough crap, talk about how the Brits are all this and that and Yanks are all superior in their attitudes yet under-educated and classless. I don`t know any Americans who behave in a superior manner or who think the USA is just the greatest country in the world. We are our own toughest critics. Brits just take it off their politicians. The politicians say, "OK. This is what the people need to do", and the Brits just all go along like a bunch of robots. Brits are the former world power who lost it to the USA. Everyone talks about our debt, and how our economy is in such bad shape, and I look at the Brits with their 400% of GDP debt vs USA at 95% of GDP.
I look at the USA with out $46,000 per person income vs the Brits at $36,000. I look at all the messes the Brits created in world with Kuwait and Israel and India and Pakistan, and how they backed out and left the USA to clean it up. Brits like to criticize the USA for slavery, yet Brits were notorious slavers. Ever heard of the Triangular Trade? The Brits were leaders in the Atlantic trade. Even the Church of England owned slaves. The British began slavery in the USA, and after we ran them off we began to free them over the years until we finally had a war to settle the matter. And that is just the Africans and New Guineas. The Brits enslaved all of India, murdered thousands. That is what Brits do, and that is why the one douche bag above stated that the UK owns Poland. He believes it.
I like Poland, I have nothing against Poland. I used to like Brits, but realize after reading some of their garbage on here that they actually think they are superior, not only to the USA, but to Poland. Thing is, it is based on nothing but very old history and an arrogant attitude substantiated by nothing.
It is quite something to criticize the USA for the wars we are involved with, and sit back and point fingers that we are trying to control the world, but it is quite something else when what we really are doing is cleaning up some old issues the Brits created and ran away from.
If not for the USA, and unfortunately for Poland, the Russians, a large part of Europe would be officially bi-lingual, and one of those languages would be German. If not for Poland, Europe would be over-run with Turks. Britain never did anything for anyone except themselves with their raping of the world for commercial gain. They are jealous of the USA because we all have two cars and earn large salaries. They live in little apartments and subsist on the dole and drive little cars with three wheels. We ride monster motorcycles, and they ride one cylinder scooters.
Brits criticize the USA, and we have only ever bailed them out of one mess after another. When I look back at WWII and my grandfather's brother died in Normandy, my grandfather had his eye shot out, and my oldest uncle was executed after being captured by the Germans at the ripe old age of 19, I think, why did we bother? Why did we do all that fighting and dying for Europe? Why did we protect Europe from the USSR for all those years after the war when Europe was blown to Hell. Yeah, I know that didn't help Poland, and I wish it had. Poland should not have been bargained off to appease the Soviets just so it could be turned into an extended Soviet industrial state. That was insult to injury for the Poles.
But what did the Brits do for Poland? Nothing. What do they do now? Nothing, except give you jobs at half British wages, come to Poland and teach English, get drunk and vomit in your streets. The one thing the USA did do for Poland was permit about 1 million of your people to come and live. Have citizenship lotteries, which is the most bizarre thing I`ve ever heard of. Where is the second largest Polish city in the world? Yeah, Chicago. Travelling through Poland I asked a lot of people, "How did you build this nice house if Poland was so broken after the war?" The answer? "$5, $10, $20 from Chicago."
No, I don`t like Brits. I don't like them at all. I used to have a few friends, but Brits are arrogant nationalists, and it based on nothing. If you retired that old bird, the Queen or whatever, and sent Charles packing and told the princes to get real jobs, the whole identity of Britain would fade to nothing. They hang on to this remnant of the past, because do not want to accept that they are has beens.
I support visa waivers for Poles to the USA. I think it is ridiculous and is an antiquated idea to require applications and fees and proof of stability in Poland before you can get one. I mean, most Poles just want to come visit relatives and look around, not live in the damn place. Poles and Americans should be great and close allies, and the Poles deserve more respect from the American government. I also think that Poles should be given working rights in the USA. If you want to come and work and live, why not? Poland wouldn`t empty out. Some would come and work for six months and travel around and just go back home after they got bored with it all. The reason many stay illegally is because they know that when they leave, they will not allowed to return if they have overstayed.
I do NOT support Romanians or Bulgarians and the like to come and go as they please, but Poles have only ever helped the USA against adversaries. Poles helped us run the Brits off during the Revolution. Maybe that is why Brits now want to claim Poland in some way as if they have conquered Poles for Poles kicking their asses during the American Revolution. You think Brits do not think like that? Oh, they do. They are pissed at how far they have fallen in the world, and they blame it on the USA.
