Life / What on earth is the fascination of Indians, Pakistanis and Nepalese with Poland? [112]

Stu and others ... I would also like to wonder "What on earth is the facination of UK, USA, Autralians and other Western folks with Poland?" ... is it because they want someone who would be "grateful"? ... somehow a "facination, a day dream" drives them here? ... what drove you here? Business? Scam are you? ... You can be too ... ya know ... anyone can... it is not something which goes by color or race you see. These days its not uncommon to get emails of scammers from UK or other parts of Europe aswell. Lets not forget the biggest scammers in case of dates and relationships being that of Russia (not an African nation).

Work / part-time job in Poland needs work permit? [40]

Students should be given work permits by default. This demand is there in Poland and it is an issue to look out for in the near future. I can tell you that the future is better in this regard.

Love / Goal: Meet a nice Polish girl! [62]

You will meet Polish girl ... nice or not depends on you and your luck.

There are many kinds of Polish girls (just like everyone else) ... I don't know which ones most frequently meet those middle aged, rich man from a rich country. You need to discover yourself about your experience ...

Do inform what happened next ...

News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]

I think

I think you need to be put into some isolated prison, away from civilization ... where researchers would run tests on your, so that they can know how to explain what makes people like you psychologically so unstable and violent, and how to NOT LET the future generation have any such people of your kind. It will benefit Poles and the entire mankind. :)

Life / IS Poland in danger of becoming the next multi cultural sink hole? [201]

I am just against multiculturalism

Lock yourself up in a room and be against it ... it doesn't matter ... you will not be able to step a reasonable level of it :)

is it so hard to understand?

Its foolish, nothing else. Otherwise perfectly noticeable ... that you are up to no good :)

UK, Ireland / A South African moving to Poland with Polish wife- we live in London. Excited and scared. [27]

appreciate everyones suggestions....

I've worked in the clothing industry. Where will you import from?... any plans? On the basis of that I can suggest.

Also what will you import? - Knitwear, woven or sweaters or others? ... which end? ... Do you know how you will market them?

You cannot just wake up one morning and say "I wanna import and make money" :)

I have a weak spot for South Africns.

Me too... also Mr. Nelson Mandela ... and then there are other good people. They are good in almost every sport. I mean, they can play any of the many kinds of sport.

In South Africa, as they say, "Its Possible" :D

Life / IS Poland in danger of becoming the next multi cultural sink hole? [201]

You believe some doctor should come to Poland to swipe the floors?

Look enough said ... I think think your views are forward looking.

My country, my policies ... and my vote counts. Plus, I have decent friends from other countries and none swipe floors. They are doing good work and contributing positively to Poland.

I don't think that if you go Estonia you will find many Russians being Estonianized ... and same are in many other parts.

Stop those rants ... or continue in your country which is probably USA or some other place where you are creating havoc. Had you any love for Poland, you would love its wishes and its freedom. It's people have a history of being better than what you want it to become with your ideals.

Sorry to say but we will not be a SHUT DOWN foolish state ... and will integrate with the world and would like to see a little diversity too like the rest of the developed world. You don't like it? ... then find a country which is run by some Hitler and stay there :) ... simple.

to settle in Poland only becouse some Poles want to have ethnic food from time to time.

Why only Ethnic food ... but also some ethnicity :) ... it looks so nice ... but ofcourse, with proper policies, proper people ... and there are many who love it :)

perfectly legal sexual practices

What can I tell you on this? I think you need more learning on what is what ...

I can assure you it is very common

How? ...

xenophobic tendencies.

I don't need to state the obvious, a bit "NO" to this accusation. At most we are just not used to, and its not a problem when a neighbor would come of another color, we would still be friendly.

.go ask your mom or aunts and uncles

They are all educated, confident and dignified people which high self esteem and good morals. I know them better than you ... even my friends.

Some of my friends (including myself) have spouse from another race. They are all good people with nice jobs and a healthy Polish family now. There are no issues, and the diversity is enjoyed, and people try to be helpful.

Its about the bringing up of a person ... how sincere are you, and what are your values.

Love / Do Polish men like to sleep with other men? [79]

I don't know how common or uncommon it is in Italy or Arab world.

In Poland it is not so common... and the author is just trying to insult is my firm understanding. If you think differently, suit yourself.

By saying this I am neither supporting, nor attacking anyone who practices this act. However, I do not see why the author would try to highlight Poles in such a generalizing statement which is completely false and very inciting.

Life / IS Poland in danger of becoming the next multi cultural sink hole? [201]

Just read this thread.

This thread is representative of people from western Europe, not Poland. I am the Pole so I know what I am talking about. You stay with your ideas ... which are vague and stupid.

they do integrate

They do integrate when immigration policies are good and the people of the home country also support this integration process.

one generation and they are through and trough Polish

Not really ... it takes integration everywhere.

However ... I think me and the rest of the Polish public should decide for our country and how it would integrate. You and your failed policies, reckless violent nature are not invited.

Life / IS Poland in danger of becoming the next multi cultural sink hole? [201]

not many Poles living in Poland on here, so how is it representative?

Read the post of those who are, and me among them. I think the there is no such sink hole. Poland wishes to integrate into the global community and move ahead in pace with the increasing trend towards the Global Village Era.

I wish we had a better economy to attract better minds from all over and have them Polonized :). Also, there should be immigration policies which give priority to genuine students, skilled worker and investor.

Sorry we do not wish to be tied down to medeival stupid ego and prejudices.

Life / New Polish generation prefers black culture? [145]

what's the point of the dish?

Poland has a rich culture.

Anyways, I thought you were Indian so I said Naamaste :) ... but I think I know that Sasrikaal is a form of "Hello" in your language too. Regional "Hello"? I know less, but I read some books and have some good Indian friends who now are very much Polish with families here. We studied in University together... it is a nice experience. Also, I have Kashmir, Bangladesh and Egyptian friends if we talk of East (although Egypt is rather South).

Again, back to the point. It is nice to have a little of many cultures, but the mainstream is Polish Culture in Poland. Although if you think of it, in a world increasingly turning into a global village, cultural barriers are fast becoming vague, and people are coming together through exchange of information and emotions. It is a nice thing, but the eventual Global Culture if there ever will be, must be something acceptable to all and not just a group of people.

In any condition, the so called "Thuggy, Gangsta etc" thing should probably not last. Instead, there are nice African values which can surely be discovered if it is studied deeply.

I am Punjabi... Sikh... of the Jatt caste

Naamaste ... :) :D ...

I have a friend who matches the same description. Wonder what you name is :). You come from Poland?

Anyways, as I mentioned, it is not THE LIFESTYLE of new generation Poles, you have been misinformed, or someone misrepresented Poland to you.

Life / New Polish generation prefers black culture? [145]

quite offensive

How did I offend you? Why do you think I preach complete liberalism? Did I ever mention such a thing?

I believe in balance, and balance is better than any ism.

I am not interested to please all with my words, as long as they are consistent and according to my beliefs ... if ofcourse there is a reasonable opinion against it, I would like to pay attention to it. However, the black gangsta culture, or the thuggy thing is not at all to be followed or appreciated.

I do not thing all or most of the new generation of Poles like such stuff. There are other forms of music which have great acceptance among the people ... ofcourse this form of music with the author talks about it also listened, but to think that this is the TOP OF THE CHOICE would be silly.

Law / Applying for Polish citizenship through marriage. [116]

However being divorced after a long period of marriage, with a child ... will never let your life be same again, and whether Poland or any other country, you will partake the curse of spoiling a child's right to have a healthy caring family with both parents.

I don't know whether you will meet good luck or bad, but whatever happens, it seems you will face it in Poland.

Life / New Polish generation prefers black culture? [145]

It,s a world thing not just Polish

No it is not a world thing. There are many other music which can be very interesting. I for one like Persian classical, as well as Indian Sufi ... and also American Jazz ... also Spanish Influences into music.

As for the "Black Culture" ... I think it would not be a correct statement, due to so many blacks into an entire separate continent of Africa (Central and South), and then Americas ... all have variations in their culture. I feel that the GANGSTA and the THUGGY or other forms of various names have a very negative image. No person with a decent mind, a good education and a healthy family structure would be attracted to such stuff. Among these people I would also include dignified and educated black folks.

Although I am not the man to really be able to say when it comes exclusively to blacks, because I never had the opportunity to know a black person up close or befriend that well ... but I have faith that not all can be into this Hip-Hop, thuggy, gangsta kind of thing. But as I said, through the media we know that most seem to be on this track.

Hence, whether they are into it or not, many aimless Polish youth with broken families, lack of values, or disinterested in education can follow such things. They may create a lot of noise, but the do not represent the whole of Polish New Generation in any which ever way you can think of.

If you mean the "Ghetto" and the "Gangsta" ... then I don't think that most of the Polish New Generation prefer it. There are derailed, and mostly disinterested in education youth who would be into it. But this is not a healthy thing.

I pity this culture, and those blacks who are not a part of it are labelled for it in a very unfortunate manner.

Although it does seem that a huge part of the black population are a part of it.

It is not a good culture.

UK, Ireland / A South African moving to Poland with Polish wife- we live in London. Excited and scared. [27]

Hello Kurt, welcome to Poland. So you are a South African with a business in London and looking for a citizenship in Poland? :D :) ... nice!

OK, since you are married and have a child through her, it shouldn't be so difficult to get a citizenship. The best place to know would be the Polish embassy in your country.

But in any condition, have a happy stay.

Oh and by the way, I don't think you will need to pay taxes in Poland, but only those taxes which you will have to pay to bring in the money to spend in Poland.

Work / (IT field) moving from India to Poland -Wroclaw in May '11 [46]

(esp relating to the treatment of ethnic and religious minorities).

This might remain a continuing problem with them. However, with support from USA and UK ... I feel that day is not that far away. Wait till it happens and you will see some changes in Europe. I don't know if the changes will be positive or negative. But we might not have to wait too long to find out.

Love / Expat marrying Polish - honest experiences [38]

All I can say its a good experience till now, and with mutual effort, it should be better as time goes by.

By the way, there is no way you can judge your own relationship with other people's experiences. As Leo Tolstoy said:

"All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
