Love / Do Polish women have bad tempers? [49]

If things appear calm, remember that the temper or irritation is lurking just around the corner.

It's simple really, eyes never lie..

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]

Personally.... i wish you wouldn't.

people can say what they like...

:)

There are more beautiful girls in polish supermarket than in entire Greece(just kidding)

I know you're kidding, but it could be true. I mean, Greece has a population of about 11 million people, and Poland has a population of nearly 40 million people.. (Which means more women!)

That's why I often visit the polish supermarkets to check the prices.

And? Is everything still affordable?

I merely amuse myself with stereotypes :D

If you think stereotypes are amusing, then you shouldn't complain about someone else who uses the same stereotypes.

Scotish

And for ***** sake, buy a new keyboard.

Yes, little sunshine I am today, so top o' the mornin' to ya!

Feedback / The image of Poland according to PolishForums [90]

This forum is pretty negative about Poland. Sorry, but that's how I see it. There are only a handful of native Polish people on here, compared to the numbers of foreigners who post here. I think most members here are from the UK and the US.

I don't speak for Polish forums, TIT. People can speak for themselves and it's for you to glean the image.

Sensible as always.

Do Polish women have bad tempers?

Everyone has a bad temper sometimes, so this includes Polish women. I hope my answer satisfied your curiousity?

Life / What can citizens do to make Poland a better place to live? [125]

Edutainment, nice term :)

Isn't it? I'm a huge fan of controversy and humour. Whatever I choose to do or say, no matter how harsh or how shocking it may seem to some of you sometimes, I'll always keep it friendly whenever it really matters. And that's what counts isn't it? Not all the things I yell and say when I'm angry, or when I'm having a laugh.

Some people think too much, take too many things way too seriously, and judge too much. Honestly.

The easiest way to change things is to smile and start to rethink some rules.

I agree, I believe in simplicity when it comes to solutions. I think all the small things keep society going, and not the trillion dollar money schemes.

I find it hard to believe that I can't even get access to my own money 'na lokacie'. Just because my British passport lacks 2 letters, that's absurd!

LOL! Sorry, I know it's not funny..

Life / What can citizens do to make Poland a better place to live? [125]

A lot of nonsense is written on this forum but one thing which seems to run through many descriptions is the lack of taking responsibility.

I'm not responsible for all the nonsense! It's edutainment really..

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]

Found one and very happy with him (he really does satify my every need!)

In that case, I'm happy for you, but this doesn't change the fact that most girls who have high demands are the ones who stay single. It's just an observation.

Arien, Im not going to insult you, because I feel sorry for you.

I don't mind insults dear, because I've heard them all before. Oh, and don't feel sorry, because I've made up my mind about three years ago. I'm just having a laugh here, and I'm reasonably happy..

Correction, there are plenty of slim pretty English girls, they are just out of your league, we have natural selection process, any chump lugging a rucksack on their back is ruled out as being a bit of a loser in a low job with no prospects.

Cute. You really have an ego the size of Russia on your shoulders sometimes you know, but we all know the truth don't we? So please.. No offense, but most girls who sound like you can't ever find a boyfriend or a man who will satisfy them, simply because they have too many unrealistic demands.

Love / What to Get my Polish Guy for Valentines Day. [77]

I'm sorry about your relationship. Welcome back to the singles club I guess! Hey, we're not as sad as some people might think we are, we really aren't.

Just look at the bright side, you can do whatever the hell you want now, you don't have to prove anything to anyone anymore, or even ask anyone anything, and you can behave like a child anytime you want! You'll be over him in no time! Forget stress, just close your eyes, play your favourites songs and turn them up loud! It helps..

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]

Who cares? Your whole Bible is filled with lies, and even children have been abused within the Church. You're free to believe what you want to believe, but in this day and age people should really learn to accept eachother, and ofcourse you don't really need the Church to do that.

Wearing a cross or attending Church doesn't prove you're a Christian, and performing lip-service doesn't prove you're a Christian either. Most people who call themselves Christians aren't really Christians anyway, simply because most of them don't live by their own rules, and most of them don't practice what they preach.

Most people attend Church simply because the rest does it. (And not necessarily because they believe in it!) They're afraid of their own community, and they're afraid to be different. I see religion as a form of manipulative psychology, a tool to oppress people through irrational fear. Fear of the unknown. I also see it as a form of fascism, because its ideology expects all people to think and talk the same, which will never happen, which ofcourse causes all kinds of conflicts and social problems between people.

You're allowed to strongly disagree with me, but please do try to remember I'm not trying to insult you personally. It is simply how I see religion. I think our history has proven that nothing good will come of it a thousand times over already.

Food / Polish Milk Soup [72]

I guess we should respect the requests for recepies by the writers because no two people have the same likings for food, whether the recepies are good or bad.

Sure! I'm allowed to speak my mind though. It's not like I'm insulting you or anyone else because I don't like milk soup. (And I'm definitely not the only one!) I mean, people here are allowed to say something about my favourite type of music too, so I guess you'll just have to deal with it.

Well, atleast there are two sane persons here..

Love / About Polish sex - are Polish women made for love? [48]

I totally agree with you 110%

I'm disappointed, I was hoping for 120% really.. I've got a question though, did you actually take my post seriously? (You're not the only one who lies sometimes you know.)

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]

I hate nosey people too. I once slept with this English lady and I vaguely remember the rest of the neighboorhood standing outside after a few minutes, the girls giggling ofcourse! The guys shouting.. Ha-ha. ..Ha. Never seen two people naked before? Jesus H Christ what a childish society we seem to live in sometimes!

Worst of all, she left the window open and she had really thin curtains, so I think the whole neighbourhood saw us. It's amazing really, how some people manage to discover what you're doing in no time! It certainly makes you wonder if they're eavesdropping on you all the time, doesn't it? Or if you're somehow important? Should I feel flattered or something? I think Holland is even worse. If you sleep with a girl here, half the town will know about it within ten minutes.

The good news is ofcourse, that I simply don't care anymore. I've learned such gossip can be helpful sometimes, - if you're single and you've done something right that is - but most of the times talk like that can be utterly destructive..

I think it's sad really, but I'm not going to move even an inch because of liars, hypocrits and cowards anymore.

Love / About Polish sex - are Polish women made for love? [48]

Well..

*building up the suspension*

I've had Polish sex for the first time and it was wonderful! The second time was awesome, the third time was amazing, and the fourth time blew my mind.

I'm hooked, I'd say it's better than the English sex I've had so far. (Sorry!) But if there's an English lady who honestly thinks that English sex is better then ofcourse she's welcome to prove her point..

:)

I know, I'm hopeless.

News / International Political Parties (Poland and EU) [14]

Sure, as long as it doesn't cost working people any more money.

They have job centres everywhere, right? So why should that cost anyone any money I wonder? They already have access to certain files. They already have access to a database of employers, and they already have a network. How hard can it be to tell people to sign up if they're looking for a job? How hard can it be to exchange information with other job centres, wether they are Spanish, Swiss, Austrian, English, French, German, Dutch or Polish job centres?

Unfortunately, individual countries can't even make this effective at home at the moment.

Which is funny, because I remember well organised job centres in Holland, only about 15 years ago? They deliberately ruined these, all for the sake of privatizing business, and the new marketing system. I'm sure they're able to make these effective at home, if only they wanted to. (There's no excuse really, and everyone knows that most of the people in our countries aren't completely retarded yet!)

This creates ghettos and keeps labor costs artificially low.

I don't think so. I think this will help a lot of jobless people to make a start for themselves somewhere, or even help them to a contract. Ghetto? How? It's far better to build a decent appartment complex for foreign workers, because these appartments will have no impact whatsoever on housing prices, or the internal market, because they're exclusive destinations, designed for a special purpose. (Think!) You want to see ghetto's? Take a look in Rotterdam, where immigrants live in a house or an appartment together with twenty other people. (Which is illegal.)

Most Europeans are for a union, against a federalist superstate.

I'm for solutions. I wouldn't mind a federalistic superstate, as long as it keeps its democratic values. I wouldn't mind a union either. I happen to think that it's not about what type of system we have, but more about the values we keep. We need to be more co-operative, and more effective.

Process should look a bit like this, FDI and grants provided to build infrastructure and create jobs where needed. Make investment attractive enough to bring jobs, which raises salaries. Wash, rinse, repeat until prices and wages increase to become more or less equal.

Investments and infrastructure always help, but you'll need to give your workers some perspectives aswell. You can't expect skilled workers to sleep in a tent, can you? Or even expect them to be happy about living in a bungalow or a house, together with twenty other people.

So that's why I think these appartments complexes are necessary. (They're going to build 300 appartments for foreign workers in my area, so I know it's possible!) I think we should make it attractive for workers to work abroad aswell, instead of expecting them to arrange everything on their own in a country where they can't even speak the language, which probably is the biggest obstacle for a lot of people who would consider working abroad. I know some of us are smarter than others, but you can't possibly expect people to study every European language first?

News / International Political Parties (Poland and EU) [14]

I'm not sure what you mean!

I'll explain.

But why should the polish green party for example be active in Germany or the german green party in Poland???

Let me give you an example; A German party in Berlin wants Polish workers to fill the vacancies. A Polish party in Kraków wants German workers. Today, these two parties do not know what the other party is doing locally, simply because they don't communicate on that level. (Do you know about the twin town concept?) Each town should have a twin town they can deal with. The government doesn't have to intervene with these dealings, but they can still oversee the whole picture.

If the Polish and German parties would team up, if they would become one party, and perhaps even exhange some personnel, they may know that Berlin needs 3000 Polish workers, and that Kraków needs 3000 German workers. (There are jobless people in Germany aswell, no?) That way, they can inform themselves properly, and even exchange personnel without flooding eachother's markets, and request the kind of personnel they really need, instead of what's happening now, with all these free-lancing agencies, because nobody honestly knows who's working where anymore! Just look at all these articles about immigration, and you'll see that even the newspapers have to guess and estimate how many immigrant workers they have in their countries, because no one really knows the exact figures.

So that's what I mean with regulated immigration and communication/co-operation on a local scale. Healthier for everyone. Local political parties have access to files, know who's jobless and who isn't. The governments only check up annually..

Local parties should get involved with people frequently. It might seem like a lot of work, but it only takes a few persons extra in the office, and if they do what they're supposed to do, then we will see a dramatic change in the unemployment rates everywhere. Better for everyone, right or left.

The European parliament is like the parliaments in the the member states...hence similiar alliances are being made...lefties against righties etc.

Yes, and what exactly are they doing to become effective on a local scale? Nothing. Nada. Just because you're bickering in Brussels doesn't mean you're actually helping anyone. Alright, you might change a few rules, and change a few rights, but I'm afraid that's all they're doing in Brussels. We need local job offices with registered people instead of all these free-lancing agencies working behind eachother's backs, and proper communication between local parties.

You don't need to invent the wheel again! ;)

I'm not talking about a wheel. I'm talking about a racing car. We need to do something to make our system run faster, and the only way how we could achieve this, is to co-operate locally.

:)

When you harbor socialist ideals then you have a party for that already too:

I harbour all kinds of ideals. I'm all for practical solutions. Some of my vieuws would be left, and some of my vieuws would be right, and a few ideas I have may seem a bit radical at first, but I can assure you that no one will come to harm. What we need to do is make people co-operate, instead of working individually. This means the agencies I was talking about earlier don't necessarily have to be shut down, but that they should melt into one big job office, and simply change their activities. So we don't have to re-invent the wheel at all, we only have to sing a different tune. I could probably explain it better, but I'm sure you get the idea?

I'll attempt to explain it in my 'ideal' scenario.

I would like to see job offices with registered people (Qualification, marital status, age, gender, along with the motivation to work abroad yes or no.) I would like these job offices to communicate with other job offices. (Phone, internet, etc!) I would like to see complexes with affordable appartments for temporary foreign workers everywhere, so that they won't flood the housing market all at once. (We already have a few 'Polish villages' in Holland so I'm sure this whole concept isn't too new, or too strange for certain people.) These people could later decide if they want to stay in the new country yes or no, and move into a house of their choice once they obtained a contract. (Perhaps a small school in these complexes will help to teach them the language of the country they're in, only for those people who consider staying.) This way, you can regulate everything from A to Z, and exchange people and work in a fair and honest way, without exploiting anyone, without flooding eachother's markets through rogue agencies and anomymous immigrants.

If we would interact locally, we could make such changes happen, and probably fix the whole unemployment issue, probably halt crime rates, and ofcourse this will generate quite a lot office jobs aswell! (Good for teachers aswell!) Bad plan? Good plan? Any suggestions? Ideas? I myself wouldn't mind working abroad for a while and experience something new, if only the chances of actually getting somewhere were fair enough. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the whole plan in Brussels to create one Europe for Europeans? So why not communicate and interact more intensively I wonder?

:)

Interesting side note: To build these kind of complexes, you'll need construction workers and architects. (Which also means more jobs for the local population.)
