UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]
equally do you agree the polish troublemakers are embarrassing and typically Polish?
its very simple laydeezee92, there are PEOPLE from ALL locations WORLDWIDE that are plain ignorant and WILL cause trouble. be they Irish, English or Polish.
and they are ALL embarrassing and typically HUMAN.
So please don't be so narrowminded and tar a nation with the actions of a few. As im certain you would not like us to do of your nation. Im quite tired of arguing against stereotypes and narrowminded statments - its points like that that continue to keep them alive rather than see the problem for what it truly is. Rather than so, oh thats so Polish/British/Russian/etc etc. Why not profer a solution to such a culture? limit of alcohol per person? increase responsibility to the bar for selling lethal doses to over the limit persons (off licenses too) etc etc. Stop whinging and jumping on the band wagon and try to help the situation perhaps.
I so agree with you! It's so embarrassing,and so typocally british!
Please dont smash the place up brits!

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]
it is not the majority of british abroad that are causing trouble
it is the well behaved, civil majority go unnoticed and an ignorant few are causing trouble.
i should like to point out that the poles themselves have people like this as it is. ive been in warsaw now two weeks and i assure you there are an EQUAL proportion (also ukrainans too ive noticed)
and in Wroclaw, plenty of local troublemakers and rather no british on the times of my visits.
So this topic should rather read, Warning to people in general - don't be p1ssheads.

History / Poland's January Uprisings of 1863 [86]
so were the irish successive rebellions and uprisings. you only need to succeed once :) (in theory)
Its all very well to attack it now - in hindsight.
but imagine you were there. you could no more stand by an injustice. no human could live like that. (a decent human that is)
all we can do, is use the lessons of the past and learn from them in the future. to learn from the errors and build on the successes
your the type of person that says 'the end of the world is today!'
you only need to be right once!
i saw again, re the uprising (as you seemed content to repeat yourself rather than discuss further points)
its all very well in hindsight - if they knew then what we know now, they may have done it differently (may - as its moot point)
The Warsaw Uprising was a continuation of the unfortunate tradition of unsuccessful Polish uprisings, which were cultivated in the 20th `century

Where did Poland place? I must admit I see much happier Polish (and foreigners in general to Ireland) in Ireland!

they hadnt any choice - thats how it is, america and russia are not overrun by opposing forces and feel they can get away without apologising...when they should (as germany should have and did, but i think the apology was sincere for the most part - as the americans and russian people who would LOVE there leaders to apologize!!
I know alot of americans who are ashamed of G W Bush for eg
I believe Germany apologized for almost everything.............

in the UK and IRE the Caucasian nose is rather 'petite' in nose terms on the whole.
generally true of the caucasian complexion in my experience
its down to genes in the end and noses of all sizes will exist :)
lets not forget the proverbial noses , nosey and stuck up noses, etc :)

so would i :)
the irish rebels were outnumbered by the British. They won. Im not rubbing it in your face. Just saying being outnumbered is not the excuse.
It can be plans they made were not as good, or the enemy had better plans etc. Being outnumbered is not the hinge the door swings on (if you get me there)
