UK, Ireland / Documentary on foreign and local workers in a town in England. [66]

I do feel solidarity for people who are being pushed aside in their own countries. Just imagine being unwanted by your own people.

So do I, I never argued otherwise. Just like in this piece where the false belief in lazy versus productive to hide the true reason behind it which is being cultivated in order to …. (Write your own story here), so are many others like a third world country subsidized by the very same unemployed Brit, German whatever. Yet no one ever mentions the fact that mainstay of our industry which provided good paying jobs for our people like steel mills, ship yards, mining etc., all were bought out for cheap by corporate world base in the old EU nations forced on us as part of restructuring in order to join the union and simply closed as to not to create competition to the ones already operating elsewhere or for some environmental concerns as part of the agreement to join EU, stay, whatever. On the other hand those jobs that were created by our ascension to EU were far less than those lost thus artificially creating job shortage and high unemployment to lower the labor cost in your own countries. All this exploitation and still we are being called as leaches by those who simply have no idea of the price Poland paid. Multiply this by so many new nations joining the union and you create chaos, for the same thing was happening in those countries. There are many Myths being created and reinforced in the minds of westerners by the press and it all seems to be slowly sinking in, in the view of general public judging by the opinions presented here on this forum not necessarily on this subject by most of the members here. No independent thought whatsoever except by few, just your basic run of the mill repeat of catchy one line phrases taken out of the magazines that appeal to the masses. The point is; the resentment grows on both sides of the equation fuelled by the media even if on the surface it seems as positive to the newcomer or in his defense and what’s viewed as PC today.

Not getting work in their own country is a reality and they have to make a living somehow.

Exactly! This report which is pretending to show the reality of labor market is biased on many levels, not only it’s unfair and demeaning to the British laborer looking for a job but immigrant labor as well. In reality all it does it pits one against the other and reinforces the popular belief of lazy verses productive. This fact by itself should raise a red flag for the viewer. Only one sentence in the entire piece had mention the fact that many of those immigrant laborers are well educated, yet no one even attempted to explained why they take on the low paying jobs and push the local unskilled labor out of the job market. This entire piece never raises the question of what brings the foreign worker to Britain. It never even pretends to explain why the labor market is so bad in the other countries that they have to emigrate and take on sometimes even demeaning jobs, or why the labor laws do not protect the worker or if they are even enforced.

Its intention was never to explain the root cause of the changes in labor market around the world that took place in the recent years, heavily favoring the Big Business and corporate world and certainly not what's happening in Britain. Why were the laws relaxed? Why were they changed and why the existing ones are not enforced as shown in this discriminatory advertisement presented in DM article raised on the other thread here. It simply focused on one issue, how worthless the locals are which in turn breads resentment towards immigrant community. So it makes you wonder what purpose it serves. whose agenda is being promoted here? I’m afraid that an average viewer will never even consider raising those questions on his own, instead he will just take defensive posture; turn his anger at his greatest enemy as presented to him by the authors of this piece, (short of stating it themselves) his competitor, mission accomplished.

Whoever pays the piper calls the tune.

Good call. No doubt that there are many Brits given the chance and proper incentive in form of competitive wages that would do whatever it takes to make it. Bottom line is the profit for everyone involved, not some idealistic notion of providing fair compensation for the locals or considering the living cost and what would it take to raise the family in the area not to mention even playing field. Relaxing labor laws in the name of globalization is in elites interest, local politician can brag how he/she saved the jobs from moving out of the area, pretending to be in Joe the public interest, business saves money on labor costs and squeeze ever penny possible, everyone’s happy. There’s nothing wrong with making a profit as long as some kind of a balance is maintained between decent wage for the worker to maintain livable standard of living and corporate profit. We as a society have regressed in that respect, instead of working towards maintaining or improving that balance through our representatives in government we let it deteriorate. The reasons for that sad state of affairs are too numerous to get into now, ranging from geopolitical changes to corporate greed and corruption. Bottom line is that they succeeded in creating resentment towards each other among the two groups that in reality are being exploded, effectively blaming each other for the circumstances they find themselves in. As long as that resentment and blame can be maintained it’s a win, win situation for them. Interesting piece about the labor market but…..

UK, Ireland / No job unless you're Polish [201]

As far as I can tell, this company is happy with Polish workers and wants more of them so it offers training in Polish and does not seek out other nationalities very much. Demand, meet supply.

I wouldn’t be so sure. They simply found another way to save the cost thus maximize their profit in form of relocation costs. Why spend money on that when you can relax the labor laws and guarantee that potential worker will come to work for you at his own expense for a lot less than a local. Who knows in 2-4 years it might be the Zimbabwean that is lot more profitable for them than a Pole and your theory of hard working Pole shut to hell. It’s all about profits.

Demand, meet supply, spot on.

UK, Ireland / No job unless you're Polish [201]

As tempting as it is to have a bit of fun with this one I just can’t. Seriously there’s something wrong with this picture and no one seem to put a finger on it. Big Business gets a free pass on their tactics to maximize their profits with the help of few chosen ones in politics. They have been brainwashing Joe the voter with that PC crap and catchy one line slogans for years now. Those resilient to conform are branded as bigots, racists, anti-Semite, what have you for revealing a shred of truth. To be honest, changing the ruling party won’t help, it’s guaranteed that their agenda will remain unchanged with the backing of their cronies in whatever party they might be. That has been a trend for the pest 20 or so odd years in politics of whatever country, not just EU. Sometimes it makes you wonder if people like RevokeNice are not paid to deflect the blame thus ensuring that people won’t demand their rights and fair treatment; or worst their anger, where they should - at the source. Face it we are all played like a fiddle, who knows if they play their cards right they might even solve the population problem in near future by turning each and every one of you against each other. Adopting a Chinese model would just not be PC correct LOL.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

SHT - I am so glad you are not French because if you were you'd have died of a heart attack long time ago if silly jokes bother you so much.

That’s where you’re wrong; I appreciate a good joke just the same, so here’s couple more silly jokes for you.

How do you know jews are living nextdoor?
There's wet toilet paper on the clothesline.

What’s the difference between a Jew and a Canoe?
Canoe tips.

How was copper wire invented?
2 Jews fighting over penny.

Why did the Jews walk around the desert for 40 years?
They heard that someone dropped a quarter.

What happens when a Jew with an erection walks into a wall?
He breaks his nose.

Your vicious Jew hate is just sad

I disagree, I call it humor. Small prick, big nose, greed = funny. When it’s about French, Pole etc., that’s humor to you, when it’s about a Jew on the other hand that’s hate. You proved my point, stop before you make a complete as* of yourself. Need I say more on the subject?

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

Those jokes started looong before WWII and had nothing to do with Jews.

Perhaps you are correct, jews no longer spread Polak jokes, they are just being outright liars, obnoxious and willing to use any trick up their sleeve to demean Poles without even trying to be funny. Here's a recent example of such great jewish journalist in reputable Wall Street Journal article about Poles. My bad, that's East cost publication, no wonder it's so hard for you to find it on the West coast. What If They Gave Medals for Losing? Yup nominate the Poles, somehow omitting the Israelis who didn't even have one medal in this Olympics great reporting there. Fair, balanced and funnnnnnnny.

This has nothing to do with having a 'thin skin'. It's all about respecting certain boundaries, which is the basis of human interaction.

Agree, I guess I'll stat respecting you the same way.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

A harmless joke about the humourless Germans, the stupid Poles, the tight-fisted Scots is nothing compared to the above.

Perhaps you haven’t come in contact with a Yankee version of Polak jokes, or perhaps you don’t want to admit to it now since you all think that they just should be ignored. Now I posted those to make a point and as an example illustrating that stereotype is nothing to laugh at, the more shock value the better to illustrate that point. In 21 century, and with supposedly well traveled and educated people there is no place for jokes like that be it about Jews or Poles or Scots period. Yet you are willing to laugh at one and condemn the other, Hypocrisy!

What's the difference between the destruction of Warsaw and a Polack? The first one was clever.

Well then, I have one for you too TheOther.

What did the little German boy get for his birthday?
Easy bake oven and a G.I Jew.

Funny? Or

What's the difference between a jew and a vampire?
One is a blood sucking vampire, and the other has wings.

Why combat them? Why not have a laugh and laugh them off?

Watch for reaction to these.

Life / Giving tips in Poland [235]

Maybe you can trade in your envy for some cash?

No need, I chose to spend my time and money where I earn them. You on the other hand chose to live where your money goes much further then back home yet still manage to whine how expensive everything is. So you see, being born in a wealthy country does not mean you have it and pretending like you have it proves one thing to me, that you are envious of your own countryman and had to go abroad to get that worm fuzzy feeling inside, didn’t you.

This trend is all over not just Poland so shove your anti American nonsense up your arse :)

Then why the f*** you complain about the price of drinks in Poland? when by your own admission same thing is going on in US. Get over yourself; no one will treat you special just because you are a Yank nor can you expect to have good time for free or at the cost, they have to make their money somehow, you on the other hand don't have to spend it there if you're that cheap.

I don’t know if you noticed it but the mighty dollar has fallen mightily, so perhaps it’s not that you are being taken advantage of as a Yank in Poland but your green back does not go as far these days, even in places like Poland. Poor, poor yank, there’s no place left on earth for gringos to have their fun, and where the drinks won't cost them an arm and a leg.

Proves my point, you go out, you want to have good time yet you don’t want to spend any money. Business is business, you always have a choice to sit home alone if you feel you are being ripped off, if you want a good time on the other hand you do have to pay for it, no matter where you live. So no need to b**** about it.

They also serve over priced watered down drinks so it's not like you are getting a good deal.

Is that common business practice in US? Sounds like you speak from experience. While Yanks wouldn’t even blink and would have been more than happy to pay for those drinks, Poles would have noticed, we know our vodka.

What is it with expats and people of long ago Polish decent being more nationalistic that real Poles?

This kind if stuff affects them directly in US, no surprise there. Besides those jokes are to compensate for average yanks own short coming and what the rest of the world really think of the him, not too bright now, is he? Projecting their own image onto others, hoping it catches on. There’s nothing abnormal about it or nationalistic that the Poles in Poland don’t pick on you for that. It just wouldn’t be fair to pick on someone who is disadvantaged in the first place. Besides one is suppose to take care of special needs child.

Off-Topic / ANYONE HEAR A STRANGE NOISE IN WARSAW....? [45]

The loud whooshing noises are the whispers of wildrover’s Oscar nomination for the movie he was in, what was it called again? High pitched squeak was his burst of excitement when he learned of the news, which by the way woke him up from his dream, a thud was his disappointment when he realized it’s just the dream and lots of bubbling noises that’s just him falling asleep again, echoes of which were heard as far away as Australia as reported by PF members.

UK, Ireland / Are polish girls in the UK cheap (to hire?) [35]

I even half knew one guy who was a pimp (he frequented a pup we did and liked to chat) and his "cheap" girls (who often came with him) were nasty. He said the super pretty ones were 2000 or more and that those flyers they put on cars and parking meters are just models they buy photos from.

In your dreams beelzebub, you never lived in Poland yet still have wet dreams about it. Even in your wet dreams you can’t afford super pretty ones. How sad is that? How desperate do you have to be to inquire about price for a nasty chick from a pimp in your own dream? On a more serious note it’s nice to see that even his "cheap" girls are doable in your fantasies. Now your wet dream is over and you still haven’t scored.

Why trouble yourself to write a half a page essay when an average American reader won’t get it? Simply put, American media particularly the one owned and operated by American Jews is responsible for publishing and promoting Polish Jokes starting in the 60’s reaching its apex in late 70’s and early through mid 80’s and continuing to do so today. Deliberately misrepresenting historical facts and misinforming American reader who does not know any better, with false statements like “Polish concentration camps” etc. etc. To be fair this could also be attributed to their own insecurity, ignorance and hatred.
