UK, Ireland / Poland continues to milk Ireland dry. [129]

Read my opening post. Ireland is paying Poland 50 million, look at the sweetner they are giving Dell. Ironic really.

He he. Well that would not surprise me.

Myth. Tell me, who worked these jobs before mass immigration?

But that is just my point. As a country gets richer, there are very few of the local people around who are willing to take up the low paid low skilled jobs. That goes for cleaners, carers, factory workers etc.

lexi: I am all for multi-culuralism
Why?

Multi-culturalism is just another of those nice ideals that don't work in practice. Plus, it implies that the newcomers are all nice fellows who are willing to integrate and fit in into the new culture. Which is rarely the case.

Now, the equivalent of mass immigration from Poland into Ireland, would be nearly every Irish citizen emigrating to Poland.

Well, I'd agree the problem is not immigration but mass immigration, movements of people on a large scale. And the figures you quote make some sense.

Having said that, who is to blame for this except the Irish government? Other EU countries such as Germany put the EU directives on the free movement of labor on hold, because they were expecting Poles to move in in their millions. And that was of course not going to work.

There is always a need for immigrants because in industrialized countries some low skilled/paid jobs the locals just don't want to do. So the newcomers are doing the host country a good service. But in my opinion immigration is a blessing and does work only when it is very tightly controlled.

Dell left Ireland and relocated to Poland.

This is really hypocritical. Why on earth do so many large corporations have their European headquarters in Ireland? Isn't that simply because of Ireland's low taxation and government incentives?

If Ireland have been implementing and promoting unfair competition towards the rest of Europe, it should not be the one to complain if now another country, Poland, is just does exactly the same.

Love / Polish Girls negative or positive personality trait? [267]

negative: compulsive lying. I think they learn it from environment. Her so-called male "friends" may not be friends. Perhaps something to do with general national attitute, or Jesus messes up with their minds.

Sadly I agree with what you say 100%. From my experience compulsive lying among Polish girls is not the exception but the norm.

To me it must come down to religion, and most young people going to sunday mass. I mean, how can one pretend to believe in the virgin mary, the invisible man in the sky all that bllshite with a straight face?

In the dark ages it probably make a little sense, but in this day and age that is the mother of all lies.

Is this a case of disguised identity?

What you are saying sounds just like what I have head 100 of times from Polish girls. And yet each of them failed to prove Alex point wrong: that in many ways THEY ARE "all the same".

If you are real, then I would call that the new foreign guy in town syndrome. You are getting some little success with Polish girls that is a big improvement from what you had back home.

I went through that myself. Very nice, but at the same time short lasting. The follow up phase, is unfortunately a little more cynical.

You will see...
