UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [255]
I guess this is a positive in that Brits would be more naturally tolerant of foreigners speaking in different accents when having their own countryman doing likewise. Nevertheless it's an obvious fact of life that educated Brits by and large don't speak with a regional accent, and if the judgment and suspicion is to stop it is only common sense that they should strive towards a more homogeneous accent to overcome this problem. Furthermore Britain has to be one of a very few countries if not the only one, in which you can have a competent none English speaker, speak the language better than some of the locals. That is not exactly something to be proud of.
I never said that we Brits can understand each other any better than the foreigners can! Plenty of times I've been completely lost by something someone from my own country has said!

I am not sure if i agree, it is the main cuase of class tension, becuse those who can't speak properly sometimes have a major inferiority complex that is why the UK is still so divided by class. I can understnad subtle differences, but such huge diffrerences in a realtivley small geographical area are not good. The education system should be capable of eliminating these differences however, i fear the the PC culture in the UK is just to great.

You might not actually know this but very few Brits actually know how to speak their own language, you would have taught that with time the regional differences would disappear, but partly as a result of poor education policy this hasn't happened.

yes, there is nothing more endearing than expats getting together and ******** for HOURS about what a horrible people these Poles are.
[quote=beelzebub] Yet another example of the Polish knee jerk "blame someone else and deflect" tactic. It's inevitable. Can't you ever just say "yeah that's something we should work on" without saying "but"?]
As soon as they do that your ego grows tenfold, and you start telling everyone how they do it back home. And back home is not really doing all that well right now.
[quote=beelzebub] to illustrate the Polish trait of taking credit for something they didn't have anything to do with was a matter of coincidence that this all occurred while Poland was in this particular stage of it's economy. With the massive amounts of credit Poles live on]
Yes just like the American recession and abysmal economic performance is nothing more than a coincidence.
[quote=beelzebub] we ARE saying is that modern Polish culture has some huge changes it will have to undertake if it want's respect.]
That is coming from somebody from a nation whose idea of culture is a fat American in shorts getting up in the morning, and hoisting the flag on his or her front lawn. You can keep your respect to yourself, it takes culture to recognize culture.
[quote=beelzebub] the massive amounts of credit Poles live on]
what claptrap, have you forgotten from which country you come from.
[quote=beelzebub] Nobody is saying Polish genes are defective...]
And I suppose that is breaking it to them really gently.
Yes the Poles are a proud people, but they are better aware of their shortcomings than anybody else, so yes they might find it a bit personal coming from somebody who hasn't got a clue what they have been through pointing it out to them.
I can go on for hours with fellow expats about the "Polish way" and we often have each other in stitches because there is so much that is "different" in Poland and it's rarely "better".
If you want to be respected start acting in a way that deserves it.

I’ am not sure what you associate with qualified people, but hard work, discipline, reliability and intelligence are usually prerequisites to become one in the first place. I could live ten lives over and these fundamentals would never change. You must be living in some parallel universe on a planet called Bare Minimum.
You are obviously about 16 and have no experience of real life.
