News / Brown's 'Bigotgate' and the debate about Poles [63]

read somewhere that there are 2 million poles in London alone. Is that true?

No it is not, not even in the whole country.

Then why are they making coffees for a living? All firms want cheap labour, if the Poles were better educated, firms would snap them up.

But they do, have you heard about the numbers employed in the NHS for instance, they prefer to recruit form other countries than train their own. That is why there was a huge demonstration some 2 years ago. There was a guardian article about a Polish GP who is payed to fly to Scotland to treat patients over weekends.

People shouldn't blame the Poles, they should fix their immigration system. And would they really prefer anybody else instead of the poles?

Besides under the current Australian points based system, my understanding is that they only allow immigration to people with skills, something that should have been in place ages ago. If everyone is so angry about the current system why do they continually vote Labour?- for people who in any other country would be digging ditches not representing people in parliament.

UK, Ireland / Let's discuss Polish and British, only constructive (though we will digress) [60]

For as long as the Polish (or anyone from another country for that matter) can come here for purely economic reasons and end up better off from "The System" than many British people, it will never work.

That is not the reason, the reason why they won't work is because they are effin LAZY, and the system is is to generous. what is more they have a fifth column in their own country that is determined to belittle all its achievements and drag the whole country down, it is called the Labour Party.

ill educated Eastern Europeans..

Like i just pointed out they are more educated than the natives.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [639]

Never from Scotland. The only country in Europe to never at any point in history have any anti-semitic law or decree.

Probably because there weren't to many Jews in Scotland to begin with, they were more concerned with clan prejudice than antisemitism. Though come to think of it, you are wrong, considering that Scotland was part of the UK when the Jews were forbidden from standing for the British parliament. This changed sometime in the 19th century, whith the help of dome passionate oratory by a certain Benjamin Disraeli.

take a white polish to asia, he will look like an asian after a century or two even if he marries to a polish female.

That is got to be one of the most idiotic things i have ever heard, why Don't Australians look like aboriginals or white South Africans turn black.

it is just so tragically stupid, ha ha ha.

I don't mean to be offensive by the way.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [639]

If you mean the pre-war Poland then read this, a good discription of that time:

Thanks for the info, but i already know all of that, I am referring to the university quota system for instance.

I am wondering though, this is from a row concerning my dad in the Australian Medical Journal with a distinguished Jewish gentleman relating to his life story as a doctor. In his life story he mentions that his Dad was denied employed in a Polish hospital in Tarnopol, I am assuming a government one because he was Jewish, and according to his article Jews were denied employed in Polish government run hospitals. What is your view on this?

Anyway my dad did a little research and he noticed a lot of doctors in Tarnopol hospital with what he thinks are Jewish sounding names. More interestingly though he looked at the registry records of doctors who were registered in Poland to practice medicine and he did not find the surname of the gentleman concerned, so he did not appear to be registered.

I believe he studied in Vienna, not in Poland. I wonder what would other perspectives be on this.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [105]

Honestly? Indeed, I don't like Poland, Poles, Polish gov, I cannot understand Polish history, culture, philosophy; simply, there is no ground for proud in it, from my point of view. But, but, I can let you live, I cannot admit you perish in ovens of crematoriums. Is it a Nazi style?

It is only understandable, coming from a country with no concepts of liberty, freedom of the individual and the rule of law, that you should dislike or misunderstand a country that espouses these values. It must be a real drag, because when you look at world history Poland has been by and Large on the side of civilization, Russia on the on the other hand on the opposite side of Poland.

As G.K Chesterton said: I judged the Poles by their enemies. And I found it was an almost unfailing truth that their enemies were the enemies of magnanimity and manhood. If a man loved slavery, if he loved usury, if he loved terrorism and all the trampled mire of materialistic politics, I have always found that he added to these affections the passion of a hatred of Poland. She could be judged in the light of that hatred; and the judgment has proved to be right."

Russia is a prime example of what Mr. Chesterton was on about

The confederation of Bar happened today in 1791. Short lived and bittersweet, it was none the less a huge leap for European democracy.

Love / How to show a polish Guy I like him [56]

but I just want to tell him that i have feelings for him, but i don't want to sound wired and desperate.

Show some initiative, most girls assume that guys should take the Lead. Times have changed, so just be straight with him, and tell him how you feel and see what his reaction is, perhaps he feels that you are in a position of strength and feel inhibited.

natasia

disregard the advice from the person mentioned.

Remember don't apologize for your feelings because you are only apologizing for the truth-as Benjamin Disraeli said.

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]

hen the Tatars raped and pilaged their way through Poland, children were conceived. These children were raised as Polish. Many Poles have a bit of Asian blood in them.

Again the invasion force was only 10.000 strong and only concentrated in the south of Poland, so it is highly unlikely that they could have left any significant imprint on the population.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [105]

Who is mister Chesterton? Is he the living or dead Prophet or Karl Marx or may be he is infalliable pope? Why we should take all this crap about suffering but undefeated poland in all good faith?

Neither of these: Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 - 14 June 1936) was an English writer. His prolific and diverse output included philosophy, ontology, poetry, play writing, journalism, public lecturing and debating, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction.

Above all these he was a man with a strong Christian conscience, that is why he abhorred Bolshevik barbarity and atheism and liked Poland.

Life / What's wrong with you, Polish people - is it an inferiority complex? [123]

oure still using the same infrastructure. Look at what once was Breslau(Wroclaw)

Boy you are not to bright are you? would that be the same infrastructure that the Germans destroyed when retreating in the face of the Russian assault? And if any of it happned to survive, it was destroyed by the Russians. the City that was once called Breslau and now is called Wroclaw (you should get use to the fact by now) was rebuilt by the Poles.

News / Zloty exchange rates - is this just speculation? [87]

The ECB or whoever from Brussels should investigate the Polish economy and not just take it on face value what the Poles are telling them. Polands deficit is double to what they are claiming.
Should be more like 12 zloty to the pound. lol.

What complete bull crap, unlike the Greeks, Brits and others the Poles are far more fiscaly disciplined.

So in effect the exchange rate could go either way - but I have also heard that the Polish economy is not as good as the Polish government says it is.....

you have heard wrong, the opposite is in fact the case!

Like I said.... someone should investigate.

I travel around Europe and can not get my head around what the Poles are claiming.
Quite frankly I think someones telling " porky pies ", ( lies ).

On the time I spend in Poland, I would like to add that the country still lacks the efficiency of western society.

GREECE ? ACT BEFORE IT,S TOO LATE !!!

Please why don't you try to hide it a bit, the inferiority complex is eating you alive! Your whole world view shattered, what a shame, get use to it.

Can you give me better answers. Will this hurt Poland in the long run or what? I don't want my poor Poland to go down.

Calm down it will take Poland at least until 2014-2015 before they join the Euro, when all this instability will blow over.

News / Jarosław Kaczyński sharing his words with Russians! [57]

I never ever met hostility. The Germans let sleeping dogs lie in general terms, an admirable quality that some Poles would do well to copy.

Why would they? they sowed the wind and they reaped the whirlwind. you fight by the sword you die by the sword, what comes around goes around etc.

It would be a really perverted and warped mind, that would imagine that somehow it is entitled to do whatever it pleases, but somehow others are not, that instead they should fight with one hand tied behind their back. Seriously get real, they had no sense of grievance, because there was no grievance to be had.

News / Jarosław Kaczyński sharing his words with Russians! [57]

Oh boy are you wrong!
With such a state of mind there will never be any reconciliation nor closure...but as the process of the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche showed the majority wants and sees it differently.

O come on BB. i know you really agree with me on this one. how can you fight an enemy that fights a total war? War cannot be won by the only side that sticks to the rules. Winning the war, is the first, second and last priority. What was the alternative the, sacrificing of a greater number of foot soldiers for some abstract unrealistic ideal?

in personal life, it is no use a gentleman trying to out do a cad, if they have different views of the world and ways of doing things. You have use language others understand in whatever capacity that might be.

As so often in these things the innocent suffer, but think about it would you prefer your own innocent to suffer more than the enemies? Just because you hold some quaint notions, how would you explain that to the public at home?

If you think about it its only common sense.

So why did the British apologise then, if there was nothing to apologise for?

Because they had and still do have the most idiotically moronic government in modern British history in the form of the Labour Party.

A party that seeks to apologize for the Irish potato famine, a biological event, on the one hand. And not for the invasion of Iraq on a lie on the other.

I could go on and on and on. So please spare me.

The Milliband thing has been in the pipeline for a long time.

Not sure if I agree with your analysis, remember the eighties? The longest suicide note in history? You will probably see some of the Labour dinosaurs dragging the party to the left, after all the center ground is occupied by the Lib Dems and Conservatives. Somebody like Balls is way to ambitious to leave Miliband alone, and lets not forget Balls' wife.
