Life / Political correctness in Poland [210]

The problem with PC is it starts with silly word games but leads to very real policy shifts which create further problems. In this case, for their not wanting to hurt school children's feelings, they are dumbing-down the education process. But the kids will come out feeling better about their less educated selves. :s

Misguided, feel-good Liberalism always, always, always leads to harmful unforeseen consequences worse than the problem they were trying to address.

Off-Topic / American Girl with A Polish Heart [29]

This may be true but why should she do that? The girl is just trying to embrace her heritage. Let her do that, explore and celebrate it, before mucking into all the other...

That's so sweet.

Stick with this. ;)

Work / Salary, holidays - questions to employer during a job interview in Poland [47]

I have noticed during my job interviews in Poland they always ask me about my expectation of salary.SHouldn't be like they tell u how much is the salary and u'll say if u're agree or not ??I never know which kind of answer I have to give to this question !!

It's the same way over here. Sometimes companies have a salary in mind but hope to get peeps for cheaper. So they ask hoping that the applicant will shoot lower than their number.

But often times, unless it's a big company with its own HR department that hires all the time and is aware of what the industry standard is paying, sometimes smaller companies really don't know what a position is worth or what their competitors are paying for a similar job. So they really are asking you how much they should pay for the position, or how much they would have to pay you to take the job.

You should always know going in how much you have in mind, so just shoot a little higher than that.
And if the interview is concluding and still no one has brought up salary, it is fine to inquire as to what the position pays. Some peeps are afraid to ask this but it's ok to.

Just e few.

In summer the Cape May Polish population grows as many kids come from Poland to work for the summer.

It is not happening anymore.

Really? Why not? I'll have to take a look around when I get back down there soon.

some of them were giving Poles here a very bad opinion.

Really? I never saw any of that. Maybe that was just a couple bad ones or just one grumpy pizza shop owner?
All the Poles I ever knew that worked down there were good peeps and hard working. The only problem I ever heard about was some of the locals resenting them because the Poles worked circles around them and made them look bad.

A few bad apples is all it takes.

Yeah, but you can bet they're still not as bad as other minorities. They don't make the news. We never see them rioting or mugging or shooting people...

I am in Ocean City MD,Polish students used to coming here in large number

Maybe the Polish employment service shut down? I've seen a number of Scottish and Russians in CM too.

No,it is simply not worth it if you want to make some money.

I actually discussed just this with a Polish girl I knew who was working here one summer. And she said the same but explained that the summer job situation in Poland was much worse, as were wages, so it made coming here worth it. Plus she'd buy things cheaper here to take back home. Maybe things have changed as this was several years ago now.

Yes, the things has changed.It used to be worth but it's not anymore.

Maybe our economy and job market was the problem that changed things.
This is about when I knew the Poles in CM, before the recession crashed:

I didn't meet any Polish student here over the last 2 years and in 2006 and 2007 I knew plenty.

Every Polish student I knew here in OC when got in trouble was saying that he is Russian or Ukrainian.

What was the exchange rate before that? And the summer jobs market in Poland must have improved because no matter the exchange, a job in the US is still better than no job in Poland.

Life / Homosexuality in Polish Culture [231]

LGBT people are not 'striving for acceptance'. We are striving to be ignored

Hardly. Always announcing their homoism... in-your-face lewd parades... endless activism... Hardly sounds like they want to be ignored.

The real gay people I know are friendly, helpful and discrete about their sex-lives.

Me too. But it's the offensive ones I described that seem to serve as their spokespeople. The decent ones hate the militant ones as much as everyone else does.

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]

The Hilter movement was a runoff of a 19th century Left-wing Marxist Socialist anti-Christian Greenpeace movement!

But we should not forget how much the feminism movement did for women rights.

That doesn't make it right.

Without them, it's back to the burkha

OMG. Nah, not shrill at all...

without the parades, ...., it's back to ruined lives and jail sentences

Again.

homosexuality is natural

No.

If some people are offended by public displays of affection it is their complexes and hang-ups.

Only in Crazy Backwards Gay Liberal World are the normal people the ones with the problem.

intelligent liberal people

Lol.

Jonny is a militant, shove-it-in-everyone's-face parader fer sure.

So what exactly do you know about homosexiuality

I know that it is a mental illness that they try to pass off as perfectly normal and force others to accept this warped view, all to make themselves feel better about their defective selves. Being a mental illness, gay is something to pity. But all pity goes out the window when one of the sick peeps goes all angry militant about it. They hurt their cause far more than they help it. But ya can't explain this to the mentally ill.

You pretend you think it is.

Experts disagree.

Experts lie. They changed the designation not based on any science but on social sympathy.

do you know about homosexuality in Polish culture?

I know that it is a mental illness the world over.

You're entitled to your views, however weird.

Back attcha. I'm not the one with the mental illness.

you don't know anything about the topic of this thread. Buzz off and stop trolling.

You keep trying to use this not for any reason but in attempt to silence me. If I was saying things you wanted to hear you certainly wouldn't be trying this, now wouldja. Liberal tyranny; silence all opposing views.

You're like a gay Nazi. You would have my kind exterminated if you could, if that's what it took in order to advance your cause. Such hatred is hardly worthy of sympathy and is borne of self hatred.

you can disapprove homosexuality on the same basis, on which you can disapprove rain, snow, or gravity. It simply exists. No amount of your disapproval will change that.

No one is denying it exists. It exists as surely as cancer, AIDS or other mental illnesses exist.

Are you saying that homosexuality does not exist, only homosexual behavior? That's kinda retarded. That would mean that all humans are heterosexual and some of those heterosexuals exhibit exclusively homosexual behavior, right?

More or less.

homosexual identity. A culturally rich and important part of the nation.

Lol. No. Just no. No matter how many times you say it.

That's kinda retarded.

What have you been smoking?

Gays are so nasty. Btw, it's not PC these days to call someone a retard.

A subject that you have demonstrated time and time again that you know an awful lot about.

Once again the gay activist is ready with the implication that critics are themselves gay. Using gay as a slur, as an insult, in this way is hypocritically despicable. Or, perhaps the accuser truly suspects his accusee is a closeted gay. In which case, however unlikely, the jerk is merely attempting to publicly out a fellow homo. Which isn't very nice either.

Militant activists are despicable people.

'Equality parades are moving along like triumphant marches. That is not how discriminated people look. Homosexuals are not fighting for equal rights, they are after everything,'

So very true. It's not about rights. They want to be flamboyant and broadcast their perversion. Disgusting.

Life / Forged parking ticket received in Poland [33]

Yes the title is wrong, should have just read forged parking ticked?? not sure how that happened?

I do. No doubt a busybody mod was meddling where there was no need, added the word 'received' where it didn't belong...

the Police only have a photo of the ticket from the window. They do not have the original. Will this make a difference.

Sure sounds like it. It would matter here in the states anyway.
