Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

If you truly accept this statement, then why continue to endlessly bash the Polish?
My advice would be to stop reading the papers and go out and meet some Poles in the UK for yourself. And come to Poland for a holiday.

Then, when you have some real life experience, give your verdict...
What say you? Sounds fair?

Lenka, you don't sound like a looney. Wise words indeed.
People are people, nationality is irrelevant. People should be judged by their character and their actions, not for their passport...
Ok, I've had too much to drink... :D I need to go clubbing soon:D

ShawnH I agree with you 99%. Just remember not all teachers teach 'Engrish'. Don't go hating all teachers...
Also, America is not a real country in England's eyes;) It's a step down for us... Australia would be a better example:P

And lastly, 'Ireland' isn't British;)

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]


The poster UFO973 made the comparison between the two countries but deliberately misled the forum over salaries to make Poland look poorer than Afghan, lol:D


As Lenka said, It's still a country with real people who have feelings and dreams. As is Poland.
The real wealth of Poland is it's traditions, culture, cuisine and it's people, not some illusionary dollar value... In that respect, Poland will never be poor.

Are you going then? No? Me neither.
In what way is Poland not 'truly independent'? Tusk was elected under a democracy. Was he not?

What the hell has that got to do with this thread?
We are supposed to be talking about Polish people and Poland...
In response I would say that the figures given suggest another 270,000 immigrants over a two-year period. That's barely a flood... About the same amount of Britains emigrate every year...

Why would you even think that I'm left wing?

Really? Japan has double the UK population but its land mass is only 50% bigger. UK has plenty of room yet:D
America has coped quite well with immigration, I mean how many native-Americans do you see these days?
As long as everybody works and contributes it's not a problem...

I am too. But he has been warned now. I think that this threads response has shown that people are getting very sick of him and hearing the same old sh*t everyday...


- because... your a clown? At least you have admitted being racist. Please feel free to join a racist forum then...

Solution = leave the EU. I'm talking about you, not the whole UK. The dregs of society have always been here. You are a prime example of this...

Most Poles work very hard. I know a guy who saved £14k in about 3-4 years. He's saving up for a house/flat back home. Try doing that on benefits...

I think that you're always going to be wrong. end of...

hudsonhicks. don't be making any more statements like you just did about Slavic cultures.That was a negative blanket statement.Last warning.Not up for debate,just don't make those kinds of statements.

Nice one:D TY P3:)

How long will Poles use communism and ww2 as an excuse?
Who is using that as an excuse?
You are using the past to deliberately insult Poles which is very sad, but very predictable.


Where the local ignorant xenophobic underclass give them sh*t for doing so.


The vast majority are very good ambassadors for their country. I don't know what crime 'Heath Tourism' is. Can you explain that one?


Our 'compensation culture'. Well, when in Rome... Besides it's not even ours. We stole it from the States about a decade ago...


I just googeld: Hudson Hicks is a c*nt and got: About 8,620,000 results (0.07 seconds) - So, what does that prove?
Most of which were about the Aliens film from where you have taken your username... the other links send us to PF...


More blanket statements? Surely you realise the same statement can be applied to yourself?


No. You need to face facts. Nobody cares about your opinions. Your Pole-bashing should be kept to your bedroom.

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

I have to go to work soon but I will give a better response later.
However, you are mearly comparing things like GDP and salaries. These are relative to expenditure.
If I pay 80% less in Poland for my rent and bills, if I pay 60-70% less in my daily expenditure (shopping, travel etc) then that makes a huge difference.

You don't need to earn the same money to live the same lifestyle here... Do you get it?
Comparing Poland to say Norway or Germany is rather ridiculous. Compare it to say Ukraine or Belarus and you'll have a much better comparison.

You cannot blame Poland for the sh*t that's happened to her during the last 70 years. Poland is definitely moving forward and will continue to grow strong.

If you don't like Poland you are welcome to go home...

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

Why? Lol:D You have lived here a lot longer than me. Surely you can work that one out for yourself...
I know that you are waiting for a huge property market crash and the frustration that it's not going to happen has probably clouded your judgement over economic issues...

News / Are Poles good enough for USA (to go there without a visa)? [288]


It will happen eventually. All the doors will come down one day:D
There are 38 million Poles who could probably earn a better salary just by walking across the German border and working there. No visa required:D

Money is not everything in life. You will learn that one day:P

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]


I am shocked! So I went straight to the online book of knowledge know as wikipedia to do some real scientific research:D I found this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Afghanistan

Afghanistan still remains one of the poorest and least developed countries in the worldthat is highly dependent on foreign aid. The nation's GDP stands at about $29 billion with an exchange rate of $18 billion, and the GDP per capita is about $1,000.[1]

About 35% of its population is unemployed and live below the poverty line, suffering from shortages of housing, clean drinking water, and electricity.

So, compared to somewhere like Afghanistan I don't think Poland is a poor country. Those salaries you quoted for Afghan are annual, those for Poland are monthly and probably nearer part-time than full time...

Life / If you are Polish abroad or of Polish descent, do you celebrate St. Nicholas day? [33]


No. I have never done so whilst living in the UK. Why? Because we celebrate Christmas on the 25th:D
However, when in Rome... I'll celebrate tomorrow with a few drinks:D Does that count?

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

Is Poland a poor country?
It's all relative. I imagine there are many third world countries who wouldn't see it that way.
Average salaries are of course lower than the EU average but it will get better.


I think he makes a ******* good point. TBH:D

News / Are Poles good enough for USA (to go there without a visa)? [288]

No VISA no problem:D Couldn't they just come over uninvited, kill millions of the native population, steal their land and claim the country for themselves? Oh, and then close the doors to other immigrants...

Isn't that the normal way of doing things? It worked once before:D:D:D

Love / How do I tell her how I feel? Working with a Polish woman. [24]

First of all you know nothing about me. You are just making assumptions.
You seem to think that women are just sex objects but I don't.
Well, good luck with your 'girl', make sure you follow her page on FB then you can find out the minute she finds a boyfriend;)


If I bump into her I'll give her your love;)

Love / How do I tell her how I feel? Working with a Polish woman. [24]

Hey mate I was just messing with you.


I do realise that some women are special. In fact, I think that they are all special in their own way.
If this girl was so special to you then you wouldn't brag about 'boning' other girls whilst having your staring competitions with this girl.

And FYI, I don't pray on drunk girls and never have done. But, I also don't spend 6 months 'staring' at girls who I like then come on an internet forum crying about it when she goes home.

For me that's a little bit sad. I hope you too realise this one day;) I hope for this girls' sake that you are not a stalker...

Love / I fear she will cheat on me! I love Polska and Zubruwka! [6]


No, I'm sorry I don't understand. What do you want from me?
If you don't trust your girlfriend then it doesn't say much about your relationship with her.
However


If there's no fun and no bed then what's the point?


This is very true. Your fears are not without foundation. Get in there first and buy her some vodka and hope it's you that she kisses:P

Love / How do I tell her how I feel? Working with a Polish woman. [24]


Are you two in love now? I thought you just had a crush on a colleague;)
Well if you go and she's not interested, just go to the nearest nightclub and I'm sure you'll find hundreds of more girls just like her:-)

Take lots of cash and some warm clothes;)
