Classifieds / Asian community in Poland [113]

On this subject i think Poland should look nowhere else accept from the UK. The amount of people we have had come to our country of our size is astronomical. I feel personally that we are overcrowded and over populated and that there are thousands if not millions of people here who simply do not deserve or are needed here.

its ok having an immigration system and it may in the short term be a good thing for Poland to have an influx of workers. However with a lot of Poles leaving Poland you have to be careful that people don't sneak in the back door while your not at home :)

one of the things i love about Poland is that its stacked full of Polish people and is not over run to the extent of the UK with foreign migrants.

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

i wouldn't say that the Polish are miserable or unhappy all the time that would be silly. However i think that there is a certain amount of (over self defensiveness and paranoid) of course its not all Polish people that would be a stupid thing to say.

I am English and have never met a Brit who is so defensive or paranoid as i have the number of Polish that are.

As for smiling, a lot of Polish its fair to say are working in customer service (Coffee shops, Hotels, Fast food restaurants and any other job you care to mention.

My friend said to me 'well if you were working sreving coffee all day and not getting paid very much, would you be smiling, that isn't even taking into consideration the board factor' of dokng the same job again and again and again'

So i sympathise totally with those who don't smile all the time and are called 'miserable' etc. Surely it makes no sense to judge anybody let alone the Polish on their moods when they are working.

My friend looks dead board at work and not friendly at all but you get her out and about and she's wonderful to be with. Everybody has different moods in different situations

yes of course there are Brits that are defensive and paranoid its just i seemed to have met a large amount of Poles who are. maybe a better way to express it is that they are more conservative :)

t's just normal human nature.......

totally agree, its just this thread reminded me of the 'Polish conservatism' i have seen a lot of. I usually don't pick on nation and Poland probably isn't the only one. ow what the heck never mind :)

Lady in red

i totally agree about the media point, i am admittedly a victim of this as the media some what seemed to have changed my mind on immigration in the last week or so, i know its only scare tactics but there are some definite facts been laid down, what annoys me though is that people like the BNP use them for their racist views and when people like me speak up about having controlled/restricted immigration i get banded with the BNP when that is in fact not the case.

Not seen you around for some time.......has been quiet in here I think <g>

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

I am right and you are wrong.

i think you'll find were both right in our respected countries :)

criticizing a Polish girl's spelling

i was not criticising just explaining to her how to spell the word, i think you'll find i did it in a civil manner.

As for the bloody Serbian girl, I could not care two brass monkeys what you do

of course not, a self centred guy like you i wouldn't expect anything else

I would say the same to your face.

what a big man you are :) i would laugh straight back :)

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

That's not a nice thing to say to Torny, and I think if anyone said it to you , you would be complaining about it.......

so what does it mean?? i really don't mind, i would just rather it be explained

Generalise or generalize both are perfectly acceptable.

exactly what i just said to him :)

I'm surprised how racist Poles can be considering what has happened in their past history or though maybe thats part of the reason for it

UK, Ireland / What do you hate about England and English people? [142]

wow i've been away for two weeks and the first topic i read is 'why do you hate the Enlgish and England?' i mean really are you having a laugh :)

if somebody dosen't like England thats fair cop its their opinion but if somebody is living here and complaining then they can get back on the plane that brought them here!!! I'm all up for Jokes about the English and even complaints, however 'HATE about the English' is going a bit strong don't you think??
