News / 10,000 ISRAELIS READY TO CLAIM FOR POLISH CITIZENSHIP AND POLISH LAND! [628]


Strange people, innit? Just as strange as some people living in Israel and still complaining about the anti-semitic Poles. Poles are non existent in Israel, so what’s their problem? :)

News / 10,000 ISRAELIS READY TO CLAIM FOR POLISH CITIZENSHIP AND POLISH LAND! [628]


I wasn't thinking about you. I'm saying something factual: There are many Jews who hate Poles even though Poles are virtually non-existent in their lifes. :)

As for anti-semitism in Poland, I think you should hear the voice of the main rabbi of Poland, Michael Schudrich, who said:

"Rozpowszechnione na świecie stereotypy są całkowicie nieprawdziwe. Kraje kojarzone z antysemityzmem, czyli niestety również Polska, w rzeczywistości wcale takie nie są. Antysemickie zachowania występują natomiast na liberalnym, wolnym Zachodzie."

"[Those] distributed stereotypes are totally untrue. Countries that are associated with anti-semitism, which unfortunately includes also Poland, are not anti-semite in reality. Whereas anti-semitic behaviors are present in liberal, free west."

Taking under consideration the fact that he actually lives in Poland he surely knows what he is saying, innit?

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

The "shape" of a national cuisine is determined by the environment you live in. Try to feed an Eskimo only with Mediterranean food and vice versa, an Mediterranean with pure lard. The latter will probably die on heart attack and the Eskimo will fall on his face in no time, because the lack of required energy. Polish and English cuisine are the way they were meant to be.

Seansus, try Żywe Beer or Fortuna. My two favourite Polish beers.

You should have no problems with finding them in your local piotr i paweł super market. If you like to experiment try also Koźlak, Książęce, Kasztelan or Frater.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

Certainly. It seems that you are in luck. There is only one Piotr i Paweł in Silesia and it is in Katowice on ul. Bażantów 2.


Yeah, it is sweet. It's a pity you didnt like it. I actually thought I could impress you with that beer, but I guess not. :)

What I meant was 2 Bażantów Street. In Katowice of course.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]


It depends what classification you apply. If purely geographical position than Poland is as much central as Germany is. If you apply the post WWII division, than Poland is Eastern Europe together with half of Germany I'm afraid. :)

The term Eastern Europe is the legacy after Cold War and is pejorative. Somebody realized it in the west and I see that the EE countries are more and more often being called New Europe. (Ya old mugs! ;) ) Personally I don't mind the term EE. I think that there is a huge potential in this part of the world and with time this term would redeem itself but then again the way that you and noimmigration defend yourself from the sheer thought that Poland could be called Central European country makes me think...

noimmigration

you seem to claim that Polish culture is very different to the western one. Considering that the western Europe consists of Portugal as well as Wales I would like you to elaborate more on that. I'm looking forward to hearing from you especially about Polish literature and art. Might be quite an interesting read.

It's all good Z. :) It's been ages since I've been to Deja Vu. I drink my Fortuna in my local "commie" tavern. :))

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]


Why is there so much fuss about it?

Maybe, just maybe because the commie period lasted for over 40 years while the whole history of Poland is over 1000 years old.

But it's just a guess. :)

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]


Being a member of EU creates opportunities, and it is only up to the individual to make a good use of them. Obviously, as with everything, there are also downsides of the whole situation but makig it sound as if Poles are the only ones benefiting from this transaction and are not affected by any negtive aspects of the influx of Polish nationals to the Uk is plain wrong. The so called "brain drain", loosing the young generation who work for your pension and not mine, people with higher education which was paid, inter alia, from my taxes and not yours. I really pity the poor brits that have it hard. But it's really not true that the poor pole has it any better in life. The really poor Pole is stuck with Poland for good and bad. Not all of us can afford to leave everything behind and go to the UK. Only the not so really poor, adventorous and desperate ones make that step. The rest 36 milions is still here. :)

Oh and don't tell me that there are none brtish people that made some money out of this influx. Surely not all land lords, employers, shop owners, ect are foreign, right? :0

I’m sure that me giving a speech about the importance of being competitive in today’s global market to him would make the same effect as trying to explain to my aunt that now she will have to make four times the way she used to go to her local hospital, as the one near her was closed because of the lack of staff who emigrated to the west.

I know that it’s easy to say to that average brit that he should be more competitive and that it is how the free market works when the case doesn’t concern me personally but, as banal as it may sound, it’s just the way the world spins. Not much I can really do about it aside for feeling for him. The worst thing is that you really don’t have to have an influx of foreign workers to your country to lose your job being working class. The case of Nokia relocating it’s plant to Romany due to cheaper costs of production (2 300 German workers jobs at stake) is the best example for that.


What exactly do you mean by big business. A pub owner employing polish bartenders? A shop or restaurant owner employing polish staff? A brit who hires polish plumbers to help him out in his house?

Are we thinking about the same forum? Don't want to spoil your fun isthatu, but at times it seems that this forum is only about UK and its immigration policy.

Of course it does damnit and a fine shine it is! ;]

More seriously though, if you don't see the amount of posts made by british posters moaning about the influx of Poles to the UK than you are the one that's being disilusioned here isthatu.


What is your solution than?

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]


In most cases the conclusion is that it's the fault of Tony Blair and the British Government and yet the last time I checked this forum was not a government one.

Oh well, let us skip this very interesting question for now and focus on a totally different issue, namely could it have been avoided? Could a low skilled British factory worker, or any factory worker for that matter, enjoy his 9 pounds/euro per hour work life for a long time in times when people are working literally for a bowl of rice? How many "Made in China" products do you have in your home? There is quite a collection in my house.

The influx of cheap Eastern European, or as some prefer, Polish labor force to British Isles created new job places whether you like it or not. It also put down the wages for the low skilled workers. You can’t have it all, right?

This year Nokia decided to move it's factory from Bochum Germany to Romania. The Germans lost 2 300 job places as well as tax from that company which will benefit Romanian citizens from now on. It's just time when Poland will became to expensive for the factory owners. I doubt you can stop that process.

So what have we learned today kids? That it’s better to be rich and healthy than sick and poor! Which the former I wish you all. :)

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]


I think those problems should not only be accepted but also dealth with if it such a troblesome issue for the UK. Still I'm afraid that Polish people have no influence over the british immigration policy thus making it more of a british forum subject rather than a PF one. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind discussing it but the amount of topics concerning this issue is second only to WWII threads, which clearly says volumes. At times I have the impression that this messageboard is about Britain rather than Poland.

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]


Well during the time of the Republic of Both Nations Poles made about 50% of the whole population of the Commonwealth. The rest constituted from Lithuanians, today’s Byelorussians and Ukrainians, Jews, Karaites, Germans, Latvians, Armenians, Gypsies, Tartars as well as Dutch and Czech communities. There were also strong merchant communities of Greeks and Italians. English, Hungarian and Scotish commnunities were also present but not to the extent of the previous mentioned nationalities of course. Generally there were over 20 languages present in the ROBN and several religions. If that’s not multi cultural than I don't know what is.
