Life / Poles brighter than French, Americans, Israelis and Irish... [20]

Whats your prob;em roz, have you turned into a troll, I speak Polish, I have lived in poland for 3 years now, everyone has accepted me as a fellow Pole, I get invited and partake in all the local functions, the priest comes to bless my house and pray with me each year, my mum ( Who is Polish too wants her ashes scattered here on the farm, my fathers wellies (from when he worked as a builder in the uk with his irish buddies) are burried on top of the hill after i finally wore them out,.

sadly my dad died and is buried in the uk, but his tombstone reads in polish and english here lies a soldier of the Polish II corps,

"Lucky nobody said that to your parents eh?" oh they did nazi salutes an all , after all they used to call me a white wog for good measure

I am very much the son of that soldier who fought for his country and died in exile.

So who are you?

Back on topic please

News / Polish girl, 16, found dead at school after complaints of racist bullying [29]

My family and I had a shed load of this racism in the UK , luckily my parents supported me and helped me through the torments and physical violence that came from this , I had a incident in 2008 where I was racially abused by an fellow employee , the police took it seriously and arrested the culprit in the middle of the night , interviewed him and dna tested him, the crown prosecution service found that it would not be in the public interest to prosecute the case.

The local police were surprised, one told me that if i was not white the case would have progressed!!!! go figure.

May Dagmara rest in peace my prayers are with her family and friends.

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

'Drancy' That be a sad and unfair thing to bring up , especially given the context, and as for brexit the more I read the less likely it will have any real effect on existing migrants / ex pats across europe.

May be in the future there will be rules for migration post brexit

UK, Ireland / Poles - go home make your country better [40]

Well its fair to say as a British Person you will soon have a vote to leave the EU, and stop the migration, not long now.

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

"who viewed themselves as superior to other Canadians and even insult my country", then they are nor representative of of the Polish people at large, many poles travel for holidays and work abroad . Poles today have the freedom to travel the world and do so to soak up an experience that their parents during communism never had, only today i talked to a guy that had visited Peru 5 times and he spoke to me about the importance of fitting in an accepting the traditions, food and culture of the host nation.

I do hope that the bad experience you have had with poles is just sad minority of individuals that probably exist in most nations.

Please come and visit Poland one day, you will be most welcome.

Law / Statistics of crime rates in Poland [37]

The below video should help answer the question, there are many other documentaries on the subject

To my knowledge Poland does not have any sharia law zones as yet, but if Poland is forced to take in migrants these zones will start popping up and crime rates will rise accordingly.

Thank god it was a one off rouge individual " he wasn't the brightest chap " probably a good thing he would have caused more carnage had he been trained.

Lets hope this is a one off situation.

"Some nationalist jerk who made a bomb scare isn't news nowaadays.", From what I read it was a real nail bomb the bus driver removed it shortly before the explosion, someone has been hurt, This is not just some jerk, his motives need to be investigated.

There is nothing nationalistic about blowing up your own (Or any People). Political agendas (If this is the case here) should be won or lost at the ballot box.

Smurf "Stop trolling" "Ignorance is bliss eh?" Please keep your rude and derogatory remarks for random chat in future , they do nothing to promote debate on this topic.

Travel / Mosques in Krakow? [131]


Thanks for the insight, so this is more of a political problem rather than any argument as to the teachings of the Quran itself.

This I believe was also true of the relationship between Jews Christians and Arabs in the holy lands at one time, Albeit the crusades didn't help .

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

" enough money in the coffers to pay dole money" Angela Merkel / France and the EU would pay repatriation costs if it came to it.

I am pretty sure that Hollande would happily close off the borders and start repatriation of peoples if Brexit occured, The French have never been happy with Britain's european membership, de Gaulle blocked it for years.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]


They maybe forced to leave after i, There again I am pretty sure that children born in the UK will be British Citizens thus their parents may not be extradited.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

Thanks Media watch I always wondered why Americans picked on the Poles with their Polak Jokes , The Brits picked on the Irish, Can anyone explain why would the American media pick on the Poles and their reasoning behind it?

UK, Ireland / Should an English website in UK have Polish translations? [12]

Of course the Police should translate their websites into all the major languages that are in used by migrants within the UK, after all the UK is a multicultural society now , It should not be assumed that all migrants in the UK would have knowledge of or wish to learn English.

I Note already that the NHS is doing a great t job in translating its literature into Hindi Urdu Polish etc.

I was In the UK a few months ago and noticed a leaflet about Anti natal care at the doctors surgery Polish was included.

Anyway Bravo the Police taking their time to get peoples opinions.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

Archie Bunker. That does sound more plausible than some kind of mass conspiracy against the Poles, why would any Americans wish Poland any harm , the vast majority of Poles like the American people (Although not always the politics and vice versa I guess)

UK, Ireland / Should an English website in UK have Polish translations? [12]

Yeah do the important bits, try and keep costs down for the tax payer, oh I guess the bits on race hate / crimes , how to report them etc , should be translated in full.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

I get it Jon, but I guess if the same jokes / stereotypes were made about black people all hell would break loose.

So Are the Polish Jokes dying away in America In the same way that racists jokes are a no no today?
