If I made your heritage the 'kicker' of the story then yes it would be opportunistic and unfair to every other member of your family.
Reads fine to me.
For me the story reads as if the woman's bad behaviour can be attributed to her nationality rather than her being a bit of a bitch or unstable or whatever.
Shure look, we'll agree to disagree. We probably all read the same story with a slightly different lens.
Oh agree, if that's the way the OP was intended. I was just pointing out that it would be hard to relate the story without saying "and then the cnut goes on to say that the food would be better if it was the Chocolate family giving a party".take everything wrote: »You seem to be missing the point. This was one Polish woman out of 38 million Polish people observed to be acting the maggot. Now if acting the maggot like this was observed to be largely a Polish preserve, then, maybe, MAYBE, we might start looking at the relationship between Poles and acting the maggot (without invoking the racism argument).
But this is one woman acting the maggot. Whether it involves her comparing the health service to her own country's service is irrelevant. It's still one woman acting the maggot. One foreign woman acting the maggot. One Polish woman acting the maggot. One Polish woman acting the maggot and criticising the HSE.
One being the important bit.
One.
One.
Got it.
I've totally got it.
I don't understand what your point is. Did you not get my analogy in my previous post. If it was me making remarks at Chuck's party, I would only be one member of the Chocolate family, but it would still have been me
who brought the Chocolate family into it, and if he wanted to give an account of what happened he would be obliged to tell it like it happened.
If other people then choose to take Chuck's honest account of what transpired, as an assault on the Chocolate family, then I think they would
be being very unfair to Chuck.
Only Chuck can say whether he was hoping or not that people would hold it against the whole Chocolate family, but that's a complete other argument.0 -

I'm not surprised when things like queue jumping happens, I see it alot...thought it was just something that happens regularly when you put a bunch of people in a room, who are all individual & different from one another in how they deal with being ill or tired of waiting...
...I've been to many consultants and scan appointments in the last 7 months...each time being sent a letter in advance with my appointment time & nearly every time being seen 1-2 hours after my appointment time...so I agree yes our health care system is not very efficient (In many ways)
Last week I was waiting for my scan appointment...it was meant to be at 2:30, I had my daughter with me, she was being really good fair play to her as we waited for 2 hours to get seen, but we managed to entertain ourselves enough to keep her happy
-anyway, this time the delay was because every time the consultant came out of her office to call the next person in a woman came up to her and asked when it was her turn, so she spent about 3 minutes arguing with her about how long they were waiting...that the appointment was for her daughter who was pregnant and tired (I think every woman there was pregnant...and knackered)
So just before I get called in the consultant called the woman & her daughter in and saw them... then after it was my turn the consultant apologised to me for letting the woman skip the queue ahead of me, she felt like she had to see her as she was getting more and more irate every time she approached her.
I shrugged it off & said ok & went on my way...I do believe it takes a certain type of person who kicks up a fuss in this way & thinks its ok, but I don't think its down to race, ethnicity, or whatever...maybe the way she was raised, the environment she lives in...but people like this can be found in every country
...but then yes, deep down I was judging this woman every time she kicked up a fuss...anyone who says they don't judge others easily is on their own little pedestal I think!
So I judged this woman because she was loud, made everyone around her know about how her pregnant daughter was tired & asked "what time was everyone elses appointment at"?, dressed skanger style, another woman called in to see what was taking them so long at one point & had a 1 year old with her who was drinking Coke, and probably a million other little things that I subconsciously picked up on that made my mind up about her...
I am not the nicest person for thinking like this I know, I know...
I am like this due to my environment and my upbringing...we are all different, I suggest dealing with it Angry Kitten!
