    There should be more immigrants let into Ireland.

    Anything that annoys skangers and the ignorant Irish underclass is a good thing.

    God. I wish the racists really would come along and turn around this patronising embarrassment of a topic. :eek:

    Say, who likes Nigerians? Let's all gather around Obuku here and tickle him under the chin! Then when we're done, we'll all go over to Ling Wu over there and pet her for a few minutes.

    Or is it just me that thinks that taking people as you find them, regardless of nationality, is the most blatantly obvious and sensible thing to do? :o

    no, it's not just you.

    the thing is, if someone is guilty of a crime, nationality shouldn't come into it.

    I think there's a bit of a culture clash. I work in retail and 90% of Polish people will throw the money at me and won't utter a word. I find it really rude and disrespectful. Also I live with 6 of them at the moment. They avoid speaking English and just speak Polish when the 3 non Polish people are around. I find the ones I know aren't integrating very well. It's kind of "us" and "them" as far as I can see at the moment.

    Not too sure what your point is there relative to what I said but I agree with you, FWIW.

    Oh yeah, I forgot, my doctor is a Polish woman. I like her a lot better than the previous doc, who didn't really seem to give a crap.

    Ok I didn't read the whole 4 pages, just the first one, but the jist(is that how you spell jist?) of it seems to be do you like the Poles?. Personally I really like the Polish people, or those I have met so far in anyways. That being said, the first time I was stabbed, back in 2001 it was a Polish bloke that did it. But anyways, they seem to remind me alot of real Irish people i.e. people that don't live in D4, that wanted to work as soon as they were able to, and that would sopport their freinds ahead of any one else, be it gaurds or state or employers. The have a reasonably similar history to our own and I think that has shaped the culture in the same way as ours. They work hard, fight tough, drink like fish, and look after thier own, and are severe cleptomaniacs (but only when they can justify it) my kinda people.

    I had always assumed that the were liftime immigrants into Ireland - like we were around the time of the famine etc. Seemingly the vast majority plan to work save cash and make their way home ? Anyone know the story here am curious as to whether they are making a life here or having an extended working holiday.....[?]

    Both. Some of the less qualified or with poor english are here just to make enough cash to go back home, buy a house, live for some time on what they earned and then come back. But there are people, like myself, who left Poland 'cause they just couldn't stand it anymore. My plan is to stay in Ireland as long as it "pays the bills" without a major headache.

    *scratches head*

    i must have lost all hope for humanity...or at least boards. Cause i just assumed straight off the bat that the OP was blatant sarcasm...

    but seeing as it actually isnt i dont have much experiance of the Polish living in Ireland, seeing as i am living in England at the moment, but seeing as i dont really care where anyone comes from over here when judging them, i assume the same applies to the polish in Ireland.



    On a side note, has any of the polish here tried f*cking with the tourists by telling them they are speaking irish when they are speaking polish, could have alot of fun messing with some people.

    I was good friends with a Polish guy who has gone back home now. He was a great laugh and the tales he told me about living under communism certainly opened my eyes.

    I've worked with Poles too and must agree that they are great workers. This I imagine is because the vast majority of Polish people actually appreciate the fact that they have jobs wheras most Irish people seem to take their cushy lives for granted.

    Thanks for that, most of the folks in the thread have moved on I would say...hopefully as the thread is nearly 9 years old at this stage. :)
