No of course it's not the fault of the British people it's just the way the country is run. approx 70% of my friends here are immigrants from various countries and they all came here for the money. Not one of them is happy with their quality of life. It seems like the only way you can make lots of money here is to buy houses, do them up as cheaply as possible and sell them for profit - and even this is contributing to the coutries decline. Now they want to go to Poland to do the same. (phew back on topic)


I too know many immigrants and most are happy with life in the UK.Those who are unhappy either came here with unrealistic expectations or intend to just save money and are not interested in having a life here.You mention "make lots of money".Those who strive to "make lots of money" rather than enjoy life are usually the least happy of all.

Poland is a beautiful Country. I've only been to four or five cities for a three month summer visit, so I don't know everything about the culture. As nations go, the families are strong. Work ethics are not up to western standards, though I wouldn't call that a bad thing.

Polish people are so proud. My girlfriend of four years calls me her 'Favorite American'. I will always be an outsider to Poles I guess. Hopefully Poland will become a wealthy nation. There is a trend that will not go away. I'll try to explain it here.

Humanity is changing and growing at an exponential rate. We're not going to be able to stop the mass obesity, debt, polution, corruption of the world. It is coming everywhere. Read any of Ryszard Kapuscinski's books and you will see how it's the same everywhere. Some nations grow wealthy enough to allow individuals to escape the tradgedy of civilization.

I think the best we can do is build communities of 'like-minded' families. Some crisis are not National matters, but idiological instead. I don't have a clue about the property ownership laws in Poland, but I can tell you that in the USA, our Banks have overstepped lending and it's possible that the wave of resession could come through Poland in the next few years. Hopefully nothing lasting.

This is typical Brit whinging.You can find many negatives in every country to whinge about.Some of those above are not even accurate-of course children in many areas can still go out alone but parents are more fearful(partly because of the hysterical crime reporting these days).Everything is taxed in most decent countries-go to a country with low tax and see what sort of life it is for the average person.Health and safety has resulted in fewer accidental deaths than ever before and chavs are not as bad as the equivalents in the past (eg skinheads).Its true people are getting fatter-in every wealthier society.


You can have tax which is good, but you can have too much tax - my gripe.

Health and safety is good ie building sites - but why can't kids play conkers. It's RIDICULOUS! In some countires if you spill hot McDonalds coffee on yourself - it's your own damn fault for being so stupid. All the stuff we did as kids that is now banned. People don't do anything anymore for fear of being sued or punished.

Correct - Chavs were not as bad as Skinheads. Skins were a very well defined subculture and did not blend with society. They kept themselves separate. Yes they faught, stabbed etc but they had some dignity - however chavs are blending in with our children, taking over the schools, bars, streets - subtle but rotten to the core.

I don't mean if your kid goes out they will get jacked - more like your kid will end up falling under the wrong influence, get invloved with bad apples and become chavs themselves. I've seen it happen to other kids. Some of the best schools have been infiltrated by scum.

I ment mcdonalds, kfc, pizza hut on every corner. And big colorful meaningless posters on historical buldings.
There are also good things as well I know, But such are the costs of glabalisation I guess.
But is it wrong that I want the process to go slower?



It is not wrong at all. I've lived in Poland for five years, it becomes more 'cheap Western' slowly but surely. Might be time to head further east again ;-(

I understand what you are saying-my own view is that some things are better than in the past and some things are worse.
