PennBoy: That is the key word you should be looking at whether legal or illegal this country has a problem with immigrants and surely doesn't need any more of them. A patriot should have no problems with his fellow kin coming to a country which isn't his own. I mean, blood is thicker than water, isn't it?

guesswho:

This is what this country is all about, everyone was (at some point) a foreigner before he became an American.

Everybody except the native Indians, forgot about that did yah?

That is a good thing about America though all foreigners are in fact in the same boat. It is entirely a nation of immigrants. Good job the founding fathers were mostly of British origin, just think where you would be without us!

FUZZYWICKETS:

even though "in some countries my life would be easier". You're only rationale for not getting out of there is

I suppose you mean US, all that and then some. LOL

FUZZYWICKETS:

You could live better in other countries, provide for yourself better, give your children or future children a better life, have a better/easier lifestyle

Newsflash, all of the above arguments are out the door in relation to US.
Provide for yourself better – indeed, unemployment at all-time high, falling wages across the board, everything outsourced where it’s much more profitable for the patriotic American corporations to do business and no end in sight. That false patriotic pride of yours won’t change the facts or bring the jobs back, besides working at MacDonald’s and subsidies the riches of the rich through your taxes is not very aping prospect at, least to me that is.
Give your children or future children a better life – I’m afraid that if you’re employed at Wal-Mart you have a fat chance to afford some crappie Community College tuition for your children let alone a proper University education, another Myth debunked. That's a prospect for a better future in America for you.
Have a better/easier lifestyle – Did I mention that you would have to work at least two shifts at either of those jobs just to feed your family and pay for the roof over your head which doesn’t leave you much of a leisure time.
What I do not understand is why the Americans have the need to stick their nose in other people’s business repeating the same old when in reality the boat they are on is sinking yet they fail to see it, they just stand there singing America the Beautiful.
Fix your own before poking your nose in my,

two things.

1, I wasn't making a comparison to the USA. you know what they say about assuming.

2, what a bunch of garbage you just posted. do you really think that's an argument? "if you work at Walmart...".....???? Are you serious? Does being a store clerk in ANY country get you a big house in the hills with a Mercedes? come on.

you're reading way too much into what I posted. it was mostly written in response to another poster who i find amusing, to say the least. if you want to run away with this trying to turn it into another, "Pig American, you think you're so great and your country is so great, " be my guest, but you're barking up the wrong tree, holmes.

FUZZYWICKETS:

So someone asked you why you continue to stay in Poland.....and you don't even know why.

I know why but it has nothing to do with material things. I like living in Poland,I like Polish mentality, I like to be close with family and friends.

FUZZYWICKETS:

You could live better in other countries, provide for yourself better, give your children or future children a better life, have a better/easier lifestyle, yet you just can't seem to pull yourself away.

I said easier not better.Yes,I could get better money,maybe a better job (just maybe bcs I have humanistic mind and good international jobs are usually for ppl with degree in science),but that's not all.As for a lifestyle...I don't know if it would be easier or better.Children...even if we assume that life in other country is better now who can give me a guarantee that it will be also a better place for my children?

FUZZYWICKETS:

Deep, incredibly dependent emotional attachments to mommy and daddy to the point where they'll give themselves along with their children a life several steps down from what it could be, all so they can eat mom's pierogi and piernik.

You don't choose what your feelings are.But even if we could choose it's a matter of priorities.For me family is really important and I like to be close to them.
Even when I was 16 or 17 I thought that I'll go abroad but only for a year or two.I like to walk through my town and think that every place is familiar,that everything brings memories.

FUZZYWICKETS:

I'll never understand it but if that's the life you choose, you must accept the consequences.

I know that my decisions have their consequences and it's not like I don't think what the pros and coins are. Maybe I'll change my mind someday but as for now...I'm happy that I'm living in Poland.
P.S. Sorry it took me so long to respond but I'm not here everyday.
