truer words have never been spoken than these:
It's been said that one can't generalize about any nationality--except Hungarians. All Hungarian men are scientists, composers, or philanderers; all the women are great cooks and sex pots. Any two Hungarians in a room will begin to argue, any three will start a revolution. They all love good food. You can delay the revolution by serving Chicken Paprikas. According to Hungarian mythology, paradise is a land of sour cream and paprikas

That's pretty funny and true!
My husband is half-Hungarian and half-Montenegrin Serb & he agrees!

I like Hungarians. Perhaps because of how similar they are to Poles. I love a good spicy gulasz. It's interesting that the Polish and Hungarian languages are so different, but somehow, we have always understood each other.
Do you know that stalin said that if there was only one peson left in the world, and he was a Pole, he would start arguing with himself? :)
I too agree that it is stupid to allow muslims to do practically whatever they want, but be restrictive on allowing people who actually work to enter britain. Of course, no one wants more foreigners in their country than natives, but it looks like britain is going that way because of the muslims. Still, much better than say france.
I have a friend who went to britain to work, and she is making in a week what her mother makes in a month in Poland, and that is considered a low wage job in Britain. She says people from Britain don't want to do jobs like that.
Many things in Eastern Europe are good, but without a good wage, life is not easy for most. I think one major problem is the fact that a great many stores and companies in Eastern European countries are owned by West Europe. If most of the market could be made domestic(ex. stores in Poland owned by Polish companies), perhaps things would improve.
