The Germans hated polish because they were mostly Jewish and they don't like Jews because of Hitler who's art dreams were crushed by Jewish peoples rejections.
I Hate Polish People Because.. Basically They Moved Here To Be Perverts. My Little Sister And I Were At The Library. And Two Polish Men Told My Sister To Go To The Toilet With Them And To Sit On Their Laps. Obviously I Went Home Before Telling The Librarian And Making My Mom Angry When I Told Her !! That's My View.
No, people are different. English people do it as well ^
You don't know a lot of Polish people, just the ones that came here, for job.
I'm Polish and I live here for 4 years. So if someone English men came up to me and tell me to sit on their laps, I'd have to hate all of the English ppl?! O.o

Both Polish and French have their difficulties. This is also a matter of personal background. French vocabulary is reasonably easy to learn for an English speaker. Polish is a Slavic language (close to Czech or Slovak), which can make it harder to master, but has the advantage to use the Latin alphabet instead of the Cyrillic one used in Russian.
Why do Northern Irish people hate Polish?
Northern Irish people do not hate Polish people. Not by any means! I hold our Polish brothers and sisters in great esteem and I have never met a single Irish person who has a bad word to say about their Polish neighbours.
You are no doubt referring to a number of Polish families that were burnt out of their homes in recent years. Most of these families sadly moved into Protestant areas or areas where Protestants have historically held a majority. Polish emigrants are typically fervently Catholic. Not knowing the Northern Irish Political Situation (which is admittedly ridiculous) they moved into these ares and become unfortunate casualties, caught in the cross-fire of a long-standing conflict.
It may be that some insecure Unionists fear that a wave of immigration from Poland may increase the chances of a United Ireland, because there are more Catholics who could vote, entering the system, thus tipping the balance in favour of Nationalism. However I think their fears are unfounded as our political situation is of little interest to people who were not born in Northern Ireland.
I would like to point out that the vast majority of Protestants in Northern Ireland are not hostile towards Polish people and you may in some rare occasions find some xenophobic Catholics who don't like anyone coming from other countries as well. Xenophobia exists everywhere it is sadly unavoidable as there will always be people susceptible to indoctrination. It's easy to blame outsiders for our own problems sometimes.
I cannot be sure if this accounts for all cases of violence directed at Polish people in Northern Ireland but I am quite sure that it explains the majority of cases. The situation seems to have improved of late and a number of Polish people have returned home because the financial situation is improving in Poland.
I think Polish people are very welcome in Northern Ireland. In my experience our two cultures are very similar and Polish people have no difficulty integrating into Northern Irish life.
How do you say 'pleasure is mine' in Polish?
The correct phrase in such situation would be "Cała przyjemność po mojej stronie" (difficult to pronounce, especially "ść") which literally means "The all pleasure is on my side".
How do you say sorry in Polish?
There are two ways, depending on the context:"Przepraszam" - I'm sorry (as in I'm sorry I forgot to bring your book)"Przykro mi" - I'm sorry (as in I'm sorry for your lost)
