News / POLISH LITTLE GIRL SHOT DEAD BY AN ITALIAN [104]

Following your reasoning,

there is no following reason with you - you creat an entire new blend! that is not what has been suggested at all! the fact it was a Polish victim is NOT to say that THe italian NATION is OUT to KILL Polish as you suggest. and that WAS all that was being suggested.

'This could have happened in any country...'

- But this has actually happened in Italy, and not in another country. Does it make you wonder why?

Murder happens in EVERYcountry - shall i now write about all Polish killers of polish people and people of other nations? Your point is ridiculous and self serving

- How do you know what would have happened? Are you some kind of psychic?

Its an opinion - if they didnt have weapons its a very good reasoning too. 'follwing this reasoning you Dont you like opinions puzzler?' :) (this is the type of replies we get from you)

Again Puzzler - this is a crime one person against another - an innocent got caught in the middle - the two men had arguement between them and one had a gun. it is a punishble crime tradegy. What you are suggesting is disgraceful and out of touch with reality. People of all nations and creeds should be defended from such atrocities but you cannot see the fact that it is not all murders in Italy against Polish people. You ignore, BLATENTLY, murders in Poland, Murders in Italy against otehrs, and murder everywhere. All are crimes all are tragic. The world is NOT out to get you.

And yes, by removing my totally pertinent reply to patrycja's posting, you have performed an act of censoring.

It was removed like the rest to the (questioning style topic) it is there to be answered like the rest of the moved messagesd that spilt topic

News / POLISH LITTLE GIRL SHOT DEAD BY AN ITALIAN [104]

Well, daffy, is your message: 'Get over the murder, Polish folks, and don't defend yourselves against abuses directed at you, turn the other cheek'?

you know it is not. it is dont think its a case of Italians all hate and kill Polish people as YOU are implying. rather twisted IMHO you've done this to MANY members here. Twisting there posts to serve your hateful goals

Following your line of reasoning, Daffy, any murder should go unpunished, because the murderer could have killed anybody else, and punishing him could create hostility on the part of him and eg. his buddies.

i have not applied murder should go unpunished and no-one else has seen such resoning either - your twisting yet again not questioning.

So you say Daffy, that punishing a murderer is 'inciting to hatred'?

No, i said;

Isn't it high time for us Poles to start defending ourselves energetically against the Polonophobic racists, cowards, fascists and killers of our children?

is inciteful to hatred. all crimes will be punished to the law not vigilantism and god hope not your kind of vigilantism.

And if you bring in Catholicism, does the Catholic Church recommend lawlessness and getting away with murder?

You know it doesnt and i find your question inane. and unhelpful to the discussion
As you full well know the answer already

And no, this killing of Poles by Italians has not been an 'isolated incident,' but another murder in a series.

confirmation bias yet again - ignore all the other murders but jump on any that have polish victims, forget about the murders where polish have killed. or any other nation citizen for that matter - cop on will ya

By the way, Daffy, I wonder why have you removed my reply to patrycja's posting?

Some censorship after all?

its in the (question style thread) there was no censorship :D :D :D

It's a lie made up by these damn woomp monkies.

and you've got the minerals to back that up or are you just assuming that all italians are out to get the Polish?

It was a crime, a tragic one and could have been English, Spainish - race was immaterial to arguing and its ensuing result.

as any normal human would be

\
precisily, you should see the question he asked Bwoo in th (question style thread)

There is no italian mass hatred of Poland as a result of this article and neither would there have been mass hatred of Ireland if it was an Irish child.

it is a standalone crime that is universally unacceptable and tragic. It is not a call to arms for crying out loud :eyesrolling:

or is this just a generalized statement?

generalized statement i fear - inciting fear and hate between nationalities i suspect

If this child was from Ire or Uk - Puzzler wouldnt have battered an eyelid to any polonaphobia - he prob would have been disguisted at the crime though

That just 'ghetto'ises peoples and creates more fear and intolerance. What the Italian did was inexcusable but he could have argued with another italian man and done the same - You wouldnt be posting it here then. Instead you've exampled 'confirmation bias' as outlined by another member in another thread. It is an isolated incident and a tragic one. Not one to start getting Poles to a call to arms

inciting further hatred. Learn what Jesus taught you if you claim to be a catholic. If not at least use common sense that violence begat violence and will NOT solve the issue. Mad people exist IN all Countries and you would not be so talkative about examples where Polish citizens are in the news for such gruesome and unacceptable acts to other nationalities - of which HAS happened and we should not attribute such unacceptable to ANY ONE RACE as a whole

Love / My Polish boyfriend never says 'l love you' to me, what should i do? [93]

Im not using heavy scientific methods - i merely borrow a little from life, a little form psychology that i deem relevant to the topic.

It is an established way of thinking in some males that moire is experiencing and i offer this information to her knowingly and from my experiences that men are often very difficult to change - that men are the only ones who can truly change themselves

you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink, comes to mind

BTW - register will ya ;) you've posted so much now you might as well :)

Every Polak loves Poland,

not true - i know many many poles who hate the things in there homeland

You cannot use psychology

ridiculous - it is a highly valid and valuable means of understanding human behavior - the exceptions to the rules are even covered there and always more study is going on.

It is the means that people can sit here and say 'ah yes, i know what you mean' and so on. Its because we share understanding on the subject at a basic level and as such it is possible to understand on a more academic level.

Moire's plight is not unique and has many psychological studies and papers on just such human behavior.

cannt understand what is wrong with my job if i still cook his dinner, wash his clothes, knit him sweater

thats not the point in the mind of some men - its the fact you could earn more money then him, be smarter than him. im just saying, some men are very insecure about these things. Id love it really - means more money for the household and greater oppurtunity to have great things open for a possible family

Love / My Polish boyfriend never says 'l love you' to me, what should i do? [93]

anyway i wiil change the strategy slowly,

Men often don't like feeling played. We know he is not being the best man for you from what you've said - only love you have is keeping you there but under any normal conditions - would you tolerate it?

I dont think its best to try and change him as men are very stubborn creatures and even more so when trying to be changed. I think it would make it worse moire :(

I know we cannot see what makes him special to you that you stay with him - but weigh up that versus all this i think.

tragedy is that we have to hide our brightness to satisfy men's pride.

Ain't that the truth! :) men are, speaking for myself I guess, can be so prideful. To be fair thats the world we grew up in, it is expected of us to act certain ways - that way is changing in many western cultures, i notice it less in the younger generation. (its still there, just not as much)

With more independent women - men have had to re-adjust.

AS to your problem - it can play a part. Men say they want to have a smart women, what they usually end up meaning on a subconscience level is a smart woman, just not as smart as him.

Maybe its the case here? maybe he is intimidated by your obvious status in academia. my2cents

Love / I cheated on my girlfriend (I'm British, my gf is Polish) [167]

men do succumb to the sexual desires easier than women. to say men think with their penis is true some of the time.

more often then not, they regret the action, guilt, built into them from social 'norms' educated into us since children.

But some men get away with it and enjoy the thrill.
Women too can enjoy the thrill. But I wonder if the thrill more than the sex is the driving force there. as not being caught gives a sense of power to the person.

I wouldn't cheat and I know that I could be tempted if I had alcohol in me. So I don't drink so much that I cannot realise my actions - also, I stick with my friends who would look out for me. I admit its not ideal but I realise that men are easy at times. and i dont want to be a cheater so I dont allow myself the chance. Ive never cheated in the past - but know its all to easy at times. Ive been in tempting situations and haven't succombed but i was lucky not to be weakened with alcohol. for eg.

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]

i'm english parisdoll and i have no problem at all with polish people, live and let live is my moto.

and you'll find this to be the majority thinking of the english (who do think ukinpl ;)) an Irish alike.

I don't work in construction I work in a multinational with nationalities from all across the world, Aussies, Polish, English, French, Italian, German, Spainish, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Chile, Argentina etc and we all get on famously! :) best years of my life tbh

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]

parisdoll, i dont think you've got the pulse at all.

The english certaintly dont think

jelous about the success of other people. they can`t stand us poles making money, being intelligent, getting the good positions.

the majority of migrant workers go into construction and other trade jobs - this is not to say there is no intelligence required but it is a very vocal workforce and they hate competition lol - not you as a race. It was the Irish before that :) like any PEOPLE who face competition in busines. No one wakes up to that and says 'brilliant news altogether' :)

there are some very nasty, xenophob people out there. you can meet them in evryday life. just open your eyes and protect your identity.

very true, and they exist in Poland as well as England and Ireland and France etc. its an individual thing, not a national thing

Language / Decided to start out by getting a few phrases together... [8]

With so many of the young leaving Poland now it is becoming something of a dead language.

oh now strong statement - I tell you Irish is nearer a dead language than Polish is :)

It might be a good idea to invest in a good Polish grammar book with cassettes

I may have OVER invested hehe I just need to get the time to sit down and do it

Love / I cheated on my girlfriend (I'm British, my gf is Polish) [167]

Actually, it is always the mans fault......if they know what's good for them;)

lol true enough, but this goes back to cheating and trust. how a man may not be as forgiving as a women is down to the psychology - why would women tend to forgive this more?

isnt it normally your fault tho....?

the point is it doesnt matter - its the outlook of men and women.
it could be the door is faulty or you failed to open it correctly. its your reaction to when it doesnt work as it should

News / Polish gay activists win human rights case [19]

they did in the past. they would ask your religious background, your ethnicity, your sexual orientation. many companies in the UK still ask you to fill in your ethnic background on application forms eg NEXT

Love / I cheated on my girlfriend (I'm British, my gf is Polish) [167]

That's about the only thing I could never forgive.

me too, trust is gone. and without trust you become paranoid, go nuts, or whatever. the relationship takes an unhealthy turn

But now, I would look at this situation closer. I would ask myself "did I contribute to this in any way, am I partly responsible"?

I know alot of women hold this view - its pyschology. example.

man in a car tries to get out but the door doesnt open
response.
whats wrong with this f**king door?

women in car tries to get out but the door doesnt open
response.
whats wrong with me that i cant open the door?

am i wrong?

No, Poland Ukraine 2012 - the footy man! the footy :D

I don't know if employers are interested in their employees sexual orientation anymore or anywhere. Not even military.

exactly - its not a question that can be asked as it doesnt effect the job they are doing

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

Sparrow, can you translate the video's text for us please and we can understand it then. and determine if it falls under the nazi/KKK standard Frank suspects it to be.

and sparrow is not advocating racism - he is pointed out how it exists in the modern day. I think it is interesting to see it. If he WAS advocationg Racism that is not acceptable. But being aware of its existence is knowlegde and we can hopefully learn how to combat and prevent such unacceptable behavior. If it IS inciteful then of course it would be removed - but that remains to be seen

But I wrote what would happen IF...

fair enough, IF, but lets say IF, I do not think IF will materialise

So.....its ok to put up Nazi/KK vids too.....?.....you're treading on thin ice ..Daffy...IMHO

Whether its an old man/group/organistion/political party....its all the same...unacceptable.

the point is you and i dont know yet about the video as its in polish - let him translate it and we will see.

as to saying im on thin ice :eyesrolling: :D

racism is unacceptable frank you know full well by know my views - and im willing to allow sparrow translate it and we KNOW its such rather than me modding what i suspect to be
