News / GERMAN PSYCHOPATHS INSULTING POLISH PEOPLE [95]

little insufficiently, or wrongly, informed

i could say the same thing about you, its a circular arguement

sensitive European

yes.

and a bit too firmly holding onto his convictions

again, could say this about you too - circular argument

prove that I allegedly 'hate all things german apparantly'

thats putting words in my mouth. i didnt say you hate all things german. id be surprised and dumbfounded if that were the case

News / GERMAN PSYCHOPATHS INSULTING POLISH PEOPLE [95]

jewish culture, while not an expert, as we know is older than christianity (you'd be surprised that some christians dont know that)

Anywho. they came from a time where a family was pretty much a nation. and it was the way then (and can still be seen today - in any religious background) that the family come first and outsiders (gentiles) are not trustworthy, treat with contemp/skeptism.

This is what i understand that background to be from, open to correct and edumacation

I'm curious

History / Another german attack on John Paul II. [49]

Die Welt has removed from its website insults about Pope. They felt guilty? Now that`s something new.

an admission they were wrong. can you say as much?

Maybe there is hope for them as well

hope for everyone. (its not limited to a few)

And you are too idealistic.

more, optimistic. I tend not to react insult with insult, punch for punch, its stone age, non progressive and belongs in the past. its ideals that hold society together

ideals that made the UN possible, EU, gandhi, mandela, mr teresa, M King jr, etc etc etc. id rather aspire to be on that list than anyother so i try to live my life the best way possible

seems you dont like that.

History / Another german attack on John Paul II. [49]

because you are not one of them

you mean the role models of mandela, king, john paul? they HAVE told you, they tell ALL people to rise above it, adversity...you've been told, you just choose not to listen.

But I can promise one thing. When I`ll hear apology for insults from all germ boys, I start to think like you. But this will never happen.

and so there is hope is for you. but understand your actions merit apology too. (as you've already stated you've PREempted action too) So i'd simply suggest to start now, wipe the slate, be bigger than this, be that better person, give them no reason to put you down. and they will eventually relent.

they will. far worse bullies have fallen to less. its up to YOU to be strong

im sorry i dont fully understand what your trying to say here

I would be with you when that Big picture start to collapse. And, even then I would suggest to you to preserve your faith at least in your children, for some days in future.

were maybe first who believed in united Europe.

good, then keep that belief alive. practise it. work towards it. be progress.

Life / CAN NON-POLISH UNDERSTAND POLAND? [17]

Homosexuals are a threat to the existence of the human race

we're not the ones you've got to convince, its his translators not the media

Never-ever has he made those remarks. (The hacks, first in England, took his words out of context and repeated in a misrepresented form.)

again, its his translators up with him doing the translation and the media is ighting it down. i saw the news clip that night! i heard the words he said and the translator and the poles i know agreed the translation. im merely saying, you didnt see it, we did.

Daffy, Warsaw Voice isn't an auhoritative source on Polish subjects.

noted, so what can you recommend please

skeptic towards the media reports

we are, thats why we are here, that is why ive been to poland several times, and why i always talk to my polish friends, colleagues and GF on forming any opinion about Poland

appears to understand the Polish psyche from my discussions with him

groovy :)

Daffy ... Freedom to all progressive humans!

Can i say im delighted that your post had such more rounded and civility, Thank you very much honestly!

Quoting: daffy
not all poles are of slavic descent

But of course.

cool

did you ever heard for facts about Arcturus Castus- more latter known as King Arthur Pendragon

i am very familiar with King Arthur and am a fan of the type of kingdom it held of civility, equality and so on.

I wouldn't delve into the idea of matrix's and oppression so much in this regard as today we do not have a difficulty with our past. we are proggressive in that we learn from its mistakes and learn from our fortunes, moving on together in unison, together, better.

I respect our diverse histories, but i rather prefere to focus on reconcilliation and unifications rather than dividing and poking sticks into old wounds.

Im sure by now you are aware I am very much a big picture person.

I don`t wanna change the whole World

just my own little part, this is done by doing all we;ve said above

Open your eyes

very open thank you. just because others stoop to low levels doesnt mean i should or have to. thanks.

I just wanna show to stupid germs, who disrespect everything and everybody that if you play with fire you get burnt.

gandhi, mandela, king all did this without the measure you propose on a scale larger than you are talking about and succeeded by simple means (hard to keep to but simple principles)

stick to your principles. Its not easy i know but eventually it wins.

don`t tell me what tolerance is.

well, you obviously were not showing any so, yea, i felt i had to. even by your own admission, your not showing any tolerance your just reacting (and indeed preempting according to an earlier post of yours) to them.

rise above it and it will become nothing

History / Another german attack on John Paul II. [49]

they were just one name each againt bigger odds than you!

mother tersa (how many in india versus germany?)

Martin luther king (how many white americans vs germans")

gandhi (against an ENTIRE EMPIRE!)

Nelson mandela (another man against the odds!)

I could go on! these are just names that pop into my head and they stood up to far worse than you have to put up with and against MORE people than you have to deal with

so its just you that is keeping from reaching even a fraction of what they did.

just you.

True, but when one is surrounded by rats, must defend himself by any given choice

not true.

Pope John Paul II,

Gandhi

Mother Teresa

Martin Luther King

All succeeded being surrounded by WORSE than what you 'surrounded' by. By not resorting to the level you are talking about.

You were not here when they took my uncle to concentration camp

you were not here when the british took my fathers family and shot them for speaking irish.

its the same arguement. move onwards. move upwards.

they have attacked Polish Pope

how did they attack the polish pope. I want you to show a link. i do not accept that otherwise.
Pope JP2 was a legendary figure. did more for interfaith reconcilliation then any other pope AND he preactised tolereance

SO if you really loved him and respected him, show it by following your religious beliefs and the teachings of a better man than you or i.

Poles (Slavs)

point of order, not all poles are of slavic descent.

ideologicaly Germans aren`t even Europeans.

everybody get's to heaven no matter what"-attitude

i dont hold that attitude.

im talking about homosexuality being demonised for eg. while not my choice, its not anyones place to peeve into that part of someones private life if they wish. I mean there are news reports over the years (not so distant) of catholic groups breaking up and riotting at gay prode parades!

the sexist, belittlement of women. why cant they priests and say mass if they wish to follow the love of christ? did god or jesus say they couldn't? nope, it was men.

those two are just for eg.

liberalisation is required in many areas of the catholic church. like the book of genesis. if that wasn't liberalised i cant imagine what!

and Pope john paul was very good at realising steps towards many of these

So be it.

which shows you look down on other humans beings

I have great place to take example from. Just across the border.

again, a deflective arguement that fails to deal with the issue by plaing blame or justification for your actions on others, refusing to take responsibilty for your own actions

make fun of my beliefs

as in religious?...there the same beliefs!

So, the only way of defence is to attack stupid germs in stupid way

your only giving them reason then to continue.

but it will show that we are not afraid.

no it shows you have no tolerance. showing them your not afraid is to meet any slurs with dignified response that are well timed, appropriate and accurate. sticks and stones will only make those you mention feel superior and justified in what they say about you.

They are subhuman to me.

which shows you look down on other humans beings and this comes out in the way you deal with people, ie your attitude. I know many germans and work with many too and have yet to meet any of these you mention. but thats not the point - the point is yo say you have. but the way your approoaching it, it will only make them feel, as i said, that they are justiifed in what they think of you

and are if you view them to be subhuman! (which is racist) and fighting racism with racism is ultimately futile.

i wish we could have more liberal popes.

popes that dont think that women are incapable of saying mass for starters! i think they would be better suited as they have a maternal instinct that is required to be a shepard (not saying that men dont but just giving a reason why i think women should be allowed - also, why not? god or jesus never said they could not?) - that would be VERY liberal for the church - but would help in aiding its difficulties in getting new priests (i know poland still has a good recruitment there, good)

also, pope bene XVI recently declared that hell was in fact all about fire and brimstone (a conservative notion) - if hell exists, im sure it could be worse.

for eg. for centuries the church said that unbaptised babies never get into heaven. that they are in Limbo. it was the liberal PJPII said that limbo does not, in fact exist (which makes sense as god forgives all sins (inc orginal - which i dont belive exists but thats personal) and so the unbaptised child that dies before it even has a chance to be - gets into heavan now.

a progressive and modern church, that can interpret the meaning and spirt of christ.

IE it was held that genesis was FACT unquestionable. it was over the centuries that liberal thinking releagated this to a moral story and not to be taken as fact.

Pope John Paul II was fantastic also on inter-faith reconcilliation, and a role model for christians in there behavior of tolereance towards other religions

this is what i mean. do you get me now? im happy to answer any further questons

*sigh* here we go again

antigerman, it is not the best way to win a point by racism (this applies to germans who belittle poles - indeed anybody anywhere)

deal with the evidence and refrain from namecalling and below the belt hits (even if your opponet does so) this gives you an edge and way to hit home your point far more convincingly.

I would have to say that POPE JP2 was a legend!!! and has a fantastic reputation the world over! i wish we could have more liberal popes!

Love / The polish girl, and the life partnership [40]

just call and let her know

if your expected at 5, your there at 5 on the dot (if your early your in trouble for not letting now in advance for eating - if your late your in trouble for not calling and letting the food go cold! :))

be on time

tak, you can have friends - but you need to let her know everything - they worry. needlessly we'd argue, but they do.
