Language / Accent marks in Polish language [22]

Hehehe, my Polish friends laughed when I said, 'ona ma ładną dupę'. I accented on purpose but they said that they just don't say it that way.

Exactly right, mafketis. Toilet paper wasn't even guaranteed at times.

As for language, well, Poles learn English in school for quite some years. Brits, for the most part, don't learn Polish and still we are expected to speak it in administrative centres. Natives will speak their own unless they are prepared to invest the time in understanding others and we all know about the rat race.

History / Are Poles the ones who understand Russians better than anyone? [35]

Try and make the case that Poles understand better than Belarussians, Ukrainians and the Baltic States for example. They have had a wealth of experience in dealing with Russia too. Why do you think there are international experts on these issues?

Life / Swine flu vaccinations taking place in Poland? [52]

Greg is spot on! It's not an issue here. There was an isolated case but the woman was quickly quarantined and nothing more has been said on the matter.

Stop feeding the pockets of greedy pharmaceutical companies.

UK, Ireland / Who can keep right to speak its own language in UK [22]

Everyone has a right to use a viable and used means of communication. For example, I'll be damned if sb says that Gaelic cannot be used. Dialect, as a form of language, should also be allowed to thrive.

You have Wielkopolska, £ódź. Only one part of Poland is great ;) ;) ;)

Wow, nearly 2.5 years later a response comes. Będzin has a nice castle, that was the highlight of my short stay there.

As long as it doesn't descend into an international farce.

As Szarly said, the man was brought to justice. The courts followed the relevant evidential requirements.

OK, it was a British conspiracy, was it? Right, let's blame the entire Polish nation for what that weirdo Tomczak did, shall we? How irrational!

Obama is just there to make the right noises at the right time. Iran is for the riling and I have a hunch that the US was behind the recent Jundullah (Sunni radical terrorists) killings of the Iranian National Guard. There will be reprisals according to Ahmedinejad. It is this sparking of conflict that needs to stop.

News / NEW PATRIOT MISSILES FOR POLAND [178]

You won't see me denying that. The EU is every bit as bad. Still, it has been Mitchell going there to jerk off Netanyahu and lap up their hospitality. Either redistribute the West Bank, as even Israelis go along with, or get out and stop making noises. This goes for any diplomat that goes there.

Low culture? Sledz wouldn't agree with you, neither would Wahldo. Scotland, if I can try and be objective, has one of the richest cultures in the world for such a small country.

Obama has been talking about a 2-state solution for a long time but how does he propose to do that when:

1) Netanyahu's hardliners will increase settlements, not freeze their construction

2) Hamas will never realise the state of Israel

Both of the above are preconditions for peace discussions

Come on, genius, whip out that crystal ball and show me the impossible. How?

GB is staying out of it in cowardly fashion! We didn't vote on the Goldstone Report but at least we weren't against it like you bought toads.

Scrappy, you know jack about Scotland so don't even pretend. The SAS was Scottish and we'd take the Navy Seals or DELTA Force to the cleaners.

What should be Tusk doing, accepting missiles to befuddle Putin?

These meetings have to stop. They are a complete waste of fuel ;) ;) Sorry, thinking Scottish here, thinking green too. It's a horrible thing to say but these people conducting negotiations are wastes of space and need a shot in the head. They are NOT striving for peace and they are a slap in the face to Palestinians. Feck off and stay out.

News / NEW PATRIOT MISSILES FOR POLAND [178]

How do you feel Tusk is handling Putin? True, the cabal is at work ;) ;)

Israel, LOL. That was a good comment! Letting the Palestinians be trodden on is just wrong and Obama isn't helping. Sending Mitchell across is getting nothing done. Either do sth or get out, simple!

News / NEW PATRIOT MISSILES FOR POLAND [178]

If that is Polish paranoia then I can go along with it. The West has the potential to spark sth but I think those days are behind us as long as Obama is in power. McCain would have been an unmitigated disaster. He'd've been in Iran and winding Putin up.

So Russia would have to be at 100% to beat Poland, is that what you are saying?

Sorry, that's a blunder from an EU major. 1951, I got confused. I've done speeches on it in my Hons and LLM years so my apologies, just a slip.

Crow has covered this enough. I could quite literally go on and on about their meddling in the Balkans but this has been covered elsewhere. PM me if you really wanna know.

Sokrates, gotcha! I thought Poland had enough to defeat Russia alone without any further weaponry. Were you lying? LOL That's what you were saying. Stop underestimating Russia, they'd make short work of Poland.

Poland bore the brunt of 2 psychos. It would have been interesting to conjecture how it would have been without those 2 wackos. Would Himmler have pursued such a maniacal ideology with such fervour and zeal? Would another Georgian/Russian have risen up? Who knows!?

Europe has been building itself up since the death of Stalin really. His death in 1953 saw the formation of the ECSC and then, 4 years later, the EEC. Germany made a mess in the Balkans but America had a large hand in that too. Lord Carrington as the British representative urged caution but his words went unheeded. It was those NATO hawks from Germany and America that precipitated and expedited the war in Yugoslavia.

Poland has every right to pursue arms but I don't think it's the right maneuver at this time.

Exactly, it wouldn't have anything to do with Poland being prime pickings for being carved up by 2 nutjobs.

Sorry, when the Polish spirit is defined by animosity towards Russia, how can I expect to have a rational debate? I've read Ascherson and other leading authors and the fights Piłsudski had with the Ruskies.

Your problem is that you live in the past. Are you gonna live your whole life as a paranoid guy?

They restored order. Did you see anything like on the scale of the Balkans screwup by the EU or the invasion of Iraq and occupation? Russia took care of business and got out after a bit of time.

Sinister elements will always be at work, Sok. Relax!

Why should Russia let America have pipeline potential everywhere? Read up on Brightest Corp and Carl Schwarz.

I know as much as I need to, Sok. They can be shady and not to be trusted but don't be too alarmed.

Georgia was the aggressor. What part of that don't you understand?

You are living in the past. Snap out of it.

Why can't you let them work it out? Believe you me, it is being worked out. Why does Poland have to get involved?

I know Putin's history, yes, but I don't see any invasion. I don't encourage paranoia. We all have histories, some darker than others. This is the present.

Comedy for sure. Some of it is for older people, e.g One Foot in the Grave, but most of it is pretty funny.

Scrappy, please read the interview that cheehaw posted. Yes, he could have lied but he tells you what happened in Georgia. There were American trainers in there. There was American weaponry. Saakashvili met with Cheney, I wonder why. I also know a Polish soldier who was based there and he confirmed an American presence.

He also drew a correct parallel between Kosovo and S Ossetia and Abkhazia.

He wants the Ukraine back? Prove it!

I'm not criticising, I'm discussing.
