News / What can Poland do to maintain its Ethnic Integrity? [118]

It seems a lot of you are unwilling to unchain yourselves from the handcuffs of Political Correctness.

I'm not chained by PC. I believe in what you think is P.C. But instead of throwing out a cop-out such as "You're just P.C." I think about it & argue about it. Cogito ergo sum.

There's nothing worse than people who just throw out that one-liner & for the rest say nothing. It's something invented by people like you to use so they wouldn't have to go into an arguement with anything that's just an inch left of the centre. Because it's way easier, like Kruk said, to stay outside of it & throw out populist remarks & blames at other races, religions, etc than actually taking responsability for their own shortcomings & the shortcomings of the "white" society.

Quite simply because it promises a racially pure homeland for all Whites.

A lost cause allready. Welcome in the 21th century.

Quoted:

In the United States, for example, most people who self-identify as African American have some European ancestors—in one analysis of genetic markers that have differing frequencies between continents, European ancestry ranged from an estimated 7% for a sample of Jamaicans to ∼23% for a sample of African Americans from New Orleans (Parra et al. 1998). Similarly, many people who identify as European American have some African or Native American ancestors, either through openly interracial marriages or through the gradual inclusion of people with mixed ancestry into the majority population. In a survey of college students who self-identified as white in a northeastern U.S. university, ∼30% were estimated to have <90% European ancestry (Shriver et al. 2003).

Given the choice of living with criminally-minded, low-brow s--t-skins, who wouldn't take the White National Option?

I'd prefer a society without criminally-minded, low-brow criminals, rapists, etc.. Who wouldn't!? What do you think.. you're going to solve all that by just having whites? All of the criminals will magically dissapear then or what? Oh great, hadn't thought of that.

In every society on the world there are people that think that this nation or that nation is made of thieves, criminials, etc.. Here I've heard from people who mistrust Poles & Romanians because they are all car thieves, criminals, etc.. Go over the border & that becomes someone else. In Poland I've heard people say the same about Russians & Slovaks.. Each country in the world has some scapegoats living nearby to put the blame on. As long as we don't have to think too much about our own *****************, everything is fine.

"Hell, that's the others"

And when i am reading such stupid thigs as some nazi guy called sparrow wrote, i am really ashamed. Go find girlfriend or some hobby, instead of writing such a ********. Hate is not an answer.

What!?

Eh!?

Wtf!?

Where ??

I'm on your side lol.. please read again :-)

News / What can Poland do to maintain its Ethnic Integrity? [118]

Yeah! You're totally right(!) Also, all those negros bring AIDS to Europe. They also try to turn our children into homosexuals.

On top of that they have a really weak fashion sense. I mean taupe? Creme? 3/4 length trousers? Hmpft! That's like so 2003.

To solve this problem, first of all, all negroids must be arrested & bleached from head to toe. Only then they can be allowed to roam our streets again. (and turn our children gay) Also they have to wear an item on their sleeve that makes them recognisable to everyone.

May I suggest a Hello Kitty scarf?



Very recognisable & lights up in the dark.

4 ReAl YaLl !11!!!!1!!

Thank you.

P.S. Yes, this is irony.

P.P.S. Please reply & tell me I'm politically correct, I can't hardly wait.

Love / Is She Doomed to be miserable and have her marriage fail? [41]

What is the deal with Polish women cheating in serious relationships? I could be wrong, but it seems to happen disproportionately.

Cheating happens in all nationalities & I doubt it happens more in Poland. Since you are reading a Polish forum & all the cheating stuff relates to Poles.. you could get that idea.

News / Are there any other countries that Polish immigrants are going to? [70]

You're absolutely correct Witek, it's much easier & better for Poles to go work in the UK/Ireland, more bucks, closer to home & more work. But the USA still remain a popular destination because of "American Dream" & the big Polish community over there

I know cause I applied for a green card to America, I have the Belgian citizenship but they won't allow me to participate because I was born in Poland. :(

Qualification to apply for DV Lottery

* Not all countries , citizens are allowed.
Citizen from certain countries who has already sent more then 50,000 immigrants (green cards holders) in last 5 years.

For DV-2007, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply because they sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the previous five years:

CANADA, CHINA (mainland-born), COLOMBIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, EL SALVADOR, HAITI, INDIA, JAMAICA, MEXICO, PAKISTAN, PHILIPPINES, POLAND, RUSSIA, SOUTH KOREA, UNITED KINGDOM (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and VIETNAM. Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible.

I know for sure the USA & Canada. Because for a couple of years Poles haven't been eligible to obtain a green card because of the huge influx of Poles.

As far as other countries in Europe.. only the UK & Ireland have fully opened their borders for Eastern-european workers. But other countries have said they will in the future.. that should get Poles moving again

Oh that's great. But I don't know how good you are with Illustrator/PS I can take out colours, resize, etc.. myself What I'd really need is someone who could draw me one from scratch, something that's still recognisable as a Polish Orzel but without too much detail. In black/white :)

Life / Looking for high resolution "orzel" [17]

Yeah, this is way better, this is usable thanks. The others aren't because I need to print this & cut out the black parts. The part of my guitar where I will spray pain it is only approx. 10 by 10 cm so I have to resize the picture, if it's too detailed I have to start cutting out tiny bits & it will be a mess. I'll try with yours, thanks. :)

No, they're too hard to cut out but thanks. I think I'm gonna have to ask someone to design one with more simplistic lines so it's easy to cut out. Also it has to be a bigger resolution :(

News / Poland's overall view on the US? [38]

Quoting: Matyjasz
He’s just being used by American government to keep American society in constant fear.

And to make things worse, it seems that every single person who makes a terrorist threat against the US or attempts an act of terrorism claims that they were sent by bin laden. I don't know if it's true but that's what they usually claim. The US gets terrorist threats all the time, for public gatherings, sports stadiums, parades, buildings...

Al-Qaida as such doesn't exist anymore like it did during 9/11 or on the bombing of that embassy in Kenya a year or 2 before or the bombing of that American ship somewhere around that time-frame too.

It's not centrally coordinated anymore. The terrorists use the name as what it stands for: Bin Laden, fear, terrorism, panic, extremism, media attention, etc..

Any terrorist can make a "branch" & call it al Qaida.

Al Quaida

News / Poland's overall view on the US? [38]

I think Bush's original plan was to go into Iraq, take out the leaders, and allow the people to freely set up a new government.

Altough that sounds like a noble plan, I feel that if that was really the case he would've just said so. Why did he have to go on about WMD's & 9/11 as a reason to invade Iraq then? That boggles me.

Desert Storm, which was led by Bush's father, was a quick war and it just seemed like this war would go as smoothly. However, they faced situations that they weren't expecting.

That war was so different. It wasn't really about Iraq but about Quweit. Iraq invaded Quweit for it's oil so the US & it's allies went into Quweit to push the Iraqis back and to protect US ally Saudi-Arabia which was fearing being invaded by Saddam as well. That war was waged with battleships shooting long-rage missiles, bombardments & little infantry alltogether.

They didn't push through to Baghdad, altough they promissed Kurdish leaders that they would support them in case of an uprising. So the Kurds started an uprising in the hopes of triggering a coup. American support didn't came & Saddam crushed the Kurds resulting in thousands of deaths & refugees. Kurds have mixed feelings about Americans, they're happy they removed Saddam but are afraid to trust them.

If they leave it would mean handing the country over to them.

If Americans leave Iraq will most likely descend into a civil war. If they don't more Americans are bound to be killed by insurgents. It's a lose-lose situation. :(

News / Poland's overall view on the US? [38]

We rebuild their cities. We have contractors kidnapped and killed trying to put the pieces back together for them. Soldiers are there protecting them the best they can. Setting up checkpoints into their cities to protect THEM! Troops are greeted by groups of children that end up being terrorists themselves.
I don't understand much about the war and what is really going on but I have met soldiers, my cousin one of them, and they do their best to protect. I have heard the stories and seen pictures. I think the US is bound to be attacked no matter what we do.

At the expense of sounding cynical. That's the least you can do after bombing them. I'm sure the soldiers you met are trying their best to rebuild it there, but after 5 years it becomes really simple for the average Iraqi to make up an opinion.

It's all about every day life. They didn't have free elections with Saddam, but at least they had water, food, electricity, a job, cultural passtime, sports, their children went to school & they could go outside to the market without the fear of being bombed. Now all of that is gone but they have free elections. Millions have fled the country allready.

The People of Iraq hated Saddam, they were afraid of him, he was a tyran. But at least they could lead their lives. In our Western eyes it's easy to say they are better off now in a democracy. But if I imagine myself in their place, I'd rather live without voting than not living at all.

And as things stand now, there's haven't been any advencements the past 4 years.

I suppose being in the US when they attacked, I know the fear that was brought on. I remember that day perfectly well. I visited New York shortly after and although I was not directly efftected by the attack, my cousin was deployed shortly after. He will be able to sleep in his own bed this Sunday after 7 months.
Since we are the Super Power who out there is going to worry about our children and interests if we don't?

"They"? If I didn't know any better I'd say you've been watching too much Fox News. Iraq didn't plan the 9/11 attacks. Usama Bin Laden & his al-Qaida did. That's why the U.S.A. invaded Afghanistan.

Altough many in Europe were against this as well, I must say that I "felt" that a majority of Europeans agreed that the U.S.A. had to strike back in Afghanistan. That's where the attacks were planned & where Bin-Laden resided.

Saddam Hussein had absolutely nothing to do with that. It doesn't matter how much you despise the man, he hadn't anything to do with it. Saddam Hussein was far from being a militant moslim! He had a huge collection of wines, wasn't afraid of a prostitute or 2 and lots of other Western novelties that'd be condamned by militant muslims.

Iraq was officialy attacked because of WMD's. I'm almost afraid to ask.. but.. Where are those anyway? Right, there are none. Bush was quick to admit that there weren't any and he even stated that even if he'd knew beforehand there weren't any, he'd have attacked anyway!

streaming.americanprogress.org/ThinkProgress/2005/invasion.320.240.mov .htm

So what was this war about again? 9/11 ? no WMD? no Why? Seriously. Was it all to remove a dictator that opresses his people? Altough that's a noble cause & Americans are generally noble people, I think it's very "picky" (to say the least) to remove one dictator, but support an other. So why?

Geo-political control. Being able to have a bastion of power everywhere in the world. And you can't do anything about it, since that's what superpowers do. That's what the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese did for hundreds of years. That's what Europeans did with African colonies & it's what Russia & the USA did the last century. A superpower must remain a superpower through geo-political control.

As far as your first question goes: I live in both Poland & Belgium, I travel back & forth for my job. The general attitude towards Americans before Iraq was one of "Well, they are crazy capitalists, but hey, we don't hate em. Be welcome."

Of course, after Iraq that drastically changed. The days where we looked up at your country when we saw a film or a skyline of San Francisco are basically gone.

Altough Poles used to have a more favourable opinion of Americans than other Europeans that is now slowly fading away.

In 2002 79% of Poles had a favourable opinion of the USA, in 2005 that's only 62%

To the question "Does US foreign policy consider other's intrests?" only 13% of Poles answered yes.

These numbers are from this survey about the foreigner's views of the USA & Bush

Life / Looking for high resolution "orzel" [17]

Hey,

One of my hobbies is building & rebuilding electric guitars. For my new project I'm gonna rebuild an old Fender into a Polish flag. Top half white & bottom red. I'd like to have a nice "orzel" on it too.

Basically I'll cut out it out as black & white stencil, cut out the black parts & spray paint it. Kinda like this

Now my problem is, the eagles I find on the web are all too complicated to transform in black/white & cut out on a small surface. Basically I'm looking for something along the lines of this: biblioteka.info/saskatoon/orzel.JPG

A simple version that looks like the one on the flag. Anyone with Illustrator skills or a good print that can be scanned? Or a good pic from the net?

I'll post the finished guitar pics online of course. :-)

Thanks for the help.
