Food / Polish beer-match food [13]

What food goes best with the Polish beer?

I like your attitude farrah.
Straight to the heart of the matter.
Grilled Polish sausage with beer after snowboarding is a personal favorite.
I thought Polish were better known for vodka drinking, in with case there are different foods to go with the drink, such are pickled herrings.

Language / Sayings in English that seem odd in Polish? [22]

This isn't a saying, I just never looked at the word before I was teaching it to Poles several years ago, the word is butterfly, simple enough until a student exclaimed butter fly????

Life / The Polish Flag Is White, with red tape! [32]

The Polish Flag Is White, with red tape!

Great title by the way.
Anyway, I went to register in the town where I live, no problem but only fr three months, I had to go to Krakow to register before the three months was up, grand.

So I had just under a month left and I went into the office, I was told I couldn't have my registration done cause it took them a month to do and I did not have a month left on my temp one. I get furious with this kind of idiocy but I spotted the 13 stamps in front of the woman and just left.

I had it worse in another country but still gotta hate those offices...

So long as they stamp the form I do not care what she may think.
Actually a good one is to go to offices just before closing, they cut the red tape sometimes when they want to go home.

Life / Antisemitism in Poland; is it safe for a Jew to live in Poland? [193]

s there a problem with anti-semitism in Poland, is it safe for me to go there without any fear?

Hello alangleben,
If you'd have asked me this a year ago I would have said "not at all".
I live in a smallish town in Malopolska and I was horrified to have heard there was a Nazi march in our town square. I went to the local museum and there used to be a huge Jewish population in the town. The Nazi's don't call themselves nazis but sh+t is still sh+t to me. They march on a particular day because it is when a Jewish guy got burned out of his house. One guy got arrested for doing the Nazi salut

I would like to know if there are any other towns with this sh+t going on?

Point one country in Europe without antisemitism.

You are obviously not the real McCoy, cause there were never any Jews in Ireland to be antisemitic against.

but also we have reborning jewish community.

Yes, I must agree, except for the march in my town and some of the crap on this site, I do find that Jews are celebrated in everything from food to music and in most paintings.

alangleben

My previous comment is true but I would imagine that it is very uncommon.
This is a magnificent country and I am sure you will enjoy it

That is manipulation of facts.
My enemy's enemy is my friend. The Germans were fighting the British.

I would like to know if there are any other towns with this sh+t going on?

I meant in Poland.

News / Thank you Ireland... EUCCP [81]

I am going to be following this one.
I know democracy is mob rule but I still believe in it.
If there is another vote, which there seems to be, what happens if the answer in "No" again? do we get kicked out?

And if it is a "yes" vote what does that tell you? to keep having vote's until you get the "correct" answer, either way it looks bad, but I will read up more.

There is very little antisemitism in Ireland but it does exist.

I know very little about Judaism, except Jesus was a Jew, we never had any Jewish influence or people growing up. We had very little of anything, ha ha ha. I would think most people in Ireland would know more about Islam.

I haven't heard about anything like that. The real problem in Poland are football hools. But in this case it doesn't matter if you are white, black, polish, irish or jewish. It's better to stay away from them.

I hope so, I was thinking of starting a thread asking people have they seen similar things in thier town.
The young Nazis that marched in our town, were not from our town at all, they got a permit to march too. This means they are organised.

And the Hooligans, well yeah that is (mostly) different again

Feedback / Editing topic title by Admins or Moderators [10]

Editing topic title by Admins or Moderators

If your gonna edit the tittle could you not sex it up a bit?
Instead of "My Polish gilrfriend cheated are all Polish people like this", you could change it to "My Polish girlfriend cheated with three of her girlfriends, I have pics".

A bit Jerry Springer I admit but it would pull the punters in.
Obviously this is just kidding to lighten the mood, the forum gets serious when not needed (and not serious enough when needed)
Vote me for Mod,

Life / Poles need to learn to save! [73]

I think the recent rise in cost for rubbish disposal is helping people realise that recycling is a better alternative.
Also I know a woman in America who uses paper plates for each daily meal. Are there more people who do this heinous act?
People in rich countries do seem to waste more. But really if anyone wants to see the environmentally friendly country go to Norway.

Life / Antisemitism in Poland; is it safe for a Jew to live in Poland? [193]

Comes as a real surprise to me Sean as i was brought up in a Jewish household in Dublin and my mother thought the nazi bombs that rained on Terenure in 1941 were directed solely at her the housekeeper.

How would what I said come as a surprise? because you were brought up in a Jewish house in Dublin? that does not make sense, there were very very very few Jews in Ireland, can you not agree about that?.

And as for your mother thinking it was the Nazi's out to get her, fair enough, if I were a Jew during WW2 I would have been paranoid too because people were out to get Jews. But it is the general belief about those air raids were that the Nazis had mistaken the Irish East coast for the British west coast.

As regards antisemitism in Ireland there was a small outbreak in Limerick in 1904.

What? what are you trying to say by showing this? a "small outbreak in 1904", I am sure If I search the web I can find a person from Kuala Lumpur that was picked on once by Irish people through out history.

Today Irelands Jewish community has dwindled to a few thousand or less as the young have to travel to find co-religionist partners.

This even proves my point, A Jew can not find another Jew to marry and have kids with because there are and were very very very few Jews in Ireland.

And any one from Kuala Lumpur who has been attacked by any Irish person in history, please note that my comment is just a co-incidence.

I think people need to stop being so serious, some people are Jews, so what, going marching around shouting things is too much trouble for such an unworthy cause. There are plenty of causes worth the effort, live and let live.

Yes, but you said "there were never any Jews in Ireland" which was plain wrong.

It was not "plain wrong" right there were a very very very small community, so small in fact that even in the link you sent it states

at what point does it stop being a community and just become a group of people who happen to be Jewish

Yes a very small community but in no sense 'none ever' as you claimed.

I already agreed that there was a very very small amount of Jews. what's the matter?
Anyway someone else already posted a list of Jews in Irish History...

They're not being disliked and mistrusted by everyone? I've simply asked you if you or anyone else should have a reason to hate someone you don't really know?

Is that not fear, some of the stuff I read on this forum could easily be translated to "I do not know what is going on, I am afraid".

We're all different individuals,

I'm different like everybody else....hhuuummm..??

this given fact of life certainly makes life more interesting doesn't it?

Viva la deference!!!

Life / Antisemitism in Poland; is it safe for a Jew to live in Poland? [193]

although normally we have 3 or 4 Jewish TDs in the Dail (Irish parliament)...so in the corridors of power in Ireland Jews are usually massively over-representated...by a couple of thousand percent considering their demographic

Really? I really have never heard that before. But to what ends? I eman what does it mean?
Members of a certain religious belief have posts in all sorts of places.

Life / Antisemitism in Poland; is it safe for a Jew to live in Poland? [193]

Of course we are using generalizations...it's THE polish, THE germans, THE irish, THE dutch...why not THE Jews.

So you speak for ALL germans? I doubt it. I certainly do not speak for all Irish people.

It's a sentiment shared by many on this board.. there are many threads about this on PF.

Yes I know, but BB is quit sensible and puts forth good debates and back them up. Unlike a lot of the senseless rants of fools

He's German, so he can't get mad?

What are you talking about, he is German, so what?

I do not understand you, of course if he were Chinese, English or Polish it would still be a sweeping statement. I think you are fishing in the wrong pond with that one.

I will bow out here now!

Excuse me, I did not mean to do that, just usually you put forward debatable theories and usually well thought out, that's all.
