History / More Revision of Historical Fact in Ynet News Israel (Poles engaged in slaughter of Jews?) [72]

it might well have been one from my mums own personal library. she did have a polish cleaner who was typically stupid and just the sort of person who would drop things down the john

now i dnt want to make you uncomfortable, but i have been wondering why, given that you come from a country renownd for its latent homophobia, did you decide to buy a beard that made you look such a woofter?

right. im off for ice cream with the rest of the kiddies

It's another time your refering to my beard

Or your just jelous

i see youre making progress too, although i suspect you are just copying me

Life / Smoking ban - will this be coming to Poland like other EU countries? [183]

Taxes will always be found to fund what is essential.

lol - interesting article in the papers today about just how much more we are now paying in tax thanks to gordon and his stealthy scammings. yup, you can trust labour to always find ways to tax us further

I know even better option, no public funds at all for health problems of smokers caused by their behavior with full awarenesses of the consequences.

this is a very feeble arguement given the level of tax contributions smokers make throughout their (often shortened) life span.

whilst i dont often agree with dazza, in this case he is right.

a more sensible question might be to ask where the tax shortfall will be made up once tax revenue from ex-smokers decreases significantly

But isn't this the gist of racism, anti-semitism and homophobia?

of course it is. we all form preferences and prejudices based on our interpretations of distinctive characteristics, regardless of what context they are applied to. on what we are allowed to express our prejudices, and how we chose to espress them, are governed by many factors. as you are no doubt aware. but this does not preclude the fact that both the characteristics and prejudices exist

its the same process of generalisation that allows polish women to be placed upon a pedistal. only a fool would apply their characteristics across the board. but only a fool would deny the characteristics do infact exist

Learn not to stereotype, generalize, accuse in the aggregrate, and slander.

if you havent learnt that generalisations can be made and stereotypes do exist then you are spectacularly niave. its a simple approach referred to as 'segmentation' in marketing terms. someone has pigeonholed you

we all fall into categories, some of which have positive attributes and some negative. being concious of this encourages selfawareness and the ability step back in observation. it also enables critical assessment

as with many poles, but by no means all, you are unable to see this despite it having been pointed out enlessly to you and your like on this forum. i am fortunate because it provides me with an endless source of amusement

thanks for the laugh

most people know that there are racists, antisemites and homophobes in every country.

the point about the polish is the lengths they go to to deny it. if poles on the forum held their hand up and said 'yes, poland has a problem with racism, antisemitism and homophobia' then this might go some way to reduce the animosity towards them. but of course that never occured to you. did it. then we have to conclude that some polish posters dont see any problem with being racist, antisemetic homophobes.

Life / Dont generalise: negative posts I have read about Polish people [8]

dont listen too much to the negative posts, but equally, dont believe everything positive you read either. there are people who post here that hate the poles and all they stand for. and there are people who look at poland through rose tinted glasses. and remember that visiting a country on holiday doesnt show you what the country is really like. you have to live in a country to see it for what it really is... with the good and the bad
