Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Oh dear, where has Ola123 gone? Has she sold out? Is she for sale? Such a lot of anger.
She seems to have lost the plot completely. What does she want? Can't think of any other country that just has one group of natives living there, except perhaps some remote island?

So very sad it is laughable. Perhaps she has been re admitted to the asylum?

On Saturday it was :"At least 36 people have been killed and more than 160 hurt in a suicide car bomb attack in the Iraqi city of Karbala, officials say."

Yesterday :"Ten policemen have been killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan, security sources say."

Last night:"At least 33 people have been trapped in a coal mine in central China, state media has reported."

As Eddy Izzard says :“And the National Rifle Association says that, "Guns don't kill people, people do,” but I think the gun helps, you know? I think it helps. I just think just standing there going, "Bang!" That's not going to kill too many people, is it? You'd have to be really dodgy on the heart to have that…”

Hath not a Jew eyes?
Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections,
passions, fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons,
subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed
and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If
you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we
not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you
in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility?
Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance
be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me
I will execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]
