Life / Is there anything worse than Polish rap? [148]

Personally, I view rap negatively. Whether US, Polish, German, etc...The image portrayed by those who rap is counter to anything productive. They come off as punks. What impression do you get when someone is singing about killing cops, dissing rival gangs and bangin their ho's. I hope rap goes the way of break dancing.

I am also against the belief that expressing yourself is always good. Freedom of speech is a given right. But...don't expect people not to react to what you say and do. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions and who they are trying to portray.

UK, Ireland / Unemployed due to Polish who work in the UK [126]

I would gladly take whatever Polish who would care to move to Reading, PA. The current influx of folks in my town is Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. They have a low standard of living, trash up the town and 80% of their children have high hopes of being in a gang one day. On a positive note, hardly any of them are specialized enough to affect my area of the job market. They can gladly take all of the manual labor and grocery store/fast food restaurant jobs. My town is becoming a true ghetto.

History / Polish Armaments/military equipment [8]

No business proposal. I have a few Polish flare pistols and a training airgun I would like identified. I have no idea which organizations used them, or what their model is. To be exact. There have been some recent imports into my country:

1. Predom-Lucznik Wz. 1970 4.5mm air pistol. It is suggested that these were used as military trainers. I'm just looking for information on who used said equipment.

2. I have two models of flare pistol used by the Polish. One I believe may be based off of a Russian design, though the model eludes me (perhaps Model of 1944), and the other is though to be a MOdel 78, based on H&K's design for the GErman military.

Australia / How long it will take to post a package from Poland to Australia [4]

Not sure if this is much help. I have bought items off folks in poland on quite a few occasions. Some packages took a lengthly time to arrive. Worst case scenario is a month and a half (in my experience).

News / GERMAN NEWSPAPER DEFENDS POLAND, KACZYNSKIS - BRAVO GERMANS! [99]

Just to add my non European perspective. It is not that one country hates the residents of another. It is the countries population that is unhappy that they are receiving peoples from another country. I can see that happening here in the US too. I never had an opinion concerning Puerto Rican people or Lithuanian people….until I had to live in communities bustling with them. That is when I began to form opinions and biases. Not to say it is the same in Europe, but here, everyone wants to bring their cultures and way of living. No one wants to conform to the local society. That is when negative opinions form.

Life / Is there anything worse than Polish rap? [148]

The musical aspect of rap is not a problem. Everybody is entitled to listen to whatever they choose. Some may think it is terrible, some may think it is not. Hell, some people like music box tunes. Where the problem does lay is in the image of rap. There is an odd phenomenon. For some reason, some of the folks who listen to Rap have to start dressing funny. They sag their pants. Loose the ability to center the bill of their hats on their heads. They start wearing shirts significantly larger than their body frame and feel the need to wear an excessive amount of gold. Their speech alters too. They start talking like they grew up in the ghetto (even if they were raised in the suburbs). They start thinking that the man is trying to keep them down. They start viewing their music as an expression of that depressed life. It’s as if the image has to come with the music. So the question is…what came first? Did you think rap was ‘da-bomb’ and next moved on to dressing and acting funny? Or did you start dressing and acting funny, then felt the music came hand in hand with your new image…so you started listening to it? The cultural phenomenon that has swept the world is not a productive one. It will entertain you, no argument. You will like listening to it. Sadly, the message it brings is setting back our communities. Counter productivity sells, so it’s here to stay.

OK, I'm suprised no one attacked my post. I am also suprised by the Polish rapper in the You Tube video....Though I despise Rap, I can recognize what is good and what isn't. He has an interesting look and didn't sound that bad....now I feel sick for saying it.

News / Black Immigrant living in Poland infects dozens of women with HIV [174]

I thought I’d chime in here. I do agree that some of the posts here are racey in nature and went a bit overboard, but….what has become of our world? Someone can not even speak of another race without folks rushing in pointing their fingers screaming RACISM!!! Truth be told, there are plenty of problems faced by blacks that we don’t want in our communities. The world has spent 99% of it’s time being intolerant of other races, now in the last 30 years or so, it has become un-PC. How long will this last before everyone goes back to hating each other? Remember, to be prejudice is to prejudge, most of what is being said is after the fact. I wouldn’t go as far as saying the women had it coming. This is unfair. I wouldn’t sleep with a black guy, but that doesn’t mean someone else can’t. It is up to a person’s preference. Will a certain stigma follow them? Probably yes. Here in the states, when a white woman sleeps with a black guy, everyone remembers. You can see her years later, the first thing that comes to mind is “Isn’t she the girl who slept with a black guy?” Personally, I am not a racist, I am a culturalist. I just despise other people that come into my country and ruin it with inferior cultures. It’s not the race, it’s how people live that sets me off.
