Language / Pan/Pani...usage changes for case distiction? [23]

Excellent Piorun & pomorzanin.
Thanks a million.

I'm just at the Genitive Singulat stage of things so Dative, Locative and Vocative are not necessary yet but I'm intrigued.

When are INSTRUMENTAL, ACCUSATIVE and GENITIVE the appropriate case to use?

Love / Are Polish women "PRUDE"?!? [24]

According to reality, men are thousand times more into gossips, and gossip much more than women do, it has been prooved ;)

Nonsense.
Men discuss.
Women gossip.

Huge difference.

UK, Ireland / Here comes the Anti-Immigration marches.... [114]

Killinghome, North Lincolnshire.
TOTAL have sold a power station to an Italian company who have imported most of their workers from outside the UK. This lead toto pickets protesting outside the plant. The next day similar demonstrations took place outside other power stations and the police had to stop hundreds of angry Brits from driving to Immingham to protest at that power station.

Sympathy strikes are being arranged in several area's of British industry.
Less law abiding Brits are planning more drastic action.

This is a bad time to be a foriegn worker in Britain. Scapegoats are being looked for by many different groups of men who are afraid for their jobs and their futures.

The highest paid workers I met in Poland were English speakers (Australian and English) working in the financial sector.
They were both doing a course in beginners Polish.
Neither needed any language other than English for their jobs but they had met Polish women and wanted to learn the language for that reason.

One of them had lived in Krakow for 8 years and spoke about as much Polish as I did!

Many Brits are complacent when it comes to language tho it is a fault of the system as much as anything else.

Not just BRITS. English speakers in general.
The world speaks English so there is less motivation to learn.

The jobs that go to foreigners are the low skilled jobs so a second language is not necessary.

We need millionaires who are not trying to become billionaires by importing cheap labour.

The rich should be happy to employ the people who want to stay in this country. Not just save evry penny to buy a house in Gdansk or Peshawar or Kurdistan.

These employment savings are short term when the consumers are losing their jobs and their ability to consume!

Britain has enough wealth for every subject (who is willing to work) to have a good standard of living but employment agencies have imported millions of people with far lower expectations.

I like the idea if a 'United States of Europe' but I'm sick of Asian and African new-comers who have no love for me or my culture.

I'd round them up and put them on the first ship out of Europe.

Some would say we have closed the barn door long after the horse has bolted.

They'd be exaggerating if they even said that!
We have not closed 'the barn door' in the slightest.

I agree with much of what Enoch Powell predicted.
This is not a Muslim country.
It is a Christian and Post-Christian secular state.

The 3rd Worlders who flood here are used to a standard of living that Brits haven't had to tolerate since before WW2. They lower the expectations of employers towards their employee's. Of landlords towards tennents.

They import illnesses that were eradicated decades ago. And they think we are inferior for our lack of belief in Allah.

Three generations it has taken to produce home grown suicide bombers and women who dress more strictly Islamic than their cousins on the streets of Pakistan.

They are also behind a huge majority of the heroin being imported and distributed in this country.
