News / Polish Election Poll (according to PolishForums) [237]


I have to admit I don't know much about Dziennik, if it has a bias or what the reputation of its polls are. If anyone has a link to PGB I would be grateful for it. Thanks.

Err.......Polish restaurant has a Polish night ????

Admittedly not the sort of humour that I like.

Life / Redheads in Poland - How many? [95]


Gave it a go and all I got was they used to be burnt in medieval Poland and that they are supposed to bring good luck.

Worldwide prevelance is 1%, highest prevelance is in Scotland/Ireland at 10%.

Law / Today's Zloty - 1.00 GBP = 5.25471 PLN [29]

I think this trend will continue but its double edged for the Polish economy.
If I were an investor I would see it as a good sign overall.

UK, Ireland / A polish magazine from doncaster that might help learners [8]

Another freebie is Glos Polski, available in most delis and shops. Its aimed solely at the Polish market so not much good if you dont read Pl.

UK, Ireland / Need flat for 2 weeks in Edinburgh [32]


No. Even £25 a night would be hard to find. Does it have to be Edinburgh ? Nearby towns are a little cheaper.

Congratulations Craig, not being funny but if you type "wedding" in to the search box ( top right of screen )you'll get heaps of pointers. Good luck.

Yep, I've come across this one. I found it quite unusual as its usually when people are leaving the house you would give them a kiss.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]


I was told it was because they had weapons of mass destruction that were deployable within 45 minutes.
So why are the troops there ?

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]

John - Thanks for the reply. I respect the fact that you have given a reasoned response rather than the all too familiar gung ho.

I think the WMD was a red herring and a poor excuse but it fitted the bill at the time.
I agree with you regarding control of the global oil markets and see this as the real threat from Russia ( I have posted here on the Gazprom situation in Eu before )

To save a long and rambling post, I believe the US policy towards the Middle East is all wrong and heavy handed, I would have preferred the route of financial investment and diplomacy rather than the use of force, which is counterproductive when misappropriated.

I have not been to Iraq myself but have close people who have been there a couple of times ( doing a similair job to yourself ) which has shaped my opinion on why the troops shouldn't have been there in the first place and should get out as soon as they can.

OK, welcome to the first bit of responsibility, it may be something you have to get used to. You need to have a chat with your girlfriend, what does she feel, what does she need from you just now.

What about the women that dont need counselling ?
There are two sides to this argument, I dont think that anyone can pre-judge. Its different for every couple.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]


Didn't get the second UN resolution. USA say they didn't need it - Kofi Anan et al disagree.


The USA have admitted that they use torture ( rendition flights etc ) although they are now questioning whether it has any real benefits.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]

I wouldn't blame the troops. They just do what the politicians ask of them. The politicians are supposed to represent the majority. The problem with Iraq is that this didn't happen.

The services are only responsible for how they conduct themselves in doing their job.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]


Neocon smears, as far as I am aware no evidence of this has been provided. The only link was the Oil for Food programme.


Different resolutions for different things. The ones I wrote about were the ones required which would have provided a "mandate" for the war that the USA didn't have, as such, the war is "illegal".


I am sure many have been, a lot more will come out of Gitmo I'm sure.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]

The US are supposed to be part of the UN and act within it.


USA tearing down hospitals and bridges ? Who bombed these in the first place ?


Its a widely accepted that the rendition flights are used by the US to carry out torture in countries like Morocco and Egypt. Scotland have now stopped them using their airports for these.


Was Oil for food not brought about by the US backed sanctions?


I dont know what point you are making, Kofi is a serial rapist ? When Iraq and rape are
mentioned I think of Haditha.


I would say I have a balanced view ( but then I would ). Why would you believe one but not the other?


The USA do, its called Israel.

I have no doubt the US army is, for the most part professional, but what about all the "private security contractors".

Are you sure about this? If there definately is no feelings this could be a good thing,if there are feelings tho........
Either way, hopefully you will have some friends with you for support.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]


Disagreeing on Iraq doesn't make me hate Americans.


No, "slamming" the administrations policy, yes.


Huh ?


Oh.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]


I haven't accused the American people of this, just pointing out that these things have happened in Iraq. Again, why say someone who criticises these things has a hatred for Americans ?


They came from the White House !!!

I dont think that any amount of reconstruction work will ever compensate for the amount of innocent lives written off as collateral - how many was there ? Who was counting.

I think the story of whitewashing the walls of blood provides the perfect analogy.

Love / I miss my best friend [22]


It isn't that long ago in the greater scheme of things, although for you it probably seems ages.
Give her a call, see what happens.
