News / What needs to happen in the world so that Poland and Russia form alliance? [297]

But I always thought Cyprus was an independent country, ok, one half occupied by the Turks and the other by the Greek, but still.

Cyprus has always been, and always will be, a Greek Island. Independant or not. I'm familiar with history, so it all seems pretty obvious to me.

Population:

77% Greek.
18% Turkish.
5% Other, including Armenians.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I have to explain anything?

USA, Canada / Sweetest Day - October 18 - 19 [36]

How will you spend your Sweetest Day?

Well, I've never even heard of this day being called Sweetest Day? (I'm Dutch, so we don't celebrate this day!) Uhm.. I don't know, I'll probably spend this day just like I would spend any other day..

:)

Hey, you learn something new every day!

Love / Why do Polish Women Think They Know Better? [134]

To the men on this forum; stop being manginas!

That's true; too many men are manginas.

I'll give some unsolicited advice to men who are manginas.

It's obvious I'm anti-mangina.


Parrot.

???

definitely independent, can't rely on men these days! :D

I think my girl will have to disagree with you.

History / Why are we called Poles instead of Polans? [29]

Holland rhymes with Poland,

No it doesn't?

why aren't they called "Holes" or "Holish"?

That would be Holles, or Hollish, following your logic.

Share whatever you're smoking?

French - Franks?
German - Germs?
English - Angles?
Scottish - Scotch?
Catalonian - Cattle?

Life / WHAT DO YOUNG POLES SEE IN RAP CRAP? [63]

If you'd ask me, I'd say that with this song, Curse captured the essence of what Hip-Hop really is. Freedom of expression, and freedom of speech. Freedom.

youtu.be/SO3z_IjwErE

Again, this is what Hip-Hop is supposed to be; Originality, creativity, freedom of expression and indivuality, and that's probably why there are so many different approaches to the genre as a whole, and that's probably why there are so many people who fail to grasp the concept aswell.

Social awareness..

youtu.be/WYgpxOGUvp4

Social awareness..

A lot of rap's roots originated in prison.

Wrong again. The griots of West Africa are a group of traveling singers and poets who are part of an oral tradition dating back hundreds of years. Their vocal style is similar to that of rappers. The African-American traditions of signifyin', the dozens, talking blues and jazz poetry are all aspects of the griots. In addition, musical 'comedy' acts such as Rudy Ray Moore and Blowfly, are considered by some to be the forefathers of rap.

Within New York City, griot-like performances of poetry and music by artists such as The Last Poets, Gil Scott Heron and Jalal Mansur Nuriddin had a significant impact on the post-civil rights era culture of the 1960s and 1970s.

To keep a long story short, rap originated from poetry, and Hip-Hop originated from a mixture of different styles of music. (Jazz, Disco, Pop, Funk and Soul.)

Oh, and a few words in addition, anyone can write a poem, but that doesn't mean they're all Shakespeare. Anyone can drum, but that doesn't mean they're all Buddy Rich. Anyone can sing a song, but that doesn't mean they're all Muses.. Seriously, as if Madonna can actually sing? As if Britney spears has something intelligent to add? As if Disco Polo is some higher form of art?

youtu.be/ehADqM55KTk

Music is music, different moods, different approaches, different styles, different tastes, different ideas, different vibes, different people. We can argue about music for ages, but you'll have to stick to the facts if we're going to. Oh, and about grunting.. I believe Heavy Metal heads know all about that..

:)

..and that's all I have to say about it.

Life / WHAT DO YOUNG POLES SEE IN RAP CRAP? [63]

It's kinda like p!ssing in the middle of a city square.

No it's not. Someone who will do that in the middle of a city square will bother everyone who's present, giving them no choice. I think that's quite contrary to someone who makes music for a certain audience, because he or she isn't necessarily bothering everyone with what he or she does, except maybe the ones who choose to listen.

:)

Hope you like it :)

I like this kind of music, and to be honest, you've done a good job. (Despite the poor quality!)

B)

A-J (Remembers talking to Lady Sovereign on 2SG occasionally, and is now wondering if M-G will be the next person who will make a name for himself!)

So what exactly is wrong about rap? Not rhyming, not simple arranging. Probably coming from black people?

Well, if I take a good look at the postings from the people who constantly try to bash rap on here, or even try to compare all the negatives from Gangsta Rap to Hip-Hop, I think you might be right?

;)

The poor quality is just because YouTube does something to it and Windows MovieMaker compresses the sh*t...But thanks! I'm glad you like it :)

I know, but you should be able to compress it yourself with a better program, and upload it in HQ? (They've added that option recently!) Oh, I forgot, the amount of graphics you add also matters. (You don't want to exceed the maximum file size!)

Not being a slimer or anything, I really like your tune. I usually prefer my bass a bit deeper, and my beats a bit harder, but this is good music! Keep it up!

:)

Life / WHY POLISH PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR NATIVE FIRST NAME WHEN ABROAD? [136]

Why would you change your name to accommodate others abroad.

Why not? I have a French name myself, and most people here can't seem to pronounce it correctly either. I seriously dislike the alternatives though, so I guess I'm doomed to correct people.

So if you have a decent alternative to simplify your name, then why not? It'll save you a lot of little annoyances!

Life / WHY POLISH PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR NATIVE FIRST NAME WHEN ABROAD? [136]

I'm sure I could pronounce it, I guess most people are just too lazy to try? (Or they really are stupid! I mean, how hard can it be?) I sometimes have to repeat my name a dozen times, and still they won't pronounce it right! If I didn't know any better, I'd say that it's almost as if they don't want to!

History / Did Ukraine really "steal" Polish land? [302]

Did Ukraine really "steal" Polish land?

No they didn't. Today, Ukraine is Ukraine, just like Poland is Poland. (I mean, the Dutch could complain about Belgium and Luxembourg stealing our land aswell?) It's in the past, move on. National boarders aren't even important anymore, because it's all European soil now..

:)

Or will be!

Life / WHAT DO YOUNG POLES SEE IN RAP CRAP? [63]

Some rappers are a bad example, does this make every rapper a bad example? Some women are criminals, does this make every women a criminal? Some supporters are hooligans, does this make every supporter a hooligan? Some men are abusive, does this make every man abusive?

;)

I don't know but I hope there will be a cure for this in our time.

Ignore all prejudice and give these youths a chance to develop themselves, and you'll see that their music will eventually reflect this. It's not the music that is the problem, it's the people who make music about their problems, frustration, or even anger. They weren't born bad you know. They just didn't have the opportunities most of you had, and if this attitude in society keeps up they will never have, or stand a chance..

;)

Do you know what it's like to be young and know that you don't have a future? Do you know what it's like to have to watch people who aren't even satisfied with all the things you could only dream of? Do you know what it's like to get stared at like you carry the plague? Do you know what it's like to be avoided, when all you have is good intentions, and all you want is a chance?

Do you know what it's like to get robbed when you already have next to nothing? Do you know how it feels to have a gun in your face? Do you know what it feels like to be treated like you're expendable trash?

:)

I don't think so.

Love / Differences and similarities between slavic girls [30]

this is the difference to the western Europe which is more prude and such behaviour is not considered acceptable.

So you think my generation is prude, and cares about what is acceptable? If it doesn't hurt anyone, it's okay. Dream on..
