News / POLAND'S POPULATION IS SHRINKING... [62]

The population is falling and protections estimate that there will be four million Poles fewer than today in 2030.

Maybe Poland can import Mexicans - there are plenty everywhere in the U.S.

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]

And have you wondered why those American women receive the consultation? Not because they went through a significant trauma?

Such "consultation" is a good thing; I highly recommend it from professionals, family, etc. What I disagree with is the kinid of therapy which is agenda driven. It causes more harm than good.

I will only say one thing: you don't know what you are talking about.

Actually I do.

USA, Canada / Iranian moving to Poland from Canada. What to expect? [23]

I visited Wroclaw with him. I swear, I have never been eyed up and down so much in my life before. I don't dress in a burka or anything either.

That's because you look (so) beautiful.

maybe I should find another country in europe instead of poland to study ,

You'll be fine; don't let the 'chicken littles' scare you. If you can speak some Polish the people there will be delighted to have you (over for dinner too).

I can't believe what I am hearing here, Poland is becoming the second best destination for all immmigrants abroad. We have a s***tload of Vietnamese, Africans, Ukrainians what not. My of my friend is actually from Ghana and he never experience racism.

There you go, well put.

i've never heard or seen any racisum against anyone and I find people very friendly and helpful

Etc, etc. Only the trolls here have some need to be anti-Polish.

am Polish and hate most everybody :P j/k

Ah, an honest bigot (for a change).

I've never met an Iranian I didn't like.

A Persian doctor delivered my three kids (oh so many years ago). Iranians as a people are well liked but as usual it's the governments that need to be changed.

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]

A rape victim in the US, Canada or UK is likely to be traumatized as much as much as in any other country on this planet.

As a generalization I don't believe that to be true. Women in the U.S. for instance receive consultation from organizations that have a feminist perspective of victimology. In short, rape victims are told that they will never be the same along with similar perspectives related to feminist thought.

Women in war torn countries who were raped were made of stronger stuff. They survived
and continued life anew. That was true for Poles, Russians, yes, and German women too.
More recently, Vietnamese women started new families, as do rape victmes in countries other than the U.S. where women who drink too much; have sex and then regret it later call it rape. Of course the same standard does not apply to men who drink too much and have sex; but I (slightly) digress.

Life / why do People in Poland speak so quietly? [23]

I've noticed that people in Poland speak really quietly when on the telephone compared to us Americans, Is there any reason for this?

Yes, it's called common courtesy. Don't you just hate it when someone in the room is yakking loudly?

It's been noticeable that Black Americans speak the loudest (in general). That's particularly true in movie theatres when some yell back at the screen. OK, let the "PC" crowd come at me for statinig something thats true.

UK, Ireland / How can I receive child support from a Polish man living in UK? [33]

I know the guy is the father of my child( I wouldn't mind of taking a test for it, cos I am 120% sure and moreover, the child looks exactly like her father)

It's interesting that you "know" that this man is the father. All women seeking child support from specific individuals claim to "know" who the father is ----- only to discover thru DNA testing that the accused was not the father.

Also noteworthy is that you did not use the following reason to support your claim. You did not state that this man is the only one who could be the father if you understand my meaning.

I have mentioned about the child support few times face to face, even asked to sign up for document saying that he will pay certain amount monthly. He did not agree to sign.

He has doubts that the child is his.

I have no financial problems but I still believe he has to pay as long as he is the father,

I agree, but as you state; "as long as he is the father."

You keep saying my girl, my child, and then when it comes to money it is our child.

That is a most unpleasant trait that most women have. They speak this way and 'feel' this way at a subconscious and conscious level.

Good luck and dont listen to the negative comments

Only listen to male-bashing feminists.

And you and Harry are here every day to point out those mistakes, right?

Curious isn't it? These hall monitors dedicate their free time in the most negative manner towards Poles and Poland. There's some sort of psychological need on their part somewhere. If they didn't exist we would have to invent them.

USA, Canada / Popular US Newspaper offends Poles. [22]

Not being excited at all with who is Jewish and who is not

Some Jewish people are ...and some non Jewish people are.

someone is Jewish when his mother is/was Jewish; in this respect Adam Michnik is not Jewish. The decisive factor is whom the person judges himself;

Exactly, in this case Michnik claims to be Jewish; who is to tell him he isn't?
(If Obama had the same 'tradition' then we couldn't consider him Black although he certainly does).

I cannot imagine people in America insisting that someone who thinks himself an American of Jewish origin is not an American, but Jewish only

Ah, but the U.S. is a hodgpodge.

There exists lots of examples of Poles of Polish (and only Polish) having been communist murderers, just as examples of Jews not having been communists in Poland.

True, yet there is such a thing as percentages. For example, every election 90 pecent of Blacks vote Democratic Party (in the last election it was closer to 98 percent). I know two handfuls of conservative Jewish friends (real friends) who abhor the fact that a relatively high percentage of Jews were communists. ... and they are bothered by the fact that 65 percent voted for Obama.

Michnik isn't a Jew: he's a Pole. Only pathetic bigots like Sokrates and greg think he isn't a Pole.

Is that why in the same article Michnik says; "By coincidence I am a Pole with Jewish roots." ....and later, "I know that if I had been there in Jedwabne, I would have been killed as a Jew.". For the third time he admits being a Jew when he writes; "I am also a Jew who feels a deep brotherhood with those who were murdered as Jews."

Perhaps Harry, you should tell Michnik that he isn't Jewish; after all, someone from the British Islands like yourself knows better.

UK, Ireland / Father's Day cards banned in Scottish schools [64]

Zimmy the emptiness is from expelling, its natural to feel empty after a good long :)

I referred to the child's emptiness not someone having sex.

its all a load of bullshyt ( stats)

You demean yourself by merely stating that and not backing it up except for giving an anecdote. Evidently you disagree with virtually every study conducted on this subject.

In short:

"Controlling for socioeconomic status, race, and place of residence, the strongest predictor of whether a person will end up in prison is that he was raised by a single parent..............According to the Index of Leading Cultural Indicators, children from single-parent families account for 63 percent of all youth suicides, 70 percent of all teenage pregnancies, 71 percent of all adolescent chemical/substance abuse, 80 percent of all prison inmates, and 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children."

"A study cited in the Village Voice produced similar numbers. It found that children brought up in single-mother homes 'are five times more likely to commit suicide, nine times more likely to drop out of high school, 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances, 14 times more likely to commit rape (for the boys), 20 times more likely to end up in prison, and 32 times more likely to run away from home.' Single motherhood is like a farm team for future criminals and social outcasts."


""A 2008 study led by Georgia State University economist Benjamin Scafidi found that single mothers - unwed or divorced - cost the US taxpayer $112 billion every year." - P.51.".......................

Love / Kotek - is it normal for my boyfriend to call other girls this name? [30]

I saw a text message that he sent her by accident.

Yes, yes; women frequently seem to find things by "accident". I've had women 'accidentally' open up my lap top; 'accidentally' look into my wallet; 'accidentally' go thru my records; 'accidentally' steal a $50 bill; 'accidentally' read my notes. Women just seem to have lots of, um, "accidents".

He should dump you, 'accidentally' of course.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics" ............... "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

This famous bromide is frequently overused by people who have no real answer to a question or statement posed to them. While statistics can be manipulated the facts can be stubborn things.

children from a fatherless home are:
5 times more likely to commit suicide.
32 times more likely to run away.
20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders.
14 times more likely to commit rape
9 times more likely to drop out of high school.
10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances.
9 times more likely to end up in a state-operated institution.
20 times more likely to end up in prison.

While the above stats can and do vary from place to place and time to time the overall studies and there are many of them suggest a pattern which is not dissimilar to the above figures. In short, it is a constant that children growing up in single parent families (usually female) frequently feel an emptiness and have additional psychological needs.

Love / What is your opinion on the Polish Ladies in Krakow? [82]

The last thing I need at my age is any kind of bad Western Attitude like the girls in the USA big cities give out or the girls in Prague give out.

You are not the only one who knows this and is damn tired of it. Western women don't know how to be 'responsible' with all their freedoms. The more freedom women have the more they complain (usually about men). Their 'attitudes' are just plain disgusting.

More and more men have given up even trying to meet a 'sensible, nice' woman. They are out there but there are fewer and fewer of them. I've met women who had more than half their bosoms popping out, wearing a ultra short skirt and at the same time complaining that women are only seen as sex objects. That's how stupidly confused the modern woman is.

Go to Poland and enjoy your stay there. Be yourself and if some typically self-absorbed female gives you a problem - just ignore her. One thing women can't stand is being ignored.

I think it's more likely that these figures suggest that the fathers have left because they were losers

That's part of the problem. The other part of the problem is the women. They date 'bad boys' which is so fashionable and then wonder why these guys leave. The women also want kids at any cost and frequently don't want the biological fathers around. Additionally, lots of these women just sleep around and don't know who the father is.

which is why the kids turn out bad.

Children need a father in the home for the best healthy development. There are biological as well as sociological reasons for this. In short, it's nature.

I do thnk that the way society judges and labels children from one-parent homes does have an effect on them.

Not so much anymore as there are so many children from single-mother households that it almost seems the norm.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics..:)

Yet, these are the facts. Is it a lie when study after study after study (let alone empirical confirmation all around us) shows us the evidence? What are you disputing, that kids from single parent households don't have higher school drop-out rates; or higher crime rates, or are imprisoned disproportionately? Tell us you are not naive.

History / World War II - a tragic story for Poland and the World [489]

Poland was treated better than any other allied nation.

Of all the incredibly ignorant comments in these forums, this one ranks right up there.
Roosevelt and Churchill selling out Poland to the Soviets shows how "treated better" Poland was; let alone all the other slights.

The fact that the British so many years later attempted to make-up for their mistake(s) is proof enough that something was wrong.

All any objective reader has to do is look at posts #423, #425, #429, and #439 among other related posts to get a 'sense' of what occurred.

Bristish apologists like Harry can continue to stew in their own insecure bitterness. It's a good place for them to be in.

UK, Ireland / Polish man sought after murder of Irish man! [36]

Start a thread on them on the Polish American forum

Nah, I'm not here to bash the Irish and besides, it's a Polish forum and not one about Irish hoodlums in the states. I just wanted your input into this problem. After all, fair is fair.

The majority of eastern europeans here are Poles. Eastern european is a code word for them in the media.

Even here in the states there are quite a few East Europeans who people mistake as Poles because they don't understand the language. I've seen this myself and would tell people, "no they're Czechs" or "they're Serbs" etc.

hint:You can usually tell the difference between Poles and others because in general Poles are better lookin' :)

If we closed our borders to the eastern europeans

You sometimes note 'East Europeans' and sometimes "Poles" (who are really Central Europeans). What percentage are Poles and what percentage are the other East Europeans who come to Ireland?

.....and what about the bands of Irish Grifters who operate in the states?

There are several bands of Irish Grifters who operate in the states. They usually just rip people off but sometimes murder is involved. So what are you going to do about them?

How easy it is to judge others, and condemn them without trial.

Judging? Here are the stats (U.S. only) You be the judge.

*78 percent of prison inmates grew up in a fatherless home.
*Fatherless children are 20 times more likely to be imprisoned or on probation.
*Fatherless children are 8 times more likely to commit murder.

28% of U.S. caucasion women who had children last year were single; @ 53% latino women were not married and @ 70% + of African American women were unwed!
