Life / Why do so many people in Poland have issues with Judaism? [69]

Seanus, I say, reconnect the Palestinians with their possibly Jewish roots and tone down the liberal craziness in Israel and we could have people who want to share Judaism living together in the Israel, including Jerusalem.

As for the liberal Jews in Israel, I refer them to their own stories about the sinners and God's wrath. God would want them to tone it down.

Seanus, that's a big complaint people have. Israel is too liberal. Middle Eastern countries complain bitterly about it. They don't approve.

Seanus, one of the major complaints is Israel isn't as strict as other countries and there's a clash of values. Too many non traditional values. If you read the old Testament, you will see, there were times of lawlessness when the Israelites ignored the commandments God gave to Moses on Sinai and when this happened, God punished the Israelites. God doesn't want the Israelites to be a liberal people. He wants them to follow his commandments. It's not that much different from Islam, in that respect.

Even if you don't believe in what the Bible says, you have to look at the underlying meaning and refer to the stories as metaphors.

It's strange, you see the same situation happen over and over in Hebrew history. It must have a significant meaning. It should not be rationalized away or ignored.

Judaism becomes too liberal, and then there's trouble.

Since the whole reason Jews have moved to the Middle East is to preserve their heritage, their culture and way of life should revolve around what is in the Old Testament. Their commandments say they are a conservative people. Otherwise, why have commandments? Why have Judaism? Judaism was conservatism in a sea of liberalism. That is why it came about in the first place. It's only natural that Israel be a conservative state, since that is what Judaism is about to begin with. The whole point is keeping God's commandments or you might as well go be a Pagan.

They are two different conflicts entirely. Part of the middle east crisis is that Israel is percieved as being too liberal, which, in this case, is just a euphemism for "western", since many Diasporadic Jews adopted customs of the lands they lived in for generations and these customs aren't as conservative. The Old Testament gives insight into this and can be used as a blue print to avoid disaster. What could the ancient Israelites do to avoid trouble? Follow the commandments of God. That was it. Many times, they did not and the results were not good. It's not that I consider myself to be a conservative, because I believe in flow, but the Bible clearly states many times throughout the Old Testament, it's in the best interest of Israelites to follow God's commandments and not stray.

Seanus, that's just one part of it. To add insult to injury, the majority of Israeli Jews are far too liberal for the Arab population so it makes it harder for them to get along and want to cooperate. Before you bring up how the Israelis took land from the Palestinians, keep in mind that Europeans have been taking land for centuries, so please, do not get self righteous.

At some point, some willl be given back, but face reality, the Israelis aren't going to give everything they took to the Palestinians any more than the American govt is going to give everything back to the native Americans, or the Spanish to the Native Americans of Mexico, and on and on and on. Is Australia going to give everything back to the Aborignees? They should, by your logic, because they came in and took it. Britain just came in and took that land from the natives.

You are going to have to get beyond that mindset, Seanus, because your part of the world has done more taking than any other.

It's been happening for centuries. What do you propose the world do about it? Everyone that ever took land give it back to the people who had it before? It's not possible. People have been "stealing" land since the beginning of time. Does anyone really own any land, or does it all belong to the strongest and those with the best weapons while we only have the illusion of ownership?

There are differences based on regions, for sure.

UK, Ireland / Why Poles choose to die instead going home? [12]


Poles aren't the only ones. There can be several explanations. In this case, the shelter was closed, so, these people might have not had any options in Thetford. Maybe they thought they could tough it out for a few days of cold weather. Maybe depression is a factor, and they don't care what happens. Maybe they wanted to stay because they like the UK.

News / Farrell makes the statement that a type of dinosaur was even 'dumber' than Poles [19]

I've never seen the film, but have seen the original television series. The film didn't do that well in theatres.

I just clicked the link. I can't believe what they did to this show...which was originally for kids. They gave it a "PG-13" rating and sleazebagged it up. Yes. Avoid it!

News / Farrell makes the statement that a type of dinosaur was even 'dumber' than Poles [19]

It's just a tasteless joke at the beginning of the film. The entire film sounds so commercial and the true fans of Land Of The Lost the series are getting ripped off. It sounds like they were trying to do the same thing they did with The Brady Bunch. Make the movies really raunchy while the television shows were these benign productions.

The jokes in Land of the Lost are most likely, completely witless humor designed to make a Neanderthal laugh.

It's how blacks and jews got Hollywood to listen...make a huge fuss over the black face and cheap shots by comedians. I suggest the Polish community make as big a fuss as possible or Hollywood will get the message it's okay to pick on the Polish...but no one else. Even fat people are getting picked on less and less.

News / Does Poland count in Europe or is it ignored? [428]


Oh yes. I speak English, I must be from the UK.

When you think about it, language doesn't have much to do with one's nationality at all. In America, we are not English, yet, the majority speaks English. In Canada, not everyone's English or French, yet those are the languages they speak. Same goes for Australia. Your nationality is one thing, your language is something else.

I can't tell the difference between the Aussie accent and the British one nor the Canadian and American. Same goes for Latin American countries. All speak Spanish, one speaks Portugese, yet they are not actually from Spain or Portugal.

It depends on where you are in the world.

News / Does Poland count in Europe or is it ignored? [428]


I doubt all Polish people born and raised in Poland speak it perfectly. There's always people who have bad grammar and mispronounce words in every country ;)

You are right about language being a nationality factor in Europe and Asia, but not so much elsewhere.

News / HUMANE TREATMENT FOR CHRISTMAS CARP in POLAND [55]

Is carp highly developed? The fish is on the lower end of the food chain and will be eaten. Give it enough water to breath in until it's time to cook dinner.

The only two seafood I can't stand: crabs and lobsters

I am always amazed fishing boats will go thru so much just to catch those spoilt tasting crabs. If it were up to me, they would never need a season because all crabs would be left in the sea. Same with icky lobsters.

All other fish taste ok.

Love / Friendship With a Polish Women [29]

I hate to be the one to tell you...chances are she's not interested and almost cold when she realizes you might want more than a work relationship. This thought enters her mind and she doesn't like you in that way, so she wonders what she can do without hurting your feelings. She might be thinking this guy is really getting on my nerves, I don't really want to be with him outside of work. Why can't he take a hint?

Check out the show Deadliest Catch on Discovery. It's about crab fishing in the Bering Sea and what they go thru just to fish crabs. I can't believe that many people want to eat it.
