News / JEW YOUTH SHOULD CLEAN UP THEIR ACT IN POLAND [420]

anti-polish,

There's a lot of anti Polishness in Europe and after being on this forum a while, I begin to see why Poles are so grumpy, complaining, and have a bad attitude. Look at what they gotta put up with!

Well..what we saw before, during and after wwII is a great example of how anti polish Europe is..

There's no point in going off topic with this. Israel has responded to the needs of Poland in this matter and that's what's important and there's nothing anyone on this forum can post that will change that!

Cos you are the expert on that, come on, have you ever lived in Europe? stop avoiding the question.

The topic isn't about me and where I have lived.

My opinion is just as valid as yours. Just because I don't bleat your opinion back to you like some mindless sheep doesn't mean my opinion isn't just as important.

They are only self centered to you because you don't agree with them. Just because you don't like my opinion doesn't make yours the right one. Maybe you are biased and completely wrong but won't admit it because you want to save face? I could easily say that about you but since I don't know, I won't.

You, on the other hand, will continue to libel me, I'm sure.

Hmmm....why so defensive. I wonder?

Man, some of you people are just crazy and anti Polish. What they say is right about you. lol.

Haven't you noticed the trend away from Nazi Germany? I was raised hearing in school how horrific Nazi Germany was and they were the ones responsible for the holocaust. I never heard anything about Poles having anything to do with it until just recently. Why the shift away from the real perpetraitors? Suddenly people are kissing Germany's ass for some reason.

History / "GANGING UP" ON POLAND? [99]

Harry, you forget this one thing. There's another thread around here somewhere with a long list of countries who allied with Nazi Germany. It would have been too easy for Poland to include itself on that list but which name is conspicuously missing? It goes to show Poland didn't buckle under pressure and deserves a lot of credit for that. Poland was never allied with Nazi Germany why should it be treated worse than the countries that were?

Instead of saying "If Poland would have given GdaƄsk to Hitler WWII wouldn't have happened", they should be thinking and saying, "If all those countries would have been more like Poland, not allying themselves with the Nazis WWII wouldn't have happened"

Harry, honestly, you are being one sided.

Yehudi, there was anti semitism throughout Europe and in the US at the time. Poland isn't out of context there, sorta going with the flow of the rest of the world. People today have got to go back and time and apply yesterday's standards to the situation or it's impossible to understand.

What's outstanding is that Poland was never an actual ally of the Nazis and it would have been far easier to just be an ally and not fight. That would have been the easiest way but it didn't happen. Yehudi, perhaps jewish people could focus on that aspect of Polish history a bit more. It's easy to feel hostility and anger about the situation but try to remember key points, like, the fact the Poles were never officially on the side of the Nazis. Shouldn't the Jews appreciate them profoundly just for that? They were surrounded by a sea of Nazi supporters yet they stayed with the British and have been criticised for that. Jews should show a little appreciation for that.

True. But Poland was where it mattered most. That's was the biggest concentration of Jews in the world. So that's why we're more aware of polish anti semitism on the 1930s than, say Canadian anti semitism.

Yehudi, there were plenty of American Jews experiencing anti semitism here. They teamed up with blacks and started the civil rights movement. It was a factor throughout the world. People discriminate against each other based on differences. It's part of the human condition and it's only when there are mitigating factors that it doesn't get out of control.

There's a mob mentality in every nation, every race, every ethnic group. Anywhere people share commonalities a mob mentality can develop.

The Jews weren't really hated in the US. Yehudi, I think the US is the one country the Jews have been most successful.
But at the same time you can say that about any ethnic group from Europe. They all became more successful in the US :D
It takes some self reflection to figure out why a minority does badly in a country because all of them don't follow that trend. They have their free will.

It's because our society is used to dealing with immigrants all over the world and we welcomed them, not always the best welcome, but usually someone somewhere welcomed them, even if others oppose their arrival. They come here and they want to have a better life. Everybody shares this philosophy and optimism and so many have succeeded. They can be very proud of that fact.

There's a few ethnic groups like blacks and latinos that haven't done as well but everyone from Europe generally did alright.

The more successful he is, the more people will hate him.

The thing is, Yehudi, that happens everywhere. In the US, especially. People resent the geeks who do better than everyone else. The majority resent the minority who do excellent on their SATs and get a 4.00 GPA every year of high school and maintain that GPA after being accepted to an Ivy League college or MIT.

Resentment, bias, jealousy, envy, and hatred are everywhere. They affect us all.

It appears anti social but it's the same sort of ordeal that many who are overly religious go thru. Why is it religion creates so much tension? Isn't religion about finding peace?

USA, Canada / Why Americans of Polish orgin do not exist in the USA politics? [34]

There aren't any Chinese or Indian politicians in the US. Except the Indian kid that got elected gov of Lousianna (after he magically converted to Catholicism).

It's because they know they don't have to run for office to influence policy. They are smart enough to know all that's needed is impeccable lobbying skills.

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

When do you need to have cash when you're driving?

You drive by the ATM and get money and go spend it someplace else. Your destination might not have an ATM or maybe one that charges while the drive thru one doesn't cost anything, especially if it's the bank you have an account at. It's a matter of convenience and not going into one more place or searching for an ATM at a place you've never been to before.

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

They do that on cell phones, sometimes. In the US it's considered incredibly rude to talk on a cell phone in public or while driving tho people do it all the time.

Life / Why build a supermarket with 20 checkouts with only 3 till staff? [46]

It might be because there's a standard franchise plan for each location...it follows the same blueprints so every store owned by that franchise has to have a certain number of check out stands. Since amount of customers vary most locations cannot afford to hire that many cashiers to work at the same time so they budget in two or three, maybe a few more. They don't want so many cashiers that some stand around and do nothing while getting paid because there aren't that many customers in the store.

UK, Ireland / Irish Primary schools to teach Polish [223]

I oppose this.

There's no reason to oppose it. Looks like your Education Minister is meeting the needs of the people. I think it's good they offer so many choices. Where I live choice is obsolete unless you want to pay for a private school and even then there's not a lot of choice, either.

RevokeNice, I am sure the Poles are paying their taxes and contributing too. So what's the big deal about Polish language option in the schools?

Poland is in the EU now, NATO too. Where will the threat come from?

As soon as we get Russia to join NATO maybe the only threat will be China and in Asia...

Seanus, like MJ, the face of NATO will undergo a plastic surgery option. In the near future it won't be so much an anti Russian entity but more a militant controllant factor. It will police places with militaries striking only when they invade one another. It's purpose will be responding to aggressors and protecting pacificist states from their antics.

These new (future) aggressors will be Chinese and Arabs.
