Life / Racist violence in Poland [172]

If Krakow is like that, im sure ill love it

- It is. You've got nothing to fear in Poland, hopefully as much as Poles don't have anything to fear in Pakistan or 'ethnic' areas in UK.

Good luck.

I like Ukrainians ;)

- But do they like you? Or it doesn't matter?

I was always claiming that I am Ukrainian. I have both Polish and Canadian citizenship right now.

- Nope. I rermember your post where you said you were half-Polish or something of this sort. In any case, you suggested you were more Polish than Ukrainian, and you hid the Ukrainian nationality thing. But I understand you: you live in Canada and being Ukrainian is much easier and respectful than being Polish there. Therefore, you've changed your skin like many of your ilk did before you. Not that I personally am sad about it - good riddance!

it is safe to go either way would presume, but I am Ukrainian with a Polish citizenship, so this is who I am.

- Wow, so suddenly you are not Polish, or half-Polish, but 'Ukrainian with a Polish citizenship'? Do you intend to keep this citizenship, or get rid of it? Do you have a Ukranian and Canadian ctizenship as well?

and I am not even Polish

- You aren't Polish? I thought you mentioned somewhere you were Polish. Did you lie? Or is it safer in Canada to admit one is any other nationality, e.g. Ukrainian, than Polish?

I have spoken to the MP

- So it was the case of 'NATO' after all? :)

and attended the demonstration

- A very effectual action indeed! So it's enough to go to a demonstration to be regarded by you as JANT - JUST ACTION NO TALK? By the way, was the demonstraton all silent, or did you talk a bit...?

The results of the investigation will be available to the public in May, if I am not mistaken

- Wow, you've accomplished so much by your pure action! - Maybe the results of the investigation will be made public in May! What a great accomplishment! And it's all thanks to your talking to a Canadian MP and attending - silent? - demonstration!

:)))

As for my Xmas, it was a busy drinking time for me. How about you? Do you celebrate Catholic Xmas or the Orthodox ones?
;)

make sure it will be signed by PF mods too - I am in too good of a mood today to take anything seriously;).

- You mean you are now a moderator or one of those who run this forum?

his attempt to use English vocabulary to make his speech sound intelligent is so transparent and ineffective

- Do you assert my use of English vocabulary makes my speech sound not intelligent? Why would you assert so? Give proof. Aha, so now the cornered-up bigot tries to put down his opponent by belittling the lattert's language ability, in order to divert attention from the subject of the conversation and the bigot's having been cornered.

it is called NATO- No Action Talk Only:),

- Hello, miranda. As usual backing up Polonophobes? An 'effectual' action indeed.... By the way, what's new about your 'action' (i.e. talk) in the Dziekanski case? Have they arrested the murderers or even made their names public? Have they showed the Dziekanski story truthfully in the Canadian media? What have you accomplished, ye little funny sophistress from Canada?

:)

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

- Where he is cornered, he starts to pour ridcule on his opponent. I call it a skunk rhetoric.

You can't imagine ANYTHING is not perfect about Poland and you say anyone that isn't singing the national anthem and wearing a FC Poland scarf is a traitor

- Where do I say the things you're alleging I do, and what proof you have to state the stuff about what I allegedly can't imagine?

And don't worry I am white so when I have a child with my Polish girlfriend it won't visibly pollute your elite bloodline :))))

- Why would you imply I worry about those things? Give your grounds for your belief. And why do you associate with me, a Pole, the German Nazi concept of 'polluting one's bloodline'? Don't you think it more properly ought to be associated with you? After all, you seem to as prejudiced towards us Poles, as German Nazis were.

Yeah I often hear people slagging me in Polish if I am on the phone in English

- And I think you're making it up, pal. I am an English speaker myself (also speaking, with an accent, Polish), and I have never-ever encountered such bahaviour of the Poles. If there was any animosity, it was the same as e.g. in UK, when people speak Polish and others feel uneasy about it. And the sanctions, institutional and social, against speaking Polish in UK, e.g. England, are incomparably worse than in Poland (where they are practcally nonexistent). And in UK it is frequent that Polish people are forbidden by employers to talk in Polish to each other, or are badmouthed by non-Polish employees for speaking Polish. In Germany it's even worse. I think you are a liar when you suggest Poles have a phobia against speaking in English. Now, judging from your posts, you're not a nice person at all, and quite prejudiced against Poles, even though living n Poland. Therefore I won't be surprised if you get yours from them eventually. Will you scream about Polish racism then? What an arrogance to act in a foreign country like you do. Who do you think we Poles are? Dirt at your smelly feet? Hm, if Poland is such a problem for you, why don't you leave for a better land? Why don't you go e.g. to UK? Leave my country, please, along with all the other nasty creeps like yourself.

Being told off for daring to speak in English on a Warsaw tram kinda gave that away to me. I was the one being rude for the little biddie not being able to eavesdrop :)but thats another topic :)

- So isthatu has joined the slanderous Polonophobic choir too? Mobbing up together against Poles? Go ahead and do it, all of you; we'll manage to defend ourselves against your lies and hate. By the way, I sort of expected such a reaction from isthatu eventually. Brought up on the Cold War anti-Polish propaganda, eh?

its ironic how a lot of right wing polish groups follow hitler (even though hitler attempted to exterminate all of them).

- Really? How about your grandpa fighting on the Nazi side? How about your own Nazi racism displayed in this forum? Have you got the summons from UK human rights already, as regards your racism against the Poles, including threasts of physical violence, voiced in this forum, creep? If not, it should reach you in no time - then we'll see what a tough feller you are.

:)

and let it be said that black people are just as prejudiced as every other group.....another subject.

- I know cases of Polish people harassed, beaten up and murdered by Black people, in both US and UK. Are there as many cases of Black people mistreated so by Poles?

I'm African American ..... I don't really concern

- Why 'another subject'? One who care about truth should always use facts in their proper context, and he shouldn't use them out of context.

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

Yeah Russia never invaded.
Russia is a shinning example to the world.
Its the perfect global citizen.
Oh yeah almost forgot the world is flat.

- And now the Germans are getting in cahouts with the Russians.... Schroeder is on the Russan paylist and Merkel has expressed her pleasure at Germany's 'strategic partnership' with Russia....

Thankfully I got it working again. The British Way. Welcome to British Week.

- Right on, mate. By the way, this Brit Week in Matushka Russia hasn't been too nice, has it? I mean the Russian aggression against the British Council. Will the brutes start beatings of the British nationals staying in Russia? In the past, they beat up Polish dipolomats and vandalised our embassy in Moscow.

UK, Ireland / TRUTH AND DELUSION ABOUT POLES IN UK [65]

I really don't see what's the point of Poland and some other Eastern Europe countries joining the E.U?

- Shouldn't they join? Why not?

Why is that most Polish people left their country?

- Well, it's a good question, but the one even better is: why did you leave Africa and 'join' the EU?

UK, Ireland / TRUTH AND DELUSION ABOUT POLES IN UK [65]

According to the Institute for Public Research (a UK body), Poles are the lowest paid workforce in the UK. They make, on the average, £ 7.3 /hour. By comparison, the Somalis make £ 8.3, Bangladeshis £ 9.3, and Ugandans £ 13.4.

See: wiadomosci.onet.pl/1675091,28350,wiadomosceu.html

And we've been praised in the UK for being exceptionally good dependable workers. But when it comes to paying for our toil, others get the real money, whereas we get crap. I wonder why? Is that the notorious British justice at work?

the life of Poles in the UK isn't, on the average, rosy.

- This swapping would result in a lie. - The fact alone (one of the scores of similar facts) that we're the lowest paid workforce in the UK seems to prove that our life in UK is less rosy compared not just to the locals, but all the other foreign nationalities there.

Yes,the sources for this figure come direct from Polish organisations here in the UK..

- Please give this alleged source of yours.

but as always I suppose you will just brand them self loathing polonophobes......)

- So you always tend to suppose I will brand 'them' (whomever they are) 'self loathing polonophobes' (sic)? Why would you tend to suppose so?

- Brother, can you actually mix both Polish and Brit architectural elements, creating a new quality? I mean the good Brit pub plus the good Polish gospoda, or karczma? Make it eclectic, I'd say!

Life / Local Poles taking advantage of foreigners living in Poland [235]

what would it be to you if i liked czech customer service or not?

- I don't know Czech customer service; I've never been to Prague and don't intend to go in the neatr future. But I know e.g. customer service in Canada (can be horrible, grumpy, insulting) and UK (more or less the same, but still better than in Canada).

right, mate, show me where i put that in writing or even suggested that.

- No, you didn't say it literally, but it can be concluded from your post.

when the UK is criticised, Brits don't take it personally and don't go on whacked out rants

- You've got to be kidding? How about even your own posts? How about Wroclaw Boy's posts?

I am still curious as to why you don't live in Poland as you are such a staunch defender of your country? You would probably make a great populist politician!

- I live in Poland whenever I can, but I often work abroad. I can afford living both in Poland and abroad. There's nothing 'populist' in what I write - at least no more populist than in your own posts.

no. i meant my experiences of customer service in prague was that it's the worst i've ever experienced and the people who were working there seemed to make a point of being rude and deceitful. but it's my experience thus my opinion. if you don't like it or agree with it, cheers to you, no asked you to.

- Then I misinterpreted your words, but they were ambiguous.

that there is overcompetitiveness on the roads here

- That's another story, but saying that it's the worst driving in the world or even in Europe is a gross exaggeration.

UK, Ireland / POLISH ADMIRATION FOR THE IRISH GENIUS JAMES JOYCE [63]

Puzz, I think you would enjoy "Dublin literary pub crawl" it has it's own website. James Joyce, Yeats, O'Casey..etc & lots of beer!!

- I'll go for it, man.Thanks! Another Irish genius I admire is Sheridan Le Fanu, his ghost stories. Some of the greatest ever. Irish beer, the real Irish beer, such as local Guinness, I must say, beats any beer in the whole wide world.

I think Slomczynski producing a faithful translation of Ulysses in Polish is a remarkable achievement in itself!

- It's exactly that - a faithful, and at the same time true to the spirit of the original, translation. Slomczynski also wanted to translate 'Finnigans Wake'; I remember an article in Polish literary press where he announced he had found, as the first in the world, the key to the interpretation of 'Finnigans Wake'. I think it was late seventies or early eighties when he published his translation of a fragment of it, titled 'Anna Livia.' It was great stuff.

The UK, land of Satan, dark even in the daytime

- I've never said that; don't put your own blown-out-of-proportion words into my mouth, pal. Its your own image of Poland that looks more like the alleged image of UK.

See how it tastes when your own country is being harshly criticised? And you, bastards in this board, have been doing it to my country all the time. Never saying anything positive about my country and people. Coming to my country with a horrible arrogant attitude, expecting that we will kiss your unwashed feet. You're destroying your own national image with us, you know? If I were you I'd care about it.

Poland is the best. Everything is splendid

- Of course not, but Poland isn't as bad, compared to your own country and countries, as you and similar to you paint her. And you paint Poland so badly because you mindlessly and slavishly accept and stick to what your own media psychopaths and liars put into your heads about Poland and Poles. Do you notice any relation between your media image and your own image of Poland and Poles?

driving in certain parts of Italy can be quite manic also, but driving in Poland is very hazardous ..... one just has to look at all the crosses at the side of the road which signify a fatality or fatalities. I have done a lot of driving in my time ... 27 years in all , and driven through many european countries, America and Canada and in my opinion driving in Poland is the most dangerous

- Wow, what a different perception of things different people can have, and what mysterious causes are of this. :) As we say in Poland: kazda sroka chwali swoje gniazdo (one praises one's own, puts down outsiders).

The British take safety into consideration

- In principle, perhaps, yes, but not always in reality. Come to UK and see with your own eyes.

one just has to look at all the crosses at the side of the road which signify a fatality or fatalities.

- Yes, in UK there are no such crosses, but does it signify there are no fatal road accidents? No crosses = no accidents?

I've been driving in the UK for a long time and I reckon the UK drivers, on the whole, are pretty good

- But there's also lots of bad driving here.

doesn't mean you have to start knocking drivers in the UK.

- Well, if the British start knocking Polish drivers for bad driving, why can't I knock the British drivers a bit?

I think Italian drivers are 'pretty mad'

- Yes, but some British and other foreigners go to Italy and view Italian drivng positively, whereas they view exactly the same Polish driving negatively. I disagree with such a double standard.
