I am crushing you all.

And you Mr. Grzegorz, need to stop fussing about Poland and Germany and get your fluffy white tail to bed or you'll be up all night....again! You and Brat need to turn off your light sabres and pack it in for the evening. :)

You can play again tomorrow. Actually, I am proud of you both for playing nicer lately....

(They grow up so fast!)

What's wrong with women with balls?
Women with balls rock!

Hey, at least it is not a (purely) political statement! Cheers Brat!

Ok... And don't forget about your hero...

Scary Greg! Now I won't be able to sleep for the nightmares! Thanks a lot!

*points again at halo*

Now look at who's hallucinating ;)

It would be easier for him to have a stand in a discussion if he could somehow support his opinions...really!

C'mon, you and I were arguing one day and you were doing the very same thing, sweetie. Have you forgotten already? :)

*offers shopgirl a wildflower*

Ahhh an edelweiss, how lovely! Thanks B! :)

Nah, just mixing causes headache... Stuck to the Piwo last night, only 1, had to drive :-(

It will do me in everytime....don't know if it's the tannins or the sulfites. Plus, I can't keep a lovely buzz without working very hard at it. And I sober up before everyone has left for the night. :(

Shopgal, I thought you were ignoring me, and being snappy re some previous remarks. Besides you chatted with that nazi nincompoop... Therefore I didn't dare. Warmest hello. Real nice to talk to you again.

No, I was just seeing what kind of spirit had you first. It 's like talking with a porcupine once you get wound up. You'll shoot quills at anyone who come near in that case. Takes hours pulling them out. So if you'll forgive me, please proceed with the Ching! :)

Hmmm....maybe it's really not "the people" but only some in the government...

That's better! Noticing a Separation of "people" from their "government" is very astute!
Unless there was some kind of landslide election where 95% of voters chose one candidate (and how often does that happen)!

Love / Why do people judge me because im an english girl with a polish man? [14]

Don't let other people get in the way. It isn't their life, its yours and his, so live it your way. After time goes by and a relationship builds, initial differences aren't so noticeable....it's the human being that you love that is important. :)

Quoting Ogorek from another thread: "There is no reason why Russia and Poland should not get along. However - for them to do so - they have to forgive and forget the bad history. Too much hidden hatred still exists e.g. Katyn - the war in 1920 etc. They should all sit around a table - get drunk - and it'll all come out in a flood of tears...

then it will be ok..."

This drinking at the table.....is it for Russia only, or can others come to the party?

how long does the grandson of the smaller guy still want to pout ?

OK, here is a question for you: which generation are you, in your family, that you still feel you are being blamed for something that happened a long time before you were born?

Other side of same coin...

*remembers fondly the party yesterday in puzzlers home*

I cannot believe we didn't play "Dancing Queen"! Clearly we weren't thinking! :)

I don't feel actually personally attacked or blamed for what happened.

Ok, well that's good to hear....it can be very damaging to carry all of that

old style propagand with calling today politicians as Nazis and...and...and...is just wrong and it is used/misused/abused to gain some advantage

I don't know if I want to get into what's wrong or right or misused/abused, but I think the old feelings mostly GET IN THE WAY of future progress. At the same time I want to be sensitive to feelings that people have, because that is their reality.

This is not a clear cut issue is it? It is one that, as Patti said, has to heal in time, on its own. And it will. New generations are born everyday.....time marches on.

You are referring here to "stolen lands"? or what?

(You really like allegory don't you! :)

it CAN NEVER BE a great power in the traditional way

Times are different. Things are more complicated than before. Everything has to change: politics, people, trade, communications, travel. Change is inevitable.
What is important is to find meaning and value in life as it goes rushing by!

Behave as if there were no negative attitudes, even if they exist.
Meaning...acknowledging and participating in a power struggle of any kind adds your energy, focus, time (whatever) to the problem....making it bigger and stronger.

Did you ever see the sci fi movie "the 5th element"?
