History / Polish-German history book for Schools [28]

Excellent idea. Hopefully all of europe will have one history textbook sometime in the future . Maybe this will end some problems.

Not back problems...that's going to be a huge f*ckin book! It will wreak havoc upon the fragile backs of children!

News / So how do poles feel about the illegal immigration from mexico? [25]

The United States does not have an official language

It didn't until a few years ago. The official language is now English. Was changed only recently.

Both things will happen in about 15-20 years.

You're right. Millions of muslims will flood into Europe in the next 20 years and outnumber the Catholics and Protestants. Nice try. Even if a Muslim flood came, I guarantee it wouldn't go smoothly. Some people would end up losing it and wars would ensue, and considering that the Christian countries are the most powerful in the world, game over for european muslims.

(thats only IF it happened, which it won't, not in 20 years. 200 maybe, but not 20)

USA, Canada / The 2nd Amendment (USA), the right to own guns [261]

The thing with the gun cabinets and safes, though, is that what if you own a handgun for protection? A lot of people live in bad areas, and own guns to protect themselves if someone tries to break in and kill them (which happens a lot in the US, sadly) Last year a bunch of gang members broke into an elderly woman's house and shot her in the back of the head then robber her.

Imagine, you live in a ghetto or some other bad neighborhood, and someone breaks in to steal some stuff, but wakes you up and decides they are going to kill you because you can report what they look like to the police. What are you going to do?

"Oh sorry mister criminal, let me just go to my gun safe real quick and then find my ammo and load the gun before you decide to kill me."

For people with hunting rifles and other larger guns, gun safes and cabinets are a great investment, but for a bad neighborhood, I'd feel safer with a 9mm inderneath my pillow. I've seen what can happen and heard stories of people getting killed by would be robbers.

Idk, I guess it depends on your situation.

Most states, in fact, won't even let you hunt with one, because the weapon is considered underpowered for killing DEER....

Its true. A lot of people around here with some sort of disability are allowed to hunt with semi-auto AR-15s and have told me they shot the deer 3 times and it lived long enough to get away from them. Those guns are better at feeding coyotes than getting yourself some deer jerkey.

USA, Canada / Several shot at Northern Illinois University, USA [38]

yeah,tell that to the mothers of the kids with bullet shattered bodies!

Shot by other children or some dumb@ss who thinks he's a gangsta.

Your "freedoms" are more important than the lives of these children,tsk.

You're right. All the children ever killed were killed by legally owned guns. Great observation. Most people who kill have guns illegally. The News tries to make our world controversial by saying "This crazy bastard killed a hundred people with his hunting rifle" while badboy gangsta in the ghetto has probably done the same but gets bailed out of jail by his crack dealing friends.

I guarantee that the vast majority of shootings are done with illegal guns. So taking away the freedom to own them legally wouldn't even put a dent into the numbers, seeing as the police have a hard enough time finding the illegal ones now.

I'm assuming you're from over the pond? Somehow you guys have gotten your laws to work, but life in America is very different. I can take you on a tour some day and you'll see things my way. We won't be able to walk down some streets without getting mugged by some crazy crack addict who wants your money for some blow. In some areas it really is that bad. Just a sad fact of life.

but,you step out onto the street with a gun and your not a law enforcement officer,you get shot or arrested by said law enforcement agencies

Its legal to take a gun outside. Its also legal to own a concealed weapon, but not on government property. With the right papers it is right, but most people don't have them and usually get busted eventually.

And whats with all the frikkin assault rifles and sporting SMGs?.....

USA, Canada / The 2nd Amendment (USA), the right to own guns [261]

Your post made me think of something else.

Yeah. I'm just looking at it from both perspectives. In my neighborhood all we have to worry about are kids opening some people's unlocked cars and stealing some money and stuff. If you ask me, if your car is unlocked you are asking to be robbed, so whatever.

News / So how do poles feel about the illegal immigration from mexico? [25]

El Kitty, you're wrong!

I'm taking political science. We just talked about it few days ago. Its in our book and everything. I can go onto wikipedia right now and change it so that is says German is the official language. Not a very reliable source.

I've been told that English was established as the official language only recently, so I don't know what to make of it. Something like a year or 2 ago they changed it.

News / Is the E.U. good for Poland?? [180]

I read an articel today that said European tourists are coming to America and buying Timberlands out the wazoo...made me laugh, considering I get a discount on them so I pay as much as our visiting friends :]

A lot of people from Europe have been coming to America lately, and chanign Euros into dollars and getting almost $1.80 per 1 Euro. The shift in power happened so fast....

News / Will Poland stick to plans for "Anti missile shield" under new threats? [62]

I honestly believe that somehow he convinced himself that Poland is still a Soviet satelite sountry...something's not right with this man. Great leader for the Russian people IMHO, but not so great when it comes to thinking clearly about the foreign agenda.

They can't all be rude. Some of them are very nice and exactly like us Poles. I know that the Meroshnik family is. (well the Meroshniks I know) You just never really know. Some people are just born with a hatred toward certain individuals, like racists, but w/e.

Love / What make Polish girls better than American girls [106]

some dumb pole who drinks and beats her lol.

So we're drunken woman beaters now?

I know a few dumb pole girls who r spoiled rotten and think they are god's gift to this earth lol.

Like all the blonde californian girls they constantly put on MTV and VH1, they always seem to b*tch and complain about drama, when I see none at all...those shows are stupid.

They grew up with nothing so they feel that they have to give their children everything.

Yeah, a lot of people are like that. My uncle just had his first child, a boy, and the kid can barely walk but he's already got those battery powered cars he can ride in. I can't blame my uncle though, he'll be a great dad, he just wants to make sure his kid lives a happy life.

You gays are funny with all "baby"talk, calling Putin "little" man and so .

Thank you. :]

He can do on the Russian territory whatever he wants.

So he can. We never said he couldn't

To much pride on your part - you want to think it's a threat, because it makes you fill important

So if we aim nukes at Russia, you won't consider it a threat?

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

I think drinking and ridiculing drinking at an early age is ethnocentric. A lot of your own ideals are cultural constructs and just because people smoke or drink at a different age than when you did does not mean they have problems.

Thank you! At least some people understand that if it's different, that doesn't mean it's wrong. Thank you.

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

MAAD

That's MADD.... :]

People of the East; Poles, Russians etc. tend to drink lots of vodka and they have a serious problem with alcoholism,

You're absolutely right. We're the only ones in the world that drink vodka, therefore we are the only drunks...

it dosen't matter what form the alcohol comes in or where in the world people are drinking it to excess, IT NEEDS TO BE CONTROLLED and those who go to far need to be cast away on a small ireland somehwere to live out the rest of their sorry sad lives

That's the thing. Who are YOU to tell THEM what the appropriate age is for drinking? You don't live there. Let the people of other countries make their own laws. B*tch and moan all you want about how people drink in Poland, but they can choose what laws they have. Just because someone disagrees with you, does that make them wrong?

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

because i really don't care :)

Then why all the posts? Obviously you have some interest in the topic, otherwise you would have just said "I think people should be 18 before they drink" instead of going on into detail.

IMHO, I think the only reason you believe that 18 is the right age to be able to drink, is because you've grown up being taught that it is the right age. If it was 16 or 21 your entire life, you would believe in that age instead.

I'm one of those people that tends to leave people be, but not always. I've read somewhere that the age of consent in Holland (i think it was Holland) was 16 and then the 16 year olds could marry and do whatever. I thought it was different, but never really saw anything wrong with it. Everyone has their own culture and we should all repsect each other's cultures instead of pointing out things we dislike or disagree with.

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

Very true. It's also true that some families will give their 10 or 11 year old child a glass of wine with a meal. Is there a problem with that? I don't think so.

Neither do I. I usually have a beer with my dad after dinner on most days, unless I've got a game. Just one beer, or a mix drink.

I'm still alive....at least I think I am.

ElGato, I see you take it personally again. Nobody is attacking Poland, don't worry. Relax your mind and use your brain.

Nope. Just arguing my case.

:]

I am using my brain. If I weren't, my circulatory system would shut down and I wouldn't be alive... ;]

Hey, maybe you just need to take off that watermelon hat?

Never....death would come first.

How long are you wearing it?

Since the beginning of 2007...just about.

What's going on under there?

Lot's and lot's of electrical impulses, which travel through the nervous system and tell my body what to do....and if not that then I've got reruns of my favorite Simpson's episodes playing inside me noggin.

Love / BLACK GUYS POLISH WOMEN [809]

Polish chicks' attractions to black men?!

I always thought blacks liked chicken...When did chickens take a liking to our colored friends?

( its not a racist comment, Dave Chappelle said it on live tv, that means its ok for anyone to say it :p )

While we are on the topic of race, I'd just like to clear something up.

Racism- the hate/disliking of a specific racial group

Race related comments- stereotypes like blacks like chicken, all latinos in America are illegals, all muslims are terrorists, and white people can't jump

Just because a comment includes a color, doesn't mean it is racist. You are stupid if you think it does. Most "racial" things people say are merely race related, and just because it has color commentary people freak out and call it racism.

Please stop the ignorance. Most blacks, latinos, etc. I know can take a joke, and they can dish them out. So unless you are sincerely offended quit your b*tchin.

(that was for everyone. I've noticed a lot of white people will be quick to hit the racism button as soon as the word "black" is mentioned while a black guy could care less if a white guy called him black, depending on context)

Race is a stupid topic anyway. Scientific studies have found that slavs are more closely related with Iranians than any other people, blacks with aboriginies in australia, and basques, who are the original "whities" are more related to Cro-Magnon (who was black) than any other group of people known to exist today.

FYI, basques appeared in the Spain/France area and spread from there.

Germans and Aryans were closely related to another colored group but I can't remember who they were exactly so you can do some research.

All this of course is based on migrations of groups of people from one area to the next. For example, some Iranians moved towards the caspian and became known as Sycthians, who then moved a little further south and became Sarmatians, who are said to be the ancestors of todays Slavs.

you polish do u think its good saying rubbish to blacks?

Saying one group of people smells...with a name like Keith Jr. is a very stupid thing to do. Let me guess....you made up the "Keith" part. It's just Jr. You are southern, live in a trailor park, and take a bath only after you're finished using the tub to make moonshine.

Here's the twist: Your mother's your sister...

Am I right or am I right?

Life / Are there many atheists and agnostics in Poland? [47]

I hope this conversation stays positive and is representative of Poland's history of being tolerant of all kinds of religious beliefs

I'm actually quite proud of that fact. You know we were really ahead of our time. We accepted people regardless of religion in a time when wars were fought over religion.

Protestant VS Catholic
Christian VS Jew
Christian VS Muslim
Etc. VS Etc.

Only in the past few years have most people come to accept others regardless of religion. I think its great that the Polish nobles we so open to others back in the day.

I really liked the one that had Cary Elwes as middle aged John Paul. He could actually make a decent attempt at a Polish accent. I'm not sure if John Voight was in this one its been a year or 2 since I've seen it.

Thats what embassies around the world are like genious. As soon as you step foot onto embassy soil you are in that country's property, not Polish. They legally own the very earth their building sits on. Thats how all embassies are. Get used to it.
