Love / Foreign Men and Polish Girls for Citizenship [59]

You are right man. And then they bring back home hiv or all other fcuking diseases. I've got a friend, she's half nigerian. Nice, pretty girl. Father left her mother when she was a little child and went to France or England. The only thing he took from PL was the polish passport. From that day she have never heard of the guy.

Life / Polish and Slavic Art [48]

from the Wiki:

The painting was acquired in Italy by Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, the son of Izabela Czartoryska and Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski in 1798 and incorporated into the Czartoryskis' family collections at Puławy in 1800. The inscription on the top-left hand corner of the painting, LA BELE FERIONIERE. LEONARD D'AWINCI., was probably added by a restorer shortly after its arrival in Poland,[4] and before the background was overpainted.[5] Czartoryski was clearly aware that it was a Leonardo, though the painting had not ever been discussed in print; unfortunately, there is no record of any previous owner.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]

You still haven’t answered my question though.

Zawodzi również terapia, zwłaszcza że wielu pedofilów nie ma kontroli nad popędem, a napastowanie dzieci ma charakter kompulsywny. Pedofilia to bolesna mieszanina impulsywności, strachu i pożądania, jak twierdzi angielska psycholog Danya Gloser. Tych skłonności nie można wyleczyć, można jednak nad nimi zapanować, tak jak w celibacie można panować nad popędem do kobiet. Co więcej, praktyka udowodniła, że na przykład pedofile psychopatyczni, którzy kończą terapię z bardzo dobrym wynikiem, uprawiają swój proceder tym częściej. Uczą się bowiem technik maskowania przypadłości, poznając dokładnie jej przejawy nie tylko na przykładzie własnym, ale także innych sprawców.

Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]

Wish I was brave enough to move but ah well thats life !

maybe it will encourage you: david-polanddavid.blogspot.com
. you don't need to be fluent in polish to live here. at the begining your english and basic polish should be enough. when you are in PL it's natural that you learn the language much faster. and it makes life easier when you have family or good friends here to help you. world is really small place, poland is nearby, flights are cheap and england will always be where you left her. come to Poland maz (:

Most pedophiles are great examples of shyness towards the opposite sex and complexes going horribly wrong.

How exactly do you know that?

it's prevention like Bzibzioh wrote. one pedophile can destroy several people's lifes. and you can't stop pedophile from being pedophile. after being inprisoned he will walk free and do what's in his nature again and again.

History / History of European and Poland's anti-semitism [192]

what a times, you cant even say jokingly sieg heil in a tram

Poland:The first Jews arrived in the territory of modern Poland in the tenth century. Travelling along the trade routes leading eastwards to Kiev and Bukhara, the Jewish merchants (known as Radhanites) also crossed the areas of Silesia.

learn polish and read:

Istnieje jednakże prawdopodobieństwo, iż pierwsi Żydzi pojawili się w dorzeczu Wisły i Odry kilka wieków wcześniej. Otóż, wiek III i IV to okres, kiedy panońscy Żydzi przemierzali jako kupcy handlowy szlak bursztynowy łączący prowincje rzymskie z wybrzeżem Morza Bałtyckiego. Szlak ten przebiegał w pobliżu obecnego Wrocławia, Kalisza, Bydgoszczy i kończył się w Zatoce Gdańskiej.
