History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

When will Poles give back German land? Probably never until another mad Austrian appears on the scene.

Pol3, there are risks involved in almost anything beyond 'in moderation' these days. Do you how many road accidents there are a year across the globe? So homosexuality may yield some 'undesirable' results for some. So does war. Are you out waving your anti-war banners today?

News / Global politics and consequences for Poland; Would you like to know more? [24]

High-brow? Hardly! That's not my style. I just put what I thought should be bread and butter for an economist like Crow.

Poland is again out of the international limelight, Crow. The last major news was the missile shield. What new globalist developments do you see on the horizon?

News / Global politics and consequences for Poland; Would you like to know more? [24]

Ok, no problem. Maybe you would like to ask me sth about Poland, seeing as I live here!?

News / Global politics and consequences for Poland; Would you like to know more? [24]

Crow, how far does you economic expertise extend? Does it go outwith the borders of Serbia? I was terrible at Economics at university but I still picked up broad-based knowledge.

The way I see, and again no disrespect, if you have an interest in economic issues and you really want a Slavic Union then you should at the very least be familiar with the leading figures in Polish banking and what they are doing. Even I know them and I'm not involved with economic/financial studies at all.

Seriously, bankers have a HUGE influence on the world and I'm surprised that their work wasn't brought to your attention, Crow, very surprised indeed.

News / Global politics and consequences for Poland; Would you like to know more? [24]

Crow, with all due respect, that wasn't what I asked at all. I asked you about the economic impact of Belka's path as opposed to that of Skrzypek's. Do you see any changes in the future for Poland?

Very simply, an illness can be seen as being in poor health. It is perhaps more probable that homosexual men become to be in this state but by no means for sure. By virtue of having safe sex with another man doesn't automatically make you unhealthier, sorry.

Yeah, imposition is almost always a bad thing :)

It's not an illness, I agree.

Pol3, is this you in the video coming to save the day?

;) ;)

Why can't you accept, some people don't want to be saved from themselves? They live by their decisions just as we do. You have no real right to intervene. Even intervention in drugs cases is a delicate issue.

Does their risky lifestyle harm you? Does it worry you now that a gay man is dying because of the 'promiscuous' lifestyle he led?

What does that say about the education system when 'brainwashing' occurs? These teachers can quickly be fired if they cross lines but they are just presenting reality without forcing kids.

Aphro is right. Where are the stats, Pol3?

It's just a rather unfortunate name given that a wall dictated a geographical divide and, indeed, an ideological divide. I remember reading long long ago about the interim solution, yes.

This is a new Germany, BB, and it depends from which lens you look through. Germany makes the EU strong, there is no doubt about that. Heck, even in the Balkans America bowed down to German pressure.

More on topic, when are you gonna buy land here in Silesia? ;) There is some decent real estate here.

History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

Names are just names, BB. You had Bonn and Berlin as capitals of west and east so where is this middle you speak of?

With influence comes power. You can't tell me that you don't have the power to say no. Germany chooses to pay over the odds to other EU members. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

So disputed lands in Poland belonged to West or East Germany back in the day, BB? ;) ;) Isn't it funny that, were it to be Bonn and West Germany's old territory, that you'd have to leapfrog a whole 'country' in East Germany? ;)

BB, it was primarily Germans that tore the wall down. Stare decisis, ma man.

A little word that Germany could say, BB. NO!

It's an age-old taboo, Pol3. There's no new fresh ground here. When you start saying 'homos', then yes. You should know that it's derogatory/pejorative. I don't write Japs or Pakis. I know they are shorter but I also know that taking the extra 2 seconds to write the full name avoids a whole lot of bother. Look at your intentions.

If you choose silence, then fine. However, nobody is denying you freedom of speech here. No, they are not sacrosanct, I agree. So, the treatment should take the form of....?

News / Global politics and consequences for Poland; Would you like to know more? [24]

Ok, Crow. I'll put the ball right in your court, being as you are an economist. Sławomir Skrzypek RIP (Smoleńsk victim) resisted those who wanted to hand over more control to the IMF and banking cartels. He saw the potential for disaster and used his Polish skills of resistance to keep the country on track. However, he is sadly no longer with us and was replaced by Belka. It didn't take him long to bend over and take Poland off down another, less desirable path.

My question to you is, 'do you feel that the detrimental impact of globalist initiatives like the IMF and World Bank is a very real threat to Poland or do you think it is exaggerated hysteria?'. Dziękuję z góry za odpowiedź :)

Yeah, no firefighters needed in Poland due to rain here too. In Ireland it almost always rains.

Well done for putting your hands up, CK! We all have to do it from time to time. I guess the job has been done as rain is sweeping across Europe now.

Ach, you know that Mozzer would be the same if he were here. Morrissey is such a bi*ch! What does NK have to moan about?

Bullets for your firemen? There was no need for that, CK. They are helping you, can't you respect that? Rychlik's comment was stupid.

Well, they haven't grasped the concept of freedom of speech within reason then :(

I know what you are saying.

Don't forget taboo. Sth may not be the norm but not be taboo at the same time.

Wracając is returning :)

Biegając is running :)

Chodząc is walking :)

They are the present participles, i.e imiesłów

There is sth similar but not like we use the present progressive.

Chodząc do sklepu....:)

Well, it's fine that you can be tongue-in-cheek. I wondered what was moving around in your cheek all that time :) I might have thought otherwise ;)

History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

Yes but you joined it ;)

Anyway, I think there is a strong case for arguing that lands here are German but why isn't there any momentum now? International relations make for interesting study and they seem to trump meritorious claims.

History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

But BB, you have to take it on merit. You can't just feel instant redress because German lands were taken by the Poles. That's way too minimalist. 2 wrongs don't make a right and German foreign policy in the Balkans has been heavy-handed. Watch 'It Started with a Lie', a documentary made by Germans for Germans to wake up and see the reality.

Tell me, Pol3, why are gay bars legal?

Also, please address the gay treatment issue. How do you imagine it to be?

Life / Any treatment centres for homos in Poland? [455]

Praise where praise is due :) Being open-minded in such a way helps :) It takes a brave person to go against the grain and state their views.

What kind of 'treatment' do you envisage, Pol3? Please break the process down to me as I sometimes teach vocab like rehab, detox and intervention. Weaning sb off of sth and relapse too. Would you care to explain to me how treatment for gays would work!?

The favoured mainline is that sodomy is a disease without questioning why. That's the first mistake right there and they are off to a bad start. What, having sex with guys whilst withholding the fact that you are infected with AIDS is not sick? A woman did this recently and got off the hook.
