Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

Africans have never invented anything worthwhile. They have made no positive contributions to mankind. Why import them?

This man begs to differ:

I'm against today's expression of "Multi-culturalism" because it ignores the root problem of native people's BEING FORCED TO LEAVE THEIR HOMELAND in search of a better life. The problem is that they have No Options at Home and that's the real problem. Importing the problem is not the solution-it's a band aid.

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

Ask you self; Why would you need to ask that question and why would a positive answer be 'Anti-Semetic'? If Jews are integrated into a country they surely don't need to do a survey defining themselves as different, and there the question simply wouldn't exist. Jews have another country, Israel and being Jewish identifies them with it. Is there something wrong with this?

A fair observation. The process seems skewed as does the interpretation.

It would be like asking someone if they believed a person tends to identify with their gender and then deciding that's evidence of sexism.

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

With the Earth's total human population currently around a staggering 7 billion and growing the question shouldn't be about importing more immigrants or having more children just to give job security to the likes of teachers and politicians who rely on large numbers of people for their own existence.

Well said.

they don't need anybody to immigrate here. Plenty of countries are doing fine with minimum people. Poland needs to revamp its social systems in order to accommodate those that live here.

Well said.Relying on other nationalities to secure your system, your culture and your values is the surest way to losing your system, your culture and your values.

The multiculturalism that has come into existence in the west has been perverted and subverted to increase Government Involvement in People's Private Lives.
The social problems that have been plaguing western nations are directly linked to Government initiatives to create Social and Cultural awareness and tolerance. Invite that into a country and you can look forward to new Social Laws banning this and that and forcing you to accept this and that and pretty soon you will have a lovely system like in:

American schools where holidays will be reduced to nothing, St. Patrick's day was renamed O'Green Day and all religious and historical significance was removed from it.

France where African men have openly claimed, as part of their defence, they raped white women as revenge for the Racism those men have felt.

UK where Muslim African women get only a suspended sentence despite beating the p*ss out of a white woman while uttering racist comments, meanwhile a white woman is

jailed for saying something racist.
Canada where the fcuk do I begin with how "ready" teachers and social workers are to get involved in children's lives.

IN EVERY nation that has embraced it, Multi-Culturalism has brought Much More Government Involvement into Your Private Life and all in the name of Promoting Tolerance and Diversity. It's great for big business, bad for communities and provides easy ways to divide people on issues.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

I think he is saying as the premise is wrong the product is improper.

perhaps, it's just that using terms demands agreed upon/recognized definitions so we can all agree or disagree with a notion. Hatred and Racism- great, how the heck are we supposed to define those two things without having to define a whole bunch of other abstract terms. And to do that you have got to prove things, not just belt out something that has the right catch phrases. Many of "those" things are hard to prove and thus these conversations are doomed from the outset based on the knowledge or lack there of that many participants have on the matter.

I enjoyed those quotes by the way. It's an eloquent way to summarize much of the human condition.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

You could check out what Frank Boas had to say on the matter where Anthropology became a real science. The development of the idea of races was focused on greatly by Britain during a classification fad in the 19th Cent where every thing had to be fitted into clear-cut squares. Though in defence of Darwin, when he spoke of race he meant it the same way as ReservoirDog.

Okay, I'll do that.

To me, race is an irrelevant and outdated concept. It's done more harm than good to the world.So I don't see a need to define it.

Fair enough, then what are we to make of this thread then?

If race can't be defined, and I'm not saying it can be, then what exactly is "racism?"

Nice job by the Poles! It's soooooo much cooler and motivating to see young people succeeding and taking pride in what they know and can do as opposed to the emptiness of western teen aspirations. Their parents must be very proud:)

If I recall correctly, being semitic and being Caucasian are not mutually exclusive. Caucasian, Negroid, Mongoloid- if we are to go by those definitions of race, we are all classified as one of those three. Don't ask me how Aborigines are classified nor the native peoples of North and South America. But as far as I know, Semitic (Israeli and Arabic tribes) is not a "race" per se.

News / What is the population of Poland's non-european minority? [142]

To fill the workplaces left by Polish emigres. I've heard of several firms complaining they can't get good labour.

Yet there are still unemployed Poles in Poland. Sounds like the workplaces CAN be filled by the local population.
It's likely that some training is needed but honestly are these highly skilled positions they just can't fill no matter what? It is more than likely the pay is just too low. It really is time that employers here started paying employess a wage that reflects the cost of living in Poland. Employers and business owners have always tried to pay as little as possible and then complain about the state of affairs in "THEIR" country but never spread the wealth. You think that changes or stays the same with immigration?

Take a look at the rest of Europe, North America and Australia- immigrants are brought in to work for cheap, stay at the low end of the societal spectrum and increase the rate of poverty. That's the track record of "multiculturalism in our time.

By the way, I said slavery of other races. Black people enslaving their own people is not relevant to this debate.

How is it not? A person is a person regardless of colour- you're exposing yourself here and the view is looking grim.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

Are you suggesting that slavery, apartheid, segregation, colour bars and racial attacks are all a bad dream?

Are you suggesting that slavery is or has only been a race related issue- look up the etymology of the word.
Are you suggesting ALL white people bear the burden of guilt for apartheid and segregation? It seems you're the one who is guilty of racism here.

Poles, to the best of my knowledge, don't have a shared history of enslaving members of other races so why would you bring that up along with apartheid and segregation if a Pole should happen to dislike non-Caucasian people or culture?

News / American soldiers beat up in Torun, Łódź [141]

Some American dudes got beat up by some thugs in Poland. Polish dudes get beat up by thugs in Poland everyday but I don't see you nitwits making so much noise about that.

Some foreign soldiers learned a lesson on spotting the difference between a bar you don't go into and a bar you chill out in. That's it- some of you fuggers got some race related hang ups and are doing A LOT of projecting.

I'm sure a Polish man or woman cannot be a fan of most things African based on more than some embedded "ism," maybe they just haven't liked what they've seen or experienced.

Why is it always white people's "fault" for any negative feelings they may have regarding the culture and values of a people who aren't white?

If a Chinese person doesn't like European culture, does that make him racist or normal?

Thinking that they were black is not outrageous.

No it is not, stating it as fact and jumping to conclusions based on 0 evidence is where boletus made his point.

There is absolutely no evidence that this attack was racially motivated, speculate until the cows come home if you wish, but until there is any actual EVIDENCE there is nothing to discuss.

...ah Hungarians, there really ought to be more of you in the world.

History / Should Poland be given ANY credit for ALLOWING Jews into Poland for 1000 years? [195]

What I said, basically, is that everybody got where they are because their great-great-grands probably forced somebody else out.

Which basically means:
"hey street kids, you got to where you are today because your great-great grands probably forced somebody else out [of the streets]."

Hey factory slaves in Indonesia, hey favela dwellers, etc, etc.

Let's go back to 1941- "hey concentration camp victims, you got to where you are because you great-great grands probably forced somebody else out."

Logic fail on your part sister.

why should the majority today's Polish population receive praise for something they had no part in?
why should the majority of the world's Jewish population receive sympathy for something they had no part in?
why should the majority of the world's population wage war for decisions we've had no part in?

As much as you dislike immigration, the world is changing. You can rail against it, go on marches, break windows. You will not stop it.

When in the course of human history has immigration not occured?
Human migration is a constant but in today's world, with today's technological capabilities, it shouldn't be a necessity.
For many, it is and that is what you fail to understand. I am not arguing against immigration, I am arguing that we shouldn't be rallying around a banner that sees people HAVING TO leave their homeland. Do you honestly think that so many people would migrate to other lands if they didn't have to?

yeah, really.

You do realise that aid isn't the same thing as charity

And what's your point?

A classic comment from someone who has no real point

dripping with irony...why are you debating me then? Do I really have to repost what brought us to this stage? I can oblige but it seems your goal is to mire this in non-sequitorials and sarcasm. Let me know if I need to bring you up to speed or if you manage on your own.

Now that is a disingenuous question if ever there was one.

it wasn't a question at all. You seem to be confused here.

It seems you're playing to some crowd that isn't here- what other reason would you have for taking that quote out of context? You and I both know the only reason I typed "non-whites" was to keep my response on point to the post I was responding to. There should be incentives everywhere for people to peacefully prosper where they were born.

You're coming with less and less substance and I have sources for what I wrote about how "aid" goes right into the pockets of western business and political cronies.

Don't waste my time man, bring your A game or go back to minors.

Mostly trash

That can be said for mainstream media as well. However, you are simply advocating throwing out the baby with the bath water.

And all the infrastructure aid doesn't.

Go on, tell me how that money is spent. It never gets to where tax payers are told it goes, shipping, contractors, consultants all get to dip into all forms of "aid," including infrastructure. Educate yourself man.

If anything, a safe, stable and investable Africa is very much in the West's interest.

Actions tell a different story.

And I can assure you, Libya wasn't that great.

Go on then, assure me with something other than conjecture. I can find many videos online of people (who had nothing to gain) claiming completely the opposite of what mainstream talking heads have claimed.

This story didn't get much airplay:

Me too but to pretend the "west" still isn't actively keeping Africa destabilized (with the help of some corrupt Africans) is really naive. Even when people want to do the right thing, they're just killed anyhow or a coup just happens to pop up. Look at all the huge advances there were in Libya in terms of literacy, standard of living and higher learning...oh yeah that didn't really get much air time did it?

so that makes it alright? Just because someone doesn't care for their city the way I would like them to, doesn't mean it's fine for me to march in with my thugs and start knockin heads. Might doesn't make right.

European rulers were basically slave owners themselves, the average European during and before the industrial revolution was poor as sh*t and was treated like sh*t- let's not suggest anyone was on a moral highground as far as ruling went.

There's a lot of incentives for non-white immigrants to come to Europe

THere should be incentives for non-white immigrants to not become immigrants at all. Having to leave your home because staying will get you killed or living in abject poverty is something we should help others avoid.

I think Poland is awesome being almost completely Polish. I enjoyed Poland much more 10/11 years ago when it was less westernized than today but some don't feel that way.

Poland needs more racial diversity.

Why?
What will happen to Poles if Poland remains as exclusively Polish as it is?
Not too long ago, the German Chancellor publicly regretted the German foray into multiculturalism, what do you know that she doesn't?
Many in France and the UK are become VERY disenchanted with this modern expression of multiculturalism, what do you know that they don't?

This is not a solution A or solution B dilemma gentlemen. There are options which do not require people leave their homes for other places. That, imho, is the worst case scenario- your place of birth is so crap that leaving becomes a necessity.

I agree speaking in absolutes is silly that’s why I pointed it out.

So you pointed out what I had already pointed out. Okay then.

jasondmzk- I am still curious to hear your definition of "over-willing" immigrants and "under-willing" hosts, you mentioned this term so I was hoping you'd give it some teeth.
