Life / Poland, maybe the world's last bastion of faith [67]

Since when are Jews chosen? Why not Hindus?

What crap are u writing here? Why should Poland "contribute" to "protect" Israel? It's the same sh1tty thinking like for Afghanistan and Irak. Israel is not Poland's problem. Let the locals solve it. If they cannot, f*** it.

Sorry, but since when does Israel need help if it has US&A and the UN on it side?

Did u know that Israel never was called in front of the UN for committed war crimes?
Doesn't that tell u anything?

What are the Aussies doing there so far from home?

Genealogy / Polish nationality? Which of the following (if any) determine being Polish. [231]


"...From the 16th to the 19th centuries, an estimated 12 million Africans were shipped as slaves to the Americas. (see Slavery in the Americas)[5][6] Of these, an estimated 645,000 were brought to what is now the United States.[7]..." from

Not only in US&A. As I said, authentically is what u praise european, 'cause that's where they all came from. Surprise?


I am shivering. U really go back in time.


No thank u. Had mine when I was in US&A. Kind of amusing what I listened to.

Here's a quick lesson where the word "american" comes from:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_%28word%29#History_of_the_word


Are u talking about US&A? All they had/have is EUROPEAN. U forgot that the 1st settlers there were refugees just like u find them today all over the world.

What traditions, values, history etc.??

For me this discussion looks like u are following the "American pathway".

They invent new definitions of ur origin, citizenship, nationality etc.

What is the purpose of that?

Thank u for ur "lesson", but sorry the reasons are for every mess a country is in the most important facts. Especially if the West kick-started the process to the mess(like Seanus said with what I agree).

I gave the fact with the warm people, because of the prejudices for Serbia here on PF and in media and as well as in the "West" warm people are very very rare.

Btw, any personal experiences? Been to Serbia ever?

News / Newsweek's The World's Best Countries (Poland ranked 29) [128]

From what I saw of Serbia like Novi Sad, Belgrade, Vojvodina, Region Nis etc. it is not so bad, but the biggest plus are the warm and friendly people.

If you suggest that the whole country is in a mess then please don't forget 10 years of embargo etc.

U think about muslims?

Seanus. I am GERMAN(unlike other rumors here :-)).

I was there in the 90's frequently on business trips and then it was a sh1thole. Don't know how it looks now. Not interested.

And there are 100 ets of other species which do not have these tendencies. What kind of argument is that? However u put it. I do not mind what u do in your private life and how u see homsexualizm. For me personally it is not normal but well accepted in society(read about that topic in psychology. it helps a lot). Go on with ur life/sexual life, whatever u do. Just enjoy.



U walk on thin ice my friend...


Me, frustrated? What the f**ck is wrong with u, u english housewife. If u project ur poor sexual life in others, pls leave me out of it.

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


Stu, nice try, but I know about that fact. I go one step further. Some animals masturbate(like apes) some don't.
Some homos masturbate, some don't. Masturbation was long considered as disease and cured with ugly methods. Now it's completely normal.

Just one example. This disease drapetomania got a diagnosis in US&A and over time vanished. Same with homosexualizm.
For whatever reason... ;-)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapetomania


En contraire. This is a debate about nature/nuture. Some things are maybe given the rest is formed by circumstances. Just u think about that.

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


Because one thing is when it is done between a man and woman and the other if two men are doing it.
Anal sex in hetero relation is just a variation of sex, but again it's performed between 2 people with different gender.

Sex with the same gender is simply biological not "normal", but accepted in society and give a sh1t what they are doing.

All in total I really d not care what gay people, men or women are doin. It's their thing.

For me it's just annoying that the scientific in this discussion is put aside.


What are u talking about? U would like that experience? Go ahead. in normal hetero conditions it's usually a consens between the 2 partners. If not it's rape. OK?

Who is soddomising women? Are u living in the stone-ages?

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


OK, but do you honestly consider homosexual sex as normal? Or is it normal for you because somebody tells u so?


I guess southern makes a point here. If u all look up the link I posted earlier in this thread u would know what he meant.


Besides ur energetic statements, do u have some arguments to offer. It's not just about saying sth. Content is a part of every post, at least should be. ;-)

There is now a large body of research evidence that indicates that being gay, lesbian or bisexual is compatible with normal mental health and social adjustment.[59] The World Health Organization's ICD-9 (1977) listed homosexuality as a mental illness; it was removed from the ICD-10, endorsed by the Forty-third World Health Assembly on May 17, 1990.[61][62] Like the DSM-II, the ICD-10 added ego-dystonic sexual orientation to the list, which refers to people who want to change their gender identities or sexual orientation because of a psychological or behavioral disorder

Very bombastic statement.

For 1: The experts are still fighting over it what it is. I mean experts. ;-)

For 2: Very wisely spoken. Are u philosopher?

Feedback / The image of Poland according to PolishForums [90]

Is PF the place where the foreigners get the real image of Poland?

If u consider language, food, party, jobs etc, as a real picture, then yes.

Does it create good or bad image of Poland and polish people?

Don't have a clue since those like me "from the outside" are a little dominating, but sharing somehow interests/opinions.

Did it encourage you to visit / to live in Poland or did you change your mind?

I was in Poland in the middle of the 90's almost every week in Poland professionally and I liked it there. Of course I had my favorite places there ;-)

How the experiences shared here corresponds with yours?

For me this looks more like an EU/USA forum rather than a PF regarding the opinions promoted here.

Do you think there is too much pointless discussion on unimportant matters?

Not specially.

Do you think that the atmosphere here is friendly, neutral or hostile?

Depends. In case minorities are in the in "line of fire" all the radicals/fascists come out of the holes and give their best, including personal attacks. That should be better under the eye of admin. Hate and fascism is here in my perspective "en mode".

That's not quite matching, catholic church and competition.

I guess it's all about $$$$$$$$$$

I guess that US&A has enough under their control in Europe/EU. Their interests there are secured.

Btw, u canadian plunker, in EU nobody is dictating anything but following what's been said. A little bit cuddling with the russian bear was never for disadvantage. ;-)


Why so?

Study / Polish schools and Polish educational system level in your eyes [135]


I guess that depends on what they are studying and where. In Germany are noticeable differences in quality of universities. The better they are(standard, program), the better u get prepared. I guess it's everywhere in Europe like that.

German universities are not military schools.;-)


That's not correct.
The better ur average in gymnasium the better the chances u get a place at the uni u want. For some subjects/fields they have numerus clausus and entry tests.

The elite is usually formed at private institutions.

I understand ur point crow, but don't forget that the German state is actually doing quite a lot since they have 9% foreigners. That is sth u don't play with.
