News / British senior politician compares Poland to South Africa during apartheid [129]

I don't agree with you, as well you know. Not only is your "statement inaccurate"; it is also disingenuous.mwords are not 'cheap' and words and actions reinforce each other. There is only one race, and racist behaviour must be stopped, decisively and right away.

I didn't expect you to agree with me, just like I don't agree with you either.
Very often people say things without taking any actions, it's a fact of life.

"There's only one race"? excuse me??? Read it again what you said, Jon. If you said, we're all humans, I'd agree with you but saying that there's only one race, makes your "statement very inaccurate", right, Jon? ;-)

What if a black person votes a guy in for president because they are black? Is that racism?

Well, according to Harry's statement above (#98), it is racism, very likely, Right, Harry ;-)

When I say "racist reasons" I mean 'thinking that people of another racist are inferior to one's own race'

what about sex appeal, Harry?

I wouldn't say that is in itself racist (although it is somewhat unlikely that one is only attracted to one's own race for reasons other than racist reasons).

You're a smart guy, Harry but you need to delete your statement (above) before anyone will actually read it (LOL)

As long as that is the reason and the fact that he's black doesn't factor in at all, of course one isn't racist!

Yeah but the thing is, that people are being judged before they even get a chance to explain it and in most cases, even after they explain it, no one really believes it and still calls them racists.

None of those examples you give are actually racism. However much you think or pretend it has become a 'cheap word' doesn't for one minute impact on the fact that it is one of the worst behaviours of Homo Sapiens.

Thank you for agreeing with me, Jon but don't forget that this "behavior" is as old as humanity and so, as long as it's just words and not actions, why worry about it? Most of us just say things but will never really do any of it. Let people talk, words are cheap, who cares.

racism

Generally saying, racism became a very cheap word nowadays.

A girl who wouldn't sleep with a black guy is a racist. Whoever is against Obama and hates rap and hip hop is a racist.

C'mon guys, what about personal preferences???
What if one is simply not sexually attracted to another races?
What if one doesn't like Obama simply because he sucks as a president?
What if one hates rap and hip hop, simply because it's a terrible "music"?. All they do is talking instead to sing and most of what they say, doesn't make any sense or is insulting and vulgar.

De gustibus non est disputandum !!!

They did not kill ducky and they are not out to bring Poland down.

well, you can't blame Poles for having their thoughts, look what happened in the past. Besides, saying that they "didn't kill ducky" is a joke, I hope you realize that. Other than Chinese no one ever killed more people that the Russians (just look at the Soviet Union).

Better for everybody who does not enjoy being racially abused.

All I can say is that I was never "racially abused" in Poland whatsoever. I had a few bar fights and got cheated on my bills here and there, that's all. OK, I do have to say that I've heard some derogatory comments about Jews every now and then but as long as no one physically abuses you, who cares, right?

That is no excuse for not trying to make Poland better.

Better for who? You see, here we go, you want it to be better according to your standards and you're not Polish, right?
Whatever happens in Poland, has to be "better" for Poles and not for you or anyone else.

They joined the EU so..............
They have chosen not to be alone. Your point is pointless.

Yes, they did join the EU and I bet some of them don't like it. Tell me something, do you like your country's policy? Do you always support it?

I don't think so and I bet, many Poles feel the same way about their government too.

Still, you have a choice to stay away from Poland if you don't like it.

News / British senior politician compares Poland to South Africa during apartheid [129]

Let me put it this way, if a group of African Americans (to pick a race which you clearly are not a member of) started abusing your children, calling them "Fcuking crackers/yids/chinks/pakis" [delete whichever racial slurs do not apply], would you consider that to be in any way acceptable? No? So why do you expect other people to accept it.

Racism is wrong; it is that simple.

Racism is wrong, so much is true but still, don't go to Poland if you don't like it, it's not your country, right?

Besides, I was in Poland and it's not really as bad as everyone is painting it here.. Did I like everything about Poland, NO but it doesn't matter, I don't have to like it, it's not my country. Nothing and no one is perfect.

British senior politician compares Poland to South Africa during apartheid

Now, this bs is going way too far guys!!!

Why the hell is everyone trying to shape Poland to their needs and standards? I hate it when people do it with the US so I understand Poles when they want their country to be what they want it to be. I do have to say that western Europe is really bad about it. You guys believe that your way of thinking is the only right way of thinking and whoever feels differently, is wrong.

As long as Poles like Poland the way it is, leave it the f/ck alone, it's not your country.
I'm not defending just Poland, I'm defending us here too. I don't want America to become another United Kingdom or any other country for that matter.

Don't go to Poland … because you could end up coming back in a coffin

OK, it might be a little dangerous to go to Poland during the soccer championship time but other than that, I don't see any problem at all. I was in Poland and other than a few bar fights, nothing ever happened, no big deal.

Life / Which services is Poland still waiting for? [218]

us steaks are good for only one reason, they are loaded with growth hormones, and that's why us beef cannot be imported in Europe. Gimme argentinian steak anytime.

Go to the freakin' farmers market if you have a problem with it. It's not like you can't get good food here.

News / Anty-Polish v column is located in White House [88]

Jews are not a nation

You can call it any way you want but It doesn't change the fact that hating an entire nation, ethnic group, race or religion is wrong. If you really have to hate someone, then hate Mary or Frank who accidentally are Jewish, Polish, American etc. but not everyone around them too, simply because they belong to the same group of people.

Hey in Poland some people are suspicious of Jews and Jewish interaction with Poles after 1989 (mostly American Jews) only make stronger that suspicious and dislike.
What strange and wrong with that ?

The idea of hating or disliking an entire nation is wrong. It would be wrong in any other case too (for example if one says that he hates Poles, Americans, English etc.)

I don't know about hate but it is not crime to dislike somebody is it?

absolutely not, you can like or not anyone you want (as long as you don't hurt anyone).

I only replied to Monia because she basically denied anti-semitism in Poland.
She said: "their constant nonsense claims of Polish anti- semitism".

It should be easy for you to understand it if you scroll up and read what got it all started. Nothing serious ironside, I'm only stating that some of you guys (considerable amount), don't like or even hate Jews and we all know it's true.

News breaking in America in the last hour

he really needs to go. Not only because of Walesa of course, he sucks in general.

A poll conducted in their own editorial office ;), simple rubish :), not worth of any assessment :).

To have fair opinion about the level of anti-semitism in Poland you should read a book ....

Pick your link:

google.pl/q=antysemityzm+w+polsce

besides, no need to read that or any other book, I was in Poland myself and I've met quite a few people who didn't like Jews. Listen, I'm not saying that all of you hate them but to say that no one or only a few you of you do, is an exaggeration and you know it.

Gazeta Wyborcza is not a good example

I accidentally picked that one out of many possibilities. Here's another one

racjonalista.pl/kk.php/s,1947

The internet is full of it. I don't believe that whoever writes about it in Poland is a Jew.

which is displayed by a lot of Jews with their constant nonsense claims of Polish anti- semitism .

c'mon girl, you can't deny that many Poles don't like Jews. It's a known fact even in Poland.

Half of our readers believe that anti-Semitism has long been common in our country and it is not socially stigmatized . On the other hand, 12 percent . considers that no anti-Semitism does not exist. The results of our probe with 15 hours .

In a recent " Newsweek " Tomasz Lis said that in Poland " anti-Semitism and hatred are still going strong ," and is not a marginal attitude . In support of their argument has calculated that the kiosks are still available anti-Semitic pisemka , forums entries appear on Pejsach , Szechterach and enemies of the nation , and in the stadiums outcry anti-Semitic slogans .


(I chose this link because it's probably more convincing that any English or American link)

Love / Do you think that Polish should stick to Polish? [128]

Do you think that Polish should stick to Polish?

Of course, you guys need stick to your kind, especially when you live abroad (freaking ridiculous). Why did you decide to live in another country if you don't care about having your host country's friends? If you love Poland so much then why not just stay in Poland?

Nothing's wrong with Poland and Poles but be real people, if you decide to leave Poland, stick to your decision and at least try to adjust to the new environment.

why do many Polish women that come to America say they want any man except a Polish man?

Well, I'm not saying it to bash you guys but I've heard it to from quite a few Polish girls before too.
