Love / The importance of Catholicism during marriage with a Polish girl [44]
I'll keep it *really* short and sweet then: If Catholics and Christians of all denominations would *truly* believe that Jesus died for *all* of our sins, then *why* on earth are they *still* repenting and asking God for forgiveness?
How so? Did I mention *anywhere* that you should stop socializing with people who share your views? I'm just telling you why I believe it's not necessary to divide people and promote some kind of synthetic segregation, based on how we label each other, when we should simply *look* at each other for *who* we *are*, instead of what we believe in.
I guess only time will tell. Oh, and my girl already knows I'm anything *but* impotent, so maybe you should try a little *harder*?
;)
I just wish people could chill out, that's all.
:)
I've made up my own mind. (Half of Holland did!) Oh, and most things in life depend on luck, wether you like it or not. You can't *always* play safe.
Excuse me, but I *do* have my own values, and I *did* mention that I *would* try to teach them all about life and people as best as I can.
You're twisting my words there.
I'm saying that whenever people shut other people out because they happen to have different views, they *are* trying to make people behave the same. I don't misunderstand anything, because it's *actually* you who doesn't seem to understand what I've written, and the way you've twisted most of my words just proves that. So you really don't have to explain to people what I've written, because they can read it for themselves. (And that's *exactly* what I mean with allowing people to make up their *own* minds!)
;)
I don`t have time to look them up.
I'll keep it *really* short and sweet then: If Catholics and Christians of all denominations would *truly* believe that Jesus died for *all* of our sins, then *why* on earth are they *still* repenting and asking God for forgiveness?
No it doesnt, it sounds like lets throw everything into the air and see what happens.
How so? Did I mention *anywhere* that you should stop socializing with people who share your views? I'm just telling you why I believe it's not necessary to divide people and promote some kind of synthetic segregation, based on how we label each other, when we should simply *look* at each other for *who* we *are*, instead of what we believe in.
However, this part is really pathetic. It is not longer philosophy, it is a cry of an impotent. :):):)
I guess only time will tell. Oh, and my girl already knows I'm anything *but* impotent, so maybe you should try a little *harder*?

My differences place me above, pawian. A J and I see it much better than weak sticker folk.
I just wish people could chill out, that's all.

AJ's sentiments depend on luck, letting children be children and making their own minds up seems fine but this is not how it is in practice.
I've made up my own mind. (Half of Holland did!) Oh, and most things in life depend on luck, wether you like it or not. You can't *always* play safe.
There is a big world out there that draws children and without some grounding ie imposing your own values the kids will be lost.
Excuse me, but I *do* have my own values, and I *did* mention that I *would* try to teach them all about life and people as best as I can.
AJ then jumps from this free for all to them making rational decisions as though they were based on nothing and life experience is just not a good enough reason/explanation/philosophy.
You're twisting my words there.
His view that everyone thinks the same, behaves the same and so on misunderstands the community that we all belong to.
I'm saying that whenever people shut other people out because they happen to have different views, they *are* trying to make people behave the same. I don't misunderstand anything, because it's *actually* you who doesn't seem to understand what I've written, and the way you've twisted most of my words just proves that.

Love / The importance of Catholicism during marriage with a Polish girl [44]
Okay people, please hear me out, whether you are religious or not? I will try to explain what *I* think your religion *should* be about.
According to some texts, Jesus told people to love God like we love ourselves, and to love each other like we love ourselves, and he *also* told us that God is inside each and *everyone* of us, and that we are *all* a part of God ourselves. He told people that God is love. So in loving each other we *are* loving God, whether we realise this or not, believe this or not, follow these rules or not, make mistakes or not.
Why do you think that, according to various texts, Jesus told people that a servant of God serves all people? That's right, because he told people that we're all a part of God like God is a part of us. So in serving people you serve God according to Jesus. In loving people you love God. So come back to me when you love the Prnstar just as much as you love the Priest, because then you'd truly *understand* what Jesus *tried* to teach you.
:)
I have two words for you: Unconditional love. Do you *really* know what unconditional means? Are you sure? Because it seems to me you're *still* afraid..
You shouldn't do anything what someone else tell you. You should listen to your *own* heart and what it tells *you*, because that's the *only* way that you'll *ever* find love. It starts with accepting yourself for who you are, instead of judging yourself for who you are. I happen to respect people who believe in something, but of course that doesn't mean I'm *always* telling everyone non sense, and I'm certainly not telling you *any* lies here.
:)
Could there be anything *more* important in a relationship than loving each other for who we are to each other? (Apparently some people here seem to think so!)
:S
Oh really? So which is the part you disagree with? (I'm curious!)
Think about the future of your children for a second and be sensible, and have one or two children. I mean, do you *really* want your children to grow up in a world of twenty billion people or maybe even more, because everyone wants to have a lot of children?
I will let them be kids, and try to teach them about life and people as best as I can.
No. But don't worry, I'm not going to date someone who doesn't understand anything about life, and that's *exactly* why I've said mutual understanding is *very* important.
No. I believe children should be allowed to form their own opinions about life as they experience life for themselves in *all* freedom. How will children know *anything* about what's true or false if they're not allowed to experience the truth for themselves? How will children *ever* learn from anything if they're not allowed to make mistakes? How will fear of doing something wrong shape their character? How will that teach them *anything* about love, respect or tolerance?
No. I believe we're *all* human beings, and that *all* of us are *extremely* capable of being unpleasant towards one another, just as we are *all* capable of being good to each other, no matter how many labels we attach to ourselves to make ourselves look or sound different from one another. My philosophy is that the only remedy for hatred, intolerance and agression is to accept that we are *all* human beings.
Who knows? If I ever have kids, and they grow up, and they want to become Catholic out of their own free will as young adolescents who *are* capable of thinking for themselves, then who am I to tell them I will excommunicate them from my family if they would ever marry a Catholic girl or guy? All I care about is if they genuinely *love* each other.
Let me tell you one thing about life, because I think *everyone* who's mature enough will understand me; There's *always* a problem. But you know, I wouldn't have it any other way, because this means we *still* have the freedom to disagree with each other. It would be a *real* scary world if we would all think the same, talk the same, look the same and sound the same. I just hope that one day we will *all* agree about *one* thing though, and that's that you should be allowed to be yourself and allow others to be themselves as well. I don't see why we should shut each other out because of a different opinion, a different idea or a different belief when we can listen to each other, talk to each other and who knows we can learn a thing or two from each other in doing so.
According to some texts, Jesus told people there is no sin. But have it your way: According to Catholic texts, Jesus died for our sins. Either way: There is no sin. (According to me quite a few written words in quite a few sources are *lies* which were designed to keep people small.)
;))
Okay people, please hear me out, whether you are religious or not? I will try to explain what *I* think your religion *should* be about.
Catholics and Christians are taught to love GOD above everything so religion is first and foremost.
According to some texts, Jesus told people to love God like we love ourselves, and to love each other like we love ourselves, and he *also* told us that God is inside each and *everyone* of us, and that we are *all* a part of God ourselves. He told people that God is love. So in loving each other we *are* loving God, whether we realise this or not, believe this or not, follow these rules or not, make mistakes or not.

So come back to me when you love the Prnstar just as much as you love the Priest, because then you'd truly *understand* what Jesus *tried* to teach you.

We are only here a short time compared to eternity and your girlfriend wants to be in heaven for eternity.
I have two words for you: Unconditional love. Do you *really* know what unconditional means? Are you sure? Because it seems to me you're *still* afraid..
You should respect her for her religious beliefs or go with someone who doe not truly believe in GOD and does not care about eternal life.
You shouldn't do anything what someone else tell you. You should listen to your *own* heart and what it tells *you*, because that's the *only* way that you'll *ever* find love. It starts with accepting yourself for who you are, instead of judging yourself for who you are. I happen to respect people who believe in something, but of course that doesn't mean I'm *always* telling everyone non sense, and I'm certainly not telling you *any* lies here.
:)
Could anybody else have summarized things better? Great advice.
Could there be anything *more* important in a relationship than loving each other for who we are to each other? (Apparently some people here seem to think so!)
:S
Not so fast. :):):)
Oh really? So which is the part you disagree with? (I'm curious!)
Accept your partner`s beliefs, have a lot of children and teach them your wife`s faith.
Think about the future of your children for a second and be sensible, and have one or two children. I mean, do you *really* want your children to grow up in a world of twenty billion people or maybe even more, because everyone wants to have a lot of children?
What will you do if kids appear?
I will let them be kids, and try to teach them about life and people as best as I can.
Will you agree to your wife teaching them Catholicism?
No. But don't worry, I'm not going to date someone who doesn't understand anything about life, and that's *exactly* why I've said mutual understanding is *very* important.
When staying in Poland, will you agree to send them to Catholic religion classes at school?
No. I believe children should be allowed to form their own opinions about life as they experience life for themselves in *all* freedom. How will children know *anything* about what's true or false if they're not allowed to experience the truth for themselves? How will children *ever* learn from anything if they're not allowed to make mistakes? How will fear of doing something wrong shape their character? How will that teach them *anything* about love, respect or tolerance?
Accept Holy Communion? Confirmation?
No. I believe we're *all* human beings, and that *all* of us are *extremely* capable of being unpleasant towards one another, just as we are *all* capable of being good to each other, no matter how many labels we attach to ourselves to make ourselves look or sound different from one another. My philosophy is that the only remedy for hatred, intolerance and agression is to accept that we are *all* human beings.
Catholic wedding?
Who knows? If I ever have kids, and they grow up, and they want to become Catholic out of their own free will as young adolescents who *are* capable of thinking for themselves, then who am I to tell them I will excommunicate them from my family if they would ever marry a Catholic girl or guy? All I care about is if they genuinely *love* each other.
If your answer is yes, there won`t be any problem.
Let me tell you one thing about life, because I think *everyone* who's mature enough will understand me; There's *always* a problem. But you know, I wouldn't have it any other way, because this means we *still* have the freedom to disagree with each other.

does not care about eternal life

News / Conservative-liberalism (Laissez-faire liberalism), another utopia for Poland? [99]
Freedom and liberty go hand in hand with respect and equality, which is *exactly* what most people who are sympathetic to the whole concept of Liberalism fail to understand. (I'm not talking about equality in the Marxist sense either.) You can check all the scientific sources for yourself, because it *has* been established, without doubt, that societies in which there is more equality between people, show more self-development, more creativity, more productivity and development, increased technological advancement and more progression, and that societies in which there is more equality between people, suffer from far less crime and less aggression.
Often at the expense of someone else, because all that property you're talking about usually *already* belongs to those who had the opportunity to acquire it, which means that the ones *after* them, who might want to try to acquire an equal amount of property, will just have to keep drooling over what they can't possibly ever have. (Because whoever owns the most money dictates the whole game.) To simplify: It's like playing a boardgame of Monopoly with nine people, but one player *already* owns half of that board, which basically means that the chances of surviving the first round are slim for the rest of the players.
The way I see it, the government protects the interests of the wealthy elite while it keeps the rest of the people small. (And wether it does that on purpose or not would be a different discussion.) Did you know that a group as large as 10% of the total population in America owns almost 80% of all property? Now, how fair is that? What on earth does this have to do with freedom in any way?
What a nice way to keep your own selfish butt safe while you're basically denying and depriving other people of their share of happiness by rendering them useless. Outsourcing, automatization, buying up the competition and firing its people, excluding people from the labour market by hiring illegals or temporary workers to work for less than minimum wage. I could go on for ages..
No man *ever* succeeded on his own, so no man can decide what his life will look like, but I've noticed that you've already acknowledged this simple fact of life yourself a few paragraphs further down, so I think we're able to understand one another.
Now you're talking. *Your* land. Not mine. *Your* property. Not mine. But of course, I should generate my own wealth. But how to do that when the market is completely saturated? I mean, how to obtain my own property and my own land when *all* of that property and *all* of that land is owned by someone else already? It's a nice theory on paper, but practically speaking it just doesn't make sense.
If only it worked that way, but I'm afraid it all boils down to one thing these days: Are you born rich, or are you born poor? So good luck with *your* liberty my man, because I see a small group of wealthy people who are stripping other people of their dignity and their liberty completely, and wether you realise it or not, they're using the power that money buys to do just that. I mean, you can tell me to educate myself when it's too expensive for me to educate myself, and you can tell me that I'm free to pursue my own interests when employers aren't willing to pay me *any* more than the absolute minimum or even less, not to forget about the automatization or outsourcing of a *lot* of jobs to cheaper countries out there. (Child labour, slave labour.) But of course you *already* know that I - and so many others like me - won't get very far on our own when certain uncrupulous employers aren't willing to generate a little less profit - but they would still generate profit - by keeping jobs in their own country.
Not really. Okay, person A who is the town's farmer probably has nothing to complain about, but person B who is the carpenter probably lost his job to big corporates because the people who own and control the whole wood business decided that it would generate even more profit to outsource his job.
Ideally, yes. Realistically speaking: No. (Just look *around* you?) I'd say that the core concept of Liberalism and the free market looks good, but I'm afraid there are too many people out there who abuse their power and monopolize everything, leaving little to no room for other people to pursue their own interests. I totally agree that some people might still manage to develop themselves in the right direction, but you simply can't deny that there *are* a lot of people out there who simply lack the money to improve their own situation, while they *do* have the intellect or the talents to be *much* more than they currently are. Just look at Spain for example. 40% of its youth is jobless. Now, you can blame that on Socialism or whatever, but the truth is that the Bankers are to blame for this crisis. Nothing and no one else.
What kind of world do you live in I wonder? Have you honestly never heard of companies like Microsoft, who basically have a world-wide monopoly on certain services and products?
Don't get me wrong, it would be *awesome* if Liberalism worked the way it works on paper, and it *could* work just fine, but we'll have to reintroduce a bit of respect and equality in our societies. Which means that employers should be willing to pay their employees a little more than minimum wage when they're doing a good job, and that employers *certainly* shouldn't be allowed to hire illegals or outsource jobs to cheaper countries where they use children to perform heavy-labour.
I'm sure my post will come across as a bit chaotic and uneducated, but this is my take on it in a nutshell. I believe in fair rewards for honest work, regardless of who's the smartest cat in town. (I don't believe in zero-hour contracts, temporary jobs or outsourcing everything until *everyone* has to work for a nickle and an apple just because that'll benefit only a handful of businessmen and women.)
I'm sure that deep down, many people can find themselves in that, eventhough they might not agree with *everything* I've written here.
:)
Liberalism, not to be mistaken with the American contemporary liberal, is a theory of freedom and liberty.
Freedom and liberty go hand in hand with respect and equality, which is *exactly* what most people who are sympathetic to the whole concept of Liberalism fail to understand. (I'm not talking about equality in the Marxist sense either.) You can check all the scientific sources for yourself, because it *has* been established, without doubt, that societies in which there is more equality between people, show more self-development, more creativity, more productivity and development, increased technological advancement and more progression, and that societies in which there is more equality between people, suffer from far less crime and less aggression.
It is one where the individual is free and responsible to pursue his own actions.
Often at the expense of someone else, because all that property you're talking about usually *already* belongs to those who had the opportunity to acquire it, which means that the ones *after* them, who might want to try to acquire an equal amount of property, will just have to keep drooling over what they can't possibly ever have. (Because whoever owns the most money dictates the whole game.) To simplify: It's like playing a boardgame of Monopoly with nine people, but one player *already* owns half of that board, which basically means that the chances of surviving the first round are slim for the rest of the players.
However, liberalism depends on government and one could say it plays the most essential role in the entire free enterprise system. That is, that government must protect life and private property.
The way I see it, the government protects the interests of the wealthy elite while it keeps the rest of the people small. (And wether it does that on purpose or not would be a different discussion.) Did you know that a group as large as 10% of the total population in America owns almost 80% of all property? Now, how fair is that? What on earth does this have to do with freedom in any way?
For if one does not feel safe, they can not pursue their interests. Let me clarify because the political left seems to get quite confused when it comes to the word life, all that means is the right to live safely, without fear of bodily harm.
What a nice way to keep your own selfish butt safe while you're basically denying and depriving other people of their share of happiness by rendering them useless. Outsourcing, automatization, buying up the competition and firing its people, excluding people from the labour market by hiring illegals or temporary workers to work for less than minimum wage. I could go on for ages..
Not a guarantee for a certain satisfaction of life, that is for man to decide for himself, but rather just to remove the basic fear of being threatened.
No man *ever* succeeded on his own, so no man can decide what his life will look like, but I've noticed that you've already acknowledged this simple fact of life yourself a few paragraphs further down, so I think we're able to understand one another.
The second of the two, the protection of private property is a must that can never be jeopardized. I need to feel safe to ensure that my land for cultivation will be safe too. This is where basic laws and enforcers of the laws come in (police and military). They are there to uphold the protection of life and property.
Now you're talking. *Your* land. Not mine. *Your* property. Not mine. But of course, I should generate my own wealth. But how to do that when the market is completely saturated? I mean, how to obtain my own property and my own land when *all* of that property and *all* of that land is owned by someone else already? It's a nice theory on paper, but practically speaking it just doesn't make sense.
In allowing man to be free to pursue his interests, he can actually reach his full potential in society.
If only it worked that way, but I'm afraid it all boils down to one thing these days: Are you born rich, or are you born poor? So good luck with *your* liberty my man, because I see a small group of wealthy people who are stripping other people of their dignity and their liberty completely, and wether you realise it or not, they're using the power that money buys to do just that. I mean, you can tell me to educate myself when it's too expensive for me to educate myself, and you can tell me that I'm free to pursue my own interests when employers aren't willing to pay me *any* more than the absolute minimum or even less, not to forget about the automatization or outsourcing of a *lot* of jobs to cheaper countries out there. (Child labour, slave labour.) But of course you *already* know that I - and so many others like me - won't get very far on our own when certain uncrupulous employers aren't willing to generate a little less profit - but they would still generate profit - by keeping jobs in their own country.
It makes everyone in society reliant upon each other and brings the closest reality of peace to man possible. Everyone becomes intertwined in their economic interests. So we have person A who is the town farmer, person B who is a carpenter.
Not really. Okay, person A who is the town's farmer probably has nothing to complain about, but person B who is the carpenter probably lost his job to big corporates because the people who own and control the whole wood business decided that it would generate even more profit to outsource his job.
They must work together based on the division of labor instituted through the system. The division of labor is a very important aspect because none of us can secure all our needs on our own, thus depending upon others.
Ideally, yes. Realistically speaking: No. (Just look *around* you?) I'd say that the core concept of Liberalism and the free market looks good, but I'm afraid there are too many people out there who abuse their power and monopolize everything, leaving little to no room for other people to pursue their own interests. I totally agree that some people might still manage to develop themselves in the right direction, but you simply can't deny that there *are* a lot of people out there who simply lack the money to improve their own situation, while they *do* have the intellect or the talents to be *much* more than they currently are.

Life / What do you generally think about Poles? [62]
I think most of you guys are okay, and probably a bit friendlier and probably more decent than some of my own fellow countrymen are, once you open up a little and actually *allow* someone to get to know the real you. You guys sometimes seem a bit too suspicious and paranoid though, but perhaps that's because of some of the treatment you're probably recieving from a couple of spoiled brats abroad who look down on foreigners who do small jobs? Who knows it has something to do with recent history as well, although it *does* seem to be part of your culture to enter the room with a healthy dose of distrust?
Please don't take any offense, because all in all, most of the Polish guys and girls that I've met have been nothing but great company and true friends, despite of all our little differences. (We're not so different after all, but perhaps our environments differ a *lot*?) Bottom line: Most of you guys and girls are perfectly alright once you get to know yourselves, and you folks can be really warm and welcoming sometimes, especially when you're able to relate to some people. I've noticed a lot of Polish people dislike those spoilt Westerners, and for good reasons, but I've also noticed they respect a hard worker when they see one. I suppose one of the things I like about Polish people is that they still have some good old-fashioned values when it comes to such things, although I have to say I'm not much for religion, and prefer a bit more open-mindedness when it comes to a few things.
But I respect your working mentality. Just don't make the mistake of thinking we're all spoiled Capitalists, because no matter how much some people complain about stereotypes on this forum, you just *know* you guys have some prejudices towards us as well. That's okay, just keep an open mind and allow people to prove otherwise.
:)
so .. what do you think about us?

Life / IS Poland in danger of becoming the next multi cultural sink hole? [201]
Yes we are and no it isn't. But what would be *your* problem with people who want to live and work in Poland when you need them, regardless of where they're coming from? Not everyone's a Terrorist or a criminal you know!
I'm not going to claim to have a monopoly on the truth, but what you're trying to tell everyone here isn't a solution either. Why do you need to have a problem with people who work and behave themselves, regardless of where they're coming from or what they believe in? You don't have to be best friends with them if you don't want to. Of course there are a few differences which you can choose to magnify and make ultra-important, but really most people just want to live their life, just like you. What's so scary about that?

bacause We are talking about the future?it is not such a distant one

oh come on, be more specific, everyone knows, there is no Poles in Poland anymore, so why understate the numbers, You dont have to be gentle with us, We dont need it as long as You are telling the truth...

The people that care the most about the "racial purity" of Polska are the ones that live in other countries?

Classifieds / 'Silent Party' - Poznań [5]
You'd think the purpose of a party was to have fun and talk to other people, but no.. You should put your headphones on!
I understand why. (But the idea of a silent party *does* have comical value in a real sad way.) Oh my, I'm probably getting old.. In *our* time - LOL! - the purpose of a party was to get as loud as possible, and gee, I don't know.. Talk to girls??

Let's talk about being retarded for a second, shall we? (This is going to be good, I promise!)
So if they would never in their lives want to see *any* coloured people, then why in the nine hells would they choose to live in a country like Brazil or Israel?

the majority of the posters on here are so damn retarded. honestly.

EVERY polish person i know and talk to, including my huge polish extended family (living all across europe, in brazil, israel, and US) all say that they would never in their lives want to see 'colored' people - aka asians, africans, arabs - in their country.

That's why I said at least, which in this case, was a *very* modest estimation, to say the least. (But thanks for adjusting it!) My point was though: Poland doesn't have to deal with immigration on such a huge scale, and they're probably losing more people than gaining people at the moment, so why even complain about people who might want to work and live there in the future?
:S
You lost one zero, i heard it is 20 million

Oh, this is just brilliant!
We have Grubas here, a Polish immigrant himself, who has probably been living in America for longer than six months since he's enjoying benefits, who out of *all* people, feels *he* has the right to tell other foreigners they can't work or live in Poland for longer than six months?
Comedy gold!
Ah! Jarnowa! (Buddy!) A Belgian - read foreigner - who lives in Poland, who *also* complains about other foreigners who *might* come to Poland. (Because they're actually not many foreigners in Poland, especially not if you compare Poland to England, which is harbouring at least two million Polish immigrants at the moment!)
So I'm asking all of you good folks back home who might be reading all of this nonsense: Can it get any better than this?? (I wouldn't believe it myself!)

Are you ******* kidding me dude?Poland has enough workers only the wages are still low and the immigrants certainly DO NOT help to fix this problem.

Sorrry to burst your bubbly but when Poland catches up to the western standard of industrialization they will need alot more skilled labor....and they will come from elsewhere too.

Take some Tulips and a good recipe for cheese with you, because I've only just recently heard from a Polish guy that they're dying for some good yellow cheese over there! Make sure that they can't ever tell you that you haven't contributed anything and well.. Make us proud Stu!

Gee, I feel so welcome! Thank you so much Grubas!

Because Poland *also* has laws which enable foreign people to ask for a work-permit or temporary VISA? (Just remember that Poland will need workers too in the not-so-distant future!)

We have to tolerate "Westerners" in Poland since Poles can live in "Western" Europe but there is no reason whatsover to tolerate foraigners from countries outside the EU. Personally for obvious reason I tolerate Americans living in Poland but the rest OUT!
Gee, I feel so welcome! Thank you so much Grubas!

What kind of **** is this?Why is it ok for other nationalities (not EU)to live in Poland?Give me one reason for that,we (unlike you)don't owe them anything so "colonial guilt" is not a valid reason.

You're aware of the fact that Polish people are integrating over here by the millions, aren't you? So in your theory it's perfectly fine for a Polish person to cross the border in search for happiness in Western Europe or elsewhere, but it somehow isn't for Western Europeans or other nationalities to live in your country? I'm sorry, but if the shoe fits you should wear it.

ok, it is all fine as long as they do integrate and it doesnt happen in such big numbers as in the West,

Before and during the renaissance, Poland *was* multi-cultural, and since a lot of you people seem to be so proud of that era, I'm sure you're able to acknowledge that the exchange of culture doesn't have to be a negative thing per se.
Damn right.
Take your chill-pill and enjoy your day in your elderly home, because you have nothing to fear from Western Europeans. But you knew that already.
You're right, we should let a group of racists - mostly from America - represent Poland on this forum and not give them any opposition while they're pretending to be someone they're not. I don't think so.

Dont worry the entire world will become multi cultural as soon as people finally realise we are all one born into the same world and that we are all equal.
Damn right.
Can poland maintain its identity now the western european trash can cross its borders when ever it feels like? Will white become shite ?

She said on another thread that she had small eyes and yellow skin , so i kinda guessed she was Chinese , or from some part of the orient...

This is what Jesus *really* preached: There are no sins. Of course *that* message rendered their religion useless, so that's the *real* reason as to why he got crucified.

Jesus came to preach against the practices of the Pharisees, who just cared about how they looked in the eyes of other worshippers.
