Life / Individualism in Polish culture...Is it almost Nonexistant? [170]

Boletus,she's asking if Polish cultural mindset allows for individualism,had she said Polish cultural mindset doesn't;She's asking not stating,at least from what you quoted.Big difference where you put doesn't.

I know this is the type of thread is provocative,but can we keep to the topic and not what you think of her state of mind.This is a tough thread,I know.Thank you.

I actually do like you Nickidewbear,even if you don't believe it.You have Huzpah!I haven't twisted anything.I think you are a good person,I just think that you are too quick to dismiss what people say.If you read you're posts and some of your knee jerk reactions with a convicted heart,you will see what I'm talking about.This is how we grow.If I didn't like you;I wouldn't be discussing with you as much as I have.I'm not perfect and I'm trying to be fair,I apologize if you can't see it that way.Btw,I could care less if the surname was Spanish or not and I don't have a dog in the race..

It doesn't,matter that's your opinion,which you can't prove one way or the other if they did.Magdalena had her opinion and she explains what she meant in 55,you disregard it and if any one differs with you they have to be evil,is basically what you just said.You don't care that you were offensive to me.or even acknowledge that I'm trying to be fair.She said they wouldn't have had the time,therefore did not delegitimize any aspect of the inquisition.Your taking what this Powell said and running with it as if she has the final say.Your saying that this is solid fact and that there were records and they were destroyed.This is theory;nothing more,nothing less.So you and I are going to agree to disagree.

And I said that you're saying that I am against you.and she didn't delegitimize the inquisition and if we did a poll,I'm sure others would agree,She never said the inquisition didn't happen.

Nickidewbear,I have done nothing but defend you on your other thread and now because I don't agree with what you said about Magdelena,means I support them against you,You can say what you want,but I am fair and whether you agree with me or not,I have to admit,that that is offensive,what you have just said about us mods and I don't think I deserve it,Sometimes you have to take a step back and look at yourself.If am wrong I will be the first to admit it and I can be wrong.If I were to be wrong,it still wouldn't mean that I support the others against you.Just as I defend your right to your opinions,I defend theirs.

Again read 55.

Genealogy / Is Czarnecki Really A Polish Or Actually A Sephardic Jewish Surname? [110]

Did you read post 55?

Genealogy / Is Czarnecki Really A Polish Or Actually A Sephardic Jewish Surname? [110]

Nickidewbear,you brought up the inquisition and she didn't delegitimize it.You really need to read what was said.most of the posts have dealt with your topic.When you introduce other issues to support your claim,people are going to respond to that.I'm not going to debate this with you,it hasn't been hijacked.

Genealogy / Is Czarnecki Really A Polish Or Actually A Sephardic Jewish Surname? [110]

Nickidewbear,I wouldn't say they hijacked your thread because for the most part it stayed on topic.Disagreeing with you is not hijacking a thread,if your going to make the claim you have,people are going to debate it.

Rybnik,lol,I didn't think there would be more than 2;let alone 9.I'm sure the driver's been catching a lot of flack and won't make that mistake anytime soon.

Jon357,Why do you feel he needs to be berated more.The situation was dealt with.He's probably being chided everywhere he goes'anyway.

UK, Ireland / Crying Polish truck driver on British roads is Internet hit [269]

Wow I can't believe we are 9 pages into this discussion,PlasticPole,I agree the problem needs to be addressed;What if the driver had to pull over to rest and absolutely couldn't drive anymore?They really need to extend the width of the emergency lane drastically.It's very foolish,how

narrow they have these lanes.

Des Essientes,just on my laptop,Thank you for the apology.

UK, Ireland / Crying Polish truck driver on British roads is Internet hit [269]

Des Esseintes,Got that out of your system,Here is something you need to know right now,I don't want to be in any duel with you.If you can't see

how I would infer that that's fine;the debate becomes circular.I apologize where it is needed.I don't critique the way you post,please don't do that

to me.I will post my way period.I apologized for my reaction and let you know where it came from.You're abrasive even when you don't intend it.

As for my moderating you don't know the half.I treat you with respect,I may not always agree with you.but I do treat you with respect,I expect the

same.

Des Essenties,any one who would read your prior posts on this matter would draw the same "strange conclusions".You said I exaggerated the

magnitude,when I used the figure of speech messed up;most people understand that means the same as made a mistake.Maybe it was wrong

for me to assume that you did,if so;my bad.You equated messed up to a mess,I know you're brighter than that.You said that he is more of a man because he doesn't lick the shoes of authority,like some groveling craven dog;or something to that effect.It's not that I didn't read it clearly

it's that you should be more clear about who you are referring to when you say let's not make this a contest for being an authoritarian square.

You know;stuff like that.It's simple;He was on the shoulder,he was told by others that he couldn't stay there,he didn't leave.When the cops

came he cried;I attribute this to him thinking he was going to be arrested,again,understandable,He wasn't,he got a ticket,he went home

and hopefully he doesn't park on the shoulder again.I concede that I didn't have to say man up;ok.

Des Essenties,I have read your posts more clearly and You were right,I read them less clearly then you wrote them,My reaction was knee jerk;

When you said I exaggerated the offence and let's not have a contest to be an authoritarian square,I realize I just misread your intent.For this

apologize.

UK, Ireland / Crying Polish truck driver on British roads is Internet hit [269]

Des Essenties,you know that I didn't exaggerate the magnitude by using the figure of speech messed up.Had I said mistake;you would have called that an exaggeration to.You act as if what he did was totally legal and that the Police extremely overreacted by giving him a ticket.You

don't actually have to say anything;You're implications are clear enough..

UK, Ireland / Crying Polish truck driver on British roads is Internet hit [269]

Rybnik do you think it's possible that he may have been worried because of the knife?The call was reported that he was waving a knife at

the other motorists,If he overheard the caller,now the situation could becomes a different ballgame;were the cops to pursue it.I really don't

know;my instincts tell me that he thought he was going to be arrested,but I may be wrong.My point was he got a ticket and went on his way

No big deal.It's to bad that it had to be all over the tv and internet.

UK, Ireland / Crying Polish truck driver on British roads is Internet hit [269]

Des Essenties,By messed up,just a figure of speech;You probably would have said the same thing if I said he made a mistake.I'm not trying to

make you look like an authoritarian square.If I was hungry,I may well have done the same thing,but I definitely would not be shocked if a cop

came and gave me a ticket.I don't doubt for a second that he is a good man,I don't think it makes him any less.Is you want to make the man

a poster boy for the savage,brutal and appalling treatment of people at the hands of the police;go ahead.I think he thought he was going to get arrested and cried;understandable;he wasn't.He got a ticket and went on his way.
