Love / Polish women- submissive or dominant? [58]

The Poles tend not to discuss sexual issues that much but Balkan folk more so.

Old people maybe :) Maybe I'm just not hanging around the classy folks...

Life / Polish-American Polka Music in Poland [60]

Never heard any rapcrap selection with any Polish references whatsoever.

If you're talking about rap, there are quite a few Polish rappers.

I repeat -- if polka music were played on the radio in Poland, it would gain some popularity.

Why not play what people want to hear, and what they buy in the stores? Young people apparently don't want to listen to Polka. Come to think of it, I've never heard Polka coming out of any friends car radios...or played at any parties..

I've never heard Polka played here. I'm sure you could find some Polka groups if you put some effort into it, but I don't know anyone that listens to Polka.

News / John Godson, born in Nigeria, might become Poland Sejm's first black deputy! [313]

AHA! Now the truth comes out.. We Americans are racist.. But Englanders are allowed to discriminte.. OK1 Now I understand.. Its a double standard. Uh HUH

You're not following. Those English people that hold those views are bigots, much like Americans that hold the same views, tarring over entire races as opposed to just coming out straight with it and focusing on the bad behavior. Nationality doesn't have anything to do with it, try to stay away from that straw man.

Why is it that here in the states, I never witnessed that.? During my whole long life, all of my recolections were that poles were hard workers. Along with other European immigrants.. Is there an explanation for this.?

There exists a sizable group in the UK that see Poles the same way as you see minorities in the States.

I dont know why Poles are treated like they are in England.

Because Poles come to the UK and work illegally under the table undercutting local workers, they leech off of benefits, they're criminals, and they have a strange backwards culture that is unwanted. They refuse to speak the language, they're taking over neighborhoods, they live four to a room, they steal, are unambitious, sit around drunk all the time...

Wait, that all sounds very familiar... Are you right about blacks? Are a handful of bigoted Brits right about Poles? Maybe you're right and they're wrong? Oh, it's all so confusing. Are Poles hard working immigrants that reach the tops of the social hierarchy in their host countries, or are they lazy slobs who just leech off of welfare?

Life / The Polish school? What's it like. [26]

Any reforms of education have to take place within a framework of traditional cultural values.

A good start would be to undo all reforms since 1989.

trener zolwia, i'm happy to see a proud Pole (i assume you are Polish) after all the Polish people here on this forum who don't care if their country would be invaded with people from 3rd world.

That's actually an interesting comment. The vast majority of negative comments about Blacks/Jews/Arabs/Russians/Germans, etc come from people living abroad. Again, just based on the comments, it would appear that people in Poland don't really care. Granted, we don't really pull the "bigoted Pole living in Poland" demographic very well as it seems they're not big internet users. Nonetheless, the divide in the comments is very interesting.

News / Poland has low murder rate [60]

It's not on a level like our black urban areas. And a lot of Russian crime is Mob related. Organized crime is hardly poverty related either.

It's worse, and what is called "gang" in the US is called "mob" over here

But they're nothing like every single black area of every single city. They're not even comparable. You don't see block after block of destroyed buildings, that look like something out of WWII Europe after the Germans came through, in any white areas like we do in black areas.

I can't speak for urban areas, but in mid size cities, there are blocks upon blocks of duplexes and tenement housing that look like warzones. Lawton Oklahoma, or Midwest City, or Wichita Falls...

If American Blacks were their own country they would top the world list of murders per capita.

Liberia is ok right now, my next destination actually...

Then my wife would have some explaining to do. And I'd have me a little servant! :D

But seriously, just close your eyes and imagine for me, say you adopt a kid from Mali, being the kind spirit that you are...

Sure. But I don't want the solution to cost me any more than it already has.
Blacks with all their social and criminal issues have cost us trillions over the years. And we haven't seen much of a return. Enough is enough.

Sure, stupid solutions are enough, would you be willing to spend money to get rid of the problem? I would. Problem is, no decent solution has been presented. Lets present one. And if it's attacked, both you and I will defend it. Use the Independents....

No. But again, they are the exception to the rule. They're not violent criminals so they are proof that a life of crime leads to poverty. They're also proof that our country doesn't discriminate.

Absolutely.

Mostly blacks. No sense trying to deny reality. I don't play that PC game.

Here's a PC game for you, explain crime in Russia. Is it because of blacks? Asians?

There's that black culture. You never, ever, see white ghettos here. Even in lower class white places you never see destroyed slums like we do in every single black urban area of every single city.

I would tend to disagree. Just about every mid sized city in "middle America" has white ghettos full of meth addicts, thieves, and all around worthless people. I can name plenty of places in Texas and Oklahoma..

It's like the difference between Poland and Africa.

Don't quite understand the comment, but again, the majority of the countries on the naitonmaster list are White Europeans mixed with Indians.

No. My kid would get endlessly attacked by the racist savages because he would be white.

And if your kid were black? P.S., plenty of successful white kids from BPS

Not our problem to fix.

Why not? Wouldn't you like to see the problem solved? What is your solution?

Now, now... We need to let them continue to kill one another in their urban jungles.

Fair enough, a solution is a solution.

So that's definitely not the way to go. By allowing a black to "represent" Poles, Poland starts to follow Western Europe.

How is he not a Pole? Apparently he's Catholic, knows his Slavic history, and speaks Polish. What's the problem? The man can represent his constituents in the Sejm.

News / Poland has low murder rate [60]

You brought it up.

You mentioned genetics....

Again, the rare exception to the rule. Look at that list of countries again... or look at much of black Africa... or every black urban area in America...

Looks like the majority consists of white Europeans mixed with Indians...

They're the problem here.

Do you have problems with middle class black people where you live? How about rich blacks?

Why ignore reality? Who does that serve other than the black criminals? That's like the Lying Lib Media railing against Bush for every little stupid thing but then they give Obama a pass even on big things. Crap.

Because the problem is criminals, not blacks. To solve the problem, you first figure out who is causing the problem. In the US, just like th rest of the world, it's poor people. Poor blacks, whites, mexicans...

Ask them. For one thing they have been raised on a steady diet of 'whitey was mean to us years ago' and all that continues the black bitterness today. They consider it paybacks. They really feel as if they are owed something for events that took place long before they were even alive. And they spend their lives with that racial chip on their shoulders.

Some of them do, sure, the vast majority are just in a fucked situation and don't have the balls to bring themselves out of it. The question is, how do we deal with that? Would your kid succeed in a downtown Baltimore school? If so, why? If not, why not? How can you and I help to fix that and make them productive members of society? Are those kids lost? Do they need to be exterminated?

As for the Hispanics... You ever go to one of the resorts in say, Mexico or the Bahamas? They're very nice and plush... and they're all surrounded by 16 foot high fences with the perimeter patrolled by guards in paramilitary uniforms carrying automatic weapons. Makes you feel safe... also makes you wonder just what they are protecting you from beyond the compound fence. It's like the Green Zone in Iraq.

Never been to any resorts, did drive from Austin to San Salvador in an old beat up Regal though.

It's mostly the mindset of the black culture. This is The Land Of Opportunity. And anymore discrimination against minorities is a myth. If anything, whites get discriminated against more here today. And we're not permitted to ponder how genetics factors into all this; that's not PC. :s

Who's talking about discrimination. I'm just saying that the Caymans are a safer place to live than the US, even with a majority black population...

Surely with that in consideration, you can't defend "blacks" being the problem, maybe "piece of shit criminals" is the problem? Why not just rail against that? Whites, blacks, mexicans, asians, whatever....

What is it about "black culture" that makes them criminals?

Life / Why Poland is "surprised" by winter and snow every year? [192]

Don't they sell firewood over there by the cord like they do over here? Cord is our firewood unit of measure here.

Wood is sold by cubic meter. Like gas, water, and just about everything else :)

News / Poland has low murder rate [60]

Again, this has nothing to do with poverty or need and everything to do with blacks' caveman criminal mentality of just taking something they want without working for it. And most often the target of their crimes are whitey whom they have been taught to resent for long ago historical grievances. They feel entitled, like whitey owes it to them.

For what it's worth, a friend of a friend in Fort Worth, who is about as Mexican as one can be, shot two white folks while they were breaking into his house. You can google it if you want :)

Criminality is closer related to socioeconomic status than race. Now, the question is, why are certain groups of people in that economic class. Because of the culture? Opportunities? Discrimination? Genetics?

Same goes for Poland... my vote is destructive culture due to nannying. Cayman Islands vs Haiti... Same demographics, one is a cesspit of violence, and the other is about as dangerous as Switzerland...

Life / How many Americans live in Poland? [13]

In January make that February and so on, the Poland has you..... and you aint getting away that easily.

The lease is up at the end of February, I've got someone to take it over from the end of December, ergo, one less in January :) . Will be heading over to the US for Christmas, already have an apartment in Hungary, and a place to stay in Croatia (with a certain mutual acquaintance). I've given away pretty much all of the kitchen, and people have dibs on the furniture :)

I'm a free man, nothing tying me down and I have a bit of wanderlust... Interestingly enough, I just registered myself with the "eventual in-law" here in Wroclaw, need to register a vehicle...a Niva :)

....my escape is imminent!

Life / Expats in Poland - would you fight for your new country? [105]

It's not only special forces, and they were also in Iraq. Poland decided it was in its best interest to fight there. There's a thread on it.

Personally, I'm in "I wouldn't fight blindly for any nation" camp. I'd fight for people, and for reasons that I agree with.

Would you guys really fight for your country if it attacked another unprovoked and for no discernible reason?

500,000 with 37% being immigrants, plus about that amount commute to work in Luxembourg. One year of 4 murders and another of 1 can have a huge impact.

News / Poland has low murder rate [60]

Interesting to note, Poland excludes "assault leading to death" in homicide statistics, along with Estonia, and Greece. Spain includes traffic deaths, Latvia includes attempted homicides, Holland includes euthanasia, Portugal includes and cases they can't otherwise solve in the total.

Begs the question, is it even worth comparing these numbers which represent different things?

That said, Poland is still candyland as far as violent crime is concerned.
