UK, Ireland / Recently beaten up in England by 3 Polish guys [93]

What do I mean, Ironside? I mean that they are used to give the air of politeness but I can see into the soul of some people and the Japanese and Poles I have in mind are anything but polite. Not much escapes me in that regard.

News / Poland: In Top First 15 Countries in the WORLD by the number of CRIMES [286]

Do you want to know why? Well, take Koreans as an example. They pool their resources and work as a collective. They ensure that they do everything within their control to make their business a going concern. The ethic is different.

I couldn't agree more with your second point.

News / Poland: In Top First 15 Countries in the WORLD by the number of CRIMES [286]

Looking at only one side of the coin is the very last thing I do. I didn't mention them as I'm not aware of them. I'm not here to fabricate or create fiction but I dare say they do benefit, yes.

However, I tend to find that it's moaning that AA programs are overextended based on perceived 'overdoing it'. Rarely is one side ever wholly satisfied with the balance.

Racism does lead to criminality whether you like it or not. How do you make a living, by selling leaves that you pull off of trees? No, didn't think so. Criminality also stems from frustration and social unrest as well as from perceived injustice. Deny that and I will really begin to wonder about you.

Pressed, yes. Forced? No. It's the same with Brits who moan about all the Poles but it is invariably British companies which hire them.

Have you any awareness of the Civil Service recruitment procedures? It's hard to gain access to the Fast Track system and the right candidate is chosen for the right job, largely irrespective of colour.

Name me one famous black person or Pakistani that has a significant government job.

History / Can Poland allow itself to refuse Slavija? [32]

But Crow, so many people have mixed and different origins these days and rarely know their true allegiance due to being hybrids. Also, how many Poles would know that? They are told to believe that heroes are their own but look closer and you see a different or, let's say, unclear picture emerging, e.g Copernicus, Piłsudski and Mickiewicz

Well, I can't see Poles being happy with the death of over half a million of their people in England ;) They want to remain employed and, indeed, alive ;) ;)

Poland is alive and well, Crow, I can vouch for that. Would call Serbs what? ;) ;)

Would come or will come? "Once killed Serbia"?? So Serbia is living proof of resurrection? ;) ;)

Poles should be able to see through the lies. Dubrovnik was largely unscathed and was described as "pristine". It should be clear that the Serb forces didn't decimate it because they felt it to be their territory. They were firing warning shots only.

What is it you want Poland to do?

Well, you are right to say that Serbia and Russia have common interests. Just ask the Russians in Montenegro too. Putin only threatened Poland because he didn't want to threaten America directly for the missile shield.

Millions of Serbs are pro-EU, correct? Imagine ;) ;)

Life / Do Polish people help one another? [40]

Or so they would like you to feel. I was there for services and ones which I was entitled to so they needed just to follow procedures and get on with it. Quite a few have assisted really well in administrative offices but largely because I have had Polish people with me at those times.

Dnz has a point there. Those in administration love complexities as it keeps them in a job. They tend to complicate matters and don't make them as smooth as they should. I have had a couple of positive experiences with clerks here but they tend to be anal and pedantic.

It's more likely that Croats see Poles as sources of money through tourism given their increased upward mobility. The Germans have always been their no1 customer, though.

You can confirm how, Crow? Why would you want to defend them against Russia? No offence but I don't think that the Russian army or Spetsnaz fear Serbian forces.

Again, you are focussing on ancient history and not more recent history. When was the last joint, cooperative effort between Serbia and Poland?

Well, people around the world use assets to get what they want. I can help with English and life is like a contract, I can accept or refuse their offers.

Poles can be very curious but largely to know what you think of their country. They help you if they feel you can help them in return.

Given that many Poles have leanings towards Croats for different reasons, what makes you so sure that they would side with Serbia? It's a big roll of the dice for Serbia as you risk losing Russian support. You know that wars are fought with propaganda as well as physically so you need some mighty strong propaganda to get the Poles 'onside'.

Also, Poland is not one of the 5 major players in NATO so what do you expect from them?

It looks like the Serbian government under Tadic is moving in a very clear direction. The illuminati types tend to dislike Serbs so why doesn't Tadic stay principled?

It depends how well you know them. The ones close to me are super and go out of their way to be friendly and assist. If you are talking about shops and general service, then many fall short. They tend to serve you begrudgingly and say 'do widzenia na odpierd*l się). It just depends! Some are really nice!

Do Polish people help others? Some do and some don't. End of discussion!

You want a comment?! I tend to find an extreme here. Some are very helpful indeed whereas others are very unhelpful. In general, I wouldn't describe most Poles as helpful but you see them do extended translations here for free. It just depends!

Precisely, it's more recent history, Exiled. Crow goes way back to ancient ties and clearly hasn't chartered the development of Poland after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The reasons for joining NATO were clear for Poles in 1999. The security of Poland is key and Serbia cannot do anything in the face of Germany and Russia. If he hadn't already noticed, Germany and Russia are pretty close these days.

Crow, don't be blind. Factions within Slavic ranks, i.e Croatian separatists, stirred it up. Yes, Germans were behind it for sure but don't imagine for one moment that Ante Pavlic wouldn't have acted independently. This goes back to WWII. If Slavs were so perceptive, they would ignore the attempts to divide but what I saw was pure animosity. It's not cliche, don't underestimate nationalist sentiments.

Watch Yugoslavia: The Avoidable War. It's 3 hours on the conflict. I'm watching part 1 at the moment as I type. Rampant nationalism!!

Crow, you must address the Russia/Poland divide. Russia has been a stronger advocate and exponent of ties with Serbia so why do you always play on ties with Poland? You have already spoken out against Tusk and his band of EU dogs. Russia has more potential to help than Poland does.

Also, look at Tito's actions. He is the man that started the beginning of the end for Serbs in Kosovo. He was closer to Albanians by the seems of it.

We have already seen the lack of commitment by America after a rethink on the missile shield. Murmurs abound of a replacement, Poland is just a pawn in the PNAC agenda so should count on nothing. As for the EU, there is still no joint European Defence Army (EDA) so Poland is in for many other reasons.

I keep saying it, Crow, Slavs are divided by history. I saw a Croat woman in Sarajevo almost spit at a Serb as he approached her, asking for a chair. You've seen the fights on here between Poles and Ukrainians. The majority of Poles have such a strong sense of their own that they don't identify with other Slavs.

USA, Canada / Do you speak English? Have you lived in America? New LOVE/HATE list......... [144]

I keep forgetting he is from Sheffield. I dunno why but I have always seen him as American.

... here's sth in reverse. An American in England way back in 1964. Howlin Wolf with Smokestack Lighting. I don't care what crackers say, black dudes like him raised the profile of American music.
