USA, Canada / REFUSED A HOLIDAY VISA TO THE U.S CAUSE IM POLISH [323]


First, as a court interpreter you should know better that you cannot claim to know what other people think. You can only know for sure what they say in court, and I hope your interpreting doesn't include what you think they think. That would be illegal.

Second, since you are an interpreter for a court of law and for a specific language it is not surprising that nearly all Poles you deal with professionally have some issues with the law. If you were a translator for the French then you'd generalize the French are criminals. Would you also know what they think?

On the other hand, if you were an Polish interpreter for a Church or a charitable organization would you generalize about that too?

Your view is skewed by your job.

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]


Never heard about it.
Who is whining about it and what foreign lands were those?

In case you're tempted to quote one of the posts above - Poles in Greater Poland aka the Grand Duchy of Posen at the time did not go abroad to buy land or build a house. They had been there for generations and the area was annexed by Prussians. Thus, Poles living there were Prussian subject/citizens. In fact that's the area where the first capital of Poland is located. Comparing the scenario to whine about difficulties land hungry foreigners face in Poland today is far fetched, to say the least. Nobody forces foreigners to come to Poland. Poles in Grand Duchy of Posen were forcibly found themselves under Prussian rule.


So what's wrong with that?
You apply and wait for the decision. If you don't like the decision but insist owning land in a foreign country you move to one where they let you buy land. What could be simpler?

I wonder if those would be the Jews whose descendants survived because they escaped Spanish massacres of Jews, or those who were expelled from Spain?

Language / Why in the world there are three ways to write simple U ?!?! [54]


that's because you forgot about one other source where to look for explanations - Proto-Slavonic (and in fact PIE). There are more traces of it in lanu=guages such as Russian where "gówno" is "govьno". The word is very old and it is a semantic root surviving also in languages such as Russian (гoвнo), Spanish (guano) or English (goo)


It would follow that Polish £ and U are as similar as English W and U. Crazy huh?
Well, in Polish £ is not the same as U, unless you insist that the second largest city in Poland, £ódź (also meaning a boat) be Uć instead.

Most of the spelling that puzzles you so much has roots in the history of the ever changing language. Much like the English I: sound - as in ee, ,or ie, or ea.

Still, that is less confusing than spellings such as oo. Whence the differences in flood, floor, bloom? Now, that's crazy!

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]


The same can be said about Jews:

- who cares about them?
- they live in many more than 20 countries


Isn't the ghetto assigned to Palestinians even smaller?

So back to square one - Jews kick others but somehow they take offense when others kick them. Why's that? Do they think they are some kind of chosen ones? :D

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

Looks good but one thing is missing - the 750,000 Palestinians expelled out of their homes in 1948, and then about 300,000 in 1967. So the comparison is not that easy.

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]


So would you say that Spice Girl posters would be a better choice than a crucifix in Polish schools? Or would you vote for The Little Mermaid?

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]


In reality pupils have few choices That's how the world works. Adults make the choices for them - from the school curriculum to the color of the school's walls and what's hanging on those walls.

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]


Would those be hanging above or below The Star-Spangled Banner? I wonder how those stars help Americans. Do they have to do with Hollywood or space travel? Are the stripes really a symbol of pyjamas?

How about the teddy bear (Berlin). Would that mean people in Berlin hunt bears? Hug them? Screw them?

Is there any zoo-philia going on among some of the British nobility who use lions among their symbols? Or is it just a love for cats?

Symbols are all around us. Like it or not.

My only point is that you incorrectly approached the meaning of the crucifix in the context of Poland's history. That is somewhat understandable since you obviously have little knowledge of Polish history.

Poland's acceptance of Christianity was critical in the creation of the Polish nation, and on many occasions, it its survival. I have an impression the topic is crucifixes in Polish schools that are paid for by that same Polish nation.

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]


Hold your horses!
Sweeping generalizations are sometimes tools of magic. Poland's circumstance may pose some difficulties with yours.

The second sentence about the history of Poland from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland#Piast_dynasty:

Poland began to form into a recognizable unitary and territorial entity around the middle of the 10th century under the Piast dynasty. Poland's first historically documented ruler, Mieszko I, was baptized in 966, adopting Catholic Christianity as the nation's new official religion, to which the bulk of the population converted in the course of the next centuries.

It would be unusual to find any book on the beginnings of Poland as a nation that does not include Christianity as an important, perhaps decisive factor in both the creation of the nation.

And that was just the beginning. Poland's history is soaked with Christianity. Crucifixes and Hail Marys are dripping all over the country's history. Their role of in Poland's politics and history made the crucifix much more than a symbol of magic. Over the centuries it has become the symbol of the nation.

Christianity in Poland has certainly had more practical influence on the character of the nation than the magical White Eagle but nobody seems to oppose the idealized image of that Eagle in Polish school. Let's throw the Eagle out of Polish schools!

Study / Cost of Polish lessons, courses (private) [34]


If it works then the quality on skype is orders


If you look around really close then you will see that there is very little cost to a lot of things we buy on a regular basis. Nike shoes used to cost over $100 when they were made in the US or Europe. Then they moved the production to Vietnam, paying the workers peanuts with salt ans the shoes are still over $100.

As for the 60zl for Polish lessons - what's the big deal? He charges whatever the market will bear, and I assume he does not force people at gun point to be his students.

That is exactly the way it is with oil in Canada.
Canada is #1 source of oil in the US and yet:

- gasoline is more expensive in Canada
- Canadians living along the border with the US will often cross the border just to pump gasoline in their cars

Just two days ago I went shopping to the US and the prices are as follows:

Buffalo, NY - $0.63/liter
Niagara, ON - $0.90/liter

Explain that.

UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish migrant in the UK. Ch. 5 - Racism [259]

Considering the relatively high entry cost of amateur hockey there are surprisingly plenty of black hockey players.

And that cost - no, it doesn't cost a fortune but by the time you're done getting your basic gear you're a few hundred $ thinner.

And then what do you do? You can play in the street or a parking lot if the local municipality sucks and they haven't cleared the roads off the snow. Or if you have your own means of setting up a rink such as a backyard with a pool (money again).

It is cheaper though to go to one of the local arenas, which is not free either. The upkeep cost is significant. Even in Canada, where we have a few days without snow, kids and parents struggle with the rising costs of maintaining minor hockey leagues. Small hockey rink operators will spend hundreds of thou$ands to maintain the facilities. A decent zamboni alone costs upwards of $200K. Staff time, at least 3 full time people at $40 to $60K a year and it all adds up up very fast.

To sum up, hockey is among the most expensive sports and an average unemployed, food coupon based single mom (white, black or pink) simply cannot afford the luxury for her (often many, and sometime colorful) kids.

Now compare that to the cost of playing soccer, or basket ball.

I do protests against it. I wrote to my MP about various islamist influences in Canada (for instance wearing turbans by RCMP officers, or attempts to legalize sharia law in Canada).

See, I immigrated to Canada and that's where I would like to be for some time. If I feel like experiencing islamist mess then I'll be sure to visit a tourist agency and fly for a few days to one of the islamist sh!holes.

But this immigration group is the root of the problem, altthough some ethnic groups, regardless of their religion, do not seem to be well adapted to European culture and ways of life.

In your posts you keep preaching about diversity. Fine with me in general, but the diversity won;t 'be there for long if it allows muslims to have a significant voice.

News / Mass immigration to Poland - article and response [479]


The various divisions you're talking about are dominated by the more vocal group. While smaller, that vocal minority dictates the rules while the so called moderate muslims chicken and stay low. I haven't seen mass protests by muslims against the radical nomads of the same faith Thus, by their sheer mass all muslims contribute to the deadly influence if islam and are a part of the problem. In fact, even non muslims who are passive in the matter are a problem too.

I agree. But succumbing to muslimes is going backwards some 13 centuries. I don't understand how you can call this "moving ahead":

If this is progress to you then we are missing each other by a mile:

Of course rapists have existed forever. Why aggravate the problem by importing more of them? Why expose the women of Europe to savages of backward hordes?


hey nostradamus. Look at muslime laws and tell me the first thing muslimes will do will be abolishing their savage laws.


No, we know life, you know booklets printed by some as.sholes in Brussles.


That actually is a consolation to me, that I won't have to (hopefully) witness the destruction of Europe by suicidal types like yourself.

News / Mass immigration to Poland - article and response [479]


Would you include in that group the rape victims?


Absolutely not. Childrfen should be warned about the detrimental influence of hordes of primitive muslim tribes invading the countries their forefathers fought for and defended.

A little quiz for you:

If you consider yourself a christian then there is a little commandment about the relation of children to their parents. What percentage of Poles a generation older that you dream about making Poland muslim or black. Do you think that's what they fought for? Would you call it showing respect parents if their children do exactly the opposite of the parents ideals and wishes?

Many claim Poles are intolerant. In the end I think that's what makes them Poles instead of mogrels. While it is too late on the large scale, the intolerance will buy Poland some time and then it will fall to msulim hordes like Spain, Holland, Norway, Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden.

And the only diversity you will see is witnessing stoning versus beheading for things that are considered crimes by the muslime animals. Such as being raped for instance. A girl raped by men will more than likely be punished by death for the great sin of being victimized. You must have some warped sense of values if you wish this type of "diversity" on female members of Poland, or even your own family.

As I said, Europeans have hardly any balls left.
If they do they will not only say what they want but they will first kill those who forbid them from saying that.


That pretty picture of the little critters around the globe you posted - when muslimes finally take over you will be beheaded for posting something like that. No images of humans allowed.

Brotherly love and love among nations is fiction, and good only for little kids. And then most kids (not you) open their eyes to reality. Like Norwegians did, Swedes, French, Dutch, Spanish, Belgians, Serbs and Croats.

It's really depressing to see Europe fade away into a dumpster of humanity, invaded by savage hordes.

News / Mass immigration to Poland - article and response [479]


That blood in your veins mean s squat when you endanger the tradition at its source.


Leave that to tourist agencies. Let people with suicidal tendencies travel to muslim countries, zimbabwe and such other "tolerant" places.


Exactly my point. You will be.


That would be all muslims.


EU is a scourge of Europe. Destroying it from within. Europe, to survive as we have known it before the likes of you contributed to its destruction, needs more decisive steps against muslims. A complete ban on new imigration would be a good start. Expulsion (after severe prison terms for crimes) would be very welcome. External European borders should be defended with weapons, not with HIV awareness fliers and maps how to get to the nearest welfare office.


European culture has evolved before anybody even entertain the idea of the muslim animals living in it. Muslims will not contribute to Europe's evolution but to its destruction.

One thing I wish you'd learn from muslims, is that the other cultures must be destroyed, or at least kept at bay if you want yours to survive. Muslims destroy the very fabric of the societies they invade, much like Christians did when they still had balls. Now the only people in town with balls seem to be the mediaval nomads. You have none left.

Yeah, god hates all who reject his unconditional love.

Why don't we spare ourselves fairy tales about allahs, gods, ghosts and dwarfs. That's not where the problem is. The problem is that the European culture and civilization is being replaced by medieval animals. Sweden is down, Norway is down, Belgium is down, the Islamic Republic of France is getting there, the Turkish Republic of Germany is now everything but what they fought for.

The goodie good kids like yourself are very good at using freedoms others thought for, but you have no idea how to fight for those freedoms. You have no idea how it is to be under somone's boot. You will loose your freedoms sinking your brains in mp3 players and murmuring kumbaya while muslims strip you, step by step, of what you take for granted.

Again, no culture can survive by adopting the level of tolerance EU has imposed on its member countries. The culture that made your life possible will go down too.
