Study / Is there a lot of racism in Warsaw (Brazilian student's question) [83]
Apparently it is. I can't think of too many ways to raise the concern without raising the call of racism.
It is not racism to say 'hey, wait a minute here' when you see the swamping of your country by outsiders. It's just common sense!

It was. Apparently 3000 in the church, 1000 in the cultural center next door, and another 3000 milling about outside the church. According to CP24, but not verified elsewhere.

I think it was a series of explosions in the treetops that brought the plane down. Unqualified people have provided their opinions on this matter.
Ok, then that is ruled out then ;)

News / Kaczynski to be buried at Wawel ?! [289]
Allegation being the key word... Let's wait for the facts.
Poland for the Polish? Hundreds of years of Polish tradition being threatened by an influx of foreigners and a sea change of attitudes brought on by a Liberal wave from the west? Keep in mind, homosexuality is frowned upon by the Catholic Church.
Just a thought...
However, what does that have to do with the popular allegation of him overturning the decision of the pilot?

Also, since when has being racist and homophobic been fair? Sorry, I took offence at many of his comments and he was out of line.

Interesting question...
Are the Muslims of today changing the face of Europe to an equal / greater / lesser degree than the Jews of the 1920's / 30's? Is it comparable?
Jews were an easy target, as Muslims in EU are right now- it nicely gets attention away from other problems EU/Europe is facing.
