News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]

money we pay

Hahahaha, that made me laugh.

I would be very surprised If your family contributed more to the EU budget than mine

Be in for a f*cking huge surprise, then.

.Poland would sooner leave the EU than become its slave

Let's see how they would make it without the EU. Some cities didn't have a decent sewer system in the early 2000's. I'm tolerant enough. I just think there should be a clear distinction between Catholic schools and public schools. Otherwise you might just have one type of school anyway. I'm not battling Catholicism at all. Everybody should believe what he wants to believe. But it's a private thing which should not be imposed on ppl who chose not to believe in that specific religion.

saving us from starvation is as pathetic as the rest of your input into this thread.

Greg, I stopped taking you seriously a long time ago. If you're doing so well, why are there millions of you abroad? I never claimed that we saved you from starvation (in fact in the 80's we sent truckloads your way to help you survive a lot of winters - so I guess we did in a way). You're a reactionairy homophobe who for some retarded reason thinks that I am homosexual. Well, I guess you're one yourself with your f*cked up paranoid chatter against them. You just need to come out of the closet, Greg.

If you compare the funds we actually get with money we pay into the common budget, exclude nonsense like gender equality trainings, include salaries of additional public workers needed to distribute that money... that's really pennies we get net, I wouldn't mind If we were getting nothing from EU

And all that costs PL 4.4 Billion Euros each year? Do you believe that yourself? Would be great as at least one person believes it then.

People (unlike homo-commies) understand that there must be some sh*t among thousands of priests/monks/nuns. According to your foolish logic people should have no trust in education, police, army, courts or any other institution as there are pedophiles, thieves and other crap found in their ranks every year.

You are such a funny person. Your complete nonsense is not even worth reacting to. God bless the reactionairy retards like you, Greg. Really, he should.

taking a really 'good' care of their children.

Yeah, they're nearly as good as the priest who doesn't mind taking some kids to the backroom for some oral examinations.

respect white, christian Europe or fcuk off

Respect has to come from two sides, you know.

Your country is facing fascist Islamification and you are worried about fcuking crosses hundreds of miles away from NL??

You have been reading Geert Wilders? He doesn't even represent 10% of Dutch society. And I've been to NL not that long ago and I can wholeheartedly say that the problem is not as big as it's been portrayed. But Geert Wilders increasingly is making a fool of himself, so I take it that the venom will be disappear by itself in due time. My homeland is secular enough and just because a populist does some unfounded opportunistic statements which he can't backup and have no other purpose than to gain votes, doesn't mean that we are being overrun by Islam.

Nevertheless, that's not the issue at stake here. The issue is that it's my opinion (and of most of the Europeans, for that matter) that public schools should be free of any religious signs, not only crucifixes, but also stars of David, Protestant crosses, et cetera. That's the way they were intended and that's the way it should be.

The crucifix as a symbol of culture? We are not gonna go back in time, are we? I respect all believers as long as they don't talk crap, but PL and I are supposed to be secular states and we had the seperation of church and state a long time ago. Bringing crucifixes back as sign of culture would mean going back to those dark old days. And it can't be intended like that.

No we wont and who the fock are you to even post here, you dont know anything about Poland and its history you little human trash.

See, the one who is a living proof that babies who were born without a brain are perfectly fit for survival unleashes one of his brainless efforts again. You are such a retard that even your mother probably noticed that. I have just as much right to post here as you have and we do tolerate you, don't we? And besides, I have a better job than you have :)

PS: PL is after Greece the biggest receiver of all EU countries. You better adhere :)

lesser

Yeah, the Catholic church really did a great job in keeping Ireland behind on every Western European country. And I definitively wouldn't say that there were JUST a few incidents with priest abusing children. If it were minor incidents, how do you explain that most Irish give this as reason for leaving the Catholic church?

Have a look at this website, only the Flemish pay more than the Dutch. 10 Euros to be precise. The Dutch pay 272 Euros per head, the Flemish 282 Euros per head.

redicecreations.com/article.php?id=7925

Have a look at the "hitparade" for 2007; you'll see who's a contributing country and all countries not mentioned are receivers. Don't be so ungrateful.

And besides, you seem to have several ideas about my personality. It's sometimes funny to read them as it proves that you just don't have a clue :)

Edit: and finally, if Protestantism is a sect, then Catholicism is as well.

Seanus

It wouldn't surprise me...

You are simply blinded by hate if you wish to see abused children just to proof your silly thesis.

Have a look at what happened in Ireland, a good Catholic country...And besides your fellow knight of Catholicism admits that it happens...

If you have inferiority complex towards "Europe", it doesn't means that everybody else have the same problem.

That's the problem with your thinking. There is absolutely no reason why Poland should have this moral superiority complex as they are one of the receivers of EU money...A little more humble would be in place. And as for the EU; I am a citizen of one of it's founders and we pay, together with Germany and Sweden relatively the most to the EU, so it's not a question of inferiority, it's more a question of how long are we willing to pay for new countries that want to collect, but not adhere. It's plain and simple.

Protestantism is an endless protest

Indeed, a protest against the corrupt Catholic church :)

Public schools in Poland don't impose any religion on anyone, they will have symbols accepted by parents of kids attending them and what some Dutch guy (gay?) think about It means nothing at all.

Prayers before the start of class. I would say that's imposing religion upon kids. As long as the EU finances a lot of things in PL from my (and other's) taxmoney, the opinion of those taxpayers does matter.

Where ? In Poland ? There are a few such cases each year.

The more incredible it is that ppl still believe in an institution that's abusing their children.

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]

...And I'm still waiting for the first scandals of priests abusing kids within the Catholic church. Just wonder if they will try to brush it under the carpet like they tried in Ireland, until it becomes too big and they can't anymore. In Ireland it was the main reason for the de-catholisation - I'm sure if a thing like that would happen in PL, support for the Catholic church would drop significantly. Public schools are public schools, they should never impose one view on the children, or they should have (like I mentioned in the other thread about this topic) symbols of all religions present in a country or nothing at all. A corner somewhere in the building should be sufficient enough to show the kids the options, but that should be it. I read that 70% of the Polish population is practicing Catholics. To impose the Catholic symbol to a class of 20 therefore would mean on gross average that you would impose Catholicism to 6 children who are either belonging to a different religion or who have chosen not to live by an obsolete system. I say that is a pretty big group to ignore. If there ever will be official legislation concerning this, PL will have to adhere as well, as any other country. It's not to deny any religious way of life, it's just about imposing other values to a growing group of ppl who have a different lifestyle. And the Vatican? Who is taking the Vatican still serious nowadays?

Edit: and Seanus, the concept of seperate Catholic schools or Protestant schools I have advocated thoroughly in the previous thread.

Stereotypes about the Germans...Well, we as Dutch have plenty of them :)

- loud
- always in groups and then even louder
- refuse to speak Dutch and start speaking immediately in German
- they are all fat and drink beer all the time (their beer is very good though)
- they come and invade/occupy our beaches: nothing has changed in 70 years
- girls are oversexed
- take up all the space wherever they go and claim it as their own
- we have a joke about them: what is the smalles book in history? Answer: "The History of German Humor" (others are: "French Militairy Victories" and "A History of the Italian Militairy Power")

...to name but a few :)

Pope John Paul II
