Life / Should I expect racism as a 'black' woman in Poland [149]

in fact it is a rhetorical device used in an effort to devalue and minimize claims of racism.

Person One: 'I was attacked at the bus stop by a bunch of violent skinheads shouting 'dirty nigger'
Person Two: "Oh stop playing the race card!"

Law / Family law in Poland - want the Polish children back to the Irish courts [53]

Roz, I seem to recall that you're also banned from mumsnet like me? :D

why yes I am...(again) but I blame my years on PF for that...:) Mumsnet is a different kind of environment with v clear 'boundaries' of behaviour which were obviously too high for me..:)

Nonetheless in this case, I think the OP would be best off opening an account there, as you can get some seriously good and accurate advice from a plethora of over-educated and under - occupied women who have been through it all, with all kinds of family situations.

" ask the your lawyer to get testimony and a polygraph results "

I really wish people would stop posting rubbish like this. A polygraph? Is this an episode of Jeremy Kyle?
OP I would seriously recommend you get yourself to a parenting forum such as 'mumsnet' where you will get better advice.
Although Ant is probably already a 'mumsnetter' tbh..:)

News / Poland to end state funding for IVF treatment [102]

How strange is it (and perhaps a bit of a double-standard mode) that UK taxpayers can fund child benefit for those whose children reside in Poland.

if you really resent some kid whose dad works in the islands getting 20 quid a week from 'the British taxpayer' I think you should get out more, or read the papers and stuff.

UK, Ireland / Transferring money from Poland to UK [23]

What is the advantage of PayPal?

well you can send money to people just using a computer without needing their bank details.
People can pay you for goods and services , again without needing your bank details.
Also you can buy stuff online without having to enter your bank details.
Also, if you are really good, they offer you a Mastercard linked to your PayPal account.
Yes you do have to remember another password, but that is not a 'hell of a lot of hassle', surely?

Language / Genitive or accusative? Polish language issue. [12]

the main problem for English speakers is that so few of us even know what 'genitive' 'accusative' and so on even mean.
I mean, I do, but then I have made a point of finding out.

Life / Are there any Muslim areas in Poland? [173]

" What i meant was crimes and wrongdoings of Christianity in the past are very well known to basically everybody."

no they are not, obviously. ..:)
You were extremely dismissive of me, perhaps that is something you might want to think about..:)

Life / Are there any Muslim areas in Poland? [173]

Centuries ago when humans were mostly illiterate and priests were basically the intelligence and the elite Christianity was commonly abused as a tool of power and control over the masses.

yeh only it wasnt 'centuries ago' was it?
And you know what, dismissing a woman's contribution to a discussion as 'too obvious to be worth mentioning' is just a bit....dark ages u know?

News / Letter from the UN to Poland to Promote Abortions and End Traditional Family [37]

maybe it would be preferable to teach young girls not to sleep around like a bunch of sl*ts.

you are truly disgusting.
Maybe it would be preferable to teach young men to keep their pants buttoned, take some responsibility.
Or teach old men not to be disgusting old perverts and then try and cover it up with faux outrage.

Life / Are there any Muslim areas in Poland? [173]

You can interpret the the Holy Bible in a multitude of ways too but none of them makes the act of taking someone's life a way to reach "the Heaven".

well it certainly has been interpreted as a licence to kill in the past hasnt it?

well yes Nocy but it is a bit of a fallacy isnt it? Some Muslims are fundamentalists, ergo all Muslims are the same....?

They DONT ACCEPT any place that have Pork, Alcohol or even a simple cross (that is why they put the food and water given by the red cross to the garbage).

that has not been my experience with the kind of middle class people I have mixed with.
Still if you want to simply use lazy stereotypes, carry on.

On the other hand, people who write "should of" in formal usage are indeed demi-literate.

well maybe so, but does that actually mean they should be taken outside and shot? They might be good at other things....
