Off-Topic / I thought my house had ghosts, but according to a paranormal psychic it is hovering demon [30]

No Nonsense, do you have a pet cat? My cat tries to get inside rooms with closed doors by pawing them and making all sorts of rattling noises with his paw and the door. If you have a pet, that could explain the door sounding like it was being pushed against. It might also explain the sensation of being touched. You could get a priest to bless your house or call your local paranormal society to check it out.

Life / Is Poland a place of high culture? [36]

Isn't it something to do with the disinterested endeavour after man's perfection?

Or imperfection and how fascinating it is.

Life / Is Poland a place of high culture? [36]

High Culture has more to do with the attitude of the people as well. All European countries have football teams, so everyone is even in that respect. But what about the minds of the people, and the temperment? Who is calm, balanced, analytical, appreciative, intelligent? Who values higher learning and appreciates life's subtle moments? These are part of the higher faculties and indicate a presence of higher culture if they are present in a population.

News / US Military: The Army of Poland is crap. [124]

The only reason they haven't is because of big brother China. That is the only reason he lingers. Sounds like they are about to take him out, though. We'll have to see what transpires in the new year.

You yourself have criticized the Taliban in the past so you must know what they are like. There's titanium or something there as well. Al Quaeda has moved to Pakistan, they say. That is why the international community is there. They want to oust Al Quaeda, moderate the Taliban and harvest minerals.

It's still a part of broader culture and that can't be denied

But not highculture and the thread is about that.

Is football a part of Polish culture or not? ;)

Football, a cultured event? Would you say the games at Rome were cultured just because the Emperor and the Senators attended them?

We are not going to use nukes on anyone. The last thing we need are nukes involved in this. There are so many countries with nuclear missiles that pretty much guarantees they will not be used. So let's not push the panic button.

Football isn't really that cultured in the first place, so what do you expect at the modern day Circus?

Italians have more temper. Poles are calmer and quieter. Poles are also great at thinking about stuff and analysis.

Poles usually claim that polish is a high culture

I totally one hundred percent agree with that. All Poles appear to have that gentle bearing that suggests refinement and culture. You can't find so many elegant people in one place anywhere else in Europe.

Life / Why Poland is "surprised" by winter and snow every year? [192]

Last time I drove on snow people to the left and right, in front and in back were getting their vehicles stuck in ditches. Because of them I knew where the trouble spots were and managed to avoid getting stuck.

I saw pick up trucks stuck in store driveways and knew which ones not to attempt turning into.

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

Taking a hard line against an invasion can hardly be considered "fascist" in a sovereign nation. I say give every illegal one month to get their affairs in order (and this is being generous) and get the hell out. After that one month any caught here should be shot on sight.

There's an easier way. Don't make it so appealing to them in the first place. Make states like California balance their budget so they cannot keep spending when nothing is there to spend. Do these things and they won't be so interested in being here.

But as far as massive waves of people crossing the border, you cannot stop it at the border. You can inact policies over here that will make it less appealing to be here, then focus on the few people crossing who might be drug dealers, gang members or criminals.

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

Chances are, he is just going to come back because it's so easy and there really isn't anything we can do about them coming over from Mexico. There's no way to keep them out since they share such a long border with us unless we want to be unbelievably fascist about it. Since he has a wife and kids here it will be an endless revolving door. What do you think should be done about that?

You put him in jail...who is paying for his jail? He has all of his needs met there and is living better in an American jail than many people living in the Mexican border towns do. You want to keep him in jail longer..at the tax payer's expense.

You see my friend...there are no easy answers. Liberals already made this realization while you are still caught in the cat and mouse game.

News / EU SITE PRESENTS ROSY POLAND (high level of a secondary education) [10]

No, if the government gives you a house and an income that exceeds what you can earn by working then of course unemployment is a better option

Well, most governments do not do that. What people get from the government is far less than what they get working.

The fact is unemployment can be a comfortable life of baby making rather than abject poverty in some countries.

That makes no sense. If you have no job, a partner with no job and several kids to support, you are worse off than being one person alone with no job.

Life / What's up with the trains in Poland (the whole system in complete chaos?) [25]

2. National train service doesn't lend itself well to privatization for lots of reasons (not least: private companies run on lean margins and won't have the resources to deal with emergencies and disasters).

It depends on what company they use. Trains tend to run in the black a lot, but maybe not in Poland? If something happens they will just run to the Polish govt for a bailout so there's nothing to worry about.

They would prefer to stay home with their families

In that case, they shouldn't enlist. Enlisting means you have to go wherever the govt sends you and it could mean you have to engage in combat.

USA, Canada / Expat Poles swearing allegiance to the US - how did you feel? [157]

The US has that pull on people. They make it a glorious Godsend to be an American and make everything else appear lame by comparison. It's all in the sell! We may dislike what our own countries do in some respects but it should never change our closeness to our roots.

It has it's roots in the past. There was a time you could come to America from Europe and get free land. That was absolutely unheard of in Europe at the time!

USA, Canada / Polish President Says Cleveland is Like Home [30]

The whole point of his visit is he visited the cultural center and the clinic and said some nice things about it and the community, not the fact that parts of Cleveland are run down. Focus on the positive and not the negative. It is the Christmas season!

Genealogy / Do you think all Slavs are white? [178]

I consider them white but people of anglo decent don't think anyone is white but them, not even Irish. Nobody is truly white anyway. People are different shades of beige and brown unless they wear that Kubuki style makeup that makes their skin ghostly white.
