Life / Immigration Free Poland is Not Being Racist [194]

eh, you wilfully delude yourself due to your feelings, Put those aside and examine the issue properly and you'll discover that it is as I say it is.

Life / Immigration Free Poland is Not Being Racist [194]

very significant element of that religion does the exact opposite, and in fact opposes almost all reform

You like most of your anti-religious kind fails to notice that such a society that you prise, atheist (and so on)had been only possible due to Christianity.

It is madness to think that you can cut off a huge chunk of your roots and remain unscathed.
Cut off the middle of a tree and tree's corona will not withstand even the gentlest of a breeze.

Look in South Africa - 80% are Christian, yet they're tearing themselves apart. Zimbabwe - 87%, yet...well...

That is all much more complex. Thing is Christianity doesn't justify all that going on. In South African we have two other ingredients of the mix - racism and commies. Not the forget that the biggest party is a commune past at its core and in it origin.

That's exactly the problem. These idiots would use Christianity to justify it if they just so happened to be Christian rather than Muslim.

That is a stretch. Christianity reforms society whereas Islam conserve it in some ways and destroy others ways.

Life / Immigration Free Poland is Not Being Racist [194]

We all know how the Polish village mentality works, with beaten wives often expected to accept that they were in fact to blame for the beating.

How would you know? Are you sure you are not talking about the Scottish village mentality? For someone who defend Muslims against prejudice you yourself are prejudiced towards others.

Well, I don't care about internal problems of Muslim society or family matters. Those are different in Pakistan, different in Egypt and still different in Persia.

Still, in some cultures there some appalling barbarian practises that are being justified and legalised by Islam

All that has little to do with Poland. Not wanting Muslim immigrants is wise, they would cause a lots of problems in the long run. Even if they are nice people.

the million Illegal Pol

Million? Do you actually have some source or data to support that number?

How many Europeans have supposedly "come for a visit" and never to return home? Unless they were deported

So what is your issue? Do you actually have a point or just act like a c...? I feel like smacking you up a bit just because you sound like a whinny little b..ch.

Visa for EU citizens and visa for US citizen - that is a fair deal. What is your problem with that princess?

News / 2016, the year of change in Poland? [70]

The courts are, and did.

What courts? Soviet courts? There two (at the lest) degrees of illegality there - first those were courts set by an occupier power and second that power had been a gnecialdal oppressive total regime.

If we are to find their ruling valid why would you even have Nurnberg, after all Holocaust and all that was going on in Germany was perfectly legal. Those were criminals according to your logic.

such as Roumald Rajs, one of the most notorious criminals in post-war Poland.

Shut your gob. you are not got to say whether or not he was a criminal. Other than that saying that he was one if the most notorious criminals in post-WWII Poland is a lie. It is like saying that in the Hitler Germany, some picvkpikced was the most notorious criminal at the time.

Soviet apparatus, political soviet police and soviet judges including Michnik's brother, Jaruzelski, Kiszczak and the long line of other smaller criminals (living quietly in Sweden)those were criminals and there were the bigger scum in post-war Poland.

known for several brutal war crimes and "pacification" of villages.

Brutal in the view of the second part of the 20th century's Scotsman, gentle and civilized in the terms what had been happening in this part of the war during the WWII.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [564]

It's a stupid argument to make, because moderate people don't tend to protest against extremists as extremists tend to threaten them

So, what would you say if I told you that the majority of Muslims are radical Muslim.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [564]

We do have our own Muslims assimilated centuries ago.

Oh please don't bring that argument. That was a special case with specific circumstances that are impossible to recreate nowadays. Besides they always have been a tiny fraction of the populace and today their number dwindled even more.

Deriving from ancient historical facts a far fetching notion that somehow magically it would work in the same way today is wrong on so many levels that I don't even know where to begin to explain to you in a way you would have understand.

Plenty of Muslims here, and the number is growing daily

You say it in a way suggesting that you think it is a good thing. Well, I wasn't expecting anything else from you so I only point out for the sake of an unsuspecting reader that you're deeply wrong.

Looking back to the OP original question I must say that it wasn't well thought over question. Muslims as such in the today world are not much of a bother for Poland.

An ongoing 'situation' in Europe with illegal immigrants cascading over borders into Europe. Mainly from the Muslim world (but not only) that they have became a problem.

I mean to say that they became a part of the problem. Ever bigger issue waiting to be solved are policies of so called European countries, Greece, Germany, Italy, France and other sycophants of the EU.

That by countries I mean elites and ruling class of those countries are more than obvious, at least it should be obvious, them and policies they pursue. Their responses to the crisis and their problem solving abilities are on the all time low. Unless... there is something going on behind the curtains that the general public is unaware of, that is beside general incompetence and vainglory of the political class.

No matter, an idea of bringing in a large number of some strange people into Poland was an unspeakable idiocy. That would inevitably spelled disaster for Poland on a large scale. Luckily people in Poland seen a writing on the wall and voted for such a government that wasn't so deeply depended on the German support (wasn't that deep up the Merkel's A...)narrowly escaping that fate.

As a general rule inviting onto your own territory a large number of people from foreign countries in a short space of time creates all sorts of problems for all the involved.

Muslim however seems to be ongoing problem that will be there for generations.
If the rich countries have nothing against in paying the price of their involvement on the world's stage, that is their choice.
Poland has nothing to gain by following their example. Trying to coerce Poland to do that is just wrong. All the people of foreign origin in Poland who advocated such a course of action at the time, aren't friends of Poland and Poles. Quite the opposite.

Why Muslim are a special case? Isn't that obvious? They arrive from a different civilization. A civilization that view others people and ways of live as inferior and encourages religious beliefs that extermination of the different religion is not only a good thing but is a sacred duty of the faithful. All that makes Islam rather incompatible with Christianity and with liberal democracy.

Those who don't see that clearly are not that bright. Alternatively they're fanatical ideologists that cannot/are unable to apply logic and reason to the case.

Surely individual Muslim immigrants to Poland (as long as they pass basic criterion) cannot to be avoided. Nevertheless they should be vented and watched closely by the authorizes. It would be wise to exclude all kind of wahhabies from the Polish citizenship.

Language / How long to to learn Polish? In hours? [64]

effective learn process

Should be learning, believe it or not those are typing errors.

everybody learns differently,

That is very true.

Tough putting arbitrary time limits on language learning, as this type of learning differs sharply

That is the reason I said that I believe that that amount of learning would suffice to be able to communicate on a BASIC level.

In order to communicate on a basic level you would need to study from 300 to 500 hours. I mean a effective learn process would take that long. I'm not talking about attending a class. Assuming that your are an Anglophone.

Language / Polish Grammar quiz/puzzles: [47]

Plus the questions were so hideous,

I checked them out, they ask for declensions and I simply don't remember them by heart. You're not speaking language by thinking ah and here I should use a such and such form of a verb a singular nominative case or whatnot...

I think those test were devised to catch out native speakers of the language, so you have done very well indeed.

the native Silesian

I don't see the problem they can use their own version of the Polish language. Why not? That school of linguistic purism that took over in Poland for more than century is just silly.

Educated people with class will be always speaking a proper Polish whereas all the rest will either speak Silesian which is amusing, sounds nice and is refreshing or create distorted version of 'pure' Polish as we can see on TV. Especially some politicians speak that language badly, with something I call an accent from a gutter. Others are not much better, taking too fast, without a proper rhythm and measure.

I take an authentic regional version of the lingo every day over that pol-soviet newspeak. A poor excuse for a language.

Indeed, I know of one elderly couple

Poland is no country for old men.

That the due here. If someone have some romantic notions and no research before settling is asking for a culture shock.
Poland is a country that is hostile towards its own people because it isn't Poland but country in transition from Soviet colony into an independent country.

Sure, I know that. However it is not very practical at the moment to claim it. On the other hand Russia instead of giving ways what is hers could give up her own territory, that part next to Poland that is not really Russian.

I find it funny that in this case Russia has a genuine logical reason and what more a valid claim to those territories. Not as in 99% of the cases in the past and in the present but yet there are being condemn and checked for the former. That is karma in action if I ever seen one...lol!

He should take you to court for slander jon. Fascist, really? What a nonsense.

by the right wing media

Right wing? lol! It belongs to family with a long standing tradition of supporting fascism and order than Hitler induced in Germany. Half of the royal family with that king that abdicated were also keen believers in fascism as a modern solution to the old problems.

That changed few details, but at the core their views are not that far from real fascism. Need to remember thought that contrary to pop-new fascism is a left wing ideology.

Fascism is a right handed twin of Communism.

If you join them and loudly and publicly agree with whatever the Dear Leader Chairman Kaczyński says, they'll make sure that you don't have to worry.

Are you telling us about the deal you made with them? Slandering them on the Internet behind their backs would render that agreement null and void.

It's only going to get worse, now

Have you deliberately ignored that part when he was talking about scam that is going on? Of course you did, just to change the subject and rant about PiS.

My solution would be to round up these scam artists, publicly flog them within an inch of their lives

Sure, hopefully PiS will get it, but then you will be screaming bloody murder.
Seriously though that should be fixed in no time given that most of the unis in Poland is mainly financed by the government.

Well, DomnicB, you seems like an intelligent dude but sure like hell your brainwashing by the neo-Marxist ideology prevalent on the American campuses is clearly visible and that makes your musing more than ridiculous - to put it bluntly they're dumb like sh..!

...I didn't know the Catholic church is this strong in Poland.

Don't listen to an American Selena. As for the age gap is not that big. To be honest there is no use for you to ask on forum on some generalities, its up for individuals. Men in Poland aren't generally fixed that much on 'young' as men in Japan.

The best way to find out what you're standing on, is to tell him. Good luck:)

But my paternal grandfather from Vilnius

I don't know about your grandparents. I'm saying that if your both parents at the time of your birth have had Polish citizenship you would be entitled to the Polish passport.

If we are talking about grandparents I don't know. If some of them were striped or lost their citizenship that could be a problem. Why don't you direct those question to the Polish embassy?

Polonia / Volunteers from Poland in Novorossiya [90]

splitting Ukraine between Poland and Russia is a dream of some

Not so much splitting as cut this country to its proper size.

There are a lot of claims coming out of the DPR that Polish volunteers are fighting on their side,

There ought to be one or two on either side of the conflict. Official Poland support Ukrainian side so whoever would have joined the DPR would be advertising that fact.
