Life / Top 10 Poland fashion brands [25]


Yeah nobody in the UK or USA knows any of these brands. I don't see these in any shops. I don't know how well known they are in central Europe.

Ah yes wilczur, with a u - my bad.

Although having typed both of them in to Google image, it seems they are different. Wilczaki do look more like wolves.

Language / Idiomatic Polish [65]


Isn't it wilczor? Or are there two types, one is wilczor and the other wilczak?

Life / Top 10 Poland fashion brands [25]

I'll be honest, I don't know any Polish brands off the top off my head, and while that might say something about me, it says a lot about how much the country is struggling to create recognisable world brands.

Language / Idiomatic Polish [65]

I think 'głodny jak wilk' is more common than 'jak pies' but both are used, with good reason too.

Have you seen how quickly a wolf or wolf-like dog [wilczor, German shepherd, Alsation etc.] can devour a piece of meet? It's frightening.

UK, Ireland / No Poles Allowed! - Latest Polonophobic Outrage Out of Britain [660]

The news that gets the most ratings/highest clicks is bad news sadly. People don't care about good news where people have done something nice.

UK, Ireland / No Poles Allowed! - Latest Polonophobic Outrage Out of Britain [660]

Just back to the original topic about the 'polonophobic' sign, I can see the reasoning behind it. Polish people were draining the lake of all the fish while Brits were fishing for sport and throwing them back in.

Similar measures were introduced in Poland. In Krakow for example, some bars were not allowing in any Brits for some time [I don't know if it is still the case] because they would get drunk, start fights and smash the place up.

About the no Polish sign - I think they could have done it more tactfully. It was too reminiscent of the no black, no dogs, no Irish style signs in Britain a while back, which was clearly racist. So perhaps a sign explaining that fish must be put back, i.e. only catch and release fishing is allowed.

News / No Jews allowed! Latest anti-semitic outrage out of Poland [21]

I think you might have gotten your threads mixed up. This is the antisemitism one, not the antipolonism one.

News / No Jews allowed! Latest anti-semitic outrage out of Poland [21]


Why? You're the one who gave us a link to some news from last month. Why should I start researching whatever the latest update is - you're the one who seems to care about it so much.


I suppose that's why you titled this thread 'No Jews allowed! Latest anti-semitic outrage out of Poland,' and not something like 'WJC upset at lack of government reaction to Piotr Rybak's antisemitic banner.'

News / No Jews allowed! Latest anti-semitic outrage out of Poland [21]

I'm no fan of Rybak or his mate Miedlar, but this is old news - any reason you are writing about it now, other than to write another negative post about somebody who's Polish?

UK, Ireland / Receiving money in the UK from Poland in foreign currency via bank transfer [9]

But when I go on the Transfer front page and type in the amount to be transferred in zlotys, and say I want it transferred in to GBP, it says it will take 5 zloty from me during the transaction.

I thought the whole idea with Transfer was that you avoid banks and their fees?

UK, Ireland / Receiving money in the UK from Poland in foreign currency via bank transfer [9]

Could I not just get them to do a normal transfer in to GBP, rather than in Euros first? According to the website, they would be charging 5zl. So if they send 100 zl for instance, which according to the currency converter, is £20.90, via this website, I would get 19.85 after the 5zl fee is paid to them.

Thanks


I can't do this though. It's a company paying for a service, and they only pay in zlotys, so I won't be able to get them to convert it first.

Transfer wise might be an option though - I'll have a look at that.

News / EU confirms it will take action against Poland over court reforms [554]


This is actually one of the main reasons why the left annoys me so much. Conservatives and/or right wingers, for the most part, are honest about how they would like their country to look and what they don't want.

Leftists have forever protested right-wing 'dictatorships,' crying that people should be free to do what they want, say what they want, think what they want etc. Yet, in many western countries, you can't do that. Unless you repeat their left-wing drivel.

News / EU confirms it will take action against Poland over court reforms [554]


Oh how little you know Atch. Then again, it's people who think like you that gives corrupt criminals in PO, who don't give two sh-ts about Poland, some hope of re-election.

Yes, why try and clear up the mess and rid the country of corruption and wrong-doing? We'd much prefer a bunch of corrupt guys in suits who eat octopus in restaurants, because at least Germany and the EU in general, will like us.

This whole case with Gronkiewicz-Waltz, is basically PO on a micro scale.

News / Poland's Party of Law and Justice (PiS) reconstruction [38]


I think PiS know having him as PM wouldn't be good in terms of the next election. It would also make anyone who refused to vote for PiS with Kaczynski in charge, but were happy to vote for them when Szydlo ran, feel tricked and betrayed.

I don't think it's cool to get rid of her, unless she wanted to step down, but if she did, I think she would just say it officially. She gave PiS the win Kaczynski was unable to get for so many years and played a massive part in Duda's election as president, being his campaign manager.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]

Since there has been so much talk about age of consent in this topic, I had a look at countries from around the world. Some are quite high, some are very low [like 9, 10 or 11].

Bahrain is the highest at 21 apparently, while the lowest is Saudi Arabia, where there is no minimum age. There is a condition that you have to be married, but there is no minimum age for marriage there, so it seems a man could theoretically marry a 1-year-old and, well, I can't even bring myself to say it.

Some countries were much lower than I expected, such as Canada, where it is 12, if certain conditions are met, although I don't know what those conditions are [it isn't marriage].

Thanks Atch, but it confuses me. It looks like there were about 20 separate votes all relating to 'the rule of law and democracy in Poland' with different outcomes. Do you know what one of those was the final vote?


I agree.

Cool thanks

Well I would say we now know who our friends and enemies are, but given that Poland voted for the resolution against itself [thanks to opposition party MEPs] it's hard to make that judgment.

Where can I see the full stats of how European countries voted? Also Hungary aren't slavic so how did they vote?

What? First I'm hearing of this.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]


While I don't condone Muslims or Christians who try to convert others by force [at this point it's Muslims more than Christians, let's be honest], the fact that Jews don't bother trying to convert goys as you say, while admittedly less annoying for those who don't like to be hassled, kind of shows how they see themselves as chosen by race and the others, non-Jews, are seen as inferior who will never be God's people.

But anyway for all this talk of Orthodox Jews, it isn't them who are committing these types of crimes in Hollywood. I'm pretty sure Polanski [Jewish/half Jewish, whatever] or Weinstein are not Orthodox or even remotely religious.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]

@Dark diggler

In reference to your comments about some of things that happen in Orthodox Jewish communities, I for one, am aware of this.

There are some heavily Jewish areas of London for instance where as you mentioned, Jews have their own ambulances, their own floors in hospital, their own schools, and even their own form of 'civilian policing.' Men and women also have to walk on separate sides of the street.

It is interesting that people will often moan or complain about Muslims or Eastern Europeans not assimilating with British culture or keeping in their own communities, but Jews having their own laws in their own communities doesn't bother seem to bother anyone as much.

I am seeing lots of text but can't make any sense of it whatsoever.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]

I think that ygb has some serious self confidence and insecurity issues. Somehow a topic that is not about him is turning in to a topic all about how attractive he is and how younger girls like him and check him out.

Are you the same guy who made a post a while ago about how you met two young teenage Russian girls on a beach while on holiday and then didn't manage to take them to bed and you were really upset? Perhaps that was some other weirdo.

This topic is about a damn sexual predator and others, not how easy it is for you to get girls half your age to take an interest in you. Get over yourself.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]



I completely agree that Weinstein is as nasty as they get and it's good he has been outed and should be punished, but there are probably many like him in show business, either those we don't know about, or some that we do but for some reason they've gone unpunished. This is why they say, there's no business like show business, because you can get away with anything.

Some of these women are almost as deplorable as him though. Many of those accusing him have now made names for themselves. They kept quiet for so long, to protect their career, and in doing so, allowed this type of behaviour to continue. Imagine how many women they could have protected if they spoke out back then? Now they are rich and famous so they speak out. Oh how 'brave' of them.

Then you have to think how many other women there are who haven't said anything, because they got main parts in Weinstein movies for a filthy price. If they say anything now, it will tarnish their roles in the movie business, because we will know why they got them. It probably wouldn't be hard to figure out though. Since this is how things generally work with Weinstein, all you have to do is look up the movies he has produced and find attractive women who had leading roles in them. It's highly likely many of them got their roles by giving Weinstein what he wanted.

Hollywood is a sick place and to be honest, we shouldn't be supporting it. People have to stop going to the movies if they don't agree with this, because by going to movies and buying any other merchandise related to these films, we fund these sickos.
