Yeah right, that's why you use it politically (like in your last post by changing the countries names) Why didn't you mention kids abused in Poland by priests where quite often no sentences were given? How will you change Poland's name in that case?

You see, the case is you are full of sh*t and only interested in your agenda. Don't worry though, I'm not revealing a secret- everynody knows.

As to that case it's hard to prevent. Criminals like that always find the most vulnerable people. Plus quite often when finding job abroad people relay on others.

To the smart asses here it would be good to get to know how the system works with seasonal work for example in The Netherlands. You call someone and you can hear ' Sunday 4 am' a bus there and there and you are going. One doesn't know where they will live etc. You get there and your passport are taken by the agency to record everything. And suddenly you are in a foreign country without documents.

And we are talkin about legit agencies that will give you your papers back etc but sometimes one can get involved with a dodgy one.

Both are serious crimes. Sentences should reflect that. And somehow I doubt you are in any way bothered by those kids fate- you just like to rant about certain topics. Do you think you fool anyone here?

And when it comes to clowns- I don't know about the world but I see few clowns right here- you included

News / Berlin terrorist attack -- Poland's ethnic homogeneity a true blessing [436]


You are right only to certain degree. Even though there is a Pope Catolicism differs in different countries. Hell it can even differ in one country. There are different fractions and the voice of the Pope is not always followed. And that's without going into ppl personal opinion. Even on PF you have ppl who are Catholics yet don't listen to the Pope.


Do you really think that if I was killed in a terrorist attack I would care why someone committed that act? Am I supposed to feel better looking at the victim's grave because they weren't killed in the name of God?

Comparing the two situations is valid not because they commited act of terrorism for the same reason but to show that Catholics are as capable of doing it as Muslims.

There is plenty of Muslims that live normal lives yet we want to push them into one terrorist lot. When Catholics did it we are supposed to say it's only them. Or following Atch argument maybe we should judge all Republicans as IRA terrorists?

Not to mention that nice difference in wording:


Vs


Because of course all the bombing and casualties are troubles when it's Ireland but it's terror campaign with Muslims.

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


I agree as I don't see your comment as an argument.
The only thing we do by putting all Muslims into this weird 'you are all the same bad, terrorist lot' is creating more hostility and higher risk of kids getting extreme. I'm not saying there is no problem but branding 1.6 billion ppl is simply ridiculous and no sensible person could support that.

What's even worse is that some ppl start to think that since someone is a Muslim he cannot be your countryman/ guy next door.

One of my lecturer was an ex US soldier that thought in Balkans. He said the scariest thing was that families that lived next to each other for years and intermarried now were at war and killing each other. We are getting to the point where it can start looking like that. I for one don't want to be part of it.

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


I don't see why they should. After all when I still considered myself Catholic I wouldn't dream to go to protest because other Catholic that I never met commited an act of terrorism, the same as now I wouldn't go to a protest because some atheist created an act of terrorism.

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


We do have our own Muslims assimilated centuries ago. They even had nobility titles. True it's a bit different but somehow they didn't manage to change Poland and didn't even try.

The problem with ppl like you is not realising that while there are Muslims that create problems and we need some solution putting such huge group of ppl into one category is simply moronic and illogical.

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


I usually try not to comment on your general posts about language but here I have no choice...
You are right about that pot/kettle thing. And you are guilty of it as well, even more than other ppl here. Multiple times you commented how members here and Poles in general can't speak English on high enough level while you yourself usually cannot write one sentence in Polish without making a mistake. And you have the cheek to say you translate Polish!

I appreciate your effort to learn Polish and I wouldn't want to discourage you just point out that sometimes you should look in the mirror.

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


They create the country in the same capacity you do it. I don't see why you think your values are in any way more important than theirs. And why you refer to muslims as if all of them were guests while in fact they may have the same or longer citizenship heritage. As citizens they have the same right as you do to decide how the country should look like

Love / How do I find out if someone is a bigamist? [20]


In communist times you had to have two weddings as church one didn't count. Then we signed concordat and now one can have only one. Still many ppl choose to separate them. Usually it's just the money issue. A party after wedding can be very expensive so couples wait.

What might interest you is that there is growing demand for a nice 'non religious' ceremony. Because of that government officials can now marry you in the place of your choosing for certain fee. Also there is a market of 'slub humanistyczny' which is secular but still ceremonial. I never been to one but I saw such funeral and I must say it was much more personal than the church one.

News / Should Poland's taxpayer money be used to finance illegal theatre productions? [53]

As usual you want to stir ****...
If I remember correctly in Nergal case (for burning Bible on his concert I believe ) the judge ruled that since it was a concert and ppl knew what kind of artist he was no one can claim their feelings were offended - they went there willingly. I think the same applies here. You don't want to watch it, don'don't go.

And claiming that a sciene of planning to kill Kaczynski is in any way 'instigation to murder' is simply hilarious. If that's the case than any movie showing murder, rape etc would classify.

Come down to Earth Polonius or are you too far gone?

Love / How do I find out if someone is a bigamist? [20]


They are usually performed if a couple already took civil wedding. Normal story goes like that: a couple takes civil wedding because of taxes, kids etc but wait with the church one till they have money for nice ceremony(as church gives that atmosphere and surrounding ) and big party. However it's possible to just take church one. From what I read foreigners go for that option to avoid formalities with getting married and getting divorced internationally.

Love / How do I find out if someone is a bigamist? [20]

Actually there are 3 types of wedding:
-cywilny- state one performed by a government official
-konkordatowy- performed by a priest uniting both religious and civil ceremony
-koscielny- performed by a priest and strictly religious. One needs permission from the local authorities (kuria)
In two first cases he would be legally married with the third type he could get theoretically married to his heart's content. Of course that would mean he cannot describe himself as married to UK government as it wouldn't be recognised. However if they cared about religion or wanted to satisfy their families they could have done that. Still a wedding and no bigamy

Love / Should I follow her? I met a beautiful Polish woman who has been working in the UK [62]


It's of course your relationship but to me such behaviour indicates failed relationship. You were angry and I get it but I can't imagine myself or my partner going on a internet forum and use such words because we had a fight. I'm not saying she didn't give you reasons to be angry what I'm saying is that so much anger and such behaviour indicates that your relationship is dead.

Love / Should I follow her? I met a beautiful Polish woman who has been working in the UK [62]


I can see that your relationship is truly screwed up...if you write such things about your partner because you had a fight it's really toxic relation. Let her go to Poland and find someone you respect enough not to write such things even if you had a rough time.

Love / Should I follow her? I met a beautiful Polish woman who has been working in the UK [62]

I can relate to what she's feeling. Being an immigrant, especially when as a Pole she's mostly viewed as a cheap worker, is not easy. And when you start thinking about family...you want to pass certain values and be close to family. So I do get that.

However her not talking to you about your options as a couple doesn't sound good. Did she ever sit down with you and actually said that she has a hard time and the two of you should discuss your options? If she never included you in this then I doubt it will turn out ok. Try talking to her and ask why she ignores you in her plans. It's possible she just doesn't think you could make it in Poland but I wouldn't keep my hopes up. Sorry.

News / Jesus Christ is Now Officially the King of Poland [164]

Maybe you are right if you mean ppl being completely different than you. Ppl like you were the first reason why I started to turn away from the church. You see, for me religion was mostly about being good person, helping others as much as I can and leaving judgement for God as it's not my place to do it myself. Ppl and priests like you made me think I won't find it in the church.

News / Jesus Christ is Now Officially the King of Poland [164]

Maybe because you claimed it was will of the ppl (which it wasn't as there was no vote) and that we should show respect which I'm not prepared to give any more than to any other religious celebration in any religion.

News / Jesus Christ is Now Officially the King of Poland [164]


There was no vote but you are right it's now a fact that religious ppl can now look upon Christ as a king of Poland however it doesn't really change anything. In fact the only law still in power is the constitution stating that Poland is a secular country with freedom of religion.

And FYI that was voted on.


We have no proof for that statement, only your opinion. I know quite a lot of Catholics that find it silly.

I just love it!!!
On a different thread you are saying that it was ok for Kaczynski to be a prosecutor during those times because there were still bad ppl to be judged and put in jail. But to be a policeman wasn't ok? Who would supply the bad ppl and evidence to that prosecutor?

You made my day I must say.
BTW, it wouldn't have anything to do with those policeman reaching retirement age now, would it?
