Real Estate / How are Poland's properties priced? [51]

I think it is a bit sharp for people from the U.S., Ireland, England etc... whose housing prices have just been completely and utterly bust to be poking fun at a relatively, let me repeat "relativity", stable priced market here in Poland.

If it is so arse-ways here, why are all your countries wiping a great big bloody nose on the tax payer?

banks will loan

The banks send out their own evaluator when you get a mortgage here.
Admittedly this did get slack a couple of years ago when things were on the up-and-up but all this rigmarole credit crunch has popped that one.

Great post as always.

Life / Is Poland a safe country for people of color? [241]

I have no experience of the towns you mention, although there are some towns I happily take the ring road around.

Warsaw I didnt care for either.

I like cities generally but Warsaw would not be my favourite place, it is very possible that I have not been introduced to the hot spots.

I am Irish, I live in between Krakow and Zakopane and I think they are really great places to see.

Also when I was young there were very few people of colour in Ireland and people would also stare. Poland reminds me of the way Ireland used to be.

(be prepared of RN to manipulate my words...)

Edit*

you should have just done Wroclaw insetad,

I think I have to go to Wroclaw this summer.

Poland really transforms into a different country in the summer.

Yes! that is one of the great things about here, it now feels like I live in a different country.

Przemos gurl: There is nothing romantic or sexy about it.

Where were you?

This is already quit a long thread so I will just ask.

Because I think there are unromantic and unsexy places in every country, it sounds like you went to the wrong places. There are some really great places to see in Poland, unfortunately it seems like you did not get to them. I understand you do not wish to speak ill of anywhere but I am curious.

But this is just my opinion.

Language / Optimal word order in: Czy dobrze się wczoraj bawiłaś? [22]

SzwedwPolsce: Is this the optimal word order? Or at least a good word order?

Yes and Yes.

Do you do this just to make the rest of us non-nationals living in Poland look bad? :)

because your level of Polish is making me look bad ;p

And then you even have the cheek to do it all in English, not your native tongue!

You're a good guy SzwedwPolsce, I hope I get to buy you a beer one day, if you ever come o Krakow or Zakopane, let me know.

You keep recommending books when I have "real life" experience.

Yeah Pffft! books, who needs them...

We make our own minds up as we go along in life

You have made up your mind already, we both agree on that.
You are unwilling to look at any alternatives, the book is a genuine investigations in to this subject.

No, what you did was "tell" me to read about something,

I recommended it.

Are you drunk?

Ive know enough Asias in my time to know how they look down on "dark" skin.

But that has nothing to do with my book recommendation.

So what is it then?

You are not asking a question and it is obvious that you are not interested in investigating it at all. You just want more things that backup your already made up mind.

I have offered an alternative but you choose to ignore it and come out with something about Asians. I am not going to help you solidify your already immoveable opinion.

is it just coincidence?

No it is not coincidence, you should really read that book, you jump to conclusions because it suits you to do so.
If you really are as interested in this subject, as you appear to be by all your posts based on this, you will not mind reading someone asking the question.

As for your recommendations, I know very well how asians feel about...

I recommended a book to read what are you talking about?

FACT!

Oh, excuse me, I thought this was a discussion rather than you shouting anything you think backs up your racist view.

Why?

Because it is ridiculous, Melanin has no effect on people's ability to succeed in life.

Most if not all of the countries with dark skinned people are slow developing and flee to devleoped countries where they have light coloured skin

Again I recommend you read Guns, Germs, and Steel, it is an investigation in to that question.

so its not just a European thing.

I said ''some people'', not Europeans.

I never really understood why some people got so fixated on the natural evolutionary pigment Melanin.
It is just bizarre when you think of it and read some of the posts.

Not strictly true, when people say "people of colour" they generally mean black people, I dont know about you, but as far as Im concerned, black people are not European.

There are many Black British people
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_black_Britons

are they not European?
If not then you have a fair few Olympic medals to hand back and a bunch of other awards.

it's very unlikely it works correctly one minute and doesn't work another minute,

That is why I thought it was my computer rather than this site, so I did not mention it but now that I am not the only one, I don't know.

I know why it is inconsistent.

It works fine when I am in "Latest Discussions".

But it does not work when I am in either: "My Threads" or "My Posts".

Is anyone else having this thing?

I was trying to find an example of it not going to the last page but I can't.
It seems now that the adds are up and running it has corrected itself.

It happened, when I press the last one 6 on this thread it goes to 6 but 11 is the last page.

oh-so-unwanted by admin ads (google ads) suddenly appeared in every thread

Since I have joined there has always been an option on this site to advertise.

Southern aka king polkakamon has taken over virtually every subject there is, have you given up on banning him now?

He has had a few more names since I last saw you on here, always getting banned.

So if you press the blue 12 and you entre the thread, you see that the thread is a few pages longer than 12.

I am not trying to be funny but it works now or at least it did for the threads I just tried.

News / Polish nightclub guard whacks off client's hand with saber [58]

What about the Yakuza? I am sure if I google it, I will find an attack in Japan using a sword cutting off someone's hand.

Edit*

I have heard from people who have lived and visited Japan that it is over all one of the safest countries in the world but safe or otherwise, there are always nutters.

A MAN rammed a lorry into a crowd of shoppers, jumped out and went on a stabbing spree in central Tokyo yesterday, killing at least seven people and wounding ten others.

The killings are the latest in a series of grisly knifings that have stoked fears of rising crime in Japan.

News / Polish nightclub guard whacks off client's hand with saber [58]

I think the fact that it is not hidden shows that Poland is a civilized country although this was such a brutal attack. I would be much more afraid if it was not talked about. Unfortunately instances like this happen in every country.

Maybe he wouldn't get his round in?

Some newspapers say that is what happened but lets face it if the security guy had a machete, he was looking to use it.

He chopped of his hand but according to one newspaper report, the victim was trying to defend himself while the nutter was swinging at him, so it should be attempted murder.

that was mafia crime

Do you really think the mafia care about some punter?
I am generally of the opinion that the mafia do not care about joe public but businessmen and people in positions of power.

Really I think it is obvious that if the bouncer had a machete, he was crazy.

News / Hollywood's War with Poland. [150]

Want to quote the post in which I attempt to justify the massacre in any way shape of form?

There you go trying to "justify" this massacre again, despicable:

were a reprisal for the assassination of 14 British Intelligence officers, known as the Cairo Gang, by Michael Collins's 'squad' earlier that day."

I've found out no such thing

No surprise there as you lack knowledge about Ireland, of course you could have followed the links I provided but hell why back down when it is so obvious you know nothing.

1) Machine guns were not used to shoot anybody.

I never said they were, I said a machine gun was used.

2) Armoured cars were not used to shoot anybody.

Again I never said they were, I said it was used outside the grounds.

3) British Troops did not shoot anybody.

Yes they did, just because you have not got a clue what you are talking about is not a defence.
I suppose the Republic of Ireland is still part of Britain today because Ireland and Britain are known geographically as the "British Isles"?

5) Yer man Neil Jordan is a lying little fuckker.

I've found out no such thing (other than point 5).

Changing your argument shows your lack of knowledge.

6) The point that yer man Neil Jordan is a lying little fuckker is the one which I was originally making.

It is you who are the lying fuckker as this is a well documented case but you can't face that your too stubborn to admit when you are wrong.

Hollywood's racist lies about Britain and the British,

No comment no? for such a smart arse, know it all, you have problems verbalising your hair-brained views that you so willingly fall into and defend against irrifutable evidence.

British forces opened fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football

the Black and Tans took revenge the same afternoon, attacking spectators

Encyclopedia Britannica

British forces opened fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football match in Croke Park, killing fourteen Irish civilians.

Leading British politicians and the King made no secret of their horror at the behaviour of forces of the Crown. The mass murder of men, women and children, both spectators and football players, made international headlines, damaging British credibility. A combination of the loss of the Cairo Gang, which devastated British Intelligence in Ireland, and the public relations disaster that was 'Bloody Sunday', severely damaged the cause of British rule in Ireland and increased support for the republican ministry under Eamon de Valera.

in the afternoon Black and Tan troops opened fire on a Gaelic football crowd at Croke Park,

The Black and Tans (Irish: Dúchrónaigh) was one of two newly recruited bodies, composed largely of World War I veterans, employed by the Royal Irish Constabulary from 1920 to 1921 to suppress revolution in Ireland.

News / Hollywood's War with Poland. [150]

Machine guns were not used, an armed car was not driven into the stadium, British troops did not do the shooting and fewer than 14 civilians died (12 to be exact; 14 was the number of suspected British intelligence operatives murdered by the IRA earlier in the day).

So you have found out that 1) a machine gun was used, 2) an armoured car was used (admittedly outside and not inside the stadium), 3) British troops did shoot and 4) kill 13 not 12 innocent civilians and injured 65 more 5) as they opened fire on innocent civilians watching a game in a stadium.

6) And 14 is not the number of suspected British intelligence operatives killed in the morning.

In all, 13 people were killed and 6 wounded, including suspected agents and those with no connection to politics, and two Auxiliaries. Four of the British casualties were military intelligence officers and another four were Secret Service or MI5 agents.

As for you trying to justify this slaughter of innocent lives and having no knowledge of the events is despicable of you Harry.

'Leading British politicians and the King made no secret of their horror at the behaviour of forces of the Crown.

Aftermath

Do stop your utterly pathetic whining.

After you posted that you quoted this: Hollywood's racist lies about Britain and the British, effectively disarming your previous retort.
