History / Poland during the Renaissance [146]

Lols,whats kazimierz then you loon?

Yes. The rule that (for religious Jewish people) that you have to walk to the synagogue, not go by car or horse & carriage, plus the need to be near sources of kosher food, has often created Jewish parts of town. A Ghetto however is more than that - in the case of Kazimierz (and the Grzybov) they are outside the old town boundaries for a reason.

@Jonny Communism would not improove thers lives. Quite the contrary, to be sure.

The lives of the poorest can't get any worse than they are under capitalism. Anyway, who's talking about communism? There are plenty of alternatives that are not on the right wing of the political spectrum.

Any city in Scotland. Unlike the rest of Europe (including Poland) there was never any legislation regarding Jews.

They have an opporunity to improove their lives. Even in slums, there is still hope

Tell that to people in the barrios of Rio de Janeiro.

You prosper.

Some most definitely don't prosper - look at the slums, trailers, hunger.

Work / Never work for Mike Mills in Warsaw [28]

It has an excellent reputation as a school and as an employer.

According to post 283 Harry - the Mike Mills school is ok

From the list on there:

ACT - Still going, still good teachers, smaller than it used to be.
Lang - Likewise
Resource - Reluctantly sold by its excellent owner and didn't thrive afterwards. Closed 18 months later
WSC - Still going but lost their biggest customer. Decent teachers, awkward firm to work for.
Ability - Dunno - isn't there a Callan School with that name.
L2 - Unusual methods. Was making money. Is it still going?
Extreme - Who?
Mike Mills - Still good

UK, Ireland / Bath City offers 80% discount to Polish people [18]

Yeah I am aware it wouldn't be fair to knock down with a sucker punch some possibly innocent Brit in Poland.On one hand I guess I can understand their frustration, on the other one I am Polish and right after reading this kind of stuff I really feel hatred toward Brits.But like I am saying after cooling off a bit I realize that I should not paint all of them with the same brush.

A million came overnight so we can expect bollocks like that posted on the internet, it appears, even onfora like this one and ubiquitously on newspaper comments fields. In reality there's no problems.

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

First day of Spring is Ground Hog Day.

The first day of spring is when it feels like the first day of spring. You just know.

"An equinox happens each year at two specific moments in time (rather than two whole days), when there is a location (the subsolar point) on the Earth's equator, where the center of the Sun can be observed to be vertically overhead, occurring around March 20/21 and September 22/23 each year".

Very true.

Language / Polish word "Dom" and its similarities in different languages [46]

Yiddish is a mixed language mainly Ashkenazi

No it isn't - it is a Germanic language. But provide a link to a source anyway.

"Ra" has Hebrew root, transferred from old Egypty times

No it doesn't. It has a pre-Khemetic root. But provide a link to a source anyway.

Dom has Altaic root

No it doesn't. It is from ProtoIndoEuropean. So let's have another link to a source.

Radom is Yiddish word with no Germanic word inclusion.

No it isn't. But just for fun, provide a link to a source.

Four untrue and ridiculous statements. So let's see you back them up with anything other than the unbalanced chemicals swirling round in that shrivelled gland you call a brain.

Abraham didn't speak an IndoEuropean language, and Yiddish is a European language of the Germanic family which originated over two thousand years after Abraham died. You really are talking out of your arsehole.

Life / Why are Poles in other countries called "Plastic Poles"? [168]

Yes. That PolskiMoc kid today was a classic example. His relatives left around WW 1, he'd visited once, and is fixated on al sorts of racial theories about Slavs etc. Probably because he can't adjust to the realities of his own life. Poland is not a hobby. He wouldn't last 10 minutes in Warsaw.

News / POLES FEEL LIKE JEWS HAVE TOO MUCH CONTROL IN POLAND - TRUE? [209]

supposedly 'scientific'

Yes, scientific.

they have absolutely no right to the land of Palestine, and no right to 'ethnically cleanse' the indigenous population

As much right as white people have to the US and Canada.

News / POLES FEEL LIKE JEWS HAVE TOO MUCH CONTROL IN POLAND - TRUE? [209]

You invested with some real estate developer in Jerusalem?

Read up on it - not just racist stuff.

The study, reported in today's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was conducted by Dr. Michael F. Hammer of the University of Arizona with colleagues in the United States, Italy, Israel, England and South Africa. The results accord with Jewish history and tradition and refute theories like those holding that Jewish communities consist mostly of converts from other faiths, or that they are descended from the Khazars, a medieval Turkish tribe that adopted Judaism. ]

"damla" (rain droplet) and "damlamak" (to drip)

Doesn't relate to a home.

So, written sources have weaker evidence than mine

You have no evidence at all.

probably written by scholars like Crow.

You are two of a kind.

You are a clever guy so explain why you are going up such a blind alley with this?

All evidence points to the contrary.

Who says Turks came to Anatolia later?

Less than relevant. The extinct Anatolian language was part of the IndoEuropean family, as was Tocharian, and given the nomadic proclivities of the Turks it would surprise nobody if their word for 'house' was a loanword from other languages.
