UK, Ireland / EXCHANGE RATES BETWEEN POLISH ZLOTY AND BRITISH POUND [73]

Is this not just a side effect of the Euro collapsing against the Dollar/Pound? The EUR/PLN rate hasn't moved at all.

"The Euro collapsing" ???

1 Euro = 1.3339 U.S. dollars
1 Euro = 0.846500 British Pound

When??? Where???

History / Polish president Mościcki and Hermann Göring hunting together in 1938 [76]

German jewish refugees in Poland...

...
The Polish government was extremely unhappy about the whole situation. Trying to pay the Germans back in their own coin, it threatened to expel German citizens from Poland, especially German Jewish refugees who had arrived from Germany in previous years. In this tragic situation, where the mutual animosity of two anti-Semitic states was typically and brutally expressed by the maltreatment of each other's Jews.

Interesting find:

Genealogy / DNA Testing in Poland. Is it popular? [81]

I prefer my easy "one-common-blue eyed-ancestor" theory!

I like that...all blue eyed people are my family...stemming from one mutant...6-10.000 years back...*let's huuuuuuuug*

Bad stereotypes and people believing them, that Poles are drunks, uneducated, thieves, stole "your" land, uncivilized Slavs.

Again, where should the hate come from?

Germans are seen by you as humourless, brutal, clinical robotics who opressed and destroyed your country and killed the half of your people.. do you hate me/the Germans?

Bratwurst Boy i know you'll never admit it but most Germans do hate Poles,

If they would I would say it, believe me! I'm not a PC-kind of guy as you should know by now!

Where should the hate come from in the first place? What did you do?
Between "not feeling sympathy" and "hate" lie worlds, won't you agree?

And it is nigh impossible than to have a worse image than Turks here...

You are mixing things up here...again...but then, who cares.
If it rocks your boat hating Germans (all 80 millions of us) for allegedly hating Poles (and all other Slavs btw. by default) be my guest! *yawn* It get's boring soon (for most of us that is)...

Borrka: "They hate us!"

Me: "No, they don't"

Borrka: "They hate all Slavs, especially Poles"

Me: "What? All 82 Millions of us?"

Borrka: " They always hated us..since ever!"

Me: "Really! And how about all this intermingling
and mixing and the generations of Poles living
in Germany and vice versa? What about all
the mutually enrichments?"

Borrka: " They hate us! I know it! Oh how I hate them!!!"

There are at least two subcategories in German (not Nazi only) attitude towards Slavs:
"good" Slavs having their national agenda fully in line with German chauvinistic objectives and
"bad" Slavs opposing it.

You really like this stuff, don't you...

Poles and Serbs were bad (even today they are)

They are?

The whole thing is an example of rapid development. Does the union have the wealth to spread to all its member nations?

No it hasn't, as "the union" isn't some faceless entity but all of us members.

Right now it develops into a money-transfer union from the richer, better developed countries to the poorer, less or more onesided developed countries.
Something many people in the "giving" countries plainly resent.

It's a question about how we want this union to be seen.
Even the richest union of this world, the United States of America has poorer states which are always supported by the richer states.
But they have what we still don't have...one country under one flag, the knowledge and feeling to belong to the same nation!
Something many want to achieve with the EU in Europe too...

Right now it seems we have more of the downsides without enjoying the upsides of such a union because we are stuck somewhere in the middle!

It's all abit messy now but necessary on the way of our development as we have to go the whole nine yard in the end to make this thing work.

The EU's drive to expand the eurozone at all costs is stupid.

It was more idealistic than stupid.
The Euro was seen by political idealists as a tool to forge a stronger european union.
Since something like this was never tried before problems were bound to arise.

Surely one could put all the blame now at the US/UK credit crunch crisis but that would only be
halfway true as this only accelerated the inborn frailties of this current euro zone...
Two such diverging economies as for example a high tech tools manufacturing industry needs other rules than a mainly tourism industry economy...that's now a widely accepted fact.

That's why changes have to be made and will be made!

But I doubt that Greece (or Ireland for that matter) will be better off alone all by themselves.
If these countries default without any helping hand people will again resort to fleeing the country and selling their labor in the EU.
Their countries having no chance whatsoever to get back to their feet as nobody will help them monetary nor with investments as the EU will do.

Neither the EU nor the EURO are to blame for their problems but they are their best chance not to fall back into dark times.

Most interesting if seen in the later "slavic subhuman" context what many now (thanks to after war history writing) see as the most driving force behind the Nazi actions which I started to doubt for awhile now.

You don't go hunting with a subhuman, not even diplomatically.

Göring wouldn't want to found dead with a Jew for example...

Another hint that the interwar Poland had a choice (between rock and a hart place admittedly) but still a choice...

Not everyone!

For many countries sharing the same currency in a real union without borders works, in central and northern Europe for example. And many of those there who are not yet in the Eurozone will fit in well.

But in the South there are other traditions, other cultural values, even different styles of economies working which chafe with the current set of rules which are more made for the northern economies.

One size does not fit all!

Not to mention that the current crisis was made in the US/UK and has nothing to do with the Euro (Ireland for example).
People like to mix things up here...

There things have to will change, adapt. But the Eurozone will in the end be stronger for it once this crisis is overcome and lessons learnt!

1.) We will mope and gripe and scoff but we will bailout if there is no other way.

2.) The Eurozone will be reformed, rules changed, treaties reworked to make sure such crisis won't happen again. Changes are going to happen, that's sure too!

3.) A two tier Euro counts for me as adapting, to secure the future of the euro-zone.
Maybe some countries will have to leave the Eurozone and others won't even become members in the first place because their economies aren't fit for it but the Euro-zone will stay for sure.

Not at least because Germany profits from it mightily! Much more as we suffer from it, bailouts or not!

The Euro-zone was built primarily by politicians with a political vision, it's time to let the economy wizards have their go at it. It needs to be put on real working feet. It won't be easy and it won't be pretty but it will happen.

PS: The German doesn't like revolts that much in the first place....;)

I think Sarrazin is the problem.

The messenger isn't the problem, it's about the message!

Just look what you said yourself, he doesn't have a problem with the Europeans, with whom then? With the Muslims, with the darker sinned ones, with the people who sell fruit on the corner?

It's only some muslims! They don't fit into Europe...whenever there are cultural clashes it's between the native Europeans (across Europe) and immigrant muslims.

I'm just waiting for the Kristallnacht to happen again.

If it rocks your boat...

We never have enough!

Of course you don't have problems with Europeans. Just with the Eastern Europeans.

And here I thought Eastern Europeans were also Europeans...my fault!

And given the fact that Thilo Saraziin is a very well selling author right now, I'm really worried that it all will cause more and more issues between the foreigners and the society that none of this contributes to any constructive solutions.

The first step to a solution for a problem is the acknowledgment of the existence of said problem.
In that regard we have to be grateful for Sarrazin. Now it's on the politicians...

PS: Even Sarrazins problems wasn't with Europeans (not even eastern Europeans)!

...not to mention that Merkels final acceptance of failed multi-kulti wasn't meant against european kultis. It's not Europeans we have problems with!

Me thinks you Marynka have issues with Germany?

Germans don't respect talent as much as Americans do

My arse, what a stupid statement! How do you think Germany got where it is if it wouldn't respect talent???
