News / PiS spokesman steps down after Poland's CBA find undeclared cash in his bank account [22]

And so we

I just wonder why are you talking sides in Poland's politics? I mean you are in Poland about five years and you cannot possibly grasp all undercurrents and issues and yet you are wholeheartedly embracing one political party which happened to be in charge. Is that because you are naturally an intellectual lackey and opportunist or you just do it for a hell of it.

Language / Frustrated Polish Learner -- people in Poland try to speak to me in English [31]

Or go to a village or some small town.

What is that obsession with villages?

The bonus is, for many small-town people, having a foreign friend is a status!

Yes, all others natives are bringing such a person a small offerings and keep the best place around a fire.

UK, Ireland / Why can't unemployed Polish people on benefits just leave UK and go home please? [240]

ronside if you want a real picture of what's going on read this extremely biased report from the BBC. The BBC are pro immigration. The comments below are more relevant than the article.

Well, What I can see is a lot of unlearned posers who are talking about their feelings and their beliefs and on a rare occasion about some extreme and no representative criminal behavior. There were few myths about immigrants in Britain which has been refuted. Somehow those fact doesn't seems to sink in into a common consciousness of the population.

Don't take me wrong I don't think that such populations transfer should be going on at all but it doesn't change the fact that majority of those whining about immigrants are either those who want to build political capital on people's resentment or morons.

Rather than see immigrants as invaders who are doing everything bad and if they don't they still are doing all those bad thing and are bad even if they are good and whoever says something to the contrary belongs to the conspiracy of pro-European clique.

They could see those immigrants as victims of the same disease that Britannia embraced long time ago namely a big international capital and corporate banking system. In whose interest all that shifting and propelling is going on inside the EU. Importing workers to fill vacancies or odd jobs has been a standing tradition in those so called "advanced" counties like Germany, France and Britain long before the EU has been joined by the new countries. The only thing that changed is that such import cannot be caped on a moment notice and that Britain seem to be handling that new immigration wave very badly but that is not a fault of immigrants.

They could but they will not because at best they are not very bright and at worst their vision is impaired by their harness.
Unless WB and his idea unsaddle all those mighty in charge. :)

News / Poland to sign FATCA, USA will get information about bank accounts [67]

And it won't be until less than 10% of Poles going to the US quit overstaying their visas.

Well I'm blaming the USA for that on the square. You can go and suck on egg.

Poland is going to sing FATCA, thanks to the agreement USA will get information about Polish bank accounts of Americans and Poles with green card.

They can kiss good bye some monies but as most banks are in foreign hands .....

UK, Ireland / Mentally ill people in British society [55]

Shouting, swearing, messing up the table, generally being loud and drawing a lot of attention to himself, making it impossible to ignore.

Could autism or learning disability - not necessary a mental illness, rather mental disability, a different kettle of fish.

I'd pity the person.

Stop pretending delph the one thing I'm certain about you is that you lack empathy.

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

In essence, scholars of Germany, from Friedrich Meinecke through Gordon Craig, have basically agreed that the foundations of Germanic "thinking"

There is no Germanic thinking. As for expansion you can say that Prussian circumstances coupled with french Huguenots resulted in a new nation called German Empire in which aggressiveness and a spirit of conquest has between imprinted by the very example of Prussian success in destroying the Kingdom of Poland. Which has been afterwards methodically and scientifically squared by German Universities hence your scholars, servants of the state, reason over morality, typical for Byzantine philosophy.

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

None of 'em would be to my taste, they're square, 'orrible, on busy roads. They'd have to pay me to buy them. And the prices suggest my view is common.

Do you must buy a place in Wroclaw>? I think outskirts would be a better long term option for you.

They certainly wouldn't, not least because Poles don't often admit to their cheating ways.

You are certainly exaggerate that phenomena, I wouldn't think that that practice in Poland is not much more common than in Scotland.

. Do you think Jesus would want to lock people up just because they disturbed someone?

What you mean disturbed? In same cases Jesus would chase away evil spirits.

I try to lead a Christian life.

You are sinking.

nd a mentally ill person at a table nearby began to behave loudly and in a very disruptive way,

What exactly you have in mind?

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

Yeah, right. Western music without leitmotif (or the hymn of Europe), Western philosophy without the categorical imperative and Marxism, Western sociology without the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, mathematics without Gauss, Western history without Protestantism.
Some of you are seriously deluded.

I'm sure that suitable would arise if needed. As for Protestantism I'm sure that Europe would be better off for that particular distraction which is dying anyway, the same goes for Marxism which is definitely evil, what spirit of capitalism, people were enterprising long before Protestantism, if you mean that naked greed had been unleashed, that is not something to be proud off.

With expedition of Gauss all those figures could be erased from history without much regret.
You are delusional if you think that all that are irreversibly necessary for European culture to develop.

BTW: what exactly did Poland contribute to the Western civilization if these people don't count? Was Poland ever a civilized culture or just a peasants society?

BTW If you must ask what exactly you are doing in this thread? Reacting to the world Germanic? Get a life.

I'm sure that suitable substitute would arise if needed.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

Well it is a very good example of bureaucrats and other scum supported by one or other influential lobby's who are do not work for good of their constituency but for those lobbing groups whose promise to finance them and have whose will support their elections. That installation which supposed to be only temporally (yet another lie) is now being used by activist of LGB and other such dangerous scum as a symbol of their influence over Waltz and other slimy politicians.

That installation has been burned five times already and renovating that cost about 300 000 US$. I wonder why it is so expensive is that because some firm belongs to one of the Waltz cronies and she let him make a fortune from taxpayers money which should be rather used for the good of the public. That also may be an answer why that installation has been burned so many times, maybe that firm who is renovating it paid some people to do it? Why it cost so much to renovate it? After all metal construction hasn't been damaged it only needs repainting or redecorating that shouldn't cost 60 000zl. This is robbery.

As for whether it should be installed there in the first place. Not at all. That plaza is not a place-for that kind of propaganda. Which is kinda obviously for anybody to see except for those who are brainwashed or those who are on the other side of the war against civilization.

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

What does this mean ? A warning ?
But thinking grows out of a civilization, and is predefined by it

There is no such a thing like Slavic and Germanic thinking. If anything that deep in the past there were the same tribal thinking.

So, Germany isn't a civilized culture

Germany is a Byzantine civilization planted in the middle of Europe.

And how Western civilization would look without them.Goethe, Schiller, Kant, Leibniz, Gauss, Nietzsche, Hegel, Marx, Benz, Planck, Luther, Weber, Wagner, Brecht or Schopenhauer

I think all would do just fine without them. All the others are not a key figures as well.

UK, Ireland / Mentally ill people in British society [55]

Let me ask this question. Is it wrong if say, a restaurant owner, refuses to let a mentally ill [or autistic, if you don't consider that mentally ill] person in, because they wouldn't want other customers, who have paid a lot of money to have a pleasant meal, to be disturbed?

That is a very good qestion and one I'm not going to answer. However mentally ill people is not right or factual description of people with learning disability.

You don't own the public space and its semi-public we have laws to protect us against your type.

People can be alarmed and disturbed, nobody can be forced to be emphatic.

Life / My Słowianie (music video mocks stereotypes about Poles and Slavs) [46]

the thing is Poles in general do not think about themselves as Slaves.

Well, put. It summarizes the parasitic nature of 'Nationalists' - I'm great because of the actions of others.

What are you talking about? Ah you are Brit, an average Brit is more nationalistic than a nationalist in Poland. No wonder you are confused.

Reclaiming the perjorative terms the right-wing marchers love to spew out.

Why? You are doing the same slandering all good decent and patriotic people who took part in the march(99,9%) and focusing your attention on same fringe individuals. Those things happens in Paris and London on much bigger scale and nobody is getting hysterical like you.

I do not insult people

Sure you do. You insult decent, hard working people native to this country who made up majority of the march; as I said 99,9%. #

Hence they burnt the rainbow.

I'm sure that while people were marching some property were stolen in Praga - do you blame it on the march like 90% of Polish biased or brainless media with an IQ of a sleaze.

You stand for a kind of Poland which 70% does not accept.

Talking in the name of Poles - that priceless given the fact you are Belgian.

No. It wasn't that. There were certainly pseudopatriots there. Patriots they were not. Ask a grown-up what the difference is.

I say it was Patriotic march. Pry tell the difference.

Watch out sobieski and do not insult people you insolent curl.

Most of them

OK, so from a group of four photo three have nothing to do with Nazi or racist or anything of the sort. That just allusion to antebellum Polish national organization - no big deal.

On the second photography you have three people holding some unrecognizable to me symbol I presume that is some kind of racist stuff. Well, idiots if they have anything to do with the organization symbols of which they wear, they are idiots. No big deal.

But whichever year, the images are disturbing, to say the least.

Why?

The ray of hope is that the rainbow is sorted

As in their arrogant attitude even though they've never been anywhere, never done anything in their life.

The man is simply projecting his sexual insecurities onto blacks.

Maybe, maybe not, are you an expert?

What is there to challenge or even discuss?

Believe that race is important is deeply rooted in many cultures. You cannot dismiss it with some pseudo-psychological babble.

You're lying again: the ONR organised the march and picked the route out.

They have nothing to do with attacks on the Russian Embassy and torching some structure. After all only one from 70 arrested by the police can be connected to ONR.

don't worry about harry he dosn't know what is going on in poland as he does not speak or read the languag

If he knows what going on and speak the language than he is very heavily biased.
