Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best?

Dr. Artur Bodnar from the Helsinki Human Rights Foundation

'We should be more open towards immigrants in our own interests, because we started out with workers and people who, in our aging society would pay taxes to support pensions and other social goals. It is for our benefit that Poland is a country where it is easy for immigrants to assimilate into our society, fit into our culture, learn the language, and not establish and live in minority ghettos. There are also many of such, for example, from the former Soviet Union, who are eager and willing to move to Poland and live here. This also applies to the Vietnamese and Chinese, who somehow are able to find their place in our fairly homogeneous social structure.'

Love / 'Seks po polsku' - the sex lives of Poles: [45]

The Sexuality of Poles

Today we will look into the bedroom of the Poles. And not just the bedroom. Our sexual fantasies are becoming bolder, more persuasively put them into being and we are more satisfied with our sex lives - a theory confirmed by further reports analyze survey sexologists. More, perhaps not much more, but you can learn by observing a rapidly growing market for shopping and entertainment with the word "sex" in its name.

Magda, visits the swingers club regularly. Gladly poses for photos in front of the camera yet doesn't wish to talk openly about her sexual desires. Does the growing interest in the clubs for swingers, or who like sex in a group, may indicate a sexual revolution?

Just 20 years ago, the standard technique was missionary, face to face. Currently it turns out that about 40 percent of people have oral sex. -Says sexualogist Andrzej Sękowski

Paul - operating one of these clubs in Warsaw - says that this place is a success, and that he approves of this revolutionary approach to sex which is taking place.

- The subject becomes fashionable and popular by the fact that people are talking about sex openly expressing themselves and not because it's strange and incomprehensible - he says.

News / Controversial exhibition of Hitler's Art in Szczecin, Poland [14]

Penn Boy, to be fair mate, you can't complain at german soldiers being in camps during the war :)

That was more of a joke :) There were reports of beatings even killings by their Nazi officers. However they started the war and did much worse things themselves, so i guess they deserved it.

Holocaust museum in USA, where there weren't even camps...

''About 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps,"

'By the summer of 1945, there were 425,000 German prisoners living in 700 camps throughout the United States'

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

The number of Ukrainian students have increased 3-fold and today they constitute the biggest minority at Polish unis.

As the article states, because Polish universities allow gaining work experience at European universities and gaining a diploma which is recognized not just in Poland all over the EU.

Language / How similar are Polish and Romanian languages? [75]

Romanians used to speak Serbian language until 150 years ago, it's not Polish, it's Serbian, those Serbian words were replaced
by the French-Italian-Latin words.
Even the genetic map putts Serbs, Romanians close, and our nations are being considered as brother nations, we never went
to war against each others in our whole history.

'In his work De Bellis, Procopius portrays the Slavs as unusually tall and strong, with a tan complexion and reddish-blonde hair, living a rugged and primitive life.

The early Slavic expansion began in the 5th century, and by the 6th century, the groups that would become the West, East and South Slavic groups had probably become geographically separated. The West Slavs came in contact with Germanic peoples (Goths) while the South Slavs mixed with Greeks and Thracians.'

PennBoy:
Amandha Fox, who was born in Gdynia, and in Italy

Wow, she was born in both places? I can't even do that.

And has made a career as a pûrn actress in Italy

Not surprising considering Polish pûrnstars live everywhere. There are A LOT of them.

No there really is not. Poland looks pale in comparison to the Czech Rep., Hungary, or Russia.

UK, Ireland / Irish Census and number of Polish [46]

read-the-hig hlights-of-the-csos-latest-report-3066035

'The fastest growing groups were Romanians (up 110pc), Indians (up 91pc), Polish (up 83pc), Lithuanians (up 40pc) and Latvians (up 43pc).'
'A question on foreign languages was asked for the first time in census 2011. The results show that over half a million (514,068) Irish residents spoke a foreign language at home and that, unsurprisingly, Polish was by far the most common, followed by French, Lithuanian and German.' But it didn't say how many Poles there are! I've had a few friends from back in Poland who lived in Ireland (Cork) 2 went back home 1 is still there.

News / Polish pornstar (Amandha Fox) running for mayor in Italy [6]

The 27-year-old Polish pûrn star Amandha Fox, who lived several years in Milan, is currently running in the elections for mayor of Taranto - inform the Italian media. Her biggest rival is another pûrn actress - Luana Borgia. Both the campaigners will offer their voters pole dancing. - Let them see the real me - declares the Pole.

Amandha Fox, who was born in Gdynia, and in Italy has made a career as a pûrn actress, dreams of following in the footsteps of her famous girlfriend from the same profession - Cicciolina, who in 1987 on behalf of the Radical Party was the first pûrn star in history elected to parliament.

The Polish woman dreams of a political career, and - as reported by the Italian daily "Il Tempo" - was launched in the election for mayor of Taranto, a city in southern Italy, which is an important commercial port and main base of the Italian Navy.

In 2006, the city has affected one of the biggest financial crises in the history of Italian municipalities - with debts of 637 million euros municipality declared bankruptcy, and then-mayor jailed for fraud and forgery.

"Taranto Sex" and striptease

Fox's slogan is: "Taranto, wake up." The Pole criticizes the current incompetent mayor Ippazio Stefano. - I represent the change in the city - said the newspaper "Nuovo Quotidiano di Puglia".

The political manifesto declares Fox's intentions "Sales of all polluting industrial giants and land belonging to the Italian Navy to clean up the city". In an interview with the newspaper she pays particular attention to the issue of employment, to be solved through the development of tourism. - Creating appropriate opportunities for development of tourism for the elite by building a mini-casinos and hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues such as nightclubs. Here is my recipe for success - calculated.

But the idea is to create a flagship international event, "Taranto [Taranto Italian - ed] Sex", which would be held twice a year, spring and autumn. - Of course - emphasizes the pûrn actress known for her cult in some quarters the production of "Emotions" - all I can do with my acquaintances in the world of Italian business.

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

Amen brother.

Only us white fools give others minority status, when we only represent 8% of the overall global population!

We are the minority!

I'm not a white supremacist, but I do think white people are the best looking, (everyone wants a white girl) and mixing will ruin everything. We'd have no more blue, green eyes, or blond, red hair, fair skin. They say diversity is good, exactly, if we all mix it wont be diverse we'd be the same, boring.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

Caucasian, Negroid, Mongoloid

I think these classifications are pseudo-science.

In the old days, even Nazi Germany, had human skull shape (mainly the length and width) as it's main physical characteristic to look at. They were classifying people like Arabs, Afghans, Moroccans as white, which was absurd. People with no European ancestry, and who didn't share any of the other European features. Everyone from Spain, through Germany and Poland, to Russia has different skull shapes. Today we have DNA which makes thinks more simple.

News / "Shale Gas Revolution" will make Poland a Leading Country in Europe! [202]

"Shale Gas Revolution" will make Poland a Leading Country in Europe!

Shale gas euphoria comes to an end. 'Poland's recoverable shale gas reserves are probably as much as 768 billion cubic meters, according to the Polish Geological Institute.

The deposits are enough to cover as many as 65 years of demand and are equal to as much as 200 years of the country's production, Deputy Environment Minister Piotr Wozniak said today in Warsaw at a presentation of the institute's data. "These estimates would make Poland Europe's third-largest holder of gas reserves," he said.

The minimum estimate is 346 billion cubic meters and is based on an analysis by the institute of 39 wells drilled in Poland from the 1950s to the 1980s. Reserves may be as much as 1.9 trillion cubic meters assuming maximum productivity, the study shows.

The Polish estimates are less than a forecast last year by the U.S. Department of Energy that the country had as much as 5.2 trillion cubic meters of shale gas. '

News / IS Poland prepared for what is coming during the Euro 2012? [10]

The Danes do not want to travel to the Ukraine to support their players and their national team, which will play at Euro 2012 in Lviv and Kharkiv, they bought for just under half of the 18 thousand tickets available to them - said the Danish Football Association (DBU).

To Lviv for the match against Portugal on June 13, 3361 fans are going, and forthe meeting with Germany on June 17, 3456. The least willing are for the Netherlands - Denmark match, where Morten Olsen's pupils will start the fight for the European championship on June 9th. To Kharkiv which lays over a thousand kilometers from the Polish border only 1761 people are planning a trip, of which only 576 are fans, and the rest are sponsors and partners to DBU.

It's not exactly Poland

It is the distance from Poland, according to Lars Berendt of DBU, that is the reason for the reluctance to go to "the distant Ukraine."

- Greater interest in Lviv is certainly due to the proximity of the city to the Polish border. There, most people choose to go in organized groups by bus. The match in Kharkiv and is associated with enormous difficulties of transport and the high prices of accommodation. According to our estimates, Ukraine is a mental barrier for the Danes - Berendt said.

Thus began the relationship work, and has partnered with one of the travel agents, who gave part of their pool tickets to be sold in packets of interest.

News / American soldiers beat up in Torun, Łódź [141]

In Poland as in any country, there are neighborhoods where one can get attacked just for not being from there or looking wrong at somebody. My cousin back in Stalowa Wola noticed that a group of skinheads were walking by (drunk) and one was saying 'man I really feel like kicking someones ass right now' he spotted a guy across the street, who was also a skinhead, ran over there and beat him up. Those people are social degenerates.
