Language / Learning Polish, good for beginners? [29]

I have decided to take the plunge and actually start learning this wonderful language. Can anyone suggest any books which will help me get started. My ability to grasp languages (other than English) is virtually non-existant (I learnt French for some 9 years but can barely speak a word), so something very basic for beginners would be ideal.

Thanks in advance.

You could also try the language section of this Forum :)

That might be a good idea... thanks

Do you want to talk about it? :P

What do you want to know?

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

incubus you are living in MY country, if you dont like it go back to your ex soviet bloc, eastern european, concrete jungle.

Britain has changed (Labour government/expansion of the EU/global economy). Unfortunately for you, this was voted for by the British electorate. If you don't like YOUR country then you should take your own and advice and leave.

You mean one will simply hold on to the other one for 12 rounds and claim they should have won the fight?

Ironic how the British are known for being prudes! Still, unacceptable behaviour imo.

Imagine their reaction to 2,000,000 million of us coming there to work, of which 100,000 get drunk sell drugs and fight every weekend!

It is this very fact which makes people like Lukasz look like the ignorant bigots they are.

Unfortunately it wasnt a minority.

So it was the majority? The majority of 120,000 Rangers fans? So some 60,000 Rangers fans rioted?

Whatever you say love...

I know many on this site will be totally lost by this logic but I know at least a few will understand me 100%.

I understand. It's just not for me.

I disagree. A group of 50 or more jumping on one man has nothing to do with the ancient laws of combat.

With all due respect, that's not really how it works these days. Most 'firms' arrange meets, away from the average football fan and the ever more watchful eye of the police. It's essentially two sets of hooligans agreeing to a scrap. As long as innocents aren't involved then I don't really care...

To suggest that this is some sort of therepeutic exercise for them is ridiculous. This what they are about and there is nothing romantic about it.

I think it is just that (therepeutic) although I agree there is nothing romantic about it (unless your name is Carlton Leach, Cass Pennant or Bill Gardner)

Life / Why many funny stories about Polish People in Europe? [38]

leave Grzegorz alone troll

I'll say it again.

Stop stalking me. I thought blocking your abusive private messages would be enough! Obviously not.

I'll happily agree never to respond to one of your posts (no matter how retarded or rascist) if you agree to do likewise. Deal?

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]

it's not racist as polish is not a race.

Just to clarify...

dictionary.com

race:

1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.
2. a population so related.
3. Anthropology. a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use.

b. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups.

c. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans.

4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.
5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.

So yes, it could be deemed as rascist. But like with most of these examples, it very much depends on the context in which it is used.

People like noimmigration do need to be challenged

You wont change his opinion (if indeed it actually is).

If you went into pretty much any local pub in Britain today, you will encounter lots of "noimmigrations". Just because he is the minority on here, doesn't mean there aren't loads like him.

Most of their arguments are as badly constructed as his.

a badly worded topic on a web-forum isn't the best way to discuss it rationally.

It's this posting style which gets the biggest reaction. It's internet fishing at its best/worst...... Sit back and wait for the indignant replies to roll in.

It's a monster which doesn't need feeding. Best to swim past the bait without biting... the fisherman will soon find a new pond when he realises he has exhausted his supply of fish.

UK, Ireland / Immigration and Identity: how to keep Polish identity when living in UK. [30]

Poles are the same ethnic group as Brits

What the hell are you talking about? Bjesus. Most Brits don't share the same ethnicity - 'White' is not an ethnic group!

there are no hard and fast answers to your questions, Poles are not like certain other minorities from other countries that have landed on our shores,

Such as? Come on Shel, let's have some stereotypes. 'Pakis' are all benefit scrounging Jihadists? Somalis are all knife wielding maniacs?

History / Polish weapons and militaria - got any? [153]

I am very interested in gen. Anders plan to unite the entire Polish Army from Italy and Germany as one force to be perpared for striking back into Poland against USSR

Interesting. It would have been a blood bath though.

History / Polish weapons and militaria - got any? [153]

Anders is recorded as telling the US ambassador in London that he anticipated that 95% of Poles in Poland would rise up against the Soviet army occupying Poland to support his Polish army in the liberation of Poland.

That maybe, but if Stalin so much as suspected this, he would have turnesd Poland in to a grave-yard before any such uprising could occur.

Thanks Sjam

That is all very interesting.

Stalin had not yet got the atomic bomb so was not ever going to take any overt military action that would really upset his allies the USA and UK.

I honestly don't think he cared. Britain and the USA never used the threat of the Atom bomb in the way that they could have. Having said that, it wasn't yet a bargaining tool at Tehran or Yalta. Churchill considered imposing the Allied will on Stalin, but this would not have been possible with the support of the USA who had conflicting objectives, which they viewed as more important.

Anders was a man to be admired, but this would have been suicide imo.
