History / What Was Poland like in the year 1988? [50]

Birds in a Cage

Nice one..................thanks

Meant to add............Can this be justified in any way though ? The removal of passports and the building of walls to restrict travel. It sounds like a social experiment gone wrong. I lived in Berlin during the 80's. To be honest looking accross the Berlin Wall it did not look that pretty. Turrets, machine guns, dogs on extended leads. All these facing inwards by the way, not outwards.

I'm not sure if I have quoted it exactly, but a little cage bird asks the older bird why he is crying when he's got things much better than outdoors. The older one replies: I was free and now I'm in a cage and that is why I am weeping.

can you explain this please ? are you ( or the bird) saying that he was happier in the cage ?

but they were held prisoner ................in thier own control (!) Basically you could draw similarities to prison life today. ie you have the basics. Somwhere warm, a bed, food, clothes. If you do not know any other way of life then you would be happy ( because you know nothing else). Surely though it is still a pittyfull and very basic and primitive existance.???

Love / Woman 23, man 47 years old. What do you think about ? [162]

I haven't dated any Polish women since I've lived here but I wouldn't be put off by an age difference, I'm 27 so the age difference probably is only going to be 10 years older or younger anyway

and obviously a preference for 1o years younger !!
