Life / The Polish school? What's it like. [26]

school is a place the make dates, stock up on drugs and smash up expensive sports cars with the educational aspect a definite also-ran. That's in good neighbourhoods. In bad ones it is armed security guards and metal detectors designed to weed out knives and guns.

Wow, I've never heard about it in my city. I went to gymnasium with bad reputation, but never saw security or guns. Bad boys sometimes after school went to nearby park to smoke ciggaretts and take drugs, but still, they were rather 'discovering new worlds' than taking hard drugs.

News / Polish Foreign Ministry 'prepared' for new Wikileaks material [100]

a portal should be shut down and the web operator duly prosecuted

Are you serious?

The job of the media is not to protect power from embarrassment. If American spies are breaking United Nations rules by seeking the DNA biometrics of the UN director general, he is entitled to hear of it. British voters should know what Afghan leaders thought of British troops. American (and British) taxpayers might question, too, how most of the billions of dollars going in aid to Afghanistan simply exits the country at Kabul airport.[Simon Jenkins, guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/nov/28/us-embassy-cables-wikileaks]

History / A comparative paper: comparing Polish border policies with American border policies [5]

Hi,
You can use Wikipedia indirectly. On the bottom of almost each wiki's article are sections "References", "Futher reading" and "see also" - inestimable source. Try for example History of Poland or Territorial changes of Poland.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Poland
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_changes_of_Poland

If you are ambitious and have enough time I recommend the book "God's Playground" by Norman Davies.
