Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [236]

Novi, there are (often) lies, damned lies, and then there are stats. Never confuse mere facts with truth:-) @Tacitus, you didn't reply to my query regarding Germany's asylum and immigration policy in comparison with Sweden.

@Amiga, the point was that Novi called the poster by a name other than their own.

Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [236]

No, and you're a fine one to talk!

Clear enough. Even you got it in the end.

It's meaningFUL and is merely another way of saying that Sweden will eventually see the error of her ways, are you able to grasp simple eighth grade language?

I do not chew my cabbage twice, Novichok or Rich or whatever the heck your bloody handle is!! Can't you understand plain English, you, the big jingoistic Americanophile?

Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [236]

Sweden will be made aware of her responsibilities in.the fulness of time

It offends me as well, Mafketis, however PM Lofgren has yet to come up with a solution.

Child marriage was prevalent when society was more rural. This is therefore nothing new:-)

Since when is kindness a disorder? Re-read your St. Francis!

Yes, in Goteborg during the '8O's as a grad student.

If helping the needy and the downtrodden is "pathological", then you can't be a Christian!

The Swedish Model has been under considerable strain for some time now. Rather than being crushed under the weight of excessive gov't spending, I believe the challenge has been the lasting effects of Reaganism on struggling socialist democracies.

Szopen's Etude in E "La Tristesse" aka "Smutnosc" to me is the soul of Poland.

Perhaps, but although it's been a while since I was last in Poland, according to recent webcam footage, the old, drab architecture has changed considerably.

Life / Problems adjusting in Poland [43]

An arsenal of Polish though is certainly indispensable, with or without the Black Market:-)

Travel / Are Polish people as unfriendly as Slovaks? [84]

@MarieAntoinette, I fail to see your point.

Life / Problems adjusting in Poland [43]
