UK, Ireland / Why Poles will never belong in England [283]

As if the national pride should be scuffed upon and as if it’s the greatest evil out there.

That's not an 'agenda' and I've, in all mymany years on this earth, never heard anyone propose that.

At that point, he himself does not define himself as Polish and no one any wiser.

Exactly - he is not Polish. Genes are irrelevant.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

I can assure you that we have (during 5 years of studying law in Poland ) all the knowledge about legal rhetoric .

You are not exactly exemplifying that here.

Have you read the report , yet? I can give you a link to english version :)

The original Polish version makes it quite clear. Poles and only Poles are to blame. No other country.

Exactly, variety a spice of life, that’s the first lesson a globetrotter should learn. Nothing wrong with taking pride in your roots or even with expressing one’s national pride once in a while as long as it’s not taken into extremes.

Nothing wrong with that unless you focus on it to the point beyong which it becaomes unhealthy.

The Globalist should concentrate more on teaching tolerance to push their agenda instead of taking away the one thing that defines each and every one of us

What 'agenda' is that?

Nothing wrong with that either, if the adapted homeland suits you.

Exactly. But can you call someone with Polish grandparents who doesn't speak a word of the language, has never visited Poland, has no interest in Polish life and culture and no real ties with the place in any way Polish?

If there was no any border, if there was total travel freedom to everywhere, would anyone be living there in that island England?

Yes. Probably far more than now.

never been to England

This much is self-evident.

Unless the Brits would like to compensate them in cash for the ages of abuse and thievery.

Or bill them for the roads, hospital, schools, universities that miraculously appeared during the years of British governance.

I just asked her a moment ago. She said she is more concerned about when Will's will make her a great-grandmother

You were lucky to catch her. When I called she'd popped out to Wetherspoons for a quick one before Corrie starts.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

Your comments are inappropriate and unfavorably oriented against Poland .

True, practical and neutral. Stop Moaning, Monia.

The fact remains that the report makes it quite clear what happened, doesn't blame anyone else except Poles and if it doesn't fit your mindset, so be it.

It seems that you are looking to shift the blame away from Poles at all costs and are using any 'argument whether true or false. Generally false. Better to face reality and move forward.

Besides if you’re such a Globalist who do you root for during the international match? If not for English the life of the Globalist is a sad life indeed.

Sad or filled with the variety of life. And free of preconceptions about people's motivations for settling elsewhere. For every migrant there is a different story.

Poles have this uncanny ability to adapt yet still hold on to their roots no matter where they are; Saturday school, dance clubs, youth organizations, native language media radio tv etc.

Some. Others after only one generation don't know how to say proszę or dziękuję.

they are not like "Nigerians" at all

Are Nigerians like "Nigerians"? It's a huge and varied country.

Perhaps you will have to settle for the dumbest post of the day award.

He can share it with Midas who thinks racism is something only black people do to whites!

To the Globalist, perhaps but most take pride of who they are.

Most immigrants are just interested in making a new life.

It’s a life changing decision only if you uproot, you don’t see many Poles seeking British passport

Wait and see - as of this year the first wave of migrants is eligible to apply.

The most it ever does is that it broadens our horizon.

And shows us that nationality is merely a false construct.

No most emigrate for economic reasons for a short term; at least that’s their plan in the beginning.

And still a life changing decision, no matter how long or gradual that change is.

I do not know why would anyone would want to belong and be part of a retarded society.

How would you know? Are you part of that society?

Traveling will never change what or who you are, if anything it might even strengthen your national feeling, nostalgia you see.

Not necessarily.

. It’s not like you can change your nationality at a whim

Do you know many people who emigrate 'at a whim'? For most people it is a life-changing decision.

No. Stop Moaning, it isn't. It is based on blame-shifting. This is normal for you, to come out with the most outrageous lies that fly in the face of all evidence.

I'd remind you that this report is from your own government. But you still resort to hysteria, lies and contradiction in order to shift the blame. Disgraceful.

Exactly the same as what it means to be Polish and why it's so special.

Looks like the EDL literacy classes are having an effect <shudders>

The BNP/EDL encourage their members to troll fora.

But the Germans and the English are the same?

No. The English are from a mix of backgrounds, and thaty mix is becoming richer all the time. The OP is just some racist loser.

Monia, you are the one who keeps saying the grass is blue, when it is clear for all to see that it isn't.

Exactly. Moania, in best PiS style, is trying to shift the blame onto somebody - anybody - who isn't Polish.

But the facts are clear. Poles were 100% at fault.

These are not "Polish" mistakes, these are the mistakes of the government's institutions.

The Polish government. Therefore Polish mistakes. Unless you're suggesting that the Polish government is made up of North Koreans.

UK, Ireland / Prices of Clothes in Poland and England [35]

But after Poland, i will go to England, and some friends from here (polish people) said to me to wait and buy in England, because there the prices of the same clothes are even better!

Nearly always yes. The UK is a more developed market - meaning many more shops, therefore much more competition between shops leading to more discounts and sales.

Also the Zloty is quite a strong currency right now, whereas the Pound is not.

I know a few Poles who shop for clothes in England, and whenever I fly from England to Poland, the plane is full of shopping. Flying from Poland to England it is not.

And Jeans, Shirts and Jackets?

Much cheaper.

History / Poland: Her heroes and her traitors [239]

Pol3The Interia news portal asked more than 10,000 Poles who they were proud of. Do the results surprise you?

Very. I'd have put Marie Curie and Lech Wałęsa much higher, Janusz Korczak up there with them, JP2 and Mickiewicz somewhere in the middle and ignored Małysz.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Easier to visit a lonely farmer and gun him down for whatever reason.

Certainly. But more likely to find gun crime in the mean streets.

Not that I want to disarm the police.

Likewise. It was good when they were all unarmed, but the presence of guns means some of the police at least have to be.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Why population is a factor?

A vast rural state with a population the size of Rzeszów is likely to have lower crime stats than in, for example, Miami.

Seems right wing gun nutters were right.

right with their fingers on the trigger of something lethal.

To each his own. I am not advocating compulsory arming of everybody.

And I'm not in favour of an outright ban. Hunters, police, and exceptional circumstances can justify it.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

How about individual states, old question. And we both know the answer, don't we?

I'm sure you aren't trying to compare, say, North Dakota with Poland. New York, Texas and California are the closest in population size, though still smaller. FL and NY together have about the same population as PL.

Would you agree to allow concealed carry, if ammo was as described above? And, say, traditional ammo restricted?

No. Proliferation is proliferation, without ifs and buts. I once lived in a bad area and considered (for a day or so) carrying a knife. I decided not to - the thought of using it was far worse than taking a different route home at night.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

They had about 8% of sympathisers. Most of those would vote on them because 'that's a lost vote

They didn't vote for Poland's only gun-advocating 'party'. Anyone flicking through that ridiculous 'Najwyszy Czas' magazine that they put out can see why.

'Crime was, by today's standards, remarkably low. Yet anyone could walk into one of numerous shops and buy a revolver.

But was there a correlation? What about other jurisdictions at the time where the crime figures or the gun laws varied? Most importantly, what other factors were at play?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

UPR, for one.

They hardly count as a political party - they have no deputies in parliament and get less than 4% of the vote (which means about 2% of the adult population of Poland voted for them) - not exactly a surging throng of pro-gun campaigners. Whether they use killing or 'non-killing' materiel, there is simply no popular movement on any scale for reducing gun control in Poland.

You have black market. And you have violent crime

So the harder to get them and the tougher the penalties for owning them the better. Rather than proliferation.

That's why no political party advocates reducing gun control and no significant campaign exists about it.
