But Doug,is there much stuff out there that us Hendrix fans would want to hear?
Have you ever heard his early stuff?

I don't really know much about The Expeience Corp,except that is run by Jimi's adopted sister and his brother,for the benefit of the Hendrix family.

What have they been doing?

@Atch

I,my wife,my kids and most of my family have blue eyes,never thought much about it.
Why is it so important to some?

Doug,that is a weird post......how can you jump from Jimi Hendrix (a subject that I love),
To blue eyes? (A subject that is unimportant,in my opinion)?

@Rich Mazur

Dolno has a good point.You Yanks can bang on as much as you like about "The enrichment of Europe by Muslims",
Which has some truth in it.
But we all still sleep safer in our beds at night than you do.
Go figure.

Loving your posts tonight mate!

@Vlad1234

You could have left us alone?
Instead of murdering,raping and deporting Poles?
Russian bastards......worse than The Germans.....

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]


I can't say that I'm familiar with the Polish university system.
What I will say is that most of the better educated Poles I know here in The UK took "Sensible" and "Useful" courses.
And many of them topped that up with further Open University courses in The UK.
These people are not currently benefiting Poland,but from what they say about returning home,Poland may benefit eventually.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

Great post Lyzko!
The same is true here in The UK.
Higher education has become so watered down that unless you have a degree in a truly useful subject,it is next to worthless.
When I was a student,less than 10% of us went to university,I don't know the latest figures but it must be well over 30% now.

Result?
The jobs that used to be offered to A level students now need a minimum of a degree.....poorer jobs for graduates......and the poor A level students are no longer offered those jobs.....but they have a 3 year advantage and a no student debt advantage over their graduate friends.....

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]


Why do I get the feeling that I did not understand a word of that,despite the fact that it was in English?

On a serious note,I have noticed your posts have become a little more "Human" recently Rich.
And I applaud you for that.

History / MAP OF POLAND IN 1880'S [95]

The poster of the map clearly stated that the map was not a map of Poland because Poland did not exist at the time.

Off-Topic / American Jew Voice in Poland [93]

None of it makes sense.
Like the elderly German Jewish couple that were murdered and were true American patriots.

Off-Topic / American Jew Voice in Poland [93]

I agree that Jews are Caucasians,but HIndus are mainly Indian,nothing Caucasian there.
Or am I missing something?

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

Going by one of your previous posts on a different thread,I'm surprised you didn't blame The Jews......
Your anti semitism is now clear to me.
Maybe you think Jews hold too much power in Britain and America?
Is that why you hate us?

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

Just Google it.There is tons of data from reliable sources.

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

They would fail on human rights alone.

Agreed....all useless and toothless.

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

The Mongols invaded and ruled India,Pakistan and part of the middle east from the 13th century.
So yes,I believe there is a strong connection altough I don't really know the history myself.

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

How difficult is it to trace one's cultural genealogy?

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

I'm not sure about the accuracy of those DNA tests.
Your cultural background is probably more important than your DNA anyway.

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]


Yes,we are all mongrels to varying degrees,and probably better for that.
But genetics play an important part in history and don't you find it interesting to know your background?
At least as far back as it can be traced?
