Off-Topic / The "Anglicization" of Europe [132]

When I see POLICE on the shields of the Chinese cops, I know English is winning. When I see English at the airports almost everywhere, I know English is winning.

In Poland, there are only two kinds of signs in the malls: English and very few Polish. From those signs I wouldn't even know that I left the US.

If nobody cares, why did you even mention it and, effectively, call me a liar?
I will settle for two. It should be effortless to you.

She had to do what? If you want to comment, quote enough, not three words.


That lady saw my total desperation and was super nice to me, for which I was more than grateful then and I am still grateful now.

No, I didn't switch to English because I wanted to be a wiseguy. I did it because I was at the end of my rope.

I am all for friendship. My friends go home when we are done. They never stay and never are on my welfare.

You are deliberately ignoring the fact that when I am speaking English in Bulgaria or Poland, for example, the advantage is mine. Why should I give it up?

I was at the railroad station in Gdansk trying to buy a ticket. She was behind a glass window and the noise level was typical. I couldn't figure out what she was saying. Then, I switched to English and everything went fine because she had to slow down and use simple words.

No, I didn't go to Poland to discuss the concept of infinity and the sense of life with the locals.

That's why I never go to the Third World sh*tholes. Nothing to see there and too many Ph.D's we so desperately need here.

At home, in the US, I select only white, American-born, American-educated 40+ male doctors. Also, no black male nurses will ever get close to me. To them, I am just a white Obama-hating racist who lived too long.

Translation: This didn't happen to Latin or French.


You must be doing this high brow crap to p*ss some of us off. "Ineluctable"? How about inevitable? Or unavoidable? I lived in the US for 52 years and nobody ever used "ineluctable" in my presence. Not even once.


Intended by whom? Who are those who "originally intended"? Guess what: nobody intended nothing.


Are you smoking something illegal? Life has no subtle operations. In fact, life is f*cking blunt. Like: I love you. I hate you. You are fired. I have cancer. My wife left me. He died. I am broke.

"I love you. Would you marry me?" You make this more subtle and she will likely say, f*ck you.

Like: After thorough analysis, having considered all the positives and the negatives, I am inclined to view you as a suitable person to be my spouse for a period not yet determined.

That would be your version, Lyzko.

Sounds great - almost glamorous - except for that liver he will need soon and the syphilis - if he is lucky - he will get from one of those "young beautiful women".

The number one problem with men is that they all think they are special and gifts from God. To compound it, that 50-inch beer belly looks 35-inch to them even if the tape says 50.

...or from 500 feet above. Every town looks fantastic from that elevation until you get to the ground level and see the stores that are closed or closing. Or get robbed, raped, or both - if you are attractive enough.

History / Why Poles love Russia [105]

For three reasons: (1) the process is slow, (2) people are too stupid to predict the long-term consequences, and (3) they have no choice.
When they finally wise up, it's too late as in the US and Western Europe.
Did I mention that I love that wall in Israel and the guys with rifles in the towers?

The best way to survive in the US is to live in the American cities and avoid the African ones. If you do that you will be just as safe - most of the time. That is why the racist police is so important in spotting the outsiders who don't belong in the white areas. In the African cities, it's the locals that do the spotting and administer justice without the benefit of having a lawyer.

Polish people should learn to see the inner beauty in the black shooters, looters, and the rapists. The memories of slavery tend to make good boys do unkind things....

You mean that oasis of tolerance of conservative views, where going for a walk after 9 is close to suicidal, and where Michelle made such an impression at the HR that they promptly gave her a job to be a community something for close to what the US President was making at the time, which had nothing to do with her leftist mulatto husband or her skin pigment.

Quoting from cnsnews.com

In 2005, when Obama began serving in the U.S. Senate (and his daughters turned 4 and 7), he and his wife were earning a combined annual income of $479,062. Barack Obama was paid a salary of $162,100 by the U.S. taxpayers, and Michelle Obama was paid $316,962 to handle community affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center.

I could have done that community crap for half, but, as a white guy, I clearly didn't qualify. So much for the white privilege....

Is it just me, but the very word "community" makes me want to barf.

A totally brilliant comment. And the cops who typically are married with kids know it.
On my island, my cops would be required to shoot to kill after only one "put the gun down". Don't speak no english? Tough sh*t. Die.

USA, Canada / Poles Living in the Chicago Area [302]


No, nobody can see it's not a gun when it's dark. I mean time of day, not his pigment.


No, he is not. In Chicago, when it's dark and the guy is black, you assume that the black object he is holding is a gun, not a bible. Your survival rate will be much higher if you do this, rather than play stupid.

Racist = a person who knows from the FBI statistics that blacks' murder rate is 17 times higher than the whites'. Would you like me to post it?

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [227]


I am not calling anything. They, the brainless useful idiots do. THEY want socialism.
We already have communism light when two companies control what 90% of the useful idiots know and "think" - the first step toward the total 1984-style mental enslavement.

If you want to quibble about who owns what, it will be a waste of time. Today's version of communism will be more subtle. Just as with suppression of free speech. Yesterday's gulags are now shunning and unemployment for saying wrong things. Just as effective and you, Euros, are leading the process with one critical extra element - criminal charges and prison for unapproved speech. Canada, a Euro type tumor, is the same way with their pronouns and the "Holocaust deniers".

Communism is inevitable when robots are the only ones employed. 15 bucks per hour and guaranteed income are the first steps toward it.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [227]


You couldn't be more wrong.
"Gimme what I need or want" is in the human nature. Why do you think socialism is now as popular in the US as Obama's free phones used to? Free college, free medical care, free internet - those are the precursors to free housing, food and everything else. Just don't tell the idiots that it will they who is going to pay for that utopia and you are in. Or tell them that the invoice will be due much much later.

Thus is how you get the votes - by appealing to the little commies in the morons' brainless heads.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [227]


That's exactly my point. Gorbachev, the chief commie, was a reformer and had enough wisdom to politically decapitate the lesser ones like Honecker. There was a session in October of 1989 when somebody made a motion to remove Honecker. That day, Honecker voted with the majority to remove himself. No shots fired.

Do you know that the re-election rate in the US Congress is 96% vs the 99% in the communist countries? Unbelievable.

From Wikipedia:

After three hours the Politburo voted to remove Honecker. In accordance with longstanding practice, Honecker voted for his own removal.

Back to my point. Even communists were capable of seeing the light. The Western "democracies" are not.

Also, whatever damage the commies did, was the type that can be undone. The damage the Western demo-morons are inflicting on Europe and the US is not repairable.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [227]

In one simple sentence: The communist countries became more free after 1989 because of the internal pressure on the communists to give up power and reform. And give up they did. Even Honecker voted to remove himself from his position as the secretary of the party. No bullets, no blood, no Berlin wall - with Gorbachev saying " do what you want". Amazing.

The Western "democracies", on the other hand, are becoming less free and more 1984-ish. Their latest tool: one smelly migrant is offended, therefore, all of you have to shut up or face the judge.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [227]


Since you mentioned East Germany, I read about Krenz and Honecker and was amazed how the latter had lost Gorbachev's support and been removed from power.

I also realized that I have even more respect for the communists, the USSR and, now, Russia, and so much less for the Western "democracies" for one gigantic and indisputable reason: The Communists of Eastern Europe and the USSR were actually capable of reforms for the better. F*cking amazing.

The West, on the other hand,...With a knife on their throats, ten seconds before having it slashed, they will still smile and ask for more.
