Love / Valentines Day & Polish men [130]


Where's the hatred? That he thought Jews had a day to celebrate Love. Man, they are so evil, those Jews, celebrating love like they do.

Should be
Patek Philippe made their first wrist-watch in 1868.

The first wrist watch was by Breguet. First Chronograpgh by a Frenchman or arguably by a Brit as was the repeater. Split second hand - French. Perpetual calender on a wrist watch was in the 20th Century - Patek was long dead.

Their swiss watches are in another class though.

Of course they invented the helicopter. And then promptly fitted it with an ejector seat.

You will find IBM5100 is credited as the first consumer computer before apple existed, also the first to call one a PC.

This is dirty blonde by UK standards: I'm not sure if her eyes are blue or grey, mind.

Christians will use the parable of the wedding banquet in Luke 14 to claim they are inheritors also. But without the need for Mosaic law due to the sacrifice of rabbi Jesus.

Hard to mention the bible without mentioning Jews...they got all the starring roles.

No it is more I abhor vacuous statements much like everything you post here. I like America's free speech as it makes it easier to spot the simpletons.

When I worked in Mental Health I was told psychotic's could only communicate from within a dreamlike state using symbolism. The use of 'psychodelic' drugs can also mimic this state. Though anyone who claims to have deciphered St. John's work in Revelations in modern times needs his head checked. It must have been great entertainment way back when and given its hearers much to muse over.

News / Poland fines singer for bashing Bible [159]

There's plenty of reasons one can give not to believe the bible as literal truth, but being drunk and stoned doesn't make the many writers of the books that 'make up' the bible, or anyone else, a liar. I'm never so honest as when I am drunk. Only a very childish mind could take the most influential literature there has ever been as dismiss it with such a crass argument as to why it is unbelievable.

Life / Fat People in Poland? [161]


It'll only take a disaster for it to start up again, like ozone depletion. GM foods are making us taller, bigger and less resistant, and as males have children later in life there is more scope for mutation. It would be good if like the French appreciation of good food is taught at primary school level. A bit cruel, but as fatties are seen as ugly they'll be less likly to reproduce...they can console themselves with a supersized meal.

Here's a charity an old friend is involved in, humanitarni.pl, ou'll see that some children do not receive a square meal.

adjective or verb?

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]


I'll use an example to expand on my post #472 regarding the subjective and contextual use of Central and Eastern:

John says "F'ing East Europeans, nicking our jobs!"
Jane says "Ohh, Central Europe, such exquisite landscapes!"

In these cases I know Poland is included in both terms.

It isn't objective but relational.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]


That has nothing to do with the point I was making on racism not being the motivation of an elite education...nor is it a logical assumption.

I'll rephrase due to a weird mod. It is logical to assume that schools and universities raison d'etre is to nuture and encourage intelligence and capability and are elitist regarding these aspects of a person.

Given what the report on post#162 has to say about discrimination of even Asylum granted Chechnyians in the work place, I can't see why anyone from developing countries would want to stay there except for a foot-in to the rest of the EU. Why are they interested in Poland? What's it got? Every Pole who has mentioned a reason for leaving to come to UK says there's nothing but family, if that.

All your stories are from the whingy self-pitying Express/Daily mail group. Have you anything of your own where their is a denial of your right to pride, as you can only find a few stories that make the newspapers for being bizarre and written for whingers. Only looked at two first one the flag was blocking the rear view from the car there is nothing illegal about displaying the st george cross, second the job was to encourage minorities to take an interest in the local environment where the ethnicity was 97% White English, frankly I'm please that a foreigner would take an interest in our environment and landscape. Thought the Independent may be interesting but was irrelevant.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]


Que? I was pointing out that the lateral and medial contexts of Eastern and Central are used for contrast depending on the situation being described and the two abstract classes aren't mutually exclusive. Think of Venn diagrams if that makes it any easier for you.

Barney cleverly moved the goal posts(or context) on me, and then implied that classifications are also divisive. I then played on the idea of longitude and latitude lines. How on earth you thought my response to barney meant you hate Eastern Europeans is something you need to figure out for yourself, at least not with my help.

You didn't understand my earlier post on you wouldn't of written your last one which is easily dismissed by looking at the context in which Der Spigiel published its article.

Yes...well...There's a fine line between lunacy and its contrast. Whether it runs horizontally or vertically, from a global perspective it's circular, eventually.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

16 pages of this. It must have been answered somewhere and then resurrected by a fool or a troll.
East is to the right of Germany. When in the UK there is talk of Eastern Europe, Poland is included. It contrasts with Western Europe.

There is also a central Europe which has Germany, Poland etc. It contrasts with the surrounding areas as the periphery. Like a doughnut Central Europe is the hole.

That's all there is to it.
Anyone who says it is not either East or central is a lunatic. Anyone who says it can be only one or the other is simple minded. No offense meant.

The OP should be POLAND: EASTERN AND CENTRAL European country. (As a statement)
But then there would be little else to be said.
