Speaking of the ECHR, guess what country is in the top 3? That is, top 3 in terms of how many times their citizens complained to the European Court of Human Rights?
Ukraine!
Number 1 is Turkey (not sure what they are even doing in this organization), and number 2 is of course my beloved Russia.
Poland is number 7. The UK doesn't even appear on the list.
Considering that Poland has a population 4X smaller than Russia's, then on a per capita basis it seems Poles human rights are violated only slightly less often than those of Russians ;)
If you hope your antiBritish propaganda works on me
If anything I defended Britain here, saying you will find no overt evidence of anti-Polish discrimination by businesses.
Since when???
Google and ChatGPT are your friends!
However, because I love and respect you so very much, here it is:
1.Equality Act 2010: This law prohibits discrimination on the basis of several "protected characteristics," including race and nationality. The part of the sign targeting "Poles" would amount to racial and national origin discrimination, which is illegal in providing services, including in public spaces. Discrimination against people based on their nationality or ethnicity is considered unlawful in the UK.
2.The Race Relations Act 1976 (now largely absorbed into the Equality Act): It previously governed racial discrimination and would have similarly made this practice illegal.
3.European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) (incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998): The anti-Polish sign would violate principles of the ECHR, particularly Article 14, which prohibits discrimination on grounds such as race, ethnicity, or nationality.
So... at least since 1976 you can't have a sign that says "NO POLES".
Please direct us to all the 1,000 pages on this forum where Brits are complaining about Poles
Are you purposefully being thick? That's like 25% of this forum.
am searching the net for info on rental signs like NO IRISH NO DOGS addressed at Polish migrants
Why?
First, it's illegal. It violates the European Convention on Human Rights, and probably many UK laws.
Times have changed.
In the time period when you could see "No Irish" signs, it was not illegal.
I think even in Myanmar, today, you can't put up a sign saying "No Poles".
So, you won't find what you are searching for. Also, again, why are you searching for this? Is this forum not enough, where you can find probably 1,000 pages of Brits complaining about Poles in their country?
Who needs signs when there is a whole ocean of hatred on the internet?
The "death factor" is what makes you feel so alive.
It's the same when I do cave or wreck dives.
Being in that environment, means controlling your emotions completely. It means that every action is deliberate, and everything is informed by concerns of safety for your companions.
Short of going to Ukraine, and experiencing the trenches, this is the closest one can come close to the feeling of being alive that the soldiers get.
Many of those crazy motherf*ckers don't want the war to end, because it will mean the end of their "pleasure".
It's my posting while doing chores that's at fault
I know, I'm just a stupid troll.
It's not to me tbh. To me it's the commitment that matters
It certainly "aids" in being committed, when you realize that it's not just a stamp in your passport - but a potential claim to half your property and savings.
People will try harder to save something, when there are strings attached. Also, everybody wavers now and again - and for some people it's helpful that they gave a vow.
Kind of like a doctor or a solider in a moment of crisis, may be guided by their oath. When there's too much going on, and too many factors to consider - the remembrance of a vow may act as some rudimentary compass.
It certainly seems so, but this time he chose the wrong target!
That being said, it was a little annoying to read this from the Pablo Escobar of beavers:
"We Germans have a better way of protecting the country's levees..."
He just simply could not avoid putting things in such terms, could he? Why can't the focus of the conversation remain simply on beavers, without introducing subtle digs at Poland's backwardness?
If you have good advice on what to do with beavers - say it - but don't tell me how everything in Germany is done much better. Am I wrong?
And my cousins went into a relationship after both of them having different partners
Is it normal in Poland for cousins to enter relationships? In some countries it may be considered strange, or even taboo.
On the other hand, I see no problem in two male cousins dating for example. As long as it's just dating, and not marriage (marriage is a holy institution). Because you are gay, you cannot make kids anyway, and this means that inbreeding need not be a serious concern.
Nobody is hurt, except grandma who might have a heart attack.
I have written on this forum in the past, quite extensively, about relations between beavers and Poles.
Videos on YouTube indicated a certain friendliness (linked below), however recent news I am reading from Poland suggests that things have taken a significant turn for the worse.
Pan Donald Tusk has declared a war on beavers - no less.
Quoting from Politico:
"Sometimes you have to choose between love for animals and the safety of cities, villages and the stability of dikes," Tusk said, adding that infrastructure must be defended from beavers and that the government will allow any action, within the law, against beavers to safeguard levees.
"Do whatever you have to do, I will defend these decisions. The dikes are an absolute priority today," Tusk said.
Ja pierdolę, what is this skurwysyn talking about? How about you do your job of properly investing in flood prevention, and do not blame the noble beaver? In what normal country does the prime minister attack beavers in the aftermath of a flood instead of his incompetent bureaucrats?
A reaction did not take long to follow. Bavarian expert, Gerard Schwab - known as the Pablo Escobar of beavers - has already said to Pan Tusk: "Hands off Poland's beavers!" In confirmation of what I argued above, he said the following:
"We Germans have a better way of protecting the country's levees, he added approvingly. "You just put mesh wire on the surface of the dike, a little bit of foliage and grass on top, so you can mow the dike and the animals can no longer dig in.
On the other hand, if they build a dike from scratch, they can make it out of gravel, preventing the animals from making holes, because as soon as they start digging the gravel comes down and there's no longer a hole."
Yes, Tusk, you stupid son of a goat - build better dams instead of blaming beavers who cannot speak up for themselves.
For now, that is all I had to say on the topic. I would like to hear what fellow forum members think about this scandal?
