Would I?? When did I ever suggest such things? Practically every school in Ireland is run by the clergy btw in as much as they are under religious patronage, either Catholic or Church of Ireland (Anglican).

Well you should be. You'll never be accepted by the radical feminists with that kind of attitude.

I've uttered precisely seven words. Not really enough to judge somebody's understanding.


No dear. I was referring to your use of the expression 'hating on' which is a particularly hideous example of American English at its most inelegant. Civilised people use the verb 'to hate'.

News / The Political Circus of Poland [309]


Well now, to be fair, the pedestrian has the right of way when the little man is green and the car is supposed to yield, so if the car hits the pedestrian, it's the driver who is to blame. But I get your point, instead of just saying 'ooh how terrible' the government should do something to redesign a system that clearly doesn't work.

News / The Political Circus of Poland [309]


They are definitely very badly situated. Drivers have improved a lot in terms of stopping to let people across though. I still have a huge issue with the bizarre system of allowing pedestrians and motorists to share the crossing when the cars are on the filter light to turn right. It's absolute madness.

News / The Political Circus of Poland [309]

I agree that cyclists are often selfish, reckless and can cause a nuisance on the roads and pavements. A cyclist shouldn't cycle across a pedestrian crossing mainly because they can cause a danger to pedestrians. However, that does not change the fact that a motorist should always be able to stop in time to avoid hitting someone on the crossing. The driver was exceeding the speed limit without a doubt.

News / The Political Circus of Poland [309]

Apparently the cyclist is being blamed because he cycled his bike across the pedestrian crossing instead of dismounting and walking it across. No mention of the fact that the Minister was obviously speeding. Otherwise, how in the name of all that's normal was she unable to stop in time and avoid hitting him? There is never any justification for running over a person on a pedestrian crossing. You should always be watching and moderating your speed as you approach a crossing in case somebody suddenly darts across.

Will never happen. It's not in your nature to cooperate with each other. You're not a people for compromise. You hold grudges and have vengeful natures.

That would be you. You don't deal in facts, just hysteria.

Now - back to the subject of Somalis in Sweden. Amiga made false statements about rapes by immigrants, not Somalis in particular. I checked the stats and posted the correct information.

"most of the rapes in Sweden take place within the immigrant community itself and are overwhelmingly perpetrated by teenage boys against teenage girls."

but you don't like that so you pretend that it's lies whilst in fact the liar is you:



Btw those researchers were not researching immigrant crime. They were researching rape in Sweden. I've read the whole report. Very interesting. Have you read it? No, of course not. Too lazy and worried that it won't support your lies.

It is absolutely true to say that Sweden is one of the best countries to live in if you want a peaceful, prosperous and civilised life.

His ignorance is hilarious, isn't it? Especially addressing an Irish person. We invented emigration :))


Goodness me, you're very upset. My command of the English language is in the superlative class. It'll be the frosty Friday when you meet anybody with my level of eloquence, as I'm sure you'll know, having had the misfortune to live in America for so long.

But to return to our muttons as the French would say (I'm making an hilarious play on the phrase 'revenons à nos moutons'), was Amiga right?


I wouldn't agree with that statement. By scum, I assume you mean the government. Sweden is a far fairer, more peaceful and better run country to live in than the USA. Successive Swedish governments have demonstrated that they care very much about their country and its people.

In view of your concerns about what's happening in Sweden, I think you (and Amiga) should contact Kristina Sundquist, the academic who co-authored the research referred to by Amiga. Her contact details are:

Oh Novi ........ the fact you consider those things to be an example of non-conformity speaks volumes. However, you compiled the list so I'll honour my arrangement with you.

Was Amiga right? No.

I'll answer that when you tell me in what way your life history demonstrates that you're not the conformist that you accuse others of being.

Off-Topic / Best posters [886]


For fourteen years, every day, for forty minutes, from the age of four until eighteen, I took part in discussions with my thirty or so classmates on the subjects that you seem to have ignored all your life. You didn't have that privilege. Therefore you don't know how to engage in a discussion or debate on a moral question - which is what these issues are. More significantly, you are not interested in doing so. You have an agenda and you want to thrust it onto others and force them to agree with it. You are not interested in genuine debate or discussion. You frequently use that term 'to debate someone' but you don't actually know how.

Let me explain what debating is. To be able to say that you can debate, you must have experience of debating both sides of the argument. That's what you're trained to do in debating societies. You learn how to present an argument regardless of whether you agree with it or not. Then when you DO have something you want to convince people of, you know how to go about it. Your methods don't work because you show no genuine understanding of the topics you're trying to discuss. You're a child really Novi, trying to talk to an adult here.

That shows your level. He's fairly ignorant, not very well read and spouts a certain kind of rhetoric, without ever expressing an original thought, much like yourself.

Food / Polish Herb Search [7]


The problem sometimes is that some of the names become Americanized or the names are remembered incorrectly. The only thing I can think of is Klopsy/Klopsiki ie. meatballs.

Here is a list of commonly used herbs in Polish cooking with their English and Polish names:

In general if you want an authentic Polish feel to your dishes you can't go wrong with dill (koperek) and allspice berries (ziele angielskie).

It doesn't sound familiar. Could you describe the dishes? If we can identify the dishes we could tell you which herbs are commonly used in them.

Yes, we still love our cuppa :)) We actually drink more tea per person than Brits! We're the second biggest tea drinking nation in the world apparently while the UK comes in third.


Your plan is not likely to meet with much success. There were only five applications worldwide for asylum from Lesotho last year and only ten refugees accepted from Botswana.

There's no such thing as 'an Irish'. You can have 'the Irish' or 'an Irish person' or 'a Gael'.

Point me to the post where I said otherwise. I never even mentioned, let alone made any claims regarding the attitudes of Polish people to the subject of illegal immigration. Do please note the emphasis on illegal.


Dear Lord, what an illiterate sentence...... my experience of Poland is based on the years I've lived here. But once again, let me remind you, I never made any comment on Polish people's attitudes.


Well you can rest easy knowing that raped women are not protected in Poland. A fourteen year old girl is raped and her rapist has his conviction overturned because she didn't scream.


Yes indeed. If she screams her rapist might be convicted and the Polish courts wouldn't want that of course.

You'll also be very relieved to know about another 14 year old Polish girl, mentally handicapped, raped by her uncle who was refused an abortion.

Perhaps you should send your granddaughter to live in Poland which is such a great, safe environment for young girls.
