Life / Which nations do Poles like the most / the least? [150]

at to the France

France was the most poplar country in 90s ...

after some political events popularity of France decreased ... but they are still very close to the top. We just like their culture, strong France is in our business and Sarko seams to try to strenghten our relationships ...

Japan was heping for Poles who retreated form Syberia (Russians were sending us there)

During WWII Japan ambasy (even they were German alies) was helping for Polish Home Army fighting against Germans ...

Having to bribe people in the medical industry

yes it is problem ...

Having to bribe driving test examiners

you dont have to ... I think that 99% pass without bribe ... and I think that last time it isnt so easy as it was in 90s.

Foreigners requiring a permit to buy property

I think you can buy flat ... there is porblem with land ... in my opinion it is really good, when we will be richer we will give permition.

the whole stamping documents procedure

It seams that it will change

Property register

costs of property register are lower than in USA and most of EU countries.

having to have car lights on 24/7 all year round

it is safer

Life / Gypsies or Roma: European and Polish attitudes towards [87]

as well as I know we have good policy towards gipsies, we spend a lot of money to try to educate them and include them into society, some of them successfully ended university, what is more we havent created gettos for them like Czech rep, Slovakia or other southern Europeans states so we try to include them into society, last time we started to use EU funds in this case and we have small successes. I think that our way is better than Czech or Romanian, maybe we can do it our way because there is only 12 000 - 50 000 of Gipsies in Poland, and in Romania there is 550 000 - 2 000 000 gipsies in Czech rep there is 200 000 gipsies closed in ghettos. I know that there is big Gipsy society in western Europe but I dont know the details about them.

Ghetto in slovakia

as to attitude towards Gipsies ... I m not going to tell nice stories about Poles who love gipsies ... attitude is definitely negative, but a lot of people like their music or dancers and I think that art is place where they should try their chances.

as to Gipesies

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]

We are humans too and If our lives are in danger, we think how to save our own families, not how to help Jews.

even this fact there were a lot of people who helped.

as to Polish citizens 3 milions Polish jews were killed by Germans and 3 milions of Polish (other religion) citizens were kiled by Germans too it gives about 6 mln people killed.

as to names it is interedting why Germans are called nazist ... Russian Soviets...

Poland this time was real hell.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]

True but other EU countries are more ethnically diverse. Time will tell I suppose.

agree

that would be reported incidents which is probably very relevent given that a substantial percentage of poland's ethnic population probably doesnt speak the language very well and almost certainly doesnt want to go to the trouble of reporting attacks

agree ... as everywhere

but UK Holland the low countries sweeden and denmark help the most.

look on figures ... go on some jewish side and check which nation saved the bigest amout of jews during the war ... (UK wasnt under German nazi occpation but check figures of countries you mentioned)

.jalf the jews I meet are from or their parents from Poland I meet survivors . you have no idea what they went through.

so how they survived ... in German concetration camp ?? (average lenght of life 2 weeks) or were saved by Poles ? ask them how they survived ...

well, i absolutely agree with PAWEL M. i also think that polish antisemitism is one of the strongest stereotypes about poles. maybe it still exists among the generation of ww2 participants (for the reasons PAWEL M wrote about), but among people of my age (about 20) something as antisemitism doesnt exist.

100% true

at the end Americans and their point of view ... no comment. Now all Arabs are enemy, terrorist, wild people... who cares, we should just F*** them and their crazy ideas, all in all whole world hate them now (we are one of last nations who belive they have good intentions and it is mistake ...)

It is enougt to read who supported who in southern america in last 50 years, who was learning oficers of regimes how to torture people ... there is only one answer USA did it ... and they try to prove sth for somebody ... no comment

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]

yes yes ... but in all countries there are some racist and it is sure. But when we take for example small town where there no other nations/races, so the only posibility after coming some non -poles is that nothing is going to change or increase (single one accident is increase) .

We have in Poland (38 mln people) 100 racist accidents in whole year when we look in other EU countries stats it is nothing ...

increase

oh yes we have increase of rasist agresion, just because the number of people of other races sharply increase. If there wasnyt any black in town and now there are some, it is logical that inrease is only one posibility just because there wasnt any poeple with other coulour of skin before.

and thicreas can look enormous in few years by 400% from 25 accidents to 100 ...

as to numbers as well as I know we had last year about 100 (38 mln people country) of this accidents and in western european countries there were thousends

axt.org.uk/antisem/countries/poland/poland.htm

and this article look like old aniti Polish propaganda

it isnt funy that author writtes about Polish anti-semits beffore the war, and latter he writte about nazist (without any word about germans) and Deadh camps on Polish soil ... so I find this article not showing the truth. What and sentences like "of course some Poles helped jews" is just example, the fact is that Poles saved the bigest amout of jews even for that there was death penalty, isnt showed here.

""Polish death camp(s)" and "Polish concentration camp(s)" are misleading terms that have appeared in the media in reference to World War II German concentration camps located in German-occupied Poland involved in The Holocaust. Poland was occupied by the Nazis from 1939 to 1945. The Polish government had no administration or political influence over captured territories during this period."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_death_camp

as to the true

Watch "Europa Europa" of Agnieszka Holland (Polish Jewish origin)

and "The Pianist" of Polanski (Polish Jewish origin)

situation of jews before the war, during the war and after the war ...
