Perfect, Lazarus!

In such situations chess analogies are most fitting indeed. "Schachmatt!" above all LOL

Life / A warning to Poland: Germany's catastrophic immigration policy: 80-90% criminal manhunts are ARABS / foreigner [83]

As I've said time and time again, Germany, Sweden as well, is making many of the same mistakes
made here in the US. While we all realize Germany is desperately trying to overcome her WWII past
by bending over backwards to accomodate non-Germans, indeed, non-Caucasians, in their midst by
making nice to any and all from the Third World, sooner or later, this experiment, however well intentioned,
will fail.

By all accounts, it already has, only the government refuses to face facts because Merkellites are in denial....
again!

@Joker, I never intimated I'm a "convert" to Trumpism, heaven forbid
and may the sky fall in on me!!

However, I am becoming strained to the near breaking point of untrained
foreigners telling me where I can work and where I can live.

My German-born grandparents thought of nothing more than learning
to speak SOLELY the language of their adopted country twenty-four seven,
never as much as allowing a syllable of any language other than American English
to be spoken at the table. Sure, they enjoyed speaking German amongst their
close friends at home. On the street though, it remained English and only English
or risk their ire.

Where has that spirit of conformity gone?

Newsome would be terrible for the US, should he by some miracle ever get elected president!
Much as with that Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Newsome's policies are way too liberal for my
tastes.

While I respect the individual rights of trans students, office workers etc., I think that over the past
forty or so years, education has been woefully ignoring certain basic facts of American history in favor
of a frankly anti-European approach to our shared past, rather than giving if you will "equal time" to
both traditions. For example, certainly don't belittle or downplay the accomplishments of Mathew Henson,
however, don't ignore the contributions of Commodore Perry either:-)

News / France and Germany plan to flood Poland with illegal migrants. [199]

Obviously, you can't be reasoned with and all you do is make yourself look
idiotic with your persistent, crackpot rhetoric!

You were an immigrant yourself once upon a time. How would you have felt
if somebody suggested that you be shot on sight as soon as you and your
family arrived in this country??

Oh, I forgot, your proviso only goes for brown people, sorry LOL

I'd forgotten that one, considering I ever knew it.

@Rich, while we don't say "Who is the president of the States?"
people often refer to the US as either the United States or the States, the latter
in casual conversation.

Not certain I see your point here.
Once again, short-sighted thinking on the part of various governments
such as The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, and Austria is the root
cause of many of the social problems of foreigner integration among
the wealthier European countries!

You're just playing the Devil's Advocate,
purposely nit picking for sheer effect....or, your American
is still not perfect after some forty years in the States:-)

Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [283]

Intelligent, sentient beings are smart, heaven forbid enlightened, enough
not to have to hit someone over the head with something, if subtle suggestions
do the trick just as easily!

'Course if you're not smart enough to catch on, Rich, that's scarcely my/our problem now,
is it!

@jon,
Can't entirely agree, especially about "Brave New World".

@Rich, First Amendment freedoms guarantee the right of any free speech nut to
talk like a jerk. You seem to have taken liberal advantage of that freedomLOL

Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [283]

@Rich,
The late Jerzy Kosinski of BEING THERE fame too spoke and wrote "American" fluently,
albeit with a decided Polish accent!

The differences though between you and Kosinski, apart from the obvious, are that
his accented American English was beautifully articulated, erudite, clever, and learned.

Take a hint?

Former DOGE chief, Elon Musk's a one-man crime wave!
Now his Chatbot's spewing anti-Semitic tripe and pro-Hitler rants.

Cart this guy away, folks.

Surprise, PolAmKrakow, Rich, Joker and others...I'm absolutely against chronic outsourcing of American manufacturing products and services, allowing foreign businesses
aka Arab oil sheiks, Russian oligarchs and their ilk, to buy up property in the US for their own often nefarious reasons, permitting Mexican drug cartels to have free access to North American businesses and the like.

But for the last time, you people are throwing the baby out with the bathwater and the kid's getting awful tired:-)

The professionals with whom you've spoken are in all likelihood scarcely as literate as their fathers or grandfathers since under Ronald
Reagan, education as we know it was cancelled!
