UK, Ireland / Why Poles will never belong in England [283]

British person (as in an actual ethnic Brit) here, just popping in to agree with the OP and encourage Poles to go home

Prat!
Poles have been here for a long time and especially during and after WW2.
Look at the Battle of Britain and see what Poles achieved there.
Prat!

Law / Noisy children outside [40]

He blames the parents

And he is right on this one......Jim, you are so dim.....

noisy kids are raised by parents first before being sent to school

Correct!

Teachers are not supposed to bring kids up, we educate them

Well,I agree with the part about teachers not supposed to bring kids up.
But the education argument is losing me.......
I see most western teachers as indocrinators rather than educators.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

a number of individual Poles were admittedly complicit in anti-Semitic sentiment

Whilst I will never deny that fact I find it extremely offensive that some Jews hold your sort of opinions about Poles when Poland was the only country in Europe willing to accept Jews when all other major European nations were trying to rid themselves of them.

Lack of respect and gratitude or what?

Life / Do young Polish people believe in their religion and God? [150]

People in this day and age don't want to put effort into anything that would make the church's teachings more popular

Why would they?

There are rules in life that one must follow

Who gave you those rules numbskull?

People like you though insist on turning your back on Gods rules and making up your own rules.

You are making a laughing stock of yourself......who have given you God's rules you moron?

Genealogy / SKI...SKY...ZKI...Polish surname endings [38]

most of Polish surnames ending in -ski, -cki and -dzki are derived from place names

That may well be true but many derive from trades.
As in Kucharski.

Law / Noisy children outside [40]

@johnny reb

Sadly, I have to agree.
I say sadly,because It is not the route my heart wants to take.
But my brain says it is common sense.

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [396]

Italian wines are underrated as a whole, IMO.

They are, and the main reason is that they keep most of the best ones for themselves and don't export them!
I was never a great fan of Italian wines until some Italian friends brought me back some fine examples when returning from their holidays there.

Reading books can be a great sensory experience, not just intellectual.

So true!

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

RuSSia geographically is both in Europe and Asia. Mentally too, I think. This makes it similar to Poland in a way - a mutant country.

I don't see Poland as a European/Asian mutant country like Russia at all.
Poland, historically and culturally has taken on some Asian influence.
But it has always looked to the west.
But to say that Poland is a mutant country like Russia, is just wrong.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

Poles warned Germans... They didn't listen..

Dead right.

And greedy. So were Poles, to some extent. Everybody could see what Putin was like

Definitely, there were many people looking after their own finances and not their morality.

News / TVP producer fired for allowing rainbow flag on the air... [244]

Rightists are amassingly obsessed with rainbows.

Really?

I think it is leftists that are obsessed by rainbows.
They seem to think that it somehow makes their cause pure and natural.
But it doesn't.
All it does is show them up as the bumbling idiots they are!

Off-Topic / Curious Books of PF [50]

I mean that's it. I hate reading books

That is your choice Rich.
I hate poetry too.....pointless waste of time.
But for my A Levels I studied Economics, English and French.
Which required a lot of reading books.....
I got into reading as a kid acrually,encouraged by my mum.
Currently, I have a small, quiet room on the ground floor that many Brits would call a "snug". It is quite small and square.The only furniture is two armchairs and a coffee table.

One wall is just a massive window.
The other three walls are floor to ceiling shelves.
One wall has my record collection.Vinyl albums at the bottom.
Them a shelf of vinyl singles above and CD' s on top.
The other two walls are my library, it may be small, but it has a good mix of fiction, science fiction, politics and history in there.

I have a lot of books on WW2 and European and especially Polish history.
" Poland" by James Michener is one of my favourites.
You can read and enjoy this book if you know Polish history or if you dont.
Just a great semi fictional read.
I first read it about 30 years ago and then again about 10 years ago and have just started reading it again.A great book!
He was American BTW......

Europe will go down with us.

Europe will, but the UK will remain standing.
