History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [582]

Facts are facts!

Well by the standards of your own argument (or facts as you like to call them) then Jews were equally responsible and supportive of the Nazi regime by the work that many of them did in these death camps.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [582]

For the umpteenth time, people, I'm NOT "blaming" Poland or the Poles for antisemitism!

You were blaming Poles for their "help" and "support" of the Germans when concentration camps were built on Polish soil using the argument that some other countries didn't have concentration camps therefore the Poles were in some way responsible for having the camps on their own soil

Law / Uber in Poland - illegal [28]

ber are cheaper than conventional taxis, the drivers are politer,

Uber is not always cheaper.

I only signed up to Uber two months ago and used them a few times. In my experience they are cheaper for longer journeys but more expensive on shorter journeys. You are right that the drivers are much more polite probably because they're aware of the rating system. One drawback though is they can sometimes be overly friendly, trying to force a chummy conversation with you when you'd rather stare blankly out the window. On my last Uber trip the driver didn't shut up for 20 minutes !

Another thing to be aware of is that Uber prices for the same journey change depending upon the demand and can often double or triple during peak periods.

Off-Topic / Result of Danish Elections may be favorable to Poland [45]

Uh-uh, spiritus! No soap.

Hitler was also successful in running multiple death factories with the cooperation of Jews who "willingly" helped Nazis with the whole extermination process as described previously.

You didn't answer my questions though Lyzko.

You are the one who made the claim so the burden of proof lies with you to justify your argument with facts and not the rest of us to prove you are wrong.

You could of course answer our questions with your own questions but it would only prove that you're unable to prove your outlandish claims.

What next ? Tell us that Elvis Presley is still alive and we have to prove otherwise :D

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [957]

And the straight answer is that 88% of Poles support membership of our EU.

Nothing straight about it.

There's no detail about the exact question asked in the poll. If the question asked was "do you support Poland being in the EU" then it doesn't leave people much room to manoeuvre. It's like asking someone "do you like black and white movies" ? It really depends on the detail.

Most Poles do not want migrants or migrants and if that was a condition of having to be part of the EU then you would get a very different response

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [582]

Auschwitz-Birkenau remains one of Poland's places of shame, "Polish" concentration camps, or not:-)

Do buzz off Lyzko !

Poland was not responsible for Auschwitz and any attempt to prove otherwise will mean you have an agenda you are trying to push.

Work / Business ideas for Poland [63]

I've seen (in Poland) people open a business that they had a dream of running, rather than one that there's a market for. .

Agreed though it isn't only in Poland.

Here in the UK I often see small independent shops open and I know they'll be lucky to last a year. Very sad because I think it takes guts to start a new business and these people obviously believe their idea will be successful but it's very easy to fall in love with your own idea and not consider it more impartially.

News / Polish man tries to sell British mother into white slave trade [128]

Of course, it also happens the other way around where Poles are also subjected to despicable people.

A vile example of Muslims using Poles as slaves. The criminal in question is Muslim.

Food / Poles prefer pizza & kebab? [64]

@Cardno85

Yes-that's what I was telling Wulkan. Irritating when someone thinks they know better than someone who lives in the country being discussed.

As you say, there is a certain amount of crossover so Chinese takeaways may also sell chips and kebab shops too but fish and chip shops are not as popular as some might think

News / The real Poland honoured Uprising at patriotic sing-song [34]

I watched it this evening and also last year and I am not ashamed to admit that it brought tears to my eyes.

In the reaƂ, patriotic Poland there is no place for "ulica, zagranica

In the "real, patriotic Poland" there is no place for partisan politics. For YOU, Polonius, to politicise an event to commemorate the people who sacrificed their lives for a free Poland is very low.

I couldn't give a rat's arse who organised it and nor should you.

Some of the survivors from the Uprising may be staunch PO supporters-does that stop them from being a "real" Pole ?

History / UK betrayal of Poland during and after WWII [12]

You sound like a chip of the Russian/Soviet block. Any connections?

something very fishy about the opening post-I agree. In my experience, most English people have little knowledge of what happened with Poland after the war and the ones that do know a bit believe Poland should be grateful for the UK declaring war on Hitler. Troll bait....

Classifieds / House cleaner job - Chichester, West Sussex [12]

And I agree, there's nothing cushy about life on benefits in the UK.

I nearly choked on my sandwich. Life on benefits in the UK is very cushy. One benefit opens the door to another which opens the door to another.

Why do you think the migrants from Africa want to come here ? To work ??

a youth marked by avoiding integration and education and idolizing gangster figures

A very accurate description. Young Muslim men seem to think of themselves as Italian mobsters

Polonia / Half-Polish Terrorist attack on the Champs-Elysses [55]

perhaps it's for the best that the UK has border controls in place to prevent such terrorists from reaching British soil.

Interesting description Delph-did you just like using the word "terrorist" because it makes your post look more dramat"ic ?

"Gun smuggler" sounds a little boring I guess ?

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

Muslims (not every) do not fit in because they came and keep coming to Europe for a different reason.

It's a bit more complicated than that.

Many Muslims were born in Europe and many more will continue to be born in Europe. They do not "fit in" with the host nation's culture but it can now be argued that they don't have to fit in as many Western European nations have sizeable muslim communities that reduces the need to integrate properly

Perhaps if you visited Poland you'd learn

You do make me laugh Harry with your imbecilic claims. Unless you have hacked into my email server then you have no idea as to whether I have visited Poland or not or how many times I might have visited so I kindly advise you to keep your mouth shut as this type of trolling is not acceptable.

If you want to make personal attacks then send me a private message.

@Dirk diggler

Don't forget that there are a lot of home grown muslims who feel the way you described earlier. It's not always down to a foreigner's mentality because they come from another country.

British born muslims have become much more hardline than the preceding generation.

Food / Poles prefer pizza & kebab? [64]

hey don't need to be traditional, in my city most of them are run by Bangladeshi and they also sell kebab.

I was actually disagreeing with you and not with Atch-I still haven't mastered cut and paste !

fish and chips shops run by Bangladeshis and selling kebabs are not fish and chip ships in my book

News / New European Council's report: "Poland oasis of racism, xenophobia and homophobia" ... [343]

Spiritus, young European smart-asses frequently trade four-letter insults in English with one another, even if both have English only as a second language, merely to try to be clever!

Yes-and that I understand. Some punks think it's cool to use the F-bomb in English. These girls claim there were abused in English meaning that the "Polish locals" would have had to string a few sentences together in English rather than just use a single four letter expletive. As I say, something seems fishy about the story

You clearly haven't been to a chippy nation have you? In the UK there is a chip shop on every street,

I'm afraid you are wrong.

There are not many traditional fish and chip shops in towns these days. Of course they are still there but for you to claim there is one on "every street" is completely wrong even taking into account that you might have been exaggerating just for effect.

Chippys used to be the only takeaway food in Britain for many years but now the market has become more competitive. Spicy Indian food is now probably more popular
