Life / Polish films... where to find them? [51]

no, not at all. if you dont have an account after downloading one file you have to wait about 75 minutes to continue. Its a little bit uncomfortable cause downloading one movie takes whole day.

If you prefer torrents you can register on torrenty.org ( via sms, cost about 5 pln ). best torrent download tools are utorrent.com & bittorrent.com/download

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]

I do like turks. During Euro 2008 I kept my fingers crossed for your NT.

In our history we were enemies and we were firends. But turks unlike germans or russians respected Poles as a strong and brave nation. After our victory in Vienna defeated turks admire Sobieski as a great leader and soldier. after decades of partition of Poland, Turkey was the first country that recognized my country as a independent state.

Today the problem is that as a islamic country Turkey is often consider as a potential threat to the western and christian civilisation. These days for many people in western world muslim = terrorist. I cant say that Im free from this prejudice. Besides all, turks have my sympathy.

(sorry for my english. i havent been speeking/writing eng for years)
