How beautiful the world could've been if ugly sentiments would not prevail.
The thing that makes a person ugly is his/her attitude towards life and the living.
The simplest thing in the world is love. The toughest thing is to love. The rarest thing is love. The most abundant can only be love.

You are a German. :)
I agree. Its not the right thing.
But what can I do. When I hear 'Germany' I remember many things, many stories, a certain dear and beloved person in my family had a great grudge against Germans for very credible reasons.
Once upon a time (not too many years ago) my grandparents were friends which Germans, who turned out to be traitors, pack of murders... due to which a really deep scar remained on the heart of my grandfather, and effected the entire family. Such was the scar that I saw him turn red and angry ... furious to the highest degree whenever he would hear the very name "Germany".
But then again, I myself believe in looking forward and hatred as being a great diesease. Believe me you that I do not hate you. But for some reason I read your posts carefully to try and find that word/sentence where your aggressive self (which I involuntarily believe all Germans have) to appear and thus I can refute/fight them.
But ... I have no particular hatred for you. Actually I shouldnt have.
If I have hurt you, do pardon me. I will try not to view you as critically. Actually not to view any German as critically. Just be nice to people... and ofcourse so should I.
LTB.
Yeah...I can feel your love for me Lodz!
You are a German. :)
If there is a really sick thing it's someone pretending and preaching love and harboring hate and racist grudges against one country anyhow.

Oh I do. Many people do. These are very 'near to heart' issues.
I am always honest about my sentiments. However I have expressed my position to you already. I think now its on you to be normal or to carry on your same old stance.
Everyone has a 'not so bright' patch in attitude/sentiments. Perhaps mine needs some repair too. But I hope its not made difficult my someone difficult.
Who cares

I dont have any gripe with you. But yes, sometimes your comments which need a response...get responsed. Thats all. About being too critical about you, I have already said that I will reconsider.
How many times have you seen me go after Germans. Or start threads against Germans? Look at a post I gave to Crow:
polishforums.com/poland-politics-history-34/polish-serbian-relations-like-13254/30
Its post #1235
I didnt condemn anyone yet.
Shall I show links to you of 'Love letter to Hitler" by the Germans of that Era. There are dozens of books written (and protested by Germans) of their love for their furor. However, it is not justified to equate those people with the current Germans. However, Germans should also remember the past in its rightful manner. Not that a powerful oppressed them, but that their forefather (not too distant) were themselves oppressor. Atleast the vast majority.
Just a reminder. But I think I reminded enough.
Lodz is a human like everybody. It I would've learnt all values, gained all knowledge...to reached enlightment...then there would remain no reason for me to live. To live is to learn and constantly update oneself. Be stronger and more wise.
By the way, I havent said something so offensive to you yet that you would've needed to overreact this much. You just leapt on me :D
I have made my replies on this forum to comments which seemed unjustified to me. Some of them were probably yours. In future to there might be some which are yours.
And at the end. I have already told you enough. Even asked to move ahead. Now it depends on how much a gentleman are you...

I dont think I ever thought of you being something else. Only humans read and write.
If that were you ... well ... you would not have been welcome.

You can say that ... lets move forward. And yes, I also think its time to move forward.
He died long ago. He taught me many wonderful things. I dont think he would want anything negative. Perhaps his experiences were too bitter. God bless his soul and the soul of them who unfortunately tasted a bitter Europe.
I hope such a thing never happens again. Yes, we should move ahead.
I remember a poem I read when I was a child, regarding Gypsies. I forget the author of the poem...but it was in English I think. A very touching poem... I wish I could remember it again. All I remember is that it touched me:).

Let us not drink much anymore. I know I am going against the flow... but there are friends I know who would agree with me. Many close friends have lessened, or given up drinking all together. It really feels good to consider alcohol as something for other purposes, and not consuming it.
Right on :)
like to celebrate with them and drink as well ;)

I disagree that they find it hard to be into families...
There are foreighners much more diverse then then four or six countries you guyz mentioned (trying to limit it into whites only as I can see) ... and they are welcome in some families.
All families are not the same. Some dont welcome anybody even! Be it Pole or non-Pole! Some welcome anyone ... and some welcome good people....each have their own criterias. Polish are not robots who are computeried according to a person's wish!

Dont hurry by saying 'We'. Its you and your kind of people who have this opinion about fellow human beings. Remorseless... without any compassion...thinking that the world only has you.

Because the future generation will know how much you guyz wanted to stop them to be there!...The United Human Race!
You see we still have the same opinion now as we did 500 years ago :D

There are some Asians who come to our universities. I myself am married to an Asian girl (I am a Polish). I used to write here alot, but not now so much - busy, family =).
They are adorable and very caring. If you know how to love, surely you will find love.
Good luck.

Where is it customary? ... It is not that we give gifts to please the person. To bring a smile ... as a surprise =)...
Giving gift to the teacher at the end of a term is silly I think. I never did such a thing, although I was close to a few and I gave them gift when my university was over. But its kinda strange to give gifts to a person who might be responsible for your grade - it sounds more like bribery to me (sorry if it sounds bad).
I discovered that giving gifts in poland is not customary
