Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

I really think that this thread should be made sticky!

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.

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.

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.

Who cares

Oh I do. Many people do. These are very 'near to heart' issues.

but it would be more honest to stop your inanely blahblah about "love" and be honest to yourself and the others...

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.

when you have a gripe with ME

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.

your general attitude

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

To generally condemn people

I didnt condemn anyone yet.

German people who suffered from that regime

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.

"eternal shame"

Just a reminder. But I think I reminded enough.

Lodz is as racist as everybody

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.

Bratwurst Boy

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...

You take me as a human Bratwurst Boy

I dont think I ever thought of you being something else. Only humans read and write.

WWII-Hitler-whatever-reincarnation

If that were you ... well ... you would not have been welcome.

and I let you hug trees and gain wisdom

And whats that supposed to mean?

Trees are good. So is wisdom. But not one was stopping me from doing anything.

You can say that ... lets move forward. And yes, I also think its time to move forward.

Does your grandfather want you to live with that anger?

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.

Gypsies

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:).

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

like to celebrate with them and drink as well ;)

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.

cause its a beautifull country

Right on :)

Life / Are foreigners welcome in Poland? [305]

Thats the problem.

The problem will go. He will become just himself... and the Dutch will show dignity. I hope the Poles show more kindness and love and compassion before that! Lets get to the point of Pride in love and justice first!

Lets open our arms to love and humanity!

One World, One Man!!!

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

and almost no people from outside Europe!

What makes that a positive?

Poland is a land of liberty =) ... it is the place where I walk every morning. Under its trees I've slept ... I touched it grass ... I swam in its lakes ... I climbed its mountains ... Its the name of the beauty nature makes!

Poland is home... as said here before. A home which welcomes, those who love it.

I work in Germany but 3 weekends a month I drive a 1600km round trip to £ódź to stay with moja dziewczyna :)

You are welcome my friend =)

Look at Western Europe and you know why.

Yes they are very developed. And very diverse. Issues will always be there in every country... we will all deal with new issues forever. As long as there is a gap between actual situationa nd desired situation, development will keep on moving forwards. CHEERS!

Life / Are foreigners welcome in Poland? [305]

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!

You see we still have the same opinion now as we did 500 years ago :D

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.

Ring Ring... the world of the free is awaken. And the world will soon be so integrated...SO INTEGRATED.... that those who are left behind will be the lonely people who will be the subject of shame to the future generation! Because the future generation will know how much you guyz wanted to stop them to be there!...The United Human Race!

Love / How to find Asian Girlfriend in Poland [56]

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.

Life / What gifts to take? Presents customs in Poland. [173]

I discovered that giving gifts in poland is not customary

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).

Life / What is the best city in Poland to live in? Relocating to Poznan? [41]

I have some thoughts on relocating to Poland (I am Ukrainian citizen).

Come to Lodz ;-) ...

But hey ... as a freelance translator you need to relocate to areas where they would need one. Wroclaw, Warsaw, Lodz ... Krakow! ... Try these places.

If you want to move only for the sake of earning ... then maybe you might prefer France, I heard they need translators there more and more. Although you will find stiff competition.
