Food / Polish Milk Soup [72]


Sure! I'm allowed to speak my mind though. It's not like I'm insulting you or anyone else because I don't like milk soup. (And I'm definitely not the only one!) I mean, people here are allowed to say something about my favourite type of music too, so I guess you'll just have to deal with it.

Who cares? Your whole Bible is filled with lies, and even children have been abused within the Church. You're free to believe what you want to believe, but in this day and age people should really learn to accept eachother, and ofcourse you don't really need the Church to do that.

Wearing a cross or attending Church doesn't prove you're a Christian, and performing lip-service doesn't prove you're a Christian either. Most people who call themselves Christians aren't really Christians anyway, simply because most of them don't live by their own rules, and most of them don't practice what they preach.

Most people attend Church simply because the rest does it. (And not necessarily because they believe in it!) They're afraid of their own community, and they're afraid to be different. I see religion as a form of manipulative psychology, a tool to oppress people through irrational fear. Fear of the unknown. I also see it as a form of fascism, because its ideology expects all people to think and talk the same, which will never happen, which ofcourse causes all kinds of conflicts and social problems between people.

You're allowed to strongly disagree with me, but please do try to remember I'm not trying to insult you personally. It is simply how I see religion. I think our history has proven that nothing good will come of it a thousand times over already.

I'm sorry about your relationship. Welcome back to the singles club I guess! Hey, we're not as sad as some people might think we are, we really aren't.

Just look at the bright side, you can do whatever the hell you want now, you don't have to prove anything to anyone anymore, or even ask anyone anything, and you can behave like a child anytime you want! You'll be over him in no time! Forget stress, just close your eyes, play your favourites songs and turn them up loud! It helps..

Cute. You really have an ego the size of Russia on your shoulders sometimes you know, but we all know the truth don't we? So please.. No offense, but most girls who sound like you can't ever find a boyfriend or a man who will satisfy them, simply because they have too many unrealistic demands.

Isn't it? I'm a huge fan of controversy and humour. Whatever I choose to do or say, no matter how harsh or how shocking it may seem to some of you sometimes, I'll always keep it friendly whenever it really matters. And that's what counts isn't it? Not all the things I yell and say when I'm angry, or when I'm having a laugh.

Some people think too much, take too many things way too seriously, and judge too much. Honestly.


I agree, I believe in simplicity when it comes to solutions. I think all the small things keep society going, and not the trillion dollar money schemes.


LOL! Sorry, I know it's not funny..

This forum is pretty negative about Poland. Sorry, but that's how I see it. There are only a handful of native Polish people on here, compared to the numbers of foreigners who post here. I think most members here are from the UK and the US.

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]


Yes. Simple and honest. We don't have to pretend we're still living in the Victorian age, because that's the only reason some people are afraid to be honest. Why should we want to make everything so complicated?

We're all different, there's no shame in that. There's no need to generalise, and there certainly is no need to place the blame. (The famous pot and the kettle story.) I'm all for etiquette and friendliness, and I've always liked watching discussions between people who are able to make their point and bring everything with a certain flair..

But on the other hand, I think we all need to vent sometimes, and I know I'm not unique! It would be nice if that wouldn't be taken too seriously all the time. Just because I'm mad about something, doesn't mean I'll be mad for eighty years. When I insult someone, it doesn't mean I can't say sorry, or admit that I was wrong.

Forgive and forget. Live and let live. Boys will be boys, and girls will be girls. Variety is the spice of life. Simplicity is the key.

I like these kind of phrases. People should keep in mind we all make mistakes, and that we all learn from our mistakes, if only we could admit this without recieving such a harsh treatment for admitting those. I mean, isn't that a sign of honesty then? I think it's a pity how harsh some people judge others, because if we wouldn't it would really make a difference.

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]


I would agree with you if we were talking about murder, physical abuse, domestic violence and rape.


I don't think it's a complete mystery to most adults that almost everyone has the potential to do some damage under certain circumstances. I could understand a person who steals out of hunger. I could understand a person who protects him or herself. I could understand a prostitute who has mouths to feed.

I don't understand why some people get socially stigmatized for a few screw ups that most of us made, or could've made under the same circumstances. Things like losing your job, losing your partner, cheating, lying, or even punching the dickhead who keeps insulting you for no good reason. I guess that's what I mean.

Work / Job salary comparison in UK and Poland and other European countries [6]


You have a point if you're talking about migration, but if you plan to work abroad on a temporary basis you might benefit from such differences.


Oh, but it's not always a bad thing to be thirty five and unmarried you know. I know a thirty nine year old guy who has had four marriages, and five children with three different women. He always has problems with money because of his situation, and he earns twice as much as I do.

I'm careless, don't have *that* much stress so I'm reasonably happy. So it's not about where you're going, it's about how you're doing.

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [437]


Not entirely, no. I wouldn't vieuw any woman as a piece of meat, but ofcourse there are women who choose to sell themselves. I fail to see how rape comes into this. If you would talk about women trafficking and the exploiting of women who live in poverty, then I'd say you're absolutely right.


You have a point, but it's not like every woman would agree with you. Oh, and vieuwing a woman as a piece of meat would be inhumane indeed. She's a human being with feelings and emotions, just like yourself, but maybe you'll understand when you're raising your own little lady one day. (You never know!)


I understand you completely, but it's not like I'm expecting anything to change soon. I can only hope that one day the people who call themselves liberals will understand that it's in their best interest to treat people fairly. I'd almost call it a law of nature, because it's a very simple, yet universal truth. You reap what you sow.

For the ones who still don't understand; If you want people to respect you, you should treat them with respect. You can't expect people to respect you when you're talking about solidarity, respect in society and all that charity-talk about reducing poverty, when all you have to offer is lip-service.

I gave up on politics, but I will keep talking about simple values. It doesn't matter if you're left or right wing, or a centrist, because we're all human beings, and we all want a decent life for ourselves.

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]


In a lot of cases this is very true, even I am still signed up as a Protestant, but I can assure you my ideas have next to nothing in common with religion. I did some weird things in a period of intense confusion, but after this period, it all started to make perfect sense to me.


Undoubtedly. All I will say is that if only a few people could muster up enough courage to go their own way, more and more will follow. Just look at Holland, we were a very religious nation (Seemingly!) only two and a half decades ago. Most of our churches are empty these days, and most of our people find truth in philosophy, science, simple facts of life, logical reasoning and common sense.

Most people treat eachother with respect for eachother's individuality now, and we don't have all those religious problems anymore. (All the bickering between Protestants and Catholics for example.) A lot of our older folks are still trying to impose their beliefs on us, but our younger generations aren't having it. Most of just want to be free people, and treat eachother as free people. I guess that's why we're so concerned about the wave of Muslim immigrants, because we know what their ideology represents. (Intolerance.)


I see your point, and I'm sure many others do, albeit silently in some cases, so don't worry yourself about that. I'm sure some people would find your way of wording insulting, but then again, most of those people who would take offense, would probably find everything you say insulting, simply because it's not what they wanted to read.

I think people who are afraid need other people who feel afraid to feel better. Maybe a shared burden is half the burden, as they say. I'd like to help people who are afraid of the unknown, so I'm not going to show them any misplaced hatred or even treat them with anger, but I will keep speaking my mind in all honesty.

I'm open to the idea of a God, but I really don't believe he/she/it wrote the Bible, or even told people how to live their lives. I know we all have our own free will as individuals, and we all have our own ideas and feelings, and I believe we do for a reason. If God is unconditional love, then no one should have to be afraid, because all will be forgiven. (If there's anything wrong with anything we choose to do in the first place!)

We have laws, and we have human rights. Live and let live?

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]


You should speak for yourself. I'm sure there are many people in the UK who do not hate anyone. If you don't want to make yourself look like a complete hypocrit, then you should also be able to state that you should hate certain people in your own government aswell, and ofcourse all the English voters and English employers who wholeheartedly wanted these immigrants, because of the cheap labour. It's easy to blame people, and as you can see, it's easy for me too!

You're allowed to have an opinion, and you're allowed to express your concerns, but you shouldn't hate people simply because they wanted a job. I agree with you that the whole idea behind mass immigration has failed, but I don't hate the Polish people, or anyone else for wanting a job. I understand people who want a job. I'm basically saying that everyone should place the blame where it belongs, if we truly wish to solve all the problems.

:)

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]


I'm not denying this, and like it or not, you're actually illustrating my point. My whole point is that people are people, wether they call themselves Christians or Muslims doesn't change anything. That's the actual point I'm trying to make here. I'm not singling out one particular religion.


Nice try, but I do accept people who have a belief. Because a belief is personal. You're allowed to believe, and you're allowed to talk about it. I simply oppose the religious aspect, which is basically a form of fascism. I don't think it's a complete mystery to most people that religion imposes its ideas on people. Often the church convinces the community, and then uses the community to pressure people to believe in their ways.

I don't pressure anyone. I simply speak my mind, and I discuss these things in all honesty, and I'm also more than honest enough about my own shortcomings. I don't claim to have all the answers, I don't claim to know it all. Do you see the difference between having faith, and having a religion? I accept everyone.


I'm as tolerant as a human being can be. I will never judge anyone, but religious people? They call everyone who doesn't see it their way a devil worshipper, a servant of Satan, corrupted, evil, wrong or sinful. Should I promote such tolerance? How about Gays or Lesbians? They are human beings too! Or how about people who like sex with a lot of people? Does the church accept or even tolerate those people? I'm tolerant, and that's why I oppose religion. I don't oppose people who have faith in something, and I don't stigmatize people for having a personal belief. I oppose fascism, collective thinking, mass-hysteria and the social stigmatizing of innocent people.

It's interesting you didn't quote anything from my other posting though, because you can clearly read there how I feel about having faith, and I know what unconditional love really means. I hope you understand that in my personal conviction, there's a huge difference between religion and belief. Belief should be something personal. Belief should be about tolerating, accepting and forgiving. Belief should be about understanding our own human nature, instead of condemning and judging ourselves.

You could do some research for yourself, and look it up in the Nag Hammadi.. You can find a quote there, from early Christian texts, which reads: There is no sin. Do you know who supposedly said that? Jesus supposedly said that. (I say supposedly, because I don't know, because I was born in 1980, and not in the year 0. I wasn't there. I don't know. God never told me anything either.) I prefer to keep things simple and down to earth, which is exactly why I don't claim to have the absolute truth.
