History / Poles the biggest hypocrites in the world [35]

You're making an argument for an argument sake, catch some waves, life's too short for you to debate this topic. Enjoy life and hope that sharia low is not implemented where you live. Surfing might be outlawed.

History / Poles the biggest hypocrites in the world [35]

I'm not, a cousin ten times removed living on the west cost of the US simply has no idea of the problem at hand, neither will he ever have to live in the aftermath of the policies adapted by prevailing side. No matter what side of the issue he's debating he will never have to face the consequence of his action. I on the other hand will have to live in that reality created by delusional mind, therefore I make my voice heard before it's too late.

@TheOther

You as in west Germans on whose behalf you spoke, besides if you're a yank you should stay out of the European affairs. This debate is none of your business .

History / Poles the biggest hypocrites in the world [35]

You know why, look at his statement. They can't take criticism nor the responsibility for their own or their leaders, parents, grandparents action, they suspect that Serbians won't be quiet on most of the issues, rightly so. Its the Nazis and Polish concentration camps - Germans its that simple, not some Nazis nor Polish concentratin camps. EU will split on the migrant's issue just like Roman E. I'm sure Serbia will join big Bizantium, Miedzymorze. That is.

Lol

You're trying to hard to forget the past, what's the matter, ashamed. When it came to settle the bill for the Greek party which lasted a couple of decades germany said hell no but now you expect every one else to chip in for the guests you invited in and to adopt them. Perhaps you don't want to move east but sure as hell you want to send your adapted children there, same **** if you ask me.

@theother

Don't kid yourself, its still happening today. who is really running the EU, the policies in general, who's economic interests do they serve. New markets for Germany were always in the east. don't forget the forced resettlement of the so called German guests by any means necessary which Brussels is threatening other members of the union with. Once again Brussels represents who, like it or not but all those things serve German interests only. Only thing that changed is the name of the policy as the old one is outdated, hearing it leaves a bitter taste but the aim of the German policy remained constant, same as in the 30s.

@ali000

That one sentence you wrote is not about your experience more like a blank accusation, a sure sign of racism on yor part. Stating you have travaled around Europe in your second post does not help to back up your previous statement. It only reinforced my opinion about you, that the very thing you accused others to be are yourself.

Oh please just be honest and say "I'm a Polonophob by nature, I can't help myself when I spew this nonsense every time I get the chance" instead of hiding behind the nick that's not really an indicator of your true identity.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

whereas the still homogeneous Polish has little non-Polish, i.e. non-SLAVIC, word stock from which to choose:-)

LOL. Not being fluent in polish is no excuse for writing a pure nonsense on your part. Ffs just look up your own examples in a dictionary for proper polish counterparts and you will see why it is so or simply ask a native speakers if you do not own one.

Life / In need of good Polish jokes about Polish culture, people, etc [226]

Two Germans are having a debate about Poles and the stereotypes associated with them:

You know, those Poles are not such thieves as they depict them to be. I stand here, two hours have gone by, Poles all around me, and I still have my gold watch that my grandfather gave me on my hand. Says the first German

Indeed, How nice. Says the other
It even has the original inscription: "Z okazji urodzin. Warszawa 1939". (For your birthday. Warsaw 1939)

The two bars on the ribbon indicate the number of times he received this award, taking the original Cross of Velour into account he received this awarded three times which this list of recipients seem to confirm. You will find his name as well as his rank on this list. Pg.276

Language / Correct spelling of surname pronounced Can-your-chef-ski? [8]


Sorry to burst your bubble but Kanjorszewski does not sound natural to a native and a bit strange if you ask me. Even if one never came across a given surname before this one will always be a suspect to a native speaker as made up, there's no root word in it to associate with.


This statement speaks volume as to your intention, as for the punch-line I don't know about his skiing ability but my chef-can't-cook-for-sh*t.

PS. Your formula will not work in Polish no matter how much you insist.

Language / Correct spelling of surname pronounced Can-your-chef-ski? [8]


Perhaps it's (Koniuszewski) but the pronunciation would be con-you-chef-ski, where con is pronounced like in the word contradict and no r.


I was thinking the same.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

It's design that way to stress the word and make it sound like it's said in anger. Annoying to say the least just like we say Jankes or Mexicans who say Gringo.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


There's no such word as Pollack in Polish language therefor derogatory and offensive, changing the spelling brings out obvious negative connotation and it only exist in Anglo speaking world, there's nothing wrong with using proper spelling of this word which is Polak meaning a Pole. Contrary to what you claim here the word for a Pole Polak is still very much in use and acceptable in both languages the meaning of Murzyn nor the spelling of it on the other hand ever changed, it's original meaning is intact. Just like the word Polak in Polish language describes a person of Polish heritage the word Murzyn describes a person of African heritage, end of story. No racism here whatsoever.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


Did not mean it as an insult, just stating obvious fact, you simply can't hide ignorance. Your comprehension of your own native language needs polishing yet here you are trying to teach the natives their own language,

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


Pathetic? 1960's height of civil rights movement, segregation etc. The only meaning was to insult certain section of the population stating that it's LIKE that you put it on equal terms. You argue for argument sake but in my eyes you're just too stupid to realize the significance of your own words, Don't bother explaining yourself, you wiggle like a litle worm now, can't even admit to what you've actually said, end of story.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


Yes you did, as a matter of fact yesterday on this very thread when you quoted Lenka.



This makes you a Liar no matter how hard you deny it.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


That's what you get when you substitute one chav location for another, haven't really climbed that social letter, have you?


Don't kid yourself, mixed marriages are still a very tiny percentage of households in Poland so by very definition your household is not typical Polish household is it. Can't comment on what is said or not in your house as you never invited me for a beer btw recent is a relative term so what is not to you might very well be recent to me, either way it can't be more than twenty years and more than half of your life spent in Poland for you to be an expert on what Polish people mean when they say .....


Nope, you grew up with this concept therefor you see it that way, As I have said.

Love / Why are Polish girls so attracted to German boys? [52]

You mean asylums, like in Turks, as they say the beauty is in the eye of a beholder. No need to take offence if you can't recognize sarcasm, this obviously is a baiting thread posted by one of your own I presume.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


Again that's just your opinion isn't it?


So is the case in Polish, almost never used, perhaps in some obscure literature that most people hardly ever read.


Hardly, just pointing out that the western artist themselves are trying to make an imprint on Polish society which is starting to take hold on younger generation.


Somehow I'm not surprised such language and the meaning it carries is used in your household, than again you yourself are a recent immigrant to Poland so whatever meaning of the word that is used in your household in no way reflects on what is meant by it in typical Polish family.


Again if you read my statement carefully you would see I have acknowledge the fact that it is not, you yourself have used it in your quote to illustrate it as a contradiction LOL.

Love / Why are Polish girls so attracted to German boys? [52]


Perhaps German men are like Polish men both are not willing to date ugly German girls, can't say that I blame them.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


Contemporary use of the word has not changed, there simply was no reason for it. Unlike the western European countries and the US where a significant portion of the population consisted of minorities and the word was mangled in your respective languages to reflect that negative feeling toward certain groups of people where over time you assigned a negative connotation to it, this is not the case in Poland. The only negative use of this word that percolated to the society in general in the last 20 years or so is through hip hop culture, again an imported idea from the west mainly US. Most people were never exposed or lived in close proximity to minorities to simply develop this racist notion of yours that still dominates the general attitude of the Anglo speaking countries. Those that did were for the most part exposed to foreign students, again a class that does not presents itself in negative way, so what makes you think that this is all BS and an excuse. You simply have a preconceived notion of what this word is and you apply your way of reasoning to Polish language through mistranslation of your own native language passing it on to Polish language, as if. In my opinion this badly reflects on you. You want it so bad to be the case, that you unconsciously reveal yourself to be a bigot and a closet racist. Not only do you still think of minorities in the Anglo way but you want to impose your way of thinking on 40 million Poles and what this word might mean to them just because you think of it in those terms.

USA, Canada / Bilateral Visa Waiver Agreement between USA and Poland [47]


Who shads crocodile tears or not for that matter is irrelevant, it's the principal that counts.


You missed it by a long shot, the point is that if a block like EU can't have a universal policy that applies equally to all member states when dealing with US or any other state on any matter than it undermines their strength both internally and externally in negotiating for the block as a whole. Such organization is just a one big joke for each and every state has their own bilateral agreements that they will adhere to anyway rendering EU irrelevant in the process. Not that I ever was a big fan of the EU in the first place but it sure makes it seem like a weak entity that's not fully recognized by any outside state which reserves the right of having a bilateral agreement with each and every state within its borders. It (the EU that is) look like a wimp with no real legitimacy or authority behind it on international arena.

Language / Polish Proficiency Test? [9]


Don't give up so easily. They conduct an oral interview with candidates, perhaps taking a course before the next exam which is usually held in October would qualify you provided your Polish is good enough, so why not giving them a call? See what they say. Perhaps they will suggest something that might suit your situation better, time is getting short for you. You have to knock on every door available to you if you want to achieve your goals.
