News / Poles most worried about independence in 23 years - poll [8]

How can they prove in 23 years?

Many Poles tell me they fear Islam taking over, or the EU, or Jews are infiltrating the system, Soviet Poles, Atheist, The West. etc etc etc etc

xenophobia is driven by the fear of being taken over.

Travel / Driving in Poland, are there any rules at all? [149]

Polish drivers and their disregard for traffic laws. But I have driven all around Europe and I must say, French and Italian drivers are far worse.

That is a blatant lie and the stats prove it.

News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]

[quote=ZIMMY]Unlike lefties I don't believe that all cultures are equal in (their) values.
Do you support the free market?
Are Jeffrey Sachs and Milton Friedman lefties? Was the Shock therapy in Poland a plan of the left?

As for Blair's government allowing the new EU members in ,well!
Former Conservative Prime Minister Sir John Major today suggested that Labour leader Tony Blair was more right wing than him.

At the end of the Second World War there were work shortages in Europe and labour shortages in Britain. The government began looking for immigrants.

Legislation had allowed people from the Empire and Commonwealth unhindered rights to enter Britain because they carried a British passport.

Under political pressure, the government legislated three times in less than a decade to make immigration for non-white people harder and harder. By 1972, legislation meant that a British passport holder born overseas could only settle in Britain if they, firstly, had a work permit and, secondly, could prove that a parent or grandparent had been born in the UK. (Was this legalization introduced by the right?)

news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/uk/2002/race/short_history_of_immigration.stm

Immigration policy seems to be driven by profit / the free-market and short-sightedness and the opportunistic ambitions of the power that be. The political parties swing to the left or right depending on what the spin-doctors prescribe for electoral victory. Whatever slogan works, remember Peter Griffiths.

It was actually a small housing estate where they didn't bother to buy one; the town of had its decorations in the city centre as normal, but don't let facts get in the way of hysteria.

Tell me more as I'm so sick of people crying over this one.

as long as they are similar culture it's ok. we are neighbours,we speak similar languages and they are not that different from us.

so, do you think the Brits and the Irish(5% of population) were right to let so many Poles into their countries? Are their cultures similar enough? Or do you think they are soft liberals? Would you have a problem with Catholics Nigerian coming to Poland to help deal with the shrinking population?

News / Poland's economic future? [294]

Poland will overtake all western European countries by GDP PPP per capita

Poland will grow in spite of the fact that some don`t want her growth and in 2050 Poland will become one of the richest countries in Europe .

I understand how difficult it is for you to swallow a bitter pill, that Poland will become a rich country , one of the richest in the world .

Glory to Poland!

Why not just be happy with a major improvement, as of now looking at emigration and birth-rate the country is failing. This hysterical optimism reminds me of the patriot here on min 7

Poles do have legends about their Sarmatian ancestry

but this in not the same as a genetic link. You also made a similar sweeping statement about the Picts.

Life / The Polish Dream - move out from Poland as fast as possible [74]

it is the fault of the post communist ub controlled clique that sold our heritige when they had a chance to

yea, but who did they sell it to. Not simply the west but to the Chicago Boys.

Poland is being colonised by the West.

and so is Ireland Greece etc but we don't use such black a and white terms to label our oppressor. Putting a geographic name on the other is an old soviet trick. The fact is Poland's elite are in an alliance with the neo-liberal international agenda.(neo-feudalism)They are capitalist. The shock therapy in Poland was forced upon the people but it was done by Polish capitalism in alliance with the international casino capitalism. Blaming the imaginary west and the soviet past/ soviet Poles is being a xenophobic sociopaths.

Life / Agnieszka holland compares life in Poland to 'sniffing farts': [97]

She is simply exposing the dark side of Poland. Unpatriotic Commie Jew is the label for all those who don't turn a blind eye.



Since the mid-1990s, the ultra-Catholic Radio Maryja station has been on air with an anti-modernist, nationalist and xenophobic program.[1]

Polish non-governmental watchdogs say incidents of racially-motivated violence are increasing, while youths shouting far-right slogans have gatecrashed university lecture halls where liberal academics have been speaking.

Before the violence broke out at Monday's march, demonstrators chanted: "God, honour, fatherland!"

One said: "I believe that Polishness is under threat."

Poland's leftwing voices are being silenced
The sacking of Przekrój's left-leaning editors is the latest in a narrowing of public debate to the neoliberal viewpoint

(Reuters) - Magdalena Sroda, a Polish feminist and academic, was about to deliver a lecture at Warsaw university on "Morality in public life," when around 50 young men wearing balaclavas and plastic animal masks shoved their way into the building.

maybe good for ignorant English speaking world

The ignorant don't read books unless they are Autobiographies written by ghosts.

I'm criticizing all the time current establishment in Poland and none call me commie, a Jew or anything like that, you are making things up.

"The rationality of the ruled is always the weapon of the rulers."

any links to verify all of this?

On a surface, to be honest Polish history is nothing like Irish history.

of course they are very different but below the surface there are some similarities. Even Norman Davis has made this comparison in God's Playground.

Who is critical of establishment?

critics.

are barking at the Church,

I wouldn't waste my breath on the church tbh, nothing but enforcers of OCD and herd behavior.

So her parents have been planted in Poland by Soviets, have you heard about planted settlers in Ireland?

Explain? Please!!!lol

Funny how anyone Polish who is critical of the establishment/elite or inwardness of Poland are accused of being Jewish or communist and if your a foreigner you are accused of being an arrogant westerner- even if you are from a country like Ireland which in many ways had a similar history.

You'll always be a bad driver if you attack all criticism.

Instead there is Gombrowicz`s Ferdydurke ( a Jewish writer ) a complusory book on the list !!!!

This book is a masterpiece of post-modernism. Reminds me of kafka or Flan O Brien. I like that term he uses in the book "an athletic lack of knowledge" reminds me of a farter on this thread.

You or your parents left Poland instead of fighting for our freedom from communism like rats from the sinking ship .

This is the fart smell she is talking about.

Polish Patriot, as far as I see, you are the one disgracing Poland with your inane comments.

very true. She is breath of fresh air.
She'll have the Nazi flash mobs barking and farting at her now. Probably another reason for remaining abroad.
