Life / Poles are not racist [873]

- You wonder - but are you really keen on answering the question that underlies your wonder? So you suggest the Poles are actually racist but feel being persecuted without any reason, just in order to evade the alleged truth they are racist?

Hmmm, maybe it's you who are racist towards the Poles? Some of your posts - including the one I'm replying to - seem to constitute evidence in this respect. You are really prejudiced against us, in spite of the fact you've been living in our country for - as I understand - quite a while now.

it does disturb me sometimes walking round the streets in the towns and cities seeing this sign.

- Not that I'd like to defend the stupid graffiti, but there exists also Jewish racism towards Poles, especially in North America, and the racism is just horrific. It has greatly influenced the general American perception of the Poles and from America has spread to many other countries. Have you ever heard about it...? Do skinheads represent all the Poles? Do British skinheads represent all British?

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

polish people are so racist

- And the above statement proves it's you who are racist - towards Polish people. Perhaps because you are from Canada, where Polonophobia and generally racism hidden under the veneer of the hypocrisy called (incorrectly) 'political correctness' is the worst of all the tens of countries I have been to. As for bringing home 'a black woman, or a black man' (sic), is it an obligatory thing to do? If you don't do it, or refuse to do it, then you are a bad guy? Why? And does it follow that any Black woman and Black man must necessarily bring in home White folks and love them, otherwise they are villains?

I've not experienced racism in Krakow but then I've not been here long.

I'm Chinese Vietnamese brought up in London

- And I experienced racism from both Chinese and Vietnamese when I lived in North America. You guys are racist big time e.g. towards White people, including us, Polish folks.

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

Polish Eating Habits

- Well, the main message of your post is that Polish 'eating habits' are bad, but in spite of this, we generally look healthier - above all slimmer - than some other nations in Europe, including those that preach a lot about healthy diet. So...?

Mr X

- Do you mean he is obese and that many Poles look like him?

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

Smirnoff

- Much praised in ads, but disgusting to drink, to my taste. Some of the real Russian vodka (which Smirnoff isn't), e.g. Stolichnaya, is very good, I must say. Whenever I have vodka (it doesn't happen too often, Scotch - real Scotch, from Scotland, and Irish whiskey, esp. Jameson, being my favs), I reach for either Polish or Russian vodka.

Cheers, my Polish, Irish and Brit brothers.

Starogardzka wódka

- I've never tried this one. But, I expect, it can't be bad; I have never met with any bad Polish vodka. I suspect no Polish vodka can ever be as bad as e.g. Smirnoff.

What do you think, Wroclaw?

Sounds Nice Puzz. Your place or mine? Maybe Neutral?

- Are there any neutral spots nowadays? All's so politicised. Just kiddin.' I should be in Canada in the summer, otherwise we can meet in Poland (Bialystok, for instance?), whenever you're visiting, or in Cork, Ireland. Cheers, mate. I'm really looking forward.

regular Polish Żytnia, Stołowa, or Vistula

- Good stuff too.

I would have to agree. I gave a bottle to some very close friends at Christmas, and hope to receive an invitation to help them crack it open!

- Excellent choice, Shawnie. Maybe one day we'll crack one together?
;)

Sorry i don't speak Polish

- It's never too late to learn, brother. Powodzenia (good luck) with picking out the right vodka.

Which is the best Polish vodka for my dad's birthday??

- I would recommend Belvedere. The bottle is beautiful too - long and thin, with the inward picture of the Warsaw Belweder palace (Baroque style), magnified by the liquid. No to cyk i sto lat!

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

- Show evidence of this alleged 'hatred,' slanderer. It's your hateful slamming of the Polish people here that is the proof of your own savage Polonophobia, racist hypocrite. Disgrace to the nation and culture that has bread you.

Poland is a central European country but if u look at my posting carefully

- I got your point, brother. Sorry, if I sounded a bit harsh; it's not adversity towards you, just my style of talking. No hard feelings.

:)

Germany is not the only country in the EU outside of Poland. I have seen enough Jews in the internet to doubt that they want to live among those evil Poles. Those who battle already many years to got some compensation probably dislike Poland even more.

- Yes, that seems to make sense. Thanks, Lesser.

News / 10,000 ISRAELIS READY TO CLAIM FOR POLISH CITIZENSHIP AND POLISH LAND! [628]

Most of them simply consider western countries more attractive. Like most of those Chechens coming here

- But how do you know this that the Israelis moving in consider 'western countries' (whatever it means) more attractive? I hope you don't base your statement about the Israelis on a reasoning of the sort: 'Since some Chechens consider Germany more attractive to live in than Poland, then Israeli immigrants also consider Germany more attractive to live in than Poland'?

The Western countries have a greater commitment to enforcing human rights agreements

- The 'Western countries' (whatever it should mean) have allegedly 'a greater commitment to enforcing human rights' than who?

I'm kind of sick and tired of asking this question over and over again, but I've got no choice: so you don't consider Poland 'Western', Seamus? Why not?

News / 10,000 ISRAELIS READY TO CLAIM FOR POLISH CITIZENSHIP AND POLISH LAND! [628]

Well, somebody asking questions like "Why are you Poles so anti-Semitic" doesn't sounds too friendly

- Of course not. And it should always be countered with another question, a very pertinent one: 'Why are many of you Jews so virulently Polonophobic?'

And why on earth some of you gang up with German Polonophobes to attack the Poles?

The Jewish Polonophobia is a fact.

Yes indeed, we Polish people have quite a few enemies, but I firmly believe great changes are coming in the world which will result in a complete downfall of our foes and our becoming truly free and safe after over 200 years of oppression. Our bad destiny is coming to en end; our foes' bad destiny is about to affect them very painfully. I would be a liar if I said this upcoming fulfillment of the book is not joyfully anticipated by me. I've seen enough of mistreatment of my people by all sorts of thugs. We're emerging from this clean and morally victorious; they are going hopelessly down. I'll live long enough to see the great finale.

Just a work of advice if you dealing with offices,baanks red tape in Poland "nie posmarujesz nie pojedziesz

- Maybe it was so during communism, but today doesn't seem to be the case. I have never had any experience of this sort in new Poland. Have you, Gosiaa from sydney? If so, share it wih us, please.

Language / "Poles" or "Polish people" - which is better to use? [199]

One minute they hate the Germans and then want to profit from such sales.

- The pig calling itself 'Muckal' hates the Polish people, but sticks to this forum like pig crap, and even plays an expert on things Polish such as Polish language. Needless to say, the pig is totally ignorant about those things. What a mentally confused pig. Why doesn't the great heaven bless the pig with a cancer and finish it off quickly?

No for sure not. I've met many Germans and I can't tell they're Nazis

- You haven't comprehended it right, my smart darling. I meant: aren't you wrong when you're assuming that for me all Germans are Nazis?

I hope you get this one; if still not, I'll attempt to elucidate even further.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

We should boot them out, close our borders and re-establish a fairer Britain for the hard-pressed British now!

- I wouldn't mind all my people to be back in my country, instead of vegetating in yours, where scum like you can abuse them with utter impunity.

Lots of Poles are leaving Britain now. And your government will probably listen to crazies like you and put limits on the number of Poles allowed to work in UK. But instead you'll soon get Chinese and similar folks in their place. Exactly as it happened in Canada in the 90s.

And you won't even squeak against that, stupid creep. You'll be too scared (as you are now) of being put in jail for 'racism.'

Life / Which nations do Poles like the most / the least? [148]

Sorry, but from my personal contacts with educated Polish people I'd say they have a far greater interest in Russian culture than their American counterparts

- I wonder how many such Poles you've met? I wonder if their number is large enough to make generalisations about all Poles? From my own experience - and I can back it up with tons of supporting evidence - many American educated people have a far more admiring attitude towards Russian culture than Poles. Yes, American Russophiles are Russophiles indeed.

Isn't suspicion and fear really the same thing?

- Nope, it doesn't seem to be. - Suspicion denotes thinking ahead and the ability to act in one's defense; fear seems to denote lack of clear thinking and helplessness.

a lot of Poles admire Germans in a weird way

- Can you give any specific examples of this alleged 'weird' admiration? Well, yes, many of us (not me!) admire some of the things they make, such as cars, but you Americans also admire them, don't you? Would you call the American admiration 'weird' too?

Personally, I'm more afraid of my local Polish officials, who can make your life hell at the drop of a hat, than of anything today's Germans could do

- So your suggestion is that the Polish officials can be worse than Nazi Germans? :)

But would you agree that officials in any country, including (and especially) those in the US, can make one's life hell? Would you say that American officals are better in this respect than their Polish counterparts...?

As for our suspicions towards Germany, they are not irrational at all. I can see you don't know them, or perhaps refuse to acknowledge them?

By the way, the German suspicions towards us appear irrational and crazy indeed. It's Polonophobia at its worst. For instance, have you heard about the recent mass hysteria in Germany at the news that Poland and the Czech Republic are to join the Schengen zone on 21 December?

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

the lazy gits that come here and play the system

- I have never hit upon even one such case amongst the hundreds of Poles I've met in both England and Ireland. Are you sure you are posting on the right forum, mate? Shouldn't you rather inquire with some Third World forum?

i see, well that arguement could be turned around easy enough: all non pole immigrants should go back to where they come, shouldn't they?

- Precisely my point.

I was just curious how you tied his response to my quote into an anti-migration position.

- He praised your 'not healthy situation' quote, and before that, in other posts, he postulated that all (?) Poles working in UK should return to Poland.

No hard feelings, man.

recognizing the sadness of a no win situation isn't an arguement against anything is it

- Have I quoted you out of context? Did you actually mean that it is a 'healthy situation' when many people leave their native country to earn their bread in another one?

Take it easy, brother. I'm not here to hurt you in any way. And it's certainly healthy to ask questions, even the most puzzling ones. We're all just human and so we all err - myself included. Please point to me any inconsistencies in my train of logic every time you spot them. Will be grateful for this. Greetings.

Bottom line, it's not a healthy situation when loads of people have to leave there own country just for a fair shake

- You mean it is not a healthy situation that over hundreds of years countless Brits have been leaving Britain for the New World, Australia, New Zealand, etc.?

:)
PS. And yourself, if I'm not mistaken, also are living abroad, aren't you? ;)
