Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [250]

Rich, what is the title of the thread? Why does Dirk have to turn everything into a (seemingly) narcotic fuelled rant about Sub Saharan Africans?

What is the name of the forum? who was the thread about?

Well done. Maybe you have similar obsessions, I don't know. There are other websites that might be more to your...tastes.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [250]

exactly. Look at the title of the thread...it's about Polish people, because it's a Polish forum. Spike showed us an interesting map, there was a comparison with Irish people in the UK, (diaspora, Catholic, single working men, possible racial bias)...then the value of IQ tests was touched upon, along with cultural bias...all reasonable discussion, right?

Then Dirky has to come along and start spouting off about the stupidity of Africans..having failed to grasp the point of the discussion completely, as well as show off about his (frankly average) IQ score..

I expect he has now gone to chop out some more lines.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [250]


you simply cannot take in valid points that people make can you, without having to deafly rattle on about your little obsessions?
you just sound thick, tbh. (108 is slightly above average if you want to know) Anyone who bangs on about their IQ scores is a bit of an idiot, IMO. (and before you start on what mine might have been when it was tested, let's just say you wouldn't have got into my school..:)

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [250]

'in advanced Western societies' well you said it, Maf.
IQ tests are very good at testing...how good someone is at IQ tests...:D

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [250]

well IQ tests have been fairly discredited tbh, due to cultural bias. However, no one nation is 'stupid' , in fact it's a 'stupid' thread isn't it? Polish people are smart, that is why they cracked Enigma.

There used to be lots of jokes here in the UK about the 'stupid' Irish. Possibly that was because the single men that came over to build the roads and canals weren't that educated. Or it could be that the English are racist , who knows. Used to **** me off though. These days you don't hear Irish jokes, well, only from stupid people...:):)

no I am talking about white English people, mainly.

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

yes here in Wales there are heaps of English white folk from London. .(and .even a few black ones)The funny thing is, they complain about 'the immigrants' that they had to run away from, refuse to learn Welsh in a very sneery way, and don't see the irony of their position....

Mind you I shouldn't complain being a white folk from London myself..(at least I went to Welsh classes)

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

well said Milo. I am sure I am not alone in being sick of Dirk banging on about Muslims in the UK. No there are not 'Sharia courts' that over-ride the law of the land. No there are not 'no go' areas. Yes , police are armed. FFS they carry sub machine guns these days. YOu would have to be blind, stupid or to not have been in the UK for years, to have not noticed. it is mostly in response to whatever shite America has stirred up worldwide, as usual.

As you say, Tower Hamlets , whatever it is like, has none of the danger of pitsville suburban America, and Dirk knows it. That is why he cant stay away from the place.

He is a tool. and an uneducated ignorant one , at that.

I mean, personally I joined this forum to chat to others about Poland, you know, culture, language, maybe cuisine. Not to listen to idiots like Dirk going on about Muslims in the UK. I don't know why he doesn't simply feck orf to stormfront.com or similar.

I have no idea why the owners of this site tolerate the semi literate rantings of someone who is clearly unbalanced. <shrugs>

he is too thick to grasp what has been pointed out to him , the UK is a post colonial society, and thus has its own hangover from this. This is also why Dirk speaks English, after a fashion.

Poland has never had colonies, therefore would never have the same issues. I have no idea why he thinks it might.
Some people are thick as pig shite.

News / "It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]

a bit like Britain and Ireland perhaps? apparently we are so mixed up that if every Brit who was entitled to an Irish passport, got one, and went back, Ireland would sink.

I have noticed that Septics view that very simplistically too, saying stuff like 'you guys hate the Irish. right?' ..(answer..er no, I don't "hate" half my family, you tool).

News / "It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]


that's right, like my ex's grandmother from Dusseldorf - it seems unclear whether she was Polish or German...

News / "It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]


LOL that is quite ironic.
as I understood it, its not so much that Black people were invited to America, more that they were forcibly shipped in chains, lying in their own s'hit, for profit, and forced to work for nothing, picking cotton and so on.

Oh you really don't get irony do you?

If I were in charge I would ship out anyone who cant live without checks from their parents.

Applied Linguistics..:) No need to get offended, Iron, it's just a discussion.

I have no wish to stop anyone talking. don't be silly. I just think we should all be more aware of the implications of certain words.

I don't think I am directing at the wrong people, but exactly the right ones. Ones that might actually listen to what I am saying, and respond by thinking more about their words next time. BB is OK.

I didn't accuse you of anything , BB. I was just pointing out that your choice of words usually refers to insects...

ha! we should do 'intercambio'. How would you say that in German?

News / "It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]


of course not, that is why I am pointing it out. Do you not think the power of words is interesting?
Personally I always thought you had a very high level of English, BB. I am not accusing you of anything, btw.

News / "It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]


no, not at all. Personally I think word choice is very important, very telling. But then as I already said, I am a linguist.

Take for example, that very famous speech by Winston Churchill (we will fight them on the beaches...etc) Every single word was carefully chosen by his speech writers, and every single word was Germanic based (eg the language of the people) except for the only French based word (the language of the ruling classes) which was 'surrender'.

See what I mean?

News / "It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]

Rich Mazur, you are 'human garbage'.

That is why you have to say stuff like this, as it's the only way you can get any attention.

You are a sad lonely old man, probably sitting there in your dirty underpants wondering why nobody in real life likes you.
