History / Endecja - State Sponsored Anti Semitism 1935 - 1939. [138]

That's funny. If you check American forums you don't read too much about Indian genocide or slavery, same goes to British forums (slavery, Asian Indian genocide) or even if you want to check forums for foreigners in Germany, you don't see a lot of topics about 'CERTAIN' subjects.

But here we are. Polish Forums. And we can read all those subjects of discrimination or racism
(written mostly by Polish Jews who - rough guess- lives in America) even if it's almost non-existent compared to some other 'bright' nations of Europe and New World.

Of course it's got lot to do with out tolerance and our commitment for freedom of speech (try to post on Jewish forums messages on a weekly basis about extermination of Palestinian people by Jews and you'll see how fast admin can act ;-])

How do I know that? Cause I know a few Jewish people, whose ancestors used to live in Poland and their attitude towards Poles and Poland.

Of course now my post will be covered with 'white noise' ;-]

Polonia / What similarities would you say there are between Poles and Mexicans? [132]

Moustache! :-D

I'm Polish but I could never understand why would anyone like to wear moustache?

Maybe I'm just to young to understand that :-)

Life / As EuroPride visits Warsaw - is it the start of overdue social change in Poland? (homosexuality promotion) [144]

Fortunately both presidential candidate - Kaczynski, and the president - Komorowski are against gay 'marriages' and gay children adoption. We'll have enough time to wait and see how this 'progress' goes for the western countries and we won't make the same mistake I hope (this approach does work with Euro currency).

Life / As EuroPride visits Warsaw - is it the start of overdue social change in Poland? (homosexuality promotion) [144]

As EuroPride visits Warsaw- is this the start of overdue social change?

Of course.

Next year we all are going to parade with bare bottom.

Children and elders, straight and queers, black and white, and Priests and a Hasidic Jews of course, right wing and leftists.

It's going to be a hell lot of fun :-)

And you know why? Because its very modern and all those fancy western Europeans would envy us that we are in the avant garde of the European civilization LMAO

Some people should know when civilization is in regress...

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [612]

Amathyst

Nice ;-)

But what I meant is an ethnic ghetto (I guess Jews had a right to choose their place of living in the country of freedom and democracy, or were they compelled there?):

"..Other ethnic ghettos were the Lower East Side in Manhattan, New York, which, until the 1990s, was predominantly Jewish..." (same source)

And of course I understand that Jews were conditioned this way through the centuries of separation. But we are talking about facts here - not a moral judgement.

The answer to your second question:

Not sure if the Muslim population in France consists of Algerians only, but yes.
Let's say: all the French citizens of Arabic or/and Persian descent that happens to be Muslims :-)

"...The Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים‎), also known as the Jewish people, are a nation and ethnoreligious group originating in the Israelites or Hebrews of the Ancient Near East. The Jewish ethnicity, nationality, and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation..." Wiki

So yes, as far as Jews are concerned - religion is a nationality.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [612]

LOL

all those domestic historians..;-)

Jews are generally very close society (see: [Ghetto]) so they didn't mix a lot with the rest of population and if they did - it happened mostly in the big cities.

They lived mostly in a large cities (with some exceptions of course - there were small towns populated mostly or only with Jews) and the most of Poles lived in small towns and rural areas before the World War II.

So, Jews were tolerated in Poland (not like in the 'European' countries that wants to teach us tolerance nowadays ;-)) but not to the extent that there were some kind of massive race mixing in Poland (besides like a said before Jews in Poland were a close society those days).

But I agree, some Poles have Jewish ancestors and some are Polonized Jews but they still consider themselves to be Poles (how many Turks in Germany truly consider themselves to be Germans? Or Muslims in France to be French? ;-))

Law / How much does the average Pole have in cash savings? [38]

Yup, I'm gonna buy a beer six-pack. It will increase in value when temperature goes high :-)

Nasty, but it's very likely.

Life / SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT POLAND AND POLISH SOCIETY [297]

In one of the previous posts Sun and Moon mentioned the condition of Polish public toilets...well, I live in London and I have to say that British public toilets are the mess. Of course if you find one that is. Most of the time you have to use the toilet in the nearest pub.

One more think - I used to rent a room in a Polish house with Polish family in northern part of London. Every room, kitchen, toilet in the house was extremely clean.

I couldn't say the same think about a British house where I used to live with Britons in the west London.

Law / How much does the average Pole have in cash savings? [38]

Not much. I live from hand to mouth. Studying and part-time working. My current savings are about £250, heh

Food / WHY IN POLAND PEOPLE DON'T USE ICE? [142]

Ice ice ice ice ice with spam and with ice ice ice...

I prefer to keep my beer and beverages in the fridge instead of watering them down with ice.

History / The Grunwald Battle: Today is 600th anniversary of the greatest medieval battle. [66]

More than 100 000 spectators on this years Battle over Grunwald staging. I think it's a sound idea to make a new movie about it cause the last one is 50 years old now and not that impressive to be honest.

Love / All the good Polish men for dating are taken? [111]

Dunno. I fancy girls :-]

aha, and I'm not good as well :o)

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]


Funny, I think you live in dark ages then. I don't think they are possessed.

Homosexuality (Sodomy) it just an abbreviation from a norm; this happens in the nature, but it's stable in every generation/population with a little abbreviations (abbreviations from general abbreviation that

is :-]) of course (5% for gays like I said before, some scientist stating even less like : 2-3% for example. Some gay organizations on the other had thinks that we are all gays hiding in the closet and oppressing the other geys ;-D).

According to American Academy of Pediatrics it's caused by genetic, hormonal and environmental factors (most claim that the genetic factor is the strongest one). Well, we may call the genetic factor a genetic mutation.

We could divide mutations into two major categories: successful and unsuccessful.
Gays belong to the second category cause they can't reproduce while doing their 'normal' sexual activities.

Don't get me wrong - apart from the urge to penetrate the other males anus gay are perfectly normal :-]. There's nothing wrong with their intelligence or manual skills.

Check those forums, you may find it interesting:
biology-online.org/biology-forum/about14772.html

Like I said before: live and let live. Nature will correct it all eventually.
You don't have to spoil my appetite explaining your sexual activities or parading in the center of the city. Just do whatever you want in your bedroom.

BTW: you've spelled Polish with small letter twice in your post :-]

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]

Man. it seems that you all got a polish gay friends. Even more than one that is :-].

And the sources indicate that average ratio of sodomites in population oscillates around 5%...it's good that we didn't started conversation about paedophiles thought.

imagine:

"..I've got like 3 paedo friends who often says..."
or
"...for may paedo friend Poland seems to be so conservative country..."

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]


Well, first of all being gay isn't normal (relationship of a man and woman can give a birth to a new life and that's the essence of life) but it shouldn't be bullied or discriminate. Live and let live. Secondly, as a heterosexual I live quit life and I do not chat loudly in public about my sex life - then why gays must do that and participate in mass gay parades?

Work, create art or/and fashion, write a books, plant a trees, ride a bike, drink some wine, do whatever you want in your bedroom (and you don't have to share it with the rest of the world if it doesn't won't to listen) . Do you have to corrupt our children minds and destroy an European civilisation to make a point? Believe me - Muslims won't be so tolerant.

History / The Grunwald Battle: Today is 600th anniversary of the greatest medieval battle. [66]

Yeah? Then think about Wizna or Westerplatte if you find it hard to believe.

We are vicious bastards when attacked, heh

Anyway, there can be many speculations, some cool advert of this year reconstruction:



They should make a full-length movie out of this :-]

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

Why are those minorities live on my expense? (government takes money from my taxes to give some of those African families that don't do nothing but breed)

OK, I'm a fuckin racist because I openly stated the truth that many of my English friends won't say out loud [but they sure do not hesitate to share it with me] because they are too hypocritical. Besides, you and Americans owe them something (slavery etc.) we and the rest of eastern Europeans don't.

I live enough time in London to recognize a sweat taste of mendacity (thank you Paul :-])

I love Britain but to live here you have to get used to false and hypocrisy.

History / Lusatian-Sarmatic obsession of Poles [153]

I can proudly call myself a Pole, even if I like to eat a lot of bratwurst/kielbasa/sausage prepared by my grandmother (small nobility banished from Lithuania by bolsheviks)

[honest question - is sausage was first made in Poland or Germany?]

Do you think we are closer relatives to Serbians and Balkans or to Germans?

Or maybe any other options? I, for example, know a few Slovakians, even Hungarians from Slovakia and Lithuanians that speak fluent Polish and they're identifing with polish culture.

What's your opinion?

PS: yes, I already know your opinion Brathwurst Boy and yours Crow, let others speak :-]

History / Why Poles love Russia [105]

There's a difference between Russia and USRR. USSR murdered more russians than poles (of course Katyn is a genocide and a terrible mass murder on Polish nation) to be honest. USSR was a worst enemy of Russia and russians (WWII - unequipped cannon fodder, syberia, gulags, femine, mass murders) than of Poland. So we should all hate USSR and blosheviks but we don't have to hate each other.

Love / Do you think that Polish should stick to Polish? [128]

Of course you should. All pretty Polish ladies should stick to me.
Forget Irish - when I'm drunk with whiskey I speak English with Irish accent (as I've been told)
When I'm stoned with a pot on the other hand - I sound more like a Jamaican.
So like you see I'm the best choice for you in terms of a lover or even - lets say it straight - a sex machine.

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

Respond or not respond? This is a question.

Respond. Yes always leads to something good ;-]

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

I put stick into a hornet's nest :-]
That wasn't my intention, I just simply stated an obvious truth that English chicks tent to be fat (ok, not fat then, lets call it corpulent). And I prefer slim girls. End of the story. One day maybe I'll find slim and graceful English girl and then I'll post a rectification.

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

It's difficult to say. All my life I've been dating Polish girls only.
My brother, however, is dating English woman, and I have to admit that I'm not her biggest fan (to make things even funnier she openly admits that most of English men are hopeless).

Celtic girls are of my taste. They have more grace and they're less likely to grow fat in their 30's :-].
