Life / Polish history as a school subject in western Europe [24]

imitated excellent Polish ham cans

Good to know that somebody out there is checking cans of ham.

But,as for formal education, Poland has played very little part in our History,culture or anything else so its not surprising its not taught about in schools.

Glad to hear. What about King Sobieski and his fight against the Ottomans who tried to conquer Austria and move further on ? But my point isn't that you should know every detail about Poland, just a basic knowledge about the countries in the east, since we are in the same union now.

Life / Polish history as a school subject in western Europe [24]

I was born and raised in England and all I was taught in school about Poland was how "easily" we were invaded at the start of WW2 and how we all became communists after the war.

That's my point. The danes even claim that they had all the brave fighters during the WW2... Really ?

But again, people are mocking Poland/eastern Europe because of ignorance.

Oh, yes, sorry me! But to be honest, I tend to associate Vikings with today`s Norway or Sweden. :):)

Well it was the danish vikings who invaded half of England back then, but okay Sweden and Norway gets the price.

It works the other way too. Polish students know nothing about Denmark unless:

I don't care how much you know about Denmark, but correct me if I'm wrong, you did hear something about the French revolution, Spain and England right ? And that gave you a picture of those countries today, where they are from and where they are today. Or did they only teach you about Poland, the Russian revolution and Yugoslavia ?

Well I hope you heard something about some vikings.

But don't you think its wrong that danish students doesn't know anything about eastern europe, and therefor can not relate to a big part of the continent ?

In advance, I apologize for my spelling mistakes, but hope you bear with it because the english language is not something I use daily.

But I have a question for you who grew up in western europe.
Did you have anything about Poland or eastern europe in your history class during school?

I grew up with the Danish school system, and none of my history classes taught eastern european history. I can, after many years only note that the same thing is going on today.

I am interested in how to integrate Europe, if we exclude such an important teaching about each other? Or is it only the Danish school system that still live in the cold war, since they stay behind the berlin wall.. ?

Life / Why is Prostitution still legal in Poland? [106]

Prostitution needs to be outlawed in full, otherwise the pimps and traffickers will have a legal loophole in the law.

Exactly. Just look at Sweden, it's not a crime to offer sex, but it's a crime to buy it. And what does the Police in Sweden say about it ? - That there is still prostitution and there is even more women on the streets now.

But why do people want to make it illegal ?

Life / Why are Polish people so obsessed with race? [160]

it was a case of it not being right to mix races in the sense of white and black , Asian, Arab etc.

I think it was last year, that The Faroe Islands had a problem with a special disease, which arose due to inbreeding. Meaning the people in Faroe Islands slept to much with each other, which created a weakness in the genes or something.

So, maybe we should mix the races.. Just a thought..
