Life / Being a Jew in modern-day Poland; Israeli Jew who is of Polish descent [269]
Kartofel,we need to remember,no more than we need to remember anyone who did anything wrong during the war,But to dwell or emphasize the few,inveritably leads to perpetual nonsense and unproductive anger.I'm just saying that if you go to Poland,to be mindful of that,is all,not an attack.

Kartofel,you may want to consider how you talk about the death camps,or saying no matter the history.if you know history,then you know that Germany placed the camps there,and that a lot of Polish people died in the camps too.It comes off as if you are suggesting that Poland took an active part in this,You do know that Poland was occupied by Germany,right?

News / The US sends troops to Poland for drills [83]
The US as set a very small contingency thus far,Though it seems a token measure,I think it is indicative of future plans.Tymoshenko is calling for EU membership.I do believe that if Putin tries to roll through the Ukraine,that there will be war.I think that he understands this very well,and is why he has shown restraint,But I think that Putin is somewhat of a wild card,and we can't assume that he won't just roll through.I think in some ways he underestimates the US.Our military industrial complex is itching for this,especially after being shutdown in Syria.My hope is that Putin doesn't go this route.

I wonder if this kid was on psychotropic drugs as well.This seems to be a common thread with all these massacres.I'd bet that he was.Are all these psychotropic drugs pushed on Polish children,like they are on American children?I'd bet not.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]
Harry,so Harry you're comparing the posters here to people who used the n word 120 years ago,essentially your saying that they are using a pretty heavy racial slur when they use "Murrzyn",but don't realize that this is the case,or are you in essence,saying that like120 years in America,and (only in this respect)that the term is indeed acceptable?This is kind of confusing,is the word a racial slur,or not?I would think that the people here would know this.

Jon357,so you are saying that there are valid comparisons between that word and the N word.No one finds the N word acceptable at all,it is used to offend,and is a heavy slur.So I don't see how any comparison to it can be valid.But like I said before I would find it very hard to believe that the posters here wouldn't know if the word was acceptable,now if at least one of them here agreed with you,then I could think that you might be correct.

I know this Jon,I understand that,But that is not what I was asking about.I seen people say that the word is not used or taken that way,and from what I gather,it certainly can't be compared to that other word.What I'm getting from them here,is that you can use the word,and that it is not bad.

John357,what do you mean by you all do?they are saying that the term itself is not offensive.Granted you could make it that way,depending on tone and such.But certain words no matter how you say it will be taken only one way.Do you maintain that this word is one of those?

LOL good answer Harry ;) right,so your suggesting that Lenka as well as some of the others on here would fall in the category of those who would not know that that term is obviously a heavy racial slur,if you're comparing it to the n word and the way it was used in the south in the 60's.I don't see how she or the others on here would not know this.Not with the access they have to information that they didn't have back then.

This is why I hate political correctness,words that were never perceived,or meant as racist,become so,because of a few control freaks,who decide that they don't like the word.

Love / Rejected - Rafal thought I was ugly? [85]
Uglywoman,well you were able to assess his personality and figure out what you liked about him,based on limited interaction,so it would not be far fetched for him to figure out that you may not be his type.I.m not saying that this is the reason..just a possibility.The other possibility is that the attraction is just not there,and it doesn't have to have anything to do with looks.I wouldn't read too much into it either way.If he doesn't come around....then move on.
