Life / Can someone tell me about the reason behind being gay in Poland being wrong [148]

To all those jumping on Poland again: Poland is no different if not better when it comes to tolerance of different sexual orientations, and that is despite any religious affiliations. Unlike close minded people in many other countries Polish can think for themselves and yet maintain religious ties, something that people in other countries are unable to do, examples include Islamic states and Israel as well as many western countries, for them it is either religion or tolerance, then can not marry the the two the way we in Poland can. Also, in western countries homosexuals are not tolerated, only openly their sexuality is not discussed in negative fashion but behind closed doors the hatred of average westerner towards gay person is greater than any of that in Poland, fake western facade, that is all it is, not tolerance.

Life / Polish culture versus rotten West [279]

It is said to see how the descendants of the the great Slavic people have degraded themselves over the course of history by succumbing to the pressure of the westerners to adopt Western cultural ideals. We are still Slavs, let it not be forgotten!!! We are not westerners and thankfully we never will be, however, we are altering our identity too much to adjust to the culture of the West.

We criticize our Polish behaviour and social structures in light of the Western life-style from r laws, rights, religion to the way we walk, talk, eat and make express ourselves emotionally, yet we fail to see that there is no perfect standard and certainly it is not represented by the West.

Love / What are the most popular wedding songs in Polish? [13]

JesteÅ› szalona
OMG. It is a redneck song.

Redneck song? Another phakap. It is the right song and I'd say the best one for a Polish wedding. As for someone adding my cyganie and the rest well it is ok but a wedding one? Is this a joke?

History / How I blew a 6 figure grant for my charity because of my appreciation of Polish history... [77]

A Jew has no reason to say a bad thing about Polish person because we are nice to Jews we let them run a country within our country. However, if only the part about good, positive attitude of Jews towards Polish was true in a case other than the one involving Yehudi's friendsy the way, After Jews got confident enough (which didn't take them long - btw) they proceeded to take over the most important elements of our society, namely the media to spread their propaganda, the properties, the financial sector, the entrirtainment (most radio, stations and movie directors are Jewish), the government positions (later on), the fabrics, the medical sector, the universities to a large degree. So yes, they can only than us and should be nice but we, on the other hand, have a right to be ****** at them to the point of white fever. I have not mentioned what they did to us during the seventh century of course - the murders and butchery.

Life / Traditions in a Polish Home [10]

Correct Lenka. You can bring flowers - yes, chocolates - yes and also a cake or cookies but more expensive ones or presentable ones. And yes, we take our shoes off although generally no one really asks you to do that (I do, I give guests new clean slippers to wear) but you are expected to take them off. Of course you take your own shoes off as well, I don't know of anyone in Poland who walks around their house with shoes on despite the cold weather and nowdays lack of central heaters here and there as it used to be during communist and early capitalist revival years (energy bill went up like a rocket recently!).

Classifieds / D&D Group for Expats in Warsaw needs one more player... [69]

Maybe I am a bit simple and for sure very old-fashioned...but this is sooo artificial. We meet up with our friends for a beer, for dinner, for a walk in £azienki.No role playing. For that one I have a good book and a cold beer in the Old Town.But again, maybe I am totally oldfashioned :(

Yes, that's boring! And where is vodka??? Except that walking can increase your GABA levels so if you are anxious or depressed walking is for you. Why do you drink bear? Since when we started drinking bear so much?

History / RAAF aircrew who died during the Warsaw Rising [8]

This is a bit unfortunate: it seems that one of the RAAF men buried in Krakow was murdered after being taken prisoner by a German security man and a Polish railway policeman:

Few corrections, the Polish railway policeman was a Polish Jew - Stanislaw Krakowski, yes , yes Harry a little education in history would help, not to mention that "Krakowski" is a very popular Polish surname among Jews. Most of the police at the time were Jewish and so were the ones in Krakow and Warsaw Ghetto. Jews were more terrified of Polish Jews than of Polish non-Jews because the former ones were known to be absolutely cruel wanting to appease Germans.

Life / Have you wonder how to recognise a Polish person on the street? [21]

As I mentioned before, most (not all, but most) of Polish people who arrived, especially to London, didn't speak English and didn't have any education. They came from small cities or villages. Very often such people didn't have good behaviour. They only wanted to drink and smoke with minimum work and maximum fun.

English are so stiff, I would bore myself to death in England

UK, Ireland / London is Poland's 24th largest city [78]

OK, there are all sorts of assertions made on here about Poles in the UK so I thought it may be helpful to post up some primary-source data. Some of this will prove counter-intuitive for those fond of stereotypes.

Haha finally! These figures are not surprising to me at all, English enjoy!

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2708]

talking modern politics? right? is there a chance of tyranny right now? if attacked from foreign angle I wonder how supportive EU would be?

I agree with Barney, when time comes we will stand up and defend ourselves, if we have enough of tyranny we will overthrow it, and we don't need guns for that, government guns wouldn't stop us if we really wanted to take government.

As for the comment by Rysavy all I can say is that Polish people can defend themselves better than any other group of people I know.Normally we say this with modesty but I see that on this forum it does not work, most western people misinterpret Polish modesty as incompetence. So I say again, we are always well equipped to defend ourselves well. We are not French, we don't listen to our government and watch our country fall down and not do anything, in crisis we rise as a nation together and no one needs to tell us what to do because we know what needs to be done, we need to defend our nation, with any means possible. Owning a gun by Polish civilians has got nothing to do with our ability to defend ourselves against foreign powers.

There are different ways of fighting tyranny. Take the banking system for instance, those who own banks have the world's politicians in their pocket, the best way to weaken their influence over governments is to stop using the banking system, withdraw many from the bank, deprive them of income and those greedy filthy creatures will not have a foot to stand on. Besides, the most powerful enemies of people are the invisible ones, those who hide in the shadows, many bank owners belong to that group as well as rich families who own media, estates and financial sectors around the world, in most cases they are Jewish but not only. Many Polish businessmen as well as politicians and Polish Jews belong to those invisible groups. I bet they come out of shadows when public raises and then they make mistakes, we don't need guns to flash them out, just smart ideas.

ZIMMY: People have a right to bear arms and to defend themselvesIn Poland?No. They don't. Nor is there any mass movement wanting such 'rights'.

Jon is right but he put it rather awkwardly; we, Polish people, have a right to defend ourselves but whether it is this type of weapon or another does not make a difference, as I explained in my previous post. Besides, we don't have a history of people running around with guns on the streets, it would awake killing instincts in many people, it would also make police work that much dangerous, what a stupid idea. There is no movement in Poland postulating any gun ownership rights, we are not interested, we never were. So those of you who keep ranting about it, get a grip, we do not need to all a sudden copy everything others do, this gun owning nonsense included.

[quote=ZIMMY]You agree with the above tyrants yet you disagree with this guy: """A free people ought to be armed." – George Washington

Yes, free people can do anything don't they? What free people? So you are not truly free until you own a gun? Aha. If one is so free why does one need a gun in the first place? Would you also like those "free" people to carry other weapons as well? Weapons like lasers maybe? As if we didn't have enough weapons already, people kill each other in most imaginery ways and you want to improve the situation by allowing people to kill each other in an even more efficient manner? I don't think we need more or more efficient weapons like guns, which instead of protecting will create chaos. You think only responsible people will get their hands on the guns?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2708]

[quote=AmerTchr]And it's your country so that's great that you live somewhere you are comfortable.I am a little curious about your point about everything being "close". I would expect your crime rates in cities to be higher than in small villages and rural areas. While people on ranches and farms tend to have weapons for rodents and hunting needs, violent crimes and murders particularly tend to be higher in "close" conditions as well.I would also observe that the Poles I talk to do not seem very trusting of each other or at least no more so than any citizen of any other country where I have lived.

That's my very point, we don't need guns in Poland.

As for me living in another country it's another matter, life is more complicated for us Polish.

Talking is not enough then, you have come to Poland sometimes and see how people behave and live. There will be mistrust but there are situations when you can still feel fine as compared to many western countries where it is not safe, it is a country of many contrasts.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2708]

98 days since Newtown. 2,243 more dead. A 9 year old boy in the twin-cities. A 22 year-old mother not far from the Aurora Massacre. Killed with legally obtained weapons and ammunition. 2,243 dead SINCE Newtown, and America has learned very little. What have you learned?

Dude, Poland is not USA, our crime scene is different. Just quietly, America is a continent with countries like Mexico, Peru etc., USA is a country, are you referring to the entire continent or your country?

Basically we don't need those laws in Poland, there are few living in secluded areas, everything is close, people still, amazingly, trust each other (for how long?) guns would only make people paranoid like nothing else, it's a sick idea, it's for sickos and cowards, we should never allow gun laws to pass. Jasonmzk for the first time in his life is right but he makes wrong comparisons and the mention of kids....hmmm

Oh, okay. So what's an acceptable number of juvenile homicides for you? Give me a number. And I'm obsessed with my kid's safety? Yeah, I should hope so. You're obsessed with Jews, but do you have any that you're responsible for?

The way you structured your response seems like I ignored juvenile gun related deaths or injuries, well I didn't I merely responded to you one sided rambling about kids and guns as if only kids could be victims of guns and that would be the single reason for disallowing the possession of guns by civilians in Poland. In other words, if kids were not to effected by guns then it would be ok to have guns right? That is your argument. Even if it wasn't your intension to make it so, it looks like it because of your comments.

Myassf*cking goalis to keep kids safe and gun-related deaths to a minimum. What's your agenda? To make sure that every single person that wants one can have a gun, any time, any where? Yeah, okay. Every gun used to murder a kid was heldin private hands. And which is it, I'm a psychopath, or a sociopath for trying to keep killing machines away from people like you? A sociopath wouldn't care.

Haha, looks like it, I didn't expect that 1. I am against guns too but what is this obsession with kids?? Gee, Such focus is narrow and disturbing, it is mostly youth and young adults who actually fall victims of gun related violence more that any other group and elderly are unfortunately attacked with armed weapon quite often too and he is talking about kids, yeah, we know Jason you have a kid, you told everyone - nice to know - but so do millions of people, nothing special. I think it's some kind of obsession, not a healthy 1 either.

Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]

Thanks in advance for any feedback about teaching in Poland.

What kind of degree do you have? Bachelor or master? You may struggle depending on the degree type or rank and the duration of your studies. Also, experience from overseas is very much welcome, that is your big advantage now but, your experience does not match your qualification on paper, it that it? If that is the case, then you may struggle, better first try calling agencies and places of work and also try applying online from where you are to get an idea of what your chances are, otherwise if you come first to Poland and then look for work you may find that you wasted your time and money. Also, you may be welcomed but at the same time some people may not welcome you with open arms as unemployment in Poland jumped to 30% and people will be angry to find out that on top of it all a foreigner gets a job instead of native Polish, so better consider these issues first.

Thus, women of Poland and around the world remember to vote socialism next time.

Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [35]

@bwaj

I think you consider ethnicity a thing of genetics, but ethnicity is a mixture of elements, even Jews did not originate as Jews as such, they were pagans in the first place and affiliated with their particular pagan tribes, that was their ethnicity. They say that the first Jew was Abraham, but Abraham was not born Jewish, he was not born to Jewish mum or dad, at some point in life he adopted Jewish religion and thus became a Jew just like any other Jew born or converted to judaism; hence in Polish we would write about him using capital letters: Zyd a nie zyd. Hence, Jewishness was not magically held down but created by humans, by pagans (whether Jews like the truth or not, their ethnic origin is pagan not Jewish). Ethnicity is a matter of how far back in time we are prepared to move. So someone born in Poland to parents who were also born in Poland but who call themselves Jews is ethnically Jewish, pagan or Polish? I think, our ethnic background refers to how much of a particular culture our parents and not grandparents (that's going too far back) have absorbed into their daily living and how it has affected them and how they truly feel. What is funny is that Jews think that if a mother is Jewish then even if the father was Polish, it does not matter, the child is exclusively Jewish, well that is like saying that Jewish so called spirit or ethnicity takes over all other ethnicities, this mentality ignores other spirits or ethnicities and it is a false assumption, it is like saying that Jewish ethnicity lives on and others magically die out in the new born, hmmmmm, it borders on racism to me, and at best a fairy tale. Do Jews really think that Jewish ethnicity dominates magically over other ethnicities? Did their pagan ethnic background also magically disappeared?

My point is that a child born in Poland to Jewish parents who do not speak Hebrew or Yiddish and who do not attend any synagogs and who eat ham even occasionally and who speak Polish and watch Polish television and read Polish books and eat Polish food and go to Polish schools and do it all all or for most of their lives and who only call themselves Jewish because some Rabbi said you are Jewish after your Jewish mother, then what can we say to that except laugh and say that the child has an ethnic Polish background and is herself or himself exclusively Polish.

Lenka, I agree with you but Jews can not shove Jewishness into their new born children, it is then artificial, for true identity to form you need a nation which surrounds you, unless you are a rat and able to go deep deep underground and hide all your life. It is unnatural what Jewish Rabbis are doing but their power is wilting now, the only true Jews live in Israel, the rest are just artificially created and think that they are part of something big and united, right! I suggest reality check for them. It's like our Polish Nergal, all his life he felt Polish but all of a sudden someone tells him he has Jewish ancestors and now he is first and foremost Jewish?? HAHAHA, what a joke! Can anyone not see how absurd that is? I guess his Polish pride had to give way to Jewish pride just because someone told him that he has Jewish ancestors, I guess he all a sudden become someone totally different at heart, is that what people are prepared to believe or is it the wishful thinking of the Jews or more some Jewish Rabbis who profit financially from the whole Jewish community prospering??

Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [35]

Lenka

You are right Lenka but who do think promoted the Silesian separatist movement? Germans of course, they wanted the land of Silesia for themselves but what they did not count on was the strong Slavic presence in the region and the stand the slavic people put up against the separation, Germans were fuelling it along with the Jewish population in Silesia but the Slavic people were too strong and I suspect a some percentage of assimilated and polonaised Germans wanted Silesia to remain in Poland, so Jewish and German efforts of separating us failed, but with Tusk in power at the moment and his efforts of appeasing Germans we may again have to struggle to keep Silesia, it is not Silesians it is Germans and our crooked government who are trying to cut Poland into pieces again.

As for the Jews who call themselves Polish as well, well so they should, shouldn't they? After all they were born in Poland, but notice one thing: they only do that to identify which region they are from and they always call themselves Polish Jews, never Jewish Polish or Jewish Poles (grammatically better), which signifies that they regard themselves first and foremost as Jews, the rest is only secondary, but it should be the opposite, well, that is not a real identity anyway, they are just fooling themselves, it is a desperate wishful thinking of the Jewish Rabbis to maintain control of the Jewish group. In order to remain in such state the Jews create an unhealthy nationalistic attitude of sticking together at whatever the cost to anyone from the outside, e.g.: if a Jewish person commits a crime against a non-Jew then it is hidden from media or twisted around to make it look like the villain was the non-Jew and the victim surprise, surprise the Jew! Just one example. The bottom line is, those Polish Jews feel Jewish before anything else.
