Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

Oh for goodness sake guys. I can see this arguement will never end.
I've never known that word to be used in a racist context. (I don't think such a word is racist in itself).
I'm not quite sure why some non-native speakers are desperate to convince the forum that that word is racist, it seems a little bit strange.

If anyone new to forum is reading this, then listen to the native-speakers of Polish. ;)
The foreigners have got this one wrong (but are too stubborn and too egocentric to ever admit it) ;)

Life / Do Poles have a problem understanding American English? [76]



Sorry dude but Paulina is right.
You do make plenty of basic mistakes in Polish grammar, I know because I make them too ;)
Before you start criticising Poles' approach and ability to speak English properly you should remember how few non-Poles can speak Polish correctly (that includes you).

I'd agree with the opinion that most Poles are very modest and even critical about their own ability to speak and understand English.
I really don't know what type of Poles you're meeting on a daily basis, but from my own experience in the UK and in Poland I'd say that your experiences aren't very representative of Polish people at all.

I'm not sure why you cannot accept this. Are you just here to troll and belittle others?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]




More right-wing drivel...

Poland doesn't want to experience all the Sandy Hook, Columbine and Virginia Tech massacres that are so prevalent in US.

Keep your guns and your brainwashed right-wing BS out of Poland.

Polish partisans would have loved to have more guns during the years 1939-1945.[/quote]
poland would have loved not to be invaded simutaneously by two superpowers. Fortunately, it's not the 1930's and times have changed.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Plenty of stats have been posted on the US gun-nut thread; try looking there.

Here's an article for you to look at:

U.S. Has More Guns - And Gun Deaths - Than Any Other Country, Study Finds

The United States has more guns and gun deaths than any other developed country in the world, researchers found.
A study by two New York City cardiologists found that the U.S. has 88 guns per 100 people and 10 gun-related deaths per 100,000 people - more than any of the other 27 developed countries they studied.

Japan, on the other hand, had only .6 guns per 100 people and .06 gun-related deaths per 100,000 people, making it the country with both the fewest guns per capita and the fewest gun-related deaths.

They concluded that more guns do not make people safer.

David Hemenway, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health who specializes in injury research and is considered one of the top gun violence researchers in the country, said the there's "no question" that the relationship between guns and gun deaths is real.

"It shouldn't be really a surprise to people," Hemenway said.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Poland has a national army and is a member of NATO, so that arguement is out.
They also don't have a serious gun problem with dozens of nut-jobs murdering children and teachers every year.
I don't think any sane person would want to change the gun laws to make the country less safe.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Poland currently does not have a gun problem - if it ain't broke, why 'fix' it?
If Poles want to live in a country with 10,000 gun-related homicides a year, they can just move to the States...

1) go to a 24-hour petrol station.
2) Buy food.
3) Smacznego :P

or
4) Try to get an invite to an acquaintance's Vigilia supper :D

or 5) book a ticket back to Syria for Christmas - pretty darn quick :D

yh, buy yourself a mars bar and a packet of crisps :P

You should be able to buy beer and fags too :) Merry Chrsitmas :P

Travel / Places open in Poland on national holidays [23]

oh Dany boy :D

Seriously mate, you must have realised that shops do occasionally close early for Christmas?

You might have some luck with 24hr garages.... other than that.... i think you're screwed :P

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

Isn't it obvious?
Because Wales doesn't have any 'fit' girls and McDonald's is cheaper in Poland.... :) :) :)

Life / Halloween vs All Saints' Day in Poland [48]


Absolutely.
Christians have stolen other Pagan traditions and re-branded them. These include 'Christmas' and 'Easter'...
Although Hallows Eve' is an old Pagan traditional, 'Trick or Treat' is an American addition which seems to be confusing some posters...

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [437]


Absolutely right; it's all down to taste :)


British guys are not cocky. Polish girls just find us more attractive than Polish or even American guys :P
Many Polish girls want a British boyfriend. But that's not our fault; we didn't choose to become a fashion accessory xD

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]

Well we can't all hate women. ;)
Personally, I have no reason to.
I think one would have to feel a lot of bitterness about women and have experienced a particular type of upbringing to say some of the crazy things I read on here.

We can only educate the world one lost soul at a time :D :D :D

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]


First of all, you are addressing a lady. Show some respect.
Second, who made you an expert on that particular poster and her thoughts?


Rather silly, ignorant and unnecessary blanket statement.


I'm a male, I don't consider myself as a feminist though.
However, what is the 'male perspective'? You seem to be in a minority with your views. Most males seem to have a much higher opinion of women than you do. And thank god for that :P

+2


I think you've hit the nail on the head. Any guy (straight or otherwise) who loves and respects the fairer sex could never begrudge them their basic human rights of equality.

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]

The funniest thing about tis thread is that there's 2 sides; those that are arguing for equality and those who reject it.
It's highly probable that those guys who clearly think woman are sub-human and don't deserve equality, had they been born grils instaed of boys, would be 'feminists' themselves - man-hating feminists xD

I'm not sure whether it's due to lack of intelligence or maturity, but some little boys out there need to do some growing up :)

Feminists should be aware of the dangers of educating women as warned by the BBC:

Although many have darker hair and other eye colours too...

I'm sorry but I personally prefer brunettes, and Poland has many gorgeous brunettes :P

You really don't get women (or feminism) at all really, do you?

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]


Goofy, do you really believe that women are limited to two options in life; being either a housewife or working in Tesco's?
Or even that housework is solely a woman's job?
You have still a lot to learn young man.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


I'm not. The right to bear arms was in relation to having an armed, well-regulated militia, and not for ordinary citizens or for abnormal citizens...

Take away the guns and watch the murder rate go down.
Would any sane person support such legislation in Poland? No.
Would anyone want such legislation to be misinterpreted (like it is in the US)? No.
Do unto others as thou shalt wish is done unto thyself... ie: let the murders kill each other... just don't bring that barbaric uncivilised behaviour to Poland, mmmkay..?

I think that 'homophobe' would be a better label...

Lack of education? Intolerance? Maybe ignorance? Maybe some people are sexually repressed? What is your excuse?
Can you provide a source for this 90% figure?

News / Homosexual lobby steps up infiltration in Poland [110]


Why does it offend you so much that it is?

Do you not wish for your children to be brought up more educated and tolerant than you were?


Tolerance and democracy are two different things.
Where do you get this 90% from. Link your source or stop making up figures...

News / Homosexual lobby steps up infiltration in Poland [110]


No Kondzior, 'Liberals' or 'normal people' as I like to term them, realise that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality.
It is not Liberal thinking to demand that homosexuality is 'correct' and heterosexuality is 'wrong'.
We 'Liberals' or 'normal people' realise that a person's sexuality is their business. We are all equal and make our own choices in life.

But this ignorance and prejudice against homosexuals in the 21st Century is very saddening and has to end.
Hope all 'non-liberals' will grow up and accept this. :)
