Genealogy / How common is it for other people of Polish origin to discover they are actually Jewish? [127]

I was told that it was often kept a very grave secret out of fear of persecution if you were Jewish hiding in Poland

You mean if you were a Jew hiding during WWII?

, yes....discovered that we are in fact Jewish by my mother's Great or Great Great Grandmother whose name was Kagan

I wouldn't know but so tell me please if there is any specific Jewish gene? Otherwise your claim would quite foolish. How do you know that your great grandma or her offspring didn't willingly change her/his allegation and decide not to be Jewish and marry outside Jewish community?

Life / Poland: The land of -isms [63]

Of course there will be more racists than in the West.

Don't let "them" activists fool you. Every human is a racist to some extend. I don't know in which country there are more racists but I strongly suspect that their number would be the same for most countries.

News / Lech Walesa vs Immigration: Brits humiliated him at London Heathrow Airport [105]

Did UK Prime Minister David Cameron order the humiliation of Lech Walesa on the bidding of Beijing? See here:
/tompride.wordpress.com/2013/10/15/did-cameron-order-the-humiliat ion-of-lech-walesa-on-the-bidding-of-beijing/

assure you, this incident really is very odd. It's normal practice for diplomatic VIPs from EU countries to be allowed to enter the country without being stopped and having their bags searched.

After all, what on earth do the border guards think they'll find among the 70-year-old Lech Walesa's underwear – bomb making equipment or Al Qaeda propaganda?

This action occurred at exactly the same time as the Cameron government announced a charm offensive aimed at the Chinese Communist leadership in Beijing – a charm offensive which includes the present high level visit by Cameron, Osborne and Boris Johnson as well as the announcement of a new visa system aimed at attracting rich Chinese visitors and Chinese government officials to Britain.

Walesa has been a long-standing thorn in the side of the Chinese government. Not least because he is seen as the person who brought about the destruction of the Soviet Communist system but also because he has openly supported Chinese dissidents and human rights activists.


How is that feasible? I mean really?

News / Too much milk - Poland has been forced to pay EUR 4.1 mln to the EC. [11]

Don't see why you think that's odd.

I think that is odd to limit production when at the same time financial sector goes by few regulation. I think that it has nothing to do with the free market philosophy when one sector is free to act without any limits or regulation when production of food is strictly regulated - guess which sector have a stronger lobby.

Law / Which is the best city in Poland to open a kebab shop? [56]

Kebab is a very unhealthy food. One contains 140g of fat and is high in trans fat, which raises cholesterol levels. Also instead of the hand-carved rotating roast kebab shops across Europe are using minced-up cuts of indeterminate meat swimming in grease. No better that an average fast food grub.

Law / How do you get your Polish passport if you live in Poland? [17]

Step 1 - you google into Google Requirements to get a passport in Poland.
Step2 - you read all that - Polish nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;Polish passport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;Passport Information Portal or look for more if in doubt.

Step3 - you share the knowledge you acquired with PF to be used (hopefully) by other posters who cannot bother to google.
Good Day to You Too.

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]

Anti-Polish sentiment in Germany's akin, though certainly not identical, to anti-Turkish sentiment.

I think Germans should get away with all this negativity. It is not good for business.

USA, Canada / Why indian origin woman as Miss America and never Polish origin? [37]

, Nile, and Tlum, stop being basement dwelling racist virgins and go outside for once.

GO OUTSIDE? Are you mad? That would be rather difficult for a virgin. Hiding in a basement it is what we are good at. Would you care to sent us some willing and beautiful women to the basement to cure our racism?

UK, Ireland / Daniel Pelka murder: Polish mother and stepfather face life sentences [96]

I have been talking about Ant63 and Biegansk among others bickering in this thread as if they wouldn't care that an innocent child has been killed.

the state shouldn't play any role at all.

Seems to me the state and social services didn't play any role at all in protecting the child in this case. Not that it matters now.
