News / France and Germany plan to flood Poland with illegal migrants. [180]
Obviously, you can't be reasoned with and all you do is make yourself look
idiotic with your persistent, crackpot rhetoric!
You were an immigrant yourself once upon a time. How would you have felt
if somebody suggested that you be shot on sight as soon as you and your
family arrived in this country??
Oh, I forgot, your proviso only goes for brown people, sorry LOL

I'd forgotten that one, considering I ever knew it.
@Rich, while we don't say "Who is the president of the States?"
people often refer to the US as either the United States or the States, the latter
in casual conversation.

Not certain I see your point here.
Once again, short-sighted thinking on the part of various governments
such as The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, and Austria is the root
cause of many of the social problems of foreigner integration among
the wealthier European countries!

for plain comfort viewing, you know, Wajda, early Polanski,
Andrzejewski.

Graham Greene seems to hold up far better.

Intelligent, sentient beings are smart, heaven forbid enlightened, enough

do the trick just as easily!
'Course if you're not smart enough to catch on, Rich, that's scarcely my/our problem now,
is it!
@jon,
Can't entirely agree, especially about "Brave New World".

As I posted privately, short-term, really just plain myopic. thinking
among liberal European governments is what has led to the migrant mess
throughout much of the Continent. Wouldn't you agree?

@Rich,
The late Jerzy Kosinski of BEING THERE fame too spoke and wrote "American" fluently,
albeit with a decided Polish accent!
The differences though between you and Kosinski, apart from the obvious, are that
his accented American English was beautifully articulated, erudite, clever, and learned.
Take a hint?

Bingo, jon! A mere document, official or otherwise, doesn't determine nationality
alone. National feeling, spirit count for something as well.

Surprise, PolAmKrakow, Rich, Joker and others...I'm absolutely against chronic outsourcing of American manufacturing products and services, allowing foreign businesses
aka Arab oil sheiks, Russian oligarchs and their ilk, to buy up property in the US for their own often nefarious reasons, permitting Mexican drug cartels to have free access to North American businesses and the like.
But for the last time, you people are throwing the baby out with the bathwater and the kid's getting awful tired:-)
The professionals with whom you've spoken are in all likelihood scarcely as literate as their fathers or grandfathers since under Ronald
Reagan, education as we know it was cancelled!

@PolAmKrakow,
Once more, you and certain others here on PF are throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater.
I'm no more a fan of millions of illegals from wherever flooding this country for free than you are. However,
I was raised pre-Reagan and brought up with a reassuring whiff of the immediate post-War era (although
born in 1960), again, before the gutter filth of the lower classes catapulted upwards through an over extension
of trade unionism gone berserk, reached the penthouse.....and eventually the White House! Up until the advent
of the Woodstock generation, around late 1969 or so, the average, middle class American, white or black, seemed
basically to understand their social position.
I was raised when all professionals, doctor, teacher, lawyer, above all president, were, by and large,
central casting representatives of their respective profession, furthermore, a profanity-laced tirade IN PUBLIC,
such as under Trump, would have been unthinkable. Unpleasantness was kept quiet, except among the less
well brought up classes, and the degree of social mixing as exists today, was undesirable and for good reason.
When some appeared some place, in most instances, it was because they belonged there, although there were
plenty of exceptions, of course.

As I remarked to Rich, we've only your word for what you've posted. I too
can post rags-to-riches sob stories. Any relation to the truth remains to be seen:-)
Just bear in mind for the bazillionth time; the world pre-Reagan, for that matter,
pre Woodstock, well before you came into this nutsy world, is a far cry from what it is
today.
According to the front page of today's NYT, Trump wants to alienate even further the middle class from
the billionaire class.
O, brave new world.

Perhaps if more American citizens were less embarrassed by "tantrum logic", the more
Trump might have no choice but to hear what the Opposition is saying!
Sort of reminds me of during the Johnson Era and the so-called "silent majority"; the majority's not
silent, the government's deaf.

UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [264]
Yiddish contains approx. at last count, some 90% medaeval, Upper German base vocabulary,
followed by at least 70% Hebrew, finally, about 40-50% Polish loan word stock!
Upon their arrival in the New World towards the close of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century,
bastardized English words became incorporated into spoken Yiddish.
At least, this is my understanding based on Leo Rosten, Uriel Weinreich, along with other professional
Yiddishists or Yiddish mavens:-)
