Love / Poland's virginity market [17]

I'll make a few points about the article.

Obviously, we're on the lookout for things in the Polish media that are attracting attention, but are not accessible to English-speaking readers.

This happened to be the 'most read' in Poland over the new year.

The article is not 'anti-Polish' as it was written originally by a Pole, and published in a Polish newspaper. Therefore, to claim this, you would have to imagine that the author, the newspaper and its readership were, for some reason or other, anti-themselves.

It is just a 'human interest' story (the same thing happens in other countries, no-one is claiming it's an exclusively Polish phenomenon).

And about linking to our blog.

If people don't like the stories, then don't click on them and ignore the thread.

If the mods don't like me doing this, then I'll stop doing it.

But I don't see the harm in it. It gives us traffic, as well as providing content for Polish Forums.

I'd suggest it's a lot better than many of the threads discussing 'the Joos', Asians looking for Polish girls, and 'strange' Serbian nationalist threads by Crow.

UK, Ireland / Agnieszka Pomaska, beautiful Polish politician [43]

I taught at a Polish university for eight years and Polish students are smart. Go get those good jobs Poles!

I agree with your first sentence that 'Poles are hungry'.

But fairly obviously, after a generation or so living in the UK, they will cease to be so.

It should also be pointed out that there are many in the world 'hungrier' than Poles. Ukrainians, for example.

Personally, what I find really 'lame' are over-qualified Poles doing crap jobs in the UK going on about how 'superior' they are to natives. No doubt some Brit with a Phd would be cleverer than the average Polish manual worker, but somehow I couldn't imagine many British intellectuals doing physical work in Poland and complaining they couldn't discuss the finer points of Wittgenstein with their work colleagues.

Life / My Słowianie (music video mocks stereotypes about Poles and Slavs) [46]

Wow? How do you know that he isn't? How come you are privy to classified information? lol

I don't know that he isn't. In the same way that I don't know that you are not a Chinese spy, secret Muslim or part of a conspiracy of homosexualists. The idea that most people are not Russian spies is simply an assumption on my part.

First incorrect information - Gazeta Polska' is a right-wing daily newspaper, - not is not, it is a weekly newspaper.

'Gazeta Polska Codzennie' to give it its full name.

Second misleading information - which supports the Catholic nationalist PiS - whether it support or not PiS is debatable but PiS is not the Catholic nationalist party, that just a pure nonsense.

So you haven't read the newspaper, or do you simply not understand its contents?

third mislaying information - According to the Polish right - nah according to few juranlist from that newspaper.

Who are representative of the thought of the Polish right.

Three strikes you are out.

Fair enough. So I trust this will be your last contribution to this thread.

has it not occurred to you that Poland is white (that is what you wanted to say right?) because there is no colonial background....

The fact that hardly anyone wants to move to Poland isn't really something to be proud of.

Poland is currently in a perfect cultural situation. Poles that fall for Western propaganda, pack up move and never return (bringing their filth back). Poles that remain in Poland do not want outside interference.

Multiculturalism has never worked.

You are doing great, perogi2000. Just keep on posting, and anyone dropping in on Polish Forums will give Poland a very wide berth.

The France, Brazil and Holland football teams are miles ahead of the representatives of Poland. The more unsuccessful the country is, the more likely it is to be monocultural. North Korea is the most obvious example.

The more cultures you put into the Pot, the more watered down it gets.

Great. So the likes of Poland and North Korea are wonderful examples of pure culture. Pity the poor people in France, the US and the UK.

Can Christians be characterized as 'friendly/unfriendly'? Does that mean that Polish people are the same as Mexicans, Australians, many sub-Saharan Africans, South Sea islanders, all of whom are nominally Christian? Some Muslims are nice and some aren't. The same with Christians, unbelievers and so on.

well quite that was kind of my point.

And I was agreeing with it.

I have never said that every muslim is a bad person

But generally you don't like them.

This makes no more sense than to generally dislike Christians.

In Britain in 2012 75% of all Muslim women are unemployed while 50% of all Muslim men are unemployed. Muslims are also more on sick leave more than anyone else, with 24% of females and 21% of males claiming a disability. What exactly does this mean money-wise?

It means that someone with something against Muslims has pulled a set of statistics out of his arse-crack.

Do you have the correct statistics? Your belief doesn't mean much unless you show some counter-proof. Hope you do.

1stethical.com/about/british-muslim-statistics

Anyone with any common sense would know that the statistics given in the post I replied to were false. I also know the Daily Telegraph statistics (unfortunately I cannot access these as I have exceeded my article limit). Unfortunately, it seems that many people (particularly in Poland) unquestioning believe just about any kind of nonsense critical of Muslims.

Statistics from 2001? After labeling someone elses statistics "arse-crack" you post this

Next time the discussion on Poles in England surfaces, I'll be sure to post statistics from the 90's

When do the statistics from the other article come from? They are allegedly taken from the Daily Telegraph, who were using statistics from 2004. The statistics are nonsense to anyone with any common sense anyway.

How and why would Muslim unemployment jump from 16% to 50% in ten years?

All those statistics are pointless for individuals that see/experience this issue first hand. You can't deny Muslims are having off spring at a ridiculous rate.

In the UK the number of Polish births is now exceeding the number of Pakistani births.

What would be your solution for this 'problem'?
szczecinianin

News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]

Can I assume that's births per family?

And why is Pakistan the golden standard in this situation

Total number of births.

Because Pakistanis are the largest Muslim nationality in the UK.

Who are currently being outbred by Poles.

Should Brits be worried about this influx of alien Roman Catholics?

From the link: "In France, home to 13 million Muslims, the government no longer controls the banlieus , the densely-populated, predominantly Muslim ghettos that encircle most major French cities and where the French police seldom patrol.

There aren't 13 million Muslims in France you ignorant fool. Nowhere near.

Zimmy:
the author was pointing out cultural differences between Muslims and Christians/Jews.

There is no such thing it's made up nonsense, trying to group Christianity into one group is silly let alone adding another religion.

Muslims belong to the same monotheistic religious tradition as Christians and Jews.

Of course, there is a connection. Islam believes Jesus to have been a prophet. You don't appear to know a great deal about the great monotheistic religions.

Muslims believe their faith to be simply a continuation of the Judeo-Christian tradition, with Muhammed being the final prophet.

The Christian part is not a unified or settled idea so how do we know what the writer means before he introduces ideas from other schools of thought.

Most likely, it is a mix of all three. Clearly monotheistic religions are different to (say) Hinduism. Muslims believe much of what Jews and Christians believe. Islam is the most modern of the three and believes in much of the scripture of the previous two.

I have no idea why you question the idea of something that quite clearly and obviously exists (a Judeo-Christian tradition) which is obviously distinct from (for example) a Buddhist tradition.

This so called "tradition" has no basis in reality

It has. What you have written is akin to stating that cats, the Irish Sea and the Mongolian language have 'no basis in reality'.

The 'monotheistic Abrahamic tradition' would be some kind of definition. I don't have the time and patience to write the history of this tradition, but I'm sure you can read up about it on Wikipedia, for example. I'm not some kind of historian or religious scholar.

That is exactly the point, this phrase has nothing to do with the historic or scriptural relationships between the religions, it's an undefined political phrase used to mean anything, lately it's used to place Islam at a distance. Originally used to give evangelical Christianity some biblical justification and to promote the ideas of manifest destiny, it's meaningless nonsense.

It isn't 'meaningless nonsense' as the 'Old Testament' is in essence Judaism. Christianity is a branch of Judaism, as is Islam. The philosophy of all three religions is much the same as they all come from the same root.

Are you now going to claim that the existence of cats is 'meaningless nonsense'?
szczecinianin

Sz you continue to miss the point as usual, this phrase as used today (and almost always) has nothing to do with scripture it's a political phrase which is the only consistent thing about it in terms of meaning.

There is clearly a 'Judeo-Christian tradition' whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. Why have you been wasting our time arguing against the obvious? And btw, you were claiming there was 'no basis to this tradition in reality' earlier, and not that it was 'a political thing'. It has 'a basis in reality', and your claim is as false as any claim possibly could be.

So again I ask you to define this tradition and explain how it came about, you said it was clear you said it is obvious so you shouldn't have any difficulty explaining the phrase you use.

It's so obvious it doesn't merit an explanation. Despite this, I explained it to you anyway. Did you not understand? Did you miss religious education at school for some reason?

If you display total ignorance of the major faiths of the world you live in, and have no desire to accept simple explanations in simple language, I can't really help you further, I'm afraid.
