Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [644]

I self-identify

This self-identifying bollox has its roots in stupid Americans who can't accept that they're American and describe themselves as Polish, Irish, German, Swedish etc. because they had one great-grandfather who emigrated from there back in 18-something-or-other.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [644]

other than through mass scale raping :P

What a bizarre conclusion. There would still be many women who would like to have children even if they were lesbians and that could be achieved by artificial insemination.

News / European News and Poland Thread 3 [1013]

Only the wealth-producing US citizens actually support NATO and everything else.

Complain to your government about it. They're the ones who make these arrangements on your behalf.

Genealogy / Can not figure out Yanzuk [4]

There are no Polish surnames beginning with Y. In my opinion your name was probably originally Janczuk. The J in Polish is pronounced like Y in English so your ancestors probably changed the spelling to make life easier. The 'cz' is a bit like 'ch' in English but after a couple of generations families of Polish origins usually didn't speak much Polish anymore and didn't even know how to pronounce their own names correctly, so they probably just dropped the 'c' somewhere along the road as they couldn't see the point of it.

UK, Ireland / Is it good for Poland as Sinn Fein will win today in Northen Ireland [254]

When did the Irish say they want Nigerians in Ireland?

Back when they used to come to Trinity College as medical students and then went back to Nigeria.

About twenty years ago there was a wave of them rather suddenly, not students this time, but economic migrants coming under the guise of being 'persecuted'. Whether they really were or not I don't know. There is actually massive persecution of Catholics in Nigeria, tens of thousands of them have been murdered for their faith over the last ten years or so.

I taught quite a few Nigerian kids, mostly boys. They were actually lovely. Even at a very early age, about six years old, they had a high standard of literacy in English and beautiful handwriting. They were well behaved too.

The parents were a different story, although they watched their ps and qs with the teaching staff because they do actually have respect for education and educational institutions. In other areas of public life they can be extremely arrogant in their demeanour and downright rude.

The nicest African immigrants were the Ghanians, really lovely and Zimbabweans.

, it is about the NEW IRA.

You said 'the real IRA' - they are an old gang from the Good Friday Agreement days. They were opposed to it.

Should the old guard cul

Definitely not. There's been enough of that kind of violence. You will never eliminate paras in NI. Secret societies and armed groups have been part of Irish history for so long.

into gun, and drug smuggling gangs

The paras always had links to organized crime. Always.

after a bunch of people raised money for the Brazilian, he took the money and returned to Rio...

Just wanted to address this. He seems to be a really decent man and he hasn't stolen anything. He was given that money to do with as he pleased. He may return to Ireland but if he wants to go back to Brazil, his homeland, why not? Many very nice Brazilian people in Ireland. They're well-liked.

UK, Ireland / Is it good for Poland as Sinn Fein will win today in Northen Ireland [254]

(name: Riad Bouchaker).

I told you his name would be released after he'd been charged. That's how it's done in Ireland.

Foreign crime gangs in Ireland started in earnest about 20-odd years ago. Romanians and Nigerians were carrying out various credit card frauds I remember. And then the Poles and Lithuanians gave it a go. Now Ukrainians are selling illegal tobacco out of the back of vans. In fairness, all the really violent crimes have been the work of the Irish, mostly from Dublin and Limerick, of all places. Limerick was know as 'stab city' for years.

It sounds awful, I know, but Ireland is still a very safe country. I think we are number 3 in the world on the safety index. Iceland is number one.

Why don't you visit? You'd really like it :)

UK, Ireland / Is it good for Poland as Sinn Fein will win today in Northen Ireland [254]

Does anybody know what going on with Ireland?

1. Too many IPAs (international protection applicants). I don't mean Ukrainians. I mean single, male asylum seekers rocking up at Dublin Airport having destroyed their documents. People are not happy about it - especially as a lot of them are from peaceful countries and have no need for protection.

2. Not enough accommodation for said IPAs.

3. Not enough accommodation for Ukrainians either who are filling up a lot of the hotels and its having an impact on tourism and small local businesses that benefit from the tourism industry.

4. Some people getting a bit fed up that Ukrainians get the most generous package of benefits in any EU country and have noticed that they're hopping off to Ukraine for Christmas and sending the kids back for summer holidays.

5. Services such as education and healthcare under severe strain due to the huge influx of refugees in small towns.

Those are the main issues.

There aren't really any riots. There have been silent/peaceful protests by concerned locals in a few places.

There is no 'major far right' group in Ireland but there are a few individuals (and a few Brits who nip over the Irish Sea to stir things up sometimes. They are generally thought to be the ones responsible for the arson attacks on the places earmarked for accommodation for asylum seekers.

The riots in Dublin a few weeks ago started as a legitimate and peaceful protest, and degenerated into a free-for-all by the inner city scumbags, you know, the type who kick your head in as you're walking down Talbot Street, just for fun.

Don't know what's going on with the IRA but the paras on both sides are still there, always will be, however low key they are.

Btw, the 'real IRA' is not new, it's been around years.

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

A pick-and-choose attitude.

Did you know that the Vatican has given permission for women to use artificial contraceptives in the past? I presume you're ok with that because the then Pope said it was ok? And you're ok with same sex couples getting a blessing now from Catholic priests?

You must be, because you don't pick and choose; you accept all the Church's teachings until they say the opposite and then you accept that too, is that a fair summing up of your Catholicism?

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

There isn't a single instance in history where the female gender was the deciding factor in something meaningful apart from population numbers

Aren't you a Catholic? I'm surprised at such an ignorant remark from a Catholic.

Now, I'm an Ursuline girl myself - Soli Deo Gloria! They were the first order dedicated to the education of girls.

In 1535 St Angela and 28 other women formed themselves into a congregation, putting themselves under the protection of St Ursula. Her specific goal was the education of girls "in order to restore the family and, through the family, the whole of Christian society."

Real Estate / Real Estate Sold or Sale price [5]

Here is a paid service that gives the information you want. I would suggest that you learn how to use Google Translate to search for information in Poland. You will never get the info you need by searching or asking in English. I used the following search term to find the service:

"jak sprawdzić kwotę, za jaką sprzedano nieruchomość"

Real Estate / Real Estate Sold or Sale price [5]

Many banks publish quarterly reports on the subject. They give the average asking/list price of apartments and houses and the actual average price achieved, based on notarial deeds for the period. There are sources on the internet where you can find the same information. Use Google translate to help you search and read the reports.

Work / Can any international computer science student get software development job in Wrocław or Warsaw? [45]

boasting

Merely stating a fact.

Novichock provided you a very simple explanation:

Novichok is an old man. I thought you didn't respect old men's knowledge of programming - even the man whose knowledge gave us pretty much every operating system, browser and even the James Webb telescope.

You are so woke

I'm not remotely woke. You haven't heard my impersonation of a Nigerian TEFL teacher 'Repeat after me: ah am wantin' to deevoss mah wife in Lagos and marry mah Polish girlfriend.' Where you put the stress on the words is very important in getting the accent right. And when you're doing the Indian programmer impersonation, it helps to put the top teeth out over the bottom ones slightly. Go on - try it! You might actually enjoy yourself :)

Work / Can any international computer science student get software development job in Wrocław or Warsaw? [45]

an old man's work on programming

And once again you demonstrate your laughable ignorance.

therefore it's great that "there are loads of Indians working in software jobs for companies in Poland."

When did I say it was great? It's disastrous. They're generally very poor programmers; Polish companies hire them because they're cheap. It's not great that they're here but it's a fact that they're here. You were wrong - as usual.

And AI is just software.

You aren't qualified to speak on this topic

I'm far more qualified than you are. What computer languages are you proficient in? What programs have you written? Read this book, learn how to program and then we can talk on an equal level:

chenweixiang.github.io/docs/The_C++_Programming_Language_4th_Edition_Bjarne_Stroustrup.pdf

Backpedaling now

And what am I supposedly back-pedalling on? Please point me to the rabid feminist posts that you imagine I've made.
