News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

Russia is just being ruined by sanctions and low oil prices. Nonetheless, Putin instilled a sense of nationalism and pride in the people and he still enjoys very high approval ratings.

Serbia is a very nationalist country as well, and even Poland to an extent. Although yes, the nationalists will turn on their own kind if they feel they are 'patriotic' enough or get an inkling that an individual could be doing something contrary to the benefit of the nation.

There are a few examples though where nationalist ideals have remained popular - although these countries are considered pariahs (sometimes fairly, sometimes not) - North Korea, China, Iran, and in smaller circles Greece, Albania, Serbia, and Israel - where extreme nationalism is essentially government sponsored.

Sorry to hear that. Canada is a wonderful country and it's a shame these individuals don't emigrate to other Muslim majority countries. I can understand why though - economics.

Thankfully Poland is very hesitant to take in Muslims almost to the point of paranoia. I'd hate to see the country turn into a place like Germany or Belgium. Those countries are done for its only a matter of time before whites become the minority.

How can you say that about a country you work in and claim to love? Sanctions against previous countries like Iran and North Korea have shown that the regime is barely effected - but the common citizens are.

They only move their butts if some politician really gets on their case or the media starts talking trash about them. Then suddenly the next day TVP is showing guys in masks breaking into some guys apartment and showing off a shoebox full of amphetamines they confiscated...

I don't know why they bothered to leave to the UK unless there was that much heat on them in Poland... murder in Poland I believe is only 8-25 years in prison with most doing around 8-10 if they were only convicted of one count. I would've asked to defect to Iran or something personally... but that's just me.

News / World's 'most wanted man' (a Pole) found working at British Subway restaurant [43]

Polish cops are totally lazy. The only reason why they might have turned up the heat is because of all the bad press Poland has been getting lately. The way that Trump said 'Mexico's not sending their best' well I'm sure many people in the UK think that way of Poland or Romania.

Most of the career criminals have left Poland, many for the UK especially if they're facing charges. This really doesn't surprise me. Some of the Polish guys that would commit robberies or fraud here would go to Poland but that was before Poland was in the EU and began extraditing people back to the US. At least in Wroclaw, it's mostly the younger generation running the drugs and a maybe handful of older guys who are being released due to 90's and early 2000s murder convictions. The soccer hooligans aren't real criminals - maybe enforcers that are a bit too passionate at best.

News / Poland directly threatened by ISIS. Do Islamists planning terrorist attacks in Poland? [390]


There some documents that came out after 9/11 (US Department of State) showing that some humanitarian organization in Bosnia was receiving $300+ million a year from the Saudi government - it was called I believe Saudi High Commission or something like that. These funds were used to train and provide for jihadis so that they could use as Bosnia as their European base from which to launch attacks. Under Al-Qaeda, Bosnia was the cradle of European terrorism, now with ISIS, it's more Belgium.

Some sources about Saudi's financing terrorism via humanitarian organizations in Bosnia:
globalresearch.ca/new-saudi-king-tied-to-al-qaeda-bin-laden-and-islamic-terrorism/5429307

· A U.N. audit found that the money was transferred following meetings with Salman, transfers that had no legitimate "humanitarian" purpose.
· According to a United Nations-sponsored investigation, Salman in the 1990s transferred more than $120 million from commission accounts under his control - as well as his own personal accounts - to the Third World Relief Agency, another al-Qaida front and the main pipeline for illegal weapons shipments to al-Qaida fighters in the Balkans.

NATO forces raided the SHC's Sarajevo offices, discovering a treasure trove of terrorist materials: before-and-after photographs of al Qaeda attacks, instructions on how to fake U.S. State Department badges, and maps marked to highlight government buildings across Washington.

foreignpolicy.com/2015/01/27/king-salmans-shady-history-saudi-arabia-jihadi-ties/
By 2001, the organization had collected around $600 million - nominally for relief and religious purposes, but money that allegedly also went to facilitating arms shipments, despite a U.N. arms embargo on Bosnia and other Yugoslav successor states from 1991 to 1996.

The US and NATO did not want to disturb Bosnia after the Yugo wars - they were too busy blaming Serbs for genocide and worrying about stains on a dress. The fact is though, the Serbs were actually rooting out terrorism in Europe at it's source 10 years before the US and NATO gave a crap. Plus, the only reason why the US did something about the terrorist nerve center is Bosnia is because of 9/11.

I don't think it takes a genius to connect the dots and understand that terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra received most of their donations from rich countries and rich individuals. It makes sense though - spent $300 million arming a terrorist group, have them cause some panic and kill a couple hundred, then forge alliances and sign multi billion dollar contracts for arm shipments with the US or other Western nations to eliminate the same threat they originally created and use the media to convince citizens that these people are a threat to our 'freedom' and taxes must be spent on a phony war.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2971]


I've never been to school in Poland past 1st grade, but I'd imagine that the education is very much influenced by tradition and Roman Catholic values. I highly doubt that a modern approach is taken towards sex, drugs, alcohol and other things most high school students learn in health class. I don't think that family planning is given much time in the classrooms or condoms are given out.


You're comparing raising a cat to a child... two different things. Yes, both require responsibility and sacrifice but cat does not require clothing, an education, constant care, and so on. If someone loses their house or falls very ill, they can easily put their cat up online for adoption and chances are someone will take it in. As far as adoptions, we've seen that adoption rates are very low in Poland. Also, yes if I was a woman, a condom broke on me during sex and I found out I was pregnant then I most likely would chose an abortion as I am not ready to raise a child - especially if I was poor, in the middle of my education, had a bad job, the guy doesn't plan on being a real father, etc. Although your comparing a cat to a child, I wouldn't take a cat into my home either as I currently have a dog and that's already difficult enough to deal with when I'm travelling.


Not every girl wants to be a nun. Would you really marry someone without seeing if you're sexually compatible and that she isn't a cold fish in the bedroom? No thanks...

I think the biggest failure is the lack of proper sexual education, teaching why and how to use a condom, and providing condoms anonymously.

'Poland avoids Serbia like the plague'

I don't know how true this is as I don't have much experience with this topic outside of my family. What I can tell you is that I personally, along with my family, love Serbia and Serbians, and was very sad when Belgrade got bombed. Even thought I was in grade school when this happened, I followed this war very very closely. To my family and I, at the very least the northern part of Kosovo should be returned to Serbia. At least finally some of the Serbs previously accused of war crimes are being found innocent. It's a shame that the KLA hasn't had to face the Hague to the same degree as the Serbs. It's fact that the Kosovar Albanians were killing Serb cops in order to provide the Serbs - although this was AFTER Milosevic agreed to pull out his tanks and use only police in the area. Even after the war ended, the Kosovar Albanians and Bosnians kidnapped many Serbs and tore out their organs to sell on the black market.

The only good thing that happened was that the Serbs turned Russian radars down to a low frequency and were able to knock out a Stealth fighter using a pretty much obsolete SAM. That really embarrassed the US.

The worst thing to come out of the whole Yugoslav conflict was the birth of modern Jihadism in Europe. Even one of the 9/11 masterminds - Khalid Sheikh Muhammad - had Bosnian citizenship and fought in the Bosnian war - along with thousands of other foreigners. It is said that Osama Bin Laden also had a Bosnian passport. Under the Dayton Accords, all these foreign mujahedeen were supposed to be kicked out of Bosnia - however that didn't happen and instead they grew their base of operation and even started setting up training camps. The US did NOTHING to expel these terrorists. Many of the terrorist attacks that occurred in Madrid, London, the US, and other attacks prior to the migrant crisis had their origins in Bosnia. There individuals became international terrorists with their home base oftentimes being Bosnia. Those same individuals also fought Chechnya and Iraq and are now the most prized fighters and commanders in ISIS. ISIS even released a video last April that was specifically targeting Bosnian Muslims to either join ISIS or carry out attacks locally.

News / What kind of Poland do most Poles want? [101]


Everyone's a slut for something and everyone has their price...

I just want to see a Poland where wages are higher, the culture remains mostly homogeneous, a larger army (with an underground wmd program), an actual separation of church and state, PiS stops their assault on the uterus, less foreign influence in the economy, less corruption in the police, better relations with the Visegard 4, trade with Russia, and to stop cowering to Zionists, the IMF, the EU, and the US.

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]


That's true - especially near the train stations. I find the vast majority of the beggars and pickpockets around my city of Wroclaw tend to be the gypsy families (especially in the central square - poor kids are sent by their parents to beg for change instead of going to school) and a few older alcoholics. I don't really consider these people to be criminals - more bums than anything else. A real criminal does not beg for change or snatch purses - that's what gypsies, drug addicts and alcoholics do.


Yeah the Albanians tend to run the prostitution and brothels - at least in France. No one wants to work with the Albanians - not the Russians, Italians, Poles - no one. Poles will even work with the Columbians, and have on many occasions, but they don't want to work with the Albanians. Unfortunately, that does happen a quite frequently - jobs for waitresses, nursing homes, child care, etc. in the UK, France, Netherlands, etc. are advertised in Poland then once the girls get there they realize they're going to either be sold or pimped out. In the US, a good looking young girl with a connected pimp can easily make $5k to as much as $20k a week in a large city. The independent girls don't make as much but they can easily still make $2k+ a week.


In that very same sentence I wrote about car theft - car theft is common but not nearly as much as it was during the 90's. It's much harder to steal cars now because of all the high tech features and GPS's. Some of the more professional car thieves have purchased trailers that block the GDS's inside the car.


In the small towns I'm sure. The drug trade certainly took off though in the larger cities. Poland now supplies Europe with most of it's amphetamines.


Yes but the 'beef' supposedly originated in Poland -

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]

Polish people aren't like notorious pick pockets, shoplifters, or commit larceny, robberies, etc. in staggering numbers. The best thieves in Europe I would say are the gypsies (in terms of like pick-pockets, shoplifting, confidence trick, etc.) and the professionals being the Balkan (Serbian, Bosnian, Macedonian, some Albanian) guys who usually hit jewelry stores.

I'd say that by enlarge, most Polish people are very very law abiding and have a great moral compass. The vast majority do not participate in any criminal activities. There aren't a whole lot of famous Polish criminals compared to like Turks, Brits, Irish, Italian, etc. and the more famous ones lived in the US like the Ice Man Kuklinski, Jake Guzik, and were part of an Italian mafia - not a Polish one. There's very few Poles in gangs in Chicago and no ethnically Polish gangs that I know of - at least around here. There are some younger Polish guys that run scams or sell drugs - but again a small proportion of the overall hard working Poles.

I do hear that the UK is having quite an issue with some Polish criminals though. That horse meat scandal gave me a good laugh. Although from what I've seen most of the crimes that they committed ranged from drug dealing, football hooliganism, identity theft, and fraud. Don't really see too much involved in like armed robbery, home invasion, burglary, etc. Polish criminals in Europe tend to be more into production and distribution of marijuana, amphetamine, hooliganism, murder, online fraud, and back in the 90s a lot of car theft and hijacking.

If you make yourself an easy target, Polish people who are use to hard times and dealing with 'cwianiaczki' on a daily basis in their home country, will take advantage of you - this is where the opportunism comes in. I feel a lot of the immigrant Poles have found England to be full of these types. Also, identity theft is extremely easy to both commit and get away with in the UK. A lot of Poles have great programming skills and many have realized that instead of working for a pittance at IBM, they can make a lot more money from home.

These people aren't an issue though. I don't care if we had 30,00 or 300,000 of them. They are well assimilated into our country. Many tatars fought on Poland's side through many wars. These individuals do not walk down the street calling Polish Roman Catholics infidels or create ghettos in Bialystok where terrorists are hidden by the community (as in Molenbeek again). This Tatar people even look like Poles. Unlike other minorities, they are not exploiting the country and selling it off to foreigners and cowering politically to the US and other Zionist controlled nations.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2971]


The problem is that if one doesn't have a legal option for abortion, they will have to try other means and see what they can and can't afford. If a woman cannot afford to travel abroad to have an abortion, she will have to go the dangerous route. It's not that they don't know it's dangerous - it's that they oftentimes don't have another option or may not have been educated on this topic. Drinking alcohol is a leisurely activity - it's not going to matter much in the grand scheme or your life if you get drunk one weekend or not. However, having a child and keeping it or not is a decision that does affect a person through their entire life.

Also, many women in Poland are not educated on abortion as this is something that isn't discussed very much. You can't even have an abortion in Poland if you're unable to raise a child or a condom accidentally ripped during sex and you got pregnant. There aren't exactly lots of pamphlets available on these topics in health centers, family planning facilities, or gynecologists like there is in the US where a woman can obtain good non-biased scientific information. All a woman in Poland can really do is ask friends or read about the risks online - where of course she's going to run into a ton of biased sources. Perhaps if she is very poor and desperate and cannot afford to travel or afford a sympathetic doctor, she may willingly decide to do the abortion herself.

History / Is 5th partition of Poland possible? What kind? How? When? [73]


I'll take Polish mono-culture over a multi-kulti Germany that has been invaded with Muslims which will one day rule the country due to their much higher birthrates - it's just a matter of time. Certain Muslims in Germany, Sweden, Belgium, etc. are going to become interested in running for office - whether it's in parliament or even maybe the presidency one day. As the Muslim population grows exponentially, these Muslim politicians will gain more power and more votes. Soon, more radical Muslims will want to be in government too so they can implement their customs and their laws. The worst thing is, the local native Belgians, Germans, etc. who welcomed them seem not too concerned with their ancestors' culture and religion being eroded.

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]


The Iraq army ran away with their tales between their legs when ISIS came to Mosul. At first, ISIS only planned to go to the prisons and release the inmates like that had done before. They quickly realized that they weren't going to just get the prisons, but the entire city. ISIS was vastly outnumbered in Mosul when they marched in, but the soldiers change into civilian clothes all ran away with the tail between their legs.

Also, Putin did a far better job than the US did in a shorter amount of time. He bombed the hell out of them while the US was just flying a few jets a day - most of which didn't even drop ordinance. Furthermore, the $500 million program to arm moderate Syrians was an utter disaster. Not only did they only find a few dozen 'moderate' Syrians - but the majority of the weapons they delivered ended up in the hands of ISIS anyway. The US would give weapons to people that they thought were 'moderates' but really they were sympathizers with ISIS. The US lost some 1,200 hummers - that's just pathetic. Iraq will remain one of the ugliest parts of US foreign policy and a total failure by the Obama administration. We don't follow the 'to the victor goes the spoils' like other countries when they fight a war. Not only did we not take the oil, but we lost trillions in the process and now Iraq is even worse now then it was under Saddam - during which the economy was thriving.


Russia is bombing mostly opposition groups that are fighting against Assad like the FSA. They don't care that much about ISIS because Putin wants Assad to remain in power. The main group that's bombing the Kurds is Turkey, which happens to be a NATO member. The Turks have half decent relations with the Kurds in Iraq but not the Kurds in Syria or Turkey. They view many of the Kurdish organizations like the PKK as terrorist groups.


The problem is that the migrants are all coming to Europe. I can understand helping the Syrians out, but Syrian refugees don't make up the majority of migrants coming into Europe. Also, I'm not trying to prove how strong I am or anything of the sorts. All I'm stating is that I wish we didn't have such a weakling as Obama.

Life / First hand experiences of the Mafia in Poland [28]

The mafia isn't as powerful as it use to be in Poland during the 1990's. Now the closest thing to a mafia would be a couple of dealers that pool resources to get a better deal from a supplier or perhaps a family that's all involved in amphetamine production and distribution. Poland supplies a ton of amphetamines and is increasingly growing more marijuana - for both the domestic market and abroad. Poland use to get most of it's quality marijuana from Holland and Germany but now that's changing as more people learned how to grow properly.

However, in terms of like a what we think of as a mafia - like the Italians in the US and Italy, that doesn't really exist in Poland anymore.

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]


Yeah Russia took care of business very quickly in Syria - I really applaud them for that. Putin spanked the monkey again.

The freedom of speech laws are appalling in Britain. I thought freedom of speech, press, assembly, etc. was under siege in America till I realized what's been happening in England. If you're not a lefty, multi-kulti lover, you essentially don't have any rights and can land in jail very easily. Even the 'patriotic' groups like the EDL aren't sincere in their actions as they are being supported by Zionists - they even have their own 'Jewish Division' inside the EDL after the rumors of Israeli support just became too prevalent and they couldn't deny them anymore.

I don't know about paid British/US state sponsored trolls. I'm sure there are ones for US political parties - but I do know for a fact that trolls are state organized and paid in Russia.

I'm one of the few Poles that likes Putin - at least he has balls and greatly diminished ISIS's unlike Obama, who instead wasted $500 million arming a couple dozen 'moderate' Syrians - most of the weapons the US sent went to ISIS and Al-Qaeda anyway.

News / Polish priest caught in hand-of-God action on train in Tri-City area. [39]


What propaganda do you speak of? Earlier in response to my post you wrote - If the Catholic Church never killed anyone, never tortured anyone, never sent children to fight their wars, never molested a child[..]. You can listen to whomever you like. However the CC church done nothing of the sort. I dare say you don't know what you are talking about.


Yes it does because we were debating that the church ought to admit it's own misdeeds before directing what a woman that they've never met should do or not do with their body. How is the Catholic church going to call 'gay marraige' the devil's work when their own priests are having butt sex and fondling altar boys? How is the church going to tell people not to have sex outside marriage when their own clergy is having both male and female lovers as well as illegitimate children? How come they are so against gay people, many of whom want to be included in the Catholic church, yet they won't admit they had a few queer popes. I'm sure you've heard of Senior Vatican priest - Krzysztof Charamsa? There's lots of gay priests - estimates go from 23% to 58% of priests are gay with the highest percentage being young priests. I recommend you read some works by James Martin, SJ (means Society of Jesus by the way - aka Jesuits) or Rev. Donald B. Cozzens on this topic.

Once the Catholic Church comes clean - as they have in the past with other events like their role in killing Protestants, admit their sins, and pray for forgiveness perhaps then they will show to be a better example.

Pope John Paul II was great in this regard because he at least came forth and admitted the sins of the Catholic Church and apologized for them - some of these include the 4th crusade attack on Constantinople, not giving a crap during the holocaust, burning Protestants at the stake, executing Jan Hus, violations of women's rights, AND APOLOGIZING FOR THE WAY GALILEO WAS TREATED - does that fall into your category of 'The Church never did any of those things?' Well, if they didn't then why would Pope John Paul II apologize for them?

John Paul II was also one of the first to apologize for the Church's sex abuse in 2001 - this was I believe actually the first email the pope had sent. He apologized for the way missionaries behaved in Colonial times in China in that same email.

How can you say the Catholic church never did any of those things - murder, rape, molestation, children fighting wars? That's paramount to saying the Holocaust never happened. The Inquisition, the Children's Crusade, the forced baptism of Jews (something that Poland was the first to make illegal) are all historical fact. Perhaps some 'propaganda' overestimated the numbers, but that doesn't mean that these events never took place. If they didn't why would our Polish pope apologize for them? Even the Inquisition's own people later admitted what they did. Perhaps when Galileo stated the Church was constantly harassing him and forcing him into trial it was propaganda too? Perhaps Martin Luther broke away from the Church because the whole story of selling indulgences was that propaganda as well? I recommend you do some reading on these subjects and not just believe what you want to believe and simply ignore things that are contrary to your view.

It's pretty much fact that Bishops in the US knew that priests were engaging in sexual abuse but would just cover up the evidence, not report it to police, or simply move the priest to another area - instead of removing them from the Catholic church altogether.


According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Office of Child and Youth Protection and independent studies commissioned by the BISHOPS in 2012: There were more than 6,905 accused priests since 1950, there were more than 16,463 victims identified to date, although there is no national database and a total of $2.5 billion in settlements and therapy bills for victims, attorneys fees and costs to care for priests pulled out of ministry from 2004 to 2011.

I haven't heard of the Chicago Teacher's Union or the Department of Education having to pay out tens of millions to abused students - rather we here of one two, usually pretty hot female teachers, who slept with some 8th grader or freshman who couldn't keep his mouth shut. I don't know about you, but there's a couple High school teachers I would've loved to hook up with.

I've never heard of 6,900 teachers or coaches being accused of sexual abuse since the 1950's - and there are far more teachers and coaches than priests in the US. There are currently about 38,000 priests in the US and about 3.7 million grade school and high school full time teachers. Remember, that earlier statement by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops stated there were 6,905 priests accused since 1950.

The statistics are actually extremely high - and even some Catholic sources admit this - boz.religionnews.com/2014/01/09/startling-statistics/
cbsnews.com/news/vatican-reveals-how-many-priests-defrocked-for-sex-abuse-since-2004/ - The Vatican revealed Tuesday that over the past decade, it has defrocked 848 priests who raped or molested children and sanctioned another 2,572 with lesser penalties, providing the first ever breakdown of how it handled the more than 3,400 cases of abuse reported to the Holy See since 2004.

americancatholic.org/news/clergysexabuse/johnjaycns.asp
Catholic News Service - About 4 percent of U.S. priests ministering from 1950 to 2002 were accused of sex abuse with a minor, according to the first comprehensive national study of the issue. The study said that 4,392 clergymen-almost all priests-were accused of abusing 10,667 people, with 75 percent of the incidents taking place between 1960 and 1984. This goes up to 2002 - a decade less than the study listed above. Nonetheless, still a shocking amount.

Let's compare that with grade school teachers - according to some source, 'sexual abuse committed by teachers' is estimated as 3.5% to 5% - however they are considering 'flirting' as sexual abuse.

nytimes.com/1995/05/21/nyregion/teacher-student-sex-said-to-be-not-unusual.html
t Ms. Shakeshaft's study quoted findings that up to 5 percent of teachers engage in some form of sexual abuse of students, from inappropriate verbal flirtation to intercourse.

Here's a joke for you: What's the difference between acne and a priest? Acne waits till your 13 to come on your face.

You obviously don't know history - or chose to disregard it. I'm assuming you've never cared to read about the Inquistion or the various married, pedophile and homosexual popes. Perhaps you didn't know the Catholic church paid $2 billion dollars to settle with victims of sexual abuse? Of course the children's crusade and the burning of protestants never happened right, despite the Pope's apology for it? There's even a great account of Polish soldiers fighting under Napoleon breaking into a Dominican monastery with the monks and priests saying they did not torture people there. Nonetheless, the soldiers found underground torture chambers.

I am Roman Catholic and I'd argue that I probably know the Bible and church history better than you do. I went to a Catholic grade school, Jesuit high school for 2 years (public the other 2 years), and a Jesuit college - there was no escaping Catholicism and I chose to go to these schools it wasn't forced upon me. Also, I studied theology, the Bible, and the role of the Catholic church throughout European history on my own because these are topics that interest me. Just because I am a Catholic doesn't mean I can't say that we did some pretty messed up things. It's time to admit it and move on. Covering up priests' sexual abuses isn't the way to go. At least our last pope admitted it and finally the church is gradually moving in the right direction - slowly but at least it's better than it was a decade or two ago.

The point is, the Catholic church really needs to think of how they're going to increase the number of parishioners and priests and stop alienating people. Many people want to even attend Church but they don't because of the Church's views on gays, abortion, women, etc. which I find very hypocritical because they won't admit some of the same mistakes that their own people have made. There's even a lot of women or married people who want to become priests but they can't with the Catholic church so they join another organization.

Don't forget, the whole abortion issue is the reason why so many women walked out of Mass in Poland.


You're right. Money does however purchase diapers, books, school supplies, transportation to get to school, a college education, clothes for school, etc. Love of a child and a great couple won't make those things magically appear.


Well, that's why I wrap it up - but condoms aren't 100% effective. I've had one tear on more than one occasion. Good luck telling a young male to be totally chaste and wait till marriage. Would you marry someone without finding out if they're good in bed or not and if they're sexually compatible with you? I sure wouldn't.

News / Poland directly threatened by ISIS. Do Islamists planning terrorist attacks in Poland? [390]


I would say that Poles identify very strongly with Serbs as they are Slavic. Many Poles, including myself and my family, were very sad when Belgrade was bombed. However, I would argue that in terms of politics, England had more influence than Serbia mainly because of the enormous Polish immigrant community there.

Also, if you wish to watch unedited, full versions of ISIS propaganda videos try BestGore and LiveLeak. Looks like Britain may be the next target. It's only a very short matter of time before there will be another attack in Europe - I give it 2-3 months, 1-2 weeks for a large attack outside Europe.

Oh how the West underestimated this J.V. League... When ISIS stated that they were going to infiltrate Europe by exploiting the migrant crisis they weren't lying. The more patriotic types were screaming about this but the multi-kulti folks just dismissed it as fear mongering. Perhaps the 5,000 number is too high - but it doesn't matter it only takes a few. The problem is that these 'no-go' Sharia migrant zones do not expose the terrorists living inside their communities. These guys can blatantly have AK's and bombs in their house and the neighbors will never call the cops on them. I've read many different statistics regarding how these migrants view ISIS positively - one of the lower statistics stated that 25% of Muslim migrants in Europe sympathize with ISIS, Al-Qaeda, etc. The saddest thing is that even after all these deaths and people maimed for life, which I feel is more Merkel's fault and all the people for allowing an invasion than actually the terrorists themselves, there's still lots of people supporting a multi-cultural Europe and waving 'Refugees Welcome' signs. When will people learn that this migrant invasion is not a good thing and that most of these people aren't even refugees. You wouldn't put a pitbull and a german shepherd that don't know each other in the same pen.

History / Is 5th partition of Poland possible? What kind? How? When? [73]

Lwow Eagle - Many Poles from Lwów were forced to relocate in Wroclaw.

Including my grandparents. I love Wroclaw - it's where I was born and most of my family resides. Has all the great things a big city would without all the traffic and ridiculous rent.

I don't think Poland's land borders are going to change anytime soon. I feel a partition would be more of the economic and political type.

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]


I agree with you - I'd love to see better relations with the Visegard 4 and Russia too. I think Poland can benefit a lot from trade with Russia - which the EU is preventing. As far as Polish society though, we've endured far too much throughout our entire history with Russia to not be russophobes. We're always going to be cautious. If maybe like 100+ years passed with no incidents, maybe opinion would change. Poles know their history very well and Russia has taken advantage of and abused Poland more times than I can count - partitions, WW2, katyn, Communism, Molotov-Ribbentrop, list goes on... I personally doubt though Poland and Russia will ever be buddy-buddy...

What are you talking about? Pope Paul III and the Inquisition are historical fact. Canon Llorente, Secratary of The Inquisition in Madrid, argues that as many as 3 million were tortured/beaten/condemned and 300,000 were burned - in Spain alone. The torture, imprisonment, and murder of intelligentsia, scientists, and people of other faiths is well documented - maybe the numbers are a bit high in some estimates, but this isn't propaganda. That's like saying the Holocaust never happened, even an anti-Zionist like myself can admit that the Holocaust is historical fact. Even Galileo and other academics had a lot of problems because the Church insisted the world was flat and the center of the universe. Do you realize how many popes were either sexually active during their pontificate, had legitimate/illegitimate children, or were even married? It's quite a bit - and here's a few names - Pope Innocent VIII (His name is 'innocent' yet he had 2 illegitimate children one of which became a nobleman and his son later became Pope Leo X - who after his death was accused of homosexuality), Pope John XII (turned the Papal Palace into a ********** - Pope Julius III (accused of being a sodomite, unmarried but had 3 daughters - after receiving holy orders, also had his best friend become a cardinal, Innocenzo Ciocchi del Monte , who was accused of raping many women and even shared a bed with the pope himself which was the cause of a huge scandal at the time), Pope Paul III (several illigitamite children - one of the sons became a duke), Pope Alexander VI - (multiple children with a local Italian woman from the time he became a priest and into his pontificate), Pope Sixtus IV (charged Rome's brothel's a 'church tax', known pederast, homosexual, and child molester - would give out posts in return for sexual favors, loved to watch naked boys dance on tables and watch them bend over and pick up nuts), Pope Benedict IX (inherited the papacy and later sold his title to a family member - murderer, rapist, and possibly even engaged in bestiality according to Saint Peter Damian) .... and there's many, many more... This only includes a few popes - this doesn't even include all the cardinals, bishops, and priests that have similarly done despicable acts. I read the Bible and I go to Church, but until the Catholic Church owns up to its own sins, I'm not going to give a crap about them preaching on about homosexuals, abortion, etc. when their own hierarchy has been engaged in, and covered up, the very same and often times even worse acts.

There may have even been a female pregnant pope, Pope Joan who dressed up as a man and millions viewed her as the top person in the church hierarchy - yet to this day there's no female priests in the Catholic church. Much of what we know about Pope Joan is a first hand account written by Platina, who was sponsored by the same pederast I mentioned earlier - Sixtus IV. Point is, the church did some really really awful things - it's gotten much better but it's still REALLY bad. In the 1990's alone, the Catholic Church paid out over $1billion dollars to settle with victims of sex abuse by clergy. Remember the scandal with Fr. Jay Mullin and what Cardinal Bernard Law had him do?


Exactly, and the women in Poland have decided they don't want Poland to turn into a theocracy and do not want a total ban on abortion.


Yes, absolutely - that is the purpose of church and religion. Nonetheless, you ought to practice what you preach. If even one out of 1,000 priests are engaged in molestation there should be a total outcry - not a cover up. Then people get a mixed message - pretend to be a chaste, humble person in tongue, but a sinner in action. When people see coverups of child molestation by priests, they don't take priests seriously as moral signposts.


Pencils have erasers because people make mistakes. Condoms aren't effective 100% of the time either. Thankfully we don't need to worry about that here as our laws aren't as draconian. However, if that option was unavailable the person it would hurt the most would be the child as neither the father nor the mother would've been able to give the kid a decent life.

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]


Not gonna happen. Poland never was a global power - even at its apex during the Commonwealth years it was still the 4th largest country in Europe and had no colonies abroad.

I do agree whole heartedly though that Poland needs to focus more on the Visegard 4, which I'd love to see Serbia join, and not focus so much on EU hegemony. Poles in wealthy EU countries are viewed as like Mexico/Mexicans here in the US - cheap, skilled labor and a great local place for low cost manufacturing.


Actually this is factual. Online trolling is actually a pretty lucrative position for a young person in Russia. I read about this a while back - the wages like $30 or something for a 12 hour shift - not bad money for a young Russian.

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]

I don't think Polish people generally steal a lot... I think it's more opportunistic theft or with the older generations just a lack of personal space. When we were building our home an old Polish lady would walk down the block with buckets and scoop up the fresh fill dirt we bought for our landscaping projects. I found it more funny than anything else.

Car theft was huge in Poland during the post Communist 90's - but that's a different story.
