News / Poland in the European Union. Polexit? [559]

I think that's a brilliant and quite sensible policy and system of disseminating information. There is a plethora of information on legal immigration to the United States, obviously this information is heavily tracked. I think the quotas you stated are reasonable, I'd like to see legal immigration brought down to about 100,000-300,000 persons per year in the United States, versus 1.49 million last year.

News / EU confirms it will take action against Poland over court reforms [554]

@Atch

I read the article."that Poland appears no longer to accept that there are common European values which must be respected". Hahaha, that is so rich coming from anyone in government in western Europe.

A better strategy to solve this (not applicable to this specific case), is for Ireland not to agree to any extradition requests from other countries. In the U.S. we do not extradite our citizens, even to stand trial in the U.K.

I don't think there's any reason to make a woman deliver an unviable fetus, I'm a bit repulsed by people who use abortion in lieu of birth control, but really don't care about this issue as it's too contentious. However to the quoted text, it would be only fair to improperly label all 55,000 of them as commies, since the previous march of 60,000 patriots celebrating Poland's independence were labeled Nazi's due to only a few hundred skinheads marching alongside 60,000 patriots. Seems only fair.

@delphiandomine

The way we associate your home country with a record number of acid attacks brought to you by "Asians," who hail from a culture with exactly 0 redeeming or worthwhile qualities. Saw the latest of 7 convicted today for running a multi year child rape gang, and they stated they targeted the children based on them being white. Just figured I'd take this opportunity to both rebut your statement with a few other facts, and remind you of the great harm that the policies you support are causing to innocent children in the UK. Have a good evening.

I think we know it, AIPAC is the largest lobby in Washington by dollars. We have a very unhealthy relationship with that COUNTRY. I have to make the delineation between the state, and the religion of course, because unless you are unquestioning and sing praise on the apartheid state, you may risk being called an anti-semite. I think Jews are lovely people, the current right wing government however would gain massive approval from a 1970s era South African government.

Hmm...can we take this in a different direction, maybe you two could knock it off.

As far as feminism goes it's a joke in America. They've allied themselves with actual communists who denigrate capitalism, with the domestic terrorist organizations Antifa and Black Lives Matter. What any of those orgs have to do with feminism is totally beyond me. I think the movement had some purpose years ago, but as far as the 3rd wavers, bunch of extremely fat lards with purple hair who didn't get enough hugs looking for a way to be relevant. And they spout all that 'body acceptance' for literally being obese and unhealthy.

I'm totally fine with women terminating pregnancy due to rape or an unviable fetus, only a sick bastard would make a woman deliver a baby that will die shortly after birth.

Law / Weapons laws in Poland. Carrying a concealed handgun? [918]

The conflict in Syria has maybe 1 year left on the clock before the legitimate government reasserts control over the majority of the territory save for perhaps the small parts which the terrorist government of Turkey is occupying. The sooner that western nations stop sponsoring proxy forces in the country the sooner the bloodshed will end. It seems to be too difficult for them to save face and admit that the gig is up.

Hopefully when that time comes, the lion share of those who've come into Europe will be repatriated to their country of origin and people who loathe and despise everything that we stand for in the West will be gone and some of the gun crime and rapes can be abbated.

News / Thousands of Polish women attend Czarny Piątek rally in Warsaw [780]

That's immaterial. It's a fact that the neo Nazi element numbered only a few hundred people from all legitimate reporting, save for CNN. They used that opportunity to slander Poland for not kowtowing to their multicultural wet dream.

News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

Why is it a concern for you? It's pretty clear that someone as pretentious as you only shops in Whole Foods anyway. Also, if you don't like it in the states, you're welcome to leave and not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Again, is there anything at all you like about the United States? You take every opportunity to trash it, and pick some rather trivial topics to do so. I have legitimate criticisms about my own country (the US, my country, not yours), but I'm intelligent enough to have a nuanced opinion, and none of my criticisms revolve around the optional purchases and quality of junk food, ffs.

News / Thousands of Polish women attend Czarny Piątek rally in Warsaw [780]

If 300 people carrying a red flag with a hammer and sickle wearing Lenin t-shirts show up at your next favorite left wing event, should I find that troubling and paint the other 60,000 reasonable left leaning folks with a broad brush? The fact 300 idiots showed up to an apolitical event, a national event, says absolutely nothing and you're drawing an inference where absolutely none exists. I think the real crux of your underlying argument is that you despise patriotism and nation-states, and if that is the case, just say so.

News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

Lol...I suppose when you're bested the only solution is to take something wildly out of context. I guess when you hate the country you live in you'll find the most ridiculous things to criticize it for. Really, the quality of junk food in the US versus the EU? I have a solution, don't buy it. Your posts about America are collectively some of the most ungrateful and self-righteous I've read. You live under the banner of protection and economic prosperity the country provides, but yet you have NOTHING positive to say about it.

I'd love to hear what you have to say about our men and women serving in the armed forces, or about defense contractors like myself living away from our loved ones. We're baby killers right?

News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

I think that my assumption is right in line with your politics, the type who denigrate our law enforcement and service members, but then hide behind the very security they provide. The other half of your post is ridiculous as no one is "pro Nazi." You've yet to answer the question as to whether you have anything positive to say at all about America, so far as I can tell the totality of your posts have nothing but negative things to say about our country, comprehend that.

Absolutely nothing wrong with interracial marriages and dating, people should be free to love who they love. There is something wrong with 'promoting' it, because it's a political agenda. Diversity just for the sake of diversity is as immoral as trying to stop natural diversity. The social engineering agenda by the left needs to end, it is fueling Europe further and further right, at the moment its moderates, I'd it continues it won't be moderates anymore as the right goes further into the extreme to counter balance the radical leftism that's become the status quo in the past 10 years.

Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]

I didn't think you would be disingenous enough to tout your cousins anecdotal evidence over actual reporting of facts. I thought we might be operating on a level of intellectual mutual respect, but I guess I was wrong and you value your ideology over that of facts and evidence which might call that into question. I'm disappointed.

Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]

Yes because what Europe needs after a dark history with one of the single worst anti-semetic event in history, is to import thousands of people who all share an ultraconservative ideology and whose religion tells them to "kill the Jew wherever you find him"(actual quote from their book). That is the overarching point, one of bigger policy, and that you would he hard pressed to find ANY of them from MENA countries who don't share anti-semetism in common, supported by Pew Research polls, some of the most reliable and nonpartisan in the world.

Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]

Their reprehensible behavior does not excuse another groups reprehensible behavior (but keep constructing straw man arguments in true anti-intellectual fashion). I think the distinction that I'd make is that most of us in the western world condemn these 'master race' idiots, but those from MENA countries endorse the sort of things that are said in the below video. I actually care about protecting our Jewish friends from persecution and marginalization in Europe and around the world. You seem rather more concerned with your agenda.

youtu.be/EQD6GS0nqE0

I'm sorry that the Pew Research center (the gold standard in polling, accepted by all as non-partisan) conducted research which proves quite contrary to your world view. Facts do not care about your feelings.

Love / Trying to get Married in Poland - I'm English, my bride to be is Polish [7]

Going through the same thing at the moment. The way I understand it is to have a court certify it after collecting your documents and getting a statement from your home of record that your legally eligible to be married, and having your documents translated into Polish via an official translator. After it gets certified you have 30 days to get married. That's roughly the way it's been explained to me. I'm sure some other members have actually done it recently.

Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]

Disingenuous in what way? Is the litmus test to cite facts from journalistic stories that we need to visit all 190 countries on Earth to be able to opine on them? That seems rather ridiculous doesn't it. You and other members on here have commented on the Syrian conflict, does that mean you have to visit Eastern Ghouta to know that you don't want to go there? Jon, its ok for you to concede that these things did indeed happen, I wouldn't consider Sweden a lost country on the State Departments travel warning list, we are just discussing a new reality in SOME parts of Sweden, no one said "all." Taking statements of fact out of context to suit your own argument, and more importantly to suit your biased agenda, THAT is disingenuous. I am sure that Stockholm is a beautiful place, and that Sweden is a relatively safe country, but these events are not fabrications as far as I can tell, and they are worth discussing and deserve your attention. Denigrating a victim of rape is absolutely disgusting simply because it lends some evidence to the fact that a percentage of people being given asylum in European countries are not nice people, who have never should be let in in the first place. It doens't mean that asylum must end, just that perhaps the number of people admitted, and the screening process for admitting them should be revised. Must you be such an absolutist in your ideology that you will ignore credible victims of rape, grenade attacks, and 'Death to Jews' rallies to suit your own agenda? That's disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. Worse still, people that share your ideology and those who actually matter with their hands on the levers of power, will continue to fuel a resurgent far right-wing in Europe. We are lucky at the moment, we simply have right-of-center governments taking power across Europe. However, keep doubling down on stupid and it remains to be seen whether you will not push that marker into areas of the right we would all rather not see.

Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]

I was agreeing that its NOT on the travel warning list. You didn't address anything I said., which I take as your tacit acknowledgement that you are in fact being disingenous, discount the experiences of rape victims of asylees, and are so blinded by ideology that you refuse to even concede that these events happen, no matter how uncomfortable. It is essentially pointless to engage with you on here, because it's not a two-way conversation, it's your short quips to satisfy your own ego and self aggrandizement so you can convince yourself you're the smartest person in the room (youre not). Good day.

Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]

I've pointed this out so many times I almost sick of saying it. I'll say it again only because I enjoy rubbing it in that their world view is absolutely collapsing, their politics are garbage, and their virtue signalling social justice warrior engineering is causing an enormous amount of harm to innocent CITIZENS. I want to reiterate CITIZENS, as citizenship is REAL and it matters. A nations entire point of existing is to provide security for its citizens. Non-citizens are not entitled to, nor do they deserve the same things as CITIZENS. Those making these policies and those advocating (members of this forum) for these policies are insulated and largely unaffected. Their lack of compassion displayed earlier in this thread, particular Delph's dismissal of a victim of rape, shows that they're wholly unconcerned with the working poor and lower middle class becoming the victims of migrant crime. So blinded by ideology, that they must stick to it despite the consequences. It has a striking similarity to those who were devotees of communism, where despite bread lines, a lack of resources in general, and a curtailing of all manner of civil liberties they stayed devoted to the overarching ideology of an equality of outcome. Many more people will have to die, many more will be raped, assaulted, and suffer grievous bodily injury before there is a change in policy. I wonder what it would take in Sweden, where even an MP who was raped by a migrant was reluctant to bring her case forward because she feared it would imperil her assaulter asylum case. A sick sick immoral ideology and world view.

p.s.- the only reason Delph and Jon are insulated from it is because of the conviction of the Polish government and their moral and principled position of putting citizens first above barbarians. Thanks PiS.

We agree on that. When I graduated undergrad in 2010 there was a hint of this, but for the most part college was a place where you learned how to think critically and evaluate arguments in a critical way. That's since been replaced with arguments from emotion which are wildly subjective and not based in reality. Add to that the prevalence of shutting down opposition opinions with bombastic labels and sometimes violence.

To stay on topic. Where can I find the political affiliation and break down of those in attendance?

News / "It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]


They're already victimized by the type of society you espouse. People in Britain have been put in a cage for SAYING mean things about Islam, an ideology, like all other ideologies which deserves intense scrutiny and criticism. I've read the things they said, and I don't find any of them to rise to the level of inciting hatred. Speaking the truth about certain dark aspects within a broader group/ideology/society is not inciting hatred. It may lead to that, because those bad actors are doing things which are generally uncivilized and have no place in a modern 1st world democracy, but that is the ideologies problem, not the people who point it out.

We have REAL problems in this world Jon. People are food insecure across the world, 947 million people still use an outside toilet. Yet the society you espouse wants to spend our valuable legislative time deciding what bathroom a mentally ill person who thinks they're a sex other than the one they were born with wants to use. You look at the push back and say "uneducated" "hillbillies" or add some other insult into the mix toward people who don't subscribe to the society you espouse. Yea, because those people feel victimized when their neighborhoods are over run with foreigners, and when their low-skilled jobs are either sent offshore or taken by people offering their labour for a lower wage. You look at these people with disdain and disgust, and I look at them with compassion. I am blessed and lucky to have had the opportunities I did growing up, and eternally GRATEFUL to have a high paying career that affords me most of the luxuries in life. I know however, that the vast majority of people in my country do not live a privileged life like that, and do not have the opportunities I had. I don't despise those people, I hope that we can improve those peoples lot in life. Btw, by those people, I mean CITIZENS of my country of origin, and non-citizens who are highly skilled and educated that contribute to my country's economy.
