History / Actually, there never was any Polish-German hatred [149]

Relax people, ksysia might be historically inaccurate but his intentions seems to be noble. A good Christian should not be a follower of primitive nationalism. This is not reasonable behaviour, you should not be useful idiots of some political movements raising over and over some historic issues (vide PiS). Neither useful idiots of other political movements which notoriously suggest that if you dare to disagree with policy of current German and Polish states then you are not good European (PO, SLD). Basically this is absolutely possible to hate both states and still have friendly attitude in personal relationship with individual Germans and Poles. By the way , this is often attitude of Poles towards Russia and Russian people.

Happy Easter!

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]

Catholics should finally acknowledge that without independent education system (including at home) their values and views wont preserve. Also general level of teaching is always better, this is well known fact. We should not be in relation of dependency from our toxic national states. European political establishment managed nearly to destroy (or make dependent) Catholic schools all over Europe. If this trend wont be stopped, we will struggle with our children until they will become adult "nobodies". Let be honest with ourselves, today master degree means very little. The state destroyed traditional and effective standards because their goal is to produce (on a mass scale) fools who would likely support PO, PIS, SLD, PSL and other useless political parties.

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

Just as long as you remember that Jewish is not a nationality.

I have seen two American Jews arguing about this issue. One seemed to be worried that if we define Jewishness to be something more than religious convictions then many would deny him the right to be an American as well. The second one was an atheist. Both of them would call you anti-Semite if you dare to disagree with their point of view. Funny enough...

History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]

Now we know who you talk about here.. Babyboomers are in control and let the "establishment" do these things. What can I say, things turn slowly in a big country.

You must be a really blind democrat if you think that people govern establishment. Democracy is just an illusion. Here politicians are happy, they love to see voters turning against each other. Democratic establishment is the only winner in this game.

The demand is extremely rising! And seeing how new that whole concept is it is no wonder it is not efficient....yet!
Give it another 25 years though...

No, everybody support green energy until they learn about costs. Corrupt socialists instead to help the poor people as they always used to say prefer to force them to pay higher bills.

Make it efficient and then people would switch voluntary!

I always find that thinking funny as for example Germany was always big on welfare and beaureucracy and still managed to be a highly efficient and successful society and economy!
Not to talk about the scandinavian countries as another example, all are alot more regulated
than the US - but nobody would call them less successful or a "sh*ithole"!

Germany deserve its prosperity to good working ethic, bureaucracy is always an obstacle. Now when welfare is stronger than ever before and slowly undermining this traditional working ethnic present in this society. Effects we already see, no GDP grow.

Also if one feel to be a cow then Scandinavia seems to be a good place to live. Forgive me BB, I'm human!

Remind me again, where did the biggest economic crisis of the modern times stem from?
Regulated Europe or unregulated US/UK???

Both of course, the US is not so unregulated as you claim. All this credit insanity was provoked by state regulations. The EU simply created good propaganda apparatus, blame the US, everything is so simple. The same about Putin, his own flawed policies lead to crisis in Russia. Of corse he blame the US. Ridiculous, the US has its faults but the fact that so few here is able to point out failure of domestic policies is completely ridiculous.

Well...it will make the future students in the EU more mobile and hence better suited to adapt to the new and bigger markets...they will profit from it in the end.
The whole of Europe will be open to them to study and to search for work, much more possibilities for them.

I'm a liberal and know very well what have to be done to archive such results without any sacrifices. Plenty of famous European scientists of past ages studied aboard and somehow state control of universities was not needed! Of course the EU must handle everything, control mania of this newborn state could be compared to old declarations of Benito Mussolini.

The EU cannot even run free trade zone. Limits, quotas, licences, directives this is something that every creative EU citizen must swallow. When I read that Spanish state was fined because Spanish farmers produced too much milk I wonder in what world I'm living. In Africa they would welcome such development for sure, the same in Asia or Americas, but for modern Europe this is unacceptable. This is simply insane, from the perspective of general social gains. However this is understandable from perspective of EU establishment who gladly accept all bribes and produce such "flowers".

I really doubt that stopping to talk about it will do a thing against the pollution...
Behaving like the three apes...you know: Not seeing/Not hearing/Not telling is a first class ticket into the catastrophe!

If they would transfer all cash spend on fighting global warming to reduce real pollution then at least one problem could be partially solved.

I will tell you something. Long ago, among tribal societies there were people called shamans. Those were wise but dishonest people who learned about wheather and used this knowledge to manipulate ignorant masses. They prospered really nicely.

I'm sorry to say but in XXI century in Europe or the US nothing changed. Modern shamans like Al Gore earn big bucks on talking complete rubbish to ignorant masses.

Well, not really.. You study economics , right? You want to tell me the US is not in serious decline? It is.. mostly because of these idiotic decisions made by these babyboomers. I'm sorry but it is true

I study economic only in this sense that this is one of my hobbies. Anyway, you looking at current problems from strange perspective. No generation ever signed any bill. You cannot blame average people for stupid policy in this case of American establishment. Certain people influenced by certain lobbies signed certain bills who encouraged people to take credits. Average person is responsible for its own mistakes and should face consequences. This is happening and there is no need for you to bash them. People make mistakes and they will always do.

How about establishment? Those who in fact created such trend wont face any consequences! So, here we have real problem. Here you should transfer you anger.

Not only do the decisions effect us but also Europe.

European problems have its source in Europe itself. Do you know that over here you need to have a paper (not free of charge of course!) to even change a light bulb. :) Just wait till they will chase people who still have some common sense and are able to change a light bulb without passing exams and without paying. Those socialists ruining this civilization, because you get automatically retard treatment. People treated like retards slowly become retarded indeed.

However middle class has international connections when it sees its interests in danger in one place it intervenes to save them.Most of EU is middle class network between european countries.

So you seems to recognize Marxist theory of class struggle?

It's much easier to be successful in the US than it is in Europe if you come from modest means.

Well said, Europe is a socialist sh*thole. You always need tones of papers to start something and all of this cost tones of money. A pity that Americans seems rather to start follow European way of thinking, this is not the road to prosperity for sure. Think twice before you let bureaucrats to run your life, if once they gain too much influence only some serious social turmoil may remove them.

The new EU-university reform will lead to a streamlining of universities across the EU, meaning that you can get your degree in one country and get accepted with it later in the whole of Europe...how is that for mobility and chances!

University should be outside of state control but the EU must handle everything. Same about socialist Polish state and probably the rest of socialist Europe. Kick out politicians from university, leave it to professors!

This system will always be sick as long as people wont understand that this is up to employer to recognize or not degrees from various university around the world. This is not a job of state bureaucrat. The first create jobs, the second is just a parasite who try to make it harder for everybody else.

I don't think so Eurola...green technology is a necessity, not only a trend, and will only grow as it has only just begun. The demand is rising enormously.

The demand is not rising, because it is still inefficient.

Hence the ABSOLUTE NEED for green tech to stop at least the polluting at home...

One thing is to reduce pollution and the second talking BS about global warming. Socialists of course do the latter thing.

Look at what your babyboomer generation has done to one of the greatest economic machines ever conceived. .. and still you don't get it do you? Only: Profit, profit, profit, money, money, money. Now my poor generation has to clean up and pay for your idiocy.

Babyboomers, yours obsession :) Amazing how do you identify with your generation. Just wait to hear similar nonsense from you children and grandchildren.

Also the more of any thing the less it is worth, if everyone in your village has a thousand cabbages, the cabbage is worthless, it is the same for money, hence hyperinflation.

Well said. I will just add few words about superiority of gold standard over paper money. Since humanity passed some stage in development, demand for gold started. This is why gold became a currency. Gold is not a popular currency any more but there is still demand for gold. Gold is still widely considered valuable and costly to obtain.

How about paper money? Paper itself is so widely used and thus it is worth nearly nothing. Politicians gave people just false illusion. Today they say that paper money is worth something, tomorrow this may change. Look at Ukraine at the moment. Politicians may easy print new paper money and by doing this cheat taxpayers (more money, lesser value). On polish banknotes there is written at least that Polish Central Bank is responsible for this currency. European Union failed even to print anything like that on their banknotes, while public debt growing and growing. One doesn't need to be a genius to figure out that this currency will lost its imaginary value in the future.

allowing every member of society to participate in the decision-making process in both the political and economic spheres of life.
I suspect this can only be achieved when all people are on the same plane of consciousness. It's the job of philosophers/religions/inspired leaders to put us all on the same plane.

It can never be achieved, stop dreaming...

there was no communism in poland. it was russian nationalism that used socialism.

This is why Russian nationalists were wiped out in the SU? The most famous Russian nationalist was Alexander Solzhenitsyn who wrote long books about communist crimes. Instead to blame Russian people (what is extremely boring btw), you should finally admit that socialism lead to oppressive dictatorship.

democracy is about how you want to live

and also how you want to force other to live. Keep this in mind because this is actually the most important part of democracy.

capitalist mentality is based on selfishness

Selfishness is a virtue, to a certain degree of course. This is one of the things that push this world forward. If most of people would be idealistic altruists by all means then we would still live in caves. There is unhealthy selfishness behind socialism as well. Why unhealthy? Because socialist demand property of other people and such attitude is considered negatively all over the world. Use your talents to earn money rather than become a social parasite.

The man on the street may not be responsible for the situation of the world but he is responsible for his own behaviour.

This is of course true.

In a democracy he's also responsible for choosing the "guy in the corner".

Here is a trap. You could also write that we could democratically decide how to dismantle biological bomb. People are no more competent to choose this "guy in the corner". Let face it, most of them have no clue. It is just media controlled by those "guys in the corner" tell them that they are competent enough and provide a list of electable "guys in the corner". Basically this is controlled oligarchy, people are just provided nice illusion that they are the most important deciders. Of course there is no such thing like "collective responsibility", from the start we know that nobody will be punished.

My God the polish are lenient, they would have got at least 80 hours community service or a 6 month suspended sentence in the UK!!!

I think that they should be fined financially (if this is first time), ten years prison sound ridiculous. I bet that penalty for rape is way less severe. Silly states, silly laws.

Harry:
In the real world telling somebody to do something if they want to stay alive is illegal and a criminal has no claim to any benefits resulting from their crime.

Harry, you (purposefully?) forgetting that was during the war. Nothing was normal or legal. Don't try to be cute and compare war circumstances with peaceful times.

Harry have a point here. Every legal system have also special laws if war happen. The rest is unchanged. I strongly doubt whether there was such legislation in II RP or III Reich.

Nuremberg Tribunal was idiotic because instead to handle Germany to proper hands, international community decided to create shady political court. National Socialist war criminals should be sentenced according to laws of Third Reich. They would all get death penalty without any doubts. Same about Soviet butchers, anybody who bothered to read Soviet Constitution know how illegal was their rule.

Look, the portraits were to be used as evidence in support for nazi theories about the genetic inferiority of Roma. To the extent that she did what Mengele wanted, she was in fact complicit in persecution of the Roma (yes she was also a victim herself, but that doesn't mean she wasn't complicit in victimising others, even if she was only doing so to survive).

This is good point. But on other hand what is the right of museum to these pictures? Personally I think that all such camps should be razed to the ground right after all investigations were over. This is just a reason to stir ethnic conflicts. Every little disagreement over anything is taken out of proportion by media which search for sensation. Beside of that, less evil people see, less evil they may become. One could say a lot about negative influence of TV or computer games. This event push border of "absolute evil" too far for an average people.

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

Jonni and enkidu differently define "Polish president". According to Jonni "Polish president" is an official leader of the state which consist word "Poland" in its name. According to enkidu "Polish president" is an official leader of of the state supported by majority of people living in what they consider "Polish state". Thus you both cannot agree until you accept the same definition.

The case itself is simple. British government was allied with Polish government on exile as long as they considered them to be a force helpful to realize their goals. After the war Polish government on exile lost this status in the eyes of British establishment and new communist government in Poland gained it. British government betrayed Polish government on exile, cynicism (money) are always dominant attitude (reason) in what we call politics. If there was any political idealism present among establishment in the past, it is long gone. IIIRP appeared on the maps not so long ago but already managed to do something similar to Serbia.

Cracovia has a point. Although this is wrong to reduce your attitude towards police only to their policy towards football fans. This policy is just wrong, media, football federation and football clubs are also partly to blame. A citizen cannot be treated automatically as a dangerous suspect. Many of them aren't too bright and treated like that they start to identify with this role. The point is to punish criminals properly and not to treat any social group as a potential criminals.

Is that too much to ask for? I don't think so.

Chinese establishment don't believe that this is their final goal. Neither I do.

he is simply taking the middle path. it is an important aspect of buddism

If one is a pushover then Buddhism seems to be appropriate religion.

Maybe he wanted to say 'Poland has retained its spirits'. How does the Dalai Lama know what the Polish spirit is anyway?

There is no sense to dig into some deeper sense of this comment. This is usual diplomatic BS. In Somalia he would talk about Somali spirit.

I assume you are aware of the "Free Tibet" campaign.
Or are you suggesting they are better off under China's regime?

I rather don't follow developments of movements which objectively cannot succeed. However I assume that vast majority of people who openly identify themselves with this campaign live outside of China.

I think that China have a chance to move forward. I see no such perspectives for Tibet which would realize theoretical concepts of Dalai Lama.

Norman Davies described the previous system in Poland as a spider web of unlawfulness and mediocrity. Korwin-Mikke is noting that this spider web had not given up after 1989 - it has simply changed the name and appearance.

Let be realistic, no regime is willing to surrender its power. Whether this is king, dictator, political party or democratic establishment, this doesn't really matter. Enemies of ruling class wont be tolerated. Do you think that the EU would accept results of pan-European and democratic referendum which would create one great Catholic monarchy? Of course not, the will of people would be ignored. The EU doesn't even allow people to decide about shape of this supposedly democratic newborn empire.

When Ziobro wanted to be Attorney General and put the mobster behind bars, the entire party was pictured as fascist. (while it is in fact socialist, pro-benefits et c.)

At least Kaczynski is trying to put them in jail. Not that he's dome much good to the economy, being a silly socialist. But PO is not a capitalist party either.

Anti-PiS propaganda should not be confused with real intentions of this party. Kaczynski want to earn political capital eternally chasing bad guys. He need them like a fresh air, they cannot disappear or be imprisoned.

I 100% agree about PO, there is a lot of people in this party who lacking elementary knowledge about liberalism. Those few with proper theoretical background care about their own particular business anyway, thus they support pan European socialist superstate.

One can't indeed be atheist in one place and christian/jewish/muslim/hindu/scientologist/buddhist in another. One can however respect the principle that religion is a private matter, and the workplace is not a place for it.

One cannot stick to Christian concept of morality at home, only to switch to something else at work. This is just propaganda of atheist left that something like this is possible.

The EU as an entity is neither christian or any other religion. It is secular. Its citizens are free to believe in something or not. The EU does not interfere withthat.

Secular, it means that only atheists or Christians by the name only are allowed to hold important posts in this clearly anti-Christian institution. When I write anti-Christian I mean policies run by the EU which very often contradict Christian teachings. This is just another reason why the EU cease to exist.

Because people can learn the messages for themselves, lesser, and not contribute to a profit-making organisation.

People can learn from authority and they are not authority for themselves. You are a teacher yourself, you should know better. If a child would not consider you as an authority in some certain area of knowledge then wont bother by your lessons. Why don't you advocate children and adults to learn everything from themselves. Generational progress is highly unlikely with such logic applied.

Beside of that, perhaps atheist left would organize some help for Africa to replace Catholic missionaries? Oh I forgot they already send millions of condoms, how generous! :) Perhaps atheist left would organize colonies for poor children, run orphanages, organize football leagues for children? Oh I forgot, currently they plan to settle "condom machine" in each every school, how generous! :) Perhaps atheist left would offer as much attraction to elderly people as the Catholic Church does? Oh I forgot, they offer them euthanasia free of charge (translation - paid by taxpayers) and those who they consider the greatest would be put into a giant condom like Lenin 85 years ago! :) If only atheist left would remove condoms out of their heads then they would perceive reality how it is. Refraction effect is very misleading, this is scientifically proved :)

I have. Please elaborate with a provision. There are plenty to show that an intermediary was not intended by Christ at all.

This must be just your interpretation. Show me the quote when Jesus saying that there should not be any priests? Jesus said to his apostles, go teach all nations. In the meantime clergy was created, people who cared the most. This is old and successful tradition and I'm curious why do you seems to be so negative about it? If priesthood is the best option to spread Christian message, I'm all for it. Why to oppose?

Grace is, by definition and nature, unmerited. You believe in congruous merit, I'm sure.

This is not so obvious. You must at least be sorry of your wrongdoings and promise to improve to be offered God's grace. This is small but still a merit. What do you think that Christian concept of hell is example of God's grace? :)

esser, why is contrition, confession and satisfaction needed when Christ has already cleansed you by grace? (Romans 4 through 8) Expiation is unclear as you forever strive for justification under Trent whereas Protestants see it as one event through imputation and not a transforming event through infusion

Catholic Church did a great job in Ireland and some incidental examples of immoral behaviour of individual members wont affect overall pictures. The point is that people openly hostile to the CC will always underline every misbehaviour of each every priest and never mention good job of the rest of clergy. Who grew up in Catholic country knows very well activity of the CC and wont be fooled by claims of outsiders like yourself.

That's the problem with your thinking. There is absolutely no reason why Poland should have this moral superiority complex as they are one of the receivers of EU money...

I was talking about personal inferiority complex that you seems to have. I'm not a collectivist socialist and I don't believe that nations or states might have inferiority of superiority complex. This is personal question.

I know that you will underline "your" Dutch supposed help to "mine" Poland. This is all so fake. Firstly we don't know whether you would personally give us anything if this would depend from your own will. Secondary, I never asked for any help. What is more I oppose the EU claims to Poland.

Perhaps, lesser, perhaps. Why would you say that, though?

Catholics recognize authority of Vatican based (or recognized by Vatican) theologians. They consider them competent to interpret Bible, teaching of Christ. Protestants on other hand, may absorb such interpretations from anybody and often make such interpretations themselves. Protestantism have difficulty to keep constant line, unlike the CC. People are targeted by more and more modern theories, they are divided on more and more sects. This explain why there is so many Protestant sects, because essence of Protestantism is an endless protest. At the end of the road, there is atheism. One could say, the last protest. Take a look at gaa posting. She seems to be ashamed of religion and this ios first step towards atheism. She might even follow her personal beliefs in this form how she confessed here. However there is high possibility that she wont pass even this to her children and they will become atheists at least until late middle age.

you ask me why i'm catholic and it's like why are you an atheist.you can easily google what catholics believe in:) you either believe or not.

Yes but according to your previous replies, this logic don't apply to your way of being. Thus, Seanus has the right to be confused.

And I'm still waiting for the first scandals of priests abusing kids within the Catholic church.

Open minded person would not wish such situations to happen. You are simply blinded by hate if you wish to see abused children just to proof your silly thesis.

And the Vatican? Who is taking the Vatican still serious nowadays?

You meet here many people absolutely friendly to Vatican. Do you see only things that you like to see?
