Profoundly Peculiar and Perplexing Proclivities: Probing PRL Personality Patterns Paraded in Public

#1 Although you are highly status-conscious and go out of your way to ostentatiously display your modest progress in life to anyone within eyesight, you still automatically assume that everyone you talk to (or, more accurately, talk at) shares your faith in left-wing ideals - as if living in the EU is just PRL 2.0, with Brussels handing down directives and subsidies instead of Moscow doing the same.

Nice alliteration in the title.

As for probing communist proclivities, will you agree that you are troubled with one in case of Polish Jews whom you hate just like Polish communists did in 1968 when they expulsed 10.000 Jewish Poles/Polesses for their origin???

Nice attempt at derailing this interesting (and obviously personally embarrassing for you) topic by changing the subject - but it won't work. :)

Be that as it may, you answered your own question (which has also been discussed ad nauseam over the decades in other threads): Jews were asked to leave and had no problem doing so. Poles, however, were not. :)

Yes, it seems so coz you are evading while the question was quite justified.

Jews were asked to leave

You see how you suit nicely in communist boots??? They also claimed it, while the truth is Jews were forced to leave after they were deprived of their work and their kids were expelled from schools and universities.

had no problem

You are lying all the time, just like communists, you commie follower!:

And the thought that some secret police officers could throw me out of Poland never even occurred to me - Poland is where I am!

Wasn't it 1968 when one of our other members here migrated to the United States from Poland ?

I don't think there is one here.

It's called a "p|ssing contest", a bonehead recreational activity that many here are addicted to.

The internet has that strange effect on some.

And I still can't figure out what a previous Polish system has to do with the EU or why this thread exists.

No, Novi had emigrated earlier, in 1965 or 66.

Polo was just warming up with his first post when I asked a surprising question which disconcerted him completely coz he hadn`t predicted this thread could refer to him as well. :):):)

#2 Always be late to a meeting or social gathering announced far in advance, even if there have been regular reminders.

A-L-W-A-Y-S!

Aim to be at least 20 minutes late, but preferably 60. Consistency is key, but don't forget the competitive edge! If you notice a fellow PRLer is beating you in the lateness game, adjust your timing for the next event. Make sure you're always running behind with intent, but never outdone by a rival.

Do everything in your power to take control of the proceedings and maximize your display of self-importance - either by knowing you can delay the start of the event with your tardiness or by causing the maximum amount of disruption once it's already underway and you finally deign to show up and noisily grace everyone with your presence.

If there's an entry fee, especially for a fundraiser, don't just be late - use it as leverage to haggle for a discount or free entry since you missed the start. Be sure to loudly and dramatically claim that absolutely everything conspired against you, preventing you from being on time - from getting out of your house to traveling to the event. It was all out of your hands. Bonus points if you assert that you've already paid online or mailed a check, even though you know you didn't because such options were never available and can be easily disproved on the spot.

When your first attempts at securing a discount or free entry aren't gaining traction, don't worry - you've got a backup plan! With a grin full of duping delight, claim you forgot your payment card, even though it's right there in your wallet or purse, knowing full well that any transaction will be declined and you'd rather not be exposed as the indigent fraud you really are. When told that cash is accepted, make an exaggerated show of checking your pockets, then, with a reluctant sigh, pull out the largest (and very likely counterfeit) single note available - far more than the entire entry fee - just to let everyone know that, in theory, you could afford it, if you were ever willing to part with it.

When told there's not enough change to give you, confidently declare that this is all you have, using it as a last-ditch effort to get in for free. Then, when asked to find a bank or shop nearby to get smaller notes, dig begrudgingly deeper into your pockets - because, of course, that's where you keep your "emergency funds." With visible reluctance to pay the entry fee and frustration at being thwarted in your attempt to scam your way in, you miraculously produce the exact amount needed, but only because you're too embarrassed to leave in disgrace. It's the perfect way to turn a simple transaction into your own theatrical display of financial martyrdom.

But that's okay - you slough it off, because incidents like this just reinforce your sophomoric belief that your Marxist-Leninist teachings were right all along. After all, it's simply not fair to have choices and have to pay for them. Isn't it "to each according to his need" - or was it greed?

Now, provide a 3 line summary of this blabber. :):):)

Now, provide a 3 line summary of this blabber

An oldish book called "Uncle Setnakh's Letters to a Young Satanist" says it in one line, and has a few more tips besides. Worth reading and the author nowadays follows a less radical spiritual path. A very nice guy in fact, lives in Texas.

If he's trying to be witty it just comes across as verbose and somewhat jejeune and heavy.. He needs to be more sparing with prose and also include less of the political stuff which is a bore.

Strzelec, who used to post here, had a good prose style. Some of his stuff under an earlier username about the mean streets of Dąbrowa Górniczą were well written.
