I would love to move back to the mother land as I do not see the decadent US as a viable future place of residence or to raise children. But, if I a man of Polish descent may have trouble integrating, what makes others think they will integrate too?<br /><br />I have always been somewhat amazed at the constant praise that people bestow Poland as a model nation and assuming they would fit right in. Poland is quite an insular nation, even though the elites are trying to destroy that.<br /><br />On a side note, be skeptical of PUA's who claim Poland, Polish women, and clubs/pick up in Poland are easy. If you have spent any time in Poland or been to clubs anywhere in Poland you will easily nationalistic tendencies and disdain for foreigners. There is a good chance you may get your ass beat if you make the wrong moves. Polish males tend to be hyper aggressive, though you may see them praying attentively at church on Sunday and helping old ladies cross the street, don't be surprised to find yourself knocked out with a broken jaw.<br /><br />Without "plecy" (translation, your friends/group having your back) you should be wary of PUAing in Poland, regardless of whether you are native Polish or a foreigner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-81272517123465519492013-03-21T09:56:58.278-07:002013-03-21T09:56:58.278-07:00Nutter is learning from the muslims: shut down cri...<i>Nutter is learning from the muslims: shut down criticism by threatening straightforward violence, not legal action.

Meanwhile, you might move to the Dakotas or Maine.<br /><br />That said, there are probably several European countries that are in better shape than USA in this regard. The fact that many European countries have low birthrates should work in your favor over the long run.<br /><br />Maybe we can engineer some kind of deal with Japan - people with no criminal record and at least X million dollars in net worth are allowed to immigrate there!

Wouldn't it be great if you went to a school that only had one black kid? She did. How'd she get so lucky? She shows a great capacity for gratitude and expresses it by bashing her employer in a competitor's website. <br /><br />Here's a sample:<br /><br />"Bob Huber seems fixated on what white people are allowed to say about black people.

David fashioned himself an urban pioneer. He had bought a slum building on Capitol Hill a few blocks from where Congress met.<br /><br />He also fashioned himself financially astute. He realized that US pennies contained more than a penny's worth of copper. He hoarded penny's in a big box he kept in his kitchen. One day a neighbor kicked down his back door and stole his box. I always thought that was ironic - or should I say cupric?<br /><br />David was a gentrifier. He was there to restore the neighborhood but like everyone else I've ever heard of who did that - he was young not old.<br /><br />The real variable of course is race. But that fact seems to have been occluded deliberately by commentators through the use of an association with age. <br /><br />There are lots of 'gentrified' urban neighborhoods now. What was the mean age of the home owners when they moved in?<br /><br />There is another group also often overlooked - the gays. In San Francisco the major force for gentrification of run down neighborhoods was the invasion of young gay couples. A pair of gay men will have two people in the house who will ascend a ladder to fix the roof. I don't believe there have ever been any straight couples like that. Women are far too sensible.<br /><br />The Castro region was a very tired part of the City before the gays moved in. You could see the progress of the gay invasion by the fresh paint. Gay marriage - it is seldom mentioned by the media - is very good for property values.<br /><br />It's like that odd term 'homophobic'. In San Francisco I was afraid of all the minorities except the gays.<br /><br />But gay neighborhood restoration like white restoration are both hidden under the term of gentrification, as if people my age were responsible. <br /><br />AlbertosaurusPat Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477950851915567863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-15736720474940880492013-03-18T10:45:54.034-07:002013-03-18T10:45:54.034-07:00Whenever someone says someehing such as "free...<i>Whenever someone says someehing such as "freedom of speech is not an unfettered right," I respond in pun with the chat room acronym, "OIC."</i><br /><br />One thing the gun "debate" has driven home for me is how flimsy the liberal regard for rights really is. These are the people that find the right to privacy and in utero murder in the Constitution, but deny the right to keep and bear arms with straight-faced semantic quibbles openly based on illiteracy as argument. They say that the first clause in the 2nd somehow limits the second, declarative cause, like this:<br /><br />"Now Jane, Joe, your mother and I are going out to a party to have fun; while we are gone, you will stay in the house and not let anyone in." Jane calls mom and asks her if she's having fun, and mom says "not really."

I have to thank both the mayor and Ta-Nahisi Coates for making such a fuss that I went ahead and read the article. It wasn't anything all that spectacular, but it was certainly worth reading. (Notably, TNC didn't like it at all, but still linked to it, which strikes me as the great defining advantage of the blogosphere over traditional media.) <br /><br />I'm curious about why Nutter was apparently so upset about the article. My best guess is that he'd rather not see this kind of discussion start up in public, as it would be bad for his political future. And so he made a strategic decision to try to hammer it down, in hopes that he can avoid having the dam break, and having lots and lots of white voters and residents start talking openly among themselves about how they really feel about race relations in their city. <br /><br />But I coud certainly be missing something. Is there some offensive subtext I'm missing here, because I just don't get it. <br /><br /><br /><br />NOTAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-18498978315597283612013-03-18T07:44:53.685-07:002013-03-18T07:44:53.685-07:00I think thats why TPTB love Facebook.

Thus the groupthink and crimestop operate much as they do IRL.</em><br /><br />One of the most amazing (and least remarked-upon) shifts in the last decade has been people going from paranoia about revealing themselves online, to near-total unconcern about it. Ten years ago, many people were afraid to send email to anyone except close friends, for fear that they'd end up on mailing lists. The movie <em>The Net</em> had people convinced that, if you shared anything about yourself online (and maybe even if you didn't), nefarious entities could track what you had for breakfast. Anonymous posting servers and remailers were somewhat commonly used by the savvy, even if they never said anything dangerous -- just to keep their personal stuff personal.<br /><br />Now, those same people think nothing of posting pictures of their kids playing in the backyard, which can be studied for hiding places via Google Maps. It has to be a great time to be a burglar: once you know who lives in a house, just watch where they tweet from to see when they won't be home for a while. <br /><br />And yes, it's had a stifling effect. Ten years ago, I posted everything I wrote under my own name, but it was in places like Usenet where no one knew me personally. Now, with services like Facebook making it so my real-life friends are likely to read my stuff, I've switched to a pseudonym just as everyone else has become more public. If I were to post under my own name the kind of stuff I write here, I'd spend more time explaining and disclaiming than I would writing anything original, and many of them would never get it anyway. Unless you can make being a dissident a full-time job, that's just not worth it.Cail Corishevhttp://cailcorishev.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-33559127923367106482013-03-18T07:34:48.567-07:002013-03-18T07:34:48.567-07:00Does this idiot ever read the news?Whites are bein...<i>Does this idiot ever read the news?Whites are being attacked by blacks all over the country.</i><br /><br />If he just reads mainstream newspapers or websites, he probably doesn't know anything about whites being attacked by blacks all over the country.

If it were cleaned up it could be the prettiest city on the East Coast, nicer than New York or Boston IMHO. Because of th universities and the medical infrastructure, it still has a fairly lively cultural and intellectual scene. Excellent restaurants that are much more affordable than NYC or DC. There is a cool bar scene, and people are friendlier and more approachable than in NYC, DC or Boston. It's a great sports town. It has (had?) a great working class white ethnic population that was rooted in tradition and place, proud of itself but less xenophobic than white working class in Boston or New York.
