  That's kind of strange though, I walked right through Singapore customs
& Immigrations with shoulder length hair on my return last year. Yes, I'm
a Singaporean and no I'm not female.

You know, I think the human race might be better off if social memory
in each individual was wiped to 0 every 25 years.  Then, we wouldn't
need to forever rewrite history, nor justify senseless slaughter as
now in the "Jugoslvia" region by reference to wrongs dating several
hundreds of years back, nor forever justifying territorial claims by
referring to ancient documents etc. We would just look at each other
as individuals, not as "missionaries" for dead causes, not as members
of races or "ethnic cultures", but as human beings, each of us the
inheritors of the whole of human culture.

  Are you serious here or did I miss some joke?
Ask an american person what he/she thinks of the
cost of living in e.g France, and ask him/her if
she could afford that for a year with US wages!
I expect that Poland joins the west part of Europe
in a near future -in terms of standard of life, whereas
I'm quite sure that US are not on the right tracks to
escape their half poverty.

Drogi Mariuszu!  
  Pare miesiecy temu przez soc.culture.polish przetoczyla sie dyskusja na temat
uzywania wulgaryzmow w literaturze. Teza, ku ktorej ja sie sklanialem  bylo to 
aby niecenzuralne slowa byly srodkiem, a nie celem.  To samo mozna odniesc do 
rocka, zwlaszcza ze jest to rodzaj muzyki stworzony przez sfrustrowana 
mlodziez i wyrazajacy jej bunt, a nic tak nie podkresla tych uczuc
jak jedno czy dwa dosadne wyrazenia. W  wystukanej przeze mnie na siec
piosence Kazika wlasnie wystepuja dwa czy trzy tego typu slowa, wiec jest to
akurat tyle, aby nie bylo za duzo, jak pare ziarenek pieprzu w dobrej zupie. 
  Zreszta nie tylko w rocku trafiaja sie wulgaryzmy. Nafaszerowane sa nimi
piosenki Georgesa Brassensa, Jacquesa Brella, songi Bertolda Brechta czy tez
naszego Jacka Kaczmarskiego. Czy to jest ta ambitniejsza muzyka, o ktorej
wspomniales?

I think it is fair to say that the Anglo-Saxons have done much, much
better than the Poles over the years. By not being on the continent
they avoided many of the misfortunes that plagued other countries in
Europe (eg., Poland), such as frequent wars, etc. They were able to
concentrate on building the British Empire and accumulating wealth.
And haven't you noticed that the US is now the only true superpower,
with living standards far higher than those in Poland?

Besides, the Anglo-Saxons may freely say things to the effect that
Poland is a backward country of religious and racial bigots, and the
"slusznie myslacy" Poles will cheer to this, or at least ridicule
those who express dismay at such generlisations (go go hp!). Moreover,
as a "slusznie myslacy", I consider your offensive comments about the

The same is happening in Australia. A few months ago, when I wasn't
"slusznie myslacy", I dared to protest at the use of the term "Polish
Death Camps" in TV news. I was told off. I then requested a written
reply. Here is a quote from what I received:

| 						14 February, 1992
|
| ...
|
| The item you refer to emanated from our London bureau. The phrase
| "Polish Death Camps" was not used as such in either the reader's
| introduction or in the story itself. The reader's introduction said
| "New evidence has thrown doubt on the identity of Ivan the Terrible...
| the notorious guard at Poland's Treblinka Death Camp",and the reporter
| referred once to the infamous guard at the Treblinka death camp". The
| Polish references in these phrases are clearly geographical, and
| should be interpreted as such.
| 
| ...
| 
| Peter Munckton
| National Editor TV News
| Australian Broadcasting Corporation

I was not satisfied with this reply, but had no resources to pursue the
matter further. My attempts to find out if the Polish community here
would be interested in this matter were unsuccessful; however, a while
later, after it was too late to do anything, I was informed that
someone from the Polish community had dealt with such matters before.

Next, the reply does not address the commentary that immediately
*followed* the story, where the term "Polish Death Camp" *was* used.
By the time the reply arrived, the tapes of the actual programme which
the broadcaster is required to keep by law for 12 weeks had just been
erased, and so it was not possible to check what wa said during this
commentary.

Further, I was publicly ridiculed for making my protest to the ABC by
some "slusznie myslacy" liberal Poles.  Now I am indifferent to slurs,
including Polack jokes, that anybody may care to level at Poles/Poland,
and I will even ask for more if they are any good. I learned my lesson.
