I really am! ... or at least trying not to make them any worse (and usually failing miserably) You perceive Poland by a prist of proverbial 'black glasses'- that's ok -it's Your choice, but I recon that They(to name but a few,many Europeans)see our country wrongly enough to give them another reason to think They're right.. We haven't exactly named any problems that nearly all countries in the world don't have. And I don't think most people here jump to conclusions regarding countries they have never visited. It's not a coincidence that they place ignorance so high on their list of problems. I've only expressed my opinion- and please, bear also in mind, that I truly respect Yours, at any rate the forum is destined for speaking Your mind, isn't it. (Ps. You can trust me WS) I wish You 2 good, sunny, fruitful day and at least a ray of hope concerning our BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY And respect right back at you. Yes, Poland is beautiful in many aspects and I hope it stays this way.

 

because Your name is Tomek isn't it Manunkind?

There are some Tomki on the forum- that's why I was mislead.
Thanks for this information. Now, I'll surely remember Your name .

High taxes

Thieving, lying Government

Nothing I'd disagree with on that list. Think I'll just pack my bags and go back to Japan.

WHAT ?

We elected a very popular president (a humble man, like 99% of Brazilians, who rose from the poor and oppressed) and the guy totally screwed up the country. Corruption, poverty, unemployment and abandon are currently ruling our country. Notwithstanding, our people is still happy, just waiting for the next carnival, FIFA World Cup, or, eventually, a Rush gig...

More Abu Ghraib Photos Ordered Released

Associated Press
Friday, September 30, 2005; A20



NEW YORK, Sept. 29 -- A federal judge ordered the release Thursday of dozens more pictures of prisoners being abused at Abu Ghraib, rejecting government arguments that the images would provoke terrorists and incite violence against U.S. troops in Iraq.

U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said that terrorists "do not need pretexts for their barbarism" and that suppressing the pictures would amount to submitting to blackmail.

"Our nation does not surrender to blackmail, and fear of blackmail is not a legally sufficient argument to prevent us from performing a statutory command. Indeed, the freedoms that we champion are as important to our success in Iraq and Afghanistan as the guns and missiles with which our troops are armed," he said.

Hellerstein ordered the release of 74 pictures and three videotapes from the Abu Ghraib prison, potentially opening the military up to more embarrassment from a scandal that stirred outrage around the world last year when photos of abuse became public.

The photographs covered by Thursday's ruling were taken by a soldier. A military policeman who saw them turned them over to the Army. Some may be duplicates of photos already seen by the public.

An appeal of Hellerstein's ruling is expected.

Gen. John P. Abizaid, commander of U.S. Central Command, said that releasing the photos would hinder his work against terrorism.

The American Civil Liberties Union sought release of the photographs and videotapes as part of an October 2003 lawsuit demanding information on the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody.

I certainly don't condone what went on at Abu Ghraib. But with this, we may as well release to the public our military plans of operations to help the enemy too! The ACLU once again shows who's side they're on in this war.
