American congress get maid

[KrooK]

That i....s want make resolution to demand from Poland compensation for....
property that was stolen minorities by nazis and polish communists.

To sum up;
1) compensations for Germans (polish communists send some of them to reich and polish resistance killed some of their poor SS soldiers)
2) compensation for Jewish property stolen by Germans (ahh right - Germans started was because Poles ordered them to start)
3) compensation for Ukrainians (their were ordered to leave eastern borders of Poland and settled on western borders - for supporting criminals from UPA)

Uh.... what?

[Whacker]

Yes.

[Geoffrey S]

Is this what you're referring to?

[KrooK]

Yes, however article mention only Jewish property, without speaking about other.


BTW mistake into title- get mad

BTW mistake into title- get mad

Yes. Let's all get mad.

[Don Corleone]

I think he means the American Congress is getting mad. And Krook, perhaps you don't realize this, but your government is actually sitting in the catbird seat with Washington right now. Trust me, the Czech Republic aren't the only ones who could be getting a missile defense shield installed.

[Rhyfelwyr]

Poland is the best country in the world.

See KrooK, I know my history.

Although from the title I have to admit I thought that the Congress had hired some extra kitchen staff, you can edit the title you know...

[drone]

Congress has a lower approval rating than Bush. So don't take them too seriously, if you ignore them they go away (see Rove, Karl).

[Adrian II]

I think he means the American Congress is getting mad.

No, I think he means that we should all get mad. And why not?

I tell you, I'm hopping mad.

[Tribesman]

I tell you, I'm hopping mad.

yes

it is the only country in the European Union without such laws.

Poland is the only country in Central and Eastern Europe that has not passed any legislation dealing with private property lost during and after World War II.

its quite maddening

[Adrian II]

its quite maddening

They've been so busy legislating against homosexuality and abortion that this issue was somehow overlooked.

I'm enraged.

[CrossLOPER]

...of course?

Hey, there's a party in here and I'm being laid! Erm...I mean late.

Okay, that wasn't at all the funny introduction to my post that I intended it to be, but I couldn't quite nal the pun.

Anyway...WWII restitutions are not as straightforward as they seem. It is a sensitive and complicated issue, where two wrongs don't make a right. Also, let's not be naive and assume that every New York who's posing restitution claims does so from the good of his heart and his innate sense of historical justice.
If every claim by an expelled German, an heir to murdered Jews, or a relocated Ukrainian is honoured, then there won't be any Poland left. On the other hand, if Poland would be compensated for all damages sustained by German or Soviet aggression, no Pole would ever have to work again. Restitutions and compensations are a minefield, and should preferably be free of ancient resentments, anti-Semitism, historical insensitivities and, indeed, also the claim culture of the contemporary American judicial system.

And drink Minute Mad!

[Tribesman]

Slight problem there though Louis , the Swiss handed over holocaust victims money to Poland , Poland has not passed that money on , it kept it .
Now I do understand its quite complicated , but if they can pass laws which mean that Poles can claim for assets that their families lost when Poland lost its eastern areas why can they not do the same for families of Polish Jews ?

[PanzerJaeger]

This is patently absurd. We're in the middle of an economic crisis and the swine can't even clean up after themselves?

No wonder their approval numbers are in the toilet... a toilet, I might add, even their new help can't scrub.

According to the Polish spokesman, the problem seems to be that most of the Jews who would be entitled are sort of dead. Go figure.

Typical Jews, eh? They slaughtered each other in the Holocaust so that after the war the few survivors would have it maid.

It's funny how governments wait 60 years before they start collecting damage claims. Of course few claimants would be around and those who are are probably to senile to remember what to claim for anyway...

[Tribesman]

It would be if the Swiss hadn't handed over the first batch of money to Poland to distribute to its legal owners 48 years ago .

[Sigurd]

Ouch! ... 48 years with interests. No wonder they will go bankrupt. Hey, here is an idea. I live in a small town in Norway, I bet we could lend them some money.

Why does America need to give compensation to people we did not take things from?

Besides, as already stated, when Poland pays the money it was given by Switzerland, you might be heard by a couple Representatives in the House.

[CountArach]

KrooK is far right.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

To Krook's credit, casting aspersions as to the quality of thought in our Congress is one of our longest-standing traditions -- he's merely joining in on the fun. Since his country elected their kings for a while, I'm sure there is a good Polish tradition about ridiculing pols.

I must disagree with the typo'd title however. Having worked there, I can confirm that the halls of Congress are quite clean. However, the number of comb-overs you'll see from the gallery as you look down on either the House or Senate floor suggests that a BARBER would be a real addition.

Why is any of this America's responsibility? I don't get it.

Sheesh, haven't you been keeping up on current events? America is the world's new police force.
