31. Adults
Konrad ,   Warsaw   (12.08.09)
Even if the respondents are exclusively adults (what does it mean?) claiming that 72% of adult population of Poland believes that “Jews try to take advantage of having been victims during the Nazi era” is SHEER BS. You first formulate a question (mind you, it's your formulation!) and then ask it, kind of compelling, pressurizing the respondents to answer it. OK, they can give this or that answer. But still the problem hidden in the question wasn't their problem. They will answer it, and considering that this particular question is a heavily loaded one, most probably as expected, and then go about their business, as usual. Loaded questions lead to spurious evidence. In other words: BS. Answers for them don't equal behavior.

it's the Univ in your town that did this poll . don't turn around the pot , 72 % answered affirmatively . There are people who say something that is'nt how they think , yes , and that's why there is always an error margin .
33. manipulation
thomas ,   Poland   (12.09.09)
“Jews try to take advantage of having been victims during the Nazi era”. The highest degree of affirmation was in Poland - 72%" does not mean - 72% ppl of Poland hate Jews. World Jewish Restitution Organization want from us 65 mld $ so it's normal that percentage is high. once again antipolish provocation.
34. "Fear" is Anti-Polish propaganda
Jacob ,   New York City USA   (12.10.09)
to Mongo and other critics of Poland. The book "Fear" by Jan Gross is filled with many Anti-Polish half truths and inconsistencies. Jan Gross has literally walked away from Poles who pointed out to him the inconsistencies and half truths in his book. Gross is a liar, like when he claimed that "1600 Jews" were killed by Poles when the bodies exhumed showed a tiny fraction of that. When Gross was asked why he exaggerated, he smirked and said "I just thought I would round the number off" Also why do anti-Polish critics DISMISS the fact that after WWII, MOSCOW and NOT the Poles CONTROLLED ALL of Poland with an IRON FIST? There is a lot of evidence showing how the Soviets provoked anti-semitism themselves to keep Poles and Jews divided so that Poland was easier to control.
35. Allegation finally backfired, huh?
Greg ,   PL   (01.05.10)
"t "Polish death camps" , it's in the GEOGRAPHICAL meaning of this" BS, Charles. Toyota made in Texas factory will never be called Texan car or American car. It will always be Japanese car. I explained this to you 2 years ago with more detailed comment. As to others: even if 72 per cent of Polish society deeply dislike the Jews, then one question should be asked: why is this so? Did you really believe that spitting on Poland and the Poles, calling them worse than the Nazis, labeling them with all the worst names, blaming them for holokaust - would never backfire onto you? What goes around, COMES around, dear Talkbackers.
