Warsaw to erect statue to Reagan
Late US President Ronald Reagan
Reagan was a staunch anti-communist campaigner
Polish admirers of Ronald Reagan say they will erect a statue of the late US
president in Warsaw to thank him for helping to end communist rule.

They say the 3.5-metre (10.5ft) stone and bronze statue will stand opposite
the US embassy in the Polish capital.

"The statue is a way for his legacy to live on," said Janusz Dorosiewicz, a
businessman behind the private project.

In 1989, Poland became the first nation in Eastern Europe to defeat communism.
Reagan died in 2004 at the age of 93.

"This is an entirely private initiative undertaken by Poles in Poland, the
United States and Canada," Mr Dorosiewicz said.

"Reagan was the person who defeated the communists and opened the way for
freedom in Poland," he said.

The organisers estimate that the statue will cost about 140,000 euros (£94,000).

It will be unveiled on 4 July 2007 - US Independence Day.

        that explain everything;????????????

        During Reagan's reign the United States experienced the beginning of the end of
        what could have been a great nation. Under Reagan, elements within the
        government engaged in massive criminal activity that resulted in the deaths of
        hundreds of thousands of people and the entrenchment of a vicious and evil
        criminal organization that is now firmly in power of not only the United States
        but much of the world.

        "The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis. There will be Aramco [the
        consortium of oil companies that controlled Saudi oil], pipelines, an emir, no
        parliament and lots of Sharia law. We can live with that," said another U.S.
        diplomat in 1997.
        The reference to oil and pipelines explains everything. Since the collapse of
        the USSR at the end of 1991, U.S. oil companies and their friends in the State
        Department have been salivating at the prospect of gaining access to the huge
        oil and natural gas reserves in the former Soviet republics bordering the
        Caspian Sea and in Central Asia. These have been estimated as worth $4
        trillion. The American Petroleum Institute calls the Caspian region "the area
        of greatest resource potential outside of the Middle East." And while he was
        still CEO of Halliburton, the world's biggest oil services company, Vice
        President Dick Cheney told other industry executives, "I can't think of a time
        when we've had a region emerge as suddenly to become as strategically
        significant as the Caspian." The struggle to control these stupendous resources
        has given rise to what Rashid has dubbed the "new Great Game," pitting shifting
        alliances of governments and oil and gas consortia against one another.

            They're both wrong.

                - You know you've shit. There's shit on the toilet paper, but no shit in the
                bowl.
                - This shit is so big that you know it won't go down the toilet unless you
                break it into smaller chunks. A coat hanger works well. This kind of shit
                usually happens at someone else's house.

                - The kind of shit where you eat really spicy food and your asshole feels like
                the inside of a cigarette lighter.

                - When you sit down, and fart for so long and hard that you no longer need to
                take a shit.

                - The type of shit that leaves you feeling like you just hoped onto a bicycle
                without a seat. Sensation usually lasts hours.

                to be or not to be this is a big shit

                    Szahtut is the best person to discuss shit.
                    He has a lot of shit on his hands because his religion prevents him from using
                    the toilet paper

                      On his handS, plural? I think you will find that most people can wipe their
                      butts with one hand. Also none of the major religions prevent the faithful from
                      washing their hand/s afterwards.

                      - You sit there all cramped up and fart a few times, but no shit.

                      - You shit so much and wipe your ass so furiously you run out of toilet paper
                      and you say OH SHIT.

                      that is shit

      “I CALL UPON EVERY FREE SOUL AMONG ARABS TO USE THE DANISH FLAG AS A SUBSTITUTE
      FOR TOILET PAPER”

      “Leader of Arab-European group calls on Arabs to use Danish flag as substitute
      for toilet paper” (IRNA, Iranian national news agency, February 4, 2006)

      The leader of the Belgium-based Arab- European League (AEL), Dyab Abou Jahjah,
      has condemned the double standards of the West regarding freedom of speech as
      far as Muslims are concerned… “Muslims and others in Europe cannot say
      everything they often want to say and they risk being arrested and prosecuted if
      they do.

      “Muslims and other religious people cannot express their disgust from
      homosexuality and clearly state that they believe it’s a sickness and a
      deviation without being persecuted for being homophobic.

      “People in Europe are not allowed to make a free historical examination of the
      Second World War and the holocaust and freely express an opinion on it that is
      different from the dominating dogmatic line…

      “Yes Arabs and Muslims are uptight when you touch their religious and national
      symbols, but Europe had made of political correctness and the cult of the
      holocaust and Jew worshiping its alternative religion,” he went on to say.

      Abou Jahjah concluded by saying, “I am for the absolute freedom of speech
      everywhere, and that’s why I call upon every free soul among Arabs to use the
      Danish flag as a substitute for toilet paper.”…

          I don't know who is right.
          When I heard about it for the first time (it was about 3 years ago) I was
          shocked and this information was provided by a muslim.

            nice! the debate ended in a sanitary workshop!
            although the arabic way is at least the cleanest. probably it's also a climatic
            matter. I remember the time in cuba struggeling with paper. I can imagine the
            time during the shortage in poland. probably at that time the babcias where
            wiser and not so spoiled as the yought today. coming back to reagan, the people
            has the right to do everything and putting the symbols they want. but reagan
            definetly wasn't that saint! They are not some statements and crumbs which
            bring down a regime, but the people that are living fighting and struggeling in
            it.
