Love / Polish girlfriends family, they want me to become Catholic. [20]

First your not dating her parents but her. If she is okey with it then you have a great girlfriend that accepts you for who you are. I would never ever convert for anybody if I didn't really believe in the religion Im converting to. I guess for you to feel better then take some time, see what the religion is all about and see if it agrees with you. If you are religious what's more important pleasing your girlfriends parents or GOD. Its great that you don't want to be a cause of tension between her and her parents but its her parents being unreasonable. Im Chatholic by the way and I wouldnt want you to convert if you don't believe.

Just thought of something though. Talk to them or have your girlfriend talk to them and see why its important to them. I say this because maybe they think your planning on taking more then one wife or that your not going to treat her as an equal. If that was my daughter I wouldn't put up with that **** either. I guess to me its not that your muslim but how extreme you are in your faith. Talk to them because if that's what they think and its not your intention then you can come to an agreement.

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]

For those who are complaining poles are taking your jobs. Get a fuc*en education. It is you who are doing your country a dis-service. With global competition these days a knowledge economy is a must to survive. So if you love your country do something to improve it instead of blaming Poles.

I know what your saying. I know a couple cool Russians. But I learned not to discuss those issues. One thing you must admit they are patriotic(not always a good thing I hope you understand what I mean)

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]

whoever hates poles can go **** themselves and what are you doing on a Polish forum. Also if you say you hate Poles please state the reason why so we can all see how stupid you are. Oh yeah almost forgot feel free to state your ethnicity and nationality.

Im sorry that's just so fu*ken funny. I can't stop laughing because its so totally possible.

Im enjoying that British humour

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

Isthatu I totally agree with your position on Stalin. As for Constantine no one said people pray to him. But you can't deny their is a sizeable number that see him as the best leader Russia had. How short is the Russian memory. If that statement is true I feel sorry for the Russian people. To me its like the Germans saying hitler is the best leader they ever had. its illogical. Southern please explain why Russia closes such institutions.

I don't even know how we got on this subject my main concernwas SU collapse had a lot to do with military spending and the economy was not developed like in the west to handle it.

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

Humour I get it, everybody likes humour. Its great that britons can laugh and move on. But like you said sometimes a little common sense is required. Whatever though its not a big deal as long as theirs no holocust jokes on a Polish forum. Exception would be if its a terribly funny joke and I doubt one exists. But you can try.

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

Better way I guess for me to state it their was lack of competition inside the satallite countries but their was competition between the satallites of USSR to be favored by the kremlin because the kremlin chooses the distribution of work and food and other resources. However back to my original point SU collapsed because they only invested all their resources on the military and with their weak economy and not taking other industries into account led to their downfall.

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

We have black humor. But their are limits and some Taboo. Out of respect for the victims or those still suffering. What's more important you having a good laugh or having a person not having to suffer from your joke. I guess in other parts of the world we don't have a shortage of jokes where we need to laugh about every single subject. If its k in Britain that's fine however your on a Polish forum so be a little more sensitive to other cultures.

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

Lesser that's a good point no reason to bribe because lack of competition. But lack of competition doesn't mean no competition. You had several mining, automobile, shipbuilding, and energy company's. Some where favored more then others depending on the desires of the kremlin. This is where the bribes took place. So a company would offer a bribe so it would be favored. but it doesn't matter because I think we both agree SU collapsed because of economy and ideallogy and several smaller factors.

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

Bubba I can laugh when something is actually funny. If you tell me a stupid unfunny joke and I don't laugh. does that mean I have no sense of humour. No it just means the joke is stupid or the person telling the joke is stupid and in this case both. Lol see I have a sense of humour

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

im sorry Im retarted once in a while.

but I agree some things are just not funny and shouldn't be joked about

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

celinksi read all the posts so you can see I was being sarcastic. the posts between me and bubbawoo. unless your joking

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

The corruption does ring true and makes sense. But it also caused products of inferior quality and higher price. If I offered an offical 10000 dollars to buy from me. He would by my product even that it could be of worse quality and higher price because Im giving him money.

Im also not an expert on the cuban system, but I imagine it can't be that much different. Im assuming the fundementals are the same. That comment about Russia being federalists I agree that was also a contributing factor to the collapse. However I believe SU collpse had mostly to do with economy but also because of ideology and several other factors such different cultures.

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

those weren't that good. obviously you are no comedian so stop with the humour and leave it to somebody that's actually funny

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

Yeah Russia never invaded.
Russia is a shinning example to the world.
Its the perfect global citizen.
Oh yeah almost forgot the world is flat.

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

I have a sense of humor. But if your so clever tell me a good joke about the holocost or the london bombings. maybe i can have a good laugh.

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

Bubbawoo shut up if you were a people that have been exploited throughout history and not the people that did the exploiting you would understand. the mentality of agressors is to blame the victim. its kind of sad

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

Lesser explain how corruption helped SU survive longer, seems like a interesting idea please explain. First comment about economy being self destructing, its true but because of the military spending. look at Cuba same exact system as SU. They did not spend nearly the percentage of their gdp as SU and their economy is going strong. not as good as market economies but good enough to survive.

Last things when I said military spending was the cause of collapse. I should have stated it better. Its was the largest contributing factor but not the only one.

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

Your argument is it couldn't be the military spending because US didn't go bankrupt. What logic is that. They were do differentg economic systems. One was able to handle the strain of military spending other could not. US economy is based on free market where their is a competition for better quality and lower price. In additon because of this competition it was less likely for corruption to breed as easily as it did during communism. Don't you find it odd that western economies are more developed then eastern economies. Also like to add that the western economies invested both in the public sector as much as private sector and this made their economies stronger to handle the strain. Soviet economy was built for war, and when the government could afford to pay for military projects the enitre economy collapsed

Russia dumb as a HOE
Dont know any good contributions coming from Russia

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

LMAO That's a good point Bratwurst. Will see how friendly you will be lukasz when your turkish and pakistani friends join you next door. Not that Im racist but who wants to go outside their Polish home and listen to arabic. See women in burqas, and god forbid put up with these stupid honor killings. Wish for the best for the for the islamic world so i don't think im racist but wouldnt want to see a large population in Poland. Small population would be k

History / Jews...and their Polish experience [520]

southern explain insider traitor?

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

Bratwurst: I am beginning to agree with you here's my revised list. Russia US UK Poland Canada France I think Lukasz came up with it before. Revised it after reading up on the internet and this forum.

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

Lukasz that list that you made was for most powerful or for biggest contribution?

Like to point out Poles are some of the best strategist but they never have the technology or numbers to match for them to be powerful. On the otherhand US crappy strategists throughout history but what saves them is either their numbers or technology or sometimes both

Can we at least agree that France contributed the least.

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

Bratwurst I agree US was more powerful then Britain during WW2 but the question is who contributed more. If talking about the most powerful of the allies. It would go like this US RUSSIA UK FRANCE POLAND

However talking about contribution I think RUSSIA UK US POLAND FRANCE . the most powerful countries didn't always make the greatest contribution.

Lesser the Soviet economy went bankrupt because they spent all their money on the military trying to keep up with America and Nato. So It had everything to do with Europe. In addition the Pope and the solidarity movement was another force thatcracked communism because the soviet could not afford a war. All these issues are related and have all to do with Europe and especially America. For whoever said that Warsaw pact was answer to Nato. Even though the warsaw pact wasn't formed till after Nato was established. Obviously with Russia controling all of eastern europe it was obvious where the countries under the Russian sphere stood. So warsaw pact was established though not formally known as the warsaw pact the first day after ww2 that Russia took control of eastern europe. NATO was established because Russia had its claws and controlled eastern europe

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

First Southern the comment that when Germany attacked Russia their was only one front. That's partially true. Britain was not yet defeated, so Germany still needed to concentrate some forces in the west in case Britain counterattacked. So Hitler was not able to concentrate all his forces on Russia. Also to answer bratwurst UK had a strong navy, so it would not be so easy to put a blockade on the UK and somewhat powerful airforce.
