News / Nobility / Aristocracy in Poland ? [92]

and 5,000 trolls in norwegian woods

Where did you get such data? I WANT TO KNOW!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there's still a kind of class called aristocracy or nobility in Poland, or sthg like that ?

I'm asking the question because I'm in Warsaw right now, I belong to French aristocracy and I'd like to meet nobles over here.

Cheers.
French Noble.

Noblesse Oblige

Hey there im a descendent of a Polish noble family! You want some more information you can PM me and ill maybe ask my grandma to contact you

Love / POLISH GUY AND BLACK GIRL! [52]

Well I can "quote" a black guy living in Poland who said this in a video

"When im there and there is a situation that I do something bad people say it's ok, no harm done and I am not the guilty one. There is also happening that when im not doing anything I get accused for something, so a Pole isn't equal to another Pole that's very important to remember"

Genealogy / What region of poland is my family from? [27]

I guess He is from Eastern parts of the old republic. Mainly Belarussia, Lithuania or Ukraine. at thoose times people called all that Russia if you weren't specific (In western lands maybe that's why he said it idk) School him you mean private teacher or a very good School? Cause if it was a Good school and it's records have somehow survived and are placed on the internet or not that's a good start I say but a VERY hard one

Also She probebly came from Tatry area since you said it was near the border, then guess either near Todays Polish slovak border or even maybe Czech Rep border with Poland. It's quite hard to find them :S GL

News / Chairman of TVP flies the racist flag for Poland [51]

No, you are Poland's and Roman Catholic Church's best friend. The same way Uncle Stalin was our best friend: an absolute pinnacle of honesty and paragon of virtue.

I like that one!

Life / How to behave in Poland? General etiquette questions. [30]

probably more so then any other nation i know people from

How many nations do you know? :)

Just do as other have told you above, and remember when on a bus or public transport they will look down upon you if an old person stands next to you while you sit.

I had "troubbles" one time, looked like I was an outcast or something you don't wanna experience that!

History / Poland and Ukraine [240]

You should watch "Pogranicze w Ogniu"
It's an excellent movie about intelligence of Germany, Poland, France & a little bit of UK in 1917-1939 it's mostly about Poznan (Posen) two friends 1 Polish other half Polish& half German goes two totally different ways. The Polish guy goes to Dwojka while the Gerry-Pole goes to the Abwehry or how ever it's spelled.

News / Lech Wałęsa threatens to leave Poland [30]

Lech might have cooperated with the secret police of Poland, although he almost certainly didn't. However 1Jola joined the armed forces of a foreign power and stood ready to fight against Poland if ordered to do so. When it comes to betraying Poland, he's the expert.

PRL in 1945-1989 was never Poland, it just took the name of it. THerefor acusing Poles for Vistula action or other international dealings PRL did is nonsense to me and many Poles today.

News / Non-Polish members - what knowledge does your country have about Poland? [35]

it's not that I want to bash Germans but maybe I am oversensitive on that issue but I am not sure Germans have learned enough from their history
a couple things make me believe so

Well that's a different version of what I said :)

and I don't find anything totalitarian in the lector thing - I rather find dubbing chauvinistic (well it actually is an industry in itself - once started and people got used to it it's there to float)

You know a lector mostly say it in a totally different way then what the real persons say, it is widely known that lectors didn't say 100% truth of what really happened. Good examples are Katyn movies etc, but really I can't blame the lector alone it's mostly the propaganda thing.

News / Non-Polish members - what knowledge does your country have about Poland? [35]

no lector is not used in Germany - they have films dubbed

Was/is used in the eastern part of the carpet and in Nazi Germany

Since I am an person wich is interessted in History I just have to tell you that it is a difference between Nazi Germany and Germany (Germans at thoose times and todays Germans maybe not very big, well todays Germans say thoose Germans were tricked by the brilliant & cruel politician wich really was an Austrian and not German so he is counted out of German history books, they all spoke German and were Germans but innicent because of an evil Austrian wich took the spotlight)

Life / What should Poland and Poles do, after first day of nuclear war? [133]

Realy, what should Poles and official Poland do, after first day of eventual nuclear conflict between world powers?

Prepare and mass army with stones/sticks
It will have the chance to conquer back all lost land from 1939
AND maybe even establish a slavic country!
Or just protect it's borders wich it has because everyone will be warmongering(Old habit?)

P.s. I'm talking about Italy

I have been to Italy (A little tourist city)
Allmost nobody could speak English, and when I was asking some boys (15-17) they didn't understand a word! I was truely shocked! Ive also seen dubbing of Movies!

Food / Best donuts in Warsaw? [22]

First of all, if you want good tasting bread you don't go to a supermarket, but a BAKERY! (Most adviceable to do it in early in the morning when it is fresh.

Yeah for "American" donuts try Mcdonalds, but you should try the małe pączki near the post office on the Praga part of Warsaw. It's a little bit down towards the stadium from Rondo Wiatraczna

They are delicsious! All my friends eat them in a hurry when bring em from Poland :D

History / MONSTERS AND DRAGONS OF POLAND...are there any...? [42]

Let's not forget Krasnoludki, the mischievous but charming Polish elves.

they're not elves, they're somewhere between dwarfs, gnomes and maybe smerfs....
definitely not elves

They are excactly like Norwegian Nisser!
In English language they call em Santas little helpers!
Tho in the Norwegian tales "Nisser" were small little creatures wich had red clothing and lived in stables. They allways took good care of the animals at the farm. They loved to play tricks on humans and if you angered them they did some bad things at the farm, but giving them porege every christmas made them in a happy mood.

Is there anything specific about the Krasnoludek like "Nisser"?

Love / I'm pregnant by my Polish boyfriend but he wants me to abort it! [132]

Abortion is not a murder, that's it !!

Aha, so it's just a removal of an item wich will never have any chances of growing up to a human beeing? Well if you put it that way...

For me as a catholic it holds with: It has a soul

This is a BIG issue wich everyone ignores in Norway

News / Dealing with constant insults against Polish [323]

berni23:
No, that is Russian propaganda.
Oh OK, they (my friends) must have lied to me then.

Well, they didn't lie. They ment more that it still was a regular army fighting on (Even if it wasn't that big) mainly I think "Hubal" was fighting the Soviets. There was some few cavalry charges during september campaign but never on tanks. (There was inccidents were German crew thought it was a charge but it was really a retreat while beeing encircled).

Like the belts "Got mit uns" yeah they used em

News / Non-Polish members - what knowledge does your country have about Poland? [35]

Well in Norwegian School books it's only about invasion 1939.
Maybe sometimes battle of Narvik.
But in my class when somebody is from/has connections another country he/she makes a presentation for the whole class. I had about Poland :)

And the class loved it, mostly because they didn't have to write down anything but some guys asked me about some things. I also had my own presentation of 1936-1940, took on myself an Polish uniform and helmet (Communistic times but they didn't notice ofcourse xD )

They loved my helmet, playing with and taking pictures and all. First time they touched a real military helmet.
