History / The movie Defiance is a big lie (heroes that saved Poland suppored communism) [102]


I have to interject. This is misinformation. Yes, it's true, there are people in Hollywood who are jewish who act in films, direct and produce movies...but you have to keep in mind, there are people of all different ethnicities in Hollywood and elsewhere making movies. It's not just jews, believe me. You are trying to give everyone the impression that jews are the only ones in North America producing movies and that is a blatant lie. They do not control the minds. I don't know what year that book was published, but it's inaccurate.

Think of all the independent movie companies and movie makers. It's not just the big studios anymore.
I'll give you an example. A local college football player was recruited by the Seattle Seahawks and he made millions of dollars (cannot remember the exact dollar amount). He accidentally injured his leg playing football, the first game with the Seahawks, I think, and he could no longer play afterwards but he still had the millions of dollars from the Seahawks. So, what did he do? He went to Hollywood and started his own production company. He produced at least one movie, and starred in it too. However, he wasn't that popular and the movie (which I can't even remember the name of) he starred in and made didn't do too well at the box office so he didn't make any more movies. He wasn't jewish, just someone with a few million dollars to invest, no NFL career because of an injury, and plenty of time to devote. My point being, he isn't jewish. Anyone with the drive and the money can own a production company.

I've read some reviews for Defiance and it isn't critically acclaimed because of the inaccuracies.

Isn't it great when you meet someone like that? I think it's rare and should be cherished. I have met very few people in my lifetime that leave me with that wonderful feeling of true admiration for how they are. When you do meet somebody like that, it leaves a profound impression on your soul.

HNY to you too, Knight. I have no idea what bisons taste like, I've never tried it or deers either, for that matter.

News / What did Poland get out of the wars and struggles for others? [1108]

Prince, it just shows how the National Socialists were...ruthless exploiters who wanted to cause wars on the continent for their own shameless profiteering. After doing some research on how they were financed, and by whom, it's no surprise. There was no real alliance with anyone. National Socialists would have signed some papers, then would have made Polish soldiers fight for Germany and put their lives on the line. I am sure that's what they would have done. Used Poles to fight the German wars which might have been why the proposal was made in the first place.

I like raccoons because they are so clever and they can figure stuff out. They can get into the bison mentality with ease. Admirable.

I LOVE raccoons...and bisons, lol.

When I was in Florida I saw no bears, no bison, not even an alligator. I did see tiny lizards scurrying all over the sidewalk at the apartments I lived in. I saw an alligator when I was in New Orleans and took a boat tour of a bayou.

At one time, did people use bison as a food source in Europe like they did in North America?
Plk123 that's a cute pic of a border collie, is he your pet? Border collies are cool. It would be cool to have a dog that can play frisbee.

Germany had to get it's financing from somewhere. A poor country struggling with treaty imposed fines and rapidly deflating currency cannot creat a fighting machine, can it? Don't we need money for that? Well? Where did the money come from for the wehrmacht since Germany was such a poor country that everyone had ganged up on and demanded so much money from it and on and on and on. Rubbish! I don't buy it for one minute. If Germany was so bad off would they have been able to create the wehrmacht, luftwaffe or u boats. Not likely.

If Poland had access to that kind of money, the same kind of money, I am sure they wouldn't have needed the British.

Life / Bisons of Poland - your thoughts? [90]


That is a huge range. No wonder the herds were so large with all that space. Thanks for posting the map, plk123. I could have googled but I didn't feel like messing with maps.

Yep, that answers my question about bison. This was a home where the buffalo roamed back in the day.
I typed Puma but I meant "Lynx". I thought they were Lynx sized. These at the zoo are mountain lions and when they are in their exhibit on their backs sleeping on the grass in the sun they look so sweet and loveable.


I thought Dances With Wolves the movie was supposed to be in North or South Dakota but I could be wrong. Were the Sioux once in Colorado? I don't know where it was filmed but I think I remember seeing a show on AP where people were reintroducing wolves to places in Colorado.

I'm pretty sure there's at least one bison nearby in a pen and I see it from time to time when I drive by it. (it stays in a pen by a small highway)

USA, Canada / Why would someone leave Poland for the US? [120]


There really isn't any polophonobia. The phobias that exist in other places don't exist here, not like they do elsewhere. Life is not perfect and there are plenty of bad moods but not any genuine phobias.

There are a lot of crack pipes tho.

Life / Bisons of Poland - your thoughts? [90]


I was wondering about that. The bison in the national parks aren't mixes? I was watching the news and there was a story about Bison and they said the ones in Wyoming were still mixed with domestic cattle and that's where I got the idea they were trying to make them more like the Bison that existed a few centuries back.

I don't live that close to Wyoming and I've never been to the park, just see it on the news and Discovery channels.

There isn't room here for the kinds of herds that a place like Yellowstone could manage, at least I don't think there is. I picture the bison running across the great plains and those are flat. I think of Moose as more woodsy. Didn't the bison travel across the plains in large hoods during the 1800s? Especially in North & South Dakota and into Saskatchewan?

I live further south. I wonder how many bison roamed here (where I live)? Bison is the state animal but I don't think they were ever as numerous down here. I think it's the state animal for sentimental reasons.

I see bison from time to time at the zoo and in people's small pastures and grazing on ranches. I never see any in the wild around here.

I meant this particular area when I mentioned wolves and bears. We don't have a wolf population down here. We do have some black bears, I think, but not that many, few and very far between. We have giant cougars, in the wild and on display at the zoo and I was amazed at how large they are when I saw them at the zoo. I've never been that close to one but the ones the zoo had in an exhibit of native animals were giant and I thought "those things could really get ya"

lol. I definitely don't want to be pounced on by one of those. My grandma said they prey on cattle in the woods and I wondered how they could do it because I pictured something Puma sized and then I saw some and I thought "yeah one could take down a steer".

Life / Bisons of Poland - your thoughts? [90]


I don't think there are any wild ones here, in my state :( If they are in the wild it's in the sparsely populated northwestern part of the state but I don't know if there's enough grass for them. The ones at the grocery store most likely come from a food lot in the northwest and they are probably a cross between the beef cattle and bison, so they are not as wild. In the wild they are protected and cannot be hunted because they are endangered.

Life / Bisons of Poland - your thoughts? [90]

Yeah, true, Sean, they lose their natural habitat and cannot sustain their numbers. I think Yellowstone in Wyoming might have some now. Places in the northwest are trying to bring back bears, bison, and wolves. We have a lot of deer but that's about it. Oh, and cougars, we have those, but only in remote areas. No wolves (that I know of) and very few bears. We do have a few coyotes and foxes.

Interesting about the Asian water buffalo and African Buffalo. Around here nearly everyone calls a Bison a buffalo. It's not accurate, apparently.
Here, they sell bison meat in the grocery store but it's probably a domestic cattle hybrid version of bison. I've never tried it.

I haven't met a bison on the road.
Time to get grossed out....at a local museum, might be the Science one...there's a taxidermied bison and it has a huge head and so tall. It's the closest I've ever gotten to one.

Life / Bisons of Poland - your thoughts? [90]

It's so weird that a buffalo would become so rare everywhere. Not just in North America, but all over the world. Three thousand is a low number.

Life / Bisons of Poland - your thoughts? [90]

Ours are American Bison, very beautiful and the state animal where I live. Here are two grazing in winter, which I'm sure is their favorite season with all that fur.

Life / Bisons of Poland - your thoughts? [90]


Bison are very important animals, culturally, to this part of the US. They used to exist in large herds in the northern part of the US, wherever there were grasslands.

They need savanna-like conditions to thrive, but with their coats they can tolerate severe winters.
I have seen bison in real life. They are much bigger than they look in photos. Our bison are endangered like the ones in Poland.

They are scarcer here than in Poland, probably, though I don't know for certain. Ours are mostly domestic cattles crosses kept in captivity, but there is hope the original species can repopulate the north american great plains one day.

Life / Bisons of Poland - your thoughts? [90]

Poland has bison? That is so cool!!!! I thought bison were North American, didn't know they existed in Poland. It's good to know!

UK, Ireland / POLES SUPERIOR TO BRITS? [260]


You have to keep in mind what Poland was like before it was partitioned. After partitioning powers spread their virulent influence, Poland became mediocre, like the rest of Europe. Before it was truly outstanding given what it was surrounded by.

UK, Ireland / POLES SUPERIOR TO BRITS? [260]

I don't think anyone is superior based on who they were born as, but I do admire poles for having more guts than anyone else in Europe.

This is why I am soooo happy to be half polish. Polish are strong and has guts.

News / The new Polish government is going to do... reprivatisation [25]

ReCompensation occurs after the government royally screws over a group of people. The US government has done it countless times concerning past treaties and is busy recompensating because of it. Until human beings become perfect, it's part of the human condition.

News / Polish/Croatian Relations [70]

If this forum is any indication, Poland isn't allied with anyone.

News / The new Polish government is going to do... reprivatisation [25]

Seanus, recompensation is a fact of life, better cowboy up as the rednecks say, lol. Recompensation happens everywhere. It happens in the US and it is not a destabilizing influence. Someone gets ripped off, they sue and the government pays them. That is soooo normal and typical. Poland is NOT the only country that goes thru this sort of thing. WELCOME TO EARTH!!!

The US, where I live, is always recompensating and is in a continual state of recompensation.
These things you complain about are just part of living on earth, lol. Is there one country in the developed world that hasn't had to recompensate someone somewhere? Listen, if Poles feel wronged, they should be more demanding, sue the government and jump on the recompensation bandwagon like everyone else.

News / What did Poland get out of the wars and struggles for others? [1108]

I am just saying, not everyone believes these lies. Most Americans do not. Europe has had a history of sending people away, not just jewish people, all kinds of people from all the European countries. Europeans on this board overlook that. What is the deal with Europe getting tired of people and then thinking they should just go away? Go someplace else or worse. It just looks sociopathic.

You want to criticize Israel? Why not criticize the US, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and the list goes on and on and on.
All these places were occupied by people that Europe didn't want. Israel is another one of these places. It's the exact same thing. You don't want people to live in Europe and you complain when they live elsewhere. There isn't any choice, is there?

You are going to criticize the colonies Europe created?
Every single one of these places had indigenous peoples who faced occupation before the Europeans left the boats.
