History / Matters of Propaganda...Or: how was the West portrayed in Poland? [150]

asn't Greece part of the "Cow-deal" between Stalin and Churchill? "You get Greece, but then we want Poland?"

I think Greece was exchanged for Romania but greek civil war helped chinese communists immensely to come to power because it deprived the West of the moral advantage to intervene in China.

But indeed, the Greek Civil War was a pretty nasty story, yes.

All marshall plan investment went to tanks and planes to kill the communists.But the latter were not better.You got a rifle and an order to kill your neighbour because he was right wing or your brother because he was ''fascist''.Of course the hitlerites on the other side were even more brutal.Everyone knew what expected him if the opposite side prevailed.

I never knew that about Greece, strange.
Why was that?

Civil war maybe?When communists were beaten hard in 1946-1949 and many had to exile to eastern block,a lot of the rest being imprisoned.

A lot of people were concerned about the situation of orthodox church in SU.We heard about churches being closed and priests getting beaten.
When communists had a great party was when it was announced that SU has the atomic bomb in 1948.They were breaking the transistors from their joy,such was their happiness.

We had in school some books written by hardcore socialists who continuously praised the economic achievments of eastern block.I remember a book called financial geography which told about the deep crisis and decline of spanish economy while praising the astonishing progress of albanian economy!This was in 1987.

History / Matters of Propaganda...Or: how was the West portrayed in Poland? [150]

The socialists in western Europe portrayed communist countries with bright colours.I remember communists in Greece supported fanatically evenry eastern block country whether it was a football match against a western team or in Olympic Games.They were delighted when teams from communist countries won.

There was also a lot of talk about communist countries achievemnets how there is no unemployment,free eductaion and health care for all etc.

There was also a dark side of people who travelled there and came back and told about hunger,lack of basic consumer products.I remember a description of Poland by a comedian which became famous as a joke:''There the people are hungry.What a country.With a kolynos(brand name of toothpaste) you get a girlfriend.

I heard rumours of people going there bringing with them stockings,women underwear and servietes and I could not believe that there was lack of these things in iron curtain.

Love / Why do Polish Women Think They Know Better? [134]

Today I had sex with two polish cousines when the one of them started licking the nipples of the other.She asked her why do you lick my nipples and the cousine answered because I love you.So I guess polish women know better.

History / Slavs vs Germanics: Battle of the centuries [44]

Mediteranean cuisine is probably superior.(and because of the ingredients).

I recently read Hitler's notes by Bormann.Hitler seemed to understand Czechs extremely well and Poles quite well but he had a very obsolete and distorted view about the Russians.He obviously underestimated them.

History / Slavs vs Germanics: Battle of the centuries [44]

O.K.Now I will write what is better in Germany
1.Roads.Autobahnen vs rasputnica.Obvious superiority of the Autobahnen
2.Trains.German trains are noiseless and fast.PKP is like the old women selling their tickets
3.Houses.Germanic houses are very well built and have super how do you say that?,insulation?not to let any heat out,you are in the house and you don't hear any noise from the street.Also german architecture though somewhat monotonous is impressive and very precise

4.Elevators,electrical systems,all infrastructure is vastly superior in BRD
5.Ergonomie,exploitation of space,another sector Germans expell
6.Patiency.How can they be so patient?
7.That provincial towns look often even better than central cities.Another peculiar characteristic of Germany
8.Hidden resources.They are there but you don't see them
9.Cars.I didn't see many slavic cars in Germany.On the contrary I saw quite a few germanic cars in slavic countries
10.Hotels.Much better in Germany for the same amount of money.In general infrastructure in Germany is vastly superior but this happens also among Germany and all its neighbours since Germany is unique

11.Railway stations

History / Slavs vs Germanics: Battle of the centuries [44]

1. You've never been to Germany

Wrong.I was there 6 months.

2. You've never had a German woman

This is normal.

You never drank German beer, wine or Schnaps

I drank beer.Berlin Lager is not bad.

real German food

I ate german food.If it was real,I don't know.

You've never been beaten up by a German

Pity since there are very good dungeons there.

You never heard of German electronic music, rock bands and Techno

Yes,Rammstein and Scorpions?I prefer polish rap.

You've never ate uncontaminated food

You mean polish food is contaminated?

History / Slavs vs Germanics: Battle of the centuries [44]

Let's see some main issues:
1.Nature.Slavic nature is far more advanced and attractive.Forests and rivers everywhere
2.Women.Here there are no comments
3.Drinks.Germanic vinegrad vs high quality vodkas and sliwowice
4.Food.At least slavic food can be eaten(without need for imagination)
5.Mentality.Slavic openness and freedom vs germanic realism,pragmatism and sticking to rules
6.Dances.Slavs among the most competent dancers in the world
7.Physical power.Slavs the strongest men in the world
8.Music.Slavic russky pop,disco polo and czesky country vs germanic songs of the Hamburg boaters.Even soviet songs are superior to the latter
9.Agricultural products.Milk slowianka vs milk Hitler.I will take slowianka.

UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish migrant in the UK. Ch. 4 - Language [66]

to the demands that I speak with my Polish boyfriend in English on the street so that every low life can control my conversation?

Yes,this with the language is sensitive subject.Some people do not like to hear polish,russian and serbian.They dislike these languages,the sounds.I doubt if the English had problems with listening to french or german.

I am also a bit annoyed when I hear girls talking in russian in my country(although i understand what they say) because it seems like conspiracy since russian girls get involved with countrymen so it seems like they do sth not to be understood or sth like that.It is cultural.

UK, Ireland / What is good about being in the UK? [140]

'I hate that they have better roads, because it makes me jealous',

You don't have better roads because the Germans did not want the Russians to move their tanks on them.

UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish migrant in UK. Ch. 3 - Food [93]

Complaining about food quality in the UK is like complaining about lack of ships in Czech Republic.How can an island placed in this geographical position have tasty food is beyond my imagination.
