History / US snubs Poland over WW II ceremony? [75]


If we had as many as you had just in the past century we would have to adopt your model too. You barely finished celebrating bicentennial and how many military conflicts have you participated in as a nation? Do you even know? Here's a clue, if each conflict lasted as long as WWII did that would mean that throughout your entire existence you're in a constant state of war without a break. No wonder you don't remember and you have to lump them all together, otherwise it's hard to keep track of them all. So thanks for the suggestion but we will decide for ourselves as to what should we celebrate and what we should not.


The kind of **** you people cry over is not.


When I hear statements like this one it really makes me wonder. Can someone remind me one more time how did the US managed to get to where they are now?


You really believe that don't you?


This would take some doing and some miracle to pull off, don't you worry about that anymore you are fresh out of miracles. From now on, it's all downhill for you guys.

UK, Ireland / Poland Flying the Flag at Gay Pride in Manchester [75]

Some local was flying that flag in hopes that he can score some polish a**. You don't find that many of those in Poland so all I have to say; your chances are slim to none. I find it hard to believe that some Pole would be so screwed up and fly our national flag at such an event.


It will never happen, no matter how much the rest of UE would like to see that happen.


Good you can keep them.

Genealogy / Do Polish cemetaries have records [10]

Write your request in English, believe it or not RC priests are educated and they do speak foreign languages.

Language / Possibly, probably, definitely, certainly not. [6]


also z pewnością, oczywiście, naturalnie
być może, może would mean (maybe) be careful here because może być means (it will do)
być może, może, możliwe, prawdopodobnie also mean (perhaps)


Most common use for these are:
może = (maybe or perhaps)
być może = (maybe or perhaps)
może być = (it will do)
możliwie = (possibly, conceivably) but also in a phrase like możliwie jak najwcześniej/najszybciej (at your earliest convenience)


much nicer way of saying this is nie ma mowy, nie da rady, niemożliwe but your way works too and there is no way someone could mistaken it for something else. You could also say nie ma mocnych meaning it's impossible.

News / Russia opens archives and Poland demands minority rights from Germany [60]


LOL


Russia did not steal that money, Germans simply paid off what they owed to Russia and burden of proof is on them. If they indeed paid off their debt they should have the receipts from Polish government, you just don't transfer money without any proof do you.


Your analogy is flawed, we are all grown up now and if we owe money it usually means a bank not Johnny, even if that was the case why would you give the money to Dorota. If you pay your loan off to bank X while the loan was taken with bank Y, did you really paid off that loan? Bank Y dose not give a fvck who you give the money to even if it's Dorota, all it knows you did not pay off your loan and it has the right to kick you out of the house, after all the house belongs to the bank. Any court of law will side with the bank Y, if that's the case, the burden of proof is on you to prove to the court whether or not you paid off your loan to bank Y, in which case you should have your receipt. Even you can't be that stupid Harry, as for the Germans if they indeed paid it to the Soviets (bank X in this case or Dorota) they have as much common sense as you do.


No Poland was betrayed by, you know who.

History / WHO WILL REPRESENT THE USA AT WESTERPLATTE? [28]


This is as much our war as it is theirs, infect this is everyone's war. Using soldiers as a pawns in a political game is childish, besides I provided solution to this dilemma if you only cared to read past the first sentence.

History / WHO WILL REPRESENT THE USA AT WESTERPLATTE? [28]

What our forces in Afghanistan have do do with American no show at the WWII observance at Westerplatte. The solution is simple enough, treat them like you would any of your friends, after a few no shows you simply don't invite them over ever again.

News / Microsoft Poland whitens a black face in its advert [130]

I'm sure you did, but what did you hear about what's going on in Rwanda and Darfur or any other region in Africa where hundreds die every day. I bet not as much because it's in no ones interest to do so, if they did they might even be obligated to help and what kind of business is that when you give away something for free. These are more pressing issues which are conveniently ignored by big business, media and therefore by general population of the western world. Like anyone gives a dam?

You might be right about that, but on the other hand if it was so common how come I have not seen it with my own eyes or come to think of it have you? Or is it that you just read about it in a paper or internet article?

News / Microsoft Poland whitens a black face in its advert [130]


What links are those, the statistics are always manipulated especially now when big corporations want multiculturalism because they are in mead of cheap labor force. Commies used to say the same thing about the west, how west discriminates their own citizens of colour contrasting it with how people on this side of the Iron curtain live in harmony, blowing every incident out of proportion. Have you not heard of propaganda. It's in someones interest to do so, although it's not a complete lie it is exaggerated and blown out of proportion.


You can't, I remember reading here about the bars you frequent, so I know for a fact that you do not fancy women.

Really, seems to me like it was done on the cheap by the management who did not want to spend the money on a new advertizing campaign. As we all know the top bosses are foreigners, they made the decision to paint the black guy white, so yes its stupidity and hypocrisy, very much so.

News / Microsoft Poland whitens a black face in its advert [130]

Mvefa - this just shows the hypocrisy on behalf of western countries. No matter how many laws you pass or how PC you present yourself to be, you can't escape true feelings and stupidity of an average Joe. Now the truth came out because some morons photo-shop skills were not up to the task, but did the best he could on the orders from his moron boss, you shift blame on Poland because you did not want to offend Polish people! How pathetic is that? Perhaps you should admit to yourselves that contrary to what you preach about multiculturalism, you're still not ready for it and underneath all this PC bull you're still the same old bigot as you used to be. Trust me, the world would be a much batter place if people were just honest about their true feelings. At least then you know where you stand.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]

I agree that without Irish roots they would be less inclined to feel like the heirs to Irish republicanism or Irish Nationalism but the first point you have made is completely false, more likely they would be indifferent. Being indifferent does not put them in the enemy camp. Seems like the lines are well defined on both sides of the issue in Ireland, the people are very passionate about it and they are set in their conviction, therefore it's very important for you to educate the minority and sway their opinion to your cause, not to alienate them through extreme nationalism. Who knows how it will play out but if you ever make a peaceful attempt to reunite through some kind of referendum in the near future you will need all the support you can get of the local inhabitants of the land, no matter if they are Irish through and through or resent settlers there. If you choose armed struggle for the reunification of Ireland extreme nationalism plays a very important role and it's not necessarily a bad thing either, the choice is yours.

Being Polish makes me more sympathetic to your cause then you might think. However statements like this


would make me think twice. I would simple have to be there and see how the locals view me because I don't think you represent the majority of Irish people. At the moment I'm not there so I'm indifferent but sympathetic.

Law / It is impossible to get temporary residency in Poland [23]


No use to complain about it when your own government dose the same thing. You have your own bureaucracy when someone wants to visit US and what you have stated above works the same way in reverse. If a British citizen wants to visit US there's no visa applications to fill no visa fees etc but when a Polish national wants to visit US he has to apply for a visa only to find out that it has been denied. So what makes you think that being an American makes you equal to a British citizen in the eyes of the Polish authorities? and the same rules, procedures and fees should apply to you when your own government makes the same distinction when it comes to the British and Polish nationals. No offence to you but Americans want to be treated as VIP's and have special privileges simply because they are American. If you ask me, there should be a policy of tit for tat when it comes to the restriction of travel between Poland and US. As we say “Jak Kuba Bogu, tak i Bóg Kubie.”
