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

But there isn't much they can do about it. Europeans could be more like them.

Really? Na ja...maybe a life in a reservations with the money from casino licenses wouldn't be that bad....

Europeans can do the same. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Why should they?

What I meant was, Europe pretty much had it's way with the US so what does it matter if people emigrate from Asia? For hundreds of years every disgruntled european found their way to the US. So why stop others from doing the same thing now? What would be the point? I think everyone should get to go where they want.

He...They can clogging the US as much as they want. The US really are an immigration country, a mud pit or a melting pot if you so want.

(Even if the fact that many Americans still remember where their families came from once and still often adhere to old traditions speak against the "melting pot" ideal).

I just don't want that for european countries...

Nah, those are immigrants to the state, non citizens. There's lots of native tribes here and many nations. This place has soooooo many nations. You wouldn't believe it. It would probably give you a nervous breakdown, considering...lol

Well...first you called Vietnames and Pakistani as

Groups indigenous to this continent

now you talk of the native indian nations.
Make up your mind girl!
And no, since I don't have to live there I won't get a nervous breakdown either...

Vietnamese, Mexicans, Pakistanis, India Indians, Indonesians.

They are all natives to North America??? Really interesting to hear....I take it they then emigrated from America and founded Vietnam and Pakistan later?

and most are american ethnic groups, not immigrants. Groups indigenous to this continent.

Native Indians, Indios....and?

I wonder what will become of the US once the balance is tipped for good and the hispanics have the absolute majority.
Till now the US is predominantly white anglo-saxon in culture, that will change.

This place could be a stunning example to the rest of the world.

Keeping and cherishing their heritage? Wasn't it you who would like to see everyone mixed up?

Scotland should definately be more than one

Hmmm....I don't know much about Scotland but there surely are differences too...maybe between East and West? North and South? Highland and Lowlands? :)

I have no idea!

It isn't a matter of to much or to few...a region with a different dialect, different customs etc either exists or not. The people living there know best!

I think these regions are bound to places and areas though. That's where these distinctions developed and where they thrive.

For example I remember my grandmother speaking strong silesian dialect, I remember silesian dishes. That died out with her as her offspring grew up in Berlin and took on Berliner dialect and custom but when I would travel to lower Silesia I'm sure I would find those customs and dishes again....I would hate to see it dying out as a region!

The map you linked there shows huge differences in what constitutes a region. Scotland is just one, Belgium just two, France is divided into rather large departments, England into lots of little counties. How unfair is that! No Osiolia either.

This is an organization where regions voluntarily can become members to work together and strenghten their influence and develop their infrastructure etc.
It isn't complete...not every region is a member right now!

Tell me more about Osiolia...:)

According to various calculations, my region is England, the East of England or Hertfordshire. The East of England, to me, is quite meaningless. I'm definately NOT an East Anglian

Your "region" doesn't have to be where you live right now but which whose customs, dishes and dialect you grew up with, what means "home" for you. Local fairytales, famous people, history, the way of the people...all this stuff.

All modern nation states consist of many regions which were in earlier times quite independent and with a clear distinction to their neighbours. The need to forge a common society out of these often so different groups smothered and watered down these distinctions (sometimes forcefully) and sometimes even made them vanish, extinct. An incredible cultural loss for all of Europe!

It's time to reverse this process...

In a Europe of Regions (what will come to replace the national states) there is a place for Kashubians, Silesians, Lusatians etc.etc.etc...because you won't have to decide anymore for or against former hostile nation states....it makes sense to re-discover old roots and customs.

The coming Europe will be far more colourful and rich in heritage and at the same time more peaceful without the centuries old grievances.....

News / Poland will take half a century to catch up with the West [240]

Even as I'm not an expert I seriously doubt that.
With all the money and support flowing Polands way from the EU they ought to catch up much more quickly.
Most of Eastern Germany now looks already bright and shiny again even compared to big parts of western Germany - has catched up mostly already.

Why should Poland be different?

You have mixed heritage. Your part of Europe is VERY mixed and you have to accept it.

Oh I accept it...but the case is I'm mixed with other Europeans! :)

The Romans surely wished to have Germania as a roman province and to settle but they came only as far as Cologne (fighting breaks with the tribes not withstanding). In the end it was germanic tribes who conquered and settled in what was Rome!

PS: The old Romans were Europeans to btw.....very germanic looking! :)
Just look at those marble statues...small lips, high straight thin noses, long
faces...Europeans! /March-Titans-History-White-Race/

You were eventually conquered by Holy Romans which is why Germans became catholics

Wasn't it more a religious matter? Is that now ethnical too???
(And only one half of Germany is catholic btw)

Then again, you germans have always been kind of disgruntled.

...don't you confuse that with straightforward honesty!

You can't be serious!!! The real question is: Why would you associate that statement with hate??? How is it hateful?

I dunno, you tell me?
You deny the natives of Europe their heritage...want to make them a mud pit of the world...for me that speaks of contempt and even hate.

Oh and Europeans who believe in their heritage are not self-hating, quite the contrary...they are very conscious about their past and roots and cherish them!

You have assimilated semetics and asians into your family tree.

Why are you so obsessed with that? Do you hate Europeans? :)

I swear there is so much ignorance on this forum. It really does attract some of the most ignorant people. I don't know why that is. It's a shame.

Now aren't we poor PFers are blessed now that you have come to show us the light!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

You don't grasp that many Europeans are mixed with all kinds of ethnic groups. Semetic tribes, as well as Asians.

Och nö...not your "all yurpeens have jewish ancestors anyhow" diatribe again!
(If it would be so there wouldn't had been those lots of pogroms nor the Holocaust)

News / All this mess about Danzig... [122]

As to this rapes in Berlin it seems that many German females were looking for strong men (winer) after the war ... because German males had broken psyche and were considered losers...

It's always the same...the moment Lukasz enters a discussion it get's ugly...
I now really wonder about all the polish women all those centuries as Poland was off the map...polish men couldn't have held great appeal for the proud polish women then as the losers they were, right Luki?

No, the "lesson" applied to the Central Powers in WWI would be very simple: the complete and utter destruction of those powers infrastructure. These actions would destroy any seeds of revenge because the defeat would have been so physically and emotionally enduring..

And for how long? What are your long term plans with Germany? Do you think the grievances just vanish?

As I see it your way to peace would not be reconciliation between the peoples but stomping down even more on the Gemans, the biggest, most industrious and developed country in Europe, yes?

My guess is it wouldn't had worked...not for long!
(Just take the Poles....they were utterly occupied for generations. Did it destroy the seeds for revenge??? Did it erase all grievances and their yearning for independence?)

You are just avoiding a clear answer....The Germans hadn't the blessings of hindsight, neither had the Brits nor anybody else.
And when you even with hindsight are not able to be a rival to Hitler's promises in said imaginary referendum how should it had panned out differently???

(I really doubt threatening any "lessons" would do the trick...)

Why the need for change? Do you value the trait of seriousness?

Now where did I put my smilies...

My eyes cross attempting to understand all the former cultures and ethnicities in the area. :-/

I tell ya....we all should unify and just merge...we are so mixed up anyhow! :)

Everything, bikes including lol was allowed after passports control.

Bikes huh??? The connection between two parts of a country through bikes???
How generous!

And it's true...no autobahn, no railway...Poles didn't even wanted to negotiate!
