Life / Stalin's baroque style in Poland's architecture [16]

I don't have possibility to see your photographs, but think one of them is Stalin's skyscraper in Warsaw? But why you can revere baroque, refusing the same Stalin's patterns?

Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]

Certainly homosexualism is not the same as alcoholism but stands in the long row of human little deviation as few shots of bourbon after meal, to be a muslim or catholic, etc. There is no need to advocate or propagandize it, just enjoy.

Under the "Bible" I mean any vain far-fetched attempt to use all these pseudo-sacred tales as true historical facts.

Bible is very odd source of historical knowledge. Those who choose it are v-e-r-y deep into history. Modern alchemists.

Actually vodka was an Italian invention, originaly it was imported in Russia by merchants from Genoa. Thus neither Russia nor Poland cannot pretend for patent. Though Russians invented how to distillate potato in vodka.

This Sunday I will be in Germany, and now I am trying to choose vodka as present for customers, awfully difficult task.

It is rather strange, but neither Rome (by name at least), nor Greece, Persia, RP, Reich, or USA deserves the name 'empire'. You forgot to mention such odd empire as British or brief French (twice). The first was granted to queen Victory in order to flatter her vanity and the second two were created by maniacs.

Well, may be you are right, neverthlerss we created the most magnificent empire, the world ever seen, and you lost everything. Our history forms singular piece of historic process, but yours will be just an appendix of russian.

No doubt, you are not Pole afte that. He was common russian peasant who exterminated whole polish regiment, sent to find the place where new elected tsar Mikhail Romanov had found his refuge.

You are right, bandits and robers are very effective in pillage, but eventually you had paid for pillage.

Do you think that participation in crusade, especially in forth one, may cause a surge of pride?

Indeed? This is a fiction story from the begining. There is no primary sources pointing out polish activity during crusades. However, I could admit that few poles took part in first crusade especially. Nope, these poles scarcerly deserved the knight title, rather auxiliary. Most likely you can assert that alot of polish "knights" had taken part in crusade of destitutes before first crusade or in the children crusade.

What? Polish knights everywhere... Silly yarn about omnipresence of Poles. I have heard alot about Italian, French, German, English and even Norwegian knighthood in Palestine, moreover even Russian pilgrims were engaged in those events, but nothing about Poles. Though I think that Guy de Lousinan was Pole, for his unique ability to lose everything he had.
