History / Ancient Polish History thread [180]
I will add more later...
After Władysław Herman had died, the country was divided between his sons Zbigniew and Bolesław. Bolesław III Krzywousty in 1107 united the country and expelled his brother Zbigniew. German king Henry V stood in defense of Zbigniew and in 1109 invaded Poland but was defeated. Zbigniew came back to Poland but on his brother's order was blinded and soon later died. He managed to again conquer all the previously conquered territories, held for a short time, including Pomerania. In 1129 made an aliance with Danmark. He died in 1138. Before his death he divided the country between his sons in this way trying to prevent them from fighting one another. The country was divided into 5 regions. 4 for each of his sons and 5th for the oldest of them, who was going to be the representative of the whole of Poland.
This is the end of early Piasts period. Next is fragmentation.
Bolesław III Krzywousty (1085-1138)

Life / Day-to-day Polish Customs [20]
True...
Be extra polite to women.
When invited by someone to their home, on a first visit it's nice to bring a fresh cut flower or two for the lady of the house. Depending on the degree of intimacy with your hosts (I don't mean anything explicit here) it's OK to bring a token bottle of something for the man.

News / Polish "brainbox" comes back to Poland from the UK for a better education [77]
But 30 years ago anyone with matura was already quite well educated. Now It's rather "you're a fool If you don't have It", so It's simply not possible to keep very high standards If we want average kid to pass It.

UK, Ireland / Polls for Poles in the UK [178]
Christ... This has nothing to do with EU, this is about the most basic civilized standards of relations between countries. The polling stations where in Polish owned buildings or in places rented by our government, so how the hell British government could "not allow" that to happen ? Send police and arrest people organizing these elections ?
and what makes you such an authority on international law, and even if you are right, why should someone from brussels or anywhere else be allowed to dictate law in the uk?

Are you kidding me ?
To be honest if we said 'no' you can't have public ballet boxes instead you have to vote by post or by going to the embassy i don't really think the rest of the world apart from Poland would care.

Torn, unfortunately you don't let me change my mind about you. I don't like EU (maybe not totally but in current version this is s*hit no doubt) but this has nothing to do with EU or any political correctness, that's not any "make love not war" kind of stuff, that's simply one of the most basic things. If your government tried to interrupt in any way, you would make yourself an ass of the world and suffer huge loses both politically and economically.
well there you go 'International Law' how about Britain having rights about Britain not International law having rights over Britain, thats my point. WE SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OURSELVES :)

Torn, I'm sorry to say that but you behave like an idiot. We have polling stations in every corner of this planet and your "why we allow that" make you only look like a 13yo kid. If you had any idea about international law, you would know that It's not a case of allowing anything, you simply have no saying about that.

News / Poland to join the Schengen zone the beginning of next year [36]
Rather not but I'm not sure.
Rather yes but I'm not sure.
Or does immigration have nothing to do with this?
Rather not but I'm not sure.
If one is travelling from outside the Schengen zone to a Schengen country (other than Poland) holding a Polish temp residence card and no visa, are they allowed into that country?
Rather yes but I'm not sure.
