History / Polish-German history book for Schools [28]

All the more reason to standardize history books.

Be careful what you wish for.

Hitler was pro-Polish, and desired a strong, independent, anti-Communist Poland. Germany and Poland should have been natural allies, forming a bulwark against bolshevism in Europe, and should have been ideal trading partners.

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]

what is your point.

Sorry, I must have missed the inside joke. I just get tired of hearing about superficial things (I am not implicating this board). All day long it's beauty, weight, personal possessions, etc... All fading attributes...

Sorry to be so heavy...

Speaking about getting leveled, this sure sounds like a great time to grab a beer.

See ya!!!

News / Where did the respect for Polish president go? [28]

That is your right but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in that you conduct yourself with class when presenting the issues you have against these men.

In America is is different, very different. I like to say "never have so many travelled so far on the back of the few."

News / Where did the respect for Polish president go? [28]

i live in the US, in the deep South where Republicans rule. Not everybody agree with GW Bush politics, but people respects him as i have never heard anybody talking badly about him.

I live in the Midwest and find that Bush bashing has been a sport since 2001. Here in Illinois, especially in the bluest of blue areas Chicago, the bashing continues to roll on today.

Whether you agree or disagree with Bush there should some sort of respect paid to the man.

Unfortunately in this ever increasing secular society, where man made laws supplant Judeo-Christian teaching, and where the State is the God, respect for life, property, and equality just keeps on diminishing..

History / Poland, cradle of true West [13]

What is known is that by the thirteenth century Małopolska & Wielkopolska lie right in the middle of the trade route between the Rhineland, Germany, Bohemia, Kiev, Byzantium, and the Orient.

The Polanie were linked to their neighbors was language; the słowo language. This included the Słowianie, Sclavinii, and the and Slavs.

History / Russia tells teachers to lie to students about "Katyn" [139]

Just because one family member was killed at Katyn does not make them anymore or any less special than those who died in the skies over Holland and France or on the ground at Omaha Beach.

You don't get it. It's not that they died, it is how they died.

History / UPA - Ukrainian Insurgent Army. How they killed poles in Volhynia (1943). [139]

When I was a child my grandmother read letters from our rodzina in the motherland. Events like these were passed on by my grandmother to me.

I am forever grateful to her for these times and will never forget the stories and histories she passed on to me.

News / What if Russia decide to liberate Scottland from England? Polish position [152]

Crow,

There are dopes in this country (USA) that believe the world is run by the great powers and f*** everyone else.

All other nations are expendable: you and my other Slavic brothers in Serbia, Georgia, and yes Poland.

It's a disease in this country; virulent and spreading..

News / Funny German way of thinking ... "Stupid Poles" destroying EU? [57]

But they are right! Germany do not have common border with Russia.

Problem solved!!!

Maybe the Hun and the Bear can re-live 1939 and split the motherland on the Bug..

Somehow I cannot believe that this twisted dream occupies a place in the mind of the most rabid of Polophobe.

A common opinion among German leftist.

German posturing; nothing more.

Germans believe stupid Poles are "destroying" European (= German) Ostpolitik installing 10 us-missiles somewhere in Pomerania.

Is this your opinion or a real story gaining traction in Germany?

And no, Gerhard Schroder's opinion does not count.

News / Third World War and the role of Poland [82]

Winston Churchill was a man who along with Roosevelt, Hitler and Stalin, probed just how far Western Civilization could fall in just six short years of time.

History / Norman Davies on the Warsaw uprising [50]

Churchill was the leader who wanted the USAAF bases in Ukraine to be used to supply Warsaw. Roosevelt was the one who stopped them from being so used.

Go back to school little boy, and this time try to learn something while you are there.

Did 'Uncle Joe' have a say in all of this? If so, what was his position on letting Allied planes supporting the uprising land in Soviet held territory in order to regroup before retuning home to their bases?

News / Should Poland send volunteers to Georgia ? [100]

LOL ! Georgians sent 2000 soldiers to Iraq and now screw them ? One has to love the Yanks !

Our overt involvement will only exacerbate the situation.

When I look at this photo I get sick to my stomach:

wiadomosci.onet.pl/101536,21,3,pokaz.html

This is a horrible situation; one that needs to start with diplomacy.

Grzegorz, if you're George W. Bush what do you do?

News / Polish vs russian economy [57]

Depends on your definition of "stronger".

If your definition is Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the market value of all final goods and services from a nation in a given year, then the answer (as of 2007) would be Russia.

News / Thank you Ireland... EUCCP [81]

Where is the fine line?

I find the phrase "made to understand" to be dangerous.

Maybe the Irish chose to speak in their voice?

There is a very fine line here...

Is this a matter of education or indoctrination?

News / Poland: the 51st state of America [119]

There are good examples of well functioning public health systems (France or Germany) but they are not widely publicized in the US media.

The examples I'd like to see analysis on are the systems implemented by Singapore and Switzerland.

News / Russian court refuses to hear Poland massacre case [25]

Why? to hear is necesery first step

Its not logical move, if Russia wants to pledge with other Slavs in order to secure future of Slavic civilization.

IMO this is what needs to happen if the past is to heal, this is how civilized Slavic people show respect for each other

I read Crow's response as believing that an admission was a first step in the healing process.
