History / Poland before WWII or Poland now what would you choose? [390]

Nobody will dominate anyone unless someone will let itself to be dominated. Poland should choose the best way for its citizens - this is priority. I said it many times that I am grateful for any political support possible from Poland. No matter what Poland does, it should do in her own interests - not in anyone else's. You should not sacrifice anything. Do whatever you see right for the future of Polish people. That's it.

In late 1943, the actions of Soviet partisans, who were ordered to liquidate the AK forces

Yeh, these Germans were beasts. First, they made Soviets to kill AK soldiers and then paid money to Soviets. Oh, these Germans...;)

renovating those bloody buildings

They won't fall and many are under reconstruction now. But, hey, help is always of great value, Ogorki. I agree absolutely that everything has to be done to bring the city to the top notch.

right to expel

Show me one place where I said anything about expulsion based on any reason whatsoever.
I don't need to confirm about my city anything. I know it was and is Ukrainian. If you are interested in history of Lviv, there are plenty of literature.

Like having an adopted child. Try taking a child away from parents that adopt it

Like having taken back a stolen child. From fake parents that stole it and keep on whining.
Otherwise, Ogorki, good point. I think Ironside and Sokrates should look at Przemysl on your map.

Sure I can

Prove.

Well ... Why Germans payed for Soviet Union ? Poland haven't receved single dollar from Soviets. It is German problem that they payed money for wrong country.

I like your stupid logic, Salomon. And I see many will do the same. You are willing to accuse anyone, but say anything against Russians. Germany was destroyed and they would have signed to pay anyone who had any word in it. Neither Poland, nor Ukraine had a say in it. Soviets stole the money and it is not Germans' fault that they didn't hear Polish voice when they were paying off. Russia is responsible for the money as it declared itself as rightful descendant of Soviet Union taking all the money SU had with all the debts (Russia crossed out all the debts right away). And I see you will defend Russia's accusation of Poland causing the WW2, hm? What else, Salomon?

My grand-grandfather had 30 ha of field, he had many workers, which respected him a lot. My grandfather ended up with a little field (where I helped out a bit as well), because the rest was taken by communists. As of working for your granfather, well, my grandpa never was in Poland, so...

About taking over - what's keeping you? Come on. Or you out of horses? ;)) Not a big deal - we will fight with no tanks, ok? ;)) We are not as unpredictable as Germans. ;))

Can you prove he was Ukrainian ?

Can you prove Mickiewicz was Polish or Napoleon was French? What about Mieszko or Plato? ;)

Bloody hypocrite

Calm down, Sokrates, I know that and I agree with you. ;)

Who originally founded Gdansk?

So why do you bark about L'viv? L'viv was founded by Ukrainian king Danylo Halyckyj and invaded by Poland 100 years later in 1340. And with Gdansk you feel like saying "who was the owner originally" - hypocrisy, isn't it?

west than Gdansk but the point here is not who may have crossed an area but who founded it

Exactly right, Zimmy. :) Remember your words and don't change them later.

The Polish port of Gdansk was founded in 997 by a non Goth named Mieszko.

Interesting that some Goths spoke a language that had little to do with German

What language has to do with it? You started to pray in Polish only in 1960s, were you Latinian before that?

First you'll have to negotiate the eastern Polish areas swallowed by Russia.

What did Russians take from you - Kaliningrad? I thought it was Prussians as well - Koningsberg? If you mean again your fantasy about Ukrainian lands, read above.

Hahaha. I see you have never been in Lviv. Go there, Sokrates for Euro 2012 at least. You'll see. Most of the architecture was built by Austro-Hungarian empire, not Poland.

I was in Gdansk last summer and beside fabulous German-built architecture and German-built downtown, I saw building-blocks of communism time that you managed to raise likewise in the post-war period. Ithink it is a tragedy of both countries architecture-wise. :)

Love / CULTURAL DIFFERENCE/PROBLEMS IN MIXED POLISH-UK MARRIAGES [34]

That can cut both ways, believe me! Lost count of the women I know who tear themselves apart over men who are way below them rather than be alone for a while.

I agree. Why is it so, that these people who will die for the other don't meet? :( Why love has to be so often opposed by not mere indifference, but simply by treating the other like he/she is is worse than nothing?

P.S. Language is usually an issue for women, not men. What would you say?

News / Polish priest publishes sex guide [97]

He write it for Catholic to tell them is OK to enjoy sex in marriage!

Whew! Thank you, priest! Before I used to put a cloth in my mouth or bite myself to the bone when I had orgasm. Now - what a relief - I can enjoy it! ;)

Love / CULTURAL DIFFERENCE/PROBLEMS IN MIXED POLISH-UK MARRIAGES [34]

welshguyinpola

This shite happens always to a guy who loves, who is respectful, thoughtful etc. The more you love a woman, the more you will lose a princess in her. Later on she will take away your freedom and will treat you like nothing. Then religion, language and mother-in-law's constant grudging becomes a daily routine. Your princess is a f* witch sucking your blood on a daily basis. What to do? You have one of two choices: 1.)put your foot into your wife's mouth, throw the in-law out; 2.)live the way you live till the end of your life and what is the worst - the kid might feel some anger and animosity to you later, because your wife will set him/her against you and be treating you as garbage in front of him/her. I saw and lived some of it. Do it now, when the kid is still a baby, teach him languages - kids may learn 4 languages at a time with no difficulty and confusion. Open the world for him/her not one based solely on "halleluya" and "Sunday's routines", but give him/her some more - normal life. Father is as important in life of a kid as a mother is. You have to do something, Welshguyinpola, for the sake of your kid, yourself and the family in general. In doing this you are not a bad guy, you simply put everything in its place. Good luck, Welshguy!

History / Poland and Ukraine [240]

BB, nobody wants NATO's backup. It won't move a finger, anyway. The only question stands whether Europe will keep on sucking on Russia's arse or finally will make itself less dependant from it and more pro-active in defending liberties (not militarily) of nations striving to gain freedom. It is a pure business for Europe: if you let disappear countries like Georgia (they will be fighting till they die, no doubt), devoured into a big mass of military nothingness as is Russia, it will be at your borders sooner or later and neither borders, not dialogue will help you then. You don't have to trust me, but read history and news, and pick up something better than CNN (it's not news).

I completely agree with Switezianka, another case of a priest using his moral standing to venture into unknown territory and try to influence people's decisions. When will they ever learn? He should have put it into a spoof series :)

I agree with Switezianka as well. But concerning your opinion, Seanus, I think you have to agree that priests can add some spiritual context to sex, which if taken completely out of a prostitute or a sexologist's knowledge and experience, may lack many deeper aspects, which both of the mentioned professions miss to confer to it.

History / Poland and Ukraine [240]

Ukraine is not ready for EU right now and this is obvious. When it will be ready, I wish it stays out of it. Simple economical and political cooperation will do it, BB. I am grateful for Polish support and I think that if it will be important and inevitable to join some union, EU is, of course, the best one. Till then a lot has to be done and I wouldn't like Ukraine to come into it as a poor country asking for help. If it comes in, it should be economically strong and pose its demands on equal partnership which EU currently is not. Certain countries dictate others what to do. But this time is far into the future...

Regarding Gergia, BB, don't be a smart ass. Georgia is an independant country which deserves to be free as anyone else. Your country started two WORLD WARS just because of greed and reparations (the latter are understandable). Georgia doesn't like likewise to be poked at, each time into its territory by Russia which has nothing in mind but to goble up all the world and turn it in into a poor sh*t like was Soviet Union or Russian empire before that. You rip your butt defending Germany in similar cause, so at least have some consistency in respect to Georgia.

History / Western Europe and America vs Russia WWII - chances of Poland being saved [494]

Don't you notice that every your next post as like as two peas in pod in comparison to the previous one?

It takes many facts to bring understanding of danger that country presents for stability in the world. I never mentioned the fact about drown and shot soldiers who covered up the river for Soviet tanks. It is just a fact. I don't hate Russians, I want them to be dealing with their own issues and stop pretending innocence with "very sophisticated treatment" of POWs ;l

As to Russians I'd say that Russians were very sophisticated in treatment of Germans in comparision to German behaviour on east.

Oh ye?! In Ukraine POWs - prisoners of war - who were encircled by Germans were dearmed and offered as an exchange for german POWs. Actually Germany gave back more than SU had. All the soldiers who were rescued this way where shot and thrown into river Dnieper so tanks could pass it since all the bridges were destroyed. And trust me - Dnieper is deep. So imagine how many soldiers were killed by "very sophisticated treatment" of Russians (they killed own soldiers!) so the artillery could pass over corpses the river. They are f*cking inhumane bastards.

Come on , Ironside, you have to know in oreder to write. It is not a kindergarten anymore. But I would also understand an input of a priest into a book written by a sexologist, prostitute and a gigolo :)

That's what I said.

Absolutely. It is like writing a book on a cell having no idea what it is. I think Roman Catholic Church should adopt Orthodox approach on celibacy and when a priest wants to marry, he can do this before taking the oath. Ukrainian Catholic Church, part of which I am, has never had any issue with child sex abuse as Roman Catholic. Give your priest an option of getting married, it is as natural as air you breeze in. On the other hand, if a priest wants to advance on the church rang ladder, he must choose either: either you are a bishop or you are married and priest. Solution to many damaged lives and endless lawsuits problem.

Sokrates:
There is no justification for genocide, you had superior military might, you could and should have excersized restraint while sorting out the region, as for Chechenya Russia has absolutely no right to be there and everything it does in there is evil and wrong.
Today must be a cold day in hell, I've just completely agreed with Sokrates!

It is not a cold day up there, it is just whatever he said is a truth. I also wanted to say that about Sokrates, but he is completely right on the issue about Chechnia and Russia.
