History / Is anything but Polish history taught in Polish schools? [50]

Im kinda nervous about the state of britains education these days too joe,I think its an international phenomiwottsit, kids are not being educated for the sake of knowladge but to pass certain exams and make the schools/education boards look good/get next years funding bonus....shamefull really.

History / 1939: the road to tyranny. Is it happening again? [14]

How on earth can you compare it to 30s germany? I mean,its not as though peoples of one specific religion are constantly in the media being demonised,there arent huge military parades with giant flags behind the nations leader,the world doesnt seem to be economicaly unstable.....oh,wait,er,uhm...oops,i'll get me gas mask.

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]

grow up lukasz,dont you have a buisness to run???you really are a pathetic loser,you go looking for sympathey,no one gives you any so you log in as a "guest" you really are a head case arnt you?

For every one who hasnt been to Poland or doesnt know any Polish people this little boy is not a good example of your avarage Pole,he'seems more like a bit of a care in the community case,and dont worry,he doeesnt live anywhere near Krakow or speak for the people of that fine sophisticated city.

News / Why does Poland love the US? [144]

Now my burning question is this...what on Gods earth have they EVER done anything good to Poland

Apart from completely bankrolling Solidarity..........

.....poland never had issues with iraqis

Americans never had issues with "iraqis" they did however have issues with some iraqis.....

We only attack to defend...remember ?

You conquered Moscow....learn "your" history mate...
the reason you in recent history havent attacked anyone(apart from divying up CZ with the nazis in 38 and then sending in troops again to CZ in '68....expat,rose tinted glasses are soooo last season :)) is because you have never had the military might to do anything but defend on the main,nothing more,nothing less.

i hope those " changes " wont make it lose its charm

would that be its quaint poverty and forced need to drive ancient cars and live in 19th century buildings in cuba?

not pi55ing on monuments, chundering in the streets and picking fights with locals like in Krakow?

guess you havent seen the Poles on a night out in the UK then? Should they all be barred from the streets here?Told to sit and drink their vodka at home.....what about all the Polish neds at the football thingy the other year in germany,glorious examples of dignity one and all,not.

Same old arguments because you have nothing else useful to accuse Poles of. I suggest you read the history of this particular event one more time because the understanding of these events seem to elude you. Throwing in the statement like “with the Nazis” shows it.

Dont be silly,German tanks rolled in from the west,at the same time Poland rolled in from the north,simple,fact ,and something I notice you are not disputing,get over it,your countries past is not perfect,big deal.

Another stupid argument on your part. Reading your posts I see you have a great pride of being a history buff or student. I haven’t quite figured out which, for if you were a student of history you should know that Britain is as much to blame for the events in CZ 68 as Poles if not more. Here’s a picture to prove it.

Dont be a moron,it was Polish warsaw pact forces marching in with the russkies,not British troops.......

The Poles are not proud of those events

So why oh why do you keep defending it then?Get over yourself.

You my friend have missed the boat all together. Take a look at the picture above you may be able to recognize at least one person there.

here we go again,blaiming a criple and a drunk for all your problems...Adults dont go around blaming everyone else...

For many of my countryman the fight continued when it was long forgotten in the west.

Long forgotten in the west???Are you crazy? Just ask Franek what "Duck and Cover" means......or ask any brit over 30 what a four minute warning was....

Many of Brits and Americans that read the statements about the Yalta conference think that Poles somehow despise them and have a tendency to take it the wrong way

Me thinks you only back track now because you have been shamed by a true hero...hows that humble pie tasting?

Franek,
For what its worth,thank you to you and all your buddies for crossing the oceans to help us ALL out, simple words on a forum can never be enough but,Thank you.

Yes but not as allies there is a difference you know.

No,of course not!Just took advantage of the czech's being somewhat busy fighting the germans...hhhmmm sounds a bit like what the russkies got upto a year later does it not?

But British policy that led to it, so the blame is equal.

lmao,1947,the czechs vote in a communist aligned government..1968 Polish troops march arm in arm with fraternal brothers(sic) red army to surpress Czech uprising....yeah mate,its all our fault :)

Yes I was. I have not back tracked, I simply pointed out what you don't understand.

Yawn,you slagged off American GI's,one shows up on here and you change your tune........

thing is how the US was always fighting communism, while most of Western Europe was, to say gently, “commie friendly”.

lmao,I'll tell that to my neighbour then who lost his leg fighting the Reds in Korea...or the guy down the road with shrapnel scars in his face from fighting the Reds in Malaysia shall I...when you say "western Europe",please be clear and say France,OK :)

News / Why does Poland love the US? [144]

there were only 3 countries the Polish political refugees could escape to: USA, Canada and Australia.

not to turn it back on us but,my ex g/fs dad came here for this reason in the 80s....

My offer of reading up on the subject matter still stands. When you are ready to discuss it your more than welcome to. Now there is no use.

I will,thanks,can you point me in the direction of some web pages please? Im afraid the only really good source in English I own is Red star White eagle by ole Norm,and thats in storage at the minute.

It wasnt meant to turn into a big issue,just pointing out to expat that it wasnt as simplistic as Poland never attacking anyone.

You young folks have a lot to learn.

And its you and your generation that can teach us,if we are prepered to listen.
I fear however that like all past generations the youth of today look at the world as though they are the first to experiance things and that they are the first geneation to "really understand", I owe a debt to my grandparents and their generation that can never be put into words,thankfully though,those few words I can express are not in German thanks to guys like you and the countless others who gave up those years of their lives that we have all taken for granted in our lives. 19,at 19 I was busy chasing girls and traveling europe,a free europe.

(thanks for the link P'.)

Genealogy / POLISH IMMIGRANT NAME-CHANGING [10]

We have a very large old PL population in this neck of the woods in Yorkshire,when I first started learning Polish and had "cracked" the pronuntiation to a reasonable level I found myself constantly having to bite my tongue from correcting 3rd generation British Poles about how they said their surnames,for a while I worked in door to door sales(dont hate me) and would ask is Mr ******saying it Polish way and get either a blank look or "no but Mr****** is(mangled and sounding all wrong :)) hoo hum :)
