UK, Ireland / Why so many British can't spell ? [83]

Funny that,how differntly dyslexia can effect people? I had a freakily advanced reading age as a kid,at 7 I was tested in school and came back with a reading age of 14...I think they spotted something wrong when they saw me reading Lord of the Rings but still spelling like a 5year old :)

History / What Happened in the Danzig Corridor 1939? Poles Slaughtering Germans? [133]

Isthatu, stop with the 'gas chambers'!...

NO.

to kill six million jews

Your figure,not mine,best estimates ar between 5.2 and 5.4 million

in industrial gas chambers and then take the bodies to be cremated in ovens

It is nowhere claimed that all the victims were killed in Gas Chambers,possibly les than half died this way,the rest either were shot in mass executions by Einzatzgruppe or died of various diseases /malnourishment while confined in inhuman conditions in ghettos or worked to death in industry.

many Poles were in these camps also...were they sent to gas chambers and then burned in ovens?...

Yes....short answer..longer answer..many Poles were just shot as,in all there were less of them/they were not quite as offensive to nazi racial purity laws..but very nearly.

why no Polish tales of 'killing us in gas chambers'?

because the dead dont generally tell tales do they joe...unless you know something the rest of us dont...

UK, Ireland / My Views Of Poles Working in the UK [169]

Its a shame,a lot of what the op is saying is plain commen sense.I say shame because he is wittingly or unwittingly making himself a bed fellow of all the idiots that come on here like no immi that just seem to mouth off for the sake of mouthing off(hypocrasy alert;) ).

Can we reverse things a little and say that all the British people who went to Germany in the 80s were just there to milk the DM cash cow? Or what about the fact of all the British people that retired to France,never having lived or worked there and then came up in arms over the fact they dont qualify for all the freebies they used too.

I see two choises,neither of them good or realistic,either close all borders,ethnically cleanse and deport in an Idi amin stylee or open all the borders and have a true United states of Europe.....the only other alternative is to jump in a nice time machine where cricket is played on the village greeen and Britannia ruled the waves....

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]

Anyone who moans about english women is just a sad f**k who cant keep up with them,whats wrong with a strong woman who doesnt feel she has to tart herself up all the time or act all girlie round men,thats so 1970s......

Every nation has its total munters and every nation has its beauties....all this,"Im looking for a Polish woman.." frankly just reminds me of the sad t**ts who go looking for Thai birds or mail order russian brides thinking they are going to get a "propar woman who knows who to treat a man.."....

UK, Ireland / My Views Of Poles Working in the UK [169]

Nice one isthatu2

Bizzarly I agree with you far more often than you may think B...but please,its Northern Monkey :)

I once, as a joke, said to a man in a Polish pub I was Jewish, not only was he indignant, he threatened to shoot me. A wonderful example of Polish multi-culturalism. I hope Poland practices what it preaches when the Indian and Chinese workers go there to build the new stadiums. Time will tell.

Thing is commensense,give some credit to people,are you telling me you wouldnt get the same reaction in certain british hostilries if you said you were gay or muslim?

As to indian and chinese...dont know about them but there are plenty of Ukranians and others in PL already,do you see endless bi**hing and moaning in the Polish press about them as you do over here? Be honest now,if you didnt read the daily hate every daywould you really be that affected by Polish people? You say 25% of your town is now eastern european...OK,that seems,well,frankly BS,where do they all live? if there were 25% of the housing in your town empty prior to 2004 why on earth has there been a housing shortage in the UK for about a decade now?

History / Ancient Polish History thread [180]

Same as Dragon tradition, Racowie (Husar/Gusar) martial concept was spread accross the Europe

Your right there crow,Britains "modern"cavalry (ie,when mounted cavalry was still being used) owes almost all its uniform and many of its traditions in one way or another to those ancient Slavic horsemen. When our forces met the Polish and "Polish" cavalry of Napoleon in battle they met their inspiration. Soon after our Lancers became the main stay of the cavalry and even adopted the four pointed flat topped helmet. The Red and White pennent is also ,to this day,to be seen near the tips of the Lances carried byt the cavalry guarding the Queen.

Life / What do Polish people think of burning the national flags? [58]

szarlotka:
On topic - burning flags contributes to global warming. Please recycle them in future

the proper way to dispose of a US flag is to burn it actually. not kidding either.

He's right you know,all federal flags(thats them there star spangly ones) come with a little gift set of accessories,you know that golden ball thingy on the top of the flag pole,traditionaly it contains a razor blade,for cutting the flag loose,a match,for setting fire to the flag and a bullet,so the flag burner can shot themself with honour.......all so ua nasty Red Coats couldnt get our grubby anglo saxon hands on Mrs W's tablecloth...

UK, Ireland / How to avoid bad tension in workplace Pole in UK/Ireland [18]

Ok,first things first;
You spend your lunch break with your head buried in a "thick book",right,that points you out,true or not,as someone who doesnt want to make any effort getting along with your co workers.

Fast talking/slang....comeon mate,your in NI,they all talk like that :)
Last but not least,are you sure your working in the right part of town? Im always amazed by the stories of ignorence concerning Poles that moved to NI...how many turned up in areas with orange kerbs and then moaned that they were not made welcome etc etc....

History / An Example of Falsifying Historical Facts and Degrading Poland [46]

Have you seen Poles whining around 'oh, we are such victims, we suffered most'?

Not been here that long yet then ? ;)

IronsE11:
of David Irving. He is viewed as a joke

If he is a joke,why is he in prison?

Er,he's not in prison,he's busy flogging his books at far right conventions and tank festivals in the south of england(see Panorama documentry "weekend nazis".)

The man is a joke,his old books,which he gives away as e books via his website,are chock full of admissions that the holocaust took place,full of his research that demonstrates he knows fine well that the holocaust took place pretty much as we understand it today....only these days he's all about denial and selling cheap home printed books on stalls that also sell adolf hitler coffee mugs and translated pamphlets of julies striecher speaches...

History / Comment on YouTube regarding Powstanie Warszawskie [32]

Therefore, to say that without the Red Army’s help the Germans wouldn't be out of Poland in 1944 is a little patronising.

Yes,but as factual as any hindsight veiw of history can be,come on,do you really expect anyone with a serious interest in this era to believe that the Home Army could have defeated the germans in '44?

Youve obviously got your agenda,not sure what it is,but it runs contrary to logic and military facts,a **** poorly equiped resistance army has NEVER liberated a country on its own,never,no matter how brave or spirited they may be its just an imposibility without outside help,and before you ***** about the UK again just remember where the vast majority of arms and supplies for the AK came from.

er,not sure what your point is Carol? Everyone knows the reds stood by and let Warsaw be torn limb from limb,and that the Home Army put up THE MOST HEROIC resistence against the nazis in wartime europe.This doesnt change the fact that the people who destroyed the nazis in eastern and centrel europe were the soviets,not any underground forces. It was the Red Army(with Polish LWP forces) who stormed into berlin and ended the war,not the ,by then disbanded,AK.

History / Comment on YouTube regarding Powstanie Warszawskie [32]

I guess if Stalin didn't start killing in the east in 1939

It was war,sh it happens.

then our trip to Siberia

sorry,didnt know you had been to siberia...

What was left of human beings when the Home Army was formed kicked butt.

er,yes,but "kicking butt" is a far cry from defeating a vastly supperior army isnt it. The 4000 US deaths in Iraq demonstrate that the Iraqi "insurgents" can "kick butt" but it doesnt mean they are anywhere near driving the coalition forces out of Iraq does it?

IMO Poland's fight from beginning to end was heroic when we look at what they were up against.

Of course it was,you wont get any arguments from me on that point,but not the point that is being debated is it?
BTW,Carol,have you ever met any former AK fighters? Just wondering,because I have met quite a few and will happily admit I am not even a pimple on their heroic bottoms ,but,having studied the AK at some length I will still admit,as will AK veterens that ,alone,they never stood any chance of defeating or driving out the germans on their own. The entire premise for operation tempest(the move from sabotage to open warfare) was to rise up once the superior forces of the Red Army were on Polish soil soil and doing the main part of actual war fighting against the german front lines.

Yes,the russian guy being quoted is talking from his bum/fanny but that is no reason for his opponents to do the same,no matter how righteous they feel.
