ReCompensation occurs after the government royally screws over a group of people. The US government has done it countless times concerning past treaties and is busy recompensating because of it. Until human beings become perfect, it's part of the human condition.

You have to keep in mind what Poland was like before it was partitioned. After partitioning powers spread their virulent influence, Poland became mediocre, like the rest of Europe. Before it was truly outstanding given what it was surrounded by.

Bison are very important animals, culturally, to this part of the US. They used to exist in large herds in the northern part of the US, wherever there were grasslands.
They need savanna-like conditions to thrive, but with their coats they can tolerate severe winters.
I have seen bison in real life. They are much bigger than they look in photos. Our bison are endangered like the ones in Poland.
They are scarcer here than in Poland, probably, though I don't know for certain. Ours are mostly domestic cattles crosses kept in captivity, but there is hope the original species can repopulate the north american great plains one day.
Across near Białystok, right? Bison are such beautiful beasts

Yeah, true, Sean, they lose their natural habitat and cannot sustain their numbers. I think Yellowstone in Wyoming might have some now. Places in the northwest are trying to bring back bears, bison, and wolves. We have a lot of deer but that's about it. Oh, and cougars, we have those, but only in remote areas. No wolves (that I know of) and very few bears. We do have a few coyotes and foxes.
Interesting about the Asian water buffalo and African Buffalo. Around here nearly everyone calls a Bison a buffalo. It's not accurate, apparently.
Here, they sell bison meat in the grocery store but it's probably a domestic cattle hybrid version of bison. I've never tried it.
I haven't met a bison on the road.
Time to get grossed out....at a local museum, might be the Science one...there's a taxidermied bison and it has a huge head and so tall. It's the closest I've ever gotten to one.

I don't think there are any wild ones here, in my state :( If they are in the wild it's in the sparsely populated northwestern part of the state but I don't know if there's enough grass for them. The ones at the grocery store most likely come from a food lot in the northwest and they are probably a cross between the beef cattle and bison, so they are not as wild. In the wild they are protected and cannot be hunted because they are endangered.
Yeah, well there goes the rest.

I was wondering about that. The bison in the national parks aren't mixes? I was watching the news and there was a story about Bison and they said the ones in Wyoming were still mixed with domestic cattle and that's where I got the idea they were trying to make them more like the Bison that existed a few centuries back.
I don't live that close to Wyoming and I've never been to the park, just see it on the news and Discovery channels.
There isn't room here for the kinds of herds that a place like Yellowstone could manage, at least I don't think there is. I picture the bison running across the great plains and those are flat. I think of Moose as more woodsy. Didn't the bison travel across the plains in large hoods during the 1800s? Especially in North & South Dakota and into Saskatchewan?
I live further south. I wonder how many bison roamed here (where I live)? Bison is the state animal but I don't think they were ever as numerous down here. I think it's the state animal for sentimental reasons.
I see bison from time to time at the zoo and in people's small pastures and grazing on ranches. I never see any in the wild around here.
I meant this particular area when I mentioned wolves and bears. We don't have a wolf population down here. We do have some black bears, I think, but not that many, few and very far between. We have giant cougars, in the wild and on display at the zoo and I was amazed at how large they are when I saw them at the zoo. I've never been that close to one but the ones the zoo had in an exhibit of native animals were giant and I thought "those things could really get ya"
lol. I definitely don't want to be pounced on by one of those. My grandma said they prey on cattle in the woods and I wondered how they could do it because I pictured something Puma sized and then I saw some and I thought "yeah one could take down a steer".
i don't think the buffalo here is a mix. and yes, compared to their numbers 200y ago they aren't big now but herds in the yellowstone are pretty big. buffalos can live in the woods just fine. they aren't only native to the west. they used to roam the great woods of the ohio river valley in huge numbers too.

That is a huge range. No wonder the herds were so large with all that space. Thanks for posting the map, plk123. I could have googled but I didn't feel like messing with maps.
Yep, that answers my question about bison. This was a home where the buffalo roamed back in the day.
I typed Puma but I meant "Lynx". I thought they were Lynx sized. These at the zoo are mountain lions and when they are in their exhibit on their backs sleeping on the grass in the sun they look so sweet and loveable.
I thought Dances With Wolves the movie was supposed to be in North or South Dakota but I could be wrong. Were the Sioux once in Colorado? I don't know where it was filmed but I think I remember seeing a show on AP where people were reintroducing wolves to places in Colorado.
I'm pretty sure there's at least one bison nearby in a pen and I see it from time to time when I drive by it. (it stays in a pen by a small highway)

News / What did Poland get out of the wars and struggles for others? [1108]
Germany had to get it's financing from somewhere. A poor country struggling with treaty imposed fines and rapidly deflating currency cannot creat a fighting machine, can it? Don't we need money for that? Well? Where did the money come from for the wehrmacht since Germany was such a poor country that everyone had ganged up on and demanded so much money from it and on and on and on. Rubbish! I don't buy it for one minute. If Germany was so bad off would they have been able to create the wehrmacht, luftwaffe or u boats. Not likely.
If Poland had access to that kind of money, the same kind of money, I am sure they wouldn't have needed the British.
Let's look at just one example of what you claim was Poland fighting for others, WWII. In this war the Polish armed forces were running away (making what they described as a 'strategic withdrawal’ to the safety of the nearest British military base) even before war was declared.

Prince, it just shows how the National Socialists were...ruthless exploiters who wanted to cause wars on the continent for their own shameless profiteering. After doing some research on how they were financed, and by whom, it's no surprise. There was no real alliance with anyone. National Socialists would have signed some papers, then would have made Polish soldiers fight for Germany and put their lives on the line. I am sure that's what they would have done. Used Poles to fight the German wars which might have been why the proposal was made in the first place.

It happened that the dean was a 38 year old Polish woman called Bozena... ok no problem, I did not really care, just still had that bad opinion.
She finally happened to be one of the most wonderful person I have ever met.
She is extremely kind, tactful, calm, close to students, she speaks perfectly French, even better that some of us. With motivation and hard work, she managed to be the head of a university, she is also a teacher of French for foreigners.
She is the most human person I've ever known, she is highly respected for that, she is very accessible for students even if we are a lot, she listens to us, she helps us, she has sympathy and she is very smart.

History / The movie Defiance is a big lie (heroes that saved Poland suppored communism) [102]
I have to interject. This is misinformation. Yes, it's true, there are people in Hollywood who are jewish who act in films, direct and produce movies...but you have to keep in mind, there are people of all different ethnicities in Hollywood and elsewhere making movies. It's not just jews, believe me. You are trying to give everyone the impression that jews are the only ones in North America producing movies and that is a blatant lie. They do not control the minds. I don't know what year that book was published, but it's inaccurate.
Think of all the independent movie companies and movie makers. It's not just the big studios anymore.
I'll give you an example. A local college football player was recruited by the Seattle Seahawks and he made millions of dollars (cannot remember the exact dollar amount). He accidentally injured his leg playing football, the first game with the Seahawks, I think, and he could no longer play afterwards but he still had the millions of dollars from the Seahawks. So, what did he do? He went to Hollywood and started his own production company. He produced at least one movie, and starred in it too. However, he wasn't that popular and the movie (which I can't even remember the name of) he starred in and made didn't do too well at the box office so he didn't make any more movies. He wasn't jewish, just someone with a few million dollars to invest, no NFL career because of an injury, and plenty of time to devote. My point being, he isn't jewish. Anyone with the drive and the money can own a production company.
I've read some reviews for Defiance and it isn't critically acclaimed because of the inaccuracies.
"Jews have always controlled the business... The motion picture influence of the United States and Canada... is exclusively under the control, moral and financial, of the Jewish manipulators of the public mind."

The US limited media in Iraq and said it was "supporting the troops". That is why the military limits media during an operation. They do not want to demoralize the troops. Over here there's still controversy about Vietnam and freedom of the press and the impact that had. You won't see freedom of press like that during a war anymore.
No...it isn't! Even the US had journalists between their troops invading Iraq.
