History / Responsibility for Murder of Catholic Poles during WWII ? [172]

Perhaps this has been answered before in other forums here but can someone give me information on Jewish involvement with the Soviet army during WWII? Of particular interest is the invasion of Poland on Sept 17 and after. Were Jews pointing out Poles for death, etc?

Thank you (in advance)

History / Responsibility for Murder of Catholic Poles during WWII ? [172]

Well gentlemen (and ladies?) I appreciate the follow-up and indeed will attempt to verify all these "pogroms" and other actions attributed to Poles in the 1930's. This post WWI activity surprises me as my reading of Norman Davies books about Poland shows a Polish history of welcoming Jews (in general). That's why there were so many Jews in Poland in the first place.

Now, I am still interested in specific Jewish crimes against Poles following the Soviet invasion in September of '39. Anyone?

History / UPA barbarian murders on Polish and Jewish neighbors during WW2 [150]

I am of both Polish and Ukrainian descent, Christian, born in the USA, and yet, am I responsible for the many bloody wars and conflict that took place between Poland and Ukraine? Absolutely not

People who had nothing to do with the atrocities are not responsible. If Adolph Hitler had a son or daughter who was innocent of the crimes of the father then even that person could not be held accountable.

News / Poland..wake up to a multicultural world [1059]

grethomory:
I live in Chicago and you should hear the mean things many "whites" say about the Polish here.

Funny, I grew up on the south side of Chicago but have lived near north the past three decades or so and have rarely heard "the mean things..." you claim. (I'm half Polish and half Russian but have a Polish heart).

In fact, many Poles are respected here because of their economic success and dare I say their overall courtesies that they exhibit (ok, Milwaukee Ave. has some drunks but who hasn't? ...besides, many of them aren't even Polish).

Poles, Italians, Irish, etc. all exhibit good natured ribbing with each other. That may not have been true 50-60 years ago but in general it is true now as so many intermarry and have inlaws of other ethnicities. Also, people with different backgrounds work with each other and that allows for mutual understanding, besides most consider themselves Americans first.

Love / In love with polish cleaning woman, but don't speak an OUNCE of polish :( [57]

"In love with polish cleaning woman, but don't speak an OUNCE of polish"

Heh,heh,heh, there's a lot of that going around here in the states. I can't tell you how often 'the Polish help' on the female side is shown interest. Heard it dozens of times, no exaggeration.

Good one.

Of course Steve Wozniak was the 'real' inventor of the modern day computer. His partner did the sales.

according to your link the guy is american, unless san jose california is in poland.

Some of us Americans with Polish blood still consider ourselves linked to Poland. Even Martha Stewart (the first woman who became a self-made billionaire) did a cooking special devoted to her Polish heritage.

Love / Do Poles ignore domestic abuse? [54]

Abuse is wrong, no matter who does it. What is not well known is the extent of it and perpetrators are both male AND female. I posted this on another forum topic.

csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm

"This bibliography examines 247 scholarly investigations: 188 empirical studies and 59 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 240,200."

History / The movie Defiance is a big lie (heroes that saved Poland suppored communism) [102]

Polish partisans would not accept armed Jews among them and stole their weapons

Yea, the Jews had all the guns.....right?

So for the sake of survival, Jewish partisans had to go it alone and they were opposed and sometimes betrayed by AK partisans. The Soviets usually supported the Jewish partisans and for the sake of survival jews accepted that support.

Many Poles helped Jews; many could not for fear for their (own) lives. It would be interesting how many here would behave under war conditions that existed in Poland.

As to Jews accepting Soviet support, I'm afraid that this was a condition even prior to the war. What was that percentage of communist Jews again? (I understand it's a touchy subject but deal with it).

I would also add that there were some Jews who considered themselves Polish as well.

Life / MEN'S DAY and FEMALE CHAUVINIST SWINE? Situation in Poland. [46]

you get breakfast, dinner, laundry, cleaning, ironing, sex, babysitting and so many more things.

I've been divorced for 24 years and do all that stuff and more by myself. No big deal. Well, maybe not the babysitting and the sex :)

women didn't set up this holiday for themselves, and by the looks of it it is inly popular and known in Poland anyway.

Not true; American feminists use this day to write negative articles about men while at the same time attempting to show how oppressed women are.

Meanwhile the feminazis, as some call them, have taken to the streets of Poland as reported by PAP, chanting their typical leftie claptrap

Heh,heh,heh, yep, it would seem that 'womyn' have some kind of 'complaining gene' that science has yet to find. What else would explain their constant harping....?

Life / MEN'S DAY and FEMALE CHAUVINIST SWINE? Situation in Poland. [46]

in Poland usually gets the children, unlike in the US they give men an equal share which is not good because many men don't know how to care for a baby and they can't nurse.

Is that why only 11 percent of the men in the U.S. get the kids? Everyone knows (even feminazis) that the courts discriminate against males. That's why there is a mini marriage strike by men against spoiled American women. That's why men are marrying foreign women who have not yet been contaminated by the 'PC' virus.

As to carring for kids, American women do a poor job. Boys growing up in single female run households go to jail at a rate 8 times higher than those growing up in a two parent family household. For girls it's not much better. So much for giving the kids to women.

Happy Women's day, to all of you. I say this from the bottom of my heart.

Don't be such a mangina. (you're probably an allright guy).

well hes much better then you are at the moment..

Ah, but to know me is to love me.........

its because only 11 percent qualify and actually participate in their childs lives
the other 89 percent dont want to help pay for the child because they are
so wrapped up in making the mother miserable they forget whos more important..

Hmmm, seems like you have some specific personal issues when it comes to the 'mother thing'. As to why men don't get custody when they want it, it's because the courts discriminate against men. Women have to do something provably wrong like drugs or threats to lose custody. When both men and women are equally competent to take care of the kids the women get them based on gender. Most men don't even try although they'd like to.

At this time Russian women created a sensual revolt of their own.

Sensual ? ("arousing or preoccupied with gratification of the senses, carnal; indulgence of physical appetites") Did Lenin know about this?

11 percent of moms who are prob idiots.. while the other 89 percent are out
working their arse off because the deadbeat fathers wont help pay due to
personal issues they have with the mom or that their just plain deadbeat fathers.

Spoken like a true female chauvinist. The "other 89 percent" aren't all peaches and cream either but then again no one expects womyn to be objective. They are too spoiled for that.

As to "deadbeat fathers" are you aware that a higher percentage of men pay child support than women who don't have custody? I'm sure you'll make some female excuse for that as well.

you called Filios a mangina.. given the fact that you dissed your own in a mens day
thread..thats ok

I'm an equal opportunity disser. I call 'em as I see them (and yes, I'm one of those guys who actually researches facts not opinions). ...and it's obvious my comment was made in jest.

if anyone wants to join him and become exempt your more then welcome

Exempt from what? Exempt from "political correctness"?

you
must show appreaciation of women and the wonderful things we do

I mostly point out American women and their hypocrisies and there are so many. After years of male-bashing of the most sordid and mean sort it constantly amazes me when women take umbrage at the slighest negative comment said about them. Clear thinking women know and understand this.

Yes. I have a deep appreciation for women. I especially appreciate what they do for me

As long as you don't appreciate what they do to you.

Try it out sometime, Zimmy, it can be very nice.

As long as you are not a 'yes' man with women that's fine. Too many men cater to women's frequent wants.

Now, once again, I am particularly harsh on American women who are spoiled 'princesses'. A broken nail ruins their whole day (or week). These women watch Oprah and other tv shows all day (advertisers have the numbers), sit on their vast posteriors and when hubby comes home from work and wants a beer and peace and quiet these lazy fat butts give him a hard time. (It's that 'complaining' gene women have).

Well, that's just one example.

Life / MEN'S DAY and FEMALE CHAUVINIST SWINE? Situation in Poland. [46]

I am sure this could go on and on.. so if your so equal, how come you dont see the
women side?

Since Betty Friedan's book in 1963 there have been thousands of books from whining women about this and that. Many more newspaper and magazine articles as well. There are agenda driven women's groups which are so bias yet taken seriously by women (like you?). The women's side? ....that's all we've heard.

As to your emotional rant about "how many women ...." you probably would be surprised to learn (that) what you have been indoctrinated with these past 45 years is false. For instance, as many women initiate violence against their spouses as men do. This seems counter intuitive to you because you've grown up with a one-sided feminist ideology which constantly bashes men.

I recommend the book "Who Stole Feminism?" by Christina Hoff Sommers. She deconstructs the misandry that is so prevalent with western women. She also shows example after example of serious feminist hyporcrisy. Too many women fear such an epiphany.

Love / Just met the man of my dreams. I'm an American girl, he's Polish. [49]

I am wondering if there is any thing I can do to impress him, "knock his socks off" so to speak. ..... What could a girl do to blow your doors off?

Invite him to your place and make him a Polish home cooked meal. The quickest way to a man's socks are thru his stomach.

I had already bought her a shrub a couple of days before. I told her it would have loads of flowers on it in the summer. Then I bought her a second hand Scalextric set (with a few bits of track missing). Who said romance is dead?

Next year buy her a mop and a bucket :)

YOU drew first blood mr I dont start clubs that bash women.
apparently your the president

Well, I'm not in a club but I've noticed that women can dish it out but can't take it.
As you know, women take comments much more personally than men (now, don't deny it).

no wonder you have been divorced for 24 years.

Yep, no female complaining about this or that; no female going into her (crazy) moods; no female demanding this and that; having time to myself, not worrying about divorce and having to give up half my money, etc. Yea, it's been a damn good 24 years.....besides, now I get variety but I won't get into that now.

Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]

I bet you wouldn't object if two beautiful lesbians asked you back to their place to watch? Such double standards exist where men are concerned!

Interesting that they have to be "beautiful" isn't it? No one can stomach watching two fat dykes (if you excuse my expression) going at it. Having said that, what does it matter if some people are gay? That's up to them.

The only issue is this; don't push some favored status agenda on people/government.

Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]

we're talking about the capitalist system which is based on selfishness and greed

Wealth is not inherently wrong. I've never been hired by someone poorer than me. Have you?

Capitalism made the U.S. great because it promoted individualism, not "Animal Farm" socialism where bureaucrats know better than you and then tell you how to lead your life.

As to claiming that capitalism lets others "go hungry", it's amazing that most of the world's hungry come from places that promote authoritarian rule and/or socialism.......isn't it? The poor in the U.S. have tv's and sometimes automobiles. That's middle class in most of the world.

Let's hope it's a good movie and not like the one staring Tony Kurtis and Yul Brynner.
