News / Dealing with constant insults against Polish [323]

Thats impossible. How exactly did the US get supplies to Russia? They had to be shipped from US to Uk, then on by the British navy to Archangel.

It is physically impossible for the amount of supplies you claim to have been shipped, Britain barely get enough through to supply its army one tenth the size of Russia's. Britain did supply as much as it could but the figures were tiny compaired to the USSR's needs.

Travel / Hotel in krakow for a romantic weekend? [7]

Amadeus Hotel is good, but was booked when I went. As was Copernicus
I stay here if I could.

cracow-life/sleep/hotels_details/12-Hotel_Copernicus

The hotel I stayed in was Hotel Francuski

Was not bad. Its seems much cheaper than when I went, which turned out to the busiest day of the year. At the price theya re charging 42euro a night, its worth it.

Trucks, yes. Boots yes, Locomotives, yes.

But for the other stuff, what %age of the total Soviet needs/production? Did it make teh difference between winning or loosing, or were the 20Million Russia dead a better contribution.?

WW2 cost Britain £300Billion, $1200billion in 1945 money.

Your 50 => 700Bn calculation is wrong. Its more like $250Bn. Britain paid for it BTW, it wasn't a gift.

News / Dealing with constant insults against Polish [323]

Because of this there wouldn't have been a second front in the west and Germany would have sent it's full strength to defeat Russia. Like I said before, Poland defeated Russia in 1920.

The Axis powers had 90% of their strength against the Soviet Union. By the time the Allies invaded in 1944 the Axis were in full retreat. Do you think having an extra 10% would have allowed Germany to defeat the Soviet Union? Seems highly unlikely.

Yes, Poland defeated the Russians in 1920. However the army's were ten times bigger in 1943.

Love / Discussion about Polish Men's Tempers [103]

Weed makes some people violent.

Don't do it.

Having said that, my dad had a very bad temper. Never violent though.

Study / Comparing Educational Standards in Poland vs other countries [88]

I agree with Matyjasz.

There is also the language problem when choosing a university in a non-English speaking country.

Agreed getting taught English at the same time as getting your degree is a definite advantage. In Sweden ALL teaching is in English from an early age.

News / Dealing with constant insults against Polish [323]

Never heard about adjusting of locomotives' wheels on e.g. Polish-Russian border ?

Which was in German hand for most of the war against Russia. I can't see the American's building a railway to a different guage in German occupied Poland/Russia so they could supply Russia.

How do you know that they wouldn't accept Germany's reign in Europe?

I think they probably would have, the effort required would have been huge and if Hitler removed the communists they would have been very pleased. Remember that removing Fascism wasn't the prime purpose of the allies efforts - look how Spain was left under the control of Franco. President Bush's grandfather was convicted of helping the Nazi's war effort, so working with the Nazi's would not have been beyond reason.

News / The Impact of Poland joining the EU [64]

But horsecarts are not allowed anymore ! Example of how EU and standards also make world duller place. Maybe that's price for progress.

Thats a joke isn't it?

They aren't even banned in central London. Not very common anymore after the Young's Brewery stopped using them a couple of years back.

Genealogy / When did Poles adopt surnames? [27]

I find that odd. The first Census in Austrian Empire - southern Poland had all the surnames listed for each family. That was 1797.

Love / Illegal Polish girl wants me to marry her for citizenship [124]

Hey buddy you can not make it ANYWHERE like in the US, here is the real deal. America is by conception a nation of immigrants. Here does not matter where you come from or the color of skin, what matters is if you have what it takes to be a winner.

Whatever the propaganda Americans like to tell themselves, the 'American Dream' vanished decades ago. Statistics show that American have poor social mobility and its getting worse. Getting rich in the USA is harder than other countries. Poor people are getting poorer and the super rich massively richer. Being poor in American is worse than any other western country, in every measure of health, well being, education, infant mortality the USA comes bottom of the league. Just one measure, for instance, shows the healthiest American's age 50+ are unhealthier than the poorest, unhealthiest Britons. The Education system, the best aid in social and economic mobility, is designed to suppress the poor by being cripplingly expensive.

Even the minimum wage is the US is half the UK and Ireland's for instance, I'm not saying its ideal but the fact is that is what immigrants are going to get paid.

I could go on, about how US jobs are being shipped abroard to remove an entire class for any sort of future, for instance, but I won't. Unless you are from a very poor third world country (Poland and E.Europe is Second World, BTW) then USA is not the land of opportunity at all.

UK, Ireland / Polish girls 'too pretty' for British schools [150]

I love my Polish girlfriend but thinking that Polish women are amazingly pretty is delusional. Polish women are fine specimens but they are no where near the most beautiful in the world. They tend more to the girl next door beauty, certainly someone to love and marry but not models.

From a Polish mans perspective things maybe different, the idea of the perfect women is set by your own culture - so Polish women are perfect for Polish men but other nations will have their own rules to judge beauty.

As for fashion, Polish fashion sucks. Its tat. Well, from the crowds I saw in Krakow.

News / Polish Campaign: "I protect my life against cervical cancer" [5]

There are many different types and most do most cause cancer. How rare it is is show that even promiscuous Gay men are being vaccinated as its unlikely they would already been infected. That post implies that half the adults will die within five years, which is scaremongering as you also need the genetic disposition and the statistics don't add up.

Having said that, I fully support that this should be on the UK NHS. I looked at the cost and it was 700 GBP.

Polonia / How do Poles perceive at SAUDIS people from Saudi Arabia? [24]

Adolf Hitler was born in Austria then later moved to Germany and its also clear what he did(trying to conquer the world). no one can blame the country, its the person who should be blamed.

Hmm, I think he a significant amount of support, even if he never got a democratic majority.

He was elected though. Democracy is good, eh?
