What do young Poles see in rap crap?

I don't know but I hope there will be a cure for this in our time.

In Poland it seems to be that the system is: nothing is possible and it works for only a few people.


Ha ha. I'll never forget what the bureaucrat told me when I wanted to get a copy of my parents birth certificate in order to renew my passport. He asked me why do I need their birth certificate, I said to get my passport in order, then he repeated, why do I need their birth certificate, then I said you got to be fu*king kidding me. We went back and forth until he finally got tired of asking the same question and realized I wouldn't leave till I got it, and finally got off his throne and did his job.


There are methods where you can wear out the system by being a giant pain in the ass. However you need peasant resolve and a whole lot of patience.

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


The OUN-UPA, chauvinist Ukrainians.


I know a Jewish Holocaust survivor who was 17 when the war broke out, he told me that he was part of the first generation of Jews living in Poland that actually had to learn Polish, his parents didn't speak it, they either spoke Yiddish, German and a little bit of Hebrew, the dominate languages in Jewish areas. The same went for his ancestors.

Both mostly they spoke Yiddish.

No crime here.


No I'm not mother Theresa, and no I would not want to claim a castle if I had the chance, being in construction I know what it takes to maintain a mansion and large estate, try and imagine maintaining a castle, no thanks.

My family had property, but they were peasants and their holding were modest to say the least, a typical farm plot in a village. They were a lot more free than people living in urban areas, communism didn't really effect the villagers, probably because they were villagers and had nothing worth taking to begin with, expect a pain in the ass livelihood. Who wants that? The property my family has was honestly earned, so we don't have the problems that the descendants of the 'better half' have.

You'd have to ask the question as to why those Germans left the Czech Republic only with what they could carry? Exactly what and who were they running from? To answer that question quickly puts things into clearer perspective.


Who moved those borders? re: Yalta Conference.


Bingo.


Which you more than likely will never get back.


Of course he didn't, just wait till you start talking about how you're going to pay for his services, you'll notice he'll start to become more dismissive.


Walka z wiatrakami. I once remodeled a bathroom for a Holocaust survivor whose father owned a great deal of land, buildings, homes and factories in Belchatow. He asked for me and my father's help to get him restitution for what his family lost and to no avail. All of his fathers property exchanged hands from the Soviets to the Polish Communist government and to an alphabets worth of workers cooperatives before it was sold off to private hands after the 'fall of communism'. Just where exactly do you think that restitution money is going to come from? Why should people who legitimately and honestly purchased these properties have to pay for crimes not committed by them? Why should the Polish people, pay who were basically occupied and oppressed by the Communists and Soviets and had little to no influence over their activities and actions? Most of the people responsible for this situation are either dead or about to die, and the organizations that allowed them to do what they did gone. That's what came up in his court cases, and that's why he lost.

History / Territories of eastern Germany should rightfully belong to Poland? [161]


Let me rephrase the question since you didn't answer it. How will the Polish state expand from the Baltic to the Balkans? Just keep in mind that I believe Poles don't even have a state, not one that serves their greater good or interests for that matter.


Who are 'they'?


What might? Most of that might is backed by the overwhelming power of 'American Sunshine' and the 'Po Boys and Gals' of America's countryside, small towns and urban slums.


A Slav should no better than to ask that question since he knows the Slav makes for a poor slave. When the master commands 'go and work', the Slav replies 'right away sir' and goes right back to his card game.


I know exactly why; discarding our obligations for the shallowness of having none (material cosmopolitanism?), embracing the culture of death and nihilism or near nihilism (neo-hedonism?) and having no reservations with it at all.


Slavs who are Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant.


Hasn't happened, isn't happening, won't happen.


If you mean my generation, 18-25 year old's, then this generation has already failed, which places the children of this generation in an even more dire situation, but I believe that to be a very good thing, hard times breed hard asses.


Pan-Slavism?


You can only save that which is in your hands not that which is out of them, that means dealing with the cards you've been dealt. Case in point, Kosovo.


Don't worry, us Poles will find a way to ruin even this, they always do.

History / Territories of eastern Germany should rightfully belong to Poland? [161]

Should the territories of Eastern Germany belong to Poland? No.



I guess you mean the German states of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Sachsen and Berlin, where would one even begin to justify such a wild and radical claim? Especially for Bavaria? These were once Slavic lands (not Bavaria), emphasis on the word were, they are not anymore. The only native Slavs remaining there today are the Sorbs but so what? They've been given some degree of autonomy, no matter how token it happens to be. They are still a very small minority in Germany.


I've always considered Germany a creation of Bismark, and Bismark a creation of Prussia. If it is for the assimilation of Slavs, then the Deutschlanders are doing a pretty bad job. Whilst they look at us Slavs, which I doubt they are doing or care to even do, they should be looking at the Mohammedians, a much more serious threat to Germany than us Slavs ever where or would care to be. Three years ago the Germany's federal statistics office itself claimed that by 2050 Germany would be more Arab than German, more Mohammedian than whatever the hell it is now. They also claimed it was irreversible.


Germans don't owe us anything other than the liberty we deserve to take care of ours and our own on our own, which is respecting our sovereignty, or whatever sovereignty us Poles have left. I am curious as to what you believe would be the maximum Germany would owe Poland?


And I'd seriously doubt that they'd want to break away from the German Federation and join Poland. In my experience East Germans, and oddly enough Bavarians (Catholics for Christ's sake), have a very low opinion of us Poles, I'd seriously doubt they'd want in.


If you're talking Europe, it changes rapidly in favor of the Mohammedian.


How?


Sarmatyzm, one day it will stop, at least I'm hoping. So you're for the other 'R', restoration, and for 'Sarmatia Europea', which seems to me the same as Piłsudski's 'Międzymorze', which would in my opinion bring out the exact same results.

News / Are there any active Mafias in Poland? [27]


My experience with the 'Polish mafia' in the United States: some 'former Polish communist government losers' in New York sent a bunch of 'Polish gangsters' to the south to muscle Polish owned and operated construction companies into a racket. Said owners and employees scared said 'Polish gangsters' with the FBI; every other city inspector either has a brother or cousin in the FBI, Police or Marines more than willing to 'help'. Said 'losers' in New York got scared, abandoned said 'gangsters' in the very city they sent them to, said 'gangsters' received money from the very owners and employees they were supposed to swindle, so that they could buy food and a bus ticket back to New York.


No. Just a bunch of disorganized and self-interested criminal groups and gangs who have tricked out cars but barely enough gas in them to get them down the street.

News / Kaliningrad. Problem, Threat or Opportunity for Poland? [185]


I think it's a territory definitely in political-economic limbo, but nothing near Transdnestr.


That they should change it. Definitely the Russian version of whatever Królewiec and Konigsberg translate into, 'king city'. Wouldn't that be Czarograd?


I don't see it anywhere near a threat, but I do see it as an opportunity squandered. I read that some Kaliningradians wanted to turn it into the 'Baltic Hong Kong', I have serious doubts about that, but to improve the situation means adopting a liberal policy in travel, commerce and borders; I haven't seen Moscow or Warsaw supporting such a thing in the past, present and that should say something about the future.


I'd have to ask the same.


That too.

News / Are there any active Mafias in Poland? [27]

I'd have to say that there is no such thing as a 'Polish mafia', if you mean a mafia in the mold of Casa Nostra, Cammora, Vory z Zakone or the Jewish mafia, then no, the closest thing in Poland to those criminal organizations would have to be the government in Poland.

Love / I'm pregnant by my Polish boyfriend but he wants me to abort it! [132]


What country are you from?


Obviously, perhaps he wants to cop out of his responsibilities, and the possibility of paying child support. Just remember you have more than one alternative.


I don't give single mothers flack, for the mere fact that they decided to raise their child instead of killing it for convenience sake. If you do not like any of those ideas, then consider adoption as many here have advised.


Wouldn't we all, but seeing that your child's father is no where near one...


Child support? I don't know what the status would be of out of wedlock children, so if I were you I'd start finding out. Plus, tell your family, silence won't help, and while your at it, tell his family if at all possible. You don't want to make this decision on your own, at least lighten some of the load of your shoulders by telling them. Like pgtx said, they might be more supportive than you think.


Lets take a wild guess as to why.


Don't worry, time will force you to make a decision. Raising a child will be hard, the fact that your life ends when your child's begins, since you will spend the rest of your life watching your child's, isn't exactly an exciting thought. I always assumed killing an unborn child merely for being an unborn child was harder, not to mention cruel and barbaric. But, different strokes.


It took two to tango, you share half of the responsibility for this situation since you were there when it happened, your half just so happens to be heavier than his, he chickened out, hopefully you won't do the same your kid, then you'd be no better than him.


I know two girls that got pregnant when they were 18, both abandoned by their "men", both went to their parents and where told the same thing, 'abort and you're disowned'. Adoption was an option they didn't want to take. Both still live with their folks, one works, one goes to school, both have a son.


Either fess up to your responsibilities (grow up) and raise the child on your own, hopefully with the support of your family and child support, or enter the adoption process, as early as possible. As for killing the kid, that is no alternative.


Automatically it will be a miserable life for her and her child; obviously God wrote this.


"Abort (kill) it (the unborn child) while it's not a human being (then what is it?) yet". If your answer is that the child is a fetus, you'd be correct, if you said it wasn't human you'd be wrong.


"Wrong." -John Matrix-

Przepraszam wildrover. I honestly don't know why your name popped up, I quoted 1 jola, or so I thought. If anything, I owe you a beer.


Wow!


I guess I should of said, 'affiliates' instead of 'one long arm of the KGB'.


No, murdering priests and students isn't soft, but low and cowardly for me. The degree and extent to where actions such as those where carried out decreased tremendously compared to the period prior to the mid 70's and on into the 80's, so yeah they became rather soft, which is why I said they relied more on black mail, bargaining and bribes than torture and murder, less effective. After Popiełuszko's murder, no esbek would dare even mention where he worked, one of the reasons they became 'unimportant', because people where disgusted with them more than they were afraid of them. Compared to their 'glory days', yeah, they went very 'soft' and 'unimportant' when the threat of death and even the carrying of it out didn't bring the desired results.

History / Was there a polish Stasi? [13]


That means there's room to learn.


I honestly think there is no equivalent to speak of since those organizations where in one way or another dependent or subservient to the Soviets, it was really just one long arm of the KGB. But since your asking of the Polish 'arm', like Ewcinka pointed out, it's the Służba Bezpieczęństwa, or SB for short, it's predecessor was the UB or Urząd Bezpieczęństwa, much worse than the SB since it was filled to the brim with hardcore Stalinists.


That depends on the time period, toward the mid 70's early 80's I would have to say that they turned soft and of no importance once they knew that the vast majority of Poles stopped fearing them and they started fearing the vast majority of Poles. They black mailed, bargained and bribed more than they tortured during that period, more effective and less laborious.

Thank you for proving my point.


I never said never forgive.


I never said you owe us, 'no man can resurrect the dead' after all.


The war lasted longer than 4 weeks, and you forgot to mention the Slovaks and Soviets helped in the walking over, but all in all, it still ended in a German defeat, nothing changes that.


More German humility, Well, sorry to disappoint :( , I mean after all this coming from a people who started two World Wars and couldn't finish either one of them. Patalogia chlopie.


You must mean Cieszyn.

History / Roman Dmowski- Polish Adolf Hitler? [219]


Don't be to concerned with what I have, after all, you have Wikipedia.


Yeah, I know what happened afterward, the Germans started a war, and at the cost of millions of innocent lives Dzughasvilli gave us Sląsk back, Gdansk, Kolobrzeg, Szczecin etc.


I don't know any Pole who whines about World War II, the conclusion was pretty straight forward, ya'll lost. Most of the whining I do hear comes from Germans, very sore losers.


Yeah, but his love didn't lead to mass murder.


Because most if not all of that 'not much material' is written in Polish, and outside of a Polish audience, honestly who cares, besides well, you of course.

Happy Easter!

To be very honest with all of you, without Dmowski and his delegation at Versaille, things would've turned out very differently for Poland, and I don't mean for the better, and I have to agree, one of the few great Poles of the 20th century. He only appears antisemitic because he loved his country.

Polish people call themselves Polacy, Polaków in the plural. If its in the singular, and your a guy you say 'Polak', if your a woman you say, 'Polka'. But since there's more English people on this forum than Poles, I guess you mean the English version. In that case, plural 'Poles' or the 'Polish', singular a 'Pole'. Hope that helps.

Genealogy / Narodowiec last name [3]

Narodowiec means 'nationalist' or 'native', but I've never come across anybody with that name. To be honest, a lot of Jewish families changed their Jewish and Yiddish sounding surnames and adopted 'Polish sounding' surnames. This sounds like an example of that, and if that is the case, chances are you won't find much on that side. You might, but probably under another surname.
