News / HUMANE TREATMENT FOR CHRISTMAS CARP in POLAND [55]

Yes crabs are rather nasty, and I have never tasted lobster...My mother loves both, but I never had the urge.

A carp is a carp, it doesn't have sensitivity.

You know, the Russians and the Japaneses have these huge fishing ships, fish factories, where they catch fish by the tens of thousands, and gut them and process them on the ship, and freeze them...All types of fish...Then, these fish are marketed, at least here in the US, as 'crab legs' and this and that.

Chicken 'farming' in the US is also bad.

News / HUMANE TREATMENT FOR CHRISTMAS CARP in POLAND [55]

HUMAN TREATMENT OF POLISH CARP

Now let's look at this topic...

Me, I really don't care for fish, except White Solid Albacore tuna, which I love, in a tuna salad.

Fish have feelings?...You remember Kurt Cobain of 'Nirvana'?...He say:

'It's OK to eat fish,
'cause fish don't have
no feelings...'

Do I like to see fish crowed into a filthy tank, one on top of another?...No...So don't eat the fish...Most of what you eat, if you saw it processed, you would stop eating altogether.

History / What if scenario´s for WW2 and Poland [112]

Hardly suddenly. His rise to power took several years, a jail sentence and two general elections.

Yes, you are correct, the process of 'trance-formation' took awhile, but 10 years can be the blink of an eye.

History / What if scenario´s for WW2 and Poland [112]

It's hard to explain what happened otherwise..

Well, you see, this man, really an artist at heart, vegetarian and aesthetic, he got involved in politics, the ultimate corruption...SUDDENLY, he is 'the Furher', having power over life and death, a 'man of destiny', all this, and also a military commander, the supreme commander...Please, this is too much for 99% of mortal men.

Now you also know, and I will be smeared for making this statement, he had a doctor, Jewish, who was shooting him with various drugs, and I suspect that among them were methedrine and various synthetic morphines, and who knows what else...The Germans are probably the world's leading chemists, to this day.

Whereas Stalin had the cunning of a fox, and the instincts of a jackal, Hitler had an intellect and a vision....You may certainly question his vision, but he was a thinker, probably too much so.

History / What if scenario´s for WW2 and Poland [112]

See, one must have many, many questions about Hitler...Certainly Otto Strasser did, and Hitler went after him through the war years, but not catching him...But, Hitler killed his brother Gregor, who was a loyal servant of Hitler...The Strassers were from Bavaria, and Otto was a true hero and an officer in the German army during WWI...Otto claims that during the Munich uprising in, what 1919, when the Communists attempted to take over Bavaria, Hitler was nowhere to be seen, yet proclaimed his 'eternal opposition to Bolshevism'...Strasser himself led a coalition of German soldier and officers from WWI, and they defeated the Bolsheviks...According to Strasser, AFTER THIS, Hitler pop up on the scene, with some money.

Me, I can't understand how any sane German leader could think he would take over Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia etc. and RULE these nations for any length of time...This defies logic...As did Hitler's defiance of his own General's advice on many matters.

When 'Barbarossa' failed to gain victory in 1941, the jig up...Was this whole plan just a 'plan for failure'?...Was it bad luck?...Was there more to it?

Many questions...You got to wonder.

I will say this: I think Hitler was quite a good painter, contrary to what 'opinion' says...Quite good...He should have stayed with it, IMHO, he was an artist at heart.

History / What if scenario´s for WW2 and Poland [112]

So what is the conclusion here?...Pilsudski mad a treaty with Hitler, and Hitler greatly respected him...

As far as Hitler's views on the Polish or plans for them, I have seen no compelling documentation...In 'Mein Kampf', from the excepts I have read, Hitler makes certain statements about Slavs being incapable of self-governance...But, there is testimony that 'Mein Kampf' was ghost written.

Other German National Socialists, such as Otto Strasser, there from the founding of the party, opposed any 'racial purity' ideas, and sought a type of socialism in Germany that would make it independent and productive, and free from domination from the Prussian 'junker' types, huge industrialists and militarists.

There were problems with the Germans over the Danzig corridor, and certain German anger over German lands that became part of Poland after WWI...Yet, it was Pilsudski who prevented the Red Army from rolling into Germany in 1920.

So what was the German plan for Poland?...Communist plan we know: Make Poland a satellite, impose usual tyranny...We know that Hitler considered the Jews in Poland a big problem, but what was the plan for the Poles?...We clearly see that Hitler and Stalin agreed to carve up Poland...Both saw Poland a a type of 'buffer', but this strategy was completely flawed, as it actually put both systems 'eyeball-to-eyeball'.

Question not answered as far as I can see...We know the carnage that occurred, yes, but WAS THERE ANY ACTUAL STRATEGY OR LONG RANGE PLAN?...Was Poland to be an inferior 'Eastern principality' of the Reich?

News / The Polish Nanny & Abe Foxman of the ADL [3]

CIA uses ADL for various purposes...ADL and CIA, however, have different agendas...ADL use FBI...Just like Communism, 'alphabet agencies' have working relationships, not always same goals...All make money however.

Life / Why do so many people in Poland have issues with Judaism? [69]

Why do so many people have got issues with judaism?

One simple answer: The state of Israel was founded by Polish and Lithuanian Jews, and it is constantly in the center of many world events, or 'crises', if you will...Plus, a primary reason for the invasion of Poland by Germany was the presence of so many Jews in Poland...Russia had it's own reasons, but this played into it also.

There are only a few threads about Jews on PF...95% is other issues or subjects.

But it is a controversial subject, and spurs discussion.

News / The Polish Nanny & Abe Foxman of the ADL [3]

While visiting a few forums today and browing the web, I discovered an interesting piece of history.

judicial-inc.biz/8.1.0a1.jpg

Abe Foxman, head of the ADL (Anti-Defamation League), B'nai Brith 'big-wig' and general proponet of 'Jewish Power' in the US and globally, was born in Poland...Here, from the official ADL website:

Abraham H. Foxman is the National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and is known throughout the world as a leader in the fight against anti-Semitism, hatred, prejudice, bigotry and discrimination.

Born in Poland in 1940, Mr. Foxman was saved from the Holocaust as an infant by his Polish Catholic nanny who baptized and raised him as a Catholic during the war years. His parents survived the war, but 14 members of his family were lost.

His nanny's name was Bronislawa Kurpi, but there is no photo of her available.

Now, as far as 'focusing on heroic efforts of Christians rescuing Jews', I have never heard of these activities on Mr. Foxman's part...But the Polish background is interesting, and at least giving some props to the Poles.

Some on the PF slander the Polish people in this regard...I just try to bring some balance to the debate, presenting other sides...In the hell of war, you will find brother betraying brother, neighbor betraying neighbor, etc...This is the case since the beginning of time...I think most Poles are big hearted and noble people...But the 'blame game' can be played by anyone, since there is enough blame to go around.

Mao Tze Tung, Morphine & Opium Addict

About 20 years ago, I read a biography of Mao Tze Tung...I forget the name and author now, although if interested you could probably find it online...Anyway, very good book, from his youth to his death...Long book.

Well, Chairman Mao was a long time morphine/opium addict...He took this medication mostly in pill for (codeine, oxycodone etc), but also ingested pellets of opium, various forms...I do not remember if he injected anything.

Long time usage of this drug gives you severe constipation; you cannot move you bowels in a healthy manner for days, even a week or so...This was the direct cause of Elvis Presley's death...He had a stroke on the toilet attempting to go.

Mao had the same problem...His staff would notice him getting more and more irritable and
difficult to work with as the days progressed...When they saw him go to the bathroom, they prayed he could relieve himself, as to spare them misery.

But days would go by and no results...But then, usually at least one day a week, Mao would go in, and the staff would hear a great groaning, and a swearing in Chinese...This would go on for about an hour...Then the staff heard the flushing sound, and Mao would come out smiling and sweating from his exertion, and in relief...The staff rejoiced, knowing that they would have at least a few days of relative peace.

Dear Karl M.

I must inform you that you have been consigned to the 'dustbin of history'...However, you make good points about the pervasiveness of greed...However, no 'ism' will solve the problem.

Sincerely,

Life / Do Poles Lack in Social Skills and Etiquette? [74]

I ask this question rather tentatively, as the Pole in question is my BF of 1 year. He lives here in the UK, and is the most loving, kind and gentle man.

However, we have never gone out on a date - ie. dinner, cinema. I'm working and earning a good salary, so would be happy to pay my way, but it just seems that all socializing goes on in the home.

He thinks it strange when I ask if he has ever dined out, or would he go out on a date, almost as if it simply isn't something he has ever done!!!

Your comments will be much appreciated!!

The reason for your friend's reticence is because Poles are sorely lacking in manners and etiquette, just as rumored...Your suspicions are confirmed...You friend probably has not understood the difference between a sink and the toilet, or still gets them confused...He is reluctant to go to, say, a restaurant with you because he is afraid that if he needs to go, he might walk into the kitchen mistakenly and pee in the sink...Perhaps you, as a civilized and sophisticated person, can help him distinguish these things, and in this way you two can have normal social activities in a public place.

Do you ever notice an 'unusual' smell from your own kitchen sink after your BF goes into the kitchen to get something from the refrigerator?

Just Ask Joe..........StoLat!

History / Russians are Ugro-finnized Poles - no way around it ! [44]

Poles are related to Serbians and Serbians have ancient Iranian roots. Go and check it up!

All the more reason Poland should support Ahmadinejad and partner for independent nuclear power!

History / Russians are Ugro-finnized Poles - no way around it ! [44]

It's Nestor's " Tale of Bygone Years" and his short remark about Lyakhi, Viatichi and Radimichi being exaxtly the same ethnos, living somewhere in the woods like animals in dirt and sodomy.

Oh, watch out...This sounds like 'hate speech'.

Life / Why are Polish people so ruthless? [87]

Well, I'm sure some are quite 'ruthless', the criminal types...I just thought the poster was being a bit extreme.

Now, Polish Americans are quite everything I mentioned...I haven't met the 'throat cutter' type in my 50+ years.

The new immigrant Poles I meet are for the most part extremely intelligent, quite modest and friendly...But I'm sure they have problems as we all do...Hate to sound 'cliche' but it's true.

Why are Polish people so ruthless?

Because we are children of Satan, and have no respect for humanity, witness us helping the Nazis slaughter 60,000,000 Jews just for the fun of it.

Seriously, Polish people ruthless?...C'MON!!!...Stubborn, yes...Extremely conservative?...In many cases...Hold a grudge?...Could be...But RUTHLESS?...I have never met a ruthless Pole or Polish American...Pig headed?...Well...

Wiesz, że każda dziewczyna lubi dobrą kiełbasę.

Yes, a good kielbasa eaten on occasion is certainly beneficial to dziewczyny...However, a heavy diet may cause problems...This is what I say.

Heavy kiełbasa diet? Many Polish girls don't touch them. Older well-to-do Polish women do

Surely the young Polish women enjoy a kielbasa.

News / Does Poland count in Europe or is it ignored? [428]

This should answer your questions (web site is a bit slow):

Very encouraging...I noticed that the article is from a year ago, but I was most impressed by the report that Germany had a 0% budget deficit...Unbelievable...The US, well, you know the story...PLUS, 20% unemployment here, with another say 10% UNDEREMPLOYMENT...And still the Mexicans, Africans and Asians flood in...The Asians and Africans are productive, the Mexicans work too, but they send all the money back to Mexico, and eat up the social services...California is technically bankrupt, as are most states.

I think the more and the sooner Poland catches up to the "oldies" the more it will become a mutual interchange...I don't see anything what should keep that from happening

Good news.

Very good point...Now, what is the trade relationship between Poland and Germany?...Is it a case of using cheap Polish labor, or would/does Germany invest in building the Polish economy?...Certainly, Poland and Germany should be good neighbors, since they are next door to each other...Are there Polish businessmen who would like some German expertise, and does the Polish government encourage this?

News / Does Poland count in Europe or is it ignored? [428]

So, you feel Germany does well with the EU system?...You live in Germany, you would know better...Now, as has been stated, Germany subsidizes a big part of the EU...But of course you retain the Mark...Now let me ask: Is the Euro used inside Germany for most transactions, or is it more of a tool for the bankers to 'balance things out', you know, a measuring stick?...There is much debate about 'regional currencies' in the US, the opinion being negative on the part of those who think about these things, the rich bankers being all for it...The majority of people don't really care...How has it worked for Germany?
