History / Poland before WWII or Poland now what would you choose? [390]

Despite this agreement, plunder continued to be a means of 'supplying' Soviet units stationed in Poland.

your friends the Soviets, what a bull, ain't it?

Why isn't the Polish government demanding compensation from Soviet Union for losses and extortion suffered at the hands of the Soviets during WWII and the post-war periods?

for real, an important point.

I figure, there's not much love between Poles and Ukrainians :-)

A question to our Polish friends around here, how do you guys feel about your neighbors especially Lithuanians and Ukrainians?

Whats wrong with that?

you're right about that again Ironside as long as you give Germans the same rights.

This wikipedia link haven't been written by Poles

But also not by the Germans. Are you trying to say that history is only true if it's written by Polish people? Please tell me it's not what you really meant to say. C'mon man, lol.

yup ... don't forget expulsions of Poles from Gdańsk orgainsed by Germans in 19 century ...

what do you mean by that, Gdansk was build by the Poles?
I agree you did a great job on restoring it but if you're saying that the architecture of Gdansk (downtown) from the past centuries was Polish too then I have to strongly disagree with you. Anyone can easily find out on the internet who build most of the old buildings in Gdansk and I tell you, you won't find too many Poles there. Sorry, but it's just the way it is just like now Gdansk is a part of Poland.

Besides if you want, go to wilkipedia and find out about the population in this city before 1939. What is there to argue about?
I can understand if the count was 50-50 or even 40-60 but not when it was 95,5% Germans to 4,5% rest of Europe (not only Poles)

Maybe you should be asking the Kremlin what happened to Poland's share of German reparations?

great point there

Of course not ... but it is how Gdańsk downtown looked like after the war

yep and that's why thank you guys for restoring it to what it used to be before the WWII. Like I said, great job.

Most of the towns in the former German territories were destroyed and were rebuild, and most of the towns left in the lost polish territories were left almost intact by the war.

I can't talk about Lwow but "in the former German territories" you Polish did really a great job to bring it back to make it look like it used to

Whats more in the area of Wilno where still are Polish majority Lithuanian government refuses give back property - mostly land - to Poles, Lithuanians were given property back long time ago

I agree with you, if the properties used to belong to the Poles they should be given back to you just like anyone else claiming what used to be his before the WWII, doesn't matter who, Poles, Germans, Russians, Ukrainians etc. In the free World people should have the right to get back what rightfuly used to belong to them no matter where they're from.

I was in Gdansk last summer and beside fabulous German-built architecture and German-built downtown

I have to agree with you. A beautiful historical downtown but the rest around not very attractive

History / Russia: Poland responsible for WW II [300]

I'd get pissed if a civilized country like Germany issued something like this

read it before you get pi**ed off. Germany disagrees with Russian version.

"Man impregnates 30 women, blames Poland"

I mean this sounds realistic ;-)

"Aborigines claim Polish ancestry, long lost tribe"

OK that too

Life / JOKES ABOUT POLISH. Have we deserve it? [68]

ORIGIN of Polish “jokes” came from Nazi German propaganda that was then pushed by Soviet communist sympathizers in Hollywood.

The racist stereotype that Poles are intellectually inferior or have subhuman intelligence came from Nazi German propaganda and Soviet propaganda.

c'mon guys, why the hell you take it that serious?
When someone is making jokes about you keep loughing with him and I bet he'll quit sooner or later or just walk away from it if it pi**es you off so bad. I mean you can't stop it anyway.

That is why there are so many Polish jokes because the Poles can't take a joke. Lol

I'm glad you said that Krysia. You ain't lying either. (most of them anyway)

Polish man finds wife working at brothel

I don't want to know how many times that already happened in the past. Nothing against Polish women but I'm sure you know that there are whole bunch of Polish women working places like that in western Europe (especially Germany).

History / Western Europe and America vs Russia WWII - chances of Poland being saved [494]

Yeah it does suck what they did but you have to forgive them at some point and move on or you have the same things happening again and again. You don't have to be the best of friends but at some point everyone has to let go of the past, to some extent, and get on with the future

100% right
