There will always be haters but let them be, ignore them.

Dude, are you German or are you Polish, stop protecting these people, if it was up to them we'd all be gone and our land was theirs and they wouldn't feel an ounce of pity for you

Well, I think you have a point now, PennBoy. The Germans have shown themselves to be more imperialistic in the past. Just look at their ties with Croatia and their meddling in Yugoslavia. They had no business sticking their snouts in and I was chatting with a German about it. He agrees. Not to mention their drang nach osten (movement east). Such a pity that their army is a bunch of clowns these days ;)

Disillusionment at their mechanical lives is harbouring resentment for Poles but they should look elsewhere to vent. Poland has had enough of their belly rumbling and butchering.

These clowns are everywhere - Poland, Britain, USA, France, Russia, Germany, Australia... Thankfully, most people are not living in the past anymore.

i do agree with you in the main, i think a lot of the US, UK, Germany, Australia have moved on well from the war. On the other hand though i think Poland and Russia have real issues about letting things go.

The Germans cannot help it if there are a few racists/nazi's in their country and you can't hold the whole nation accountable for the minority

It was the Berliner himself that told me. He left Germany due to their mechanical procedures and always doing things by the book.

I have found it sometimes difficult to get Europeans to speak freely while here on work related travel. Generally, providing booze or getting them really, really, angry does the trick.

Perhaps I will ply him with a gift of a large bottle of aspirin. I guess you cannot buy this in Germany? They all seem to buy it while here. What is it with the sparkling water? I wouldn't wash my feet with that ****!

Listen Other (Alien) you don't know me so shut your mouth, dumb f**k, the young ones hate us like their grandparents, if fact it started way before fag Hitler came along, Bismark hated us just as much and tried making Polish people's lives hell, so learn history carefully before you open you stupid mouth, one of my great grandfathers was sent to a forced labor camp on the German Belgian border, the other was a partisan leader they assassinated Wehrmacht troops, my great grandma could tell you how people from her neighboring village were shot in a nearby forest, or how the neighbors daughter a 10 yr old girl was shot in the head for being out past curfew, being late from school.

You need help, urgently. I'd bet that you know exactly ... zero ... young Germans.

True. But as it goes: Poles can be racists and intolerant, but oh dear if somebody says something about the Poles themselves. NPD is as far as I know closely watched by all responsible government bodies. I am sure this will have consequences for them.

PS: I see they have drawn two magpies onto the poster. Maybe they are just complaining about a pest of those birds? Maybe there are an extremely lot of those birds flying in? Birds know no borders and they can be a pest at times.

You will never experience the way Germans view Poles unless they take you for a Pole.Then you will realize the tension which however does not exist between Germans and Russians.

In german TV when they show Poles,it is usually reportage about thieving or border smuggling.

And then on the other hand, I know plenty of Germans who have Poles among their best friends. I am sure everybody in the EU is happy with such a paranoid state within the EU-borders. But I guess this forum is not a representation of real life out there, as most of the experiences I have with Poles are basically the opposite of what I read here. Anyhow.

To play devil's (or Germans' - same thing) advocate: Anyone here ever heard of 'juma'?

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juma

"Słowo to wywodzi się z rejonów nadgranicznych i określało rodzaj przestępstwa polegający na kradzieży towarów w przygranicznych, niemieckich sklepach"

"The word comes from border areas and described a kind of crime related to stealing merchandize from German stores near the border" (nb this isn't shoplifting bread for hungry children, it's breaking and entering and grand larceny)

There was an article on this some years ago in Gazeta Wyborcza which described how juma was the major industry in large areas of the countryside near the border. Not too long after I had a (weekend) student from that part of the country and surprised her when I used the word (she hadn't realized I knew Polish). I asked if she knew people who did that and she said yeah, a lot of people in her village supported themselves that way and she didn't see anything wrong with it (they're only Germans, who cares what happens to them?).

I don't know if the situation had improved but when large numbers of people cross the border to commit crimes I think it's okay for the country in question to be upset about it - especially when the country where the criminals come from doesn't give a rat's ass.

This is not to say that there isn't stupid prejudice and jerks in Germany (and completely illegal linguisic prejudice supported by the courts), just that viewing German attitudes through the prism of 'they're all nazis and hate us' is no more productive than Germans thinking 'they're all thieves' about Poles.

Kumbayah......

...the young ones hate us like their grandparents,

Are you sure you get it the right way around???

...one of my great grandfathers was sent to a forced labor camp on the German Belgian border, the other was a partisan leader they assassinated Wehrmacht troops, my great grandma could tell you how people from her neighboring village were shot in a nearby forest, or how the neighbors daughter a 10 yr old girl was shot in the head for being out past curfew, being late from schoo...

You sound like a young Pole who still hates the Germans like the old ones did....and for the same reasons.

Your blaming the Germans hating the Poles for what the Germans did sounds abit....um....curious....at least!

they're only Germans, who cares what happens to them?

That's actually the main thing: if you think like that about other ppl, how in the world can you expect other ppl to respect you? A better world starts with yourself and if you want to comment on other ppl's kitchen, make sure your own kitchen is spotless.

just that viewing German attitudes through the prism of 'they're all nazis and hate us' is no more productive than Germans thinking 'they're all thieves' about Poles.

Second that. But I guess nobody listens anyway.

I find this forum an accurate representation of real life giving precious insights.For example Crow writes what you expect from a Serb,BB has typical german logic,Seanus is stoic like Scots,there are the revolutionary,hot-tempered Irish,the english humour and John Bull,everything.

Says who?! ROFL :)))

On topic:

I don't honestly know what's happening between Poles and Germans on personal level. But if consider political and geographic aspects then you Poles have more reasons to better deal with Germans than with us Russians. Yet this just from my perspective.
