History / The Greatest King of Poland? [117]

It's an interesting way of honoring former rulers..

Ey.. Poles like to drink..
You know Poles didn't participate in Crusades to the holy land because of the lack of Vodka? Or mead? ;)

I like it 10 times better that an Beer or an beverage got an symbol of soembody then make a statue or a monument (Don't think I don't like statue/monuments because I loooooove them!!!)

History / The Greatest King of Poland? [117]

This thread is wandering

I will wander back and keep wondering about wonderfull Polish king's then

£okietek was is and will be the best!!!
But Jagiello takes a good second place

As for Pilsudski - no matter what, he wasn't that bad of a guy. So, I rest my case

awww... You just say it to be nice to me! :)

History / The Greatest King of Poland? [117]

I wish my ancestors enacted genocide upon Ukis and settled the place with someone civilized, like Poles, maybe then we wouldnt have those peasants mucking up our ancient cities like Lwów.

I wish my maybe-future-brothers-in-arms weren't that rude and had some sense of diplomacy and manners

History / The Greatest King of Poland? [117]

Let me say this: Pilsudski who "supported" idea of Trojga N. appeared on the same postcard with Stalin and Hitler.

It is indeed dreadfull...
I wish my co-ancestors had more IQ so that they wouldn't do such moronic stunts

It might suggest his legacy in Lithuania.

Check up how large Lithuania is, how many Lithuanians and then check the Polish army during that time. If he wanted to legalize all of Lithuania then he would. But he didn't want to, only reasons he took Vilnius (Wilno) was because

1. The units around that are were native to that land
2. The city had a lot of Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth influence/ancestry
3. Majority or a big bunch were Polish or claimed to be Polish
4. It was his city which he were born&raised

Not only did the soldiers/politicians want him to take the city he also had personal affections for that city...

He just couldn't say no as he had the chance of having it inside Polish borders...
It is a shame that the Lithuanians take such an big grudge becaouse of it :((

I still stand that £okietek is dha best!!! Re-uniting Poland is not something one does every day!!! ;)

(If Piłsudski can be considered as King of Poland I would voted for him!!! :D )

I do. These were tough times of disputes, armies and forces in Ukraine.

Yeah.. real mixup

I do blame my country in missing on forming a better defense.

Oh I wish it would have gone better... I wonder how it would looked like and what would had happaned... Hmm Mayeb i should make a thread about it!!! :D

He used Petliura in his own aims - to show the Soviets there place - and then said I am sorry.

I bet that if the Polish-Soviet war went a bit different and that Petlura had a stronger standign with an Ukrainian army in Kiev... Then a lot more would had happaned! Don't you agree?

Girls...we have a treaty, remember!

Ey ey ey I don't remember the treay all too well... But still I am only talking about histroical facts! (and their all about the Soviet-Polish war) which again derives from the question of Chrobry's conquests and if his aims were legitimate as their Polish now or not

Regarding Pilsudski and his ideas of Trojga Narodow

He was a liar and haven't kept his word.

At the stage of 1918-1921 he was only the head of military
All forms of official alliance/deals which were doen through the Sejm was thanks to Dmowski and his bunch

and after the coup in 1926 it was too late and he still didn't have enough support to go through with Creating Ukraine as people wanted to relax and celebrate an independant country, not going on conquest of righteousness and helping an newly created (maybe puppet?) state of Ukraine or even sharing lands with Nationalistic bunch of Lithuanians...

I think it's all a pitty that it didn't work out... But trust me if Piłsudski could, he would

I agree with MrGrunwald. Lokietek re-united Poland after Krzywousty's blunder.

That's right I can't understand why most Poles can't appreciate him a bit more, if not for him then there wouldn't be ANY Poland!!! Other just improved Poland a little...

"In 1318, he embarked on a coronation campaign. The pope, though initially unwilling, finally granted his approval and Władysław was crowned King of Poland on 30 January 1320 in Kraków. The coronation was a sign that he had overcome Poland's internal fragmentation and re-united and re-instated the country as an independent kingdom under his rule."

History / Nice video of De Gaulle addressing Poles [10]

He was a colonel who wasn't exactly held in high regard.

Not only was he much popular among intellectual Frenchmen, he also was not that popular among Americans or the British! ;p

Ahh forgot to say I "bookmarked" the video or a similar one a long time ago :)
Like it how it says it in Polish! It is amazing and it shows that there are still some few French guys which still have their shiny armour somewhere hidden in their celler/closet ;)

Seems the first YT film is broken

Here is an other! :=)

Life / Are Poles bigots and xenophobes? [205]

Life / Are Poles bigots and xenophobes? [205]

Quite easily.

What an shocker! I bet he won't belive you! ;)

heck, no-one cares.

As long as they don't walk naked, why should they?

Obviously it doesn't help that the Catholic church is frantically anti-gay.

Somehow in the middle ages the Catholic Church had crusades and burned witches! Guess what happaned in Poland! (Well there was some few burning of witches but that happaned when it was an German king at power which was from Saxony later on 1700+)

so you think I am or I'm not Polish?

Well you assumed the first commentator was the living proof of a Pole so I assume (Just like you) that you must also be Polish! :)

which influenced some of the population.

That is indeed correct

Polonia / Life in Poland vs Norway - good for children, benefits, etc? [43]

Lycka till.

Thank you! Thankfully only the grown up Norwegians were understanding or wasn't that moronic... So I very often spoke with teachers and had dialogue with them. Of course the other pupils thought I was the theachers favorite or something... Didn't help... Aaargh University I hunger for you!

Polonia / Life in Poland vs Norway - good for children, benefits, etc? [43]

there's a lot of leftist mentality especially in Norway and especially in the femi-nazi circles

See? See?

I must say I'm somewhat surprised you have such negative feelings toward Norway.

Sorry but when at School I get mocked for beliving in a God, and being called a Strawberry plucker and trying to turn of the TV when i watched the Popes funeral I DON'T GET GOOD OPINION ABOUT NORWEGIANS

and at that I hear somebody mock the royal family at every corner.. It is very frustrating

surveys and what they really feel are two different things and you know it

This is not true. I know many Swedes who stay longer and are happy with that.

Yeah but looking at them makes us misarable ;p

(most of my life I've lived close to the Norwegian border).

Skjera!!?

Love / What are Polish Women like? Just started to date one. [256]

Wait for them to grow up a little, or hold out for a sane one !

Yeah... I am going to try when I will study (if I will study..) there should be some with some IQ at least (hopefully with some manners as well) otherwise my insight of the Norwegian population will sink lower then the Adriatic Ocean

News / Giant Jesus Rising in Świebodzin ( Tallest in world ) [323]

It's in Rio, and it looks over the city, on the edge of a ridge.

local community yes that's fine but in general matters... Come on...

News / Giant Jesus Rising in Świebodzin ( Tallest in world ) [323]

Welcome to the Régime totalitaire de Radio Maria!!!

I would more say WELCOME TO SOUTH AMERICA!
They have a huge statue of Jesus in Brazil or somewhere if I recall... stupid as hell!

I don't want Poland to become an American banana

If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to erect a statue of Lucifer somewhere close to that one, with the angel wings and all.

;P

You been smoking again? You know what kind I am talking about

that, so far, our country hadn't a statue of Jesus of proper size, and they
decided to supply the deficiency. Chapeau bas!

You insane?!

Construction of the statue is being funded through collections by local people.

So if people don't like this idea and would been happy to ripp the idea to shreds it's anti-individuality and the masses controls the thing!

I have said it before and I will say it again the plebs have no idea what to really do!

So why would they be any different towards symbolism of other, not-so-mainstream religions?

Because the people wanting them build are maybe not that high like you and don't spit on everyone in their face!

You know there are very very few Polish people posting here.

I am still the Norwegian? ohhh...
