Inwroclaw,I like to skin and dice potatoes and fry them in olive oil,this is a healthier alternative,though I know their are much healthier things,like what you just mentioned.You could leave the skin on the potatoes,but I don't care for them that way.

History / People the Soviets planted in Poland [75]

Delphiandomine,I understand your point and am not suggesting that this definitely happened,I don't think that if it had been done it would have been to stave off the end as you pointed out,but it could be possible that they would try to exert their influence in preparation of the transition,but hey,I could be absolutely wrong,I just don't think that it's far fetched to suggest such a thing.

History / People the Soviets planted in Poland [75]

Varsovian,So are you saying this is you're theory and that you don't have proof?I don't think it's any more far fetched then the type of subterfuge that the U.S. government has engaged in.It makes sense that the Soviet Russian government would have looked ahead and continued to try to manipulate things to their advantage,though I don't have proof,I'm saying that suggesting something like that does not sound unbelievable.

f stop I don't know the particulars of how long those two have lived in Poland.What I was saying to them is that I'd understand why they'd be irritated if someone from somewhere else tried to tell me how the country where they live should be ran.I haven't bought into anything.that was it.As far as what these guys have been doing for years around here,well I haven't been here for years.If people don't like the way I moderate then they can go ahead and complain to admin.I try to do the best that I can.

Gregorz,I'm not referring to expats.I'm referring to Polonia that were born and raised in a different country have never been to Poland and try to tell people in Poland what is best for their country,I could understand how that could be irritating,So I really don't know what talking about as I was pretty clear about it.And why would I say that about somebody who lived there.Think about it.

Gregorz,Who ever said a whole gang,I was speaking about anyone who would do that and you don't know why and to what purpose I was mentioning it for obviously.Show where I'm ever even close to insinuating that there is a group of experts on this forum.You really need to read this thread and then you'll understand as to who they are suggesting this about and I'm saying if this is the case,then I understand it.

ShawnH,well Delph did say that Polonia were dumb pol's for saying that it was a word.I'm assuming that Harry agreed with Delph about busia not being a word?As this has been a thread about Polonia and Delph did make some statements about Polonia in regards to this word,then I would say that this is on topic.

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]

Harry,Can you see why it would give the impression?These people obviously got the impression..

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]

I never said that he called you a racist.You had said in reference to aphrodisiacs goals and as boletus was part of that,I was just asking if you were calling him a liar.I should have read more closely what you said,my bad.

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]

ok my bad,but did you read that closely;he may not actually say your name,but you are heaped in their.

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]

Harry, Who was that directed at?Are you saying that boletus is lying?

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]

Harry,can you see what I mean about giving off the impression?

boletus,Thank you for the link and pointing out the generalizations.Well done.

Delph,I know that you want to,to them,I'm just saying that I know you don't have to,it's all in your power.What if they were to ignore you,could you ignore them?Because I hate to see you guys end up getting suspended over what really amounts to foolishness when you really think about it.I have to admit that you and Harry and the other party have done a pretty decent job of staying out of each others hair so far for the most part.

As for Busia I don't know what it means I have to be honest with you.Blanket statements are not the only way to go."I've noticed that there are some Amer/Pol I'm not saying that all,say this that or the other thing".I know you could do better if you wanted to,because you're basically saying I'd rather insult all Amer/Pol if I can't insult it the few.Really think about what you just said.If you're going to make blanket statements it's not fair to the others man,I know you"re reasonable or I wouldn't waste my time.It's like I said;you don't have to allow those people to get in your head.I bet if you didn't reply to them they wouldn't reply to you.I don't think it is being unreasonable to ask for some discretion.Is this asking the impossible?.I have to admit that for the most part you have always been respectful to me,even before I was a mod.When you talk to people you can take them to task all you want without being insulting and just giving your honest opinion.I do it all the time and get my point across very well,wouldn't you agree?

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]

4 eigner,I know that those two are really sharp,so it's hard to understand why they let certain Polonia(particularly American) get into their heads.I see enough people openly complain on these threads that although it may not be intended,it seems as if they are lumping everyone together.I know these guys are too intelligent to be doing this purposely,So I would hope that they would qualify their statements more often,delphiandomine,though I know who you perceive as fitting your description,but you do sometimes make blanket statements and though I know your not boxing every one in,I would ask that you refrain even if you have particular Polonia in mind,I figure that sometimes you forget because as I said I know your an Intelligent guy and are not that narrow minded.As I said to Harry I understand that it can be frustrating when people try to tell you that basically their more in touch with Poland than you who lives there are,I don't blame you for being irritated one bit,but we all have the ability to use discretion in what's being said.Don't take this as a slam because I'm telling you how I honestly see it...

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]

Well if everyone was in the KKK then I would have to say that you were putting down all Americans and then rightfully so How many of the American/Polonia here have made all kind of racist responses to give that kind of impression that American Polonia are racists.Lol you have a point with the KKK response.I'm saying that it's hard for me to differentiate since I'm an American,not that I was right in that thinking.And since you say you are not blanketing all of the American Polonia that is a group,there would be no need for that KKK response unless you're saying this group is as them.I don't think you would be saying that just individuals in the KKK are that way.

Delphiandomine,so can you see where I'm coming from in my replies to you and Harry?

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]

Harry,I can understand how someone trying to tell you what's best for Poland when they don't live there or never even been there can be annoying.This is why,though I am American Polonia that I don't do this,but I do want to learn about Poland the land my ancestors came from.I would like to be able to discuss Polish issues.This is why you will not hear me chiming in on these discussions about Polish issues very often,I am not armed with enough knowledge and is why I joined PF.It's not because I feel this need to want to be part of Kryu(I believe this is how it is spelled)I am an American first and foremost and when I hear people downing American Polonia(I'm not saying specifically you) I see this as downing Americans because being American it's hard for me to differentiate the difference.Can you see where I'm coming from?Though y'all may be referring to specific individuals it can give this impression.

Polonius3,anyway it's interesting that records weren't really kept through the whole Piast era.Thanks for your input.

boletus,do you think that Mieszko issuing the Dagome Idieux had More to do with protecting his second wife Oda's interests?

Jon357,I agree as well.

Boletus thank you for the info and links.I would have thought the upper class such as Mieszko and the other Dukes etc. would have been literate.I also figured he would have had court scribes as well.I understand that the mentioned factors give credence to the theories.I wonder if a good deal of records had been lost.I should continue to read and keep the focus on that objective though.Polonius3,Thank you as well for the info.

boletus,Google translate won't translate that first link into English..

Piorun,I am only talking about this instance,how you can compare that to hazing lol,is beyond me.I think in most places this would be considered unacceptable and obviously in Poland as well or it wouldn't have been deemed inappropriate.

Delphiandomine,good point teens can be naive as well and 13 is still a child.In the U.S. Children are taught that this type of behavior is wrong.I'm not saying that this is acceptable in Poland,but obviously these children were not taught that way and it seems neither were the adults in this case. How long has this tradition been going on for?

boletus,I am just curios as to why it wasn't chronicled until so much later.It seems to me that Roman history was more extensively recorded.

Ziemowit,I should have said Piast era I was actually combining early meaning early history and Piast in the same phrase,as Casimir lll was the last Piast ruler.I am going to do some more extensive reading on it.I am finding out that there is a lot they don't know about this era.Such as What Meiszko's name meant and his reasons for Joining the Church.They don't know where his baptism took place.Was it because they didn't really keep records then?Not that it's really important,but I'm just curios.
