News / German legal discrimination against Polish speakers [209]

They also hoped that the membership in the EU would help the economy of those new countries, thereby adding legitimacy

They hoped to exploit new defenseless markets close to them geographically. Yes, they granted legitimacy to post-commie oligarchy in exchange for a free pass to foreign capital and firm to exploit those countries as their new semi-colonies.

You remember who pushed for the accession

Dude, you talk as if that accession has happed with a snap of the fingers. Those countries had to follow all kind of pre-accession era, adopting tailor made for them by the EU new laws and what more important they agreed to open their markets and economies to strong world players from the west. It wasn't much of the competition, let me tell you.

So, people started to see it for what is was. If they wouldn't accept Poland then and there, it wouldn't happened at all, because the tide would have changed.

Poland profited a lot from this move. Now the Brits have changed their mind and proclaim that - amongst other things -

1.I fail to see how Poland profited?
2. Well, you exaggerate(by the way it was a first 'difficult' English word I have learned and still remember it sounded really exotic and mysterious to me lol)!

I would say that an immigration issue swayed/carried the vote for Brexitees but it wasn't at all the only reason as you made it to be.

New treaties have been signed, but no, they did not amount to a change in basic rules.

No, they signed new treaties for the hell of it. I know you are shuffling meaningless papers two hours a day (the rest of your six hour working day is a coffee, cakes and playing candy crush on the internet) 99% of which could be brined and that wouldn't make a slightest difference in people's lives, hell it would make their life easer. but make no mistake, bankers do support new treaties and legations in the EU for a reason or rather a lots of $.

.then what about that?

That is a problem created by EU. Now they want to fight it. In fact all those issues arise while PO ( butt buddies of junkier, Merkel and others progressives in charge) ruled in Poland. Now, gov that stopped that for the most part but is not cheek to cheek with those whackos and German dictate is gonna be held hostage for all this. Hey you have Tusk he is the main cuprite - take his money ways and put him behind the bars.

No? Hypocrisy and guano that all it is.

Anyhoo, my take on this all goes beyond all those squabbles that have been produced by the corrupt and inefficient EU/German bureaucracy.

I say, f them and their money, Poland just should pay into EU nothing as a response.

What about that?

what about what? read the links you posted - ec.europa.ec, what do you expect the truth? like soviets would post data how many people they killed and how impoverishing their economic policy make their won people? Really? I excepted more out of you as you remember DDR. Yet, you are OK, so it must be great - right? They bought you with your shoes and helmet.

Don't be sad - most people are like that - easy.

lesser members" to join the EU? They all knew what they signed up for.

That is actually not true.

They in fact did everything to join, up to falsifying their numbers.

Sure and poor naïve Germans and their EU kollegen got duped by devilishly clever and mischievous Geeks, was it? Maybe just maybe your gov looked the other way for reasons of their own and only when the S hit a fan, they play this three wise monkey game.

By the way are you not being racist here Mr Progressive when it suits me?

Who paid for many of the new motorways in Poland?

Polish taxpayers. Go on lie some more about EU giving money to Poland. I'm sorry for jumping a gun here, maybe you are such ignoramus on the issue that you actually believe that propaganda.

The EU is to Germany....nobody else benefits....

That is not true a German manufacture based economy plus all kind of bankers, financial sharks and such benefits great deal. Hence London was against exit.

Meanwhile, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia and Malta have flourished.

Dude, stop it. Have you been to Lithuania, the place is almost empty. Most of the population earns they money working aboard. They roads and such is not that great either. Yes, Slovakia as a place where international mafia is laundering dirty money with consecutive governments looking the other way. Hence when this journalist was killed it caused some waves amongst compliant Slovakian populace for the first time since Adam and Eve.

Poles had always been immigrants to Germany, never been natives...

Yes, I think y have been right as to only Silesia and minority rights before the war.

However above it is a BS. Half of the eastern Prussia, Gdansk with surrendering area had been Poland rightful territory that belonged to Poland long before German state encompassing most of the former Holy Roman (German) Empire states emerged from the mist of history. Not that long ago to be blunt.

If comes to Silesia it was a part of the Polish Crown, part of Poland for centuries and hence you were talking about 'ethnicity' Those people in lower Silesia became Germans in the second part of the 19th century.

I digress, the point is that Polish people had been natives in Germany for the most part of the 19th century up to 1918.

There is no historical justification for granting them those rights nowadays

dude, read the legal justification for granting a minority status in the EU. OK? It is all about EU. It is about century old roots not historical justification. Because if you talk about countries there all is about reciprocity. Meaning Germany doesn't need to do Poland any favor in that regard. Poland should just treat German people in Poland in the same way Polish people are treated in Germany. Tit for tat. Simple.

I would be against such a solution - simple, smooth and elegant.

Because Germans had been once natives in these territories (

Nah, that is stretching the truth. It about 100 years, if a group of people have been settled in a certain area they have the right to got all the rights to be a recognized minority. The Polish people had that right in Germany before the war - Mr Hitler took that away from them ( with property and money)and now lovely, friendly, democratic Germany doesn't want to give it back. Darn aren't all that just a fake and feigned. Well why don't you go FY. (not you BB my pal- your gov and its policy)

may be "Polish patriots" at most. Being a true Polish patriot reguires

Yeah? What would you know about it? If you wanna go down this road let do it.

As a bureaucrat that doesn't add anything of value to the wealth of a nation you are living off the taxpayers money. So it is rather crude and crass to demand from people to pay taxes in Poland that you could live your live off their sweat and money. One of the reason I contest PiS is the fact they have done nothing to cut down a huge overgrown army of pen-pushers. That would be a goal worthy of a true patriot.

If you don't cause you would be hurting your interest in the process you better shut your mouth lecturing others, key?

this forum claim to have attended it. They're all pushing the identical "women and children attend" line too

aha it is all conspiracy, fascist, far right conspiracy to fool people and lure them into a false sense of security while in fact it is a dangerous gathering of people sharpening their long knifes to go after you and all of saintly people from the holy left.

Geez... can you get more paranoid and bonkers that you Delph? are you going out much? Conspiracy theorist lol! If you are not a one what exactly are you peddling here?

my point about this childish march.

Who cares about YOUR points? You flat out refuse to listen to people with different view. Dismissing them without even listing to their points. That is darn childish and you have a cheek to hand out labels and opinions - meh - whenever just called you on your BS.

Net birth rate in Germany: 1.46Net birth rate in Poland: 1.35

If you spilt it up by their origin or religion you would see that Muslims make up for Germany higher number.

Ziemia naszych ojcow' = Ojczyzna

it is grammatically feminine gender, plus Poland had been always depicted as a female. Alas the origin of the word could have been derived from a father but that tricky it could mean as well ancestors. However somewhere along the way its meaning morphed into something that can be translated as Motherland. Unless you are a google translator.

ojczyzna"

It rather refers to ancestors in my opinion. The land of our predecessors.

Not yours either Doug! That's not an Irish accent :)

That dude sucks in his own native language. People you scammed pretending to teach them English should sue you. lol!

am not going to open any of those lest my youtube feed gets filled up by simple minded ranting idiots in tight t shirts.

Typical, the only idiot is the one looking at you from your mirror.

Seriously though, people who are unable to familiarize themselves with a different point of views and at the same time hold and express strong opinions about this or that are just pathetic creatures and nobody should take them seriously. I don't.

opposed to the hateful ideology that those thugs promote.

hmm, are you talking about your friends? Otherwise it is hard to take you seriously, if anything you are the most heated person on this forum for being nasty, hatful and mean. So - looks who is talking!

What ideology are you talking about? Clearly you know nothing about Dmowski (narodowcach). So stop being a jerk by talking smack about issues you have clearly no clue about.

The organizers aim for over 100 000 participants this year.

It was that number few times in the past. This year there should be at least 200 000 due to it centennial character.

In Germany we say..."The bigger the parade, the smaller the dick!" *

Hey are you talking about that gay parade you have in Berlin? lol
I guess you;re thinking about an official organized by a government parade with military. It is a parade organized annually by the people with no governmental participation, Well, this year government might want to 'steal it' but that is a different story.

h yes - the annual tradition of pretending there are a lot of kids there

Nah, the other way around. Yet, some commie looser always whinge about it.

I don't agree, being a linguist.

As I said, it's dehumanizing. In my opinion.

Really? It doesn't sound like an opinion of the expert. What branch of linguistics is your field of expertise?

Maybe you are one of those people who want to prove that it is impossible for the normal people to talk.

consider that European migration to

Why would you even consider that? That is a false narrative if I ever seen one. Those are completely different issues. When will this stupid approach stop? Why don't you go to the vet if you have problem with your health? After all both have a medical degree. No difference at all - right? Maybe it is all more simple - are you stupid?

Politicians with a brain, a sense for history and honor?

tsk BB, what are you even talking about?

.I have no idea why! :)

hmm maybe because Germans try to lecture Poles on number of subjects, they also pay all and sundry but Poland. Not that long ago they paid up to Italy for some mischief they had done there during the war. Yet when it comes to Poland Germany is so firm that it begets a question - are you asking for trashing or are u that ignorant? Has it really came to it. Where are German politicians with a sense for history and honor?

Hmm ... you are wrong and right at the same time BB. You're right that PiS is using reparation as a pollical tool. (who wouldn't?) Yet you're wrong claiming that Poland already got those reparations or more precise Poland haven't been compensated adequately. . The subject had been already debated back and forth on the very forum. Do you really want to start to talk about it all over again?

Germany paid reparations to Poland after German reunification after a special agreement was made.

Really? They paid slave labourers forced to work for the III Reich who were still alive at the time for about 100 euro each. That is discussing and post-commies that had been in charge of Poland at the time must have been bribed to accept such a deal.

It seems that this will never end

Some of you Jews have no shame.

News / EU confirms it will take action against Poland over court reforms [554]

Its always been this way they punched above their weight in the 20s and look what happened.

What happened? Do you have some magic formula that in you mind would have changed situation that Poland was in before the war? There was no good path for Poland to follow at the time. It is true that Poland's gov at the time was not the best and made some unwise choices. Has there been other way that would result in a better ending for Poland? I doubt it. Look at Hungary, they chose a pragmatic way - somehow it didn't work for them that well. They ended up in the some barrel with Poland.

By the way it has nothing to do with punching. It has to do with Poland sovereignty. . IF you cannot see that, its very much devalue all your opinions on the subject.

ts amongst all people.

Nah, not all people. Maybe all people down under but who cares about their opinions. Sure, you don't even speak the language of the country. Why would you even be interested in its affairs? Nice that you have some sentiment but you're obviously engrossed in some other stuff, good for you and Godspeed Mr Australian.

not even when you were busy slagging every female on this board.

What are you even talking about? I thread everyone the same on this forum. I take into account a content of their posts. Some females obviously cannot handle debate without female privileges they enjoy in the real world. Other than that I think you have mistaken me for somebody else.

I work in academia

Who cares? I think most poster here works. Oh do you want to impress me with academia? lol! I have met my share of really not that bright academics and some were really dumb costumers. Worse still that believe themselves to be crème al la crème of the intellectual crop just by the virtue of holding some teaching position. Whilst not dealing with students they are out of their element.

come here for an easy discussion,

let be honest you came here to vent and to enlighten others with you wisdom. The problem is nether your rant nor your wised has any currency here. I don't take this forums debate death serious either. So MY easy discussion and YOU easy discussion obviously are not on the same plane ....

Yes,

Yes, indeed. You have no clue about Poland. Sadly it must be true what you said about yourself regarding your IQ. Plus you're progressive that alone is enough to simply ignore your 'opinions', Let mention for a good measure your language skills after 30 years in the country and everything is clear.

Pis is setting polands reputation back many years.

Reputation amongst progressive establishment is worthless in the long run anyway.

The European Court of Justice

Not that anyone cares about it anymore. It is rather a question of integrity. Is PiS sturdy enough to tell them to go pound sand in a way that is a the same time constructive and clever?

As to the crux of the matter - regardless of a fact who is in charge in Poland EU (read German) action is unacceptable. It is a grab to bring down the last vestige of Poland's sovereignty. Such encroachment should be met with countermeasures. Few obvious steps came to mind.
