Shyt, you are right. Ivona will be useless here.


Even if there is, I wouldn`t dare to use the outcome of the translation in any film. :(:(:(:(:


Exactly.

Sorry, Mimz. You need to invest some dough.

Sorry, but it is unfair to compare prices in the Polish capital and rural England.

It is natural that the big city is more expensive than the countryside.

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]


Which Jews exactly?


Nobody is dodging anything.

But if you knew history, you would know that not only Jews were wronged during and after WW2. Poles were too.

Sorry, years 1939-1989 was the Time of Trouble for Poland and 99% people who lived here.

And whenever the Time of Trouble takes place on Earth, do not expect to receive the earthly justice.

You will receive it in Heaven.

Therefore, never lose hope.

I don`t think so.

The main sin of Jews was the fact they were unable to prevent fellow Europeans from murdering them by thousands, then by millions throughout centuries.

Finally, Jews decided to do sth about it.

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]


Yes, they are. The ancestors of today`s Israelis spent hundreds of years in Europe and acquired European standards. Look at the political system in Israel - the only democracy in the region, surrounded by dirty dictatorships.

I understand your stand but our discussion has evolved into a direction which directly leads to the bin. You`d better move it to another thread, e.g., Where does Poland, the people of Poland stand with the Palestine/Israel issue

but I can`t promise I will follow you there as the issue is of no importance to me now.

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]


After WW2, many Jews who created the state of Israel had Polish connections.

However, this small nation - in 1948 in the British mandate was only about 700 thousand Jews - not only won the war with all its neighbors, but over time has become a regional power with a developed economy and democratic political culture. How was it possible? The answer may be surprising. To a great extent, this has been because of the Polish Jews, the Poles of Jewish origin.

Israel in the years 1948 - 1949 survived through military victory over its Arab neighbors in the war for independence. And then we looked like an army? Just look at the memories of a young officer then, later General and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.It describes that the army was dominated by Poles. During the walk was to hear the English

commands and orders, and soldiers wore such names as Jacek, Marek or Lolek. It is the young Poles, just recently saved from the Holocaust, died in heavy fighting with Jerusalem. Today is estimated that more than half of the then 130-thousand Israeli army were Polish Jews.

I hope you understand now why some Polish schools, including mine, are running exchanges with spoiled Israeli students. :):):):):):)

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]


Polish schools don`t do exchanges with Palestinians. They are not Europeans.

The only Arab students that come to Poland are from Turkey which has European aspirations.

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]

I work for the Polish government in the capacity as a high school teacher. Field - public education.

Next schoolyear we are going to have an exchange with Israel. I am a coordinator and partly responsible for the success of the exchange.

Still?

I haven`t heard of any new claims made by American Jewish organizations recently.

I think they have finally understood it was all futile and have given up.

Will Hollande keep his promises, e.g., lowering retirement age to 60?


Probably you are right.

I like this one about teachers:

He wants to raise the minimum wage, hire 60,000 more teachers.

History / Are you proud of Polish colours? [27]


Nope. White represents chastity, honesty, truth. Those virtues were more popular than peace in the chivalric Middle Ages . :):):)


Nope. Red colour was the most expensive one to get in those times therefore the crimson background represents sumptuousness.

Yes, Germans are not as stiff as the stereotype says.

Thank you again for posting it.

Interesting excerpts:


spiegel.de/international/europe/poland-has-become-the-success-story-of-eastern-europe-a-834413.html

In 1989 Eastern Germans started their exodus from their communist paradise. As they were allowed to travel to other communist countries in the region, they came in thousands and stormed embassies of West Germany in such cities as Prague, Budapest and Warsaw.

6000 East Germans fled through Warsaw. Initially they were helped by common Poles, who offered food, blankets, accommodation. The police, still communist, didn`t intervene, even helped some refugees jump over the fence of the embassy. Then the new Polish government joined officially and took proper steps. As Poles refused to return Germans to their country, they were accommodated in 80 guest houses in and near Warsaw, then transferred to the West in so called freedom trains or by plane.

[i]Compared to Prague or Budapest, Germans in Warsaw could say they were lucky guys, say ex refugess who visit Poland to bring back past memories. They still remember hospitable Poles who came to aid.



Car parks in Warsaw were full of Trabants

Such scenes as in Czech Prague which was still a stalinist country at the time, didn`t happen in Poland.
Prague, Czech communist police are trying to stop the refugees.

Poles, as always, for freedom - ours and yours! :):):):):)

History / Are you proud of Polish colours? [27]


Never heard of it. :):):)
No, to the best of my knowledge, it is connected with the white-tailed eagle against accidentally chosen red background.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_Eagle



Some historians/biologists claim that it was the golden eagle that was copied onto the Polish coats of arms:

However, it is extremely interesting that Poles made their national symbol white



while other countries have it black or brown.

Holy shyt! I didn`t know about it!

That was right after the November Uprising 1831. Germans showed a lot of sympathy to Polish insurgents who crossed the Russian-Prussian border after the defeat. Poles were welcomed as heroes who dared to challenge the tyranny.

What wonderful time coincidence! Red and white were officially declared Polish national colours during the November Uprising!

During the uprising, the Sejm realized the need for unified national insignia that could be used by the Polish military. On February 7, 1831 it adopted white and red, the tinctures (colors) of the Polish and Lithuanian coats of arms, as the national cockade of Poland. The white-and-red cockade was henceforth worn by Polish soldiers in the November Uprising, as well as by participants of the Kraków Uprising of 1846, Polish freedom fighters in the Grand Duchy of Posen and the Austrian Empire during the Spring of Nations of 1848, and Polish insurgents during the January Uprising of 1863-1864. White and red colors were also used by civilians to show their protest against the Russian rule, as well as by people in France, Britain, Germany, Belgium and other countries as a sign of their sympathy with the Polish cause

We went on a picnic out of Krakow today. I had checked the route and the 1990s map said that a country lane leading to the forest was good only for bikes, but not cars. On the spot, I found out the country lane is an asphalt road. Yes, very narrow, but very good anyway.

It was modernised in 2010.

News / Should Poles care who becomes French President or is it irrelevant? [45]


Sarko took up an anti-immigrant stance recently.
French presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy has hardened his stance against immigration, claiming that France would exit Europe's open-border zone if the EU fails to clamp down on illegal immigration.

France will be the first country to suspend participation in the Schengen Area if no progress is made in curtailing illegal immigration in France, said incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy in front of cheering supporters at a Sunday campaign rally.

The gathering marked a key event in Sarkozy's presidential campaign, which with six weeks to go before polling day on April 22, has seen the incumbent's rhetoric focus more and more on immigration policy - much like his campaign five years ago, when he launched an anti-immigration drive in the run up to elections.
