I didn't know that though: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German-American_Steuben_Parade


In Germany there is not much known about the German-Americans....they are all Amis to us! ;)

It's all about those ukrainian cigarettes...

History / WWII - Wolf's Lair. Valkyria operation had place in Poland's bunker complex. [11]


First anger, horror, incomprehension...then disgust and hate for the traitors who were seen as back stabbers as so many german soldiers fighted and died on the fronts.

That seems to be the prevalent emotion as he saw it....I think we can safely conclude from that
Hitler would had come out as a martyr in their minds.

I recently read an interesting interview with one relative of the plotters.
He was on the Eastern front as the news came over the radio to the troops...he remembers that practically ALL his comrades were utterly dumbstruck and speechless. Feeling only absolute disgust...how could someone do to this to the leader....emotions run high.

He later learned that his uncle got hanged for it.

That's a good survey about the change of the attitudes about membership, life situation and everything of the new EU-members since their accession and now...some finds are quite surprising:

Slavija without Russia but with Scotland and Wales??? I'm not sure it's that what Crowie has in mind! :)

God Kysia, get a grip on your emotions! *backs away slowly*

My comment was about your notion that Poles lack generally the complaints-about-immigrants-like-the-Brits comment.

To this I tried to remind you that Poland till now never experienced the masses of immigrants like Great Britain or other countries in Europe do/did, so you just can't know how they will react once Poland get's a place on the want-to-go-there-list of masses of third worlders.

Next time you are about to fire another anti-german grenade you should be sure what your "enemy of the day" really said!

History / Ukrainians working in Poland in the 90s [34]


Erm...Kysia?
What did I say wrong???

It's still a fact that more people leave Poland in search of work than the other way around.
The same holds true for most would-be immigrants from the third world...

My error was what exactly?


Huh???


Wot????

History / Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]


I'm not quite sure what you are talking about in the first place...;)

But I would prefer if you would bring some evidence like links and such and not only
unfounded opinons, thank you!

History / Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]


Lot's of 'skis in Germany....long history of polish immigration to Germany over the centuries!
Additionally Polonia in Germany is the biggest in Europe...

History / Ukrainians working in Poland in the 90s [34]


Nope...possible protestors were elsewhere in Europe....looking for work....;)


When you become an attractive country for would be immigrants and they are beginning to swarm you like Western Europe....we can talk again!


Poles and Russians are both Slavs too....so they get along easily too?


Yeah....two world wars! Beat that love!!!

History / Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]

Any links to those "unbelievable" amounts?

And there had been likewise lot's of "skis" who fought bravely FOR Nazi-Germany...

You call history back till the 16th century pre-historic??? Interesting.... :)


Nope, all these german artists and merchants which made the towns so beautiful and prosperous were most successful till their polonization.
And the polonization is synchronous with the end of Polands Golden Age...coincidence?

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]


Nope..main reason was that the labor marked of GB was open for polish workers whereas those of Germany and France and others were still closed.


Nah, they are German! ;)

Germany takes Great Britain over at last! (Okay...abit long winded way and it took awhile but still....)

News / Shouldnt Poland be invited into the G-20? [7]

I've read up about it and I too think that Poland could surely be "in"....but as I already posted the G-20 have already several EU-countries AND the EU as a whole...it should be hard for yet another EU-member to get an extra place..

From Europe in the G-20 are already: France, Germany, Italy, UK, Russia + the whole EU!

(I wonder about countries like Mexico and Argentina though....I don't count them more important economies than Poland)

News / Shouldnt Poland be invited into the G-20? [7]


You are in....in the EU slot!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-20_major_economies
g20.org/about_faq.aspx

I don't think that Poland's economy isn't good enough it seems rather that the economy isn't everything for the G-20.

I rather think that it will be hard for yet another EU-member state to get yet another "extra-place"....as the G-20 are already 19+EU.

Now I just need an adress and I'm coming to the party! :)

Language / 'MOZNA' - When is this used? [27]


Well, Poles for surely not....as there were no Slavs in this territory at that time.


When you don't count the Holy Roman Empire of the german Nation, for a millennia (962 - 1806)...


Wot??? :):):)

I understand "trying to survive" as not knowing where and how to get some food on the table for the children tomorrow....and no, in the West there are enough state welfare and private charity organizations to help out. Nobody has to become criminal to survive here.

If he does he does so for own lower reasons...

His dignity, his pride? His integrity???

Well....maybe he never had it then.
In our rich western societies nobody has to become a criminal to survive, period!
Just to be able to get the newest electronical gadget quicker than through work is NOT a reason.

(In Germany we have special social workers who run around and try to get the homeless people from the streets into state run homes, they would get all the help they need, from food to medical services etc. - many just don't want help! You can't always blame the state.)
