Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

The real reason is for people with low Self-esteem to build themselves up at other peoples expense not caring if it's true or not, just like what they hear.

BINGO.

Yes I think any fair minded person knows this.

99% of non-Polish people who tell Polish people that they should "not be offended" at jokes against Polish people, would be the first to be offended at similar degrading jokes against their ethnic background.

There is a good reason why Polish-Hater NBC-TV boss George Schlatter who was one of the first Anti-Polish Media bigots to introduce subhuman intelligence jokes about Poles into the US, NEVER pushed into the US, jokes about his Jewish ethnicity as people who look and act like rats.

Left-winger George Schlatter never put comedy bits or Jewish jokes about Jews looking and acting like rats because he did NOT want this anti-Jewish imagery injected into the minds of the American people.

But imagery of Polish people having subhuman/inferior intelligence was something he had no problem injecting into the American audience that saw his stupid show. Unfortunately in the 1960's and 70's there were only a few TV networks so large portions of the American public had little choice but to watch these anti-Polish shows by the 60's and 70's Anti-Polish Network Media Bigots.

According to the Polish American Guardian Society, George Schlatter admitted that if the American public saw one show after another about Polish people being ridiculed with subhuman intelligence jokes, that that would CONDITION the American public to have a lower opinion of Polish people.

Its not exactly rocket science to figure this out. Anyone with a brain knows that TV imagery is very powerful in influencing the human mind. This is why companies and politicians spend millions of dollars for commercials that shape opinion on themselves.

TV imagery is a very powerful medium in shaping opinions and unfortunately for Polish people, most of the time in the US, it was used maliciously against Polish people.

then again, people with high self-esteem don't get upset about stupid jokes and even if they do, they laugh about it to show that they don't care and this kind of reaction usually kills the joke really quick.

LOL

What a bunch of nonsense.

It KILLS NOTHING. A person seen as taking/accepting an insult ONLY sets himself up for more insult jokes.

A person of any ethnic background who acts in such a way where he accepts the ethnic insult joke, is only putting a KICK ME, I ENJOY IT sign on himself. Why would any human being want that???

Why would any human being want to be treated like he is any lesser of a human being just because there are these bigots in Hollywood who maliciously used their media to tell the rest of the public that they are and say that the ethnic group (Polish people) they hate are second class citizens?

Why should people of any ethnic group go along with what the malicious things the media has been saying about them?

First the Polish Haters in the media bombarded the brains of the American people with propaganda that Polish people have subhuman/inferior intelligence and then when they saw they couldn't do that anymore (after Polish people spoke out) they went to PHASE 2 and started to bombard the American public with big lies about

"Polish Death Camps"

Any fair minded person with a brain can see that there clearly was and is a media ANTI-POLISH HATE CAMPAIGN going on against the Polish people so WHY SHOULD any Polish person accept it?

Whether its Media Anti-Polish propaganda about Polish people having subhuman intelligence or that the Polish built the death camps.

Why should ONLY the Polish people be good sports about all this malicious media hatred and bigotry against them??

Would Jews accept this?

Would Blacks accept this?

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Thats a very stupid way to put it to be honest. A sign of how great a person can be is their ability to rise above it.

Name some Jews, Blacks and Russians who "rised above" insult jokes about them being animals?

Nice subhuman intelligence joke about Poles. Do you know any jokes about Jews, Blacks or Russians being subhumans?

Thats a very stupid way to put it to be honest. A sign of how great a person can be is their ability to rise above it. It's only a joke for god sake and only Poles would take them to heart. Stop crying about them and have a laugh back. Some of the best comedy ever made was due to the fact that people were about to poke fun at themselves and their peers.

No that's not putting it in a stupid way at all. That's putting it in a realistic way.

These are INSULT JOKES against Poles. Don't you get it? The purpose of them was to CONDITION the American public to believe that Polish people have less than human intelligence and to then treat Polish Americans accordingly. When there were Polish Americans being treated like they had inferior intelligence by non-Polish Americans, the NBC-bosses that started these hate jokes against Polish people were having a big laugh at the expense of the Polish people.

The key NBC-TV boss who was doing this was George Schlatter. The interesting thing about George Schlatter was that he also had Jewish jokes in his TV shows like "Laugh-In", but they were always MILD. No jokes about Jews looking and acting like rats. NOW why do you think that might be? Can you say hypocrite? LOL

But the Polish-Hater NBC-TV Boss George Schlatter got a big kick hearing people on the streets of America repeating the same subhuman intelligence jokes about Polish people his TV shows were cranking out.

Nobody is crying about anything. Polish people just don't like insult jokes that put the imagery of Polish people having inferior intelligence into people's mind and then having those people act upon those notions and then treat Polish people like their second class citizens.

So name some Jewish comedians who poke fun at themselves with jokes about Jews looking like rats and acting like rats? Can you name some for me?

Name me some successful Black comedians who make jokes about Blacks looking like apes and acting like apes. Can you name some for me?

Name some successful Russian comedians making jokes about Russians being backward mongols who are the offspring of animals. Can you name some for me?

Name me some great Jewish, Black and Russian people who "rised above" jokes about them being animals??

They don't tell you anything but that the person making them don't deserve your interest. If you are overly offended by them then take issue, but generally it just means that you don't have much self confidence or respect, as people who do have wouldn't give too much of a toss about them.

What a bunch of crap.

Go tell this to Jewish people who don't want to hear jokes about Jews looking and acting like rats.

Go tell this to black people who don't want to hear jokes about blacks looking and acting like apes.

Go tell this to Russians who don't want to hear jokes about Russians being backward mongols who are the offspring of animals.

The few times I have told people telling "Polish jokes" that they are offensive, I always got a positive reaction from them. They respected me for standing up for Polish people. These same people seemed to have no respect for those Poles that don't defend themselves against insult jokes.

Or maybe they have no self respect and therefore don't mind other people disrespecting them with insult jokes and hence are too cowardly to defend themselves... and like walking around with a "Kick me I'm Polish" sign on themselves.

Some people go through life looking for acceptance by others by being a verbal punching bag for their peers, while others don't.

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Yeah the so called "Polish jokes" are hilarious until non-Polish Americans start treating these Polish Americans like they're "Polish jokes" LOL. At least as in the so called "Polish jokes" that portray Polish people as having subhuman/inferior intelligence.

The Pierogi and Kielbasa Polish jokes are OK but I don't know too many Polish Americans that like the subhuman/inferior intelligence jokes about Polish people that were introduced into the US in the 1960's. The subhuman intelligence jokes about Polish people were simply renamed "Polish jokes" by Hollywood and the Lefty TV networks like NBC-TV when they were introduced into the US decades ago. I don't know any Polish American groups that like them.

News / Medvedev in Poland [28]

One cannot trust a Russian. Cheats and crooks, all of them.
Just pretend you get lost and try to ask a Russian about directions. Ask three of them, in a row. You'll get three separate, convoluted routes, each will lead you in quite different a place, none of it even close to a site where you wanted to go.
One cannot trust a Russian. They'll cheat you with a friendly smile.

I think there is good and bad people from all nations.

I give Medvedev credit for coming to Poland and meeting with Polish leaders in trying to improve Russia-Poland relations.

News / Victory in 'anti-Polish camps' campaign in US [170]

For me, it's utter nonsense to use religious tags. One thing that is rarely mentioned is that while Jews might have been exterminated in Poland, they were still citizens of Poland.

What do Jews being exterminated in Nazi German and Soviet Russian controlled Poland have to do with their citizenship?

Very interesting topic PennBoy.

Its nice to see a victory by Polish Americans & Poles with some of their allies (like the Jewish American Committee) in fighting Anti-Polish Bias in a certain element of the media.

History / Poland, Lacking External Enemies, Turns on Itself [106]

So - MediaWatch - do you believe that there isn't a hard political split in Poland, similar to the USA?

I can ask the same of you. Did you actually read what I wrote?

I clearly said that the article spoke mostly about how Poland was divided. Where did I say I denied that there are divisions in Poland?

WHERE did I call myself a Patriot of Poland??

Shame on you for not actually reading what people actually say and not what you think they say.

History / Poland, Lacking External Enemies, Turns on Itself [106]

Stu

Look at the title. "Poland, Lacking External Enemies, Turns on Itself". That's a ridiculous title and its the insolent opinion of the New York Times Anti-Polish Leftists.

There will be many people who won't read the whole article and just skim through it and just remember the silly title.

The article could easily been titled something like "Despite good economic times, Poland is a divided nation". I think that would have been a fair title since most of the article was about how Poland has a good economy while it has its divisions.

Don't listen to the New York Times is a Jewish paper only talking bs about Poland

Yes take with a grain of salt what the Leftist-Jewish New York Times Newspaper says about Poland. It is no friend of Poland and that's putting it mildly. It will take grains of truth and then twist it to make Poland look as bad as possible.

This is the same Anti-Polish Idiot newspaper that has referred to Nazi German deaths camps put in Poland as "Polish Death Camps", dozens of times. Even after it got many complaints from Polish groups about this term.

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

It depends on what kind of "Polish joke" you're talking about. There were Pierogi, Keilbasa, stubborn and subhuman intelligence jokes about Polish people. The latest version of "Polish jokes" of Polish people having subhuman intelligence was introduced by Hollywood in the 1960's with the help of big media.

NBC boss and Polish-Hater George Schlatter in the 1970's bragged about how suhbuman intelligence jokes about Polish people renamed "Polish jokes" would be used to condition the American public to perceive Polish people as having inferior intelligence and even make some Poles feel that way, if their brains keep getting bombarded with repetitive "Polish jokes" by his TV shows like "Laugh-In", etc.

George Schlatter bragged about how his TV shows would impact American culture to his personal whims. And it did to a certain degree.

This is what people in the US think about this. They're laughing at us in Poland.

Actually I don't think Colbert was that hard on Poland. He could have said worse things about Poland. If it was years ago, he probably would have. He was also making fun of Americans and people making big statues in general. Although I will admit there was somewhat of an Anti-Christian overtone in his presentation.

But he does this with just about every big news event in any place in the world. He can take the most mild story and exxagerate it.

News / WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER? [197]

Hindsight is one thing, but reckless stupidity is another thing. There was absolutely nothing that suggested that the Warsaw Uprising would succeed at that time, apart from trust in Stalin of all people.

According to today's hindsight information that may be true when we all have had years and years to look over the strengths and weaknesses of each country. Its also not like you had CNN or satellite information sizing up what's going on in a country back then.

Nobody in the West let alone Poland, had accurate information on the strength of the Nazi German army. The Warsaw uprising initially was successful. So you're lying when you say there was "absolutely nothing" to suggest that the uprising might be successful. They held out for 63 days against the Nazi War machine which was no small task.

I believe the Poles would have held out much longer if not freed part of their country if the stupid Russians didn't ARM TO THE TEETH AND FEED the Nazi war machine for the first two years of the war. That was disgraceful and STUPID. Today we know that Hitler was desperate to strike a deal with Soviet Russia because he knew Russia would be stupid enough to give his Nazis 2 years of WAR MATERIAL AND FOOD which the Nazis desperately needed if they were going to fight a prolonged war. Hitler knew his Nazi army had no more then a month or so of supplies.

Much of the bombs dropped on Poland and England were Nazi bombs made with Russian war material. Way to go Russia!!! How stupid of Russia.

Russians stupidly collaborate with Nazi Germany and pump over a million tons of war material and Food into the Nazi war machine. Russians stupidly take food from Ukraine, starve most of the Ukainians and then give the food to the Nazis. Most of the Nazi war material was later used on Russia by Nazi Germany

Why would Russia's hero Stalin TRUST Hitler of all people??????? Its because of that stupid Russian foreign minister Mr. Molotov that the Nazi Germany - Russia Friendship pact was signed. It was called the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed.

I'm amazed you didn't know about the wide cooperation between the AK and the Red Army - support that was offered freely to the Soviets!

Yes you would know about the Red army LOL

I'm amazed that you ignored by comment before that basically agreed with your point that there was cooperation between Poles and the Red army at one point. But then again you are a troll.

Did the Poles really have a choice in the matter in having Soviet imposed communism in Poland or not after 1945?

Yes. If they hadn't wasted a lot of good people in the pointless Warsaw Uprising.

Yes yes woulda coulda shoulda. Yes this coulda happened here and then this shoulda happened there which then may have done this or that LOL

Hindsight is always 20/20 for armchair generals like yourself.

In my opinion the US should have nuked Moscow while we had the bomb and they didn't. That way milions of innocent people would not have suffered and died at the orders of those Moscow savages after 1945.

Just look at the suffering they created during the Holdomor where 9 million Ukrainians were killed by Moscow's orders. I wonder if Moscow ever apologized for that??

News / WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER? [197]

Yes, exactly. Your reply confirms my whole point. Polish people supported the Red Army. In 1922 they kicked them out, in 1945 they embraced them. There was opposition to the Reds, there was a civil war in Poland and the Polish communists won. Communism in Poland was Polish communism.

The Polish people supported the Red Army initially only because they helped get rid of the Nazis and promised to leave Poland.

"Polish Communism" would have never existed if the Soviet Union did not exist.

Mr Grunwald:
Later of course they knew what had happened...

Yes, after losing fifty years of economic growth. Poles need to admit that they saddled the wrong horse (but of course they won't admit it).

LOL

Any horse that was saddled was because they had a Soviet gun to their head. Don't tell me you didn't know that?

Did the Poles really have a choice in the matter in having Soviet imposed communism in Poland or not after 1945?

You mean to tell me the Poles could have told the Soviet soldiers, enforcing communism in Poland, to go home without any problems??? LOL

Why do we have so many Bolshevik sympathizers in this forum??

Beats me how you can use the term "Polish American" if your homeland is America, though.

Beats me why you can't understand such a simple thing.

Its really not worth explaining the obvious to you.

You always make a big deal out of nothing.

Well Delphiandomine even you said in an earlier post that the Key Financial Decision makers in Poland like the Polish Banking authorities, handled the money/banking issues in a conservative way which helped the economy. That's what I was talking about when I spoke about Polish frugalness (you can maybe say a term used loosely).

It wasn't the banking authorities that decided this - it was the banks themselves. Bearing in mind that all but two banks are foreign owned (and one of the Polish banks absolutely must play it safe by virtue of who they are) - "Polish frugalness" had nothing to do with it. It was simply a lucky break caused by specific market conditions in Poland.

These comments of yours is just more of the same from you.

Yes yes nothing good or positive happening to Poland or Poles is because of the Poles themselves LOL

I'm sure the good job you claim you have in Poland (I would think a smart guy like you would only pick a good job) has nothing to do with Poles or Poland either. LOL

If in fact you really live in Poland

Frankly I think you would much be happier living in Russia based on all your Pro-Russia/Anti-Polish comments of the past.

I care more about what the key financial decision makers do there then anyone else, since naturally they have the biggest impact.

Despite the flaws of Poland's government, the fact that Poland resisted the world wide recession relatively well, I think speaks well of the frugal nature Poles have in general.

I think there are Poles out there with their "tight with a dollar" mindset which has served them well when their counterparts in other countries were spending like it was one big party.

That probably has a bit more to do with it.

But what's the point? Tusk speaks German. If anything, that would probably be a plus for Poland.

I agree with you. I think its good Prime Minister Tusk speaks German.

In my opinion, the more Poles that can speak German, or any other language, the better. It never hurts to have an understanding of other countries and cultures, especially those who are your neighbors who you deal with more than others.

Polands development is stalled because the parties that have been in charge over the last election cycles can't manage to pass any meaningful legislation. That's my vote.

You're probably right.

Its been the same story here in the US.

errrr but come to think of it, maybe it might be worse here since bad legislation, like the Obama "Healthcare" plan.....was just passed :(

The other way is imposing a germanic elite which would undertake the management and smoothen the relationships to other Germanic countries.Being first class in EU is synonymous to be Germanic and Slavs are not recognized as members of the ruling class.

Hmmmm

So with that understanding in mind, do you think its a coincidence that the Polish Prime Minister Mr. Tusk speaks German? :D
