Life / Poland and every aspect..... Please help me learn and understand the realities? [108]

Thank you boletus,It is not to garner information the quick impatient American way;)I would welcome any answer as it will give me more knowledge than I have now.I will ask every kind of question as this thread evolves.I expect to get more sources as well.I want more than just an academic understanding.For some reason I retain knowledge better if acquired through discussion.If you would in your own words,tell me about the early Piasts?

Stryzga,no,but thank you for the link.I will check it out though.I set this thread up so that I can ask specific questions which will draw out insight as well as give me an academic understanding of Polish issues across the board,There is really no set pattern to this thread.I'm hoping to get questions answered and information not asked for which in turn will spawn new questions:)Anything type of information that you would like to contribute would be very much appreciated indeed:)

Bullfrog,was there a strong resistance from any of the tribes?

Teflcat,all your questions are welcome and I hope that they get answered.I will learn more about Poland.I want to understand all aspects,not just History or Politics.I want to attain enough working knowledge to be able to contribute to Polish discussions,I am fascinated by Poland and the reason I joined PF is so that I could learn about her.

Bullfrog,was Poland originally feudal and then at some point unified,Is this the case with Piast?btw.thank you.

Ok,So it's starting to come together;I've learned about name day,which previously I had no idea there was a name day.I got a few facts about Polands past.I have no Idea how Poland's Monarchic system operated.It was interesting to learn that Her kings were elected by the nobility.If any one wants to volunteer information that hasn't been asked for this would be cool.

Lol,thank you,I was asking how Poland came to be,was it once feudal states or regions and then unified by a strong man or king?Please tell me in you're words?I appreciate it.Yes this is why I set this up so that we can talk all about every aspect of Poland,right now the focus is on History.

rybniiiik! rybniiiik!,I need your help on my thread,I would like to ask you questions about Poland if you wouldn't mind?

pip,Thank you,I love Michner and I had that book,but lost it,I will read it though.I want to discuss with expats,citizens and Polonia.I feel that I will get a better understanding than I would ever get in texts.Michner gives beautiful crash courses in his his Historic Fictional books and that will give me a nice base.

Thank you for responding guys,sorry that I haven't responded back to you,but I was busy today and away from my computer.What I would like to know is how did Poland originally come to be,was it at first feudal state or regions that one man unified?I can read about this stuff,but I learn best by conversing and especially with the people on here that have so much knowledge in all things Polish.Teflcat,As for specificity,As this thread goes along I will ask questions and some may be on a whim.Goofy the_the_dog,feel free to throw in at any time you like on this question.

I have been on PF for a little while now and I have seen some very good discussions about Poland;I just wish that I could learn more about Poland and be able to join in on these discussions.If I don't know about a subject I will not join in on the conversation.I'm especially interested in Polish Politics.I've seen some very insightful discussions from both sides of the issue.I am very interested in learning about the culture and the stories behind festivals and holidays etc.History is also what I would like to learn about,as I have described in the title,every aspect,So if members would be so kind to as to indulge me,I would really appreciate it.Thank you.

History / Memos show US hushed up Soviet crime against Poland [97]

Pawian,as much as I hate to admit it,you are absolutely correct and it is sad that America has covered for the Soviets when it suited our purpose.Ironside,I also agree with you;as I have known about this for quite a while,in fact this has been discussed on here before.I guess this is about official recognition of the fact.

USA, Canada / Who is better informed, the expat or the Polonia crowd? [144]

strzyga,If he is devout then I'm assuming that this would be a movie he wouldn't watch.As for the topic;I often stay a way from discussing issues about Poland as I don't know enough about Poland to give an informed opinion on the subject.For now I read the threads and will eventually ask questions so that I can be better informed.If I do give an opinion then it will be because I know what I'm talking about.

I myself would rather ask expats or Polish citizens about issues pertaining to Poland by and large.There are Polonia that are well informed and have a text book understanding,but it's not the same as someone who lives or has lived there.They can give you the reality.

News / Czech drug legalisation threatens Poland [111]

seanBM,I agree as you notice that I mentioned the more hardcore drugs.You can't compile them altogether.Not the same at all.

News / Czech drug legalisation threatens Poland [111]

Harry,I agree,but if the motivation behind legalizing it is taxing it,then I don't see Poland doing the same thing.Companies will be set up to make a profit,So I don't see how this will benefit Poland to do this.We have methadone clinics in the U.S. and a big problem is that a lot of junkies use other drugs to enhance it and this has led to crime.I don't know the motivations as to why Poland wants to legalize drugs and there are other hardcore drugs besides heroin and I don't see Poland giving out all manner of drugs,but I could be wrong.

News / Czech drug legalisation threatens Poland [111]

One problem I can see with the legalization of drugs is,I'm not so sure that it would cut down that much on crime.What happens when a junkie can't afford to buy any more?He will spend every penny he has on it just as they do now.When he runs out of money he will commit crimes to support his habit,whether by robbing people or stealing from or robbing the place where it is dispensed at.I don't see this changing that much,Just as hardcore alcoholics will steal bottles from a store if he can't afford it.
