News / Poland - the least liked German neighbour. [210]

Well...I'm one of those...
And I have to say I grew rather fond of a handfull of Poles I met and interacted with...

and my family has German heritage, only good and positive things about German stuff but we are very anti-Germany in the sense of Germany the state! ;p

(Well we got to we live among Poles, they would crucify us if we weren't!! ;p)
That's why my family went on with uprisings beign in solidarity and everything. To prove our Polishness ;)

Can even remember that in the hallways in my school there were pictures of a tour trip to Germany the school had done and there was a giant black German eagle. I made sounds of spitting every time I went past it in disrespect. Of course after I get to know I have similar political opinion like Angela Merkel and that Germany is the savior of Europe in bad days I had to restrain a bit ;)

Although going back to topic I can remember a class of Germans coming to our class in Warsaw (Polish class) and my colleagues were joking about making "hail Hitler" in front of em. But they never really did it (maybe because they lacked support from my side idk). The Germans were not that much to communicate as they were only allowed to talk in German, and so were we (as this was part of the German lessons). I was the only one able to grab some words and guess what they were talking about since I could speak Norwegian. While the others just couldn't grasp their conversations.

As what I got from they didn't say anything negative about Poland, but a years can't wipe out people opinions so I guess there are many that doesn't know about Poland as BB says, and some that are not that quite fond of it either.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

They survived Hitler solely because he decided to kill the Jewish Poles before the Christian Poles.

Excuse me, but Poles were murdered and being shot at while the Jews didn't get too much as the Nazi's waited until 1941 cause they didn't wan to anger "The Jewish-commie-Soviet people"

Even then Poles weren't much spared.

All the babcias were collaborating?!

Supposedly by just accepting that the Soviets had the power in Poland meant they were collaborating ;) and I mean BIG TIME! Serving in "Urząd Bezpieczeństwa" was just a little drop in the sea compared to the Babcia's collaborating with the commies :O

*Sarcasm off*

Harry really...

History / WWII - who really was the first to help Poland? [900]

Japan, Germany, Italy, same thing basically.

Bullocks and utter bullocks! Japan and Germany were never on good foot. Especially when Hitler signed a non-aggression pact with Soviet Union! The Japanese felt betrayed and signed one with the soviets also! When the time came the Japanese din almost to nothing to support Germany with attacking the Soviet Union. One of the reasons for Hitler to declare war on U.S.A was to better the relationship. (Also he considered to be at war with U.S.A already as you mentioned earlier the American Navy was sinking German U-Boats)

Also thinking of the topic I would say Great Britain with Churchill's commando's and supply deliveries to insurgents or "partisans"

Unless you might think of Hungary that let entire military units go through her territory (Italy did the same to a certain extent) and letting the Polish embassy work at her territory until 1943 (or was it 1944?) I think that Germans walked in.

News / Poland and Kresy being reunited? [162]

Wasn't it originally Churchill that proposed giving Poland several German lands? (As he thought Poland would lose her "Kresy" anyway)

BB if you gotta complain to anyone it's Churchill ;) (That damn bugger)

He said even Polish bureaucracy is friendlier.

That's impossible, he must have been drunk!

Life / As EuroPride visits Warsaw - is it the start of overdue social change in Poland? (homosexuality promotion) [144]

Most of you homophobic people on here were taught that being Gay is wrong in church

Hahahahha lol

Who is indoctrinated? lol

Not once did Jesus say being gay was wrong...

No but a marriage is between a man and a women and they better stay out of talking about that

And the Irony is that Most of Poland is Catholic.

Well 55% or is most so you are correct

And the Catholic priests are the ones always molesting boys...

You better be careful with that there are stories about protestant and other religious nuts too, also don't you dare call my priest that! He was a very nice and understand fella

hardly any other men do that..

No comment

Just the priests who tell you gay is wrong.

Sorry but my gut feels it from the bottom of it, my stick get hard when I see a women not a man, and when that happends and if sex happends then there will be a baby, then that baby will grow up and etc and life will carry on. Sorry for not getting the picture correctly?

Paedophiles are mostly straight,

That one I can agree on

and mostly are someone the child knows in the family.

Actually I know an incident of an family that had somethign like that, but I am not discussing it. But I would wait until I get some proper statistics tho :)

(sarcasm on) and what is it with you and having your dad indoctrinating you all your life? That is an abomination right? You gotta think for yourself! Those teachers too! They indoctrinate everything + the media! Grab yourself a glass of water and empty it over your head (Sarcasm off)

UK, Ireland / The secret Polish gay men in the U.K [133]

gay people don't need anymore rights,

Why should they need anymore rights? I treat them as any other citizen, if I saw hetropfiles walking down in parades in nothing and disgusting outfits and when meeting them saying "Hey I love to bang girls" I wouldn't like them at all!

Some things are to be meant to be kept behind closed doors!

Find the key to the closet?

I almost got it, I just can't get it fully. When was it that a closet had a locker? :S

.maybe with long blonde hair and looking sexy:)

Well if they don't behave like those pricks that's ok
Had 2 non-straight coming to my School once (allowed by the School rolls eyes)
and showed some pictures and wanted to talk with me, I just thought get out of my life!!!
And at top of that some girls from my class asked: Why can't we call god for allighty mother?
I wanted to shoot myself

USA, Canada / What do Polish people think about Canadians? [44]

WOW a real nationalist! pure polish and hate everyone else...good job!

That's chauvinism not Nationalism, god dammit

All in all I know their good at Hockey :)

Well, Ironside is pretty much right about this ;)

Well that what's I thought at least

I barely hear about them in the US and I doubt barely anyone hears about them in Poland

In Poland one doesn't care much what happens out broad. One doesn't start a huge debate about it, but there is a lot of comments like "They do that in that place, thank god we don't do it"

Life / Importance of Religion in Poland [187]

Methinks the Church also needs Feminism.

I understand why some people ask why don't we call God for Holy mother?
But why on earth do you come with that sentence?! :/

Life / Importance of Religion in Poland [187]

- but religion indoctrinates, science does not.

Really? So nobody is indoctrinated that our forefathers were apes and that the world begun from a giant rock clashing into oblivion? Big bang?

Just because a red light comes up instead of a green one doesn't mean something is thousands years old...

But you can live without religion perfectly well...

Only here on earth :)

Life / Is Poland split into two religions: catholicism and non-believers? [103]

Protestant church apart from a Catholic one? ;)

Here in Norway there is a lot of Catholic churches used by Protestants... I find it amusing :)
Although inside them it's different ;)

(people dont give £30/£40 per week more like £2 - £5 - plus price of candles) if you ask me.

Ive always given just around 10-20 NOK or 2-5 Złoty :(
But when I get a real normal life THEN I will give a lot more away :)

Life / Importance of Religion in Poland [187]

- well both fish and vitamins you can check in a lab or if you trust science -

Since I was little I didn't even know what a scientist was :)

- I would need proof. Nothing more.

That is why Religion doesn't suit you I guess? ;)

I can't see the air, doesn't it mean it doesn't exist? :)

But then Paul opened up membership to non-Jews.

Isn't it allowed for people from other cultures, ethnicity's to become Jewish? :o

Where did that idea come from? It couldn't have been from us.

Yes ofcourse but it is a branch of Judaism then for it self, old testament comes to my mind.

Life / Importance of Religion in Poland [187]

- wrong - what about much older religions in the world?

"The only Church"
That's not a good enough hint?

- you've been waiting for 2000 years and nothing. Maybe he's not gonna show up, or is he being that late?

You need him in an actual form of an human being?

- oh, come on, this sounds like "I was taught to think that way, and I've had no desire to think outside the box since then".

My dad told me that Fish is healthy, is it untrue? :o
Ive also been taught that Vitamin-C is necessary

- nicely put, but if you want the source then you should be Jewish.

...
Jews still await the Messiah, in practical sense Christians are Jews whom accepted Jesus as the Messiah whom was to come.
