It got me curious when you omitted Latvia in your list and I did some research. And rightfully so since it looks like Latvia may be in trouble as of 2018

"Other suggested honorees included Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, Albert Einstein and Marlene Dietrich (suggested by members of the Christian Democratic Union), Gustav Stresemann (nominated by the Free Democratic Party), and Otto Lilienthal (advocated by the Green Party)."

And no one has even nominated the Great Mustachio also known in history by the informal name of Adolf H., the greatest socialist leader of Germany. Germans forget their idols so easily :-)

The Berlin Brandenburg Airport is the single biggest mismanagement in the whole of Europe, yet it is still being financed.

And it was financed even against the EU rules. All EU members are equal, but some - like Germany - are more equal than others.

Shhh, Miroslaw don't reveal the cornerstone of the EU to a public opinion :-P

The EU, and the eurozone especially, was constructed that suits Germany and their economical needs and allowed them such an expansion in Europe. Eurocurrency benefits Germany and that's the fact.

The EU is also very handy tool of political oppression against its lesser members. Germany, which due to historical issues wants to appear publicly as a friendly and unthreatening nation, can convince less perceptive societies that is not them but the EU that makes key moves in Europe and is behind the unpopular decisions.

News / German legal discrimination against Polish speakers [209]


There are a few reasons for that:

>Illegal immigration to the EU encouraged by Germany in 2015 and the following actions of forcing other countries to take "their share" of illegals. Germany didn't ask anyone in the EU before making those decisions and then tried to forced the other to bend to their will with an economical blackmail

>Brexit and the British example. That's why the "core" of the EU wants to make it very hard for them to leave to discourage any other country who would like to follow Britits in the future.This may backfire right in the face of the EU, nobody likes to be bullied.

>Financial problems of the eurozone and increasing EU core [read: German] pressure on Italy

>Northstream II project which is opposed - within the EU - by Poland and Baltic countries

Does it mean that Germany doesn't have a plan for what's coming or quite on the contrary it does but it's not to our benefit?

Would that also mean that Germany would show the World its barbaric face once again?

Just a shy question: what in case, God forbid, the 1000-year EU collapse? European history knows such an incidents when the projects built for centuries collapsed much sooner, some even after just short 12 years :-)

But of course Poland would never do that. We surely wouldn't do what the Germans did with their 1940 Goering decree. We wouldn't reach such a low level. That would be uncivilised, savage even.

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]


In order for Poland to grow stronger some bureaucratic issues needs to be resolved. So there's a need sometimes to bring some issues to the table and to deal with them. We can't just tap ourselves on the shoulders and expect that it will fix itself.

No pain, no gain :-)

News / German legal discrimination against Polish speakers [209]


You'll twist it in any direction just to defend a losing cause, won't you? The word-equilibristic won't affect the reality you know.


Now I can see where that spark of intelligence of yours is coming from.

Germans in Poland are Polonized. Nor they cultivate any German traditions. Does it mean that Poland can striped them off their minority rights?

Another interesting question is: at what point we should stop considering them a minority in Poland?

At the beginning of the 90's around 300 000 Polish citizens has declared that they belong to 'German minority' and in the year 2011 only 150 000 did so.

ocdn.eu/pulscms-transforms/1/9s9ktkqTURBXy82YWUxY2RhOWFlNjk2Zjc4MjdlMWYyZGQzYWNjOTViNC5qcGVnkZUCzQMUAMLD

The minority is disintegrating by two factors: they are being assimilated within the Polish society and they are dying out at the same time.

Either way they won't be even an ethnic minority in Poland soon. So I think that the "German question" will just solve itself naturally

Even the votes for German minority representatives has halved in just 15 years between 1997-2011 in opole region which is a crib of 'German minority' in Poland:

w 1997 - 2 mandaty (16,96% głosów na Opolszczyźnie, 0,39% w skali kraju)
w 2001 - 2 mandaty (13,62% głosów na Opolszczyźnie, 0,36% w skali kraju)
w 2005 - 2 mandaty (12,92% głosów w województwie opolskim, 0,29% w skali kraju)
w 2007 - 1 mandat (8,81% głosów w województwie opolskim, 0,20% w skali kraju)
w 2011 - 1 mandat (8,50% głosów w województwie opolskim, 0,19% w skali kraju)

Most of those are legal graffiti. Some housing communities even pay graffiti artists to decorate the walls of their tower blocks to make them look nicer.

You have to admit thought, it looks cool, all right. 300 000 volkswagens dumped on the desert. And all of them were bought back from the owners. One of those 'only in America' moments :-)

Your point is not valid: the RuhrPolen, the Poles in Ruhr Metropolis moved there in XIX century and at the beginning of XX century. And even earlier than that (end of XVIII beginning of XIX century) in Rhineland.

No, it is actually a number of people working in public administration in Poland between 2000 and 2010

And that's how's it looked like in the EU in 2010 [percentage of public administration 'workers' in each country]



The US have a strong army of soldiers and the EU have an army of beaurocrats. EU 'stronk'

What we should do in Poland is to stick a plaque on every undeveloped piece of land that says: "on this piece of land there's nothing that's to the EU regulations". That would be far, so people could see also those things that were never built 'thanks' to the EU. They should see that the EU not only gives but it takes. The same should be written on those closed shipyards in Szczecin


My personal opinion is that the EU will not survive the next 20 years. But they are some optimist who think it will survive 1000 years, like a 1000-year III Reich :-P

Bureaucracy in Poland

Life / Graffiti problem in Poland [38]


It sure is.

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]


That's true. Beaurocracy doesn't produce value like industry or services do. And in most cases it even stops the other from doing things and building their businesses. Bureaucracy should be limited.

The problem is that the EU is a very bureaucratic body and they set a very bad example for the EU members and neither they have any motivation to fight beaurocracy.

History / Poland's WW2 Medal records? Polish Cross of Valour and the Bronze Cross of merit with swords [2]

Cross of Valor [Krzyż Walecznych] was awarded (well, still is) to those who did a heroic act of bravery. Most of them were awarded for the deeds done in Polish-Soviet war and WWII against Germany. I think it will be very difficult to find his actual deeds, unless he received more than one Cross of Valor then he may be on the list.

News / German legal discrimination against Polish speakers [209]

@Bratwurst Boy

"German nationals of Polish ethnicity in Upper Silesia had judicial status as a national minority[8] under the auspices of the League of Nations (likewise the Poles of German ethnicity in the Polish Silesian Voivodeship). After the rise of the Nazis, all Polish activities were systematically constrained, since mid-1937 also in Upper Silesia. However, in August 1939, the leadership of the Polish community was arrested and interned in the Nazi concentration camps of Sachsenhausen and Buchenwald. On 7 September 1939, shortly after the outbreak of World War II, the Nazi government of the 3rd Reich stripped the Polish community in Germany of its minority status. This was formally confirmed by Hermann Göring's decree of 27 February 1940."

So basically modern Germany follows Hitler's Nazi Law

Germany has felt politically and economically threatened by Hexagonale that's why they have initiated the dissolution of Yugoslavia. Basically, for the state in which Serbia is now you have to "thank" Germany

Germans are also concerned about the new Three Seas Initiative project but it has backing of the United States so they can't do nothing about it. Not that they won't try to jeopardise it

That is still the biggest patriotic manifestation in the whole of Europe, one that infuriates European mainstream left media such as BBC every year for some reason. Don't they believe in a human right of manifesting their own values? Shame on them.

And there are also local Independence marches and celebrations in Poland too, like a one Wroclaw and Poznan and so on

And remember that even a relatively small group of people with a strong conviction to their ideas can change whole society. It has happened many times in the past already.
