News / What are Poland's optimal both real and virtual neighbors? [81]

The second one, that the residents of Kaliningrad aren't Polish is sufficient on its own.

For whom? It wasn't a barrier in the past, and it isn't at present.

The map of Europe seven hundred years ago is no basis for international borders today. Otherwise Britain would have a claim over half of France.

Not basis, but an additional argument.

Why do you think Poland's economy isn't growing, despite the views of economists?

Because I don't see that many changes in people's situation, and others reasons I don't care to write now, because I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment.

Sorry, I dunno how else you can interprete the figures I gave you

I'm aware of a fact that you don't know.

to show the economy has grown, year after year after year

Nope, it means that flow of monies has been growing, not necessary a good thing nowadays.

You are just acting as a spoiled little kid who wants his way

What would I possibly want eh?

Well, sorry to disappoint you ... the stats speak for themselves. Accept it.

not at all, statistics has no voice, phew!

News / What are Poland's optimal both real and virtual neighbors? [81]

the economy there is poor and the residents are not Polish.

those are not the only criteria,

They were invaded by Germany

They asked for it.

fought back at a cost of millions of lives.

So what ? if you play with fire you can get burnt, they are not innocent victims here.

You can only rgain something if it was actually yours.

It was,translating from XIV century relations into nowadays, yes it was.

it is one of the few places in Europe that is experiencing growth.

I don't call it grow, it just the way accountants are counting, it has a little to do with real economic state of affairs.

Poland

It only means that Poland is place where you can make money, not that people and economy is in a good shape, rather that is wider open to exploitation by a global capital, (we pay you - no?),.

So why take on another crumbling post-industrial city with no great links to Poland for centuries?

Well, if above stated reasons do not speak for itself, why not?

Tough. They won it fair and square

Did they ? Killing millions and enslaving hundred thousand millions to built military tyrannical power, then instigating WWII and then beating Germany, is fair according to you ?

Well, if Poland ever regain Królewiec , it will be very fair too.

Maybe I am wrong, but hasn't the Polish economy been growing since 1992 ... ?

In what way Polish economy been growing ?

What would be the practical purpose of taking on a city like Kaliningrad when Gdansk etc is crumbling economically?

Gdansk is crumbling is due to many factors, Poland economy had been shrinking anyway.
There two different issues, state of economy and territorial claims.

Why shouldn't Russia keep it?

Because Poland doesn't need a Russian beach-head at her borders.

Maybe, but is there really any great sentiment for it?

It is not about sentiments.

I understand Lithuania also feels they have a claim.

Lithuania feels that they have a claim to everything, they should respect rights of Poles in Lithuania or give the land back.

It is traditionally Poland's domain, Prusy region is not whole without Królewiec Region, plus Russia doesn't need that enclave for economical reasons,and Russian beech-head is not needed here.

As for powerhouse:
No country or region on its own is an economic powerhouse, but wise management and time, the region is a additional land and coastline.

History / What do Poles owe to Russians? [193]

Yeah Typical late commie approach. Definitely, we own them a good kicking and a century or two of occupation.
By the way, all those soviet types we one to Russian, those who rule in Poland now, we can easily afford and send them to Russia, their real motherland.

the catch is ...they don't want them....having plenty of crap.

I know I'm just taunting now, but ain't it great how Ironside is on here every day nonstop yet when challenged with a question he doesn't want to answer, he takes a vacation from PF?

Gee fuzz, don't take the internet that serious:)
Do you really think that your question could make me take a vacations from PF? That funny.....

In this case, calling out Ironside on his bull$hit.

No fuzz, I call you on your BS! I refuse to answer your question on principle - you do not understand my point!
From my point of view is immaterial whenever I have never set a foot on American soil, or for the matter lived there for a 10 years.

We were discussing issues about government and diplomacy, what the heck it has to do with pissing on Roosevelt monument or not?

Ironside being one of them.

Really ?

It's pretty pathetic.

I tell you what's pathetic, you defending government to the hilt, they must be paying you.

Just let it go Fuzz. You made your point. No need to go for the kill.

Did I miss something ? What point did Fuzz make, except signing American Anthem while somebody was suggesting that U.S. government can be wrong? Pissing his pants in ecstasy that he is a citizen of the great nation? Do you mean that point, sorry I call it white brainwashing.

Travel / The British YOBs are back in Polish towns [68]

Maybe the Polish could quit complaining about the British being supposedly so bad

Why should they not complain about stag parties and yob behaviour ?Are you condoning such behaviour?
What about the British complaining about Poles when they do not do anything bad? Double standards eh?

As for disorderly behaviour, it is up to the police to sort it out, it ain't that difficult eh?

On the other hand such behaviour was in the past exuded to some disreputable areas,inhabited by underclass and semi-criminal elements. Interesting that such behaviour seems to be spreading among population and can be encountered everywhere including town centres.
