History / Poland obliged to make war reparations to Austria and Germany after WWI. Why? [119]

And you would look much more smarter if you would not reduce all things Prussia to some militaristic, baby eating, Pickelhauben as it had been so much more.

Oh it was, but it was only "by the way" - a real core of Prussia was her militaristic and authoritarian features!

Germany dominates Europe today without having fired a shot and not panzers on the streets.
Quite the contrary...everything military would destroy all that we build up. It's the economy - stupid! ;)
Times have changed for good (at least in Europe)...you should accept that sometime....somehow.

So why do don't you cut the crap with your Prussia, real Prussia or Prusians no longer exist, you just spread on some nostalgic BS!

Unfit to lead a new, re-unified, bigger, stronger Germany;)

yeah and militaristic Prussia where everybody knew his place, but always officers were somehow better in the eyes of common opinion and custom, where order must be carried out - regardless of its contend, where government and Kaiser were always right even if they had been wrong, yes I think that is good for a new stronger Germany, one, two - time to march in ranks BB!

New barracks of EU!

I think the Schengen members would have given a big hearty gut laugh if Poland made demands to enter the Schengen agreement.

**** them and **** EU !

Are you sure? What about all those Moorish people, Tartars, and others of questionable heritage?

Yes I'm ! those were much talked about but in numbers they were few! Moorish? you talking middle-ages the times when in American Indian ruled !:)

Only influence of less-white people in Europe you could notice in south Italy and Portugal due to its history !

Thats right, could explain connection you made between trading partner and visas to US?

it still amazes me how "vanilla" Poland is.

European country's used to be that way only 60 years ago!

Schengen law overrides Polish law.

To sum it up! Poland cannot introduce visas for U.S. citizens, because of Schengen law, on the other hand EU cannot resolve equal treatment of all EU (Schengen) country's by U.S.?

Answer me that delph, are they playing dumb or they they Poles for dummies?

Oh, I forgot about strong anti-Catholic (and anti-religious) sentiments here, intolerance, nasty comments, some kind of obsession

good point, they do not respect others, its some kind of fighting atheism with totalitarian affiliation.

I one thing that bugs me for some time - PennBoy comments about keeping Poland homogeneous.
Its evident that he doesn't know that much about Poland at last he doesn't understand Poles.
Why don't you keep Pennsylvania homogeneous or do something about it, Poland ain't country from Civilizations VI Game !

People who chose to join another nation are no longer Polish in anyway.

I think it is up to them to decide !You are not some kind of arbiter or judge to make those decisions for them! There is no need for that, and it is bureaucratic a way of thinking, I disagree with!

What I don't get is why there's so much venom here over something we all should be in agreement with, one way or the other we all feel something special about Poland

You are writing a lot but I don't really understand your complains.
On PF from about more or less 40 - 50 regular members, there is maybe like 6- 9 Polish onces, and I'm not talking about real Poles whatever it means but about people born and educated in Poland, holding Polish citizenship.

Delph is a Scot and Harry - Australian or whatever !
I do not perceive that venom you talk about, maybe you are oversensitive? All I can see is two foreign lunatics in Poland, havening a go at PolAmes ! Just ignore them!

Personally, I think that you are what you really think that you are if that makes any sense:)

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

I know people from almost every country in the world.

You now individuals from every country in the world, but they are foreigners in foreign country, their are not typical specimen of their society, they alter they behavior to fit in!

I'm asking about society and country other than Poland that you know all the customs and ways intimately as well as the language to make a credible comparison !

There are so many polish people in western world not admitting their descent.

Well, if someone is born in other county than Poland and spend all his life there I don't think there something unusual about that he/she doesn't consider himself/herself Polish!

No big deal!

History / My Great Grand father took part in the Battle of Warsaw! [90]

What makes you think so? My opinion is quite opposite.

Well, before Russia was country which in a way was developing naturally, and has every chance to evolve into powerful and rich country. Using her natural resources to the advantage of her citizens.

Bolshevism achieved monstrous and crippled Superpower- which was strong only in military might for a while! Build on countless bodies and by countless crimes, which wasn't really necessary.

natural phenomenon.

Noting natural in Bolshevism supported by German General Staff - all top revolutionistwere traitors of Russia!

Even Great Civil War had positive sides because it leveled population both in social (removing nobility) and ethnical (mixing various nationalities) aspects.

I don't think is positive, you are for homogeneous spineless blob - typical horde like civilization. A leader is a law and a rest is to obey or else!

I think that such country is primitive and hopeless in the long run.

Yea probably, but still, poles shouldn't give any reason for it.

I couldn't care less about opinion of insecure morons.
As for Polish jokes, speaking seriously, there only two country's which have stereotyping jokes about Poles - USA and Germany!
What more, Germany has also few negative as well as positive stereotypes about Poles!Which is in a way understandable being enemies and all!
In case of USA you have only those jokes - that phenomena is interested in itself- question arise why mass media in U.S. did keep so called jokes alive and kicking for decades !

Well, maybe but I don't think that behavior of individual Poles translate to opinions about them abroad. Any given ethnicity has ample proportion of morons, criminals or as-holes, if you are ashamed of your nationality, .......!

No, It's about whining. Poles are experts in whining about how bad things are.

Oh! Do you have intimate knowledge of other nationality's to compare and form an credible opinion?

what Poland has that can compete with IKEA?

What do you want to compare? I don't think that way !
I know that Sweden have nothing much to show in their museums than items and treasures they robbed in Poland in XVII century.

here in Sweden, when something is of bad quality you sometime say " omg that thing was so polish ".

I suggest that you give back all polish things from your museums and castles, which will live them half empty! You can always replace them with Swedish things of highest quality from IKEA!

have always complained about their own country

Striving for perfection even if only verbally!

giving other nationalities the "right" to joke.

Only to insecure morons !

I am Russian, so they were.

Ah! You are being tribal ! Well, Russia is not well known for tribalism but why not give it try.
However, I think that Bolshevisms was a very harmful to Russia.

History / Silesia occupation [49]

Interesting if anyone is rattling round Germany using a title from Slask.

I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised. Germans produced surplus of titles !
