Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

To be honest with you I don't know too much about these types of things, so what you say about Ondines and Selkies being part of Scottish and even Scandinavian mythology/culture sounds quite interesting. I just started to become interested in these things since the Ondine movie I heard was coming out.

Seanus seems to be knowledgeable about this part of Europe, so I wonder what Seanus has to say about these things?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

I heard the actor Collin Farrell say that he is Irish and Scottish.

His wife Alicja is Polish.

They both star in his next movie ONDINE

His wife Alicja talks about Collin and the movie.

History / Leon Feldhendler: A hero murdered? [37]

What about all the Jewish hate for Poles in this forum?

All Jews do on this forum is try to DEFINE ALL POLES with SELECTED articles about Polish-anti-semitism (usually exagerrated) while REFUSING to explain WHY Jews CHOSE to Live in Poland for ONE THOUSAND YEARS if Poland was as anti-semitic as their SELECTED anti-Polish articles suggest.

Of course these same Jews willfully IGNORE the bad behavior of their fellow Jews in Poland and Eastern Europe. As in the fact that about 40% of the Communist butchers of Poles and East Europeans were Jewish.

Like Stalins Jews:

Stalin's Jews

ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3342999,00.html

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the horrible things Jews did to Poles and East Europeans.

But the Jews who come on this forum read the Anti-Polish New York Times and Anti-Polish Washington Post and think these racist Anti-Polish Rags are the gospel on Jews and Poles.

The vicious Washington Post Anti-Polish Bigot Richard Cohen just wrote a major anti-Polish hate piece on Poland using anti-Polish hate propaganda of the Goebbels of Anti-Polish propaganda, Mr. Poland-Hater himself, "Jan Gross".

Maybe its time to post more links on the horrible things Communist Jews did to Poles and other East Europeans and have these same Jewish critics of Poles explain the actions of these thug Communist Jews?

Maybe these Jewish critics of East Europeans should ask the Russians who started Communism in Russia.

Hint: According to Russian nationalists, it wasn't the Russians. LOL

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

...as are Germans...as are all central Europeans....and the Anglo-Saxons...:)

So there you go! :)

And naturally, European countries near each other, in general will at least have some similar genetic qualities as their adjacent neighbors.

But at the end of the day, all of us Europeans..... we're all just one big European family ! :D

Just randomly pick a European country, then randomly pick another European country. The people of those two countries will always be genetically closer then either of those countries are to Africans, Asians, Semites/Arabs, etc.

Hmmm since us Europeans are like 14% of the world's population and clearly a minority of the world's population, maybe we should start sticking together more like minorities do?

History / The Pogrom on Jews at Eishyshok (Ejszyszki) in Poland [68]

The matter is documented, hence proven. What are these Polis American groups arguing about? It's written down in contemporary documents, the perpetrators have been arrested and sent to Siberia. Case closed.

The NKVD arrested the perpetrators

Well if New York Times has one of their anti-Polish Bigots write an article bashing Poles with "anti-semitism this" and "anti-semitism that" TAKEN FROM DOCUMENTATION from the SOVIET UNION and its NKVD, well we all know IT MUST BE TRUE and not exagerrated one bit! LOL!!!!!!!!

No wonder the Racist Liberal Jewish Supremacist New York Times was so in love with Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union.

No wonder the New York Times VICIOUSLY ATTACKED AND SLANDERED innocent Ukrainians and other anti-Communists who reported on the TRUTH that the Soviets and Stalin were mass murdering many millions of Ukrainians and other East Europeans.

The Communist New York Times WAS IN BED basically with Stalin's Soviet Union ideologically speaking. The New York Times knew Lefty-Jews were very active in Stalins Soviet Union so therefore the Soviet Union is BLAMELESS in the sick communist minds of the Lefty-Jewish New York Times. The same thing with Media Bigots like Yaffy Eliach or Richard Cohen of the Washington Post.

The answer to all of these stories of anti-semitism in Eastern Europe is because of the Jewish anti-East European Racism of Communist Jews towards East Europeans. Communist Jews were very active in persecuting and killing East Europeans. Sending them to Gulag death camps.

But for some reason the New York Times Bigots and Bigots like Richard Cohen of the Washington Post IGNORE stories like this:

Stalin's Jews

ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3342999,00.html

This story pretty much explains why there was anti-semitism in Eastern Europe.

Anti-Polish Bigot Yaffy Eliach should try reading it also

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

Maybe Slavic and Germanic nations will think about increasing their populations and keeping them younger?

They're both getting older and slowly dying out.

The average age in Germany is 45.

The average age in Poland is 37.

In Muslim countries like Iran and Afghansitan the average age is like 24 or something like that.

Sheesh.

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

No, I think it's pretty obvious to outsiders (ie, outside the Air Force) that the captain isn't solely to blame - while he has to ultimately take responsibility for putting the plane into the ground, the cause is likely to lie deep within the Air Force.

I wonder why "MediaWatch" still hasn't discovered my little discrepancy, if he's so knowledgeable about this sort of thing?

What are you talking about? What discrepancy?

Is this something based on Russian transcript and version of events?

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

Where was it reported "conditions for acceptance: none". Is that according to the Russians?

Thousands of planes land in bad weather all the time, but their altimeters and other equipment have to be receiving ACCURATE GPS, satellite, altitude data etc if their visual abilities are compromised.

You are basically taking the word of the Russian government on this whole thing. There is no concrete evidence that the pilots in the plane were receiving the warnings at the times given by the Russian transcripts. We won't know for sure what really went on until those black boxes are given back to Poland. Oh but wait, the black boxes aren't going back to Poland LOL

delphiandomine, we just heard about how 3 Russian police in charge of securing the Polish crash were looting the dead Polish people from the Polish crash site. One dead Polish person had his credit card being used by those Russian "police" "government officials" the same day as the crash.

Do you really think that was the only shady Russian thing going on in reference to this Polish plane crash? Do you really think we can rely on the viewpoint of those with that "honesty" and "integrity" when it comes to this plane tragedy?

this is chilling!

In this article, German aviation experts think the Polish Plane Crash was engineered and an act of terrorism. They think the Russian GPS/Satellite data going to the Polish plane was distorted.

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

and they obviously ignored the warnings.. the TAWS went of so many times..

According to the RUSSIAN transcripts.

Lets not forget the Russians seized these black boxes before any Polish investigators were around. The Russians also made sure nobody could take pictures or videos of the crash site shortly after the plane crashed. We all know what happened to the guy who took that video of the crash site shortly after the crash.

So WHY did the guy who took that controversial video of the Polish crash site have to die??? Does anyone know?

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

I guess it's because it's a joint investigation and Polish prosecutors were there during the opening and transcription process.

LOL

Yeah some joint investigation.

I think Poland is divided on this.

There have been many reports how the Russians were pretty much dominating the investigation. You have to remember that at the start of the investigation, with virtually all Poles still stunned at this whole tragedy and Russia claiming that it will have an "open investigation", the Poles weren't exactly in the mood to ask any tough questions about the investigation. Especially when, to Russia's credit, there were strong condolences and words of support coming from Russia.

I just think its not right for Russia to hold onto the black boxes.

Why are people taking the Russian transcripts of the Polish plane crash as the gospel truth?

Why isn't Russia giving back the black boxes to Poland after all these months?

If it was the other way around, would Russia allow another country to hold onto the black boxes and accept the transcripts made by the investigators of the other country?

I guess when people see something in PRINT, in an official document, that version of events must be true LOL

History / Miracle of the Vistula 80th anniversary? [56]

Yeah, that's why they needed to build a wall...

LOL

Are you drunk?

There was a substantial Soviet presence in Poland keeping Poland down from 1945-1990. Why do you think there were Soviet/Russian troops in Poland for that time? Why was there also always a threat by the Soviet Union to send more troops to Poland?

So you think Poland and other Soviet dominated countries did the Soviet Union's bidding because there was ZERO Soviet pressure on them?

Its true that it was Polish COMMIES who carried out the decisions of the Soviet Union. That's because they were in league with the Soviet Union. Now can you guess why that was? Are you aware that Poland was under Soviet Union domination?

That's quite twisted thinking even for you to try to insinuate that average Poles supported Communism in Poland and are responsible for Soviet directives.

By your logic then I guess we should blame ordinary Germans for carrying out the horrible actions of the commie E. German Stazi police forces (and their German operatives) from 1945-1990?

The Commie East German government was one the staunchest supporters of preventing the break up of Soviet Union control of Central Europe. Maybe it was because they were so used to being obedient Commie Germans? At least by your logic.

History / Miracle of the Vistula 80th anniversary? [56]

that they connect Germans with the end of the cold war

LOL

Yeah people connect Germans as being the beneficiaries of the fall of the Berlin Wall since it fell in Berlin naturally.

But are you trying to say that the world media and the US media did not recognize what Walesa, Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan did together in bringing down the Soviet Union, which resulted in the fall of the Berlin Wall? If you are then you live in some kind of bubble.

I've always heard and read about the Solidarity movement and Pope John Paul II's contributions towards bringing down communism (not in Polish American newspapers). Gorbachev confirmed it! You think Gorby is telling lies??? LOL

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

Did you read the entry about Germany? Or that about France?

Yes I can see uncyclopedia is basically sarcastic humor/dirty humor on different countries.

I can also see how you wouldn't be that offended at the unclycopedia comments on Germany since they are SO MILD. The uncyclopedia guy writing on Germany, despite some token anti-German comments, was really PULLING HIS PUNCHES on Germany. He even BASHED the Poles in the beginning, letting the reader know he thinks Germans are superior to Poles. (I'm sure you liked that part).

Half of the uncyclopedia Germany article was talking about how Germans like making pûrnography, like to dominate, are rigid, how Germans like that actor Hasselhoff WOW SUCH degrading sarcasm!!!! LOL ooooohhhh that's SO EDGY!!!!

But when the uncyclopedia people or person writes about Poland they jump right to sarcasm about Poles having Subhuman intelligence which is the most deragatory sarcasm against Poles. They jump to selected propaganda to push the subhuman intelligence stereotype of Poles.

I wonder why Uncyclopedia didn't have any sarcastic comments about Germans being GERMans?

or about:

Germans like drinking blood because they have spilled so much of it?

Germans being Stupid ManBeast Robot followers of Hitler?

Germans making German houses out of the skeletons of the millions of people?

German car makers now working on using human blood to fuel their cars?

German car makers use German death camp victim human hair as stuffing for their seats??

These uncyclopedia people seem like they are closet German supporters/Neo Nazis.

The Unclyopedia people seem very reluctant to use any real sarcasm on the Germans.

You would think if they wanted to be edgy about Germany they would at least make a sarcsatic comment about the word GERMANY having the word GERM in it.

Uncyclopedia can't use any sarcastic humor to talk about GERMans coming from Germs?

NO NO Uncyclopedia can't do that.

When people brought up Uncyclopedia before and I went to the Germany page, ALL it had was just a swastika on it and NOTHING ELSE. oooooooooohhhhhh WOWWWWW that's SO EDGY!!!! LOL

These guys behind uncyclopedia are either German or sympathizers of Germany. They were such wimps on Germany. It seemed like part of their sarcasm actually made Germany look good.

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]

It all depends how the word "Polack" is used. Within the Polish language "Polak" is naturally acceptable.

"Polack" used within the English language, especially in the US is seen by at least some Polish Americans as being deragatory since it was used in a deragatory way during the hey day of anti-Polish slurs from certain elements of the TV media decades ago.

Its possible that some Americans can use the word "Polack" in an innocent way since they probably don't know better and may have heard that term from certain media years ago and it unfortunately carried into certain parts of the American population.

But its no accident that 99.9% of the media today does not refer to Polish people as "Polacks" since even they know it comes across as slur like at worst and slang at best. They generally refer to the Polish as "Polish people", "Poles" or "Polish Americans" depending on the nature of the article.

I guess it all depends on the intent of the person using the word. But in my experiences, although I generally don't hear the word "Polack" in my social circles, the occasional times I do hear it, if I correct the person saying it, its no big deal. They don't use the word anymore and they just say they didn't know about the use of the word and only used it because they went by "what they heard in the past".

But as a rule of thumb, sophisticated people generally don't use the word.

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

exactly.. this guy/gal just showed up and that is all he/she has been talking about and they even claim to be polish.. hmm.. yeah, right..

Sometimes people show up on this Polishforum, claim to be Polish and then say all types of things.

From what I see, MOST of the people on the Polishforums are NOT Polish or of Polish ancestry.

So we shouldn't be too surprised when "Polish people" come on this forum and say whatever.

I mean, nobody would ever claim to be Polish, when they are really Non-Polish and then say all types of things on here. LOL

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]

It depends on the type of people you're among. Sophisticated people don't tell them or any type of ethnic joke since they are slurs.

In polite society, you can't go telling insult ethnic jokes/Polish "jokes" about Polish people or ethnic or racial jokes about any group of people without getting in trouble. That's why Arlen Specter got into trouble almost 2 years ago when he told some so called Polish jokes. Voters in Pennsylvania today, still haven't forgot about Specter's jokes against Poles.

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

They do not hate, but they do make the dumb joke. In fact, the most famous joke maker, Arlene Spector will not be running for reelection in Pennsylvania.

You're right about Arlen Specter.

I heard Arlen Spector's so called Polish "jokes" he told 2 years ago hurt him with many Polish American Pennsylvanians. Polish Americans are one of the largest voting ethnic groups in Pennsylvania.

Even though Arlen Specter apologized for his ethnic slurs against Polish people, there were still many Polish Americans and non-Polish Americans who felt there was something wrong with Specter for telling these anti-Polish slurs in the first place.
