Love / Polish men what is the worst thing a girl can do upon first impression? [360]

You have no idea how pathetic you sound. I recommend you purchase Camille Paglia's book;
"Sexual Personae". Although she is a feminist, she explains without apology that if civilization was left up to women, then the human race would still be living in trees.

And who takes Camille Paglia seriously nowadays?

No art? No poetry? No books? No inventions (99% created by males), no philosophical thoughts? No physics? etc. You must be a liberal, a weenie of one at that.

What exactly didn't you understand of the part that it's our basic function in evolution? The rest is all wonderful and nice, but for evolution it doesn't play any part whatsoever, so from a evolutional perspective it's all arteficial.

Zimmy, if you don't understand what I'm saying I suggest you don't react to what I write or ask what I mean, as you clearly didn't understand that I already took care of all the things you mention here. But you're free to ask if you don't understand sth. After all, that is how we learn, eh?

I must disagree with that. I don't want more helpless offspring like him coming out of it. Don't encourage that.

The same goes for you, bimbo, if you don't understand what I'm saying, just ask me to explain again, instead of just starting to shout like Zimmy does and clearly giving evidence that you don't understand what I said.

Ender: there are several movies made by Hollywood dealing with Dutch history. Most of them (from the 60's or so) actually portray Hansje Brinkers, the boy who in American folklore saved NL from drowing by putting his finger in a hole in the Dyke. This is granted by the Americans as true event, while in fact this never happened. If I would be like you or Iron, I would go like: "disgrace! Outrage! Shame! Blasphemy!" and more of the kind. But I am not like you. I just laugh at so much stupidity and then I have a beer and think that life can be very nice and then you see pictures of Bonnie, the Bavaria Babe and you KNOW life is nice sometimes.

You do know that in Hollywood they alter some things for the sake of the story, do you?

Ironside

I skipped this match for the French match tonight. It's most amusing to see you infuriate again, but this is an issue that really doesn't need to be discussed. And trust me, if they would do that to a Dutch hero, hardly anybody in NL would give a darn.

Edit:

@Ender: take a look at some Indonesian films and see how they portray the Dutch. I didn't hear Dutch nagging about it. And: it's your full right to call this a lie, but why discuss it with ppl who won't be able to change it anyway. All you get is a bunch of opinions who don't matter in the end anyway. Go tell it to Hollywood if you don't agree to this. Chances are that they will just laugh at you.

misjudge mans' role in evolution

I'm still a man, but I also know what role we have in evolution: fertilizing women. Try to prove the opposite :)
We are a species and the only purpose of a species is to create offspring with different characteristics. Females do breed the offspring, men only puts his semen into her and the woman takes care of the rest. What is there you don't understand in this simple picture? Sorry if it tears down you feeling of manlihood, but according to nature, that's the only role we have.

Fact is the Western Europe got into this feminist sh*tfest with a high horse of it being a future, men are castrated, women have more balls then G.I.Jane and the world is upside down.

Given the so much more important role for females in life and evolution, it's time we let them have the upper hand. It would only be fair. See explanation below.

ROFL! You speak the truth!

Does he? Perhaps you forgot that in nature the role of the female is so much more important and complex than a male's role? For humans that is the same. All the other things we made up that are supposed to be a man's role are all arteficial additions to avoid making men aware of the limited role they have in evolution. Compensation, so to say, for the fact that they are easily replaceable. And men's only role is actually inseminate the women. Women take care of all the rest, they carry the baby, they feed it, raise it until it's old enough to take care of itself. Just like in nature. So all that macho talk is a bit ridiculous when you look at the bare essentials of life. It's women who have all the power anyway. If a woman doesn't want to have sex, for example, there will be no sex. At least, when the guy's not a psycho rapist. When you want to start a relationship, it's nearly always the woman who decides. Talk about the weaker sex! I think men are in fact the weaker sex.

News / Hollywood's War with Poland. [150]

I already wrote about the Osterman Weekend in which the killing psychopath is a Dutch. As far as I know I didn't think much of it, I just liked the movie. Dutch just shrug their shoulders and watch the film. The film later has been remade as The Hitcher, perhaps you know this one. I watched that one too and I must say that I hated the psychopath in the Hitcher much more than the one in the Osterman Weekend.

And as for Jews being portrayed in a bad way, have you seen Music Box? That was the closest to a movie in which Jews were portrayed badly. But it turned out a bit differently. If you haven't seen the movie, I won't tell how it turns out as it would be a spoiler. It's a good movie though.

Nobody cares about this issue except people like you.

This thread, and yourself prove otherwise. You mentioned the Big Lebowski. Well, that was one of the best movies I have ever seen...And NOT because the main character has a -ski name. That was actually of the least concern to me, but because of the great story the Coen Brothers have come up with.

I agree that Jews complain as much as the Poles and in that respect, as I have said before, I think that Poles and Jews are very much alike.

Sorry? Last i've seen they've been submissive fags, if there was ever a ***** factory UK deserves the name

Tell me Sokrates, you're not secretly applying a little whip here and there to show you're the man in the house?

Now tell me, what is so dreadful about cooking? It doesn't make you less a man if you cook a nice meal for her. In fact loads of ladies I cooked for were delighted and gave me great rewards afterwards, yes, also the Polish ones :) And what you're gonna do when the lady cannot cook? Go to the chipper every freaking night? Not quite an option, eh?

But in fairness, this is the 21st century and this kinda attitude you can see only in lower class families and even there not that often. Seanus is right, it's time to cop on for Polish men.

Now Germans should be upset that it's portrayed as evil ba$tards

True, nearly all mad professors with super weapons planning for world domination have heavy German accents.
In the Osterman Weekend the killing psychopath was played by Rutger Hauer and is a Dutch. Did we Dutch get annoyed by this? Heck no, we all thought it was a great movie :)

This thread is proof that some Poles have cultivated complaining and whinging and whining to a cultural phenomena that is meeting with more and more irritation outside of PL. They really should stop doing that.

Don't want to be a wise crack, but La Vita é Bella is about Italian Jews and has no connection whatsoever to Poland. He even doesn't go to a KZ in Poland, but in Italy. Yes! there were KZ's in Italy too.

Answers most of MY questions.

That's the point: the Polish, English, German, French and the other versions have all a different explanation.

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

Will you give me a freaking break? There is more anti Jewish hate here than anti Polish hate on this forum. Anti Jewish thingies on this forum are much and much bigger that the so called "anti Polish" thingies here. And even when the Poles are proved wrong, it's still anti Polish in your view anyway.

'historian, assistant prof. in the Department of Culture and History of the Jews, Lublin University'.

This is what I meant, mea culpa. They do research into the Holocaust, perhaps a bit confusing there, if it is, I am sorry about this. It was a reference to Adam Kopciowski.

revisionist

Why revisionist? I just want to know what happened to Feldhendler and his killers. I don't think that is really revisionism. Be careful, you're starting to lose the air of neutrality here.

a random Jew

I don't think Feldhendler was a random Jew, he was pretty high profile imo.

Unless, which i suspect to be the case you're not interested in anything but smearing these people

I really think you should seek some professional help.

Agreed. But I cannot continue today; I have to be somewhere in a moment and I won't be back until late tonight. Tomorrow I have to cramp a few meetings in the morning as I'm off in the afternoon, so probably it's best to continue tomorrow evening or else Tuesday. Ok?

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

What is it with you that you're dismissing anything that doesn't support your own opinion. This is also part of Polish history, whether you like it or not.

Nobody says here that the NKVD was friendly or that the AK did it. I think it's already established that it's not a 100 per cent clear who killed him.

Feldhendler gets mentioned a few times in the second source.

And besides, since you're on a rampage against alledged "anti-Polonism" (while in fact this topic is far from that), I just wonder why you were so quick to condemn the Jews who were forced to hang those Poles in the "Poles executed by Jews"-thread. I guess we all know the reason. You have proven it now and you will prove it again and again.

During this time in Poland there were plenty heroes killed and murdered, all the same...

It was indeed a chaotic time. I was just wondering whether the authorities were so quick to provide an "example" by getting "scapegoats" as it was a kinda public figure. Normally these cases take longer, much longer. It just seemed that they were in a hurry to put the case into the archives, never to be reopened again. And while Jolanda is dismissing herself as impartial participant with rantings about anti-Polonism, which is totally irrelevant in this case, I have seen some good answers, however, I am aware that the case will be remaining in shrouds of mystery. Unless, lik Nott says, we will have the entrance of an eye witness, which I don't see happening.

Language / Idiomatic Polish [65]

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" is the English language version.

The Dutch version of that is: "Men moet een gegeven paard niet in de bek kijken". It means exactly the same as the Polish and the English version. Just goes to show how languages influence eachother or that ppl are basically the same everywhere. Try the difference between "in de bek kijken" en "in de bek bekijken". They sound the same, but mean sth different.

Any version can be true. And no, the speed of reaction is not the reason to doubt this particular version any more than the others, it rather adds credibility to it.

I guess indeed we will never know. About the speed, it just has the shine over it, like vetala says, that they were looking for a scapegoat, just for the mere reason that this was a hero. I'm not one for conspiracy-theories, but I always find it striking how quickly in general they find sb who dunnit when a famous person gets killed, robbed or sth. This might just as well be the case.

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

You have already answered your own questions by doubting, predictably, the versions explaining that it may have been an accident.

It just seemed a bit fast - not even a week they manage to find the guys, get a confession out of them, judge and trial them and finally execute them. Considering that he was a hero, one would say his murder got high exposure in those days. Can you pls be less touchy and accept that this is also part of your history? Thanks.

Got a source for this?

Forgot your reading glasses? I've added a few links.

Why don't you register at AHF and we'll see what you got there among some historians.

I'm already a member, but I use it mainly as reference as tend to focus more on WW1 than on WW2 as WW1 is more interesting from a historical IR viewpoint. WW2 was, besides all the ideological nonsense, an ordinairy conquerer's war. Most of the entries there are credible, but with some I have doubts, like with this one. This is not based on any prejudice, but merely on the timescale on which it happened, according to the poster in question. See my response to darius.

You must be unfamiliar with the swiftness of communist "trials"

He bases his explanation on the Polish version of Wiki and your own words are not to trust Wiki too much and in this case, all the versions of Wiki that I can read give another explanation. Read the German version for example, there it says he was killed by a love rival.

Edit: if you read well, you would've known that I also doubt if these guys were the perpetrators at all. My questioning of the speed of things implies a doubt whether these guys were, like vetala said, used as scapegoats in order to get something done as it concerned a hero, a hero who half a year earlier led a successful uprising in a KZ. But I guess that's too subtle for you as it turns out.

They were probably used as scapegoats. The communist government used whatever excuse it could to get rid of the resistance fighters.

That might be very well the reason, but if they weren't the perpetrators, who was/were? And why? Imo, he is considered a hero for leading the uprising at Sobibor. That is actually when I came across him. I was just wondering why there could be a relatively successful uprising in Sobibor (and relatively early as well, 1943) and not in other camps. As far as I know there were only minor uprisings in other camps, most notably the one in Auschwitz Birkenau where one of the crematoria got blown up.

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

Leon Feldhendler was, together with Russian Alexandr Pechersky the main organizer of the revolt of Sobibor of 14 October 1943, which led to the fleeing of app. 300 Jews and other prisoners from Sobibor. However, only 50 lived to see the end of the war. Pechersky and Feldhendler were among those. Feldhendler lived after the war in Lublin and got shot through the door of his apartment in that city. This happened on the 2nd of April 1945 and he died on the 6th of April of that year. Most accounts contribute this murder to a right-wing Polish nationalists movement, called Narodowe Sily Zbronje. These guys were anti-Communist and anti-semitic and formed part of the Polish resistance. However, Adam Kopciowski says his murder was part of the larger framework of the total of 118 Jews which were murdered in Lublin in the afterwar years. Other accounts state that four Polish resistance fighters pleaded guilty and were executed in Lublin Castle, 12th of April 1945. I don't find that very reliable as it would be too swift to happen, especially in the chaotic days right after the war. Other accounts state that he was murdered because of some love affair. In all, it's not really clear what exactly happened and if the government took action and if it did, what kind of action. The superswift finding, pleading of being guilty, trial, judgement and execution in a mere 6 days gives way to doubt and according to Kopciowski this incident has never fully been investigated and in fact Sobibor wasn't really known until in the 80's a TV movie was made dealing with the topic of the revolt in the camp.

What I want to know is: was this incident dealt with by the government and if yes, what was the outcome? Was this part of the context of erupting anti Jewish violence that occured in those months immediately succeding World War 2? Was Feldhendler accidentally shot, like one source says or was it willfull murder? Or can he be counted as one of the 118 Jewish post war victims as Kopciowski of the Holocaust Research Centre in Lublin says?

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

Like strong opposition to religion?

They opposed many things. Religion was just one of those things.

Edit: actually religion was the least important thing.

Hitler was different from Stalin in keeping them alive and forcing to run the business for him.

Well actually no. They financed Hitler and they never financed the Bolshevik revolution. Without the support of the bankers and the industrialists, Hitler would never have gotten where he came. You're making a crucial mistake there.

Edit: they financed Hitler because he was to be a stormbreaker against the communists.

Chinese were enemies of the Soviets, too.

Another mistake. Chinese were not enemies of the Soviets because of ideological principles, but more of power-issues. Two huge countries right beside eachother who both seek world domination. No wonder they don't like eachother.

And then he made them NSDAP apparatchiks

You cannot be serious on that one. Without the big conservative financers, Hitler would be nowhere.
