Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]

Please, make an effort to stay on topic. Thanx.

Now let's be quite honest Wroclaw, staying on topic in this case means stating whether they are or they are not sexy and that's about it, case closed.

Btw, case closed is the best description for topics like this one anyway.

News / Poland's atheist loonies have had their 5 minutes [239]

I provided a link. I hope you don't mind that I'm absolutely not convinced about what you're saying about it. Believe what you want CP and let me believe what I want. I hate discussions about any religions at all. They never change anything but mostly stir up a lot of bad feelings, not to say hatred (observed many times on PF).

Roman Catholic Church isn't Christian

"Evangelicals who assert that Catholics are not Christian will have a hard time standing on that, because they accept the authority of the Catholic Church every time they pick up the Bible."

but to be honest with you, I'm not going to discuss about any religion here.

History / Why is there NOTHING (besides Gdansk and Szczecin) in former Prussia? [80]

No NO, on their way to Vatterland :-) They weren't called Recovered Territories Ziemie Odzyskane for nothing.

That's why I always say, you can drink and have all kinds of fun with Poles but never discuss with them about history. That's an absolute no no, :-)

They're completely different, Wrocław is a typically german twist on various worldwide trends while Gdańsk is built mainly to Low Countries (especially Dutch) schools, both polish and german citizens commisioned mainly Dutch and sometimes Italian architects to work in Gdańsk.

True, they're different but still, both very pretty.

History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]

That they stopped in Berlin was a deal with the US. Nothing more. They also captured Vienna. so much about being tired...

Jeez, if you're a German I'm a freaking Russian. You're most likely one of those cases where someone of your ancestors had a German Shepherd and now you became a German citizen only because of this fact. I bet you don't even speak proper German Sasha, (lol)

News / Pole-basher Gross up to old tricks [284]

Whose deeds are you talking about?

you answered it yourself here:

yes the act of digging out corpses is disgusting.

this is all I was talking about Of courses not just digging out the corpses but digging for gold expected to be found with the corpses. It's a known fact that the Jews were swallowing gold and diamonds short before they got captured.

I'm not denying that those things did not take place in Poland but it is a taboo in Polish culture to do so. The individual cases that might have happen are certainly not on the mass scale that the American GI's committed, nor was the motivation for this act the same. One thing to throw stones and point fingers something you are good at but take a good look at yourself first before you do so.

You're a very bad observer SHT. You're jumping on me even though I posted (twice in this thread) clearly that what I'm saying is meant as a general statement. Nothing against any particular nation. You however grabbed a chance to run over us, why SHT? I know why, you don't need to answer.

No matter what you say, what they did was disgusting, end of story. Trying to explain it as a way to survive is ridiculous. When someone is hungry, he's looking for food and is digging for potatoes or turnips and is definitely not digging for gold in the mass graves of brutally murdered, innocent people.

Again, it's not about the Poles, it's about whoever, whenever and wherever does it.

Try stealing fro local population, museums and other public buildings, the things Germans looted from museums etc. It's not like they needed those things to survive they well well paid after all, just try to guess what their motivation might have been for that act.

I already said how I feel about stealing in general. I don't make any excuses at all but in this thread it is all about stealing from the dead and I find it way more disgusting.

I will post my statement again so you won't feel personally (as a Pole) attacked or bashed or whatsoever.

What I'm saying here is not directed against anyone in particular, it's my general opinion about it.

You should start a campaign against all the American GI's that brought back all that loot from Europe with tham.

yep and against the Polish, Russian, French and just about anyone else who did it too.

I'm not excusing anyone here.

Stealing things from a dead soldier is bad enough but stealing from the mass grave or any grave at all is even worse.

The act of desecrating graves is in itself disgusting, agreed here, but technically, I'm not sure you can steal from a dead person. It seems that while an act of theft itself may indeed occur when an item is been taken out of the grave, but it is not a theft from the deceased person , but rather from the person's heirs, if there are any.

call it anyway you want, stealing or "taking away", it's still disgusting.

To be fair, it's not as if the dead needed those things and the living certainly did.

It doesn't matter, it's just disgusting.

Btw. it's illegal too.

Given the utter desperation in Poland in those times, I ask you - what's particularly horrific or shocking about it?

If one is in a bad situation and steals food to survive, I'm going to even help him but they dag for gold (what else?) to get richer and this goes way beyond any possibility of classifying what they did as an act of desperation (unless desperation to become rich quick, lol).

I'm sorry DD but I don't find any excuse for their actions.

but do you think they would have done it if they had the choice not to?

I bet, it wouldn't take long for us to find links about stealing from the dead. I personally believe that there's always a choice other than to steal, rob or kill, especially from the dead.

What I'm saying here is not directed against anyone in particular, it's my general opinion about it.

And so what if they did?

How would you feel if someone did it to your family graves (especially if they were brutally murdered)?

- what's so horrific, or shocking about them trying to find valuables at Treblinka?

man, I thought you're much better than that.

It doesn't matter if this is about the Jews or anyone else, stealing from the dead is just disgusting.

Maybe some realized that Patton was dangerous with this ideas of his...people wonder till today if his demise was really an accident.

He was at least smart enough to realize that the Germans are way more dependable and way less dangerous than the Soviets in the long run. Not to mention that the Germans are obviously way smarter than the Russians.

I go in peace...

I hope the best for you but I know, I'd never make this decision myself.

I think trying to keep Russia under control would have been far more difficult than defeating them militarily..

Patton was nuts, he wanted to stop fighting the Germans and have them help him take Moscow!

It was a great idea.

Some Americans , including the great General Patton wanted to reform the German army right after the surrender , and with them go at it with the Russians.

yeah, the biggest mistake they never realized that.

Is this the same ace who knocked out something like 30 T-34s during the withdraw from Leningrad?

I bet, the ace you're talking about, wasn't involved in the same battles as "The four men tank crew and a dog" ;-) (just kidding)

The fact is Germany was fighting in a number of different theaters... Period...

Thanks. This is what I was saying since I joined this thread but he just wouldn't listen.

Why don't you cite your sources?

yep, black on white seems just not to be enough.
