History / Should visitors to Auschwitz pay an entrance fee? [82]

If you can't blame the Jew, blame the British" to the extent that they even blame the British for Auschwitz.

If they benefited from dead Jews then why not?
Explain to me which part of this BBC documentary is not true:

Perhaps Bank of England could take over the maintenance costs. After all they helped Hitler come to power, financed his military and benefited from the gold and other valuables looted from the victims.

Language / Calling a person a 'potato' (ziemniak/kartofel/burak) [37]

Both "ziemniak" and "burak" do function in Polish slang as derogatory terms and they do so regardless of weather any posters in this thread have any direct experience with the usage or not. Slownik Jezyka Polskiego (The Polish Language Dictionary) even lists "burak" (in its secondary and tertiary meanings) as:

2. pogard. «o osobie pochodzącej ze wsi»
3. pogard. «o osobie zachowującej się prostacko»

2. derogatory about a village/country person
3. derogatory about a person with poor manners

History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]

When do countries actually start to be accountable for their own mistakes?

Good question.
When will England be finally held accountable for helping Hitler to get power and then to conduct the war at the cost of tens of millions of people?

Btw. has the Bank of England returned all the proceeds of war crimes yet?

Life / Standards of Living in Poland [42]

How about insurances in PL? Are they well organized

My understanding is that you are being offered a job in Poland by some company. Why don't you negotiate the terms of employment, such as health insurance, travel and moving expenses and initial cost of living? I'd never move to another city, let alone a different country, unless the employer paid for the move, the first few months of accommodations and for the entire cost of health insurance. That's how it works with companies worth working for.

News / Who will be the next President of Poland? [51]

Aha, we have space to disagree but not Spaces ;)

apparently your horizons are limited so you stay in your Space. I'll gladly research Spaces :)

Komorowski, what a boring looking man.

He ain't getting my vote for sure. I'm kinda tempted to vote PiS if they put forth a candidate.

News / Who will be the next President of Poland? [51]

Hold your horses. Vothes have not been cast yet.

A lot of voting is irrational (see GW Bush) , or done at the spur of the moment (see Obama). The same may happen in Poland. For now the media are pretty quiet about the possibility of foul play in the accident but my bet is that it will start on Monday. All that is really needed is a few thousand very vocal Olga's, a few unexplained mysteries and a gaffe by a leftist politician or two and Poles are likely to further honor LK by voting for his party. There does not need to be an overwhelming support for PiS, just enough to squeeze through. With Tusks party having lost a very handsome percentage (11%) of support things may be pretty interesting.

Genealogy / Are Poles aware of Thracian aspect in original roots of Polish ethos? [69]

Either you accept that the Holocaust happened or not. Debating about what??? Numbers???

Debating that has nothing to do with rejecting that the holocaust happened. It did and there were close to 20 million victims Slavs, Jews, Roma, gays etc. I mean debating about details which lead to a more complete picture a.k.a truth. Like the one academics like to research.

The only thing I can think of would be officially denying of the Holocaust actually (you can even do it private if you feel the need).

Not just denying, but debating ;)

I doubt the League needed to convert...erm...aquire members with a sword to their head!
The Church was and still is about power...the League was about trade...

OK, you got a point there, but isn't economy the weapon of today?

That's not a fact...just your theory...both of it! ;)

OK, perhaps not fully Orwellian yet, but you still gotta e careful about what you say. Not freedom of speech in Germany after all.

I'm really an admirer of the Hanseatic League..

I am too

It spread prosperity through trade over borders like nothing comparable before (no, church doesn't count)!

Why not? It united Europe and created prosperity for some and poverty for others. Just like EU.

News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]

Russians are culpable of just anything!!! This is the nation of murderers and psyhopaths. I know, I was there. Ten years of the misery...

They certainly are. But to suggest they were running around with guns finishing off any survivors is a clear sign of lunacy. The Russians can be monsters but they are certainly not idiots.

Again, it is possible they had a hand in this, as much as Western interest might have.
It's just there there is no proof. None! For now we have only seen reasons, interpretations and misinterpretations of some youtube flicks. None of which prove anything.

I finally found the word "gnat"

"gnat" is slang for a gun in Polish.
Perhaps those KGB agents running around and shooting people posed as Poles :)

News / Kaczynski to be buried at Wawel ?! [289]

LETS STAND IN FRONT OF THE WAWEL WITH SIGNS SAYING: "S P I E P R Z A J D Z I A D U ! ! !"

I think it's a little extreme and misdirected.
Why would you address a dead man who had no say in where he would be buried?
After all it wasn't Lech's decision, was it?

(I'm stoned)

don't take dope before posting then. Or did you mean "petrified" or "stunned"?

I generally agree that Wawel is not appropriate for Kaczynski's final resting place but, on the second thought, maybe (just maybe) he was the last truly Polish president, to be followed by a gang of foreign interests' delivery boys.

News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]

I am referring to the boy's video!!!!

The boys' video shows a plane against the sky but it doesn't show the land as seen from the plane.
What plane was it?
When was the video taken?
If the Polish plane hit the tree tops why are those tree tops so much below the plane?
The plane appears to be flying OK.
The boys said they were going to school when this happened? At almost 11am? Is that when the classes start in Smolensk?

So back to the main question of this thread:

Yes, foul play is possible and very much so. And if it indeed was someone's job then I would look for culprits as much Eastwards as Westwards. Heck, after nearly 70 years, the British still haven't revealed all documents pertaining to Sikorski's death but you are worried about a few days which are reasonably needed to stitch facts together in this crash?

Anyway, that clip alone does not provide a proof of anything, no matter how many insults you throw at those who disagree with you.

z_Darius, you sound like paid propaganda artist. Videos show the obvious as I said previously. Anyone with half a brain or who is not in businness of brainwash can see.

Yes, you already saw fuel ejectors on TU-154 wings. It turns out TU-154 has no such ejectors.
You see an interview conducted a few hours after the accident and you want the fog to be still there, as thick and as intact as it was or wasn't at the time of the crash. Weather doesn't work like that but we have now all seen how your brain works.

You are seriously ill.
Take a bath and catch a few hours of sleep. You're burning yourself out and soon you'll see Putin himself in one of those clips.

Your arguments are so illogical and defy the evidence in the videos.

You haven't disproved a single one of them. Not one. And yet again you have to resort to insults.
The videos do not provide a proof of foul play. Everything in them is circumstantial and thus it became subject of your paranoia.

The video has the plane in it, in case you forget, and plane did not fly in the afternoon.

But the interview was definitely in the afternoon.

Video shows high light, consistent with the time of flight.

We can see a plane flying well above tree tops, while it had been reported that the plane was very low and it even knocked a communication tower and lost some parts.

We don't know what plane that video shows. From the yt clip it is not possible to discern the plane's markings. In short the video within the clip proves nothing.

Some traces of fog are visible but nothing llto the extent characterized in reports.

IF the camera clip shows THAT plane then the clarity of the sky seen there is not conclusive in regards to the fog reports. The plane was not supposed to land on a cloud but on the ground that was reportedly covered by fog.

Again, I encourage you to wait for the official report and, hopefully, for the sound track of the voice recorder. That, I'm sure, will clear any fog. Until then you there is no proof of foul play. None.

News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]

No, I did not say that. Learn how to read .

OK, my fault. I took it from another poster.

Video is clearly from morning as you can see by the light and Russia today is state-run tv which is why there is no further mention in the reports of that video.

The accident was at 10:56 Moscow Time. At 10:56 the Sun is very high over the horizon, just over one hour away from its highest point during the day. The Sun seen in the clip is low because it's going sleepy. The scene is late afternoon.

By now the boy's camera has been in all likelihood confiscated.

Oh stop it. Why can't you be patient? What, are you 10 years old? Can't sit in one spot for too long.

You already wrote Here are Tupelov 154 photos CLEARLY showing, to those who are not blind and retarded, fuel ejectors on wings:.
tupolev.ru/English/Show.asp?SectionID=136
And now it turns out you CLEARLY saw what you wanted to see.

Explain lack of heavy fog--and Russia's jumping up-and-down loudly yelling "fog!", when video clearly shows little.

What's "little" in terms of fog?

There is background light (the Sun) and ambient light in the video. Fog seen against a darker background (such as seen from a plane downwards) will appear thicker.

There is plenty of fog and the visibility seems to be around the claimed 400m. Also, as you pointed out yourself, the video was made a few hours after the crash. The presence or lack of fog in that flick is irrelevant. Fog can vanish within minutes.

Not some smoke-filled low light footage reporters shot hours later after the wreckage was burning fuel and PAH's (polyacrylic hydrocarbons) all day.

By then the firefighters did most of their job and the wind was blowing any smoke out of the way. Als, as I wrote earlier, another version of the same flick shows areas East and North of the crash and there is also fog. The breeze is coming from the North so if the fog was really smoke then little to none would have flown towards the North, against the wind. Unless Russian smoke is really a member of the KGB and was trained to fly against the wind.

Also, explain how Russia could not be behind it if they had the plane in their possession several months prior for overhaul.

That's easy. Not all people are smart just because they have brains.
The Russian service of the plane may raise questions and it may direct the investigation further, but at this point it proves precious nothing. I hope you understand the term "proof". There is none.
