History / Why will Poland always be the puppet of America? [159]

The most the advanced systems come bought from the Americans which are F-16F that are obsolete by American standards and were sold to Poland over priced, without advanced avionics, advanced radar and weapons guidance systems.

Hmmm, are you sure what you are talking about? I know Poles bought the newest version F-16 C/D Block 52+.

Some old fatigued C-130 transport planes,

Hmm, actually there is one so far.

a small number of special forces, no nuclear,chemical, or biological deterrents etc,etc,.

Don`t forget about light sabres!

In case your still hoping on Polands "allies" helping out, just ask your EU buddies how many are willing to fight and die on behalf of Poland; not many I'm sure, if they answered honestly.

We don`t need foreign troops to help us. We can defend our country on our own. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, until the complete desctruction of the invading forces.

The only thing we need is: Ammo!!

Halo! Tu serce Polski! Tu mówi Warszawa!
Niech pogrzebowe śpiewy wyrzucą z audycji!
Nam ducha starczy dla nas i starczy go dla was!
Oklasków nie potrzeba! (...) Żądamy amunicji!

If Poland was to be attacked just look at Georgia. They are allies of America, NATO bound and what did bad-ass George Bush do? Shake his finger at Putin at the Olympics. Good Luck.

Look at the map and see where Poland and where Georgia is.

Here are some stats from the CIA on your military strength. If a conventional war occurs you might last 8 weeks at best w/o external help.

Oh, ****! 8 weeks! Really so long? That`s twice as long as in the last war! There is progress.

FINANCES (USD)
Defense Budget: $11,800,000,000 [2009]

Wow! I still remember data with 2.5 billion $.

Typically Russian? Are you saying that there're no Poles with such a view? She equally may or may not be Russian but I don't see any reasons to purposely doubt her.

OK, Ok , you are right. It might be anybody. I was too quick with this Russian.

I would certainly stick with some softer words, but... do you agree it's true to some extent?

No, I don`t think that Tusk pockets money for declaring his support for the shield.

No I can't. Neither I can say it's not used against Russia in your media.

Whose bigger fault is it? Polish-suspicious Russians` or Russian-wary Poles`? :):):)

History / Why will Poland always be the puppet of America? [159]

Poland was Russia's puppet for about seventy years,

A little correction. It lasted for about 250 years.

its clear to see why Poland is in the situation its in. All alone and unarmed.

Hmmm.... alone and unarmed.... Which Poland are you talking about?

OMG, pawian I didn't expect that from you. :(

???

I think you are oversensitive. It was a joke about a person who reasons about the shield like a typical Russian. I only suggested she should reveal her true name.

What`s wrong with it?

:):):)]

You can`t deny that black propaganda accusations like this

Doesn't matter who the American president is, democrat or republican, Poland will always be a puppet of America.
Take your orders from Obama, Donald Tusk, Polish people know you don't have the guts to say no on the missile base. Some reporter should check Tusk's bank account to see how much he's getting paid off to suport this base when the majority of Polish people don't want it.

were mass produced in Pravda daily in the best times of the Soviet Union.

Can you say such propaganda is no more used in current Russian media???

Study / American Muslim girl thinking to go to Medical school in Poland... [87]

I am considering going to med school in Poland, and I just wanted to know what I should expect.

Poles, especially in big cities, are tolerant, except for a few rascist morons. Black and Muslim people live normally in Poland.

See a few pics:

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]

One can post whatever they like. It's a free forum.

But some guys are going to ask again who runs the forum and why it is so anti-Polish. :):)

Youve got a cheek to talk, the polish surrendered to the germans a lot quicker than the french did.

You see? Anti-Polish sterotypes have just started. :):):)

History / What Was Poland like in the year 1988? [50]

Satellite, only on paper. I doubt anyone was stupid enough at that point to think that the Soviet Union would be able to keep a lid on things in Eastern Europe.

You are saying this because after 20 years you know the outcome of things. :):):)

But I assure you, in 1988, nothing was so sure. :):):) I remember labour and student strikes in summer 1988, they were broken by the riot police, especially in steel mills in Nowa Huta where the police was extremely brutal. The situation was tense and only at the end of 1988 the authorities made a few conciliatory gestures to the opposition so that the Round Table talks could start the next year.

Don't forget that already in 1980, communists accepted Solidarity as a legitimate political agent.

:):):) Actually, communist rulers had never accepted Solidarity before 1989. Their forced acceptance ended with smashing it into pieces in 1981. :):):)

A slave to the Soviet Union, 1988??

Officially, yes, though slave is a bit too strong here. Don`t forget that in 1984 Polish sportsmen didn`t participate in US held Olympic games because that`s what Soviet authorities demanded.

Satellite instead of slave is much better. Do you agree?

History / What Was Poland like in the year 1988? [50]

Just wondering what it was like was born that year/ i was adopted so i never really lived there

Those were wonderful times. :):):):):) You sold 400$ at the black market and it was sufficient to cover annual expenses and have good life: house, car, studies, holidays, girlfriends, books. I was a uni student and my mum was in the US.

The basic Polish monthly salary equaled 15-20$ at the time. My mum earned 400$ in 10 days, probably, I never asked her.

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people think about Wales and Welsh people? [191]

Think for a moment why they do not want to give them a state? Because they would lost more than they have as their own.

No.
After losing the States, Australia, India, half Africa, half the world, the British finally said: Stop! No more concessions!

And they still stick to poor Wales.

Life / Russian rap vs Polish rap [87]

Which is the real deal?

I prefer Russian rap. It is much more delicate. And they don`t swear so much.

intersting

I am sorry, in my previous post I put a link to a Slovak rap. Yes, it is interesting.

Here is the right one with Russian rap. Also interesting.

Ooops, I was wrong about Russian rap not using swear words.
This one is full of them. Many words starting with chu..... . Yuk!!! Chu...Yuk!!!

UK, Ireland / The mystery of Ireland's worst driver "Prawo Jazdy" [37]

Just saw a prawo jazdy today. The title "pawo jazdy" is written one the second line, under something which looks like French. It's the same size lettering as the other info and so might be easily mistaken for a name rather than a title of the card.

??? Under what is it written? What looks like French? Which license are you talking about? :):):)

Love / I adopted the Polish culture by way of my husband [12]

I think you just had bad luck to have come across ignorant brutes who are only able to toil in the field and then drink vodka. I also wouldn`t like to stay there and would refuse to adopt such culture from my foreign partner.

Not all Poles are like that, of course.

UK, Ireland / The mystery of Ireland's worst driver "Prawo Jazdy" [37]

The UK Driving Licence is much easier. Typical Polish everything made difficult.

This is called a test of intelligence. After all, it was Poles who broke Enigma code! :):):)

Where exactly is the name of the driver on the Polish Driving Licence?

If I say: Prawo Jazdy, will you believe me??? :):):):)

syfon.. ;) woda mineralna...

Yes. Syfon was used in 1960s and 70s to produce sparkling water. Very funny device.

As for bottles, they were used for orangade and had hermetic caps to keep bubbles within.

if it's personal, how should we know?

I count on your intelligence. :):):)
Such lamps have been used here for 30 years or more. I remember them from my childhood school times.

What and why?

National Aids day?

NO, a protection against bad spells.

Half a cabbage?
I think this is a trick question and it is not money?
Perhaps yopu had to pay by giving a lift to somebody?

No, I had my car clamped because there is no-stop sign next to the Philharmonic society. I paid 100 zlotys.

Tricky,
It has to be something to do with Christmas...? no???

This was Christmas decoration called szopka in a church.

No, they only look so but aren`t in fact.

I waited til 8/1/09 to get mine. They were sent on 19/11/08. WTF?
