News / US shouldn't interfere in Polish election (Polish-American Advocacy Initiative) [60]

states were never countries of their own.. never

obviously you are wrong their were for a brief moment between rejection of rightful government and construction of the first federal government of 13 colony's.

There is also case of Texas, hardly never then...

yes it is.. one pretty weak army beating another weak army doesn't really constitute saving europe from that weak army.. it's not hard to prove.. illusions of grandeur is what that is..

?
weak compare to what ?
Anyway this "weak" Red Army ( who never lost except in Poland 1920 and Afghanistan 1987) were always victorious, if said army would give a hand communists in Germany there would be Red Country from Vladivostok to Rhenium and maybe to the Atlantic.

Given circumstances of 1920s that scenario was probable.

do you not understand a difference between a state and a country?

well, do you?
Americans are quick to laugh at EU country's but they don't even remember that today states are yesterday country's.
Federal government has stronger and stronger grip on you, laugh away.

that's a major stretch..

not really, but its hard to prove otherwise

Everyone should chill out.

you chill out - you are talking too much

I hope she doesn't go because she will give our money to Poland again.

where is that money ? What about 4 billions US dollars or more we paid for some military rubbish made in usa?

You'd still waiting in line for toilet paper

History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]

But it does, newsflash for you Germans want stuff back, they're not willing to go to war or take it back via any sort of malevolent action, they dont have the population to do it either but they still want Wrocław back, if Poland re-aquires Lwów the question of Wrocław will rise the moment some Steinbach monkey comes to prominence in Germany.

T
Where is a will there is a way, right now I'm talking about will, and mucho depend on a way it will be done - so is good to predict some problems to find a way to avoid them- is that clear enough ?

Lwów was Polish, Wrocław was German, the situation is analogous.

Germans lost. Poland won( at last theoretically), German aggressors, evicting population, grabbing land - who seeds wind, harvest tempest or what goes around comes around :)

Similar doesn't means the same!

History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]

People like you want to exchange a city that Ukraine has messed up for 50 years for a city we've rebuilt practically from scratch and developed into one of Polands major metropolis.

What are you about?I don't think about exchange. I angry because some people have coded in their brains that regaining our land in the east automatically means that we have to give up lands in the west.

That connection is not logical nor right, it is connection made by communist propaganda, so deeply ingrained that some brainless schmooze cannot get it out of his head.

History / Poland in the eyes of London - before WWII. [60]

No, that is the same tired old lie that Poles trot out. Find a new one.

No, that the fact, you are just making excuses, either stop making excuses on behalf of France and Britain or provide me with a prove that Polish Government before WWII signed with said country's not an alliance but semblance of an alliance.

why was Polands attempts to grab land they saw as theirs but stolen at versailles so noble and righteous

What are you about?

but Germanys far more sensable and well,justified claim over danzig and a road to East prussia

Really? Who told you that?Hitler or Stalin ?

Just dont get

Fine, stop making presumption and simply ask!

Poles, as anybody who has ever met any will know, are a nation that is never ever wrong.

Holly-molly that exactly like you Harry!

History / Poland in the eyes of London - before WWII. [60]

What exactly did POLAND do in 1938/39 to stop the rise of Nazi Germany????

The Nazi Germany rise in 1933/36 so, your question is not only simple but silly, considering that Poland could avoid all this hassle consenting to German proposal of an alliance.

I'll answer it anyway - Refusing alliance with Hitler and fighting as the first country against Nazi Germany.

I think he's making some rather good points or is is okay to slander the British and expect them not to retaliate?

What point it would be? Even if sometimes he makes some sense generally he is only slandering and mocking and given that the most of the PF posters have no intimate knowledge of the Polish history and ALL the circumstances his evil twist give it appearance of the truth.

Also even if some posters use inappropriate word or expression, crux of the matter is that you cannot discus with facts, and fact is that Britain and France didn't attack Germany as they promised.

Second fact is that Poland didn't regain independence after 1945 and the rest is only silence. I think that is good that this void is filled with words and I don't think that sense of betrayal many Poles feels (passed by WWII generation ) couldn't be quenched or addressed by - you are stupid bastards and you ******* Poles deserved it all.

Which is exactly what Harry does.

That's a rather broad quote, most English people didnt even know where Poland was before WWII and to suggest otherwise is a quite rediculous.

Saying London I mean government and ruling class, not general population.

They're not going to materialise any time soon.

see above :)

Does taking part in the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938 count?

Yes, as it wasn't taking Part in the Nazi invasion but direct challenge to Hitler, one which he understood. The same goes for a many Czechoslovakian soldiers who often with their arms come to Poland and offered their services to Polish Army for a chance to fight against Germans. I'm sure that you know better Harry than those officers and soldiers.

Once again topic is - before WWII

USA, Canada / US Polonia 70% for Kaczyński [343]

I mean, all the pro family, pro welfare policies - these are all fundamentally socialist. It's no bad thing!

There is more to PiS than pro family and welfare policies, its seems to me that you don't perceive it.

History / Poland in the eyes of London - before WWII. [60]

Why

Dear Harry would you kindly buzz off my thread as you are not really contributing to it.
Topic is Poland in the eyes of London BEFORE WWII!
Your views (if someone is kind enough to call this pile of hummus - views) about Poland and Polish history is known to anybody who is on PF longer then a week.

You and Ozi Dan should make thread for both of you - Ozi Dan and Harry exchange their views on Poland, Polish history and life.

I-S ( its actually a pretty good idea)

Not that I do not appreciate Ozi Dan contribution.
However it would be interesting if someone shared his/her knowledge about British perception of Poland before WWII and I mean BEFORE!

USA, Canada / US Polonia 70% for Kaczyński [343]

Why did they ever call that pis?

L&O
:)

But I actually think that once Kaczynski goes, we might see PiS finally transform into a proper modern Catholic-socialist party. And there's nothing wrong with that - Catholic social teaching and socialist economy views mixed together could be quite popular in Poland, and certainly credible if they toned down the hysteria.

I don't agree with your view of PiS as a socialist party, although some liberal extremist seems to share your opinion.
However I consent to your observation with minor modification, that politics in Poland is hysterical and lack serious debate.

What is really interesting is what vexing incentive you have in Komorowski election as you are Scot.

As for Ameripoles - my aunt lives in states and the polonia that lives in her closest area ,from what I know, is rasist and xenophobic (she is too),

You are lucky to save your pristine openness for others, must be a burden to have such a family, I hope aunt has children I hope!?

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

You contradict yourself in this sentence, you do realise that, do you? War = primitive, so a culture which is warlike is per definition primitive. But I know you mean well, so that's ok.

so our civilization or culture is primitive

What you said was incomplete. I just completed it.

you made it unnecessary complex

because for those who know something about it there is no need to elaborate ...for those with no knowledge your complexity is confusing ....in fact you are showing off

How about the topic of the thread?
I-S (no bother, I feel in my guts that you would be good at it unlike history)
