News / Polish Students Striking in Lithuania [80]


That newspaper is funded by awpl, so any info regarding lithuanian-polish relations or education is not shown in true colors. It is like looking in some polish kresy website. Find some real evidence.

You constantly repeat that lithuanians discriminate poles in many ways, maybe you could give us top 10 facts of discrimination? Also, before you start, think about Poland's policies towards minorities, especially german minority.

You love to scream that poles are discriminated, yet Poland does that for 20 years. Compare education laws for minorities in Poland and Lithuania.


Yeah, but in every discussion, that has anything about lithuanians, you call them idiots, bastards, etc.

And how do are they discriminated? More than than minorities in Poland?


So because of one girl, you started to hate all lithuanian nation?

News / Polish Students Striking in Lithuania [80]


So? Lithuanian taxpayers are paying for polish schools in Lithuania who have even bigger funding than lithuanian ones.


So you had a little "chat" with her husband? :D

Ironside, why do you hate lithuanians so much? Did lithuanian girl refused to go on date with you?

History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]

Koala


There was no Belarus republic. The only one i heard of was made by soviets when they invaded Lithuania, but soon was forgoten when Lithuania kicked out soviets. Germany didn't have so much control as you would think and don't forget that Lithuania had just declared independence and started slowly take control of the land, while germans were slowly pulling out home.


Those territories were Lithuania's, yet Poland breached lithuanians lines and used that breach to flank soviets and move toward Vilnius.

History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]


If there were no administration, then what did government evacuated when soviets were approaching Vilnius?

The territory wasn't polish, it was captured from soviets. Lithuania was never an ally to soviet union. If you have any proof just state it, but don't throw empty words. If Poland lost Warsaw, Lithuania's fate would grim, i agree. Excellent country was that who saved from soviets yet tried to adsorb Lithuania herself

History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]


You are mistaken. 60% was before the start of ww2


Lithuania declared full independence in february 16 1918, with Vilnius as its capital which was captured in january 5-6 1919 by soviets.


Poland simply ignored Lithuania's neutrality and broke through Lithuania's lines, thus entering foreign territory. Thats how polish-lithuanian war started.

EDIT:

Ironside, it is you who is ignorant.


The were two declarations:
1)1917 12 11. With ties with Germany
2)1918 02 16 full independance
yes, i agree that germans did all to disrupt local goverment, yet they failed and Lithuania became independant.

History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]

It looks like some of you don't know or simply omit some facts to justify your truth.
1)Vilnius(Wilno) had majority of jews and poles were second in number, while surrounding towns and villages had majority of lithuanians. Most of you either forget or convienently omit fact that at those times only 20% of population lived in cities.

2)Claiming that Lithuania invaded and started "lithuanize" the Vilnius district is complete nonsense. When Lithuania decalred independence, Vilnius was it's capital. Poland took over the city only after Lithuania left the city and soviets took over.

3)Lithuania was neutral during Polish-Soviet war. The only "help" was that it allowed transit through territories which were slowly taken over from soviets by Lith-Sov peace treaty.

4)Technically UK honored her guarantee on Poland by declaring war on Germany. Guarantee was meant only against Hiltler, Soviet Union was another matter.
5)Saying that Ukrainian army were the only evil force doing terrible things is inacurate, Poland did the same.

And what about state funded schools?

In private schools you can even learn bird language :)

Good point! I never heard of such country.

Hmm, i couldn't find any evidence in Lithuanian media that half polish schools will be closed. It is more likely a rumor spread by Tomaszewski & co

News / Row over status of Poles in Germany sours relations [176]

Where did you read such propaganda? Before the law, only lithuanian language was taught in lithuanian, all else was in polish. After the law - history, civil politics and lithuanian language. Is it a majority?

EDIT: Some schools were closed because there were very few students (why keep a class when there are 6 students) and merged with others. But the same is with lithuanian schools.

What rights does Lithuania violate? How is polish minority discriminated?

News / Row over status of Poles in Germany sours relations [176]


Do you know the difference between rights and privileges? Were the rights rudely violated, Lithuania would have faced some sort of penalty by EU.

Have you been to Lithuania to verify this claim? It looks like Poland in the end will make a lot of enemies but not friends. And of course we have to remember that elections are coming in Poland :D

News / Poland A and Ukraine B. Compare how far Poland has advanced. [282]

In my opinion the big difference between Poland and Ukraine is because Poland was a state before, while Ukraine had build it from scratch.

This map is false. Even GDL in it's glory never reached that far to the east. Maybe this map is from some fiction book or game?
