Food / Cooking Polish kiszka [99]

I never heard it being called a 'kiszka' until I came to the US :)

nope.. it has always been called kiszka in poland.. and it's kiszka when it's in it's original "kielbasa" shape.. once you bust it up in cooking then it becomes kaszanka.

News / Poland back to reality after Sunday ? [30]

His death educated people around the globe about Katyn

you know, i don't see that to tell you the truth.. the 70th anniversary of katyn killings was barely mentioned in the print or news.. most people on the internet discussed the plain crash but katyn didn't really surface as a topic.. in a way, the crash overshadowed the remembrance which really sucks, imho.

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

This would not have occurred in the US

oh yes it would depending on the circumstance.. a definite possibility here with just about anything..

hearing people say he was not liked and people are only going thru the motions in showing sympathy is utter rubbish.

i disagree.. we're all mourning for the guy and all the others.. it is a true tragedy but man, i just disagree with the burial decision.. that is all..

Well one thing seems likely, not that many overseas attendees at this rate...

check the list from a few pages back.. actually loads of foreign dignitaries are coming..

currently?? who?

all those other dead dudes and dudettes there.. there is a bunch of them..

and no one will ever really like you here

wrong again.. why do you keep saying sh.t like this.. makes you look less then normal.. come on filios buddy.. give it a rest.. kaczka is really non deserving of all that much praise.. seriously, think about it a bunch, please, maybe you will realize what we already know.. no wawel for him.. like i said, i really don't think he even deserves the cathedral in warsaw but i'd let him in there just so he's not in krakow.

What have you done for Poland, oh Polish Patriot,

i thought this thread was about kaczynski not me.. hmm

beside, jaruzelski didn't want me back so i am here, ok?

not sure if 70 is anything.. need to wait to 75 to be something.. ;) :D

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

The fact remains that he was President and died in the line of his duty

the fact is that he wasn't even invited so he didn't really die in the line of duty.. technically.

he was out of line.

yup but since a lot of his supporters are just as big of bigots they think he was just super.. him being entombed at wawel is a total travesty, imho.

You know this for a FACT or only from rumors?

sure seems like that is exactly what it is.. mark mhy words if you want to but the evidence points to the pilot making a tragic mistake. yup.

The bloke was a complete and utter [word

exactly.. lol.. i am surprised that some people seem to ignore the facts and now praise that guy.. he was not great by any stretch of imagination..

act like "dumb Polacks".

like i said many times before already, entombing kaczka and his wife at wawel is the A"dumb pollack" move.. it's ignorant of polish history..

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

but Kaczynski did die a martyr to the cause of bringing Katyn to light.

no he didn't.. he died because the pilot committed a fatal error.. has nothing to do with katyn.

The problem with burial is that it's really hard to get them out once they get in. But honestly, it's done. I don't think he should be there, but that's just me and a majority of non PiS voting Poles.

exatly. :(

History / Kaczynski's Legacy [88]

Good Polish-Russian relations.

what are you smoking.. that is one thing that definitely didn't happen under his watch.

In Walesa, there is a real life hero staring you in the face, a Nobel Prize Winner, and yet half the country has rubbished him in his own life-time.

Ungrateful mob.You couldn't make it up

thanks, so true.

hypothesis

that is all it is filios.. let it be.. kaczka was nowhere near the stature of Wałęsa.. learn to live with it buddy.. that is the TRUTH!. ha!

Further protests are simply detrimental to Polands image...

this burial is what is detrimental to Poland's image.. the protests are an expression of freedom what the populace wants or doesn't want... this certainly shouldn't be up to the twin.. i think Krakowiaks have the right to disagree with this deal.. same with the rest of poles.. i find the burial most disrespectful.

If this forum is somehow comparable...well....

there you go.... another great thing kaczka will be known for.. causing a huge split among Poles.. another reason he shouldn't be in Krakow.

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

Seriously, is it that hard for you to take that Poles actually think of Kaczynski as a hero, in more ways than one?

yes.. a rather impossible task..

also you slander Walesa achievements by calling him a commie.. he's no more a commie then kaczka.. and most likely less of one..

convex:
Aren't you half Polish?

Yup, born and raised in Poland.

then by your own reasoning you really only half allowed to comment on polish matters.. sorry.. let's keep it real. :D :D

Kaczynski will be. (for numerous achievements)

for crashing a plane.. that is it.. well, ok for being a huge homophobe and otherwise intolerant arse..

Yes indeed

lol.. you guys are crazy ...

Yeah cause you thought that I thought that I am a supreme being that should have anyone under their foot just because I have noble roots?

nope but you seem to think you are better then others which is utterly wrong. you are NOT. :)

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

But some better than others.

see, this is where our view diverge once again.. there is no better then others.. unless of course you are talking about me.. then yes. ;) :D :D

In 100 years when we are dead and gone, people will realize how critical 1989 was, and the heros that took part in Solidarnosc (who didn't sell out) will be accordingly praised.

yup and so was '79-'81... maybe even more critical in many ways then '89.. thus to me Walesa is heads above kaczka.. personal opinion.. sure but i think there wouldn't be as much stink as this terrible mistake.. and i think in a 100 years people will still go "why is kaczka buried at wawel? what were they thinking back then?" it really sickens me as kaczka is nowhere near deserving of being there.. next to kosciuszko or pilsudki.. extremely disrespectful to them and the others there.

if the word comes out that kaczka was the reason for this accident, i hope they just toss his coffin into wisla and let it float out to the sea. :D

You aren't Polish, and you have ZERO right to play down what he has contributed to Poland.

i disagree with that too.. everyone is entitled to an opinion.. he observed and thus can share his/hers opinion.. what is wrong with that?

Just a technical note:
after 50 years in a standard grave (6 feet, coffin etc) there isn't anything to rot anymore. Except perhaps in the case of ardent fans of MacDonald's, in which case some of their body parts will be pickled for a little longer.

actually and technically there will be quite a bit of the body left after 50 years in a sealed coffin like they are today here in the states.. one kind of liquefies a bunch but the bones and a bunch of stuff still remains.. also remember that one is shot full of embalming fluids and such before one is placed into a steel sealed coffin.

That would be supremely tasteless.

no.. what is tasteless is that kaczka and his wife (who has even less of a standing then him) are going to be entombed at Wawel along some of the greatest Poles ever. this is an honour neither of these two people deserves.. this is so wrong on so many levels that it's hard to even express.. there should be massive protest and blockades of the castle in krakow so this lunacy doesn't happen.. it is just not right.

Striving to preserve the dignity and gravity of the Wawel is "supremely tasteless"? What if the analysis of the Black Boxes reveals that Kaczynski ordered the landing against all expert opinion? What if his documented recklessness caused all those deaths? What then, when he's already buried in Poland's most sacred place?

right on.. i'm afraid of what will come from those black boxes.. i sure hope kaczka didn't contribute to this tragedy..

Another good point.

yes, great point.. if that was the case kaczka would be burried at the Warsaw cemetery..

I just think that it's highly unlikely that the pilot would have been pressured to put the plane down on the first approach.

one would think so but like lukasz said, there is a bit of a precedent of pressure by the ex-prez..

Kosciuszko, Sobieski, Jadwiga, Kaczynski, Sikorski, Poniatowski...

kaczka, definitely.. :D

When Lech Walesa will die, where do you think he would/should be buried ?

I'd be ok with him at Wawel or Warsaw Cathedral unless he specifies some other place.. His ship yard may not be a bad place either..

At least he was not buried in a mass grave in Katyn.

well... actually he kind of is there still.. or at least parts of him anyway..

Pan President. Just another mediocre.

that is the only thing i agree with you.. not the whole thing... just what i quoted. :)

If that is so then I am among the 5% that still are alive...

sure, sure.. lol

James86

i think you're off your rocker, bud... the post you read here aren't full of hatred but reality.. kaczka should not be buried at either wawel or the cathedral in warsaw... that would be extremely disrespectful to the people buried there.

Well, you can say he did die a "martyr"...

no he didn't...

I agree with you, but no need for this name..

that was his nick during life, why not call him that now.. i find it extremely disrespectful to even consider burying him at wawel.. extremely.. actually pisses me off

Wawel is where Polish kings, queens and heroes are laid to their rest and I find the decision wholly inappropriate.

here, here.. i sure hope that it ain't so... kaczka is not worthy of such honor... this is actually rather upsetting to me.. who the hell thought of this dumb move??? i hope there is an outcry against this in PL..

maybe the crypts of St. John's Cathedral in Warsaw

i disagree with that.. he was no great statesman.. hell, he wasn't really even average

they shoule be buried in Warszawa...

sure but not at the cathedral.. click torq's link and see the folks that have been buried there.. kaczka is nowhere near that stature.. i am against that location too.. no way in hell..
