News / Poland sends firefighters to help Russia [67]

Poland sends firefighters to help Russia and Russia sends Poland a hefty gas bill ;)

I think it's a normal human reaction - we are helping our neighbors and not Putin or Gazprom.
Sympathy and support to people fighting the fire is by far better than never ending barking, hatred, and schizophrenia.

History / Endecja - State Sponsored Anti Semitism 1935 - 1939. [138]

Shoah really can alter your view on things

Take a group of primitive imbeciles from any nation, provoke them to discuss subject they only remotely understand and then you already got Lanzmanns movie.

I have to agree .
Probably every single element of Shoah movie was true.
Combined together and presented to some ignorant public it creates really anti-Polsh picture of Holocaust.

News / Poland - the least liked German neighbour. [210]

those in the West who never met a Pole in their life.

Nonsense - Polish large scale post ww2 emigration to Germany was to the West only (the old Bundesrepublik).
Even now the "new" Germany is not very interesting because of its high unemployment.

'm here writing about that part of German nation similar in their Weltanschauung to Bratwurst. They have also decent, smart and educated people there too.

Don't forget BB is an Ossie with all their inferiority complexes and he comes here in need of therapy - to play Great Zampano.

But in general Germans are not better or not worse than other Europeans.

News / Pole loses language discrimination case in Germany; Scandalous! [97]

Back to "Jugendamt".

Jugendamt was creation of Adolf's bureaucracy but to call it a Nazi-nightmare is demagogy pure.
Denazification of Trizone (the old Bundesrepublic) was quite successful (on the contrary to so called German Democratic Republic where part of the Nazi-structures was peacefully reshaped to be in service of the workers and kolkhosnicks' state) .

Jugendamt is rather similar to Scandinavian structures with all their advantages and idiocies.
Not as bad as you try to portrait it but sometimes it's not easy to cut through the red tape and bureaucratic nonsense there.

The real troublemakers - Turks, Roma, Arabs are taboo to Jugendamt so in order to show activity they are looking for easy victims like Poles.

No political correctness necessary, no racism involved but nice language related communication's problems

Point

state supported anti semitism in Poland

Trade Unions, political opposition, universities, radical movements and their propaganda tools are not the state.
So you definitely failed to prove charges of some state sponsored anti-semitism in the pre ww2 Poland.

History / Endecja - State Sponsored Anti Semitism 1935 - 1939. [138]

130.000 Jewish soldiers fighting the Soviet troops in 1921

Nobody was fighting the Soviet troops 1921.

In the Endecja-years when anti semitism was made official policy in Poland.

"Endecja years" are fiction - phenomena you're talking about took place when Sanacja had the political power in Poland. We can speak only about general radicalization of political arena what was fully in line with the pan-European scenario.

the State conducted and sponsored anti semitism of the years 1935 - 1939.

Again fiction. Actually "the state" used to jail both ... Polish nationalists and rebelling minorities.

News / Pole loses language discrimination case in Germany; Scandalous! [97]

I don't know anybody who speaks it...only Poles or relatives speak it.

There are more than one million so called Spaetausiedler aus Polen in Germany.
People with German roots but they speak better Polish than their "native" German language.
To find Polish interpretor (German citizen) is quite easy in West-Germany.

History / My Great Grand father took part in the Battle of Warsaw! [90]

I must have been a very young boy when he used to listen Radio Free Europe celebrating the Warsaw victory.
Given more and more sophisticated jamming sounds in the broadcast's background I wasn't able to understand the message but I still remember his words:

1920 I killed five bolsheviks with my ulan-sabre !

BTW. In my family and neighborhood he was a well-known Russophile and loved to speak Russian.
I don't remember a single negative word about Ruskies from him.
Same goes for his diary.

Po polsku / Trzymajcie się ciepło! :) [25]

Moglo Ci sie znudzic, ale takie decyzje z powodu jednego glupawego postu ?

Jesli kogos nie interesuje Gdansk, nie wymaga to komentarzy, szczegolnie, gdy "alternatywe" widzi w naszych cienkich Tatrach LOL.
Bo Gdansk jest fenomenem europejskim, a Tatry takie bardziej "low profile"....

To, ze jest wiele syfu ... nie do ukrycia.
To, ze coraz mniej tez.

Ogolnie glupota tego postu - Polacy szczupli z glodu - jest zabawna.
Z jednym sie zgadzam.
Moderatorzy sa w.....cy i jeszcze im doloze, tyle, ze chwilowo nie mam czasu.

Travel / Poland-My 9-day experience [239]

Glum and depressed is generally the Slavic demeanour

Anyway I see a bit of generalization here.

What's wrong about me and Crow, dear BB ?

As for your discussion with Crow I suggest you some mental exercise BB.
Just imagine .
In some years the Turks-overpopulated area between Aachen and Mainz will be given to its legal owner ... Turkey.
All in accordance with some legally valid EU-decision !
Now you can (maybe) imagine Crow's emotions in case Kosovo.

Back to Alemania and Poles.
Your mass-media are still busy creating some negative picture of us.
And Polish equivalent of the Harald Schmidt show would cause disgust and provoke pro-German voices in Poland.
Take it for granted.

Language / Are the languages of Russian and Polish similar at all? [94]

I think Russian's a lot easier than Polish, and part of the reason is due to grammar.

It means only you are not in position to compare Russian and Polish.
We share only about 60% of vocabulary with Ruskies (75% with Slovaks) but similarity of grammatical structures is really striking.
So any "easier versus harder" classification does not make any sense.

News / Poland - the least liked German neighbour. [210]

300 years aggressive anti-Polish propaganda pays off - from Friedrich der Große to Dr Goebbels or his grotesque ARD successor Harald Schmidt.
And the result is what the average "standard" Heini says "ich mag die Polacken nicht, wie auch andere ost- und südosteuropäische Völker die Polacken eher skeptisch bis verachtend betrachten, so sollten wir als Deutsche immer Vorsicht gebieten im Umgang mit den Polacken.

Ich für meinen Teil würde nur mit einem Panzer und feldgrauem Ehrenkleid den nordöstlichen Nachbarn besuchen."
LOL.

News / Why are Czechs more effective than Poles and Poland? [116]

Poland's main importer was the SU

Exactly like in case of Czechoslovakia.

.Czechs kept secret relations with Austria and Germany throughout the communist period

You're delirious.
Aren't you ?

they seem to do much better than every other former eastern Block country

Pre-ww2 Czechoslovakia was one of the top European economies (comparable with Belgium) and Czechia was the most prosperus and industrialized part of it.
This is the main reason for their good position today.

History / 1587-1588 Poland's War with Austria [22]

if I were Tsar of Russia I would ally myself with the Polish people

Too much German blood in their veins and starting from Catherine II technically (genetically) czars were 90% German with German princess imported every generation what kept them even mentally Germanic.

Look BB.
Germany can afford these huge shows and it's very useful for German image.

But it does not change the true history.

Some examples please?

The last Fall of the Wall anniversary was for free.
Yep, I know it.

But back to the main topic - the Vistula miracle.
Even then Germans position was truly disgusting LOL.

Except spending millions on the worldwide known propaganda actions.

History / Miracle of the Vistula 80th anniversary? [56]

Don't try to show the East-German run-aways as a anti-communist fighters, BB.
Nothing heroic about them - economic calculation pure.
Later, after the Wall was constructed it took more guts than a Sunday morning walk to West Berlin but still absolutely no political motivation.
DM was what counted LOL.

History / Miracle of the Vistula 80th anniversary? [56]

Please, don't overestimate Poland's role in all this.

And where you see any overestimation ?
I just said "It was an important part of anti-communistic movement" like Czechoslovak or Hungarian revolutions were.
Weren't they ?

It was because of Gorby's abandonment of the Brezhnev doctrine in 1988

Chris, it's kindergarten level understanding of the communist society.
Doctrine meant nothing in Soviet communism - it was pragmatism pure.
Doctrines were for so called "useful idiots" in the West.

History / Miracle of the Vistula 80th anniversary? [56]

It was part of the process.

Very true.

If there would not have been Gorbashov who allowed it to happen

Not true at all - You are contradicting yourself cause Gorbachov was only to trigger the final scenario like Paul Tibbets (pilot who bombed Hiroshima) but there was a long political and economic process in Comecon behind his decisions (or rather forced moves).

And Poland's role was quite important.

It's German propaganda and German mass media attempt to hide away the total and shameful passiveness of the both German states - the former GDR and FRG - in the post-war fight against communism.

Actually it was rather a full scale support given to Soviet communism.

Gorbatchov's myth was created in order to support the Wall fairy tale ("Wir sind das Volk") and German history whitewashing.
