History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

You mean they directed to the government of Poland which the people of Poland were to frightened of to replace for more than two generations.

Yes it took two generations to accomplish this goal peacefully, no thanks to you. Although you and US seems to think so and take credit for that but I have to admit if it wasn’t for Yalta we would not be in a position to do the inside job so to speak, so we do recognize your contribution. Funny thing is, every time it’s mentioned you seem to take great offense to it.

The Polish invitation

Produce this illusive document once and for all to see, there’s bound to be one somewhere in the museum. Like the Polish navy picture.

and the eastern command Poles were too cowardly to attend (although they did of course take part in the Moscow victory parade).

Speaking of cowardly. For the fear of offending Uncle Joe British failed to issue invite in the first place..

some of you thought that you were too special to come

Some of us observed the British etiquette. No invite, no show. You know when in Rome… It just would not be proper crashing the gracious hosts’ party.

You will note that that is not a unit of the Greek army being represented: it is the honour guard to the Greek flag. Poland could have had exactly the same representation

Face the truth man; you just like man wearing skirts. Could have, would have, should have, yet none of it happened.

but the Poles didn't show up

It’s not right for the gentleman to show up at a party uninvited.

Food / Home made fruit vodka from Poland [10]

Nalewki not “nalefki”

polkamaniac “Nalewka” is not samogona or bimber, it’s more like liquor at about 45%.

There’s so many, usually with fruit but they can also be made with herbs, roots, honey and other ingredients even nuts or combination of. It all depends on which one is of interest to you. Was it made of sour cherries? “Wiśniówka” probably most popular.

Basic recipe:
1 kilo of sour cherries
1/2 l of spirytus (You can buy it in US)
1/2 l of vodka (Your favorite)
1/2 l of water
Glass full of sugar.
Boil syrup out of water and sugar. Strain it and let it cool. In a glass jar place sour cherries previously washed, they don’t have to be pitted (I usually add few extra ones, crushed) but be careful there is a benefit to leaving them in as well as they can be harmful. Benefit is that they contain (HCN) which gives the finished product extra flavor as well as extra kick and a slight bitter taste, however in a large enough quantity (HCN) or Hydrogen cyanide can be lethal. Then add few cloves, spirytus and vodka, make a tight seal and leave it in a sunny warm environment for about 4 weeks. Strain to individual bottles. You can consume it right away; however for a better taste place the bottles in a cool dark place for a couple more weeks.

The cherries themselves you can use as garnish on pastry or ice-cream, delicious.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

So if you wanna blame somebody, blame them for bringing it up time after time.

It’s not a question of who the blame should be assigned to; there is only one true history which many so called historical scholars choose to ignore. From my perspective all I see is negative statements about Poland from the Jews on this forum, and frankly I’m sick and tired of this so in my mind occasional outburst is excused. It’s not YOU personally that I blame; your statement simply coincided with my outburst.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

Oh, there was resistance. But it's kinda hard to resist when you're unarmed against heavily armed soldiers who are set on killing you at the slightest pretence, isn't it?

I suppose Poles were much better off in your mind. Besides I suppose the arms and other supplies (not to mention the food) so this futile attempt was to be even attempted were smuggled there by the Germans, French or Dutch? Ungrateful bunch that only know how to accuse and blame others, constantly painting the picture of Polish Anti-Semite in their revision of history and press articles forgetting the true oppressor proving that it does not matter who did what but rather who compensated them in billions of dollars. If they can convince enough people of the lies hammered in by the negative press about Poland for decades, they hope to profit even more. They tell us and others to forget the past and move on while they themselves dwell on it and profit from it. It might sound like an anti-Semitic statement to the brain washed western mind but it’s the truth conveniently ignored by those that profit from Holocaust industry and a casual reader ignorant of small but very important details. You suffered, you were compensated, never forget but it’s time for you to move on.

News / I suggest a new location on the map for Poland! [44]

You're never gonna win this as long as your stuck in patterns of thinking that are 90 years out of date.

Win what? As far as I see it it’s neither a historical nor intelligent conversation on the subject, just another pissing thread started by xxxx who neither knows what he is talking about nor is funny about it, it’s all in his head. You start a stupid topic you get stupid reply then you cry about it, grow up will you.

implying that despite the outcome of WW2 Poland had a right to that territory anyway. How far back into the past are you willing to go to back up your claims that some land is Polish?

Perhaps you want to think about this one a bit more.

News / I suggest a new location on the map for Poland! [44]

You're right, I am still angry at the British for taking Sri Lanka, South Afrika, New York and parts of Malaysia from us.

There’s a difference between losing a colony and part of your territory. Besides you call that part of territory German land even though it’s in Poland now and still give me this BS quoted above. Answer me this if its part of some country it’s that country, that seems to be your logic all along yet you call it German why? You want to be funny, provocative or you simply like to offend us. Let me tell you, I find you neither funny nor provocative simply ignorant.

News / I suggest a new location on the map for Poland! [44]

So by this you admit that Poland has been using other countries' territory for a long time?

Now How you have reached that conclusion is beyond me.

I'm not ignoring the fact, I don't care about it.

There you go, you not caring is same as ignoring. There’s a fine line between having fun and being offensive. Perhaps you should head your own advice

if you cannot see the humour of this thread and act all offended, then don't reply

What’s the matter? you don’t see the humor in it because it’s true. Just because Germans and Russians used our territory for long time dose not make it theirs, you can ignore it or simply don't care about it but your attitude on the subject won't change that fact or rewrite the history of the land that used to be Polish.

I suggest that we'll move the border to the west coast of the Kamchatka peninsula

Who knows even that might be Polish some day.

And besides, PL has been moved quite a bit to the West, so you guys should be used to your country moving all over the place :)

No, the western borders finally moved to where they were long time ago, somehow you seem to ignore that fact.

So, where does Poland ought to be? It's been moved around quite a bit over time, hasn't it?

It ought to be where it’s at, Poland has not been moved it just shrunk a little over the centuries therefore it should expend east a bit like to Ural mountains, keep the Russians where they belong on the Asian side of the continent and South of course all the way to Jerusalem.

Genealogy / Origins of ruttkofsky or ruttkofska last names [11]

why would my great grandfather have the name with ska ending?????

Your great grandfathers’ name would be Rutkowski and your great grandmother would go by Rutkowska, btw that’s the proper spelling in Polish. It’s a common name, as for the origins I’m sure someone will post here sooner or later. They always do.

Ah, people's fantasies... ;)

You mean it's not true? But I read it in a book. Here's a little excerpt;

I forgot the title of this book and the author. It can be found in a science fiction section of your local library. Just ask your librarian, she will know.

Language / How to pronouce Szczygieł last name? [26]

There's nothing difficult about this word or any other words in Polish language. If your mastery of Polish pronunciation is that good after only two years then you have something to be proud of indeed. In my experience I have not met a foreigner yet that could pronounce those sounds like a native, they tend to soften those sounds. All Poles with no exception will tell you your pronunciation is good if what you have just said is understandable without me having to think twice about what you have just said.

How to pronounce Szczygieł last name? No matter how hard you try, if you're not native you'll never be able to pronounce it properly, especially if your native language is English.

Off-Topic / An English Version of Gadu-Gadu? [105]

Gadu-Gadu 6.0 build 141 wersja angielska (emoty.com.pl/download,gadu-gadu,instalki.htm), but I think It's just a hack that works by exchanging the exe file, you'll still have to download and install Polish version of GG with the same build number. Another alternative you have is to use the English version on the web, WebGadu without installation: web.gadu-gadu.pl/, or just register through that page and use Jabber or any number of similar clients.

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

If you're not talking about what's thought to be his remains then where did the DNA sample come from? You must have jerked him off to get the sample for DNA analysis, therefor you know that sample to be absolutely 100% his.

Stop pretending you have no idea what I'm talking about. Perhaps you don't, but if that's the case then I'm giving you too much credit. Consider this.

Nice try but you fail to address your fundamental problem: the team said 'remains which are thought to be...' (i.e. present simple tense) and you changed it to "remains thought to be..." (i.e. past simple). Oops. How inconvenient for you that you got caught changing the words of the team and still claimed you posted exactly what they said.

Beside a grammar lesson for everyone, what have you proven with this statement? “remains which are thought to be...” They are still just “thought to be”, contrary your claim that they are, they have not been proven to be his, there's the difference you know. Like I've said: “you've proven this to be true time and time again on this forum and continue to do so”.

instead of arguing your case (which you can't, because you don't have one), you start to chuck out the old ad homs in the vain

With you, there's no point really. You know the expression ”never argue with a moron, they’ll drag you down to their level then beat you with experience”, you've proven this to be true time and time again on this forum and continue to do so.

I concur. Got to love that! Harry your the only person in the world that would absolutely accept those results without question as long as it suits your point of view. Can you tell me why that's no surprise at all? Yet again making a statement defying logic.

But now that DNA shows that Copernicus was actually German, out come the phrases "skeletal remains thought to be those of Nicolaus Copernicus"!

In case you have a problem with comprehension, the word “thought” is a direct quote from the very same team that conducted the DNA analysis. The fact that you take it to be so (the words you like, to be like the words of the bible) at this stage of the investigation proves not only that the phenomena of an educated moron exist, but you're a living breathing proof of it.

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

The newest genetic research was a last one in a long list of arguments which point clearly to Kopernikus being a German

It most certainly dose not. I very well know who the team of the researchers were. That's not the point, and neither am I dismissing their analysis of the data, for now. This is not the time to scrutinize those findings yet. Here's an excerpt from your own link.

We report the results of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses of skeletal remains exhumed in 2005 at Frombork Cathedral in Poland, that are thought to be those of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543).

In case you have missed it, let me remind you one more time. The key word here is “analysis of skeletal remains thought to be those of Nicolaus Copernicus”. You can't point to this analysis as evidence supporting your case yet. Furthermore neither of the two pieces of evidence analyzed so far here can be proven to belong to Copernicus. That's what they try to establish here. It's only thought to be of Nicolaus Copernicus. So far, all they managed to prove is that in all probability it's the same individual they deal with, no more no less. Even this is iffy, due to the fact that the DNA material in this case was limited, degraded and not all of it was a match, so there is contamination. How can you make an argument that he was German based on the analysis of the DNA when there is a question as to who that material belongs to? So we have DNA, but is it Copernicus? We just don't know yet.

Hmmm....how come the different haplogroups then?

You're missing the point BB. What's with your fixation with haplogroups? The source I provided is from the article published by Uppsala University. The only reason why the DNA analysis was performed on the hair found in the book owned by Copernicus and kept at the Museum of that University, was to strengthen the case that the remains found are indeed those of Copernicus. As for proving his nationality, it's just wishful thinking on your part. I guess your selective reading will not let you understand the problem at hand.

In any case, the analysis of the hair resulted in interpretable profiles for four of the strains of hair. Of these, two of the strains have the same profile as the remains suspected to be those of Copernicus himself, as compared to the sample of hair found in the book which was owned by Copernicus. This would indicate that they are indeed those of Copernicus, but only as circumstantial evidence - not as proof positive.

The two matching samples of the hair might have as well belong to one of his relatives on his mothers side of the family, as well as the corps suspected to be those of Copernicus, this would explain the match and the two remaining samples that are not a match, could be his. This test can't prove or disprove this scenario and there's also a possibility of a random match. However this test dose prove that in all probability it's the same individual.

The point is they don't know for sure. The debate itself, still is whether or not those are the remains of Copernicus and you're jumping the gun by analysing haplogroups, stating that these are the remains of a German. They very well may be, after all we do know he comes from a mixed family, besides there are plenty of Germans buried in Poland and vice versa.

PS. The source that you provided, proves to me how desperate the Germans are to prove he's German. Without having concluded one debate, you start another. Like it's a done deal. LOL For goodness sake, let's come to an agreement whether or not those are the remains of the man in question in a first place, before opening Pandoras' box with your bombshell.
