News / Pubs in Poznan kick out Roma? [256]


Expressing envy for a leisurely lifestyle is not theorizing.


That is unfortunate. The Gypsies would surely benefit from following my dietary advice and thankfully mafketis has offered to fund this educational program.

Wow when a someone with a penny-pinching shopkeeper's mentality offers to pay money you know he means business!

News / Pubs in Poznan kick out Roma? [256]

Work in the modern world tends to be boring. I envy the Gypsies laying about. Whats with the Protestant Work Ethic infecting a Polish discussion forum? Most of you sound like uptight petty bourgeois shopkeepers. I wish the Gypsies would turn the lot of you into werewolves for then you would be able to revel in the simple animal joys of life without caring about being goofy "productive" members of society.

Life / Support wanted to stop the sale of live carp in Poland [74]

Ah tradition hallowed be thy name, but may one still "spit" upon slavery, serfdom, blood sacrifice, witch trials, and infanticide?

The point of eating is nutrition so why not acheive it without dirty and disgusting brutality?

Life / Support wanted to stop the sale of live carp in Poland [74]


Another option is to forgo eating meat altogether. One can get enough nutrition without having to raise animals for slaughter. Those that would object by saying that they need their meat are analogous to the baby being weaned who cries for the teat. It's time for the human race to grow up and abandon not only the sale of live carp but other shameful dietary practices as well.

Where they stand upon grassless manure strewn dirt and eat grain from a trought rather than frolic in a pastoral setting.

Actually in the First World if it's meat it probably wasn't skipping around a field, but rather standing knee deep in its own feces penned up in a factory farm stall while being fed antibiotics so that is won't get too sick before it's fat enough to slaughter.

History / Poland obliged to make war reparations to Austria and Germany after WWI. Why? [119]


It is true that the original Prussians were a group of Balts that were destroyed by Germans who then adopted their name.

Yes that's the place. I must have read about it in a book that anglicized the spelling.

Adam Zamoyski is descended from the Polish magnates who ruled Zamost.

Off-Topic / Some Kurdish and Polish Similarities [53]

Here is a Polish-Kurdish couple, or rather a Polish-Kurdish cognate. The Kurds celebrate New Year's Day on the anniversary of a successful uprising against their Assyrian overlords led by one named "Kawa" which is Kurdish for "smith". The Polish cognate is of course "kowal".

History / If i could write European history i would unite Europe under Polish language [67]


Cornish is part of the Celtic branch of the Indo-European Language family and as such is no closer to the original language of the first European inhabitants than Polish. The only spoken language in Europe which would qualify as being nearer to the language of the original European inhabitants is Euzkadi (Basque).

History / Climate, weather event and Polish history [23]

Globally in the past decade a full nine years have been recorded as the the hottest on record. Climate change is real and the scientists who point this out are far from poor demented fools. However people who'd deny this because its cold where they are at the moment truly do deserve to be called fools.

Genealogy / Looking for information on the name BUCZYNSKI / Todorowski / Trocki [16]


Charles Bronson's father was a Lithuanian Tartar and a Sunni Muslim. His mother was a Lithuanian and a Roman Catholic. I don't know which, if any, religion Charles practiced. When asked about his ethnicity by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show Charles claimed to be Mongolian.

USA, Canada / Things that Polish-American should know about Poland. [168]

Polish-Americans should learn some Polish history and find out what a truly interesting country Poland was in the past. Learn about Sarmatism and The Golden Freedom. Read the memoirs of Jan Pasek. Read The Knights Of The Cross and The Trilogy by Henryk Sienkiewicz.

When the Poles invaded Moldavia in 1450 Dracula fought them at the battle of Crasna.

News / Poland's atheist loonies have had their 5 minutes [239]


They were Magi which means they were Zoroastrians. It seems that the newer moralistic faith needed its messianic claims confirmed by the representatives of an older one.

Life / Favourite Polish movies? [107]

The Polish movie, The Saragossa Manuscript, which is based upon Jan Potocki's brilliant book of intertwined tales, The Manuscript Found At Saragossa, has been cited by many of the world's greatest film directors as their favorite movie. Luis Brunel wanted to watch it again right after viewing it and until that time he'd never wished to watch any movie twice. It is truly a masterpiece.

News / 10,000 ISRAELIS READY TO CLAIM FOR POLISH CITIZENSHIP AND POLISH LAND! [628]


It is out of style amongst civilized people but not with Zionists. The Zionist entity in Palestine won't let the Arabs it expelled in 1947-1948 return to their homes. Making the indigenous populace into foreigners and then denying them their rights is a particularly pernicious form of xenophobia. If citizens of the Zionist entity in Palestine can prove their claims for land in the Polish courts and they wish to acquire Polish citizenship then let them, but they must be required to renounce their Israeli citizenship, and they should be educated regarding the fact that Poland is a multicultural nation where their Jewishness will not grant them anymore rights than the rest of the citizens have.

News / Pole-basher Gross up to old tricks [284]


Haha what a cheap ruse trying to smear the principled Norman Finklestein with the anti-Semitic label. Norman Finklestein criticized the racist colonial abomination that is Zionism. It is ironic that this book about starving Polish peasants who looked for valuables in Jewish mass graves at the end of World War 2 will be used by the holocaust industry to justify the existence of the Zionist entity in Palestine which is now building a "museum of tolerance" upon a Muslim graveyard in Jerusalem!

News / Pole-basher Gross up to old tricks [284]

The most pernicious influence that Jan Gross's new book is likely to have is not in Poland at all but rather in Palestine. Portrayals of Poland, which was the homelandland of the majority of world jewery before WW2, as an unsafe anti-semitic place are used by Zionists to justify the denial of Palestinian human rights such as the right of the refugee to return to his home.

The Zionists' horrible calculation is as follows: Jews were hated in Poland and so they must have their own sovereign state with a Jewish majority in Palestine. This Jewish majority was achieved by expelling around one million Gentiles from Palestine in 1947-1948. These non-Jewish refugees if granted their right to return would make Jews a minority in Palestine and thus they cannot return because Jews are more important than them. Zionism in short is racist and this book, and others like it, are used to claim Zionism is warranted by Polish racism. Of course two wrongs do not make a right, but never mind that. The Zionist argument is obviously unsound, but irrationality is part and parcel of racist colonial enterprises.

News / Composer Henryk Gorecki has died. [28]

A genius by definition has influence. An unnoticed and unknown genius would have had to have influenced people subliminally somehow.

History / The Way Back ( Długi Marsz movie) Colin Farrell, Ed Harris [27]

Hopefully this film will receive critical acclaim, and be successful at the box office, thereby leading to the cinematizing of Ferdinand Ossendowski's amazing journey through Siberia and Mongolia so vividly recounted in his book Beasts, Men And Gods. It would be very interesting to see Tushegoun Lama on the silver screen. What would the world make of an intrepid Buddhist Kalmuk superman? And what about the Baron Ungern Von Sternberg?

Aryans were an ancient group of tribes who settled in Iran, hence its name, and India. Germanics are not Aryans. The Nazi definition of "Aryan" is plainly wrong.

News / Poles don't have a heart for math... says The New York Times [84]

Far from showing the NY Times to be a Socialist newspaper this article reveals just how petty bourgeois it is. Studying the humanities ennobles people. This article suggests that an emphasis on high culture rather than math and science is bad for business. Well so what? Should educated Poles be as boring as the techno-nerds that muck up America? Listen to the bitterness of Pan Turski from the article: “I am not qualified to be considered intelligentsia in this country,” Professor Turski said, shouting with the enthusiasm of a man on a mission. “It is more important to sit and discuss Plato than to know how the chip in the computer works.” Yes Professor Turski the ontological is more important than the ontic and it appears that Poland is a country that still understands that.

Vegetarianism is the healthiest diet for one's body and for the Earth. We vegetarians are the future.

Life / The best of Polish stories, drama and art [7]

The memoirs of Jan Pasek contain some of the weirdest stories i have ever read. Their opening pages recount the gutting of live Swedish soldiers in a search for swallowed coinage and the stories continue to perplex and amaze the reader from then on. Truly Pan Pasek was a raconteur of the highest order. The incredible tale of his otter and her tragic fate alone warrants making these memoirs famous outside of Poland.
