Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]


Not being honest, cheating - hurts more, in my opinion.

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]


Was king polkakamon writing about dating?
If so, why on Earth was he dating girls who have boyfriends? o_O


Southern, have you been dating a prostitute? ;D


Bull...t :)


Southern, in every nation there are all kinds of girls. I just don't buy that in some nation girls are good and in other girls are bad :) That's just stupid, sorry.

And I know Polish women, work with them, talk to them, hang about with them.


LOL

Southern, where do you live? :)

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]


And she knows what you're writing here about Polish women? So what harm there would be if she knew what you're thinking about her?

It looks like you're not honest with her.

Is Russian rap your source of knowledge about the world and its inhabitants? :)))


LOL

And what's wrong with that? Women don't have right to speak to other men and their boyfriends in your presence? ;D


Funny, I don't meet such Polish women though I live in Poland :) Maybe you have bad taste in women and mingle with wrong sort of people.

Or maybe you're simply jealous? :)


And what? Is your wife selfish, self-centred, vain, moody, ignorant and mutters expletives at you? :)

I was thinking the same thing :)))

Seanus, aren't you married to a Polish woman? :)


I think they're more likely to run from you than the other way round :)


Indeed.

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]


Не за что :)


:)


Yes, I know :(
But I think some of their views originated from long before reading Polish articles and forums.

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]


Not only NKVD. Also today's Russians :( I've noticed they preffer AL.
At least those Russians I was writing about before.

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]


Yes, Inosmi :) But most of the "fans" of Poles and Poland moved to "Inoforum" ;) And then to another forum.


I hope so :)
But I must admit sometimes I wonder whether some of their views are marginal or predominant in Russian society. It's because I meet mainly such Russians. It seems that Polish themes somehow attract this sort of folk. I guess they feel a need to fight against the enemies of Russia, even on the internet ;)

You know, some of them are nice. And those Russians write they don't hate Poles. But their views give me creeps o_O


Yes, but on the Polish internet. Poles rarely visited Inosmi and then Inoforum. They usually don't know these forums exist (which is good, I think ;)). And they don't know Russian language well enough to read or to write there.

Unfortunately I missed the parade in Moscow (it was to early for me for a Sunday morning ;)). But later I went to the Soviet cemetery in my city to light a candle and put a flower :)

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]


Yup. Those Russians I came across on the internet were very patriotic about Russia. The only Russian thing they attacked was liberal opposition and liberal media.


I'm sure there are such people on the internet.
But I personally have different experiences. I discussed mainly with Russians from Russia. Also with some living in Ukraine and Poland. There is a Polish-Russian LJ community I visit and there are only Russians there. I also know a Russian forum where there are Polish articles, blogs and forums being translated on a daily basis (if I'm not mistaken Borrka is well known over there thanks to those translations). You can imagine what's going on in there :)))

But I think those people are a "specific" crowd. Or, at least, I hope so ;)

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]


Not really.


Where?

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]


Well, I think Poles know well enough that with Russia we have to have our eyes on the back of our heads ;) But it won't hurt to try and make our relations with Russia better, I think.

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]


They weren't present also at the funeral of president Kaczyński and his wife. President Medvedev came and Poles appreciated this. And so Komorowski will be present at the parade in Moscow.

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]


So you're younger than me. Masz jeszcze czas żeby zmądrzeć :)


And? Do you hate them?


I think I know what you're talking about. I've read some articles. But there were and probably still are neonazis in Poland too :) I never could understand how it's possible :) There even was a neonazi girl at my school :)

As far as I know there's some problem with memory in the Eastern part of Germany. But that's probably a problem of all former communist countries. We have problems with dealing with our past. Look at Russia, for example.


History should be remembered and be a lesson for us all. It won't guarantee us it won't happen again (look at the Balkans, for example) but I agree it's important. But why hate? Do you need hate to remember?


I don't watch much TV, to be honest :) I can make up my mind on my own.

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]


"Remember" doesn't mean "hate". Hate is a bad, destructive feeling. It will eat you up, eventually. Believe me.
How old are you? Have you met any Germans at all?
Those Germans who did something to your family are either dead or very old.
So do you hate all Germans? Even the young ones?

Life / Do Polish people have a temper? [53]

LOL


Oh, really? :)
Have been known? By whom?
And in comparison to women of which nationality? Do they have more violent temper than Spanish women? Italian women? Russian woman? I believe not :)


Um, what? Elaborate, please :)


LOLI asked you before in another thread, but I think you didn't answer my question - what's your nationality? :)


What? ;D


Oooh, you weakling... :)))


Oh, and why is that? :D


And, of course, there's no way that a 26-38 year old "spinster" from any country could have "dramatic hissy fits", be frustrated or something, only Polish women! :)

PolishNutJob, why do you hate Polish women so much? :) I've noticed in your other posts on this forum that you have something against Polish women :) Why is that?

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]


Because at that time in Poland there was the biggest community of Jews in Europe. In 19th century it was 1/5 of world's Jewish population. So I guess it was easier to bring all the rest of Jews in Europe to Poland than the other way round. And I think there was something about railway routes - it was convenient as Poland was Germany's neighbour or something.

News / Polish minorities in Bielarus, what's going on? [7]


I'm not sure if you realise what this means in Belarusian reality? ;): "President Lukashenko said identification and registration of all web users and publications would now be mandatory in an effort to curtail online dissidence and opposition."

msnbc.msn.com/id/34633201/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets

"He told journalists that a new Internet bill, proposed Tuesday, would require the registration and identification of all online publications and of each Web user, including visitors to Internet cafes. Web service providers would have to report this information to police, courts and special services.

Lukashenko has ruled Belarus with an iron fist since 1994, weeding out opposition and dissidents. All television channels and most print media have become state-controlled, and many of the independent newspapers ordered closed have taken refuge in cyberspace.

Last June, Belarus adopted a media bill that allowed the government to close Web sites without warning and imprison journalists for reproducing foreign media reports."

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

I think that if MediaWatch feels connection to Poland and Polish people because of his/her roots he/she has right to feel in this way. Even if he's/she's rather odd ;)

There are a lot of Poles and people with Polish roots outside Poland and we feel connected to them. We call them "Polonia":

In Polish:
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonia

In English:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonia


Why do you think so? I doubt Poles (at least in Poland) create any conspiracy theories behind jokes.
I simply wrote how I feel about those jokes. And explained to beelzebub why Poles may be sensitive about them.


Well, I don't know, it's hard for me to tell. I suspect that it's probably more "the white Anglo-Saxon vs. all the rest" ;))) I doubt people in USA know what a "Slav" is ;) Or do they?

Some Russian people think that people in the West consider Slavic people as inferior or something.
But I don't think that's the case :P
I think people in the West probably look down upon all countries East of them - Slavic or non-Slavic. It's the case with all poor and not as developed (in many areas) countries as their own. Another thing is the fact that the Eastern countries were behind the Iron Curtain. So the West and the East have different experience and different problems.

And don't know much about each other as they were divided for 50 years.
I guess for people living in the Western countries everything that lies East of them is a land where dragons live, there's an eternal winter and polar bears walk the streets ;))) In the US probably the more so ;)

Also, in the Eastern countries dominate the Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church. In the West either protestant churches or atheism, and in some countries - Catholic Church.

Remember that Roman Empire reached only Germania (so Romans stopped in the middle of today's Poland, I guess). I'm not a historian but it probably had it's influence. Romans introduced in their colonies Roman law and Latin. In Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia Latin alphabet is used, in Serbia - both Latin and Cyrillic alphabet, but in Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria, Russia - only the Cyrillic. The West is a Roman culture, and most of the East - Byzantium culture.

So despite the fall of the Iron Curtain there is a division into the West and the East. Those are different cultures. And some think that this what is different is worse and thus dislike it and mock it. But I think such people are probably in minority on both sides ;)


Ukraine is struggling, has many problems right now, so it can't be very positive.
And Russia... well... Russia hasn't got good press in Poland either ;) But that's another story.


Yes, I agree with you.
Maybe seeing Russian athletes in this way in the US is a remnant of the Cold War era. In the times of communism female athletes from the East Germany (GDR - German Democratic Republic) were famous for taking steroids (and God knows what else ;P) and they indeed looked masculine. Simply in communist states sport was an important propaganda tool and athletes had to win whatever the cost. Even if their health was at stake.


Ahhh, I'm a fan of figure skating :)))
In this free dance Maxim and Oksana skate, among others, to the music of Zbigniew Preisner from the movie "Double Life of Veronique" directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski :)

It's one of my favourite films :)


Well, I try to appreciate all ethnic groups and nations ;)

Btw, what's your nationality? :)

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]


Thank you, Softsong :)))

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]


Perhaps. But maybe there is a reason for this?
I've heard that there are "Polack jokes" in the US but never cared much about it. It's a country of immigrants and I knew there are probably also jokes about other nationalities.

But reading this thread was unpleasant for me, with all these jokes and some people defending them so strongly.
True, I've always had a "thin skin" in general.
Now even more after two or three years of disscusions with Russians on the internet :)

You write "get over this", but it's easy to say.
You're an American (and probably white, yes? ;)) and I doubt your nation (or, at least the white part of it, except for Jews ;)) ever experienced anything similar to what Poles, and Slavs in general, experienced during the nazi occupation. In the nazi propaganda Slavs were something between a Jew and a human :) They were meant to be slaves and were treated as such. As something worse. So MediaWatch's ranting is of course crazy but there is some truth to it, at least as far as Polish "sensitivity complex" is concerned ;)

But it's not only the nazi.
The Soviet and communist propaganda also made everything Polish before the communist rule in Poland look stupid, wrong. Even in the time of partitions those who partitioned Poland claimed that Poles aren't able to rule their own country and thus somebody has to do this for them :)))

After the collapse of communism it became obvious how much Poland is behind the Western countries (though Poles realised this even before that) - a poor backwater. It didn't add to our self-estime either :)

Generally, in Europe, I think, there is a kind of "West-East thing" (besides a "North-South thing", but maybe "North-South is not as vivid, I don't know). Countries in the West look down upon those East of them. So, let's say, Germany would look down a little bit upon eastern countries, Poland would look a little bit upon probably any country east of Poland, and Russia would look down a little bit upon the Asian republics, the Caucasus and China. And so everybody would be sensitive of what is said west of them ;) Well, except for the Western countries, of course :)

Anyway, maybe someone who tells "Polack jokes" could take this into consideration?
I think Poles after those 20 years lost most of this kind of inferiority complex, but probably not all of it ;) Maybe that's why there are so sensitive.

And why, beelzebub, telling these jokes is so important to you? Is your need of telling them more important for you than the fact that you can hurt somebody by telling them?


Well, that's strange thinking... It looks a little bit as if you were looking for an excuse to tell them :/

Not everybody has such thick skin as you have. And don't have to. People are different and I try to respect that. For example, I don't tell or write certain jokes about Russians because I know that some Russians can find them offensive. I've noticed many Russians are even more sensitive of what is said about them than the Poles. They think people in the West consider them inferior, not even humans o_O It may sound strange but it goes back apparently even to the times of Chekhov (or at least I had such impression while reading one of his short stories - I don't know the title in English, probably "The Daughter of Albion" or something of this kind).

So maybe have more mercy for the Eastern people ;)))))

Ufff, I guess I wrote too much :P Sorry for the mistakes but English is not my native tongue and right now I'm too lasy to look all of this up in the dictionary ;P

Oh, one more thing - someone wrote earlier that Poles can't laugh at themselves. I think anybody who lived in Poland for a while and seen sketches of Polish "kabarety" (I don't know the right English word for it) about Poles and Poland and how Poles laugh at them, knows it's not true :)))

Life / Polish dubbing in movies; why is it so that on polish television all the films are dubbed? [135]

There are two reasons why we prefer the narrator rather than Polish subtitles:
1. we got used to it ;)
2. the structure of the Polish language (for Poles reading subtitles is more difficult) It's explained in this article:
