News / Poland's Kaczynski blames Russia for brother's death [30]

Your only mistake is understatement. He's been using his brother's corpse as a political weapon since about a week after the crash -

Well....maybe I'm getting soft...but maybe, just maybe, he is still mourning?
Because it wasn't just his brother who died, it was his twin! He never spend a day alone in his life, they were close as non-twins can't imagine.

I could believe that the pain of missing his other half is still strong and sometimes unbearable....people suffering often strike out against others, blaming them and attacking them, trying to relieve their pain and anger...it's a psychological step during the grieving process. It's quite natural.

Problem is that he is also an outspoken, famous politician - so everything he says gets to the media!

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

I'm not denying it. Take Wrocław/Breslau for example - in its 1000 years of history it was German
for about 200 years - that's a long time, I'm not denying it

See, that's the difference in our thinking:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Wroc%C5%82aw

By 1139 two more settlements were built. One belonged to Governor Piotr Włostowic (a.k.a Piotr Włast Dunin, Piotr Włost or Peter Wlast; ca. 1080-1153) and was situated near his residence on the Olbina by the St. Vincent's Benedictine Abbey. The other settlement was founded on the left bank of the Oder River, near the present seat of the university. It was located on the Via Regia that lead from Leipzig and Legnica) and followed through Opole, and Kraków to Kievan Rus'. Polish, Bohemian, Jewish, Walloons[3] and German communities[4] existed in the city.

Breslau was Germany for about 200 years, now it's Poland for about 70 years but that means nothing for the Silesians who liver there since a millennia together.

I'm a Pole living in Poland.

Yeah...that's me...coming from a country where regions mean alot. ;)

Anyway - as Flagless noticed, the thread was started by Crow with the aim of sh*t stirring
and, to some extent, he succeeded - well done, Crow :-)

Nah...we are still chums! Right?

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

I'm from Silesia myself (Lower) - I was born in Jelenia Góra (ex. Hirschberg) and I have family
in both Lower and Upper Silesia, and none of them considers themselves "Silesians".

Well...it seems a huge misunderstandings. Actually you supports Palivecs post with that. In many eyes you don't really count as Silesians in the old sense but as a Pole living in Silesia.

You feel and see yourself as Silesian because you live in Silesia but since the old culture of the mixed people of Silesians died out in 1945 and were to a big part substituted with Poles from the East and now polish Poles make up 96,5 % of the people in Silesia one can say Silesia is a land without Silesians today (but with Poles).

Both statements are right....that you feel silesian and at the same time that there aren't many Silesians left anymore today.

Such is life...it's not an exact science like math actually....*shrug*

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

Today Silesia is overwhelmingly Polish and is going to be in a foreseeable future. Poles and tiny minorities
of Germans and Silesians live in harmony there and, at the end of the day, that's what really counts.

*nods*

But it's like with all died out cultures...In my family all what was silesian died with my grand parents...I miss it as some part of my heritage but nothing brings it back. It's just sad...(and we don't whine all day about it just sometimes)

Bear with us! ;)

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

is that because you agree or because you dosed off bored senseless...?
;)

Because I agree! :)

That's what my gripe with Seanie was about...Silesians never have been "true-slavs only".That was the unique and precious past of these lands...but that is a lost past now.

It's the same as living in Bavaria doesn't make you really a Bavarian automatically....just ask the Bavarians! ;)

Oh, well - cry me a river.

Stop being so pushy about it...there won't be any war about Silesia anymore, nor will there be tensions (from the german side at least)....but that doesn't mean that you have to sneer at people who mourn the gone past.

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

They were all Slavs at that party, BB. That's just a fact!

Of course there is, everybody knows what happened to the non-slav only Silesians!

But your attitude stinks: "Look ma - no Germans, all good Slavs only"!

Gah

Silesia will become what it once was, a flourishing center of trading and living for three peoples...the Germans, the Poles and the Czechs.
Better get used to the Germans...they have been part of these lands for 2 millennia!

They were all Slavs there, BB.

What is your problem Seanie...

However, the German influence is now very weak here.

You repeat yourself here....why? Who cares? All Slavs - no Germans...it makes one suspicious when you can't help yourself but mentioning that again and again.

Everybody who knows abit history knows that the precious silesian culture is dead. That it is now nearly homogenous polish, substituted with the refugees from what is now Ukraine.

That there are left real few true Silesians (and with that I mean the unique mix of three peoples NOT the Slavs only).

You keep harping on about it as if it is a good thing....

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

They are still true Slavs, BB. I was referring to Slavic folk :)

No, you spoke of Silesians...
My family were Silesians...you are a Scot living in Poland. Silesia has changed greatly and violently but that shouldn't lead to omitting the past and the facts.

There are some Germans here as I hear the ramblings and see the grossebauch :) However, they are very much in the minority.

What Germans? Tourists, business types from Berlin? Or Silesians?

(I hope BB doesn't notice this, lol)

Heh:)
My radar is still working!

But...true Silesians aren't slavs only. True Silesians are historically Poles/Germans/Czechs.
When you have "Slavs only" that aren't true Silesians but shipped Poles from the lost eastern lands.

But I fear both notions: "Genscher the meddler" and "no-German Silesia" are to deep set into your brain to change it for the truth ;)

The title is so obvious that no one can have any doubts about the contents

You should really, really loosen up!

These xenophobic guides exist for many countries but I have never read reactions about it like from you or MW. You make Poles look like dour, humorless, easily offended pouters....and you know, that is a German specialty! ;)

History / Why does the idea of a "Slavic Union" with Poland seem so popular on this site? [96]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R1a_(Y-DNA)

R1a and R1a1a are believed to have originated somewhere within Eurasia, most likely in the area from Eastern Europe to South Asia. The most recent studies indicate that South Asia is the most likely region of origin.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R1b_(Y-DNA)#Origin_and_dispersal

The point of origin of R1b is thought to lie in Eurasia, most likely in Western Asia.[7] T. Karafet et al. estimated the age of R1, the parent of R1b, as 18,500 years before present.[1]

Keeewwwwl! ;)

But....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R1_(Y-DNA)

The origins of R1 remain unclear.

- Haplogroup R1a. Mainly found in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and South Asia.

- Haplogroup R1b. Mainly found in Western Europe, Central Africa and South West Asia.

History / Controversial Chapters: Polish-German history texbook [8]

...One point on which conflict has repeatedly flared up involves the insistence of the Polish representatives that the word "expulsion" not be used to describe the forced flight of millions of Germans as World War II ended and after national borders had been redrawn"...

Fighting about words!
A sure sign that such a book is to early....it will need some more decades of reconciliation to write such a joint history, agreed on both sides.

Germans and France are able to now, with Germany and Poland it will take awhile longer.

Life / Why do people think that I'm Polish ? [92]

Polish Cordedware culture

There were Poles 2900–2450/2350 cal. BCE ??? ;)

Slavs came into central Europe around 600 A.D to settle in what is now Poland....

Yes, North & East Germany have more R1a like Poles than South & West Germans do.

Ummm...shouldn't you love them then? They are your genetic brothers! :):):)

North & East Germans asimilated so many Slavic tribes like Polabians, Sorbs, Kashubians ect

As Poles assimilated Germans...you are 1/4 genetical german! Your hate tirades are so misplaced!
