News / Poland being the powerhouse of Europe [40]


If that happens, Poland is a doomed country.

News / Poland being the powerhouse of Europe [40]

Poland is a European country. India isn't so I think its more accurate to measure a European country against other European countries.

In general, the European countries that have been powerhouses all have bigger populations then Poland. Russia and all the EU richest nations Britain, France, Italy, Germany have larger populations then Poland and it has only helped their GDP. Even though Russia proportionally is doing worse then mainland European countries, at least it used its huge population to seize resource rich land over its history to sustain itself now.

For what its worth, here in North America, most Mexicans are dirt poor and uneducated, but they use their huge population to come over the border to make things better for their ethnic group as a whole.

Russia and Germany would never have been powerhouses if they had the population size of Hungary, Slovakia, Chech Republic, let alone Luxembourg.

News / How Polish diaspora see future of Poland? as ethnic Polish state or just Polish in origin? [120]

No you're the liar

I said this:

Better yet, Germany and Russia stole ALL of Poland between 1795-1917....they did it again in 1939 for two years.... and today Poland has diplomatic relations with both countries.

AND THIS IS YOUR RESPONSE???????

Well done, you manage to compare the situation when no Polish territory is being occupied and no Poles are being discriminated against to a situation where Poland was occupying what it had agreed to be the territory of another nation and discriminating against the unfortunate people who lived on their own territory; that is stunningly good work.

I'm clearly making the major point of referencing Poland's past of being occupied and discriminated against and then secondarily comparing it to how today Poland has diplomatic relations with those past occupiers and you come up with your above incoherent response??

But to be fair here, why don't you explain to me how you came up with your answer:

Well done, you manage to compare the situation when no Polish territory is being occupied and no Poles are being discriminated against to a situation where Poland was occupying what it had agreed to be the territory of another nation and discriminating against the unfortunate people who lived on their own territory; that is stunningly good work.

I have to hear this. Because your response answer makes absolutely no sense based on what I said.

News / How Polish diaspora see future of Poland? as ethnic Polish state or just Polish in origin? [120]

There is no selected edit on my part.

Its quite simple. I talked about Poland being occupied in two different times in history and you responded by saying basically: "Poland was not occupied and Poles were not disriminated against".

If you want to talk about things in the present, then WHY would you respond to a statement I'm making about the PAST?? Are you retarded?

There is NO selected editing here. I talked about something and you clearly responded to it and were hence caught in a lie. Now you're trying to talk your way out of it accusing me of "selective editing". Give me a break.


No its clearly a pity that you have to accuse other people of that which you do all the time. Lie.

So if I'm CLEARLY talking about two periods in time in the PAST about how Poland was being occupied and being discriminated against, WHY IN THE WORLD would you give me a direct answer that has NOTHING to do with the subject matter I'm talking about?

Are you hallucinating about what you see in messages? Is your mind working OK?

Poland is going to have a hard time becoming a powerhouse if its birthrate is not increased.

News / How Polish diaspora see future of Poland? as ethnic Polish state or just Polish in origin? [120]

No Harry you are the liar.

Are you trying to deny that you said Poland was not being occupied and Poles were not being discriminated against when I said Poland was being occupied from 1795-1917 and in WWII?

Well then look at my message #88 (top part) and your response to it in message #89. Here let me refresh your memory.

This is what I said in message 88:

Better yet, Germany and Russia stole ALL of Poland between 1795-1917....they did it again in 1939 for two years.... and today Poland has diplomatic relations with both countries.

This is how you responded.


You have a lot of nerve accusing me of lying when you are lying through your teeth.


Yes I'm sure if you spoke to the leaders of Poland and the average Polish person they would say Poland was not occupied during the partitions or being discriminated against. LMAO!!!!

Man are you nuts.

News / How Polish diaspora see future of Poland? as ethnic Polish state or just Polish in origin? [120]


Well done. You just proved for the umpteemth time what an anti-Polish Bigot you are.

You just basically claimed that Poland being whiped off the map by Germany and Russia from 1795-1917 and again from 1939-1945, did not constitute Polish territory being occupied and no Poles being discriminated against.

That's because in your anti-Polish mind, a "good Poland" is a Poland that does not exist and the hell with the ethnic Poles in occupied territory being oppressed by two other nations.

But what else can anyone expect from Silly Harry and his ingrained anti-Polish biases?


Yeah dream on. The last person I have to prove anything to is somebody like yourself.


You and your fellow Poland-Basher Delphiadomine keep talking about this "Busia" thing. I have never heard this word (that you and Delph dreamed up) so you mind telling me what it means???


This is code for:

I Delphiadomine want to bash Poles with impunity and I get offended when people of Polish ancestry challenge my Polish-bashing.

Says the Polish-Basher Harry.

The one thing the Polish diaspora is very conscious of is how Poland's enemies like yourself have been trying to define Poland according to your own anti-Polish viewpoint, to people outside of Poland.

You just sound like a Russian troublemaker.

News / Amnesty to Illegal immigrants in Poland [102]


Thanks for the advice.


I agree with you. Poland should do what Dubai does and NOT make foreigners in the country as citizens.

We in the US have made the mistake of giving millions of illegal aliens amnesty and it has only hurt the US. These former illegal Mexican immigrants now use their American citizenship to vote for more amnesty to illegal Mexican immigrants in America. These Mexicans in America have more loyalty to their ethnic background then to America.

This has been true with many of the ethnic groups that came into Poland. They have more loyalty to their ethnic background then to Poland and only ended up UNDERMINING Poland.

History / Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski [16]

Maybe.

I know a guy who knew him and he said he had no idea he was the "Iceman". He said Kuklinski played the "family man" thing really well if you knew him from a far.

History / Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski [16]

Yeah I know I was just kidding.

But I did read a summary of a book from an Italian guy who wrote on him and the mob, how Kuklinski either beat the hell out of or killed people who told him "Polish jokes", when he was younger.

I laughed when I read that.

I don't think it was a good idea for somebody to start a conversation with Kuklinski by calling him... "Polack"

LOL

Galloglaich,

For you to say what you said, I take you at your word that you're not trying to undermine Poland. I'm sure you're a nice guy. Just because you may have some views that are different than mine or some other Polish people here, that doesn't mean that you have bad will towards Poland or anyone else. The problem here is that there are anti-Polish trolls here who will use some of your information.......... against Poland and Polish people. That is what I think is escalating things here.

Well there's good an bad apples every where Seany. That Polish lady you said yourself was Pro-Serbian. I'm Polish American and I'm pro-Serbia. I'm also Pro-Crow ;) ;)


What does that mean??

Happy Halloween Seany!!

I'm glad.

I have started to like the Serbs after reading information from Serbs like you and others on this forum.


I agree.


Don't you think you are generalizing about Poland?

The last Polish president was Pro-Serbia.

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


This is true. Not only that but I read that Martin Luther mocked Copernicus by calling him a "foolish Pole" for discovering that the Earth went around the Sun. So even Copernicus' enemies knew he was Polish.


You say there are "many German Catholics remaining in Prussia after Luther". Of course there were still German Catholics in Prussia. Not every single one of them became Lutherans.

But if you mean "many" as in there were more German Catholics then German protestants in Prussia you are wrong.

Do you know what parts of Germany became predominately Lutheran and which parts were Catholic? Take a guess. Central, North and North East Germany became predominately Lutheran. So HELLO......what does that tell you?

Also one of your recent links talked about the SLAVIC background of Copernicus' mother's family.......even though she had a German name. Now I never knew Germans were Slavic?? LOL

Not only that your link said that the cities of Silesia were over half Polish even though economically the Germans were dominate.

Do you want me to show you those things in your own links on Copernicus?

You say Copernicus was of mixed ancestry.

I tell you what, why don't we split the difference here and both agree that Copernicus was mixed but that he was predominately of Polish ancestry?

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


Why don't you take your own advice and do the same? Half of your messages are flames at other people especially at Polish people you disagree with.


Why are you going so crazy about the definition of one's Polish ancestry?

Its obvious you don't care about the proper definition of who is or is not Polish. You are using a false argument just to DIMINISH the Polish ancestry of anybody who has done good things.

If Copernicus was a criminal, you would be the first to say he is 100% Polish and then you wouldn't split hairs as to his ethnic identity.

German nationalists and Neo-Nazis are pushing the notion that he is German. How would they know for sure especially when the nation of Germany didn't even exist when Copernicus lived? Yet I'm sure your on the side of the Nazis on this topic.

Why don't you go back to your Russia forums where you can have more fun openly bashing Polish people there more than here?

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


Your information is in reference to Germany in the past 140 years.

Sure there are German Catholics. About 40% of Germany is Catholic today.

But you do realize that where (and when) Copernicus lived, ie near or in German areas, those areas largely were the first to convert to German Protestantism?

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


Copernicus's ancestry is 100% Polish.

Copernicus' mother was not German just because her name was German sounding. If that was so, she and her whole family would have JOINED the religion of their fellow German Martin Luther like 99.9% of all the other Germans in their area when Martin Luther came on the scene.

Instead she and her family were glad to be CATHOLICS and glad to SUPPORT Poland! Germans back then were very proud of their ethnic background just like the Germans today who are trying to say Copernicus was part German. If Germans were not so adamant about their German identity back then, why did they do everything to maintain the German language and push German culture into nearby areas?? Neither ethno-centric Germans back then or today would be so adamantly supportive of Polish interests over their own proud German interests. A "German" mother of Copernicus would no more promote Polish causes over German causes then Germans today who are trying to say Copernicus' mother is German.

Poles historically spoke more German and have more German last names then any other nation outside of Germany. Part of it was due to Poland being adjacent to Germany. So Poles speaking German or having German names means NOTHING. They are still ethnically Polish. I have family members that had German names and spoke fluent German because at the time "when in Rome they did as the Romans" or in this case they lived in German lands and assimilated into German culture. Just like Copernicus' mother's family did.

History / Why have Poles contributed so little to Academics? (Particularly Science) [180]


AlexTheGreat: Except most Poles didn't consider Jews as fellow Polish neighbors for the majority of Polish history..


That's a good point.

I never understood that double standard.

If Poles merely make an observation about how a citizen of Poland is a Polish Jew (because many Polish Jews are proud of being Jewish and identify themselves as Polish Jews), that is a no no according to Jewish nationalists. But when Jewish nationalists distinguish a Polish citizen as a Polish Jew because he did something they thought was positive, then its OK.

I don't get it.

History / Do Poles really blame Britain for Poland becoming Communist after the war? [104]

Isthatu2,

I think that is a kind British gesture to the Polish people.

:)

Do you have any links on this or similar things?

I'm glad you posted these type of things before.

TODAY there should be no reason why Brits and Poles should not get along.

In my opinion, I am glad Britain has allowed Poles to live in Britain and to grow up in British culture.

History / Do Poles really blame Britain for Poland becoming Communist after the war? [104]

Although I have mixed feelings about this topic, as a Polish American, I don't know if I could blame Britain for Poland becoming communist.

Its a complicated topic and the British were in a tough position.

But hey, if its any consolation to Poles, at least Britain let in quite a few Poles right after WWII and in recent years. In my opinion, I think that was a kind British gesture and Poles should not take it for granted.

There might be some bad apples in Britain (like any country) but I generally have no bad feelings towards Brits.

News / Polish Diaspora - many of these 20 million actually speak Polish? [79]

Delphiadomine is a very angry Russian-Scot.

He got into hating Polish people, especially the Polish diaspora, after the Polish people (many in the Polish diaspora), questioned Russia's honesty in its reporting of the Smolensk crash.

News / Polish Diaspora - many of these 20 million actually speak Polish? [79]

As usual you sound like a crazy Russkie racist nazi.

If you look at Russkie racism it makes Polish racism look like nothing. Russkie racists went so far as killing tens of millions of people who they felt, "did not fit in" with Russkieland.


This sounds like more of your racist Russkie nonsense and my misspelling of Czech was a typo you fool.

Have you taken your meds today?

News / Polish Diaspora - many of these 20 million actually speak Polish? [79]


No you wouldn't have to do that. Only somebody who has a racist mindset like yourself would feel the need to do that.

Its interesting that somebody like yourself, who is NOT of Polish ancestry, regards nationalities like Czech, German, Ukraine, Lemko, etc as "polluting" material.

News / Polish Diaspora - many of these 20 million actually speak Polish? [79]

If one were to include people living around the world who have just 1/8 or 1/4 Polish ancestry, the Polish diaspora would be about 30 million people or more in the world.

History / Why have Poles contributed so little to Academics? (Particularly Science) [180]


There is a tendancy among some people to think that just about any great invention was from somebody who was Jewish.

According to some people, famous inventors like the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford were Jewish. Sorry they were not.

I doubt Polish Jews got all these Nobel prizes. But if they did, it was because they lived in Poland which gave them all their opportunities to be the best that they could be, which they did not get in most other countries. This is why most Jews CHOSE to live in Poland for ONE THOUSAND YEARS.

As for people of Polish ancestry, the co-founder of the great company Apple Computer, which has revolutionized the world with its technology, is of Polish ancestry.

Enough said.
