Life / Why is cheating at schools in Poland accepted?! [155]

I'm not saying that all of you are like that but quite a few and not only on this forum.

Which is in a blatant contrast to brits and americans. For sure.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]

No, not really! He was a mad man and I doubt he really gave a shit about the Germans there, he used them as a tool.
But the feelings of the german folks was real, he rode on it to power!
Without that treaty he wouldn't had came to power in the first place, I'm sure of that...

But this treaty gave you the independence...so what now?

There really isn't an easy answer to that question. It was impossible to please both parties.

I'm sure that we still will have a different take on those events, but than again, we don't have to agree with each other on this. The important thing is that we were able to hear both versions of the event.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]

But I trust nobody told you about that in history lessons in school either, am I right?

Well it certainly looks like they have covered this subject thoroughly on your history lessons.

Do you honestly think that once Hitler would got what he wanted from Poland , he would stop making any more claims? Or, maybe satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations he would like to see Greater Poland and the parts of Silesia that were joined to Poland as a result of a plebiscite, back in Reich?

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]

As I said before, the problem wasn't that you got your independence but that you wanted it at the costs of the Germans and you wanted even more and even more...a huge country without any Germans at all and that in a region which was heavily mixed and partly overwhelming german for nearly a millennia!

Right, poles should had have their independence, but ony at the cost of Russians. Only then it is fair. :)
For your information, the lands that Poland got after the WWI were predominantly inhabit by Poles, with an exception of Danzig which actually, in contrary what you have numerously written here on PF, wasn't added to Poland. It was granted a status of a free city, neither under Polish nor German jurisdiction. The post WWII shift of PL-GER boundaries is a totally different story.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]

PS: All over Europe this Treaty is seen now as a fault and a disaster but not in Poland, that should tell you something...

This treaty gave polish people an independent state. Should we cry about it?

Besides, I remember that in a topic about Kosovo and in a different one about Abkhazia and South Osetia you were clearly and strongly for nations having the right to have their own independent and sovereign states. Are you of a different opinion when it comes to Poland and Poles?

When other countries arte concerned than certainly yes, but when we talk about German Reich than it's a disaster, eh? Some double standards there Bratwurts?

No corridor either...no tries for compromises, no negotiations...after all the Brits and the French would be there to help you, wouldn't they!

But can you blame them? One of the reasons why Hitler was so popular among Germans was the fact that he was openly against the resolutions of the treaty of Versailles, the international act that was the basis of Poland's existence as a sovereign state, which the Germans saw as very unjust and humiliating. A statement that more than once you acknowledged on this very forum.

The exterritorial rail and highway were in fact Polish ideas from the 1920's that were abandoned later on once Hitler and his aggressive politics started to flourish, and the intervention of French and British diplomacy is just a clear sign that Poles weren’t alone in the right evaluation of the way Germany was heading in the late 1930’s.

Or are you maybe of an opinion that they all were wrong and Hitler wasn't in fact a cunning, unstable psychotic warmonger?

I hate to tell you this but getting your arse handed to you on a plate over and over again doesn't qualify you as being a warrior nation.

Let me guess, you know it because you made a history project in your high school... Lol

Law / Irish welcome on Polish building sites ? [47]

There has been a story going around in the Irish media, that signs are appearing on Polish building sites ''Irish not welcome'' - or words to that effect.

Yep, next to "Rothschilds, don't even bother!" ;)

Ahh Sokrates. Nice to see someone bringing back politeness to the conversation.

As for the topic, I had a serious crush on the corrs once. Ohh they truly are proper PIG's. I mean proper Pretty Irish Girls of course. :)

I don't know about youz folks, but I've noticed that most men who complain about the looks of some certain group of women are the ones who wouldn't have the chance to date them in the first place.

Language / Old Polish Vs New Polish [29]

Having a book that is about 40 years old, I do wonder if much has changed since it was written.

Well languages evolve so I'm sure that there must have been some changes but not to a degree where you wouldn't be understood.

A 40 year old polish-learning book. That's quite an antic.

The book I'm learning from also seems to have a few words that may be a bit dated now.

Jaje. :) It is still being used, but not in standard Polish.

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

Only 60 years later??? He should know about it, don't you think? It's nearly the same time frame!

The author of the words which just few pages ago claimed to be the words of Copernicus, namely:

Nicolai Copernick Canonici Varmiensis in Borussia Germaniae mathematici ... ("of Canon Nicolaus Copernick from Warmia in Prussia of Germany, of the mathematician ...")

not only didn't knew him personally, but he didn't even knew the guy to whom the manuscript was passed to. Further more, he even didn't knew the guy who got the manuscript from that guy who got the manuscript in the first place. Actually, he even didn't get the chance to meet the guy, who got the manuscript from a guy, who got the manuscript from a guy, who got te manuscript from Copernicus. BBoy, are you being serious here?

And are you going to appologize to the good people of this forum for your lie or are you going to change the subject as usual?

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

BBoy, could you please provide us with the link to the source of that quote of yours?

Bratwurst is using criteria from WWII not 21st century and even if we take WWII criteria ... he is not right

Well it's a pity that he is altering the facts. Like for example with the signature of Copernicus on the manuscript of "De revolutionibus".

First of all, the signature "Nicolai Copernick Canonici Varmiensis in Borussia Germaniae mathematici ..." doesn't mean that Copernicus considered himself German like BratwurstBoy wrote here:

The Copernicus manuscript book states : [...] Nicolaus Copernicus Canon [in] Warmia, in Prussia Germaniae mathematician...(Nicolai Copernick Canonici Varmiensis, in Borussia Germaniae mathematici)

For there isn't a debate anymore actually as Kopernikus himself described his nationality quite clearly! But these stubborn Poles...:)

It actually means as follows: "of Canon Nicolaus Copernick from Warmia in Prussia of Germany, of the mathematician ...". Hardly the same, innit?

And secondly, this signature was added by a German Jakob Christmann, 60 years after Copernicus death, in 1603.

Here is the quote and the source:

A De revolutionibus manuscript of Nicolaus Copernicus passed[1] via Rheticus to others and was marked on 16 December 1603 by Christmann with Nicolai Copernick Canonici Varmiensis in Borussia Germaniae mathematici ... ("of Canon Nicolaus Copernick from Warmia in Prussia of Germany, of the mathematician ...") [2]. Since 1953 it is located in Cracow in the Jagiellonian library (Signatur: Ms. BJ. 10 000), accessible online.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakob_Christmann

So much for BratwurtsBoy's iron proof. Bad, bad Bboy.

PS: Ahh those stubborn Poles, innit? ;)

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

From his works which made them so famous...it's his signature!

If you are thinking about ""De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" than I would like to check your sorce because to my knowladge the signature only includes his name and the agjective "Thorinensis".

Education and heritage aren't interchangeble with passports...Or else the family of Kopernikus really would had become full Poles once the town Torn changed hands.

But you are aware that Copernicus never studied on a German university?

PS: The whole argument is a bit strange, as we are arguing about the nationality of a person that lived in the XV century using cryteria of a nationality from XXI century. But what ever...

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]

one Professor Lew-Starowicz doesnt mean anything...

Prof Lew-Starowicz is probably the best known sexologist here in Poland. Quite a prominent person, and a great expert in this field. This is why I named only his name, which doesn't mean that he is the only person that claims what I stated in my previous post. If you really are interested in thus subject, check any site about pedophilia and you will know that I'm being right.

IMO females are about 170 - 175 cm

I don't think so. 170 cm is very tall for Polish women.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]

How exactly do you know that?

From professor Lew-Starowicz. People either become pedophiles because they were in fact victims of a sexual assault in their childhood or as a result of their sick shyness, which stops them from having sexual relationships with adults. Very often the source of that situation lies in the pedophile's low self esteem and body complexes.

Pedophilia is pretty much a mental disease that should and most probably could be cured. But than again who cares about the reasons one starts being a pedophile. It's easier to castrate them I guess.

You still haven't answered my question though.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]

it's prevention like Bzibzioh wrote. one pedophile can destroy several people's lifes. and you can't stop pedophile from being pedophile. after being inprisoned he will walk free and do what's in his nature again and again.

How exactly do you know that? Most pedophiles are great examples of shyness towards the opposite sex and complexes going horribly wrong. The whole idea of chemical castration is just pure populism on Tusk's side. It's definitely not a remedy to the problems of pedophilia.

I wonder if there is such a thing as defecating the Queens good name ????

I only wondered if she washes her hands! I wasn't thinking about defecation, I swear!

Sad but true the further south you go the dirtier it gets - you just wouldn't get that kind of thing in Manchester ;-)

I believe you Shelley. The shocking thing for me was that the supervisors were the same! I can understand the laborers not minding personal hygiene, but people of higher education and status? It made me wonder about the ol Queen you know. :)

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]

How did you know they were British construction workers, which are a rare breed today and were more likely Polish hehe

Because there were my work colleagues? To make it even worse, they were from the southern part of the island. :)

And you can see many of these examples in Poland as well e.g. at the weekend a guy came to do the artificial insemination for the dairy cows on my father-in-laws farm, and was doing the deeds with a sandwich in his mouth, taking a munch from time to time. eekkk

Ahh haaah! You see, that happened at the weekend while those workers were doing it all the time! ;)

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]

Magdalena, I observed something similar among British construction workers, with an exception that they didn't even bother to wet their fingertips under the water! A sink in a man's toilet on a construction site in Britain serves only as a decoration. The shocking thing for me is that it wasn't only the physical workers but the supervisors as well! And then you see them in the canteen putting bacon from their full English breakfast on their toasts with those dirty hands! Yummy! :)

People who wash there hands after taking a p1ss must have dirty genitals.

I don't wanna wash me hands mum, I barely touch me anus! ;)

UK, Ireland / Britain... What the Poles did for us. [444]

The Poles have been in the UK only for four years and not four decades, so I doubt that they managed to make a great impact on the British society. On the other hand, some claim that there are 1,5 million of them currently on the island. Surely, disappearance of that many people wouldn't go unnoticed. :)
