News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]


Really?
How much reparations German state paid?
Unwillingness to confirm Polish western border raised German hopes up.
Ruined state was allowed to arm itself very quickly, despite they saw radical Hitler.
German army crossed demilitarized zone and nothing happened.
Later no reaction about Austria and selling out Czechoslovakia.

Everything lead to WWII.

Please elaborate your position, because this personal attack dont tell us much why you disagree with me. Be sure that I can defend my statement.

The biggest amount of WWII whiners is in the Germany, they provoke this discussion in Poland and the Czech Republic.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]


Well... Poland should be offered Eastern Prussia and Gdańsk as well. This would stop plans of German expansion to the east in longer run. British PM is to blame here, he considered Poland to be French ally... While the French are responsible for too soft policy towards Germany after Versailles.


General rule of treaty of Versailles was to create national states. Mainly because of Wilson.

Why do you think that Poland should go against any of such blocks? even if something like that would appear


For your information, there are many of such people that could replace them. However this mafia wont let them to work if they don't share their visions. Just 'modern' people like you don't see it.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]


Modern doesn't mean of good quality. Anyway there is no sense to talk about masses, world was always pushed forward by elites. Simply our current elites are of very poor quality and this is the problem with the EU. Very bad construction build by intellectual zeros .

What is wrong about building empires?


How is that? I suggested that your views are caused by your incompetence in these matters. How could I argue with delusions?

While earlier I have wrote that Poland need nukes to keep peace, forever.

They also claimed to be anti-EU to got more votes from EU sceptics. In fact they do everything what eurocrats expect them to do. Today's politicians are very far from idealistic ideologies, demagogy is widespread and everything they care is re-election and cash.

If you are really for serious, then I'm afraid that your poor knowledge if polish politics move our discussion to fantasy world.

His foreign policy was really foolish, he was provoking both Germany and Russia. Of course it have nothing to do with Poland possibly holding nukes. His statement were just part of election demagogy. I don't even know why you write this last comment, unless just to provoke some hot-headed posters.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]


Eurocrats build their empire using tactic of little steps, so this is just question of time.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]


Just prevention, something that should not be spoken publicly by Polish officials. Poland have no interest to stir up any tensions and certainly should be keep out from involvement in military conflicts. Nuclear weapon or possibly other kind of weapon with similar power is the best guarantee of peace.


Don't forget about their willingness to build EU army.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]


Continents have not any nuclear weapons but some states, Poland is not among them. However I agree, this is waste of cash if our politicians would spend too much on conventional army. Our potential enemies (in longer perspective) are as usual Germany and Russia, the latter already have nuclear weapons. Germany would join them quickly if they will need. Polish politicians should for once proof me wrong and finally show that they are not completely useless corrupt sellouts.

Could you please elaborate about this 'radical' party. Whether they are indeed radicals and why Grunwald consider them to be right wing? This is very hard to find reasonable source about Norwegian politics in Poland.

Life / Importance of Religion in Poland [187]

Among Catholics there is many people who know little about Catholicism. Of course higher awareness would be great, however there is line that some cannot cross. How little people know about economy, while we don't demand books on this subject to be burned. I belong to those old-fashioned people whom prefer quality over number but I don't expect from average person to have knowledge equal to professor of economy.

As far as we talk about pure believe, there is little sense to discuss why you chose one over other. There is no scientific evidence to refer. That is why people mostly continue family traditions. However those smarter should raise above them and analyse sociological consequences of choosing certain denomination. I did this and I see the Catholic church to be the best guarantee of reason.

What is the source? This fragment have little sense, why not to reveal whole quote to understand the context?

Anyway, if you really consider him to be German, then he must be also awful traitor of German nation. Right? :) I read that German National Socialists also claimed that Copernicus was 'purely German'. I fail to understand why they wanted such a traitor of 'Germanic race' being recognized 'German'. :)

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


The past of different tribes which became part of Germany, may be considered as a heritage of German nation. However this doesn't make 'the Germans' out of those people, this is just how nationalist propaganda describe them.

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


Because this is nothing more than some rulers having common interest. While you again confuse royalist loyalty with national loyalty.

This (pan-germanism) was something close to pan-Slavism , some propagandists spread such idea and with time it succeed. BB, do you want to say that Germany was united democratically? :)

Even if, doesn't matter. Language is not deciding factor even today.

When the Germans formed their national identify?

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

This concept have nothing to do with Copernicus. Otherwise he would not be loyal to the certain crown.

People, come on, how long you will ignore the difference between our times and period when he lived?

The language formed national identifies among people (especially in Central Europe) much later. Still, this is not any deciding criteria even in our times, look at Austrians or German speaking people in Switzerland. They don't consider themselves 'German'.

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

People look at this issue from a biased perspective of our times. At that times there was no developed concept of nationality, while Copernicus was just loyal servant of Polish king. Nationality is how you consider yourself and not how others think about you.

This is correct statement however solve nothing. I could ask who are the educators and what kind of program they realize.

Smart people can make smart decision, while they are in minority and always will be. Thus general effect of democratic rule might be shamelessly average at best.

Do you really believe that Putin and Medvedev will bring you communism?

Yes, this is close comparison.


Your assumptions are completely false. I do support Laissez-faire capitalism... Anyway if I describe some certain political system this doesn't mean that I'm for or against. My personal preferences? This is topic for another thread if you are really interested. I have nothing to hide.


Obviously this is correct interpretation. Some wonder whether people who prefer public property over private property are really humans. :)


On the way? where?

History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]

So called 'democracy' present especially in many countries of the 'western world' is just an illusion like Dariusz mentioned above. However this is much better than communism and this is out of question for anybody who lived under these two systems. First system is just a huge scam while the second could be compared to unforgettable crime.

The point is that 'white' is just about skin and nothing else. If you want to refer to other issues then you should use other words.


This is cult of victimhood, this is romantic cult of merits for others whom betrayed. I don't see your country to be able to stand from the knees if such quotes are very popular among the Serbs. This is a serious problem among some groups in Poland as well. Real politics does counts not any romantic past. In other thread I write that I started to read book of pre-WWII Polish politician Roman Dmowski. You should read his books too, I read just part of the first chapter and I already know that he was political realist, not a romanticist! To encourage you, I just write that he supported alliance with Russia against Germany.

When I see white person, although I don't think about race, I automatically acknowledge the fact that this person is white. This is not the case with you. For you this is not enough to have white color of the skin to talk about 'white person'.

Your historic lecture is very selective, did you forget that Slavs came to Europe from Asia? Why to discuss such prehistoric issues at all? Don't you have enough of serious problems these days?
