History / Polish-Hungarian border exchange? [60]


If you're talking about that small part of Spiš that ended up on the Polish side of the border, I would advice you to check up all the facts again! Poland have a better claim to the whole region than anybody else. It is simply not worth all that bother just to claim it!

I strongly advice you to reconsider!

Po polsku / Co sądzicie o prawie do wyborów w Polsce? Głosowanie za granicą. [18]


Nie może, ale napewno!


Nie ma znaczenia sytuacja, to jest prawo każdego obywatela, czy to się komuś podoba, czy nie.

Cale zamiesznie wynika z notki prasowej, gdzie jakies lewackie kreole oburzli sie, że Polonia głosuje na prawicę. I stad ta cala afera, bo sie idiotom wydaje, że zwiekszaja w ten sposób sznase swojej obcji. Bo to leniwe I glupie jest jak wyszyscy kolaboranci.

Tylko niewielki promil Poloni glosuje w wyborach w Polsce. Minimalny wplyw na wynik wyborów. Nie ma o co robić zamiesznia.

Mnie osobiscie nie pasuje,że potomkowie zdracjów czy zwykle przygłupy mają prawo glosu. A ich głos liczy sie tak samo jak mój. To jest głupie, ale rozumiem logikę ustroju. Ty chyba nie bardzo.

USA, Canada / Polish Law and divorce from a US citizen - when does it apply? [11]


You're entitled to half of his money. You would have that is, if not for your divorce. I'm sure his children are well aware that you have been divorced and the fact that you have no registered it in Poland matters not. If you go to court in Poland to claim that half I'll backfire due to your status as a divorcée.

To sum it up - you have no claim. Forget about it and move on!

Life / Immigration Free Poland is Not Being Racist [194]


There was no country but a bunch of warring 'stone age' tribes that didn't even invent a wheel.


Not factual. Slavery wasn't only restricted to blacks. The country was build on the certain principles, hence it success. Slavery had been only incidental.

Bzdura. Jak ktoś się interesuje to orientuje się lepiej, niż ten, co nigdy nie wyjechał. Pozatym z daleka czasami lepiej widac.


Ludzie urodzeni i wychowani w USA, nie powinni miec prawa głosu w Polsce, chyba, że się tam przeprowdza. To jasne! Nie wiem dlaczego ten temat wraca?

Komuś się wydaje, że Polonia stanowi jezyczek u wagi w wyborach polskich - a tak nie jest, obiektywnie rzecz biorąc stanowi ona niewielki promil bez znacznia. Nośny propagandowo i medialnie. Nikt nie zwarac za to uwagi na prawdziwy problem - 50% ludzi w Polsce, co to nigdy nie biorą udzialu w wyborach.


Prostacka filozofia.
Mam lepszy pomysł, wszyscy ludzie, których przynajmniej jeden z przodków nie mial matury przed wojną, powinni zostać pozbawieni prawa glosu.
Pozostali na pewno wybiorą bardziej sensownie niż plebs.

News / Poland's resentful and frustrated poor losers' camp still at it [53]


you seems to be working under a gross misunderstanding, which assumes that PO stands for liberalism and free market and PiS for socialism and regulated market. Neither is true. PiS is better because they at least attempt to formulate Poland's national interests.

Who cares about few cronies of your working in public positions, If they're that good - the private sector will welcome them with open arms.


Potentially, in contrast to your 'heroes' who actually had blood of patriotic Poles on their hands.

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]


You sir, have a very selective reading comprehension if that what you found on this forum. Either you're leftie (not liberal but leftie) or you're dumb as an ashtray. Nobody is advocating racism on this forum but as in very community some people express racist views and sometimes they're racists.


You seem to be unable to differentiate between theoretical debate on a internet forum as to what kind of immigrants to Poland people would rather have and reality on the ground for those who happened to be immigrants themselves..

If you imply that there is some kind of connection between being racists and being on the receiving end of a racist prejudice - you're an idiot.

On the top if it you're confused as to proper terms for those attitudes.
Racist doesn't take kindly to folk with a different skin tone than his own. A xenophobe hate all foreigners regardless of their race.
Between feelings and an action there is a threshold, not all racist or xenophobes are able or willing to risk it. Only mindless scum from the gutters and there is no excuse for them. Althought you seem to be more than happy to provide that excuse for them.

As they say - each for each own.


Well, their ancestors who have been slaves - no. Indirectly their progeny benefited from slavery. That one is obvious.

Should do three things:
- return all the property to their rightful owners
- abolish ZUS tax
- let go all paper-pushers that are working for the government, in all government agencies and so on.

That is a good start of a real good change!!!
Building Lech's statue in the middle of Warsaw is not.

peterweg, you're talking out of your backside, if you suggest that there is not engineering and enterprising tradition in Poland, nor that was lots of stuff produced by factories before 89.

Nobody was buying those factories that produced steel and parts for Soviet tanks. What was left was in a fairly good shape.

That is your opinion, banking sector of the economy in Poland belongs mostly in foreign hands and that is no good state of the affairs. They're right in that.

Is it too much to ask to stop that idiocy of yours? I don't care if you mock me for my English in every second post addressed to me. However asking me if I understand meaning of words I'm using is such a low pettiness that is outright stupid.

Are you implying that status of the Jews nowadays is TRAGIC? Maybe you're talking about history? If you do, I need to remind you that people who in 1939 have been ten years old, are 97 today if they're still alive. Not many of them left anyway. What are you talking about? Are you talking about generation born after the war in their 70', 60' and 50'. Pry tell what tragic status have been bestowed upon them?

Not to mention all those whose people whose grandparents or parents never left America.
Maybe you are talking about those Jews created Israel. Is existence of Israel such a tragedy?
Grow up!

What police officers? Name names. Are you suggesting that ALL white police officer are racist? That racist!


Hey, that history. Its gone. Do you suggest that they should have the right to rape, kill and loot because their ancestors where mistreated?
Nobody own us a living. That sense of entitlement is sick. Good there are black people who do not buy into that kind of nonsense.


No, the problem is that criminal and racist behavior is encouraged by some circles that build their political capital on it. Not to mention votes.


They are avenging nothing., ~They are thugs and a vile career criminals who are justifying their deeds by BS arguments handed over to them by processional race baiters. Who would have to look for a real job if those criminals would have been dealt with swiftly.


Of that BS is in the 60' when all civic movements have been taken over by the Democratic party who paid to get black votes. They used affirmative action and other many handouts to ensure that black voters stay with them.

Life / Can a secular muslim live in Poland? [24]


I know you're a troll but never the less. Why would anyone care? If someone wants to immigrate to Poland should be well aware that Muslim people are not generally welcome. There is consensus to that in Poland.

I don't see much sense in Muslim immigration because as much as Poles are tolerant and not prone to violence - they would never tolerate attitude and a vibe that many Muslim emanating, especially if they are in numbers.

People of color might sometimes get to call names (rarely) but there is also consensus that is a bad thing to pick on someone because of their skin color.

Muslims from the middle east think themselves superior - and Poles would not stand for it.
On the other hand could learn to eat some pork.

Lyzko - "adjective: natural
- existing in or derived from nature; not made or caused by humankind."
Racism is hardwired into the brain and it operates unconsciously.
Not a your ignorant and unlearned self that suggested that racism is an ideology i.e. that is created by human thought. I would think that your ape like attitude to debate is responsible for the fact that for the most part you understand absolutely nothing. Meaning you like throwing sh..t, arguments not so much.

"The specific characteristics used as a basis for categorization depend on the culture and the environment, but the tendency to sort people into groups and this essentialist belief about them is something natural. Innate even."

Yes, like all Catholic are now a chosen nation. If you talking about Jewishness on a DNA level there is hardly connection between Jews from the Roman times and from the present. . .

If you talk about religion, the legitimate title of the chosen by the God belongs to Catholic. Also Judaism from the time of the Christ has little to do with Jewish religion today.
