Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Yeah...that's why polish jokes are still told in the US for 60 years after

Actually it's mostly Jews ,who control the media, that hate Poles, and allow or even encourage anti Polish movies or programs to air. They believe that we are just as guilty as the Germans for what happened to them in WW2. I've had one Russian Jew tell me, "it was the Germans who put us in concentration camps, and you who threw us in the gas chambers" can you believe that? They're alot less frequent nowadays than lets say in the 80's. I've even read a few recent articles by Jews defending Poles, saying that many did in fact help them, telling the truth.

Love / 'Battered husbands' - still a taboo subject in Poland [387]

obviously you don't have children, or you don't think about the consequences for men IF they decide to hit back. The result will be that the man will not be allowed to see his children anymore. For me that is the ultimate injustice .

Yes that's all great news for the woman, she does what she wants gets away with it and will most definitely continue to do it. The man will suffer physical and mental abuse from it, the bruise will heal, but that punch or scratch put him down mentally, that could scar him for much longer if it continues to happen.

News / Poland and Kresy being reunited? [162]

Sokrates:
Kraków is a ukrainian city given to the Poles by Germans.

Krakow was never a Ukrainian city, it was ALWAYS a Polish city when of course it was a free country, ethnic Ukrainian lands extended a bit past Przemysl in southern Poland and almost to Lublin in central Poland no further, so how did you come up with that one?

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]

I got ripped off again at Polish construction supply center.

Well there's trash in every country, i'm ashamed to hear some Polish people do this. My Polish friend who live at the New Jersey shore said, alot of the Poles that come for summer jobs on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, Wildwood, Ocean City, Seaside Heights and elsewhere steal, walk around at night after work throw spark plugs or something else to break a window and steal GPSes, car radios, or go into a convenient store and take food, like while making hot dogs putting 3 in a bun and paying for one. They don't care because when summer's over they're going back home, us the Poles who have to live here get weird looks and the locals hating us because of euro trash like that. I actually would prefer if none of them came over for summer work anymore.

History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]

Kaliningrad is a third world AIDS infested hellhole.

when did this happen?? i believe the Kaliningrad enclave is a special economic zone, meant to bring investment and Russians there, one of only 2 or 3 places in Russia allowed to build casinos. All this must bring in the Mafia, prostitutes, drugs and AIDS.

History / Warsaw Uprising - The Forgotten Soldiers [117]

So your great grandfather shouldn't had fought?

He didn't stay in the village he lived in, any man suspected of being in the resistance would have been shot or sent to a concentration camp, it wasn't just him from his village that went and joined the resistance it was many men, so the Germans were very suspicious. They lived in a forest and at the time weren't nearby to know what happened, that act by the Germans was actually a retaliation for what partisans did to the Germans in that whole area, assassinating German soldiers, derailing trains.

History / Warsaw Uprising - The Forgotten Soldiers [117]

My grandpa and his family almost starved to death. You know that Slavs were sub-humans too? Would you like me to describe to you what my grandpa saw? What a German officer did to a little Gipsy girl?

hahahaha you helped me in making my point, PLANS is what i was talking about his original pre-war plans, not what later actually happened during the war. You don't need to tell me stories about what happened during the war, my one great grandfather Mikolaj Turczyn was a resistance leader he had 50 men under his command, 5 villages including his in Lublin Voivodeship, Borow, Chwalowice and 3 more where burned down 1,400 everyone men, women, children where murdered, only one family survived they live in Gdansk now.

History / Warsaw Uprising - The Forgotten Soldiers [117]

You have no idea what you're talking about and yet you continue to talk, you show no proof no evidence to show otherwise, please wow me. i've read more books, articles, saw more documentaries on WW2 than you have hairs on your head, girlie. What seams irrational or hard to believe doesn't mean it is. Hitler didn't think about what would be good for Germans 5 years from know, he though hundreds of years ahead.

History / Warsaw Uprising - The Forgotten Soldiers [117]

Do you seriously think it was all about a lousy railway line in 1939?

No it was over a city ( Danzig) railway line and highway, in the first phase, until the start of the war, in the second phase Germany wanted the whole Polish Corridor and northern Poland down to about where Bydgoszcz is, in return for that half of Ukraine and western Belarus were to be given to Poland. That was enough for Germany's Lebensraum, the eastern half of Ukraine and Russia up to the Ural was to be exploited for its natural resources, Ukraine and Russia were to feed the Thousand Year Reich, nothing more.

History / Warsaw Uprising - The Forgotten Soldiers [117]

Sure they did...Hitler had been open for negotiating about Danzig and the corridor

You're right about that one, Hermann Göring visited Poland many times with his wife, our foreign minister Jozef Beck and him were friends, went hunting together and all. Hitler's propositions about him just wanting Danzig and a railroad and highway connecting East Prussia with the rest of Germany, weren't empty promises. He said he admired the Poles for not being afraid like the Czech's over his threats and sticking with it, he was proposing to our Marshal Pilsudski a joint attack on the the Soviet Union, he respected Pilsudski for his tactical skills in warfare, and how he led Poland to defeat Russia in the 1920 Polish-Soviet War.

Genealogy / Where are the Lemkos now? Do they still exist in Poland? [32]

What i don't understand is why are so many young Lemkos or Ukrainians who were born in Poland or live there anti-Polish? i know all about Akcja Wisła i know Poland conquered Ukraine and colonized tried forcing Roman Catholicism and Polish language on the people, but what UPA and OUN did went way beyond that, killing tens of thousands of men women and children. Poland oppressed them but wasn't murdering thousands of people for nothing except for a few volunteers in the Wehrmacht. Both nations did bad things to each other it's all in the past. Why can't young Lemkos and Ukrainians get over it understand their people did bad things also, i'm sure they're not being discriminated against in present day Poland.

News / Pole loses language discrimination case in Germany; Scandalous! [97]

But for sure Poles would had been the better solution to people from so far away culturally and mentally like Turks.

I agree with that, Turks are wannabe Europeans, Nicolas Sarkozy isn't far off saying "there's no place for them in Europe, Turkey is not in Europe but Asia Minor, if it was we'd know about it" just cause they got a tiny bit of land doesn't make them Europeans, most their country is in Asia, they're not white and therefore not original Europeans, they came from central Asia originally.

News / Pole loses language discrimination case in Germany; Scandalous! [97]

Can you spot the differences?

Yes i can. I know there are 3 million Turks in Germany who came as Gastarbeiters in the 1950's, i've heard that originally Germany wanted the workers to be Polish except Russians pressured us not to go and work in Germany because just a few years before WW2 happened and many tragic things, so it was decided otherwise, is this true??

Bratwurst Boy why is it that Poles are not recognized as an ethnic minority in Germany, we've been there for centuries, as you say we integrate well, we're Christian Europeans there's 1 to 2 million of us there, what's the problem? Germans whom there are 150,000 in Poland(not counting people of mixed background who feel Polish) have 2 representatives in parliament, all the minority rights, there are 273 Communes with bilingual Polish/German names.

Travel / Poland-My 9-day experience [239]

Poland is not a beautiful country when it comes to flora/fauna, physical landcapes and architecture.

Where you even in Poland, or just read about it? eastern Poland has nice forests, Mazury has beautiful lakes, Carpathian Mountains are nice. And by the way it's Gdansk not Danzig, if you were there you'd know that, Gdansk's old town has got to be among the nicest in Europe, Krakow, Wroclaw, i doubt any old town in Australia even compares all you have is beaches. And you seem like a cheapskate, complaining about the price of a ticket.

News / Poland - the least liked German neighbour. [210]

Their nuke obsession is caused by devious insiders who know that war brings profits.

Very well said, profits for fat politicians in Washington, migraines for Poland. What did we get out of our involvement in the Iraq War, nothing, they promised us deals, contracts worth large amounts of money, all we got was dead soldiers and Muslims to hate us. What are we getting out of Afghanistan, same thing. If we keep this us Muslims might start attacking Poland. Iraq didn't even give us our 2 billion dollars they owed us since the 80's for tanks and APCs we sold them.

I have problems with many non-european immigrants

Bratwurst Boy i have no problem with you, you seem like a nice person, you obviously have nothing against Polish people, you would be he so often, i have met nice German American i just have yet to meet (in person) a real German that will not try to judge be based on my nationality, i'm sure many aren't like that, i just havn't met them yet, probably because as you say i havn't met many Germans only a few. Germany does have a problem with immigration, Poland might have that too some day...Vietnamese in Poland

And that "Germans" say all these things...well...show us where I said all these things! I'm a German, it should be easy for you to show where I say that Poles are uncivilized swines.

I've never said you said it i said other Germans, i've personally met a few people who lived in Germany and were treated bad, one guy worked in Nuremberg he was at a bar a German called them a polish swine, he got punched for that but i happened. Another guy told me him and his other Polish co workers were told by their two German co workers that they don't want them working with them. You don't have to believe me it's true. Don't act like you've never heard about Germans disliking Poles, Russians, Turks or other foreiners.

It seems everybody likes us...but you! Wonder why...;)

Listen i know what i say from my own and other people's particularly Polish peoples experiences with Germans, so don't try to make me look like i'm imaging things or this is all in my head, OK? And this wasn't during world war two but in recent years, my American friend RECENTLY went to Berlin with his Polish girlfriend, he tried to introduce her to some German he was chating with he wouldn't even shake her hand just cause she was Polish, if i'm wrong why do Germans call us shwein polaken, Slavs, dirty uncivilized, theives, where did it all come from if they love us. That statistic says more than half that don't like us havn't even met a single Polish person, you're very civilized not even giving someone a chance, please don't make me laugh.
