Life / Polish culture versus rotten West [279]

I am Polish but I would like to be Russian instead.

I see you are out of your padded cell and you are prowling the internet in a search of a partner, a male partner. Wrong forum mate!

As to you wanting to be Russian, there is nothing stopping you, good luck and farewell. I'm sure they'll be glad to have you. Poles not so much.

Russians, however, never tried to exterminate Polish people,

Fail! Are you sure you're not Russian already? Your views reflect their propaganda that passes for history in Russian quite closely.

was Hitler's idea

Not initially. Fail!#

you only read western newspapers where Russia is the enemy forever

You're a clueless little boy aren't you? Time to fess up or shut up! France had always a soft spot for Russia. In the Latin America there are plenty of sympathy and interest in Russian exotic being. Germany look at Russian as big economical partner. Even USA would see Russia as their junior partner in this part of the world and the future ally in conflict with China.

You are presenting a very narrow and stupid point of view, characteristic to the former KGB operatives and all those soviets spies with their egos too big for their boots with comrade Putin in tow. Paranoid delusions of totalitarian pundits.

Russians were in the minority among the perpetrators, the majority of culprits were Jews

Fail! That was a work of totalitarian Soviet regime and ethnicity of the perpetrators played secondary role in that blood scenario.
Yet, Russia today is a direct continuation of that genocidal totalitarian empire and revels in its 'achievements'.

Ireland was neutral

Yes, that is what I said.

but 5,000 Irish soldiers

Makes no difference.

What interested me about Polish politics

Polish politicks should be quite easy to grasps for you. Imagine Ireland that regained independence but with loyalist in charge with all the big landowners and such in the places of power. Who would claim to be a proper Irish patriots and those who oppose them purported to be some radicals or haters.

As for the media they are talking trivia to avoid talking problems and real issues. Kinda like keeping the lid on the boiling kettle with scandals as means to divert some steam from it.

Played on grass, wow that's new.

Not a day goes by that I don't see a picture of Hitler or some WWII related tale featured somewhere in the Polish media.

When the WWII (in which Ireland had no part)ended and when was the great famine in Ireland? Comparing apples and oranges as usual Atch?

Polish society is encouraged to be obsessive about the wrongs

Nah, that not true. Some subjects were forbidden or falsified during soviet rule and need to be set straight.

the desire to settle old scores ,is more important than dealing with the present and future of Poland.

You lost me what are you talking about?

Still, given that Poles and the Irish get along very well, it beats me why some child is trying to stir up tension between the two

What tension? Are you a drama queen Delph? He belongs to some few of wooly coddled minority of some miscreants who are talking rubbish. I bet he is against RCC and would refer to that venerable intuition as western conquerors. Sing praises of the pagan glorious past, about Slavic roots and about evil west and not so bad Russia.

I wonder whether people like that have been born stupid or have been brainwashed by a paid Russian moles.
Nevertheless those people are visible online (kids) less so in the real life.

Hurling is the fastest sport played on grass

Nope, the fasted sport is sliding down the slope on a hard plastic base.

News / Cameron's EU reform good for Poland [95]

Yes, because Polands tiny economy and poverty struck population were a goldmine just waiting to be robbed.

That opinion wasn't sarcastic it was just plain stupid. Please keep your prejudices and the mind boggling half-baked ideas to yourself.
Sorry but to think about economy in terms cooked up by a bankster bookkeep mindset is stupid.

All this money pumped into Poland will one day be repaid.

One day? It started from the day one.

The UK will not leave the EU, not even if the stay vote were 100%.

You know, you could be right, What a shame?

History / Chance of Lwów once again became coming part of Poland [344]

Western Ukraine was always the heart of Ukrainian nationalism

If you are talking about Easter Malopolska than you need to define what do you mean by 'always' in the year 1848 there were not such a thing you so boldly put forward. Do you mean 'always' as in 'as long as you remember'? That would totally explain it!

A quick look shows that self-declared Ukrainian speakers were just short of a majority in that province.

Considering that most Poles living in the area at the time were also 'Ukrainian speakers' you failed to make your point.

Ukrainians would rather starve

There are three tiers or kinds of Ukrainians - eastern, center and western - you might be right about the western ones but they are anyhow embracing fascism in a more vile form than Nazism.

News / Polish magazine causes outrage with cover showing white woman being sexually attacked by 'migrants' [57]

Inflammatory images ae inflammatory images

Images of something that actually happened are not inflammatory but factual. I tell you what is inflammatory and induces prejudices and racism in the people who do not know better - mixing together people coming from different cultures, with a completely different set of values and different social orders for some artificial reasons(ideological) or because of some ulterior motives.

Wseci is addressed to people with some interest in the public life, general knowledge and politics, those people are mostly educated people without criminal tendencies at last for the most part. I don't see how that picture could induce anybody to do something outside the law. Besides news of what had happened in the German cities are inflammatory enough.

That outrage illustrates very well that good intention are leading people astray turning then into bigoted paranoid mob that sniff racism and discrimination everywhere. Get a grip people.

Think, would be a picture of a group of white men molestation a woman of color induced the same amount of outrage or any reaction whatsoever? Rather not, there is something deeply wrong with youout raged people whoever your are.

And not one word of your objections stands up to the cold hard facts of the article.

That what you say and what it is.

That actually paints a fairly accurate picture of the situation.

News / The Guardian destroys the Kaczynski twins [42]

All you've actually done is say you disagree

Hmm ....you must have been reading it through your rose-tinted glasses, again.
I have point out here he lie, where he twists and when he misinform by manipulating. One needs to remember that his article is aimed at readers who know very little about Poland. Conjuring images of religious people in fumes of opiate clouds manipulated by a megalomaniac populist fueled by the vengeance and resentment is only an repetition of the line exploited by the GW for so long.,

Is he on Michnik payroll as well? Seems so as he never bothered to have point out that GW and her friends ardent defense of commie criminals and traitors turned into an art by accusing everyone who disagree with them of being populists, religious fanatics, vengeful twists or fascist and anti-Semites. The length that rag goes to in slandering people has no bounds.

History / Why is the Diary of Saint Sister Faustina Kowalska still unknown to Polonia and other countries? [29]

You're perpetuating a most unfortunate Polish stereotype.

Hmm what that would be?

if they said something about the Diary or F. Kowalska, certainly more people would read the her Diary...you cant talk about Mercy without mentioning Justice can you?

Neither is their duty to stress that she is Polish! If somebody is interested he can learn it no problem.

History / "Poland's Concentration Camp" ?? [570]

Anyway, you'll doubtless read it (or selected extracts, anyway) when the fringe right-wing media in Poland go into meltdown over it.

Jon please you evidently have no idea. Why would somebody go hysterical about such a secondary issue?

Life / If UK votes to leave the EU - what repercussions for British people living in Poland? [32]

All that boohoo is not about money is not even about facts, all that is about so called EU- migrants and that issue give a momentous to voters supporting Brexit.

In the same way foreign illegal Muslim immigrants God knows where from has given much needed numbers swelling ranks of those who think that the EU in the present form is a bad business for Poland.

History / "Poland's Concentration Camp" ?? [570]

Abusing the EAW is nothing new for Polish prosecutors,

It is not so much abusing as a sign of badly functioning system. Ziboro has nothing to do with it. Hopefully he'll fix it! Is he even aware that is a problem?

One question: how is it that Ireland, long known for its Catholicity,

For a long time clergy in Ireland had to double as a elite in lieu of the national elite. When secular educated elite came into existence in the second part of the 19th they came as very left wing and opposed to domination of the Church as well as the British Empire.

In the Republic of Ireland schools step by step have been take over by secular and at the same time left elements of the Irish elite. They domination in the state apparatus and in schools ensured a slow decline of the RCC in Ireland.

Nevertheless some kind of cooperation and cohabitation ensued.
I guess that scandal with Bishop/s hiding those guilty of transgressions came about because some bishops were confused by their double role that of a bishop and that of a politician.

You forget that some PIS members (and their supporters) would love nothing more than that.

Are you typing from Neverland? Poland according to Harry Pan lol!

evil blood-suckers and start trying to make partnerships instead of enemies.

Give them set of rules to follow is the way to go. Only in some African countries those regulations do not apply.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

Then why do keep repeating this old myth that France (and the UK, and also Germany) owe Poland something?

That is not a myth, they owe Poland a lot but there is no way they would fess up to that nor can they be forced to do that. I'm only using that argument only to shut up some boors with their boots to big for them handle who are yapping about western taxpayers funding Poland as allegedly there were no buildings, bridges or roads before the mighty EU kindly bestowed their taxpayers money on Poland.

Each and every country on the planet is being exploited, Iron. That's capitalism for you.

Some more than others and I don't have to take kindly to it.

Poland wasn't the only country which ended up behind the Iron Curtain and had to suffer the consequences.

Those born shorty after the war on this side of the Iron curtain suffered nothing at all or very little in comparison. Quite the opposite.

Yet Poland was the only country that on the other side of the Iron Curtain that was in the Allies camp from the beginning to the bitter end. In that sense it is an unique experience. More oft than not overlooked.

The Germans will most likely blame themselves for the death camps even longer

Do they? I think they already got it over with for the most part.

Are you sure Poland is different?

For Poland WWII ended in 1989, so yes give Poles 20 or 30 years more and then we can talk about it. I'm sure it will be different for Poland, Poles have a lot of experience dealing with that all kinds of crap. :)

Because you wrote "Germany and France own Poland..."

You knew what I meant - never mind :)
