Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

yay,your still here Gab,:)
No,when I wrote of "others" I meant all the various nationalities that at one time or another went to Poland,being a Scot I know we certainly sent a few over ,but,heres the thing,"we" looked pretty much the same and "we" were catholics,that isnt in my eye "multiculturalism "in its modern sense. Diversity of population maybe.

Either way its silly to brand all people of one nation as the same,I know rascist nut jobs living in my town,doesnt make me or most of the rest of the population rascist.

bollox Poland ever had multi culturalism....It had Poles and it had Jews,and the 2 groups only mixed when they had too.Of course others went to Poland but this was in the days before nationalisim/race conciousness in its modern sense.

History / Polish weapons and militaria - got any? [153]

Wroclaw,just look on any flea market in Poland and you can find german stuff.....just dont expect not to be despised by the seller when they find your a Brit.

Ozi,that hammer,is it not some form of Scout hammer,being as czuwaj is one of the Polish scouts motto's?
As to Polish militaria,my avatar pic may give a slight clue that i have a bit in my collection :)

Nice post Tran
BTW lukasz,not all BOSNIACS (not Bosnaks) looked like those despicable mujahadeen,if you read any accounts the actual Bosnians were extremely pissed off to be invaded by extremist Muslims but,as they say my enemies enemy is my friend.

And just a thought here everyone, hands up who of you knows the difference between Sun'ni,Sh'ia and Sufi Muslims?

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

Ive been in Warsaw quite a few times actually old bean,Its rather hard to cross your legs for a fortnight at a time..........Maybe what you ment to ask was are you sure you have been to Warsaw? Well,d'urh,yes,and I even had to use my teeny smattering of Arabic once. Maybe its different with the young uns,but people my age group,30 ish if they did speak a different language it was German or Russian.

wow,your entertainment value is superb sucubus :) Another know all ,rich little daddies girl,,"ooh,I went to private school" ,blah,I went to state school and learnt 2 languages,French and German,I spoke Spannish fluently as a small child when we lived there....,I took night classes in Russian (which,consequently helped me learn the basics of your language,not to mention I can understand Croatian and Ukranian to a small extent),mind you,moot point as I'm a Scot but,Ive lived most of my life in England and the picture you paint is completly laughable. Funny though,whwn I was In Warsaw I struggled to find anyone who was Bi lingual other than the family I stayed with,most conversations were along the lines of the hunchback monk in The Name of The Rose,ie a weird mix of Polish,french and German.....

so you believe the brave stories your grandaddy tells you, enough said.

Grow up girlie,not enough said at all,but any more would be far to much for your mentality to comprehend.......
Tell you what love,you hate the place so much,fuk off,what are you ,a masochist?

well then, go on, laugh at your own country. us, poles might have a bad reputation in the world but at least we are not perceived as fat ugly lazy stupid stuck up football maniacs who fart pride out of their a$$es further than they can see.

No,your seen as moaning bairns that blame everyone else for all your problems/losing ww2 yet claim you "won" ww2 for everyone else...sad pathetic waste of breath. I used to get involved in debates re our shared history on here,I and others who actually know about these things dont bother anymore as to many chauvanistic "patriots" like yourself chip in with garbage and second hand communist propaganda..... Heres a thought though sucubus,if Polands so great...how well do you think you and your partner would get on if you decided to move back? How many days or weeks before the lynch mob came a knocking?

Sometimes when you listen to Poles you can't help thinking they won the war for the allies...:)

Yes they did! My uncles just sat on theirars es beside their hurricanes all through the battle of Britain while letting the 30 odd Polish Pilots win the war...of course my Uncles 9 "kills" were just made up in an act of Polonophobia and his finishing on 20+ destroyed german aircraft and countless tanks etc when he transfered to fighter bomber spitfires were likewise made up just to spite the Poles..who,were of course the only people to storm Normandy..dont believe speilberg folks,it wasnt the US 29th and 1st inf divs that stormed Omaha it was the 76 warsaw highland rifle twirlers assisted of course by the duke of krakovias own mounted belly dancers....

just so you know that we saved your british a$$es.

yeah yeah,keep laping up the bull shoit ..you believe whatever you need to to get you through the day.......just dont claim it as fact....

Not to mention that it was the Polish experience of flying against the Luftwaffe that radically reshaped the tactics used by RAF Fighter Command in the Battle of Britain.

wow,so far off the truth you wouldnt believe,,again,more BS. What a load of old tosh...the 2 (thats 24 planes) Polish squadrens were notorious for not following instructions on where they were needed in the highly technical aspect of air defence,notorious for swanning off after straggling nazi bombers just to score a "kill" rather than concentrating on breaking up in bound formations....

You are just one more working class british person and, of course, with working class opinion...

And you are just an arrogent snob...fek you and your attitude to the working class. Go shove your worthless uni education where the sun dont shine (and Im nicely middle class thank you very muchly).

History / "SOLIDARNOŚĆ" is just a word for Polish people? [47]

ł

Does that song go on about 'we of the first brigade..duh duh regiment of fire power...duh, duh, we've thrown ourselves into the fire?'

Thats the one,I have a translation somewhere.......I'm a huge fan of the old Polish music both the Army type ones and traditional/"pop" tunes(like 30'sand40s,not that Cher lookalike :)

Anyhow,heres what I have roughly translated from"pieśń ujdzie cało"(W Korniewski,L £ochowski,1992)
please correct any mistakes I may have made in translation.
MarszPierwszey Brygady,Words,Andrzej Hałaciński(1891-1941),Tadeusz Biernacki(1899-1974)Words written in 1917
Music,unknown,composed?origionaly a Imperial Russian tune called March to the Red Sea.
I may be wildly wrong here but it seems to have been one step below a national anthem but still an official song(?) between 1917 and 1924 ,and then in '24 passed on as the official song of the 1st brigade and then to all Officers of the Polish army in the second republic.

T Biernacki died inSzwajcarii(?) and
A Hałacinski died ,Katyn.

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]

This is a prime example of the differences bewteen Polish and English mentality.

The Poles see it as the British sitting on their arses being lazy.

The British see it as getting some other mug to do the sh!tty work.

Oh,thats a classic,LMAO :)
We didnt build the worlds largeset empire by actualy rolling our own sleeves up ! We got the natives(or the irish) to do all the digging and what not. ;)

Thanks,you wouldnt believe how proud I was to have a veteren of the Mokatow district and some former Radoslaw veterens tell me how glad they were that someone in Britain who wasnt even Polish was trying to keep their memory alive and maybe educate a few people along the way.

all the best mate.
