To Częstochowa which is not bloody but a place respected by most Poles, even non-believers.

You're welcome.
Yeah, I know that Miss S, only some people are blessed with required intelligence to get it the right way like you and me :)
thanks for spoiling my fun
You're welcome.
I'd noticed that comment on it, but I also knew how others could take it, especially with people like noimmi posting it for fun.

There's something for ya, written under the video noimmigration:
greenRiverThriller (4 weeks ago)
I don't know how you got a hold of this, but thankfully it's a bad rip. I was in touch with the Dzikansky family shortly after I created this video, and have since taken the original down. A lot of Polish (and non-Polish as well - my remark) people don't understand that this video was poking at the police, but out of respect for Robert Dzikansky and me (the creator of this video) I would like to ask you to take this down. -- Mike Greenway
Can you read English, noimmigration, or universities in the UK just take anybody from the streets ?

UK, Ireland / Posting from UK to Poland....not good! [53]
A parcel sent by my parents from Poland reached me after about a month. Just be patient (it may have been stolen, though).
The problem with PP is that's a state-run company. And they rely on state subsidies instead of seriously developing and compete on free market.

The only other thing regarding Polish post is that it's incredibly primitive.

History / Polish weapons and militaria - got any? [153]
I've got (sadly down in Poland, not with me):
- German bayonet Mk 1871 (a variant not for combat purposes, but parades only)
- another szwabski bayonet (don't remember the type, but I guess it's parade version too)
- Polish eagle (I think it's an officer one, pre-1939)
- Russian helmet (II WW, post war use in a fire brigade)
- some empty shells, probably I, II WW (cal 8 mm, they might have been from hunting weapons, for the house was a forester's domicile, found on my own yard)
- I also found a 7,62 mm (? - it was deformed, probably from a Soviet MG) round inside a piece of firewood :)
My dad had much better 'luck'. He told me, that when he was a boy, he and his pals found a German MG, but discarded of it. They even had real pistols as toys. Also when he was a forestry school student, they had some practise in woods and sometimes the whole group returned with German helmets on their heads !
Edit: I know you were asking about Polish weapons, but I couldn't help :) Besides, some might have been used by Polish army (or during Silesian uprisings).

Goddammit, don't you understand the power of symbols ? For example - why Hitler was so obsessive about taking Stalingrad ? And Stalin about defending it ? The same with Poles - act of general surrender could've depressed Poles and make them less willing to fight the enemy.
It was the capitol and Army 'Warszawa' that surrendered. The fight wasn't over.
Does it really matter? If your face down in the dirt,with a big old boot on the back of your neck surely the act of saying "I give up" is rather meaningless,no?

BTW. Where did both the Polish Army in the West and in the East get from ? Magic lamps ? And Polish Government in Exile ?

Ok, ok, but they became fully active after Allied landing in Normandy... Polish resistance was active during the whole war (and after, fighting communists). However, I don't see any connection of your post to the whole thing discussed there. It looks like you implying that I deny existence of resistance forces in other countries, what am I not.
And Berlin was defended by regular army, supported by Volkssturm, not by underground irregular resistance, 'student of law'. Perhaps you should take some English lessons, for you seem not to understand what are we talking about here.
Yeah...well...so did the french resistance you just some posts back so belittled! There existed underground movements in nearly all occupied countries which surrendered officially to the Germans before (Dutch etc) and Poland is no difference

No. Polish underground resistance started to organise as soon as in September '39.
That's a simplification from a page that explains Polish history only very generally.
After that the fight was over....

Work / Cheap Labour in Poland - why is there a problem with unemployment in PL? [16]
Skilled and experienced workers are offered jobs which are almost or even better paid than their previous jobs in the UK or Ireland.
I guess most Poles would like to go back to Poland and work there, but the work costs are high in Poland (half of your wages go to taxes, social insurance). I can give you an example - my mom who is an accountant - in the UK she would be probably an owner of a house with swimming pool and a brand new BMW (if she worked for a similar company here, as the one she works in Poland for), but in my country she has to work overtime without being properly paid, she hasn't had any pay rise since several years, while her bosses change cars every year. Poor wages and such attitude deter many Poles from returning.

With such a treatment, after the fifth year I'm grabbing my UK passport and I'm off to e.g. one of ANZAC countries. Sorry pal, but why should I pay twice for the same thing ?
They shouldn't be entitled to register for council housing and if they want treatment on the NHS or give birth to a child here, they should pay for it. If they bring their kids with them and want them to go to school, they should pay for private education.
