News / Pole-basher Gross up to old tricks [284]

Let me guess,

You don't need to guess, it is your story, you should know it. I'm only curios whether you are talking fiction or S-F.

I wonder who would be stupid enough to believe that no members of the AK in Poland had guns.

You discovered the first time travel crime. As Jedwabne happened in June 1941 and Home Army had created in 14th of February 1942.

Luzko do you understand idea of scientific research and evidence?

"FIction", Ironside??! Same folks are saying the identical things about the Holocaust itself.

Do you understand what fiction mean or do you need an explanation. As to what you choose to call Holocaust sure it happened but some details are rather blurry, and nobody dares to correct it since it stopped to be historical and started to be cultural and political issue.

News / Pole-basher Gross up to old tricks [284]

he man is a professor of history - not exactly the domain of pseudo scholars.

You are a lazy git delph given that you had years to check up his books and standards of his books and you go by is a title?

Very articulate of you, but nonsense. I

I have expected noting lees form you jon. The proof is in the pudding but you don't go by facts you go by what is convenient to you.

f nothing else, his books are very well researched and though data had been challenged before by extreme nationalists, those challenges have failed.

You are talking utter rubbish which only betray your even deeper ignorance of the subject. Shame on you jon!

He is Professor of War and Society and Professor of History at Princeton University.

Why don't you preform proskynesis,and while you are at it you can lick his feet.

He's more Polish than Chopin and is a professor of history at Princeton University.

How about polonius3 Harry? Is he more Polish or less?

No matter how hard you try to spin it, he's technically more American than Polish

It really doesn't matter whatever he is from Poland , Israel or India, what matters is his methodology and research which is nonexistent, hence his book is a work of fiction. The fact he is teaching sometime course on the University means nothing, they can employ anybody they want, also it is a privately founded chair.

And so Jedwabne and Kielce are grounds for questioning Gross' Polishness or patriotism???

There is nothing to question. What is being questioned or rather some fools are constantly yapping about how his works are historical books based on facts and evidence while in fact those books are fiction story based loosely on some past events.

Are you similarly disputing the veracity of Prof. Gross's book?

There is nothing to dispute, Gross book is a work of fiction. End of.

Don't understand what the problem is really.

Well, in that case you definitely have problem if you do something else for living that digging ditches or even digging spouts,

hint - (whispering) its fiction and when people take all that for historical facts, some people do not take kindly to that kind of mental deficiency, I know we should go easy on them special people they just cannot help the way they are.

He can write what he wants, Gross that is. It doesn't make it true, factual or historical. Unfortunately people nowadays are unable to distinguish between fiction and reality, facts and gossip. One would think those who aspire to the title of educated people would know better but seems to me they are first to give in to hysteria.

If it wasn't so pathetic

You mean it isn't pathetic that some people including you after so many years would even read the only scientific study about jedwabne in the English language, it is very simple go amazon, books and then type jedwabe look for a book written by a historian not Gross (who is not historian by the way), you there.

Instead of defending rumors and gossip!

News / Why no reprivatisation in Poland? Holocaust-era property ownership. [119]

Well, we have to wait until Poland regain her independence before any restitution of privet property to their rightful owners can take place. Claims by some Congresses of Jews representing nobody and focusing on alleged Jewish claims or invoicing some tribal laws do not help.

News / Why no reprivatisation in Poland? Holocaust-era property ownership. [119]

My "rambling" is merely setting the record straight about the facts,

Your apology of Soviet totalitarian regime has nothing to do with facts but rather all to do that you are an apologists of communist totalitarian regime which murdered more at least four times that many people than German national Marxists.

What all of it has do to with legal issues about restitution of privet property in Poland, I don't know, nobody sane and reasonable would.

Here facts for you to chew on:
all those polish citizen of Jewish ethnicity who returned to Poland after 1945 had their property returned to them, if they choose to sell it and leave foe the west or Palestine that was their choice.

Polish factory owners, landowners and even quite small shops and property have been striped without compensation form their property by Soviet stooges acting as Polish government, I guess it included few rich Jews in that number.

So far none of those (mainly landowners) haven't got their properties back, why would few Jews being made an exception? If property is going to be returned to the rightful owner then yes, it should include also Jewish owners, if not - nobody should get a dime!

You seems to be entertaining myth that there is bucked-loads of unresolved climes or unreturned property - that is a myth, Polish Jews were considerably poor, at least majority of them and to stress it against, their houses, flats or whatnot have been given back to those who returned and claimed it.

end -off!

what is the other option outside of the EU, to go the same way as the Ukraine being separated by Russia and EU meddling.

If a group of like-minded countries would like to separate from the EU to form their own organization that would be a good way for Poland to go.

News / Poland's economic future? [294]

unable to admit that Poland needed a lot of outside help to reach the current level of development.

No, you cannot get into your skull that it never was so. That is a typical hype by some types who don't know their ass from their elbow.

an ex communist dump without foreign investment,

BS - foreign investments are not decisive in development of a country. As for communists economy it was focused on producing weaponry and less flexible without that much of diversification but wasn't that bad as it has been propagated. Western economy is being ruled and ruined by banks, so great economy is in shambles, the Bretton Woods agreement helped to win with commie economy but after its fail is eating up their own like a deadly virus.

Wow? How do you know that he isn't? How come you are privy to classified information? lol
First incorrect information - Gazeta Polska' is a right-wing daily newspaper, - not is not, it is a weekly newspaper.
Second misleading information - which supports the Catholic nationalist PiS - whether it support or not PiS is debatable but PiS is not the Catholic nationalist party, that just a pure nonsense.

third mislaying information - According to the Polish right - nah according to few juranlist from that newspaper.

UK, Ireland / Why can't unemployed Polish people on benefits just leave UK and go home please? [240]

the other hand those who enter the country without employment should pay there own way and not be entitled to benefits until they start paying taxes through employment.

You are yet another ill informed poster from a long line of visually or otherwise impaired posters; we have a blind eagle among us now, Semper Fi! hooray! . If you want to debate the issue you should first do a basic research. Not listen to hearsay and rubbish and gossip like ignorant washerwomen.

History / Walesa says without meeting Mrs Thatcher in Gdansk Solidarnosc wouldn't have won [51]

You make no sense. Maneuvers and plans are not the same thing. Do you know a first thing about military? I guess not. Every military organization worth its salt has all kind of contingency plans for all and one hypothetical circumstances. What you are looking for is a political decision to implement such a plan. In the 80' after Afghanistan Soviets were not going to invade anyone. Invasion is not correct terminology to describe properly situation, after all in Poland the Red Army kept a strong force till 1992.

History / Walesa says without meeting Mrs Thatcher in Gdansk Solidarnosc wouldn't have won [51]

Walesa (and other Polish politicians) seem fairly certain that she did have.

To be honest what he says is immaterial. He is changing story every time he opens his mouth.

What does that matter? If a man like Brezhnev would have been in power at that time instead of Gorbachev, you would have seen Soviet tanks crushing any freedom movement including Solidarność. Thus the organization wouldn't exist today.

What are you talking about? Solidarity had been crushed by the forces of Soviet Poles.

he Polish legal system h

So called Polish legal system in reality is a Soviet legal system and they indeed would act to protect status quo in Poland.

Poles here might not have much time for him but they do have respect for him

As you would know what Poles are thinking. Get it over.

here is a distinct difference in the way Walesa is celebrated today by his own (Polish) people AND the way Westerners celebrate and most importantly package Walesa to their own society. Cute butt buddy scenario in play here. The West advertises Walesa as a Soviet defeater and in return Walesa proclaims how it was all made possible by (Insert Western leader). It's really cute.

+1

They simply wanted western attention and publicity to prevent the USSR from interfering (i.e., invadin

Soviet Union wasn't going to invade not in 1981 not in 1989, not at all.

Indeed. And both of those two became utterly delusional eventually.

Indeed as British Tories pretend to be a Consecrative Party when in fact that have been never anything else but opportunists lackeys for the rich.

Polonia / Uncomfortable treatment of Poles in Lithuania? [15]

Maybe the EU will finally punish lithuanian govt for allowing racism to spread??

No, they will do nothing. That is a very good illustration that the EU is just sham and screen smoke for weaker countries to be exploited. They would rather pump a few billions into promotion of abortionist, privileges for homosexuals and for attacks on the Church and family. They don't care about Polish minority in Lithuania being discriminated against by the Lithuanian state.

As for action of the Lithuanian government they will pay for it as soon as Poland will be back in hands of Poles.

UK, Ireland / British people more intelligent than the Poles? [53]

The last time anybody tried to test IQ test I listened the first question and then refused to listen to any more on the grounds that the person who wrote the test wasn't clever enough to write IQ tests.

I must actually agree with Harry here. What is IQ test? Who design it? Who wrote it? What is assessed? and so on! What is intelligence should be a basic qestion. In the case of nations there more complex questions - is there a group intelligence? What is it? Can you asses that? and so on.

All those IQ tests and researches need to be treated with a great dose of skepticism.

As far as I know

Paulina don't feed that troll. We can all call one or other poster here a troll but hes is a real McCoy.

Very eloquent reasoning, but one which history and science doesn't support.

Well, jon I'm one of the most intelligent people on this forum and you are not. Please do not post more of your nonsense. History and science doesn't support that theory - what a pompous way to say nothing.You should simply let it go or say something about reliability of test to be consistent but no you have to open your big mouth. Go on I dare you - bring it on, facts and arguments man.

Worth mentioning that a lot of the IQ results thrown around on a nation by nation basis in Europe are based on self-administered tests which leads one to speculate

No, it renders them worthless.

I will not pass judgement here on the reliability or honesty of self-administered tests in Poland.

Considering the fact that you would have to hazard a guess do not pass any judgements for your own sake.lol

Always amusing to see a racist trying to be clever and failing miserably, or are you so utterly ignorant that you consider Egypt and China to be 'white nations'?

Love / Partner wants me to come to Poland? [21]

Judging from the title (and my memory of the OP's previous posts), he is in Poland and she is in the USA.

What? Is that a long distance relationship? For goodness sake......

he thing that would concern me far more than the finances is the effect on her son.

Money in Poland can solve most of those problems, there is not lack of specialists if can afford that. Children are more resilient that they seem.

Love / Partner wants me to come to Poland? [21]

Uh oh..now what?

He is homesick and maybe not thinking straight. Moving from Poland to the USA could be a bit of a shock to the system and generally immigration is not that easy, first two, four years are worst. So that maybe be it. If feasible go for a few weeks to Poland for a visit.

As for moving to Poland tell him to get real, unless you are financially well off and you don't need to work to support yourself or he can provide for you in Poland. You are a woman tell him off on two levels - financial and emotional, then smooth it with visit to Poland.

You asked I provided:)

Your comments on that, pretending the inquisition never tortured anyone, rather destroy everything else you've spouted in this thread.

Eh? This comes from a dude who claims that Communism and Christianity are comparable. The inquisition never tortured anyone check out those primary sources.

More so than you think.

It is not about what I think but rather about what you don't know, as I said your crazy myths belong to you :)
