Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

German men are the most desired of all foreigners by Polish women.

You have a way with words. You are using it to make your claims sound ludicrous and clownish.

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

Think about it, there are tons and tons of Polish professional models, not so many men. It's not a dig, it's just the way it is, take my homeland

OK, I agree that is the way you see it. You are entitled to your opinion of curse but I think that is not factual. To be honest I as a male I never noticed that superior handsomeness of Irish men.

Anyway personally I have been perused by the women from all corners of the globe from all races and nationalities. So I must be an exception to your rule;somehow I do not think so; so there must be something wrong worth your assessment.

As for models; have you ever seen a model without mascara and close up. I have and believe me there is nothing to be proud of in most cases.

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

After reading OP's post a second time I realized that it is nothing more but an elaborated joke. Ha ha the joke is on me.

You may not realise, but queer also means homosexual.

I recall distinctly that gentlemen from the British Isles are vaguely famous as being at home with homosexuality.

Yes, some of us are a sorry bunch, and few of us are Clooney or Robbie lookalikes with women swooning at our feet.

judging by what being said on PF those swooning women must scare those lookalikes into panic.

And yeah that can mean our knowledge is more narrow than someone who gets sheep's eyes from women at regular intervals in any branch of Biedronka in Psie Pole.

I have been talking about attitude and mentality not looks.

But, some of my observations are definitely correct, as are most or all of Smurf's.

Some are correct and some are not; I have an issue with wrong conclusions rather than observations. Saying that I have no problem with your observations though.

clingy and bossy.
Most women are bossy. Polish women are expected to take a big share of responsibility for their marriage, children, household and husband. As they are being judged by those standards if there is something wrong or houses are not clean enough, it is because the lady of the house is not up to standard, some lazy or incapable twit. At lest that as it is seen in a society.

Husband need only to work hard, bring all the money home, drinking in moderation, no cheating on his wife and generally being good to his wife and hes off the hook.

[quote=]better looking [/quote]
This looks department depends on individual perception. I generally do not take male opinion about male looks with the exception of gays.
Few years ago a distant relative of mine went to Britain, she hasn't been well traveled, neighboring countries like Germany and such but nothing further afield. I happened to have a conversation with her on Skype. She said "My God, people here are so very ugly". A Question of perception - that all. Some types of looks are more general in their appeal and some not. Everyone have the right to his/her opinion but to be amend that Polish men are not good looking generally expressed by foreign males takes the biscuit. Ding dong!

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

A friend of mine recently broke up from a year-long relationship with a Polish girl. He says he is glad to be out of it because of what he describes as her 'sexual hang-ups'

Yeah blame on the woman typical. They haven't had been fitting company for each other that one is obvious. No need to go about talking rubbish just because hes libido has not been up for the job. Going by what they say on this forum British dudes seems to be sorry and queer lot.

Polish men knowing that their women are better looking and smarter

Are you implying that Polish women are better looking and smarter than Polish men and they acknowledge it? Double fail.

History / Are there still communists in Poland? [58]

why was I allowed to vote in the referendum (which I did not, I voted by not voting)...and taking part in local elections here in Warsaw

Maybe because it was referendum for Warsaw residents.

Certainly, but now most of them have become ultra-nationalists,

Nah they become authorities who peach gender revolution, European one state, liberalism at the same time using their contacts and their positions as well as their own positions in Poland taken by them thanks for their Soviet scummy parents to make an easy ride in the back of stupefied general population in Poland. The qestion is why you foreigner in Poland seems to support them, is that because you don't Polish is not that good and you do not grasp complexities of situation in Poland.

such as certain scum at Radio Maryja. Isn't it funny how traitors now wear the clothes of patriots.

Do you have problem with the men of the cloth. Prejudice and fear are not good things in life. Saying that Understand your phobias and I may say that you are not the first who accused the RCC for all the crimes of the world. Unfortunately for you facts tell the tale contrary to such prejudiced opinion.

That is mostly down to so many of their kids being in the mainstream media.

Not only, they have money they stole and they keep their privileged position Poland intact. As well it is know money equal power. Never the less the number of so called known commentators of the public life in TV whose parents or families have been deeply involved in taking over Poland as a traitors in Red Army echelons.

Those people pretend to be authority and not being side in the stifled public debate in Poland.

Study / Looking for 'reviews' of schools for expat kids in Poland [28]

hang on, you want me to send my 5 and 8 year old off to be educated alone without their mummy and daddy?

If you are ex-pat that would be a logical choice. Alternately you can go with them. We are not talking colonial India here.

Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

Of course, football fans aren't particularly popular, which means the police can act any way they choose, and most people won't care less.

Listen, I have already said that I have not inside knowledge of this case, it is possible that the police had some reasons (say few fans started trouble and they decided to bin in all lot) to arrest that particular group of soccer fans, it is also equally conceivable that they had no ample reasons. You cannot determine it on the forum.

What riled me is your assumption that Polish fans are not subjected to such reprisals and such treatment on the hands of the police in Poland. Which clearly isn't the case.

In that case, we'd better lock you up before you cause any damage.

I'm not a soccer fan. Nor congregate on a street with 200 colleges. Whose main hobby after soccer is cooking, many potential chefs to be with a full array of kitchenware. I think that Italian Food. Association shoudl protest against mistreatment of their fans and members by the Polish police. I think that could be about jealousy as Polish food cannot compete with pizzas and pastas they used their influence to intimidate Italian food lovers by those brutal persecutions.

Something else that maybe should taken into account regarding the Polish Police is that one of the senior officers said that a lot of them (police officers) came from "Pathological Families".

Actually is was minister in charge of the police a politician who talks a lot of bull.
The fact is that the police in Poland is badly lead and poorly trained, hence many problems, in this case a I think it was about high ranking officials who made that decision that riled szczecz so much. I bet he would rather have Italian food over Polish food.

Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

Not being mentally retarded was certainly one of the criteria,

Nicely done

he majority of the neo-Nazi scum who 'marched' in Warsaw on Nov 11 would fail to satisfy.

There is no need to insult decent patriotic people and their families.

I have also seen the first hand accounts of those arrested, and they strike me as being plausible.

so basically the police told you that is not your business and arrest Lazio fans have cooked up story you believed in.

t stretches credulity that a major incident could have taken place without anyone other than the police witnessing it.

Could be a preventive action so you don't need a major incident.

What is the difference between them burning the rainbow

Who told you that they burned that rainbow rubbish? Not at all, any evidence to the contrary?

.and the Hitlerjugend burning books?

I don't know, you tell me. You are making those connections. Are all Belgian schooled in Soviet rhetoric since the young ago or only you.]

..you as an expert on Polish patriotism (of course not living in Poland, not paying taxes here),

Why is with you connecting patriotism with taxes? I avid taxes as I can because nobody ask me for my consent on what those taxes are gonna be spend or how big taxes are gonna be. i don't wont some bureaucrat making away with my money. I don't agree with Polish government and its policy and I would be glad not to get conned by their money extortion scam.

hat is your opinion of the Brigada Świętokrzyśka?

Patriotic brigade which have done a great job in protecting local populations against Soviet bands and Germans. Unfortunately they have been forced to withdrawn in the face of overwhelming Red Army and NKVD divisions activities. That saved a few thousand of people from being exterminated by the Soviet occupier.

And you have such ability?

yes

Generally, I only discuss issues I have personally researched.

Sometimes it come across as a prejudice.

There isn't much to research in the case of the Lazio fans, as the only 'evidence' comes from the police themselves. There is no third party evidence, and no reported damage and/or injuries.

I see you like them. I know nothing about the case or reasons. That means there maybe reason the police didn't want to publicise or maybe that evidence is true. After all most of the times in such cases evidence comes from the police. Everything is possible even your claim. Yet you act as if you were in possession of an unique ability to see across time and distance

Actually, that's a good example of a 'strawman argument', as I have never stated that 'kitchen knives are harmless.

In fact your argument have been based on assumption that Lazio fans would get serious weapon (presumably swords and pistols) to mean business. That is an example of straw-man argument, it is obvious to everyone but you that one can do harm armed in a kitchen knife( you can harm people with your fists) that such arsenal would be clear indication of their intent.

You are making unstained and unprovable claims.

Quite right, they were actually Nazi collaborators.

They were never Nazi collaborators, that Soviet lies.

rganised a pogrom against Warsaw's Jews in 1940 shows that people

That is nonsense Harry Germans organized pogroms in occupied Poland especially in 1940.

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

Why do you need to be aggressive?

I'm not being aggressive I'm fed up with people who cannot get it. It is not first time that issue has been debated here.

Sure you have been subjected to German racist propaganda as German writing translated influenced many writers and people in other countries.

as I once read that Christopher Columbus might actually have been Polish

Well CC is a very mysterious person and most likely that wasn't his real name, so no wonder there are many theories as to his real identity. So what? Do you think that anyone is talking it seriously?Except for you that is.

. Silesian/German mother,

Silesian at the time do not equal German, and she was allegedly German as we don't know that and as you said , it's a stupid debate,People would belong to communities.

Maybe his early works were written in German. I

So that is a guess. I mean what language he spoke first. It well ma be he was bilingual.

Yes, his music is largely inspired by Poland, and he very probably was a Polish patriot. But still, he spent most of his life in France ;)
No worries tho, we have Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Ravel, etc. They are good too. We don't need to 'steal' Chopin.

To be honest Don't care about Chopin, it is music which is important and his music is profoundly Polish, I cannot put it better than that.

Of course not, because the last racist propaganda that came from Germany was in May 1945. To claim otherwise is simply BS or - as the commies used to call it - agitprop.

German racism is not reserved to the Nazi Germany.
German racism is an ideology is a pillar on which German nationalism and German identity has been funded. One German state emerged in 1872 there were three or four themes justifying fusion of many different states which has been more or less independent for 600 years. One of those was connection of all Germans by blood.

That how it started. When German scholars put their mind to it and started devising a method. Not were they alone in their racist theories a 19 century is generally an age of scientifically devised racism.

No other it is not BS it stands to reason that 19ceturey new nation would be using modern at the time theories ie racism to further their goals. It fitted Prussian goals wonderfully. ]

One nation (blood) one kaiser one state.
Even old Frederick the Great has been elevated to the hero like father figure when in fact he was nothing like it. He was queer and neurotic tyrant he almost ruined his state during the seven Years war , the Prussian state has been practically finished. What saved that country was just luck, unexpected unpredictable luck. Nothing to do with his alleged abilities.

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

Yes, and also that people back then didn't define themselves as 'nationals'

In what sense? It is really difficult to gauge what people back then have been thinking. We can agree that they didn't perceive their identity as people in modern or today world do. Foremost they were Christians belonging to sphere of the Mother Church which has been divined into the estates of the realm then they belonged to community they have been born into.For hypothetical person his allegation would be in order to the Church, county or town if townee, his estate in the realm, X province and subject of X king.

For Kopernik it would be the Church foremost and then again church as he was clergyman and then Church and then province and King.
However I do not see as this affect his perception today? After all Poles do not claim anybody who has been born east of the river Elbe as Poles or part Poles just because majority of the populations on those lands has been Slavic conquered by the Holly Roman Teutonic Empire. That would be the same logic that directs all those "arguments". Throe so called arguments stem from very modern and very fresh German nationalism who seek to grab everything they possible could as being German by "blood". I don't understand as such racist argument can be even for a while considered as valid by the present day philosophers on PF who are fist to condemn Polish nationalism ( they have no idea about ) if the opportunity arise.

Talk about Koperink and German claims is nothing more like giving to racist chauvinists claims made by certain German historian in the past whose bias should be visible today even to the most lazy eye. In short that is unsustainable BS.

Kopernik belongs to the Polish culture and to the Polish history as Poland is a natural heir of the former Polish Kingdom. It is quite simple really. It has sold rock foundation unlike fantastic claims of Germans they see connection between themselves and Arminius. Well, how that differs from Crow's stories about big Sarmatian Empire and Slavic Rule?

You all guys have been subjected to German racism based propaganda and you don't even realize it. Pathetic. Why you doubt Crow then?

Nothing changes the fact that the borders between Poland and that-time "Germany" were often blurrier than my historical knowledge has ever been!

If you are talking about something you are rather expected to know at least what and when, Talking about 15 century and having only fragmented information about Germany during WWII is not a good basic for solid debate, In other words you are staling and you don't know your ass from your elbow.

Good thing that you count all ethnic German citizens of the Second Republic as Poles, too... :)

I can do better then that, i can count all German writers, poets, scientist and all other notable people who were born or were native to land east of the river Elbe. I have as much right to do it as you to claim Kopernik and it is based on the same racist logic -" blood".

, spoke German first

Any links? It is yet another assumption taken as fact and interpreted in specific way. I'm just saying because at the time people were specking many languages but that didn't matter as much as today.

The only reason I'm asking is to learn how they know that? Did they taped his fist word or videotaped?

His 'nationality' is a useless debate.

I'm not debating his nationality but what nationality today have the right to claim him.

Miłosz and Mickiewicz were Polish-Lithuanian, and Chopin was Polish-French

Milosz was an ass hole and internationalist; Mickiweicz was a Pole as in his time Polish in Poland (ex-Poland) still meant what British in Britain means; Chopin son of a Polish lady and French immigrant born in Poland, educated in Poland, whoever he was his music is essentially Polish music. I have no idea about music or anything but I can recognize his music no brother, why? If he was French then he done more than any other Polish composer to propagate Polish culture and spirit by his music.

That's not the point of the thread though.

The point is that Kopernik has been born as a subject of the Polish King on lands that belonged to the Polish King. The fact is that your knowledge of history is very blurry at best of times.

Would I point out Thorn on a map? - You find me a German map (either prior to or from the Hitler Era) and I'd be delighted:-)

Well, I found you a German map which displays borders of states from the year1470, that is three years prior to Kopernik birth. What has Hitler to do with 1470 must be your sweet secret.
