History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]

Raised a white flag after 3 weeks after infamous bragging of running over Germany "whether they want it or not".

I doubt the Poles were "bragging of running over Germany" that's just Nazi German propaganda to help justify the Nazi invasion of Poland. It has as much credibility as the Nazi myth of "Polish calvary charging German tanks". Even if the Poles said things about the Nazis, it was if anything trash talk in response to all the bravado trash talk coming out of Nazi Germany Berlin broadcasts of the "Superior German Nazi race vs the inferior Polish/Slavic race" etc.

Also Poland did not fall in 3 weeks. It fell in FIVE weeks to BOTH Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. Nazi Germany's defeat of Poland would have been temporary if Russia did not attack Poland on the other side AND give Nazi Germany 2 years of war resources and fuel when it originally only had 60 days of war resources and fuel.

Thats why you murder Jews, Poles and Russians when their armies are away and lose all actuall wars?

Its not fair to make these negative generalizations about Ukrainians.

Where I grew up there were a plenty of ukies around, and I know what that they do not respond to push, the only way is kick them in the butt.

That's not nice. The Ukrainian Americans I know are good people.

When they lost the war against everyone, first they got beaten by polish civilians, then they got beaten by the polish army and then they got b*tchslapped by Russia.
Then they failed to establish a proper economy which led to them starving several milion of their own people to death and then blaiming their incompetence on Russia.

Come on Sok. That's not nice. For much of Ukraine's history, like Poland, it was a victim of circumstances prompted by outside powers. The Ukrainians were fighting to survive against others just like Poland was when hyper nationalism was making nations in Europe (especially the large ones) go crazy and make them kill others who were not like them.

The Polish were the allies of one faction of the Ukrainians under command of Petliura.

This is very true. Things were very complicated in Ukraine in past years.

As you say there were a whirlpool of battles, events, governments, armies passing through Ukraine. Just like in Poland. Ukraine was a victim of circumstances and a whirlpool of events prompted by outside powers just like Poland was before and during the WWI to WWII period. This is why I think Poles and others should be slow to criticize Ukrainians since Ukrainians had a tragic COMPLICATED history just like Poland in those years.

Things were not black and white. It was all gray.

Life / IS Poland in danger of becoming the next multi cultural sink hole? [201]

I don't see you doing much to preserve Polish culture by sitting in America.

You are the last person to judge if somebody is preserving their culture. So by your logic all the German Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans are letting their ancestral culture erode by living in America? Frankly they are expanding it to America by living in America.

Are your Russian Americans letting Russian culture erode by living in America? I don't think so. They have expanded it in areas where there are Russian Americans, like San Francisco.

So, little Polack racist - what do you know about the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Multi-cultural Poland in the 17th century only hurt Poland because it balkanized Poland. Similarly to the destruction of Yugoslavia, the various ethnic groups in Poland were more loyal to their ethnic identity then to Poland and therefore undermined Poland and made Poland more vulnerable to outside forces. This led to Poland's breakup into pieces ruled by others.

Russki racist, do you know the people in Siberia see their identity more as Siberian then Russian and are considering breaking off from the rest of Russia?

The more you put ethnic groups into a country, the more vulnerable it is to falling a part. This goes back to what happened to the Roman Empire and then some.

History / Russians 'tortured to death' in Polish camps? [58]

And ask yourself why the Soviet-communists in Poland should paint the Soviets in glorious light against the fascist West, they had been mortal enemies for decades.

errrrr...what? Not sure of your point.

Maybe the Soviet Communists in Poland painted a positive picture of the Soviet Union because.....um......they took orders from them? I dunno.

History / Russians 'tortured to death' in Polish camps? [58]

Poland was under communist rule which for decades got on with teaching hate and a kind of history which needed a common enemy which made the Russian the goodies...

How can that be when the Communists, who controlled Poland and its history books, were pro-Soviet Russia?

I spoke to a French guy the other day and asked him what he thought about the Germans and although he rolled his eyes and said well "they're OK" he then later emphasized that there is no way the French people could ever forgive or forget what the Germans did to them. That sentiment seemed to be right on the tip of his tongue despite all these years after WWII. I kind of found that surprising since there are some like yourself talking about how the French and Germans are all reconciled now and good buddies. I don't think that's so. So it looks like parts of the West still have a little way to go to complete their reconciliation with Germany.

Maybe the French and German governments are pals, but I think the French and German people have more of a relationship of reluctant toleration for each other then actual reconciliation.

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]

We got our asses kicked because of number 1 reason numbers.

I would say that's at least half the reason.

So hopefully Poland will learn from this and increase its population now. Poland just increasing its population by a few million in the next 5-10 years will be very beneficial to Poland in many ways. If it doesn't, that will only hinder Poland.

When I first learned about WWII, I thought Germany had like 42 million people and Poland had like 32 million people. Instead Germany had 71 million people (virtually homogenous) while Poland had about 31 million people with an ethnic Polish population of only 25 million people (while havng non-Poles less loyal to Poland then the ethnic Poles). I had no idea the German population was so much bigger.

Germany back in WWII had a nice big juicy youthful ethnic German population that was just chomping at the bit to fight (Not so today at all). Germany also initially only had about 45-60 days worth of oil and resources for its army. Germany only got several years worth of war supplies when it signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with Soviet Russia which assured Germany of almost limitless war resources. Without the unlimited war resources, the Nazi German army would have run out of gas.....literally, within 60 days of invading Poland. Without those Soviet supplies, the German war machine would have been nothing after 60 days. And Soviet Russia, despite having almost twice as many people as Germany, didn't dare invade much smaller Poland until it knew Germany was well into Poland. Neither Germany or Russia were ever successful in invading Poland (and holding it down) WITHOUT each other's help, despite each nation haveing large numerical advantages over Poland.

Today, Germany has about 81 million people. 22% of Germany is 65 years and older and the average age is 46.. Not exactly the fighting type of demographic. About 10 million people in Germany are non-German so the ethnic German population is about 26% age 65 and older and the average age of the ethnic German is about 48.

The average Pole is about 37, the population is about 39 million and about 15% of the Polish population is 65 and older. Its good Poland improved its demographics much more then Germany improve hers since the end of WWII but it needs to do more just in case there maybe some aggression coming from Germany. I don't think there will, but you never know.

One of the keys to Poland's security is its population numbers numbers numbers numbers. In Europe, he who has growing population numbers.... has a future. Its no coincidence that the most influential countries in Europe have the biggest population numbers.

USA, Canada / Chicago's 1.1 million Polish Americans celebrated Constitution Day [47]

Anyone with any sort of patriotism would want to be a citizen of their homeland.

But if they are born in America, shouldn't they be patriotic to America since that's where most Polish Americans are born? So should German Americans be first patriotic to Germany and not America since they are of German ancestry????

It really is that simple - of course, being a Polish citizen brings obligations, and we just can't have that, can we?

An anti-Polish troll like you is the last person to pass judgement on people of Polish ancestry.

A person's obligation, is to the country they live in first and foremost. Not the country of their ancestral origin.

With your twisted logic, that means Irish-American, Italian American, German American and Russian Americans can't celebrate their ethnic roots without going back to their ancestral homeland. What a moron you are.

This isn't about ethnic Americans being patriotic toward their ancestral homeland. Its about them celebrating their ethnic origin. How big of a moron are you not to understand the difference? You always look for these nit picking issues to attack people of Polish ancestry.

USA, Canada / Chicago's 1.1 million Polish Americans celebrated Constitution Day [47]

The fact that only 20,000 of them could be bothered to vote for the head of state says it all.

LOL

But weren't you angry before that "too many" Poles in America were voting in the Polish elections? So now you're arguing both sides of the argument. LOL As far as Poles in the US voting in the Polish elections, they are damned if they do and damned if they don't from your point of view.

Irish America's biggest contribution to Ireland was providing money for terrorists - so I'm not surprised.

Now that's not a nice thing to say about the Irish. :( :( You should apologize to people of Irish ancestry on this forum.

Riiiight. You couldn't even reply to several forum posters when they asked you questions in Polish ;)

Really, do you have examples? I admit I'm not fluent in Polish but I know much more then you.

Delphy I am afraid you are describing yourself. You are the one who can't answer basic questions in Polish let alone know about basic things happening in Poland. This coming from a guy who claims to live in Poland for years! LOL

Attacking me isn't going to change anything, Polack - you're still unable to speak the language despite claiming to be Polish.

We both know I speak more Polish than you.

So you think me pointing out that you only know 20 words in Polish is an "attack" on you?? After all the horrible things you have said about people of Polish ancestry inside and outside of Poland? Geez LOL

I think your Moscow temper is getting the best of you :(

Tinfoil hat - on!

delphy you are the one with the tinfoil hat. The volume of your messages on this forum in your quest to patrol it about things said about your beloved Russia, speaks for itself as to how paranoid you are. :(

Let's see. I have been on this forum since Aug 30, 2008 and have posted 925 messages and you have been on here for less time then me and have posted 6150 messages. You have posted about 7 times as much as me as of now, and most of the time you are attacking Poles especially after they have had some criticisms of your Russia.

conclusion: delphiadomine paranoia - on!

Do you always have to be a troll?

Will you be next telling all the Italian, Irish and German Americans to come and help Italy, Ireland and Germany?

Incidentally, as you don't speak Polish - how do you know it was Polish? To the untrained ear, Polish is pretty much the same as other Slavic languages.

You are a perpetual liar and you and I both know that I speak more Polish (among other languages) then you do.

Incidentally, when will you increase your Polish vocabulary past 20 words since you are the one who claims to live in Poland?

Better yet, for somebody who fights tooth and nail for his ancestral homeland of Russia, when will you move to Russia to learn some Russian? lol

Chicago is a great city. I went there on a business trip some time ago and was pleasantly surprised.

I have been to big cities like New York City and Los Angeles where I noticed Spanish being the main foreign language being spoken. I was pleasantly suprised that when I visited Chicago for the first time that the main foreign language being spoken, in the center of Chicago near the Sears Tower, was POLISH. I thought that was pretty cool. :) I also heard Polish being spoken at O'Hare airport more then any other language.

I like Los Angeles and New York City, but I have to say, the center of Chicago was noticeably cleaner then the other two big cities. It seemed safer then the centers of the other two cities.

History / The smallest Poland ever? [115]

The only people blackening Poland's name are racist Russkie enemy within anti-Polish bigots like yourself that was allowed into the country. You would know about Poland letting in people who don't speak Polish and don't belong in Poland. Poland let you in. LOL

Albanians didn't live in Kosovo in the large numbers that they do now. Kosovo always had Serbian culture within it.

Who cares if Serbia was or was not backed by Russia? I have nothing against average Russians. Just racist Russkis like yourself.

Poland's government recognized Kosovo basically to go along to get along with other EU countries that recognized Kosovo.

I think Poles are divided on Kosovo. Your favorite Polish president LOL sided with the Serbs. Why is it that Crow can show a lot of Pro-Serbian demonstrations in Poland? That's quite a bit of footage he has ;)

Also since your favorite country Russia supports Serbia, shouldn't you be more supportive of Serbia??

History / The smallest Poland ever? [115]

Nothing is perfect. It would always be nice for a country to have more land, but what good is it if you have more land but ethnic populations within that extra land don't have loyalty to the country as a whole and only to their ethnic enclave?? That was the position of Poland before 1795.

Thank God Poland has a larger population today then 70 years ago and its mostly homogenous. Poland's territory maybe more compact then before but at least it doesn't have the ethnic problems of the old Yugoslavia. For now at least. As long as it strictly controls who comes into the country.

But what you say about large populaton countries is generally true. If you're a large population country, its definitely better and it helps to hedge you against neighboring countries. As long as you don't have uncontrollable enemy within ethnic populations trying to undermine you inside your own borders.

Having said that, in my opinion, Poland's future (like all European countries) is in its population growth rate. If its population dies out, it will suffer. If it increases its population, that will only open up opportunities for it.

Mexicans have opened up many opportunities to increase the size of Mexico at America's expense without firing a shot against America, by simply increasing its population and having it flood over the American border to one day seize parts of Southern United States for Mexico. The Russians have been kind of doing that with Eastern Ukraine. Russia spilled over millions of Russians into Eastern Ukraine and today there are many ethnic Russians in Ukraine and outside Ukraine who feel Eastern Ukraine is actually defacto Russian property because of that.

Speaking about territory, maybe Poles should start increasing their population to give Poland more opportunities to increase its territory the way Mexicans and Russians are trying to do so? LOL

One of the key reasons why sadly Serbia lost territory, is because the territory it lost was outnumbered 7 to 1 by non-ethnic Serbs. That was a big argument used by those who wanted to take that land from Serbia.

There will always be a direct connection between the existence of an ethnic group and the ownership of the land beneath it.

News / What are Poland's optimal both real and virtual neighbors? [81]

Ukraine is definitely one of them Nathan. Many similarities in ethnics, culture, food, mentality. It's no wonder Poles and Ukrainians get along abroad.

I can see that.

Even though Ukraine and Poland historically had their differences (a chunk of it started by old Soviet divide and conquer propaganda dividing them), in recent years Ukrainian and Polish leaders have been improving their relations, which is nice to see.

I can say, in my personal experiences with Ukrainian Americans here in the US, they seemed to respect the fact that I am a Polish American. It could be because in general Slavic Americans like to get along here in the US. Or it could be because of other reasons. Its all good to me either way.

Yes this is true and we all saw how well it worked out for Poland to allow every Tom Dick and Harry into the country then. LOL We saw how well the multi-ethnic group nation of Yugoslavia worked out LOL

I can see letting a modest amount of foreigners into a country who are willing to integrate into their new country and put their loyalties first to the country they are living in and not their ethnic group. But that's rarely the case. Most groups go into other countries like France and Britain and then try to Balkanize the country. Why would any country want to destabilize itself like this?

So why did you say that?

I didn’t say that. That’s the point. If you could read normally you would know that.

As a maximum rate tax payer I don't feel especially under a "strain". Tax rates are calculated at a rate that people can pay.

You paying the maximum tax rate?? LOL
Yes tax rates are calculated at a rate that people can pay. So lets keep it that way.

Jonny - doesn't it crack you up that despite MediaWatch endorsing Radio Maryja and PiS, he has absolutely no clue about their economic policies? :)

It cracks me up when I see you talking to your other puppet personality “Jonny”
I find it very interesting how you “and” Jonny say almost word for word the same things and how his writing style is virtually identical to yours. Gee I wonder why! LOL

For once some sense. That money of course must come from the society in which those poor kids are part. Rendering your 'argument' useless since you're now contradicting yourself.

No its not because I’m talking about the future especially the near term future. You sound very naïve about basic economics. Haven’t you heard about the looming debt crisis of the US and many European nations? The nations having the greatest debt problems are the ones with the largest welfare expenses. But I’m sure that’s fine with you because you think money grows on trees and you’re a beneficiary of these freeloader handouts. Its explains why you have 14 hours a day to be on the Polish forums.

Something I've done twice with rather a lot of sucess. It's called living in the real world rather than sitting in a teenage bedroom pretending you know it all and spouting crazy theories about tax that you've never paid.

What baloney. I’ve paid more taxes then you ever will.
Your comment is actually much more applicable to a freeloader like you. For you to characterize my saying that there is a limit to what taxpayers will pay as being “crazy” shows what an ignoramus you are. Only a fool like you thinks its crazy to say taxpayers have a limit. But I don’t blame you for saying it since you are a freeloader off of taxpayers.

So now you're getting even further from reality and suggesting I do what I do for the love of it!

But its true you do love what you do! The business you have using different personalities and coming on the Polish Forums 14 hours a day is something you enjoy very much! LOL

50% of my income actually to the government of Poland, a country you've never been to. From my job teaching BHP courses to oil engineers every alternate month. This month off, before that Istanbul, Mexico from Saturday. Though as of July I'm non-resident, so I get to keep it all.

You teaching about oil??? LOL In Poland?? What for? Poland has big oil projects going on? Really?
The only courses you might give is to other people on how to come on the Polish forum to critize Poland.

Anyone with any basic understanding of economics knows that there is a certain point that you can raise taxes to, like the Laffer curve shows. Taxes are based on how much the government spends and the government just can't tax people past a certain point.

Have you met many people who've "gone into poverty" because of paying tax? It hasn't happened in your lifetime. Tax rates are a percentage of income calculated on the basis of a combination of public need and the amount the taxpayer can afford

No fool. Of course nobody has ever said "I am now in poverty because of the taxes I paid". But if you don't think higher taxes on those who pay taxes puts a strain on them, you are delusional. Anyone who has a shred of knowledge of economics knows this. Welfare is one of the largest expenses of the US government and other governments. So according to you, its impossible for taxpayers to be exploited by their government and for the government to be unable to sustain its debt obligations, much of it being for welfare? You haven't heard of the huge debt crisis threatening the US and many European countries?

Not very bright, are you?

The children? Aren't they entitled to the best start in life that society can provide? Regardless of their parents' shortcomings.

Yes so lets make sure there is enough money for them and not give them incentives to strain the taxpayers even more. You Libs are always good at telling other people what to do with their money.

Go to the third world and say that. Or parts of north and east Poland for that matter. But you've never been to Poland, have you?

Wow that sounds exactly what Delphiadomine would say to me. You not only support his anti-Polish tirades but you are starting to sound like him virtually word for word. Gee I wonder why LOL

Have you been to north, east or for that matter western or southern Russia? Do you think Putin's government is giving all those feckless and indolent Russians there tons of welfare payments? LOL

Maybe some sort of source for that. No, I didn't think so. :-)

Wow another Delphiadomine like comment virtually word for word LOL

Listen Delphiadomine.....I mean Jonny,

If you have to ask me for a source to show that giving people free money saps them of their desire to create a business and work hard for themselves, then that proves to me all your talk about running businesses is nothing but crap. No successful business man would want "proof" that giving somebody continuous handouts saps them of their desire to be productive. That's common knowledge among successful business people, which you are not.

Not too bright, are you?

But since you are a moron about basic economics and that the key for starting a business is NOT handouts from anyone, here is a video on Freeloaders just for you. I'm sure you will be able to relate to it.

Notice how the Indians who get the least financial aid from the US government are the most prosperous of the Indian Tribes. The Indians living in the slums get the most govermnent aid!

No. It was all about money and the opportunity to make it.

What a dumb comment for somebody who claims to run businesses.

So having a desire and a strong work ethic has nothing to do with the opportunity to make money? You are so full of crap about your alleged "businesses".

Well, I pay tax at the highest rate! More than just "modest contributions", isn't it

Easily and logically.

So my suggesting that conservative people don't like living in poor conditions proves to you beyond a doubt that I feel there are no poor conservatives?? Wow great logic LOL

Not a gesture; it's the law. In Poland and wherever you live.

So all laws are infallible? The question is it morally right to burden taxpayers who aren't as rich as you to continously pay for, as you say, feckless and indolent parents raising kids when many of these taxpayers could most likely go into poverty themselves with these policies? I

A civilised society, where every child has as good a chane as possible, regardless of the quality of their parents

Its one thing to help people who are temporarily unemployed or have hard times through no fault of their own. But we are talking about here helping financially forever, feckless and indolent parents as you say. Is that really fair to other taxpayers? Especially taxpayers who are potentially vulnerable to poverty themselves?

Since you care about feckless and indolent parents a lot, why don't you lend them your house or something? That's what they really need. Its not enough just helping them with some modest contributions here and there.

How do you propose to change that? Abandoning them to their own devices which the widespread existence of slums and poverty shows is ineffective. Or some darker and less humane method?

Come on.

Do you mean a smart guy like yourself who has supposedly been successful in business can't figure that out? LOL

You make future policies that give these people incentives to work and provide for themselves. You would be surprised how many feckless and indolent people are no longer feckless and indolent when they know a check won't be coming to them for being feckless and indolent.

When you give free money to someone, it saps them of their desire to work hard or think outside of the box to produce something.

Wasn't your success running your businesses prompted by tapping your inner work ethic and desire?

Well that's fine. Its a nice gesture for someone like you who is "rich" to give some of your tax money to feckless and indolent parents who can't take care of their own kids.

But why should other taxpayers who are not as rich as you be mandated to give their tax money to these feckless and indolent parents who can't raise their kids without help? Why perpetuate a culture of feckless and indolent people having kids who will only burden most non-rich taxpayers?
