I received a warning from the American embassy in Warsaw that I need to avoid tomorrow's demonstrations since the groups involved are violent.

Copernicus decided who he was when he fought for the Polish king in defence of Olsztyn against the German knights. Nothing can be clearer than that.

GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK
Germans have always wanted to Germanize anything Polish.

Love / I need advice: divorce and my rights as a father in Poland [165]

You have a child in a different country? Well, here are some reasons why women prefer to raise a child by themselves:

Note the extremely high immaturity level noted under 'reasons'. Yet, these women are raising children?? Shocking. The comments section is worth reading as well.

Harry, in a previous thread, I've already quoted General Anders comments about the 'invitation'. You got busted then and I don't have the inclination to spank you again, although you deserve it. I don't call people names but with you I'll make an exception. Stop being such a loser!

History / Do Poles really blame Britain for Poland becoming Communist after the war? [104]

Are you proud of the +100,000 Poles who fought in the Nazi army and the +200,000 Poles who fought in the Red Army?

Such even numbers; amazing.
Anyway, it's been more than covered in these forums in other threads that the vast majority of these so-called Polish citizens were considered to have some German extraction, the so-called "Volksdeutsche". Others were members of not-quite-Polish minorities. That fundamental aspect is intentionally ignored by some with an anti-Polish agenda.

As to Poles serving in the Soviet army, not many had a choice; it was either imprisonment which meant certain death or taking up arms against the Germans. At least the latter had the hopeful prospect of freeing the homeland.

Invest in General Anders book, "An Army in Exile" which explains much to those like you who seem to have some insecurity issues.

Its pilots had the habit of claiming to have shot down more planes than they actually did, as demonstrated by the day they claimed to have shot down more German planes than the entire allied airforces managed in reality.

During the war; people in Britain were more than grateful for the exceptional skill the Polish pilots showed and indeed, the certifiable kills by these pilots became legendary. In fact, they were considered "The Glamor Boys of England" by some accounts.

You might want to pick up a copy of "A Question of Honor" by two non-Polish authors; Lynne Olson and Stanley Cloud. If you have already read the book and still deny the facts then you don't you have a heart; but you also don't have a brain, at least not a logical one.

History / Why have Poles contributed so little to Academics? (Particularly Science) [180]

German Jews were always considered fellow Germans by the majority of non-Jewish Germans.

Yes indeed; in fact, they were considered so very German that there was a special holiday set aside for Jews. It was called Kristallnacht.
Later, Germans even offered to give them ovens as gifts - to compliment the bullets.

Polish Jews have flooded out of Poland for at least 200 years.......

.......and yet somehow, up to 3/4 ths of the world's population 200 years ago lived in the 'lands of the Poles'. It is truly an amazing thing that Jews chose to live there because it was so bad. After all, weren't other countries more appealing?

Love / Is the masculine look on women popular in Poland? [30]

how can other girls mimic a masculine looking face?

Grow a mustache.

Annie Lennox is beautiful, but a lot of men would find her masculine, personally I find her striking:

Nice photo; which one is she?

In his book; "Don't Mind if I Do", actor George Hamilton (who I actually met at the Playboy mansion) says this about Edyta when he partnered up with her on "Dancing With the Stars".

"My assigned partner was soon introduced to me. Her name was Edyta Sliwinska and she was so striking that I knew the only way I could upset this woman would be if I got between her and the mirror. For all her ravishing beauty Edyta still inspired confidence. ... She was tall and powerful. From the moment I met her I knew I was in good hands.

"Not to worry little prince" she fired off in an intoxicating Polish accent. While she had this sinuous body of a showgirl she had the rock-solid personality of an iron worker
."

Hamilton continues (I found this part hilarious)

"I quickly made a two-hour film in my head featuring Edyta driving a team of mules across the Polish countryside, while fighting off invading Mongol warriors. Then - and only then- taking time to self deliver her baby in the field."

Oh, what the heck; here is George and Edyta.......

From Hamilton's book: "Don't Mind if I Do"

"For every complaint I had about my diminished capabilities, Edyta had a ready answer; "Because of my broken ribs, I have a little dip and twirl problem" I malingered.

"I can dip and twirl myself, no one will ever know the difference" she assured me with only the slightest touch of narcissism."

Love / How many Polish men are Violent how much is domestic abuse reported. [129]

Domestic violence is a problem amongst all nationalities, and it shouldn't be accepted from either gender!

Exactly right! Yet, some women prefer to think otherwise. Somehow, they've been so indoctrinated with 'political correctness' of the feminist type that no amount of objective evidence can turn their false 'feelings' around to the truth.

I think people of both sexes need to be taught that violence is unacceptable and that in some cases it can be fuelled by alcohol!

You are right again but I would add that a relationship between two people is personal and therefore dynamic. Personal 'hurts' interfere and of course there is a strong psychological aspect as well. For those who have not seen the Fiebert studies, just a quick reading of the bottom line in each says it all.

UK, Ireland / Culture shock (my neighbours in the UK are Polish and Slovak) [88]

"...one interesting cultural thing is that Poles tend to talk over each other in conversations
they do not wait until one person has stopped talking, they just butt in.
"

Yea, but what about the men?
-----------------------------

"Roma...."

"My neighbours are Polish and Slovak. I have never has neighbours from Europe before."

Yep. the non Poles are probably Gypsies. Don't buy anything from them. ....and you aren't English.
---------------------------

Let me educate you about the Poles. They are accustomed to receiving expensive gifts that are secretly left on their doorsteps. Envelopes filled with money is also acceptable. Once a week leave something of worth for them and after one year has elapsed, introduce yourself but do it humbly with head bowed. Poles expect this from people they don't know. After this, I assure you that they will talk to you. Good luck.

Genealogy / One parent Polish, the other one German - their children? [16]

If one parent is Polish and the other parent is something else then it is proper to default to Polish as your heritage. ... unless of course you are a jerk. In that case, you are the other ethnicity. :)

I have found that generally, people who are half-sies usually claim Polish as their ancestry. An English friend of mine even commented on that phenomena.

Love / POLISH GIRLFRIEND WONT PAY HER WAY [127]

men make more money, so they have to pay.

That's an interesting way to put it, that is, using the word "have" as if that's some sort of demand.
Of course men make more money; they work in the most dangerous jobs that pay more. Men also work more overtime than women yet you demand more from them than you give.

Of course your simple comment begs the following question: what if the woman makes more money than the man, is she also exempt because of her sex?

I would never go out with a guy who is cheap.

Yet a woman who doesn't pay her 'fair share' isn't cheap? lol Only todays modern women fail to comprehend that their many double-standards eventually come back to bite them on their wide butts.

some men like to pay-

Yes, there are some dinosaurs left but I'll let you in on a secret. Many men still assume that it's their duty to pay because they haven't been able to shake off their cultural programming in that area which almost all women continue to reinforce. We, nevertheless, want women to live up to their rhetoric about "equality" and fairness which they, not surprisingly, wish to evade when it comes to monetary issues.

Obviously some of the guys here are cheap buggers and they whine -

Yes, yes, we all know that only women are allowed to have 'issues'. Males have to continue to "take it like a man".

Gentlemen (and good women), there you have it. Another woman exposes her hypocrisy. Feminist fellow travelers like Aphrodisiac fail in logic because they major in 'feelings'.

Love / POLISH GIRLFRIEND WONT PAY HER WAY [127]

Zimmy, why the heck did you have dinner with her in the first place ?

She was very attractive and at the time I thought she was smart. It's also the way I roll. I enjoy fine dining and a nice 2 hour dinner with wine gives me plenty of time to get to know how someone reacts, eats, thinks, etc.

If she had paid for your meal would you have considered a second date with her?

That would have been a shock with this particular woman since that idea was alien to her. But if she 'saw the light' and wanted to pay then just maybe there would have been some redemption for her. I'd give her another shot.....

You tested her but maybe she was testing you?

She certainly was unhappy about the final test score (lol).

the person no matter woman or man who initiates a date at a café or restaurant should pay the check

That's good in theory and I concur with it. Here's the problem though; men are still expected to initiate dates and that puts them in a "Catch 22". Men are still expected to ask for the date and ergo, they pay for it.

Even when women do the asking they still expect the men to pay. Let's be honest about this.

he amount of sexism and racism in this thread is unbearable.

Are you a women's studies major? lol The ones I've met 'feel' that everything is unbearable if it doesn't go their way. If asking women who demand equality to pay their fair share is unbearable then the world you live in must exist outside the sphere of logic.

a man who is desperate about having to pay for a woman's meal had better not get anyone pregnant....

You suggest that a man is "desperate" under that circumstance. What do you call women who always expect men to pay while they never or rarely do? They must be way beyond "desperate".

you all are, permanently or from time to time, in relationships with Slavic women because you couldn't afford British/American women.

What an incredible insult to Slavic women. In effect, you are saying that they are somewhat less than human...and you are the one concerned with "sexism"?

I have about 50 pairs of shoes. If I want to, I will but 50 more

Another shoe obsessed female fetishist eh? Shoes seem to be a security blanket for lots of women.

I have only allowed men to pay for my tea.

You have "allowed" eh? Interesting choice of words.

most importantly, do not make offensive verbal generalisations on the Internet.

Heal thyself first.

Your story is funny though

I confess to getting a certain kind of satisfaction out of my real life 'skits'. It makes life more of an adventure but it's also my study of human nature which I enjoy so much.

Another time I'll tell you about the young woman who was seated with a skirt so short that I could tell her the color of her underwear. More than half of her bosom was also popping out. What did we talk about? Can you believe that a portion of the conversation had to do with her pretending to be upset that men look at women as sex objects? I'll admit to intentionally seeking such confrontations but only if the person in question deserves it.

Did you go on a second date?

No, nor did I wish to ask for one. Not surprisingly, she never called me again although I have seen her a couple of times at a private club but no words were spoken between us.

Love / POLISH GIRLFRIEND WONT PAY HER WAY [127]

I pay my way all right.

Almost every woman I've met claims that, yet few do.

I still chuckle over a date I had some time ago and it bears repeating. On a first date I took a woman to a very nice restaurant and over dinner her feminist verbalizations became so pronounced that I decided to elicit her opinions on 'equality'. Her observations were standard feminist hokum. I could have repeated everything she said better than she could but I edged her along. "Yes, yes" she said when asked her if gender is a social construct and that there were no differences between the sexes, etc. At the end of the meal, I picked up the check and told her what her half of the dinner cost plus tip. She looked bewildered and said something about me being "cheap". I told her that it was only fair to split the bill because after listening to her, I understood that she was an "empowered" woman who didn't need a man to pay for her entertainment. She became incredulous. I saw her reactions coming and indeed, looked forward to them. Never before had this woman been told to live up to her rhetoric. She assumed that I was another male patsy. When she said that she didn't have enough money on her I politely asked her if she had credit cards. She took one out and I suggested that the whole bill go on her card and I would pay her the difference in cash; this way she'd have adequate money with her. By this time she was aghast and simultaneously fidgety. It was one of the best 'first dates' I ever had and as you can guess, not the only time I called women on their hypocrisy when it comes to money issues.

There is a reason why the term "gold digger" is used so often. Women have only themselves to blame for it.

A philosopher or even worse.. a marxist??

Charles Dickens and Joseph Conrad inspire me because they understood the human condition.
As to Marxism, evidently you have not read my frequent defenses of individualism and free enterprise.

Are you really really sure you do not have a personal agenda?

Your interest in my private affairs is endearing but 'let it go' after a while.

I am convinced you do.

If that is your preferred delusion then stick with it. Seems that is the small fishbowl you prefer to be swimming in.

Not that I really care that much.

I picture you lighting candles in my honor.

If you don't like women,

Typical comment, no surprises there.

go gay.

I believe you are the 4th female to suggest that to me in these forums. Small people talk like that. Perhaps you can use the "women and children" defense?

This thread deals with a woman's failure to pay her "fair share" which seems to be endemic to women in general. Seems like modern "empowered" women stumble quite-a-bit when it comes to money issues. That's when they become "traditional' again. Smart men don't play that game.

please don't judge all us women by the couple of bees

It should be evident by now that I refer to feminists and feminist fellow travelers in my critiques. In previous threads I've quoted quite a few women who actually like men.

You also underestimate the amount of women who play the double-standards. If it were only a "couple of bees" then this wouldn't even be a topic of discussion.

you have had the misfortune, sorry, misjudgement, to choose,

You have a common syndrome that seems to afflict many women and some men. You assume that there is something personal about my reasoning. There isn't. You make the mistake of assuming something without a shred of evidence because that seems to be the only way you can skirt the issues at hand. My opinions are based not only on experience, but much more so on common sense and facts. There is a higher good then the one we all individually experience. This objective good is pursued by me.

Love / POLISH GIRLFRIEND WONT PAY HER WAY [127]

I have difficulty in understanding married couples who keep separate accounts.. IMHO, all earnings should be pooled together and all expenses, both common and individual, funded from the common pot..

I must remind you that the female mind is different from yours. For example; women 'feel' that any money a man makes is half theirs (or more) and any money the woman makes is all hers. That is their definition of "equality".

I have to make my wife pay for the windows. I've just paid a tidy sum for new doors and I'm getting fed up of always dipping into my pockets. If she wants new windows, she can save up for them.

See above comment.

If marriage is to be a shared thing then, well, costs have to be shared ;)

No, no, no. that's real "equalilty" which is a concept alien to the modern woman who has been taught to keep all the traditional privileges and not giving them up while conversely demanding more and more from men in areas they 'feel' slighted. IF real equality was demanded of women they'd go back to living the culture of the 1950's in a New York second.

It seems to be my money when a joint purchase is to be made but her money is hers and not used as often as mine.

Of course; you must live by the "take it like a man" rule when it suits the 'modern' women. Yet, so many feminist fellow travelers, at least in the western world, constantly proclaim their "empowerment"

in areas that they find advantageous. In short, they want it both ways. That's why the long term prognosis for women is dismal. That cultural bubble must burst of its own double standard petards.

Life / The Blame Game (Have you ever noticed that a Polish person is never wrong!?) [205]

The degree to which some Poles assert their being right makes me cringe.

You have successfully completed your mission and will now be recalled for debriefing. Your next cultural assignment will find you in central Africa where you will be directed to study the Bonobo and its societal habits. Of particular interest is evidence suggesting that the Bonobo primates often argue amongst themselves. We have no doubt that you will be as successful with this new assignment as you have been with the previous one.

By the way, your thesis 15 years ago on the mating habits of Tazmanian Devils is legendary and is often used as a fundamental guide when studying other marsupials.

Life / The Blame Game (Have you ever noticed that a Polish person is never wrong!?) [205]

On March 5, 1964, Mr. Walenty Winokowski admitted to being "wrong", but Mrs. Winokowski corrected him and said that he wasn't.
Conversely, (or almost so), Stash McShane who is only half Polish admitted to being only half wrong which of course made him half right.
Coincidently on that same date, Jeeves Smith being English, never had to address the righteousness of being right or wrong. He just kept a stiff upper lip which he blamed on Botox injections.
