Ah! So nationalism in Scotland has nothing to do with petty nationalist.Whereas nationalism in Poland does. Say no more.
Example of what?
Not frequently but that beside the point. I don't disrespect anybody else country or their myths in an off hand manner
Talking about Harry.
Well, given the long years of freedom and independence not pestered much by wars and occupation the only thing with a really international appeal is a Danish pastry.Not bad at all.
I don't get it. Who is talking rubbish?
Harry
Independence for Scotland has nothing to do with petty nationalism and everything to do with the reality - that Scotland is a different country in many aspects to England.

Life / First communion - it's that time of year again in Poland! [109]
I just wonder why in the thread about fist communion legion of non believers,pagans, freaks and others jump out of the box like a puppet on the spring just to post on everything but topic.
I mean they never miss the occasion to say - hey I don't believe in God. That and this is a nonsense.
I mean you are atheist or agnostic or whatever - fair enough. Where this urge to stress it pall mall and all over the place came from? From insecurity, doubts, ignorance, stupidity, arrogance?
After all I'm not posting on all threads there are regardless of the subject - hey I believe in God - and you are just bloody heathens.
Why non-believers are different would that be one or few listed reason or maybe just maybe those vices are cry for help. Those people are posting about God and religion because they deep dawn carve for it. They want to be convinced otherwise, they are in want of faith.
Maybe not all but many are just lost souls.

I would say it was pretty similar.#
There could be some diversities in social order, but on average Poland has been more sparsely populated and there were more independent societies.
I;m as I have been always against Poland entering the EU. So, you can imagine I'm not happy about loosing severity to some eurocrats.

Warsaw, my chief interest,
Warsaw became capital of Poland in 1596.
The question is, did the king and nobility do anything to improve the roads in the immediate vicinity for their own convenience if not for the beautification of their capital city?

Most if not all reads in 17th century in Europe were roads without hard surface.. Only bridges were cared for with any regularity and system.
On the other hand Poland in 17th century had very well developed system of inland waterways used for mass transport and also for travel and which was much more tourist friendly and efficient than travel on mundane if not mud-caked roads of 17the century.
I can find little information about the Commonwealth's road network in the few books on Polish history written in English.

Here is the list of those AK soldiers who were killed during the Warsaw Rising:

That is not by all means a complete list:
List of people killed or died in the days of the Warsaw Uprising , the biographical notes are in the resource Wikipedia. This applies both soldiers , nurses , messengers , scouts , civilians supporting the uprising ( physicians, surgeons , priests ) , as well as victims of Nazi crimes - civilians not connected at the time of any military formation .
The mass exhumations , both soldiers and Rising civilian casualties , among other things, for fear of the outbreak of the epidemic started in early spring 1945 . , And lasted until 1948 . Invaluable in identifying the victims turned out to be a common practice identification data insertion into the bottle , which is then placed under the arm of the deceased. Formally, this issue is dealt with paper Ekshumacyjny the Town Board , and virtually mostly volunteers PCK [ 1] .
You would have to look for the regimental list of casualties in this case.
