Language / "No tak"; The Oddest Phrase In Polish For This American [75]

No in Polish do not mean yes.
Yes=tak
No alone explains as Yeah or yep in English.
Meaning of Polish No in combination with other words needs to be learned.
Like:
No Tak - can mean - well, yes, or indeed, or sure thing or told you so - depends on intonation, circumstances and context.

History / For what the Germans owe Poland one trillion U.S. dollars? [299]

Born in Poland to Polish parents and lived most of his life in Poland: he was Polish.

Born on territories under Russian Rule, hard to say whether his patents were Polish or Russian. In Poland he lived as a free man about six years in total. Plus ten years in Polish prison. Soviet agent and communist - hardly Polish.

OK in some way yes... but what would you think If an Ukrainian

What are you even talking about? Ukrainians are on the verge of becoming a nation so far they are just ethnicity.

because their elites were first Polonized and Russificized for centuries and then murdered by the Soviets

I would say BS cause it is BS find another example if you can.

Sovietization of Poland was never truly successful,

In Poland there is group of people in prominent position and in finesses and business who are Soviet grew by Kremlin on the Polish soil. Soviet -isation doesn't have to be 100% when there is no counterweight to those people.

, there were many well qualified and non-Sovietized people in the 90's and anyway we made terrible mistakes

How do you know who was and who wasn't Soviet -Pole.

what's more we're still making them... just look what the red haired fecker is doing... and people let it happen

Mistakes? What mistakes? Do you think that all is just huge coincidence? Nope - there are people who have money organization influences and knowledge how to use it. Who there is to stop it? Few amateurs with notebooks?

and people let it happen.

sure they do in the adverse circumstances ruled by soviets and their cronies with money and mass media. People need to organize themselves and step up to their duties but first need to realize what what.

Bierut,

He wasn't Polish but Soviet.

Gomułka, Osóbka-Morawsk

both traitors

Mikolajczyk

What Mikolaczyk has do do with anything - he was just a stooge for a year or so and then had to run.

Oh, sorry, I forgot that none of the post-war President, PM or vice PMs were Jewish.

None? lol

That`s correct

What are talking about? I mean what the difference whether they were of Jewish extraction or not. Those who have been working for Soviets in Poland regardless of their ethnic roots were/are just traitors.

That all that matters. Majority of traitors were ethnic Poles from villages and from the gutters. lol

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

Well, sure, if it is on the Internet it must be true...................everyone knows that.

comment made by Americans on American forum? Commenting accident or natural disaster in Poland, those posters were mocking and joking about accidents in which people actually died.

So which is not true?
I'm not making much out of it, after all the USA sharers a reasonable numbers of morons and village idiots with the rest of the world. Would that be lie as well?

History / For what the Germans owe Poland one trillion U.S. dollars? [299]

If Poles keep voting for feckin idiots, this country will not exist in 20-30 years and it's not fault of Germans, Jews, Russians or anyone else except ourselves.

Of course it is fault of Germans and Russians because they murdered and killed our elite and during soviet occupation cultivated new soviet elite.

Judeo - Commies it is much better characterisation . Most of them came from USSR. They brought judges, policemen ,clerks , yjose people changed names form Jewish to Polish and later it was hard to find out who is who . But thanks to the internet it is easier to find out now who they are .

Some however majority of them were and are of local extraction, mainly from of a gutter.

suspect I am quite a bit older than you and I have never in my life heard a joke about a Polish tragedy, in America or anywhere else, ever.

I read it on the internet after some or the other tragic accident in Poland.

Love / Mosque and Catholic Church Wedding in Poland. Is That Possible? [21]

She wanted the RCC wedding, he had to accept the conditions.

Thank you! It didn't hurt did it.

The OP was asking about having a non-Catholic ceremony followed by a Catholic one

Yes, you are right Harry this time. I do apologize, my bad. I mixed OP post with Monitor post

permission from Bishop for marriage with not Catholic,

You were right to post that example.

once knew a couple who got married only in the eyes of the church.

Well good for them. I have never complained about amount or paper work to get my marriage validated in the church.
Exactly my point - each to his own.
Your friend agreed to get married in the church and then he complains and now he is backing out. phew!crybaby

Love / Mosque and Catholic Church Wedding in Poland. Is That Possible? [21]

In this case the husband wanted nothing from the RCC. He was happy to get married anywhere. The wife was the one who wanted a church wedding. The RCC wanted something from him, not the other way round.

It was his wife to be. It was between themselves to sort it all out. He could say no to her demand of marring in the church - he goes along with it so that his choice. where is duress?

How predictable that you would blame the RCC.

Why is it necessary to force people to make a promise which they do not want to make?

because if somebody wants to be married in the Church should accept all condition attached. They could choose civil ceremony.
Why do you pretend not to understand, that what I don't like in your debates. always trying to score always with agenda. We know Harry what do you think about the RCC, you are looking for an angle to hit it again - that is not debate but boring excrement.

What an interesting way of saying that you cannot argue against the truth.

Well I say how it is I cannot be bother to yet again to prove that your logical fallacy is in fact a logical fallacy.

Do you wish to say that a wedding in a mosque and then a church is impossible but that a wedding in a synagogue and then a church is possible?

No, just wanted to say that it has nothing to the with OP qestion and with my post and is plainly off-topic. You have been using logical fallacy as your tool to hit at why you are prejudiced against that now you have lost your plot altogether. You are not able to construct a decent argument.

According to Matrimonii sacramentum from 18.03.1966 the non-Catholic party is released form making such promises. Only the Catholic party is required to make them (AAS 58(1966)

When they are marring in the church. I think it differ when they marry elsewhere but Catholic party wishes to have his/her marriage valid in the eyes of the church.

Isn't any suffering unique?

Suffering of human beings - no!
however circumstances could be unique. As in case of Poland.

Love / Mosque and Catholic Church Wedding in Poland. Is That Possible? [21]

The fact that it was made clear to him that he could either make that promise or his wife would not be allowed to get married in the eyes of the Catholic church

It is preliminary condition. You want something form them not they from you. You can walk away. If you are buying something, you do not complain about duress. take it or leave it.

where is duress?

It's the same promise that all non-Catholics have to make and it is very often made under duress.

Well, it is not nice I grant you that but necessary I think.

I see your reading skills are as sharp as ever.

Well he suggested that donation has something to do with the priest in qestion consent to they marring. Also he is making stuff up about duress, either he gave is word or not, nobody forced him to do it. If he did and he is backing out he is dishonest swine in other words economical with the truth.

Just as it is the duty of all Catholics to be monogamous and not have sex before marriage, which is why nobody in Poland has sex outside marriage, right?

I have no time for your logical fallacy Harry.

Tell that to a Jewish friend of mine who married his Catholic wife: they had their wedding in a synagogue and then in a Catholic church (

Well did I say anything about synagogue Harry? Are your reading skills are as bad as ever?

Life / Polish pretense - what's the deal? [72]

News / Hundreds of Polish guests arrived in Hungary to join the national holiday [17]

Ironside,why would he say it sounds dodgy?Because of the anti EU people that link showed?

Because around that newspaper gathers people who are in opposition to current gov and are mostly anti-EU, suspicion of what going on in politics, non-PC - well somewhat like a tea party movement with all differences in circumstances.

jon on the other hand is in the forefront of progress and PC. New word order embodied. lol
Something like die hard Obamist comparing to the USA. (with all reservation)
That make me laugh.lol

Love / Mosque and Catholic Church Wedding in Poland. Is That Possible? [21]

(although they made a sizeable donation to the church roof repair fund and he said he regarded all the promises he'd made as ones made under duress, i.e. ones with no standing),

What duress? He is just a little lying man! Well I guess it is all right for you as long as he can get away with it.

What alleged donation has anything to do with it - I don't want even to guess. As you know your friend is economical with the truth.

.so may not have the Mosque wedding here but the church one, most likely...

Well A if you don't intend to keep your word what kind of man are you?
From your post seems to me that wedding in the Church is important to your future wife.
If I were you I would reconsider marriage as her duty would be to rise children as Catholics and you wont have it.

On more practical note if you are not marring in the church and you want your marriage to be valid in the church eyes, you and your intended need to promise certain things, and sign it.

If you would be marring in the church. You would have to promise to help rise your children as Catholics, either that or that is taken for granted. Don't know what Muslims? Probably make you swear twice.

You second idea to marry in Mosque with Church blessing is impossible to achieve.
As your duty as Muslim is to rise your children as Muslim and for Catholics is the same. Contradiction.

History / Poland's Tragic History [12]

Well since you asked, my thoughts are that Poland definitely has suffered, but her suffering is not unique.

I think after further research you will find that Poland's suffering was unique. In a way.

Ignore that troll.

What are your thoughts? Again, I am not trying to start any kind of argument.

I think that you are lying here. That my thought. As for tragic history - people can deal with one thing at a time. What do you want talk about? You are too general in your OP.

Life / Men in Poland in the forest? Just men? [133]

how did this tradition arise in Poland and how is it still here

I have no clue. Never heard about it to be honest. You must have a very peculiar friends.
The only thing that comes to mind is a book I read about peasant's long gone customs of eating from one bowl but using spoons.

My advice for you and your friends would be to squat around the bowl and eat from a bowl with you foot.

Ah and don't forget about pictures.

Love / Marrying a Polish divorcee - no church wedding? [19]

Don't take it personally:)
Will you agree with me that the priest was acting rationally making "problems".
Your friend are just brewing problems for her kid in the future when he/she will ask to be removed from the Church evidence.

That is not making problems that is an obvious qestion - what would that want to baptize their child? Why on Earth? If they are not religious and do not feel a need to marry in the Church.Most likely they would and will not rise their kid with religion. Why they want burden their child with religion?

I don't know your friends but seems to me that the priest was acting rationally and your friends not. After all baptism is not takeaway to be bought at will.
