I don't think Poles would be any different. They'll undoubtedly be as much hospitable to Bulgarians and Ukrainians. As long as we don't touch history there is always warm feelings among us. Personally, I had some nice encounters with Polish people.

You should have specified that you didn't mean the nails. You might have been lucky that day :)
I hope he did - they looked like those stringy sprouts the cooks add to the spring soups in Asian restaurants. This adds a bit to the value, no doubt.
I think they noticed that the pizza was baked pre-cut by a very dull utensil. They would also have appreciated the glazed topping.
I think you served your countrimen by increasing their protein ration while on military duty. In other countries it is considered heroism. It was courageous and loudable, Havok.
I think it is the other way around. People for centuries were trying to artificially select for dogs which look like humans: chiahuas, chupacabras, pitbulls - all are just human faces. So, that mechanic looked munching like human and pitbulls "synthesized" to follow our natural deviances.
Not her, it would have been my wife or gf who would have to prove my "cleanliness" to be honoured to eat out of the dog's place. I was alone there that night.
After this demonstration, I asked her if she wanted to chew mine. She declined.

I had a similar case, but the hosts simply let the dog on a chair and he ate off my left-overs even though I wasn't finished yet. The host's mother said that if I want she would kiss her dog's butt just to assure his "cleanliness". I politely refused the demonstration.
This is ... Damn. Reminds me seeing on TV a hidden camera of a cook who was making some soup in a restaurant and his long, greying, dirty Harley Davidson-like hair fell into the soup. Guess what he did??? He squeezed the last drop out his hair into the soup, brushed it away on his back and went on adding spices.

What are they? Not the ones written in books covered in dust or applied at a table or in conversation in some circles of so-called high society, but just everydays behaviour of you, your parents, friends, enemies,...Do you find it striking when they are absent or don't care at all? Do you have sex the way my ex-house-mate when in sleep I started to think it was me doing his girl-friend? Do you sip your soup like a vacuum-cleaner? Do you open a door for a woman or an old person? What bothers you in its observance? Are there myths about other people's etiquette rules?

Heavy industry, more correctly.
What about fifteen republics of the SU, Warsaw block, Cuba and half of Asia and Africa? It is somewhere around half of the world's population, if not more.
They are not communist in a true sense of this word because they cooperate with bourgeois leeches who suck away from poor proletarians. Somehow these leeches invest in the Chinese economy when the almighty communist regime having everything: manpower, resources is not able to feed its populace. So much for the communism.
Too many unsupported generalizations, PP - visit China and see what this growth is based on.
Communist countries have industry, but limited trading partners.

Nicely put. So true.
At least there is a balance, a chance of having a bit less idiots on one side to choose from. In one party system there is no natural selection.
Humans are humans ;)
Isn't it a hardcore statement of Communism: from anyone by his abilities and to anyone according to his needs? This is even against physics!
Great point. Another one is that even if you could produce all the parts on your own, you were not allowed to, because it would make you individual, independant - anti-Communist. For example, while in SU Ukraine's tank factory used to produce tanks without barrels; they were exported from Russia. Is there a logic, except to make sure that in case of anything it would take some time to produce tanks on its own or always keep track on functional tanks in a neighboring republic by counting how much barrels you sent those under your control?
There were, but not on such a scale.
Yep. And in some cases they are now creating "democracy" for us too.
We were always materialistic, it's just we had no materials!!!
Nicely put. So true.
It can also be argued that there is a correctness in two parties
At least there is a balance, a chance of having a bit less idiots on one side to choose from. In one party system there is no natural selection.
They were painted black and sold off.

and if there basicly was no thing like economy or money and everybody settled for basic needs
Isn't it a hardcore statement of Communism: from anyone by his abilities and to anyone according to his needs? This is even against physics!
To make product "A" you need the subparts "B" and "C". What if your country don't have or can't make "B"? You must get it from someone else, import/export.

I agree, life in a community demands giving up certain powers which we feel to be entitled to. But it is a general will to give up a bit of one's unrestrained power in order to not suffer later from someone who is more powerful than us. I consider it beneficial. Don't you?
This is the way it goes. Someone has to be at the top. Look in the nature - not a single society lives otherwise (as far as I know). But the major point is the law, which was non-existant for the Communist party members (except, small fry) and the choice which I think makes one a human was absent in the Communism. As Lenin said: one is a nut or a screw in a general mechanism. The Communists proved it - people were nothing, but replaceable screws. And again it is not about cars - if one earned it and drives it - everyone may as well be happy for him. The worst is when you see the worthless scum on the post-communist horizon driving on stolen money while some others haven't got their salary for a few months.
Some of us are kept on longer ,thinner leashes but there is always someone willing to yank on them if we step beyond what is "acceptable" in whatever sociaty we find ourselves.

It will fail anywhere and only by force can be kept alive, because one of the main premises of its existance is elimination of private property. No human will ever care about something not his more than about his/her own. Another thing is "correctness" of one party, one policy written by some drunkard in 1848 who was neither economist, nor a person who adheres to what he writes about. Also, there is no sex in Communism ;) and you HAVE to believe that a leader in some remote Russian (sorry for my bias) village is thinking how to make your life better, day and night. He might even not eat just to make sure that everything is Ok at your crammed apartment. You simply have to BELIEVE, reality doesn't matter - it is a lie anyway.

Hi there, everyone. Poland has 7 land-bound neighbors: Germany, the Czech republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belorus, Lithuania and Russian Federation. I just have a question in regards to what countries Polish people think are their optimal neighbors, if any, and reasons why or why not and also if it was possible to move countries over (replace the current ones), if any, which would be the best for Poland and in what way. There is also a possibility of moving the neighbors around :) - sometimes it is not as much their presence as location that play a role.

News / Composer Henryk Gorecki has died. [28]
Great point, Trevek. My take on it is that if someone is considered a genius and then he is forgotten then there was no much to his/her geniusness. Many geniuses died without even been noticed and we don't know them today, because we didn't know them when they were alive. But they are not forgotten, because they were not known in the first place. But one can also say that consideration of genius fades with time as we know more and more and the genius of the previous century seems to know what a first-grader today does. And people rarely appreciate that what a genius did in his time was an unbelievable achievement. I found two beautiful phrases on genius in Wiki:
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see". (A. Schopenhauer)
"Great men, like great epochs, are explosive material in whom tremendous energy has been accumulated; their prerequisite has always been, historically and physiologically, that a protracted assembling, accumulating, economizing and preserving has preceded them - that there has been no explosion for a long time." (F. Nitsche)

We have one underground river called Poltwa, so it has no bridges over it ;) But if you mean the ones over the dry land, I guess most of them were built by Ukrainians, unless Poles managed in the interbellum to build something while burning libraries and churches.
Any link to your phantasy? ;) Somehow, I can't find it in any language.
Thanks, you were good boys. You see, Sokrates, when you serve properly I respect that. Yes, a few cobblestone streets built during Austro-Hungary were uncovered recently from Communist epoch's asphalt and it looks beautiful. I like when a horse knocks with its hooves on the cobblestone, it reminds me of your servitude, Sokrates, and I have a warm feeling towards you, thing so rare in my heart. You should be grateful for that.
What university? Lviv has 10 universities. Anyhow, none of them was built by Poles.
In the interbellum that was the case, which meant that sooner or later you have to be kicked out. The justice was served and now there are lectures in Ukrainian, English and either French or German if I am not mistaken. Feels great. Hope to see you in Lviv in 2012.

How is this different from using them as firecrackers? Simply you used them in the field and Portuguese - in the cities. 20 years? ;) Haha. You see, Polish realized they can't scare enemies by firecrackers. I just wonder why it took so much time? ;)
Be kind to check it exactly. You are an expert of military stuff, so it would be nice to know for sure when you argue about this grand Polish achievement of using firecrackers in the field.
Lviv train station was founded in 1861
Lviv train station facade and main structure was built between 1899-1904
Lviv Opera House opened in 1900, built in Austria and brought over piece-wise.
Lviv University of Ivan Franko was stipulated as one of the conditions of the Hadiach Treaty and was to be Ukrainian.
Lviv from 1772 till 1918 was part of Austrian-Hungarian empire and during this period appeared this architecture. Poland as such haven't existed at that time.
Latin Cathedral is still in Lviv and is one of my favorite anal structures. As you might notice it was never burnt by Ukrainians as compared to hundreds of churches Polish invaders destroyed in Ukraine and so many important historical monuments disappeared forever.
My point is that destruction is your main achievement here. You succeded.
Never produced a combat rocket, they did produce firecrackers for celebrations
rockets werent exactly accurate at the time which is why Poland dropped them after about two decades of use
How is this different from using them as firecrackers? Simply you used them in the field and Portuguese - in the cities. 20 years? ;) Haha. You see, Polish realized they can't scare enemies by firecrackers. I just wonder why it took so much time? ;)
At Orsza, i'd have to check out exactly but XV century
Be kind to check it exactly. You are an expert of military stuff, so it would be nice to know for sure when you argue about this grand Polish achievement of using firecrackers in the field.
ukrainian city
Lviv train station was founded in 1861
Lviv train station facade and main structure was built between 1899-1904
Lviv Opera House opened in 1900, built in Austria and brought over piece-wise.
Lviv University of Ivan Franko was stipulated as one of the conditions of the Hadiach Treaty and was to be Ukrainian.

History / Lwów, Wilno ... kresy - Poland have lost enormoust part of our heritage... [389]
So, what Portuguese engineers were doing with that knowledge? Just kept it and never produced a rocket to fire waiting for Polish ambassador? ;) Or you would say that the Portuguese are not Europeans? What year Polish used their first rocket, which was before the rest of Europe did?
If you mean Lviv, this is exactly what I said.
portugese engineers who passed their knowledge to their polish counterparts in Kraków.

So you're saying we did not build 90% of Lwóws historical and utility sites?
If you mean Lviv, this is exactly what I said.

Where have I said that or that we are anyhow more culturally developed than any other nation?
Well, if you already made your name in Poland by claiming Kopernickus and Mickiewickus as Polish, then yes, try it. Anyhow, they won't grant you this ever - you are too funny :)
kicked ass of Alexander of Macedonia!

I could become a famous and cherish historian if I declared myself an Ukrainian
