Love / Polish woman and black/mixed-race guy...... [49]

We don't know whether OP is a black gay, purple dude or a very intelligent chimpanzee - at the end of the day it is only anonymous moniker on computer screen. :)

Most posters here were bashing him not for being black but for being sex tourist or rather for his care free attitude and expectations presented here.

The problem is that it's two black guys, if they were white, the men would be doing the old 'get in there mate' routine!

I don't think so, I would say that you are using them being black as an excuse and reason for a preferential treatment. I think that is very patronizing on your part.

As for motives of male posters here: It is only your guess, not fact.

Well

Well you scored some points here but still it is debate about Poland's rights, nothing less and nothing more.

Far from it, you called a polymath, multi lingual near genius an "Idiot",

What you call ego-maniac who depleted mountains of gold hoarded by his father on his hut for fame and glory?
There is more but I'm not going to waste my typing power on some bigoted semi-educated dude talking bollox. Yes, you know the details but you are missing the point big time, and your understanding of the way things are connected is no existent..

FYI, it was not Henry who saw off the Armada it was one of his Daughters,Good Queen Bess, Liz

I know that, What if on the throne was his first daughter kin of Spanish King? No Armada.
Firstly it was daughter not a son so his divorce was waste of time (yeah I know about E). Second he aliened England from Spain and most Kingdoms of Christendom.If not for him going for monies and the Church lands that wouldn't have happened.

All his greatness is just confabulation made up by the Protestant clique who grabbed lands and power in England - thanks to him..
As for Armada -Now that was a lucky escape due to the element.

Why I'm calling you semi-educated? It is not malicious but for a guy who knows all that details you are unable to draw conclusions and learn form them, it seems as if all those details were just reinforcing the most bizarre prejudices and preconceptions.

I don't care about all that but your claim that Protestantism is/was recipe for wealth and prosperity is just unsubstantial BS.

History / Ukrainian-occupied Eastern Poland [135]

ronside, have you thought about the practicalities of restoring the old political boundaries? What would you do with the resident Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian populations? Would you deport them à la Stalin? Would you allow them to stay and potentially rebel?

So far I'm debating Poland's rights,which she may or may not assert.

What benefits would that bring to Poland?

I think that is a very good thread topic!

Ruthenians are non-Russian Eastern Slavs who frequently identify as Ukrainian. What point are you trying to make?

I'm only pointing out that by equaling Ruthenians with Ukrainians you are distorting reality.

I was thinking that, lol.

Let stick to the topic please! If you want debate about ridiculousness of any territorial claims or something else you can make a thread and do it to your heart content.

since Britan gained its freedom from Rome did it do poorly or rise to rule most of the world?

you are missing the point as usual.
He wasn't able to predict the future.He had his own very simple, personal and very stupid reasons.
Are you claiming that he had been able to predict the element that wiped out Spanish Armada. If not for that England would have been outhouse of Spain.Courtesy of your beloved Henry.

Anyway it has nothing to do with wealth.

Bless you though,showing such concern for our souls,its really rather christian of you

Unfortunately I'm not very Christian - I don't care much about souls of fools-unless they are ready to listen to a reason.

History / Ukrainian-occupied Eastern Poland [135]

the lands Poland has the right to in your view

That one is simple - border before WWII!

So Germany has legitimate claims to her lost territory in the east as well then?

Nope, I'm explaining to you and explaining to you and you just refuse to listen. Ever heard about unconditional surrender? Do you understand implications of that act? legitimate implications!

All those talks about territorial claims is intentional provocation to spark an ethnical conflict.

Do you think that anonymous debate about that on the internet is able to spark any conflict in the real world? If so there is no much to build upon in the first place.

no obvious reason for territorial disputes

Why? Do you think that Poles should forget about their terrorizes and say - be my guest and keep it! You shoudl return those lands right after 1991 as the Stalin's gift - as they are mostly poisonous!

`We need Ukraine without Ukrainians or with Ukrainians as our slaves`

Who made such a claim?Anyway it is the Internet you can find anything here.So what?

No. What I'm saying is that throughout its entire history, the inhabitants of Lvov and surrounding areas have been both Polish and Ukrainian.

Nope - has been Polish and Ruthenian and that is different kettle of fish!

I am prepared to accept the status quo

Well good for you. As I said you are entitled to your opinion. However your reasoning do not convince me at all.

I want to know what YOU considering to be Polish land in Ukraine.

Well, you would have to be very precise in formulating your questions.
Do you mean Polish lands, the lands Poland has the right to, historically Polish lands which could be counted in or out depending on circumscribes.

I too am prepared to accept the status quo, in recognition of the fact that significant numbers of Ukrainians have also historically inhabited Lvov and the surrounding areas.

So what?
You mean if Jews would like to claim Lodz as their land, you would say eh take it.

where a valid marriage has taken place would amount to sanctioning adultery, and the cleric responsible would be considered to have commited a grave error, and the annulment would itself be invalid.

Not to mention that that idiot wanted divorce sister if the most powerful country at the time - Spain! Also he already has a daughter and after all his going about finally daughter succeeded him on the throne.

You would claim entire Ukraine if you could?! And were would you want to put Ukrainians?

Do you really want to debate?
I wouldn't have claimed entire Ukraine, only those territories that rightfully should belong to Poland.

History / Ukrainian-occupied Eastern Poland [135]

Well,in any case, are you seriously want to claim some city

I'm not in position to claim the city.

?And which parts of Ukraine are you going to
claim beside Lviv?

Hypothetically speaking if I would have been in position to claim anything, I would.
So far I'm just providing my opinion on the issue.
I'm saying that by right said city should belong to Poland.

But my position as a fairly patriotic Pole is that I am quite happy for Lvov to remain Ukrainian, I hope the Ukrainians take care of it and that Ukrainian culture and language continues to flourish within it.

You are of course entitled to your opinion.

So what was after Middle Ages?

Ever heard about Burgundy?

Since 1772 Lwow was Polish for 21 years only: 1920-1939.

And not once before 1991 Lwów belonged to Ukraine. So what is about those dates, you are bragging or crying?

Not even absolute majority.

As if Rusini have been ever majority there before 1944!

History / Ukrainian-occupied Eastern Poland [135]

Lwów/Lviv was a culturally important Polish city before the war, but even though the city's population was mostly Polish-speaking, that of the surrounding rural regions was predominantly Ukrainian.

Not really - mixed.Like a layer cake.

uring the wars over the succession of Galicia-Volhynia Principality in 1339 King Casimir III of Poland undertook an expedition and conquered Lviv in 1340, burning down the old princely castle.[10] Poland ultimately gained control over Lviv and the adjacent region in 1349. From then on the population was subjected to attempts to both Polonize and Catholicize the population.[17]

What a BS! Anyway who cares IT WAS MIDDLE AGED HISTORY!
Sure that Lwów should belong to Poland.

France Joseph wore Ukrainian national shirt under his cloth according to some sorces

According to others sources he was wearing Ukrainian pants and while in the outhouse he used to sing Ukrainian song.

All I'm saying is that Lvov can neither be regarded as a solely Polish, nor Ukrainian city historically.

Surely can be regarded as historically Polish city.

So the Polish state can confiscate Church property, and then instead of giving it back, it just throws a tantrum, says, "Waaaah! The Church is greedy!" and keeps it for itself? Fine, but I don't think that's fair.

+1

the only thing I can say is wrong in Poland regarding the church is teaching religion lessons in public schools

Re3feredum and majority will decide!

the church costs the state only around one billion a year

You can have-it and like it or you can have gays awareness courses.

Instead of the State sacrificing its national culture for the sake of trying to be religiously neutral, I propose that its job should instead be to ensure freedom of religion by refraining from using its coercive power to suppress religion.

It is mindboggling that the prime minister of a country can act in a manner so contrary to its national interests

Yes it is.
Yet as long as people are being fed distorted information there is no chance to vote that persona and his cronies from power.

Plenty, it is enough to follow Polish politics regularly.

So why the hell foreigners look on Poles as if they were a back water who have no idea about the world?

Some foreigners and the answer is simple there are people are there are dicks!

History / Was Prussia mostly German? [65]

u could say the same about the Germans dealing with their version of history, or the Brits dealing with theirs. There are always different points of view when it comes to certain historic events, and the Polish one is no better or more objective than any others'.

You would need to know more about the Polish historical works to be able to judge.

First of all I was talking about professionals and their works. Secondly not every teacher was commie or ex-commie, Thirdly history for children is simplified in every country that do have history lessons.

What I mean you are unable to read Polish. If you are able you should do your own research.
