History / Poles the biggest hypocrites in the world [35]

You're making an argument for an argument sake, catch some waves, life's too short for you to debate this topic. Enjoy life and hope that sharia low is not implemented where you live. Surfing might be outlawed.

History / Poles the biggest hypocrites in the world [35]

I'm not, a cousin ten times removed living on the west cost of the US simply has no idea of the problem at hand, neither will he ever have to live in the aftermath of the policies adapted by prevailing side. No matter what side of the issue he's debating he will never have to face the consequence of his action. I on the other hand will have to live in that reality created by delusional mind, therefore I make my voice heard before it's too late.

@TheOther

You as in west Germans on whose behalf you spoke, besides if you're a yank you should stay out of the European affairs. This debate is none of your business .

History / Poles the biggest hypocrites in the world [35]

You know why, look at his statement. They can't take criticism nor the responsibility for their own or their leaders, parents, grandparents action, they suspect that Serbians won't be quiet on most of the issues, rightly so. Its the Nazis and Polish concentration camps - Germans its that simple, not some Nazis nor Polish concentratin camps. EU will split on the migrant's issue just like Roman E. I'm sure Serbia will join big Bizantium, Miedzymorze. That is.

Lol

You're trying to hard to forget the past, what's the matter, ashamed. When it came to settle the bill for the Greek party which lasted a couple of decades germany said hell no but now you expect every one else to chip in for the guests you invited in and to adopt them. Perhaps you don't want to move east but sure as hell you want to send your adapted children there, same **** if you ask me.

@theother

Don't kid yourself, its still happening today. who is really running the EU, the policies in general, who's economic interests do they serve. New markets for Germany were always in the east. don't forget the forced resettlement of the so called German guests by any means necessary which Brussels is threatening other members of the union with. Once again Brussels represents who, like it or not but all those things serve German interests only. Only thing that changed is the name of the policy as the old one is outdated, hearing it leaves a bitter taste but the aim of the German policy remained constant, same as in the 30s.

History / Why Cross of Valour with 2 bars was awarded to my father (Miszczyk / Bradley)? [5]


The two bars on the ribbon indicate the number of times he received this award, taking the original Cross of Velour into account he received this awarded three times which this list of recipients seem to confirm. You will find his name as well as his rank on this list. Pg.276

Genealogy / Jan Kyć from Adamówka, Poland - Military Document Information [14]


It's a train boarding pass for disabled war veterans.


none whatsoever.

Language / Correct spelling of surname pronounced Can-your-chef-ski? [8]


Sorry to burst your bubble but Kanjorszewski does not sound natural to a native and a bit strange if you ask me. Even if one never came across a given surname before this one will always be a suspect to a native speaker as made up, there's no root word in it to associate with.


This statement speaks volume as to your intention, as for the punch-line I don't know about his skiing ability but my chef-can't-cook-for-sh*t.

PS. Your formula will not work in Polish no matter how much you insist.

Language / Correct spelling of surname pronounced Can-your-chef-ski? [8]


Perhaps it's (Koniuszewski) but the pronunciation would be con-you-chef-ski, where con is pronounced like in the word contradict and no r.


I was thinking the same.

Love / Why are Polish girls so attracted to German boys? [52]

You mean asylums, like in Turks, as they say the beauty is in the eye of a beholder. No need to take offence if you can't recognize sarcasm, this obviously is a baiting thread posted by one of your own I presume.

Love / Why are Polish girls so attracted to German boys? [52]


Perhaps German men are like Polish men both are not willing to date ugly German girls, can't say that I blame them.

USA, Canada / Bilateral Visa Waiver Agreement between USA and Poland [47]


Who shads crocodile tears or not for that matter is irrelevant, it's the principal that counts.


You missed it by a long shot, the point is that if a block like EU can't have a universal policy that applies equally to all member states when dealing with US or any other state on any matter than it undermines their strength both internally and externally in negotiating for the block as a whole. Such organization is just a one big joke for each and every state has their own bilateral agreements that they will adhere to anyway rendering EU irrelevant in the process. Not that I ever was a big fan of the EU in the first place but it sure makes it seem like a weak entity that's not fully recognized by any outside state which reserves the right of having a bilateral agreement with each and every state within its borders. It (the EU that is) look like a wimp with no real legitimacy or authority behind it on international arena.

Language / Polish Proficiency Test? [9]


Don't give up so easily. They conduct an oral interview with candidates, perhaps taking a course before the next exam which is usually held in October would qualify you provided your Polish is good enough, so why not giving them a call? See what they say. Perhaps they will suggest something that might suit your situation better, time is getting short for you. You have to knock on every door available to you if you want to achieve your goals.

Promise? LOL
The only solution to this is as stated by Amorbitpole. Tit for tat diplomacy always works the best.

Language / Polish Proficiency Test? [9]

Polish Supplementary School Council of America based in NY administers Regents exam of Polish as a foreign language approved by the Centre for East European Studies at Columbia University. RU is one of the places where you can take this exam. Their policy for the candidates is rather strict, you must be an American high school student and provide proof that you have been learning Polish language other than home environment for a substantial period of time or have completed at least primary education in Poland. Even if you do not qualify to take this exam I'm sure they would provide some kind of guidance. Good luck.

Life / Christmas carol singers - is this a Polish Christmas tradition? [13]


Another dumb comment made by a Yank. Don't kid yourself KKK is a hate group of Anglo-Saxon blood at least that's what those southern mutts claim, in order to be one you have to be a WASP, fat chance of that in a Slavic and Catholic country. One has to know what P stands for in WASP to grasp the meaning hence the dumb reference on my part. If by "pikey" you mean a gypsy you're also wrong. Your ignorant statement speaks volumes, face it you're just a grumpy cheap bastard with no respect for other cultures or traditions.

News / British teacher stabbed in Poland [116]

Get your facts straight, all articles state the same, they decided to party on a stairwell of the wrong building where the thugs lived not their own apartment. Unprovoked? My arse, Burst in? My arse.

Now the prosecutor is seeking witnesses to support the thesis of how two thugs attacked five slightly drunk, perhaps drugged and rowdy but otherwise polite and innocent people who decided to have a party on a stairwell of an apartment building they do not live in.

No one likes people who make noise on the stairwell of the building even more so if they themselves do not live there. Disliking does not give reason for beating or killing but unfortunately that's how it all ended in an altercation on the street after they've been told to get out and simply moved the party in front of the building. Somehow it's hard to believe they themselves are innocent in all of that and got their arse kicked just for the hell of it.

If you are looking for trouble you'll find it.

Language / How can I perfect my Polish grammar? [10]

Your grandparents' saga was perhaps typical to the Polish Jews living in shtetl, closed off from the rest of the polish society by their own choice, speaking their own language instead of the country they lived in very much so like Amish communities in US, together but separate. Struggling with polish language is really no surprise there. Look at a thread "polish ww11 era letters can't read" and other like that, where the poor farmers somehow managed to whip up a pretty long correspondence to communicate with their illiterate relatives in US. That alone should perhaps make you rethink you theory. Looking through Ellis Island records one does not find X in place where the signature should be either.

Language / How can I perfect my Polish grammar? [10]


Just tell me, when was the last time you came across an illiterate immigrant? Your grandparents story touching as it is, does not reflect the reality of the world now and not even back then. Your stereotypical immigrant from Poland was not poor but immigrated for political reasons. In the past 20 or so years an average immigrant even though looking for a job is still more likely to have more education under his belt then you. Lacking the language of the country one immigrates to does not make him/her illiterate.

Language / How can I perfect my Polish grammar? [10]

Wow! What a load of old bollocks, pure nonsense. Illiterate immigrants - indeed.
Are Yanks so far up their own arse they won't even bother to think before putting something like this in writing? After all it just shows your own ignorance of the world around you. Time to wake up and smell the coffee.

Language / Please help me understand Polish adverbs [30]


Here the dog is performing two different tasks (wącha - just sniffing around, węszy - he's tracking). Word to the wise, when you're talking about a person performing the very same task, wąchać is fine as he's just inhaling some kind of aroma but if you say węszy you give it a whole new meaning, at this point he/she is snooping.


Czuje się zapach po burzy, siana, świeżego prania, chleba a nawet psia kupe skoro mowa o psach. LOL

Language / Please help me understand Polish adverbs [30]


That's because spoken language expresses feelings as well, in this example think of it in terms of having reservation, indifference or reluctance of doing something that's when you'll use "dobra" instead of making a definite statement "dobrze". In English you often do that by inclination ie. "OK OK I'll do it" (reluctant) vs."Ok, I'll do it" (definite). In Polish besides the inclination it takes on a different form as well, "dobra dobra, zrobi się" (I'll get around to it) vs. "dobrze, zrobione" (consider it done).


Nothing sad about it, your intuition and observation is on the money, you pretty much answered your own question.

News / Poland to sign FATCA, USA will get information about bank accounts [67]

Your statement is true however I was talking about Poland doing a tit for tat diplomacy here and perhaps make a few hundred bucks on every Yank that's rejected.

News / Poland to sign FATCA, USA will get information about bank accounts [67]


BS. VWP rejection threshold is set at 3% not 10. Poland has been under 10% for a while now, besides the rejection rate based on a potential of an applicant to overstay his/her welcome is highly subjective, based solely on an intuitive judgments of US embassy and consulate personnel. Time to take a closer look at 1991 Polish law made in haste dealing with US visitors to Poland and perhaps overturn it like Brazil did few years earlier.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]


Ah! The words of a closet nazi himself with crowd control tactics strait out of their play book or perhaps a deep rooted communist traditions are bleeding through. Your paranoia and insecurity of opposing political view to your own makes you the same entity no matter what facade you put on the outside to disguise that fact.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]


And the forth was taken in 2007 regurgitated by the press time and time again, btw wrong city and it was met with counter demonstrations, pictures were not posted here for obvious reason, it would diminish the point they try to make.
