GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE!

whatever

But, what does it matter when it comes to his name?

you can like me or not but, to be civil, you have to respect my name


and so, let us in advance annul his Polish ethnicity. To prevent evil

;)

that Harryman realy hate Poles

What does it matter if Copernicus was born in Polish Empire?? Poland was ethnic mix.

Tesla`s mother and father were ethnic Germans. His uncle was a German Prince-Bishop from long line of Germans. Copernicus was baptized under name Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicu considered himself German (based on the choice he made while studying at university).

Well, at least you didn't say some joke like "living in America he'd have no choice but to work around fat people".. or some snide bullsh.t I usually get on this site. Mostly from that pissbrain Torq.

How do you know?Did you ask him?

i don`t have time to that type of jokes

my mind functioning on different scale, eventualy

I hear ya man.

people, stop investigate and found name under which he was baptized. Consult Catholic Church data in place where he was born

then, if answer is Kopernik and if he during his life didn`t refuse to be Polish Kopernik and didn`t become something else, he must stay Kopernik. It even isn`t for discussion

He signed his name Coppernic. Copernicus is the Latinized version of the name.


Fortunately my girlfriend has never been raped.

first- Coppernic is different from Copernicus.

Then, our signature telling not only how we want to write and pronounce our name but also, how we understand that it is most convinient for our name to be written, how would other people easiest understand our name.

example

i using Latin and Cirilic alphabet, as all Balkan Serbs. If i travel to Poland i using my Latin version of signature. In Russia, i using Cirilic version. I personaly feel same pasion for my Latin and Cirilic versions of signatures. Most convinient for me is to use some simbols of my family clan for my signature but use of simbols isn`t that usual in signatures.

Now, can you judge about my ethnicity on the base of my signature? I can understand Kopernik if he used Coppernic for signature.


stop watch BBC and CNN, while it isn`t too late. It can damage your brain

Not with me, no. Gay bars and practices are not my scene :) Was Copernicus gay? ;)

Harry, you had it coming. You can't talk so loosely about raping and pillaging.

it was BBC`s and CNN`s echoes in his head

just one more victim of EU and NATO that harryman, poor creature

Thats the same really, Coppernic has a Silesian etymology, later he changed it to Copernicus as did virtually all academics back then.


Crow there's nothing to judge, Kopernik had a German mother and a Polish father, the point of fact is however that he studied in a Polish university, got into astronomy because of his Polish professors and fought against Germany for the Polish king.

Personally i'd be satisfied with defining Kopernik as a Polish-German subject of the Polish king (a very loyal one to boot) but i dont trust Germans not to try and fully Germanize him like they did to so many Polish facts and locations, old Polish cities of Gdańsk and Poznań suddenly magically changed into Posen or Danzig so i prefer to stick to the slightly inacurate claim that he was Polish by simple fact that he himself chose the side of Poland when he lived.

That's ridiculous, everyone was baptized in Latin during those years, so under your theory every person from that era should go by the Latin name.

Can anyone, please, give me a list of things person got to have to belong to one or the other nationality? Greatly appreciated.

during those years? Now you telling me that

this topic starting to upset me

Listen people. Kopernik was Polish and that`s how it is

Just one thing; the person who chooses to fight for one country while opposing another belongs to the former.

Which is why the only succesfull Ukrainian commander in history - Chmielnicki (probably an ethnic Pole) is considered Ukrainian today regardless of his ethnicity :))))

(Dont be bitter Nathan)

Erm...adhering to the Treaty I'm not commenting anything...just posting a link!

....still not saying anything!

Although I have not signed that treaty I will also adhere to it. All I have to say is selective reading on your part BB.

Do you think that support of one nation against the other gives you an ethnicity? What about mercenaries or people having kids and themselves living in a foreign country, probably working and doing well, who fight to protect their kids and own well-being? Let say I live in Taiwan and fight China trying to suppress freedom of "my island". Does it make me Taiwanese? Because this is how you are called if you considered of that ethnicity. Of course, not. Ethnicity is much deeper than that, something you cannot choose. What about the Habsburg empire and many nations fighting on its side against other empires? Does it make everyone "habsburgian" or "austro-hungarian"?

Again my question remains open: "What makes you to be of a certain nationality?"

No but it sure as hell indicates your sympathies, at best Kopernik was part Polish at worst a polonized German loyal to Poland, for political reasons we should officially stick to him being fully Polish and ignore his mother and uncle but in all honesty his ethnicity will always be arguable.

At least they don't want to polonize Hitler.

Where is this Rychlik guy anyhow?


Wrong direction as Hitler wasn't an Ossi like Coppi but an Austrian....the Hungarians could have a go this time!

*runs*

In Berlin ?

Nice.

Copernicus was an ethnic German with Polish loyalties.
Why not be HAPPY about that?

I don't get why all the fuss.
Get a life people.

its clear

Germans as ethos are in general germanized Slavs. Somebody should tell to Germans that there is sense to claim that Kopernik was a German. Absolutely idiotic

Hmmm....how come the different haplogroups then?

And who did all this "germanizing" then in the first place if there weren't any Germans to begin with? :)

I was wondering that. If Germans aren't Germans, who Germanized them? If they were Germans, then they must have been Slavs, so why are Slavs Germanizing themselves? Or if it was someone else and they are Germans and not germanised slavs, they can't be Germans, because if they were they would be Slavs not Germans, if so what are they now if they are not Germans anymore and who deGermanised them?

*I'm off to take a long lie down*

Not at all! Kopernik was 100% Polish.

Unfortunately, we are talking about a man named Nicolaus Copernic who later started to use the name Copernicus. Whoever Mikołaj Kopernik was, he was not the first astronomer to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology.


No, you mean that Germans are humanised proto-Slavs. Proto-slavs are commonly referred to as Neanderthal man. Germans are descended from the successful interbreeding of Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens (i.e. Homo Sapiens Sapiens). The unsuccessful

offspring of the breedins still exist today: they are called Serbs.
