GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE!

What an argument...his real family name was Kopperlingk, he latinized his name later to Kopernikus as it was custom at that time...the Poles made it to Kopernik...

So who cares if you can find Koperniks in Poland?

You repeat your arguments to have last word in discussion. You don't change sources. Actualy we have seen different arguments about name. You give quotation form no where.

Well...since you steadily ignore them I have to hammer them into you.
You ignore his german family, his german mother, his german mother tongue, even that he described himself as german and signed his manuscripts that way.

The only argument going for you (or so you think) is his political allegiance as he supported Poland against the Teutonic Order...but sorry...that doesn't make him polish!

So yes, it seems I have to repeat the facts again and again...

An objective gathering of known facts about this discussion, the best and most comprehensive source so far.

I especially like the conclusion:


I'm all for sharing him, but I won't stand by idle when Poles claims him solely for themselves!

If we look on this issue form your prespective. You should be ready for debates about famous "Germans" with "Polish" roots.

Let me guess...Podolski! :):):)

Kopernik was black.

She was not black!

GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)!!!

It's OK...Here's what we do:



JOHANN SEBASTIEN BACHOWSKI

You're obsessed - but that's just me. Haven't seen you in ages Harry -good to see you back!

eh, if it is just Kopernik

If Germany return all what took from Slavs, there won`t be Germany.... ah, yes... if its just Germany that took something from Slavs...

How about Serbia returns everything it took from the Neanderthals? Oh, sorry, my mistake: Serbs are Neanderthals.

WHO THE F*** CARES??????

You Europeans are so laughable it isn't even funny.

True.No black president in Europe.

How many years has been since your country let those lovely coloured folk ride on the bus at the front? Weren't mixed raced marriages illegal? Think before you throw stones!

By the way "hatefulbunch of what - Bananas?

HB wouldn't know anything about that, he's been short bus material since birth.


Those laws were enforced in the USA until 1967 and still existed until 2000.

i had horrible day on the job, realy horrible... it was in case with some delivery... 10 tons of expensive stuff (realy expensive).... others mistaken but, i had to fix it.... so i fixed it... it was heart attack situation.... now is fine :)

and now, instead of my doze of relaxation here, what i get... i get Harry

what to tell to Harry.... let`s bla bla a little...


what`s wrong with Neanderthals? They are first known Whites... is it maybe problem for you?

OMG I cannot believe you Euros!! Has their been racial tensions in the US???? In the past???? YES! Do people react the same as the people on this forum, for the most part? NO.

I certainly hope you guys do not represent Europeans because if you do, it's a real shame!
Even if you don't, it's still a shame because some who might not know better would read this craziness and think you do.

Most people in the US don't obsess on every little thing, every minute difference. True, there are bigots in the US. But not this extreme.

You Euros are way too extreme about this sort of thing. Seriously. Get over yourselves!

Somebody tries to unify Europeanens on this forum ? :)

...from Neander Thal in Germany! :)
Or else they would be called "Neanderthalskies" :):):)

You probably upset them, so now they're getting revenge


aah, so that's what's wrong......they're Germanized

BB is presenting typical Germanic approach to this issue: "He was German ! Didn't even know Polish ! etc." and next "maybe we could share him ?". If the guy really was German, be sure that they wouldn't like to share with us even his shi*ted pants.

Well...he WAS german and I try to compromise with you and even want to share him for the sake of peace AND to acknowledge the huge part of overlapping of our both cultures and between our people over the centuries.

The polish approach is to claim him totally even as he wasn't polish!

Sorry...all my fault! :(

FRAU MERKELOWSKA

Not Merkelski???

:)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Merkel

"Angela Merkel was born as Angela Dorothea Kasner in Hamburg, as the daughter of Horst Kasner (b. 6 August 1926 in Berlin-Pankow), a Lutheran pastor and his wife, Herlind (b. 8 July 1928 in Elbing as Herlind Jentzsch), a teacher of English and Latin. Her mother is a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. Her grandparents on her mother's side lived in Elbing in East Prussia; one of them had Polish origin. She has a brother, Marcus (born 7 July 1957), and a sister, Irene (b. 19 August 1964)."

You wanna claim her too??? :):):)

Wouldn't it be cool? Poland AND Germany ruled by Merkelski???

Scratch a German and you will find a Pole.

I don't want her. She is German.

So...you mean the genocidal mass murderer of the last century where deep down true Poles?


How come you are not claiming her?

In his book “De revolutionibus” his signature is in Latin. Next to his name is inscription of “Torinensis” meaning (Toruńczyk) from Toruń. This is how he described himself and how he has signed his name on all official documents. In his time the nationality was not as important as being a subject of a sovereign in his case a King of Poland where he had proved is loyalty by serving as a defender of Olsztyn Castle against Teutonic Knights. Besides when Prussians have erected a monument in his honor in 1853 the Latin inscription states the following “Nicolaus Copernicus Thorunensis, Terrae motor, Solis Caelique stator" keyword there is “Thorunesis” not “German” just like he used to describe himself. So let’s make it a Toruńczyk, how’s this for compromise BB.


Now you are asking for too much.
