it seems that polish don't like parade.
My friends,which are polish friends said that is a waste of money.

Ask your Polish friends if they like May Day parades? First, ask them if they know what it is. Then, ask them if they felt their time in the army was a waste of money? I bet they felt it is not cool to be in the army and there are braver people than they who should defend them. Your two Polish friends are not the Polish people.

When you are old enough and apply yourself, you will have a subject at school callled Probability and Statistics; you will understand then.

wow,i hope so.
But i guess I would not.Because I'm not polish.Every year here in Poland I attain almost every polish parade.
If it is corret,I found that generally young people is not the majority.Old people much more than the people between 22-30,what's more,the number of parents with children is also much more larger than teenagers.Maybe not precisely,because this is accounted by me and my friends.

When I first talked to my polish friends about parade in poland,I was also shcoked,but than I found dozen of them said so,not just two,i didn't say tow of them.I've to confess they are polish,i do hope they are not,cuz i really appreciate polish's brave and spirit and passion for their country during ww1,2,even though after ww2 against russia,because at that time we,chinese,the patriotism could not compete with Polish's.

While as a Chinese,I mean the whole nations,now are willing to have magnificent parade every year,this is not show off,this is not building GDP,this is not learning France,etc.We need to tell the rest of the world,even tough all countries on this planet go against us,we will defend our state to the end.

And did they invite the British to their parade?

:-)))

Not after WW2 as they were commmies lol
and to the pre WW2 not likely either as Poland and Great Britain had animosity in stuff like sending Jews to Israel or creating a Jewish state (Polish nationalists helped to train&equip Jewish Zionists so that they could be shipped to Palestine)

nd other stuff too

Although in parades after 1989 I can't remember any Britts taking part of them. Weird enough Germans did :o

After 4:30 there is a French Foreign Legion (don't know if it's Polish members or sent to represent France) + a German contingent ( a clear shock of Germans wanting to participate in a POLISH parade :)) + Lithuanian contingent + Slovakian contingent + an Ukrainian at the end

One of major military parades took place in 1966 when the Millenium of the Polish state was celebrated.

It was a spectacular event with a lot of soldiers and equipment taking place. Re-enactment groups presenting main periods of Polish military history also marched (and rode).

Really?
Please share.

I already did.


Can you imagine there were three LGBT parades in Warsaw this year???
Can you guess why???

I took part in that. They're always nice events and great fun.


Why? I noticed two rather than the usual one but sadly couldn't attend.

A few LGBT organisations are at odds with each other.
Not one, but three Equality Parades took place in the capital this year. In the times of PiS, the LGBT+ community was pushing the trolley in one direction. When their demands finally have a chance to be implemented, a dispute broke out over who should lead.

Less than a month has passed since Donald Tusk's government was sworn in, and dark clouds have already hung over the rainbow holiday. In January, the founders of the Equality Volunteers, responsible for organizing the march, dismissed Julia Maciocha as president and appointed the widely unknown Rafał Dembe in her place. Sensing what was about to happen, the activist took over the Parade's social media in advance and handed over its website to the Basta Foundation, which was founded by Bart Staszewski (author of the famous performance about "LGBT+ free zones") to monitor the media for hate speech.

As soon as the activist found herself ousted, her former team unanimously declared that they would not subordinate themselves to the new management. Then they started ranting on social media about a "hostile takeover", accusing the founders of a "lack of vision" and accusing Dembe of having little organizational experience. The career of the new president in one of the banks was also fondly emphasized, spinning a narrative about "parada being taken over by big business."

LGBT: I am sick and I don't reproduce...

And we thank you for it. When you finally figure out why you are proud please let someone who gives a fvck know right away.

No surprises.

Anyway, the more the merrier.


It changes it, and not always for the better, but no bad thing to see advertisers and big companies finally recognising the buying power of the demographic.

You can have both grassroots and corporate involvement. The Caribbean Carnivals in the U.K. have both, as does Pride London and that generally works well.

How many LGBTs can a tribe have and survive? 50%?


So now sick pervs have a reason to be proud? How about schizos? Should they be proud, too? Or bedwetters...

How many people have tribes? Are numbers of that demographic shrinking then?

You seem to have a fixation about that topic; there are threads enough for you to opine about it in; we're actually talking about the tradition of parades in Poland. Good to see plenty this year.

All I will say is that I have no problem with Lesbian women or Gay men.
But this LGBTQWERTY+++ thing is just a joke gone too far!
And needs to be stopped.

Pride parades have two subgroups.

1. Paraders who know they are biologically worthless, and
2. On-lookers mumbling: I am so glad it's not me or my kids...

Kind of like at a circus with a bearded lady...or a midget with two heads...


Guess what! You and I are not included in that ever-growing chain of madness...
I stopped at a fagot church near me and asked them about that omission...They asked me to leave...

You can't turn back time, ever. Bette Midler tried.

Poland has a long tradition of marching; if anything that seems to be growing. A good thing, since it brings people together.

So did Auschwitz...Poles, Russians, Jews, Germans, French, Dutch, fagots...The biggest multicultural event ever...

[quote=Novichok]So did Auschwitz. ./
[quote]Auschwitz Day is celebrated every year. Naturally, there are many foreign guests there.

When people get together they kill, rape, steal, vandalize, and start world wars.

I hate mindless mobs where two guys with an IQ of 120 each can quickly turn into two violent morons with an IQ of 60. See soccer matches in Europe and gangs in the US.

Individually, people are fairly harmless.

Hey, stupid, we don't "celebrate" deaths and death camps. We remember the dead.

If there is anything to celebrate about Auschwitz, it is the liberation of it by the Red Army.

Memo to the Red Army: I will never forget you, guys, and will always cherish this sight:

Auschwitz Day 2024 has nothing to do with the former concentration camp.

Yes, and Berlin has nothing to do with Germany.

Kreuzberg probably not...BB where are you‽

Very true. No country is its capital, except perhaps Monaco and Luxembourg.

Kreuzberg has its nice parts. I'll be there soon, except we're staying the other side of Mitte, where Friedrichstrasse meets Oranienburgerstrasse. It will still be nice to go to Kreuzberg for an evening though. There's a bit of a story about the hotel I chose. It looks a nice one, sort of a 'concept' hotel.

I once went to Kreuzberg on May Day by mistake. There was a very different sort of parade and fortunately those don't happen in Poland.

Alien, drop that used condom. Get a gun if you want a gunfight.

A 12-year-old girl would be better at it...

What for? Read what it is "Dzień Oświęcimia 2024".
