History / Is there any part of Polish history that's at least a bit glorious? [196]

Well...again....Poland wasn't alone in this...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna

On the other hand Poles had been allies to Napoleon who was about to conquer and enslave Europe and had to be beaten by an alliance...so that balances it out somewhat. ;)

History / History of Poland in 10 minutes. Really worth seeing! [134]

I'm with you though, Poland should leave the EU and return all the money that the government and its people were granted.

Then Germany would again get a poor and unstable neighbour....we so don't want that! :(

An exit from the union is not the same as an isolation.

...no, but getting into quarrels with your neighbours because of territories would be!

The result of a membership in the union, is a deterioration of the national sovereignty. A common factor in the union.

Well...what's the point of being in a union if not adhering to commonly agreed laws and ways?
Both...being in and outside of a union has advantages and disadvantages...what advantages would being outside of the EU have for Poland?

Poland is no Switzerland!

So I would say, reform the union or make an exit.

What for reforms should it be?

PS: Reforming is best done from the inside ;)

The way I see it, Poland shouldn't have a government who sells the country out to the EU. We should demand our Ukrainian land back, if Russia ever is suppose to work with us.

Such a policy would isolate Poland in Europe...what good would that do the polish people?

Would such a government really have the best of it's people in mind?

History / Polish history is 100% glorious [297]

You know you pop up with these things over and over again.

Nun ja...should I forget about them? As you should about KZ's and the Holocaust???

I know that I am right, but try and convince ppl like that

Well....good for the rest that you know it at least! :)

And do me a favour, don't call me commie again, as I am not a commie

I don't think you are a commie...I think you just don't know the difference between Social Democracy, Socialism and Communism and their cousins who come in different forms. You call yourself left and think about poor third world farmer who starve and want to help them to make the world better.

You have no idea what living in Socialism actually means...I don't blame you.

Maybe we should just leave it at that!

Their economics or their militairy ventures/racial ideology?

You mean compared to Holodomor, Gulags and the Berlin Wall???

;)

There is no point in discussing with sb who is so convinced of their own wrong ideas.

Well..you failed to convince any of us about the "wrongness" of our ideas...I hope I won't have to visit an re-education camp now...;)

A good example is that nonsense that Hitler and his Nazis were left-wingers

Hey...the thread to discuss that is that way ---->

Using elements of Socialism doesn't make you a Socialist,

Sure it does!

When I start to wear a Swastika and use slogans about the Yid you would call me a Nazi, wouldn't you...and why? Because I use elements of the national-socialists...

History / Destruction of Ukrainian churches in Poland in 1938 [289]

The same ukrainian people who were starved to death during the Stalin holodomor?
The same Ukrainians who did greet the Wehrmacht with salt and bread as their liberators from Soviet rule???

Somewhat hard to believe...

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
Nothing new here...WWII was full of that.

History / Destruction of Ukrainian churches in Poland in 1938 [289]

Just read:

"Getting history wrong is part of being a nation."

Joseph-Ernest Renan (France)

...boy is he right!

he then adds:

"National identities are about sheltering us from the truth. National myths twist the facts of history to fit political needs. And they do so not through a positive evocation of identity but through the denigration of others, through creating hostility and fear."

History / Destruction of Ukrainian churches in Poland in 1938 [289]

People, who spoke Ukrainian on the daily basis were polonised or were either forced or convinced to convert to Catholic faith.

Kulturkampf! ;)

. Any assault on people's religous sites, the most

Oh please, how do you think Christianity came to Europe in the first place?
Ask the millions converted by force, or beheaded or burned at stakes if they still resisted...
Christians have no reasons to whine at all! They only get back some of their medicine they once dished out.

History / Time for Slavic Commonwealth around Poland as center [223]

Sometimes i simple want to see what other people think

No you don't!

If you were interested in any discussion you would had accepted by now that you are a lone nutter and nobody sane is interested in a slavic union with you.

But instead you open up yet another thread, trudging out the same lame propaganda, like the broken record you are.

You are not interested what other peoples have to say, you want only to hear yourself talk.

Language / Do Poles prefer US American or UK English language? [147]

How are things back in the old country BB?

We miss our emigrants! ;)

English spoken on the Island of Great Britain and its surrounds should, in my opinion, be referred to as English and the modified version used in America should be called American English.

Just call it German! *ducks and runs*

:):):)

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

HORNBEAM: species of tree, German: Weißbuche (literally 'white beech').
BTW, the beam in hornbeam was older English for tree (related to German Baum). English used to be much closer to German than it is today.

Thank you

Don't tell me Poles didn't hate Germans for a very long time now!
At least we don't have a Kaczinsky in our offices right now...

What is the goal of your thread Borrka?

show the true background of the German Nazis.

Yeah...let's show...it will be a revelation to the people who absolutely know nothing about the German Nazis! ;)

History / Quotes of Polish or German kings, generals [42]

Since you don't wanna bring sources I do :)
thinkexist.com/quotes/frederick_the_great/

My favourite:

"Religion is the idol of the mob; it adores everything it does not understand."

military-quotes.com/frederick-the-great.htm

And some more from the great Friedrich: brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/f/frederick_ii.html

My people and I have come to an agreement which satisfied us both. They are to say what they please, and I am to do what I please.

Men like this aren't born anymore!

Perhaps it's old-fashioned German?

I think your dictionary got it wrong...so!

M-G (it's not important anyway)

If someone mangles my language it's important! ;)

Ack...here is a much better site telling you everything you ever wanted to know about "HAUT"

I never ever heard someone say Devil=Haut! (I'm not telling M-G how to speak dutschisch on the other hand)
