History / Historic Polish-Japanese intelligence cooperation [21]

The Japanese are good people. No wonder whatever you throw at them, they rise and rise good!

The Chinese might think differently....no?

You are astoundingly generous about japanese behavior during their wars....but not so with others, why is that? ;)

News / Poland's Krab Howitzer (the 155mm gun) Has Passed the Test! [49]

And what if we ever enter a conflict with Germany or if Germany suffers an economic collapse, what about our science, manufacturing and arms sectors?

Always the optimist, eh Sok? ;)

Well, that was just how I see it. Germany's arms industry is not so much about pride or security but a huge economical factor. We sell our stuff left and right....

If Poland wants to do the same, why not!

Why inventing so much time, money and effort to build something similiar of what already exist and you could buy easily????

When you don't have a tradition in weaponry and no big R&D military industry it will be hard to build something which could be a match for other already successful systems from countries which much more expertise.

If I were Poland I would go shopping instead...

History / Poland: Her heroes and her traitors [239]

In France,when a criminal cannot be apprehended, his picture is hung on a gallows or gibbet, at the bottom of which is written his sentence of condemnation.

Nope...it's not cute when the French do it!

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK, you know were the door is [105]

So, you don't even have a Polish name, you're a halfbreed (with German blood

Rofl Rofl Rofl *cackle cackle* Really!!!! PolskiDump is self-hater???? *snicker* ROFL

PolskiMoc:
While Germans deny that Bukowski, Nietzsche, Dirk Nowitzki & Podolski are Polish.

Not only Germans, themselves and the world too:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bukowski

Bukowski was born Heinrich Karl Bukowski in Andernach, Germany, to Heinrich Bukowski and Katharina (née Fett).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nietzsche

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Nowitzki

Born in Würzburg, Germany, Nowitzki comes from a sports family: his mother Helga was a professional basketball player and his father Jörg-Werner was a handball player who represented Germany at the highest international level.[3]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lukas_Podolski

Podolski is polish who preferred to play for Germany instead of Poland. Make of that what you will ;)

News / Poland reveals its new super car. [56]

It looks like a carbon copy of a Lamborghini, especially the outside.

Most newbies start out with copying successful models. The experience and the dare to try out own designs comes with time.

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

Well..it was about the Jewish holocaust. Didn't his documentary coined the word "Shoa" in the first place?
It was in my understanding that this word was made known widely for the first time outside of Israel...

BB, no offence but you haven't had the contact with older Poles like I have. They are highly descriptive with what they see and also highly trustworthy as people. They have no axes to grind and I have the strongest inclination that they are telling the truth. Is that what bothers you, BB? I never claim to know when it comes to history and nor should those that weren't there. However, the accuracy of their accounts is not in doubt IMHO.

Seanie...you totally misunderstood me.
I mused more or less about the making of this doku and how different it is to todays movies and dokus.
I never doubted the content!

Oh well....

I have the audacity to question objectivity of this "documentary".

This doku isn't objective, it hasn't to be....it was very subjective on the side of the victims, understandable.

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

40 years on from the end of WWII and things were unknown?

Well..at the time of "Shoa" alot of things were still unknown and Lanzmanns docu made mighty waves. Especially as that theme was still not such a media event back then and beaten to death by movies as it is now....

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

I completely disagree, BB. It's the very opposite of shock and awe

That's what I said Seanie..hence my musings....it was surely something special back then as information about the scale of the massmurder and the "hows" and "whys" were still fairly unknown.

How can you take a hack at real life accounts?

I didn't take a a "hack" I only observed myself, compared that quite famous docu to other holocaust stuff and wondered abit, that's all!

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

I recommend Shoah

I sat all these hours through it and don't find it recommendable....maybe it was news and all shock and awe but for today's people there is nothing new innit and it not even provoked emotions...

Or people today are more thick skinnied than earlier generations? Or just spoiled by tearjerker blockbusters ala Spielberg...I dunno..I was abit disappointed.

So asking a German, how does it sound to you? how's it different from British English?

I can easily differentiate between them...;)

God is black..

What God!

Swahili is widely acknowledged to be the language that sounds the most beautiful,

A link to that survey please!

I like the sound of English...english English that is. Somehow I found the american english not as nice on the ears.
Is it just me or is it really abit twang? I'm puzzled about that difference for years now....especially listening to the news anchors of CNN.

I like the sound of spanish too...ever since I learned it for a few years (all already forgotten now of course).

I don't like Italian and French....

News / Achievements of the Tusk's Polish government [538]

As you say, in the future, I agree.

It's all about the future...to put in place the right reforms NOW to make the country work in the future.

8 years back the Schröder government put in place hard fought reforms Germany today profits from. We very probably wouldn't be the "economic powerhouse" that we are today without them.

(Didn't stop him from falling out of favour with the electorate though who begrudged him the said reforms...)

Education reform is extremely important...when you plan to achieve industrialization, that is.
Where should the skilled worker, the inventors, builders, developers, do'er come in polish future when the education sucks? They can't work all on farms...

...Poland now ranks 9th among all countries in overall reading scores on PISA,the only transition country to go from being below the OECD average on PISA to above average.

You can also downtalk a country without need...especially when there are no alternatives present.

See Bratwurst your German... typical german scum that Poles..myself included do not like. Mind business of your own country.

So...you would like me better when I downtalk and ridicule Poland and it's achievements? I can do that too..
A polish joke maybe?

;)

Tusk is too soft and afraid of losing popularity.

What about that?

I think its only a matter of time til the bubble bursts. A false economy being propped up by EU funding.

EU-funds are not automatically used wisely, we learned that the hard way...
When they are used to prop up the consumerism (buying stuff, welfare etc.) instead to invest in infrastructure, industrialization, building of an economony it ends bad (Greece).

But do you really think that is what happens in Poland? And what would Kaczinsky do differently?

Try living here and see for yourself.

Compare Poland with other european countries....not stable, no growing economy, begging for help, broke, ridiculed leaders!
I'm fairly sure they would be happy to have a Tusk instead of their own chaos.

The title of this thread " achievements ", of which no one can elaborate, other than the govs propaganda reports.

The economy is rolling...is it not?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Poland

The Economy of Poland is a high income economy[6] and is the sixth largest in the EU and one of the fastest growing economies in Central Europe, with a yearly growth rate of over 3.0% before the late-2000s recession.[7]
It is the only member country of the European Union to have avoided a decline in GDP, meaning that in 2009 Poland has created the most GDP growth in the EU.[8] As of December 2009 the Polish economy had not entered recession nor contracted. According to the Central Statistical Office of Poland,
In 2010 the Polish economic growth rate was 3.8 %, which was one of the best results in Europe.

Propaganda only???

That in itself is a huuuuge achievement in the current crisis...and everything else stems from that. If the economy sucks you can forget about everything else.

Well why doesn't Tusk build a missle shield. He's a jerk off thats why.

Why? Who is threatening Poland with missiles???

It seems your gripes with Tusk is military spending only....he on the other hand seems more concerned with the economy. We here in Germany would vote for him as Chancellor anytime...believe me.

We have the same priorities!
