News / Petition for War Crimes Reparations for Poland [126]

Sure....it wouldn't be the first time...this topic pops up regularly....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_reparations#Poland

There has been compensations, there has been treaties...if Poland today wants to disrespect them then everything else will to...then Silesia needs to be re-negotiated not to mention the billions of EU-funds pouring into Poland...not to mention opening up an interesting case for others who have historical beef with Poland.

It's a two-sided sword and in Europe nearly everybody can play that game!

So, nobody will do anything about it...only nutters on some internet forum or politicians hoping to win some brownie points with a small portion of the electorate for domestic reasons.

That is not really a topic any longer at all!

But reparations have, especially if there has been compensations and subscribed treaties about it...

@Weimarer

That means nothing for Germany....be it Greece or Poland such actions are meant for the home population, for domestic reasons only like an upcoming election battle...to seduce possible voters with a show of dicks...

Once that is over that reparation demand is forgotten like any other pre-election promise! It's a game...

I call it Germolia...my polish friend prefers Gerpolia...so the decision on the name is still out! :)

Now THAT is nice! Thats how I would like to see our both countries...

...my memory is getting foggy! :)

*nods*

Or Vietnam! They were always in need of some parcels. I remember THAT! :)

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]


Mind you...I somewhat doubt that my East German overlords would waste their school kids time to send humanitarian aid in a roundabout way to support the Solidarity uprising in the "socialist brother country" Poland...I wonder where else the parcels were send to...


I don't remember! :(

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]


Thats all I ever wanted! :)

Interesting....I too remember faintly packing such parcels with my school class, it was an organized action after school and all classes did it...but I don't remember where they were send to....

There is even a movie about the West German help for Poles during that time:

Yeah....well....that doesn't count...we got it from the Spaniards who brought it back from South America before...

How about sausages?

Nope...it's about "Klima Schutz"....after that logic every child destroys to much of the climate (CO2 foot print). Rich children are not better than poor kids. To save the planet we need to constrain ourselves...the author said.

I can't help thinking that idea would fit better to Africa and Asia where people are spawning as if there is no tomorrow (China being excepted). Not really to Germany or Europe generally with their already sinking birthrates...

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

Maybe german women will get in the future a bonus for NOT bearing children to fit the population size to the rest of the manual jobs where humans are still needed.

The first ideas are being thrown around....

PS: Of course to keep the borders open at the same time for foreigners with lotsa foreign children would be then somewhat counter productive..

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


Nah....just much more people, they have to live like ants in huge anthills...living and working like tiny ants....ants have no individuality, they only serve a purpose....

Your ideal?

Not mine!

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

Most of India still lives firmly in the third world, China too. A majority is still uneducated even illiterate, dirt poor, without access to health care or even clean water, I'm not even mentioning civil rights and participation on a democratic process, people in Beijing and Delhi are dying daily from inhaling their poisonous, toxic air ffs...The people in the West live generally on a much higher niveau....most Indians and Chinese can only dream of!

A few prestige projects and a few abysmal rich people don't show the whole picture.

And please, just try writing a posting without injecting muslims somehow innit, TRY! Thank you.

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


Compared to China and India most of the West is still in another league...they have still alot of catching up to do!

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

That's not a fair comparison.....

For the US and most of the West space has lost it's priority. A grave error which will cost us dearly, especially as the Russians have never let up and the Chinese have found their ambition to become a space faring nation too.

There are lists...but not organized in centuries:

....imagine Germany's mad scientists had build the bomb for the Nazis.

Berlin would have been erased...together with my grandmom and her four little girls...no Bratwurst Boy today....

No thanks! You can be a smartie and still be dumb as a piece of cow dung.

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


Why are you so interested in lowering the numbers at all? Shouldn't you be...I dunno...proud of that "achievement" and instead of downtalking it?

Your usual posts don't give the impression as if you have great empathy or compassion for the fate of "them Jews" under the Nazis....

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


Isn't it mind boggling when non-Germans adore Hitler and the Nazis? Totally ignoring the sacrifices their own ancestors brought and the fate what would had awaited them if their heroes had won?

Is there something more sick and stupid? Suicidal maybe? Traiterous at least?

I can understand when Germans or even Japanese do this, but Russians? Poles? Brits, USians????

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


Maybe...maybe not.

That doesn't do sh't for the deep split across the country, in the case the Remainer would win now only the other half is deeply unhappy and angry...

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


And still.....you can't wave your flag at a painting, or have a victory party for a poem :)

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

No....not "the" people...half of them don't want Brexit.

"The" Ossis don't want Putin either....what are you gonna do with those who don't want that?

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


Probably paid by Putin....

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


You are a Linke fan!

That's their party program...(and the SPD talks the same)

You should reconsider whom you give your vote come next elections!

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [676]


I repeat:


That means 16,8 million Germans have european roots...meaning their parents or one parent came from countries like Poland....and only a small minority of those have roots in a muslim country, and most of these come from Turkey!

I repeat:

16,8 million : 2,8 million

Aren't you getting sick of harping on about such few people and feverishly painting doomsday scenarios? Why are you so damned scared of these people? You are sh'itting your pants just thinking about them...

Or are you racist to our european brethren too?

What is it?


Yeah well your perception exists in your head only...and has nothing to do with my reality!

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

In short: Socialism

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

....probably! :)

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


Especially in Berlin. All anti-americanism in Berlin was imported with west german Anarchos, Kommunards, Junkies and Hippies and what not...

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


I never heard of this.....


I LIVE HERE...born and raised in East Berlin...and I still live here, heh:)

I still like it to much to relocate to the baltic coast...well...maybe later...
