Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1049]

Kołomyja was in Austrian partition zone

Assuming that was the town in what is now Ukraine.
What if it was from the village in Podlasie?

UK, Ireland / Polish and East European prostitutes in the UK [240]

Each major city hosts two or three such bars which are run by local gangsters

And I thought you such a good boy......but you are an expert on gangster run brothels?

UK, Ireland / Polish and East European prostitutes in the UK [240]

Polish strippers take U.S. Soldier to the cleaners for $50,000 PLN.

Why do you enjoy mocking Poles?
Is this some kind of Pol Am superiority complex?
If so, it is unfounded.

Next time I'm in Greenpoint,

I am guessing that must be a bit of a Polish part of NY then.

Even Polish fast food can be good, like zapiekanka, when done properly.

History / What have the Germans hidden in Poland? [28]

It seems a bit farfetched with this long lost diary.

It does, but as you say, good luck to them.

do they get to keep it or does the government get it?

In the article they mentioned returning some of the stuff to their rightful owners, but I don't know what the position is in Poland on finding this kind of stuff.

But I am sure someone on PF will know.

This is interesting, they are hoping to find tons of stuff looted by the Germans during WW2.

Study / Question about studing Polish history and culture [20]

I think that it is time for Poles to remember the huge contribution that Polish Jews have made to Polish history and culture.
Stanislaw Lem was one of those many great talents.

UK, Ireland / Polish cities and their UK twins [34]

Poland does have some wonderful parks, especially in Warsaw.
But they are no match for the parks in larger cities, like London or in the USA.
I now hear that even these are now under threat by developers.
In my opinion, a nation that largely lives in apartments rather than houses,
need these spaces more than most.
Opinions?

Torun is a wonderful Polish city, birthplace of Kopernik and the Gingeer bread capital of Poland, which came to Poland from Germany during the Hanseatic period....it also has some great Gothic architecture.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]

@johnny reb

I actually think it is unfair to compare Polish/European policing tactics to America.
America has a much greater level of violent crime than Europe.
Guns are much more easily available in America and Americans are more scared of violent crime than Europeans and righty so.
Police in America therefore react much more violently than European police to counter this extreme violence that Europeans struggle to comprehend.
George Floyd was a bad guy, but he did not deserve to die for using a counterfeit 20 dollar bill.
Derek Chavin was a bad cop.Unstable, violent and with some other social and mental problems.
But I object to people now referring to him as a white supremacist.
There are people out there, both black and white, who just want to stir up some kind of race war.
Don't let this happen.
It will benefit only the extremists on both sides.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]

I would be interested to know what tactics a Polish policeman would resort to say if you were holding an illegal gun

What you fail to understand, is though that does happen, it is pretty rare in europe.
We do not have the American gun problem that kills so many people,almost on a weekly basis.....one day, you guys may work it out, but I ain't holdin my breath....

Genealogy / Silesian, old Polish heritage? [49]

Yeah, Europe has always had mixed cultures, either by invasion, royal marriage or agreements.
And to be fair, in rhe main, I think it has, in the end, benefited all of us.

History / What makes you feel Polish? [167]

@pawian

This will make me even less Polish in your estimation Pawian, I hate tartar and am not keen on wodka either, or any spirits for that matter.

I quite like Jack Daniels, but a small bottle bought for me for Christmas, remains in the cupboard, almost full.

Genealogy / Silesian, old Polish heritage? [49]

Ja genau! :)

LOL!!

back then as my family lived there it was Breslau

Yeah, I know, and like many of the greatest Polish cities, has fine German architecture too.
I have seen this in France too, in Alsace,(Elsass?) Which was also a disputed region.
Strasbourg, Colmar and the whole region looks very pretty and very German.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

Isn`t is simple?

Abortion is never simple.
It involves many situations, circumstances and peoples mental health.
In general, I would oppose abortion wherever possible.
But I can envisage situations where it is the least worst option.
A very emotive and sad subject.

History / Polish attitudes towards ex-Soviet republics joining NATO [116]

Yes, but Russian trade with Western Europe exceeds that with China.

I have checked this out and that is true, but Western Europe is not a country.

If you look at countries, China is their main export partner.

You are twisting the facts.Again.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

@pawian

Polish politics is pretty corrupt.
Poland still has a long way to go.
But hey, politics in "The West" is not much better.
More and more people are becoming disillusioned with politics.

Milo, what do you think about ruling rightards who employ former confirmed communists?

I don't care if they are right or left wing.
I would regard them all as traitors, as I do PIS.

The USSR humiliated citizens in lots of ways

Nothing much has changed in modern Russia under Putin.
As far as I can see, it is "Business as usual".
