History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [871]

Poland in 1939 - 35 million population
Poland in 1945 - 23 million population

Do the maths again.

Minus the Germans, the Belorussians, the Ukrainians...all what was counted as polish citizens before the war.
Poland lost many nationals in the East during the border shifting and expelled the Germans in the West...then there are the Jews murdered by the Nazis.

...the agreed upon number of dead ethnic Poles is about 3,5 Mill.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Poland_(1939%E2%80%931945)#Yalta_and_the_Soviets

...
Of all the countries involved in the war, Poland lost the highest percentage of its citizens: over seven million perished,over three million of them Polish Catholics and the remaining three million were Polish Jews.

USA, Canada / Why are Polish Americans mocked in the American media? [226]

I dare say we get mocked just as much in return.

Oh that you are...who would forget the "mocking wars" at football games between our BILD and british SUN and Daily Mail! :):):)

lets keep an eye on this show so that hopefully nothing negative gets written into the script about the Polish character.

I have problems with that statement of yours MW.

Do you think Poles are perfect? Do you think a real life character has no flaws? Nothing negatives about Poles at all?

And what if you really achieve that...no Pole in TV will ever be shown a tiny bit "negatively".
Do you really think people don't look through that propaganda (because that's what it amounts to)?
Do you really think you are not just then INVITING jokes and contempt because of that behavior?

I don't get you!

Food / Eat goulash from a cat and a steak from a dog in Poland! [114]

So it is a cultural thing in the end?

At one side wanting to save pigeons from a cruel rice-death on the other side a preferred method to get a nice rice-dog meal without any scruples...

We might belong to one of the last generations who has to think these heavy thoughts anyhow.

It's becoming acute with fish already which will become a rare luxury in a few years and will spread on to many other food stuff we take for granted.

The industry will sell more and more faked stuff which only looks like the real thing but consists of godknowswhat...

The earth just can't keep up with feeding the many billions of people anymore..

So soon it's all artificial anyhow! No need to discuss the morals of the food anymore...

Many would say you can and go on about how intelligent the pig is.

The intelligence quotient is not the same as the cuddleworthy factor but intelligent animals shouldn't be eaten in the first place in my opinion.

The moment one convinces me that my daily meat has self awareness and that they give each other names I will rethink my behavior.

...The evidence suggests dolphins share the human ability to recognise themselves and other members of the same species as individuals with separate identities.
The research, on wild bottlenose dolphins, will lead to a reassessment of their intelligence and social complexity, raising moral questions over how they should be treated.

They shouldn't be kept in zoos and trained to make funny things for the public either once a certain IQ is measured...

One can still be ethnically German and consider himself Polish by nationality! Polish nationalism is a bit more open then the German one BB.

Yeah...must'n mix up ethnicity and nationality...not so easy these days!
Germans have problems with that I admit...

Well thank the Nazi's... After ww2 anybody even reminding anythign about Germans were a bad thing! + add nobel roots! The commie party WERE NOT fond of my family AT ALL!

Ach scratch that...I only know the tidbits you tell the forum and you always make sure that everybody knows that your family is not really German at all and does everything to stamp that heritage out...being double proud Poles...extra strong!

Sorry if I misinterpreted that.

I mean you can hate the Nazis but be still german...where is the sense in changing your ethnicity after politics!
