History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [871]
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
Poland in 1939 - 35 million population
Poland in 1945 - 23 million population
Do the maths again.

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.

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

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...

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.

Yeah...must'n mix up ethnicity and nationality...not so easy these days!
Germans have problems with that I admit...
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!
One can still be ethnically German and consider himself Polish by nationality! Polish nationalism is a bit more open then the German one BB.

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!

Polonization!
As Poles who lived in Germany got germanized in time, so were Germans living in Poland better polonizing.
Utter BS! My family is quite a good example of en "pre-German" family that became Polish! Why do you think so many Poles have German surnames?

Well...that must be the USians in them then..
Polish/eastern Jews for sure.
But western/german Jews was a different case. They were integrating totally...so many Germans who intermingled with Poles had also their ounce jewish heritage in them..ergo... ;)
I feel many Polish-Americans on this forum respect productivity and efficiency more than the finer things in life like idleness and aesthetic contemplation and that is why they are Crypto-Germans.
Well...that must be the USians in them then..
Jews being a very proud people, wanted to preserve their Jewish culture, so they generally kept to themselves. That was there choice.
Polish/eastern Jews for sure.

Heh:)
Nah...we will mingle and mix happily as we did for millennia now! :)
Especially now as close working neighbours without any borders whatsoever...
I remember a joint venture agreement between two companies, one Polish and the other German. The board of the German company all had Polish surnames and the board of the Polish company all had German surnames.
Heh:)
No, sweetie pie, you stay lovely as you are at your place and we will stay as we are at ours.

Boy, you really have to observe yourself!
Do you really think someone changes its ethnic heritage just like that???
Nobody else clings to his heritage even afte centuries but only the Poles do???
And that's why you trying to tell me all Germans can't wait to shed their german heritage to become part of the great, phantastic Poland????
You sweared allegiance to the US voluntarily I read? No more Pole in you now, isn't there?
You still have no proof that the majority of Germans living in Poland felt that way, maybe wealthy people or noble how did the majority, the common people feel?

Ummm....he could by why should he?
Do you know that towns like your beloved Krakow were re-settled and re-build almost exclusively by Germans, don't you?
Why do you think it came to a large scale polonization? Do you really believe all that warm fuzzy I-love-to-be-polish crap?
Because Poland didn't partition Germany and persecute it's people, a German didn''t have a reason to hate Poland if he was born there he could see Poland as his true homeland and feel a Pole.
Ummm....he could by why should he?
I'm sure you know Germans began settling in Poland in large numbers back in the 12th century, a generation or two they intermarried with Poles ans saw themselves as Poles.
