Life / Why Polish people should be proud of being Polish? [370]

What's the point?

Not far back in time it was a great source of pride to actually have an empire!
The Brits still harp back to those good 'ol times...And Germany too was once a good deal
larger, so was Spain, France and yes, Poland too...so were the times, either you feasted on your neighbours (and other continents) or they did feast on you.

Never having gained more land through war ever is...what actually? An admission of being a weakling always??? ;)

Religion on the other hand is for sure no source of pride...but then...I'm a heathen! :)

Travel / How to go to Frankfurt from Poland? [16]

"Frankfurt" means something like free crossing over the river (a frank furt)...so there are quadrillions of "Frankfurts" at the many rivers!

But generally the talked about are the one (huge) in the West at the river Main and the (not so huge) in the East at the river Oder near Poland....

UK, Ireland / Polish and Irish people are related? [137]

i think that they are related (dna?) as both love:

Erm....don't mix up genetics and culture ;)

wiki/Irish_people

...The frequency of Y-DNA haplogroup R1b (the most common haplogroup in Europe) is highest in the populations of Atlantic Europe and, due to European emigration, in North America, South America, and Australia.
R1b is the most frequent haplogroup in Germany, and is common in southern Scandinavia and in Italy.

/wiki/Polish_people

...
Polish people show the characteristic R1a genes of a common Paleolithic male ancestorship at a frequency of 55.9-56.4%. This lineage includes haplotype Eu19 distinguished by M17 lineage. Its frequency increases eastward from south-western France and reaches a maximum in Poland, Hungary, and west Ukraine

Take it easy on yourself Nathan.

Yeah...take it easy Nate!
You did put up a good fight the whole year on PF...my admiration for that! :)

Have a good holiday and new years eve and come back soon! ;)

Democracy seems now to be nothing but authoritarian rule in disguise.

The difference might be you can show this "authoritarian" the finger when you are displeased...after 4 years usually the latest.

In this regard there is no better alternative....

News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [203]

But you see, they (US and EU) have the power to squeeze you if you get out of line.

Crap!

What could the US and the EU do when Ukraine wants to deal with Iran?
Germany alone has big business with Iran and we get the regular ear full from our "friends" the Israelis for that.

dw-world

Germany, in fact, does more business with Iran than any other European country, with annual German-Iranian trade volume estimated to be about 5 billion euros ($7.1 billion).

At least 1,700 German companies are active in Iran, including household names like Siemens and BASF which have been in the country for decades. Some 75 percent of all small and mid-size companies in Iran are outfitted with German technology.

It's about highly sensitive technology which can be used as WMD's for bad purposes by bad regimes. That should be in all interests.

And I don't think the Ukraine has big stuff to sell in that regard...so where does your frustration come from Nate? You can do business with whom you want and you don't even produce the kind

of stuff which is actually embargoed...so what?

When did you spring onto the "bad West" - band waggon Nathan? That is for lazy thinkers!

PS: That one...

But you see, they (US and EU) have the power to squeeze you if you get out of line. They explain this by making up boogie stories about Iranians.

...is conspiratorial theory 101 for nutters in prime form!

Erm...did we talk about Belorussia??? That's new to me...

That would only mean that in comparison to Russia, Iranians have at least a bit freedom in their media.

Really!

ONE??? Oh come on. You had thousands of nuts and beasts. Was there only Hitler to show off? Lebensraum alone had an army of nuts behind it.

ROFL...low steeping Ukrainian...go play with the Poles that game.
Our nutters were even in an alliance with your nutters to give your people some "Lebensraum"...

;) Yeh, according to what history, BB?

So in your world Khomeini was an american plant and ally, yes? Heh:)

Somehow it didn't secure Europe at the end of the 30s.

There had been embargos???
It wasn't even tried to not hinder the appeasement policy!

Well, France does to Russia and as I recall France is part of the EU. The same pertains to Germany

Yeah...France and Germany are in the EU!

And there will be always criminals trying to undergo the state policy...they are not safe and have to pay when they get caught.

And then the rest are fed who is good and who is bad.

Well...not really successful...as YOU, Nathan the Wise, already know the truth about all and everything and who is good and bad!

EU-brainwashing really sucks!

History / Poland in a Slavic Union/Alliance/Federation? [335]

Polish forums is not a representative of Poles, and I don't think the majority would think exactly like you. Neither in Germany nor in Poland.

Well Poland voted in their majority for the EU, didn't they? Why do you think they did so?
When the majority wants out of the EU why do you think Tusk was voted into government???

There is no real anti-EU movement in Poland successfull right now, isn't there..

I think most Poles know full well what they have and where their future lies...hence their lacking enthusiasm for any "slavic"-thingie! ;)

I hope I could clarify myself.

Well...instead of trying to develop the wheel again take that what is already there and working and go from there.

Much better chance of success!

BB, this was demeaning. We are not such loosers that without EU we could never have progressed.

Well...the majority thinks otherwise.

All I am trying to say is that there are some more powerful countries in Europe which try to dominate the EU.

Rofl
And these games won't be played in a slavic union? Don't kid yourself...
I for sure want to have a say in something I got to pay for!

The EU is not from stone but from us, it's people....you can influence it, you know? Why don't you put your energy into something useful for once and try to work the parliament in Brussel for

changes?
That has for sure a much better chance of success!

History / Poland in a Slavic Union/Alliance/Federation? [335]

But EU is not a fare club is it? ... Think of it for a moment keeping your German Helmet down. Is it exactly fare?

"fare"? Do you mean fair?

Take Poland for example...is it fair to profit massively from the EU-feeding through? To be able to travel freely across Europe, working?
Do you think it's fair for the PIIGS being able to hold on the EU to get help in the billions?

Most of it financed by the german helmets!

What exactly is not fair?

. Plus, I personal (please note) feel that EU is a possibility but the future lays in a more united group of countries with much more equality.

Why do you think the EU puts so much money and investments into the poor newbies?
Of course to bring them up to standards...democratically and economically.

Who will pay the bill in your slavic union???

Someplace where USA, Canada, South African, Australia, NZ, India, China and Japan can also come in as a member.

Well...that is hardly a "slavic union" anymore, isn't it! Changed your mind already Lodz?

But he is just hurt. He can be changed right? ... Why turn away from your own brothers just because they have turned their back on prosperity through friendship for the time being?

It's YOUR brother...your problem!

History / Poland in a Slavic Union/Alliance/Federation? [335]

Being enemies with people for petty reasons is not my intention, with Slavic Union or anything similar I would expect a club of progressive people ... who can be members in another club with Germans and Turks aswell.

You can do that much more easily inside the EU...the framework is already there with more slavic countries queuing up to become members.
It's only natural when neighbours with shared interests work together...THAT is the future.

But a "slavic union" build on ethnic heritage is not only racist but won't have a mouse snots chance in hell...as most Slavs are not even interested.

You will find only supporters with "Slavija"-nutters like Crowie...who really don't have progressivity, friendship or peace in mind (as you very well know).

And who those oppressor of Iranians that Ukrainians are friends of, BB?

You are wishing for such a friendly future, weren't you?

When, on the other hand, there is a demonstration for democracy in Russia and people are beaten like cattle in the Red Square, you are happy to deal with areligious, amoral nutters with nukes. Double standards? Absolutely.

Nope, Putin get's alot of **** from the west, just recently because of his cruel game with this Chodorkowski guy...

Also there are regular votings in Russia...when a majority of Russians is actually quite happy with Putin and how he rules what can the West do? You know about his high approval rates in Russia, don't you...When 3/4 of the country agree with their gov...

Medvedev's approval rating has grown 3 percent since September to 76, while Putin's remains at 77, according to a survey...

Compare that to Iran!

but dictatorship in Iran came from the way Americans

Oh crap...stop blaming everything on the Amis again, that is so lazy thinking!
The religious revolution was an inner iranian thing and they paid for that for years now...

Recall Germany and what it became when it was pressed against the wall by Versaille - you had more nutters than the history of Europe in all times.

Huh? We had ONE! Every important country with ambitions has at least one nutter to show off..

And embargos against hostile, agressive, non-democratic countries is mostly a way to secure your own countries.
Germany for example doesn't sell military high-tech to China...atomar technology to help Iran's dictator to build nukes to threaten us in the end would be not so smart either.

Also Russia is not privy to sensitive technologies...if it interests you.

So much for the future of a slavic alliance...nobody (besides some nutters) seems to want it seriously.
Slavs hating and mistrusting their brethren, or at best being desinterested in their fate. I wonder when the Serbs will learn their lesson...

It's about eternal life outside of one's mortal coil.

Energy can't get lost or be destroyed, a scientific proven fact, so the life energy survives too, it doesn't need the aged, sick, died body...and no man made religion has any influence on that in any way.

What Iran have done to be treated like a scapegoat? It is to advantage of Europe to be dealing with Iran.

Well...I for one don't want to deal with religious nutters with nukes.

And on the other hand, it's always astounding how some people forget all about their own history and their own fight for freedom only a few years back.

As we speak there are people jailed and hanged for saying the wrong things, opposing the regime.
Remember the youth uprising in Teheran a few months back? A whole young generation under
the boot of the "guards" again.

Appeasement and indulgence of dictatorships isn't something to be proud of...to the contrary, it's something alot of Easternerns blame the West for.

But then, it was about their own freedoms...who cares for other peoples freedoms, right? Right!

The West will destroy the world as it did in Munich in 1938.

He appeased a dictatorship, didn't he?
The West can't do it right in your eyes it seems...
What do you think the freedom hungry and desperate iranian youth will think of Ukrainians
being friends of their opressors?

Why not support the Iran dictator?

Well, Germany's policy can't, that's for sure. I am not proud of Ukrainian politics millions time more. But I am against it and someday I will be proven right.

Proven about what Nathan?
That at one time Russia will not be the big looming shadow? That Ukraine can ignore it???

Well....Problems don't go away pretending they don't exist! ;)

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

It occurred to me that Polish doesn't retain the V like many other languages, and perhaps that is the Germanization of the name???

"V" is not German either...the "W" is native here too.
"V" is nearly always the Anglicised version of the old central European "W". Being
adapted to the Anglo speaking USA.

So Viludski has been most probably a Wiludski back home in the old world! ;)

News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [203]

it is just that BB thinks that Russia is the only leader in the region and the rest of the Slavs need it so much as a leader to properly represent themselves in front of good, old Europe. I disagree with that.

I disagree with that too and that wasn't what I've said.

But for me and many others Russia is the biggest country with the most natural wealth, which makes at an automatical top dog.

Surely that doesn't makes it an automatical leader, especially if you know their history.

Buuut....there are also countries in the neighbourhood who have nothing against Russian leadership, having still strong ties.

My point was that there is no real counterpoint to see inside the slavic world to Russia. It's mostly either pro-russian countries or anti-russian countries but it's more or less all about Russia in the end.

It is the big looming shadow nobody can escape.

So..to use Kissingers famous words..."When I want to call the slavic world, which number should I select?"
