Language / Your perception of the Polish accent [145]
English - high brow when RP is used, or most Souther areas such as Conrwales, choppy, almost choking sounds in other dialects
Scottish - I have to listen in for a few seconds to decide whether I'm supposed to answer in English or in German.
American - South States -lazy, somewhat primitive, North intelligible, something I'm used to (Baltimore sounds pretty UK-ish, NYC sounds hilarious to me, kinda like Czech to Polish speakers)
Australian - simple, good hearted :)
Jamaican - that one is a very easy accent since they only use two words; ya man.
I shall briefly turn the question around.
What do Polish people think of the way English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, American, Australian, Jamaican people learning Polish sound?

Food / Poland Spirytus recipes [39]
1 liter of 95% spirit
1 kg of sugar
1 kg of walnuts
3 liter glass jar (do not use plastic or metal)
walnuts cannot be ripe and have hard shells. They need to be harvested when the shell can still be cut with a knife.
Chop the walnuts into little squares, use rubber/latex gloves unless you fancy dark brown fingers and finger nails for weeks afterwards. Food processors are OK too, but plastic parts may become permanently stained.
place chopped walnuts in the jar
pour spirit and sugar over the walnuts. no stirring is necessary.
cover the neck of the jar tightly (or else the spirit will evaporate)
set aside in a dark, cool spot for 3 or more months.
separate the walnuts matter from the rest; using cheese cloth seems to work well.
simple, yummy
small shots (25g) are good for cold days.

Love / What are the best love poems in Polish to receive? [77]
If the moment is right and both of you feel romantic you may write this:
"Pieszczone piersi, najprzedniejsze ciało,
o wyglądacie spod gorsów niewiele
od was miłości me serce zarwało,
wy moich oczu jesteście dwa cele.
Muzom by śpiewać o was należało,
lecz że was kocham, i ja się ośmielę,
bym waszą piękność wyraził, jak mogę,
choć to was widzieć do woli nie mogę…"
(Adam Korczyński)
If she slaps you then go for this:
" Brzydkie cycuchy, najplugawsze ciało,
co to wisicie jako dwa harbuzy,
na womit mi się, widząc was, zebrało,
bo u piekielnej takie są Meduzy…
straszliwe bomby, na których kto patrzy,
musi koniecznie w tył oczy odwrócić…
karczemne dudy, wieśniackie dunice,
brzydkie, głogawe, chropawe cyce!..."

There is a difference between bad things happening and bad things being a result of a policy and orders. German soldiers have been always undoubtedly subordinate so they followed the Fuhrer's words:
"Kill without mercy every man, woman, and child of Polish extraction."
Every army in a conflict does bad things...but the Wehrmacht was neither better nor worse than others.

Nothing to do with that. Truth is truth and that's all. Just like 2+2=4, even though I have no special preferences towards the number 4.
That may be. Especially that Americans couldn't sometimes discern between Germans (Deutsch) and Dutch :)

The choice of language was just one part of the so called "American war for independence". This war had its significant cultural aspect. The colonists, now calling themselves Americans, changed whatever they could, and where things couldn't be changed because Americans simply didn'r have their own material (local legends and myths, for instance) they invented them. A good chunk of early American lit. was pretty much "tailored to size", so to speak. Rip Van Winkle, or Hawthoirne's novels were results of that struggle. Yup, these literary pieces had a purpose that went beyond the need to tell a story. They were designed to create a nation's sense of tradition.
Less than 100 years later Americans were buying entire European castles and transporting them back to the US brick by brick.
Yeah, the Brits sure showed them, huh? :))
I thought it was obvious. Isn't it?

The UK lost the war of independance as we did not see it economicaly viable at the time. As a result we cut off the resources: namely, finance, weapons and infantry.

First, I didn't say USA defeated tha Nazism. Second, the US had been an English colony about 250 years ago. Since then is has became an independent country which svered its ties with England. They did it consciously.
UK taught America nothing. America wanted nothing to do with UK, and they even tried to change the language. German lost to English by 1 (one!!!) vote. Classical Greek was among the languages proposed. You are dwelling on glories long gone and you are trying to make it sound like USA is owing UK something. They don't. The colonists drove the English out in a military conflict. Which part of this don't you understand?
The US was created by immigrants from all over the world. Immigrants just like you and me.

as there is no longer the need for the under classes to be sent of to do battle on the front, is there not a strong argument to be made for enforced sterilisation amongst the lower classes... we no longer need them to die for us on the battle field and, in the uk at least, many of them do not want to work and are a burden on the state

Yes, it was but the "cannon fodder" part in WB's post applies as much to Poles as it does to Brits. And that was my point.
British tactics was indeed good at times. It is regrettable that it sucked in the years leading to WW2.
After that, tactics had little application in the opening days of WW2. What tactics do you use when your forces are just a fraction of the enemy's and the attack is sudden? The only thing Poles could do was fight, and they did. No other country, before the attack on the USSR (which had the West's help) gave this kind of resistance and inflicted that much damage to German forces as Poles in 1939.
but according to you this was the winning tactic

You saved nobody.
Your ancestors, however, managed to convince Americans and other nations to help them out. If in 1939 with the force that Hitler used to invade Poland then the Brits would stand no chance.
At that without being attacked by the USSR at the same time.
Do you realize that over 40% of UK's military inteligence was provided by Poles? Without that the only tactic the Brits would have been able to afford would be to go beg American for help harder than they did.

Germans fought UK (and the rest of Western Europe) with one hand, and not the good one at that.
