News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Well, good question. Would you in the nice global position you are in now without the US rebuilding Germany?

Well...without the US meddling in WWI there wouldn't had been any rebuilding necessary...

We will never know what would had happened...

He's quite pro-Russia

I'm pro peaceful Europe...I will bitch about every troublemaker! Be he/she polish, german or russian!

Well that's kind of true to a point but you guys sunk the Lusitania

The Lusitania was smuggling weapons....
And...was it worth it?

BB, what are you talking about? Be grateful for US intervention. They tipped the balance twice. Do you really think that the Allies would've won the war without them?

Why should I be grateful?

The allies won the first war only with the help of the US.
That didn't stop the french and the british to vomit the treaty of versailles what made some painter in Vienna so mad that he decided to go into politics.

You were saying?

You help Europeans out - They hate you.
You don't help Europeans out -They hate you.

That's just not true!
There are people in Europe who hate the US as a full time job and nothing what
the Americans will ever do will change their opinion. But you can forget about them!
Then there are those who just have different opinions and like/dislike Washingtons policies.
And last but not least there is the broad mass who don't give a sh*it at all!

It's cheaper to do nothing.

But that is certainly true...without the US meddling in WWI for example, there wouldn't had been WWII...it was not the most smartest thing to do!

The fact is that Germany pursues an unreasonable and destructive policy,

Really!

and should be opposed with all tools available or the consequences will be severe to the entire Europe Germany included.

...then you better invent a better alternative to russian resources soon!

Why do you like so much to compare some bygone superpowers with the actual state of affairs?

Ja...a main argument one hears quite often but it get's tiring after 60sumthin years.
Welcome to 2009 Poland!

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Agreed about the past!

But times have changed and it just isn't in Germany's national interest anymore to invade and to destroy another potential customer market for our products. Quite the contrary is the case..to buy our goods we need happy, prospering people with their bags full of money, you understand?

And why should Russia attack and try to invade Germany???

There won't be any war between us anymore...

As there were always a 'difficulties' in communication between our countries (were there ever any communication platforms?) , I stated that there are no communication platform for Poles and Germans nowadays in my opinion.

Okay, then WHAT is a "communication platform" in your eyes?
Does Steinmeier visiting Sikorski in his private home count? Does the Weimar triangle count? What?

If they describes themselves as a Germans they are not Poles but Germans, sounds reasonably enough to you?

Nope...that's those about 3 millions who see themselves as Poles, hence Polonia.
There are so man polish surnames, so many 'skis in Germany, that's far more than only 3 millions...

That is why I put a census between pre-nazi and after-nazi Germans...

No you don't! Your

I just think that there is no communication platform for Poles and the Germans.

...was quite generally!

BTW: The second largest Polonia is in the UK.

Well...that is a quite recent development then! :)
But do you have numbers? Wiki says this:

Estimates for the total number of people living in the UK and born in Poland, or of Polish descent vary significantly. The figure has been quoted as 600,000 (February 2007)[10] and "well over a million" (October 2007),[11] but more recently it is reported that the numbers are decreasing.[12]

and

The second largest Polonia in the world, and the largest in Europe, is the Polish German community. As many as three million people living in Germany may be of Polish descent, although the vast majority of these identify themselves as Germans. The main Polonia organization is Kongres Polonii Niemieckiej / Polnischer Kongress in Deutschland. Polish surnames are very common in Germany.

Boy Rafal...our peoples live since millenias side by side, there is barely another peoples with so much interaction and mixing!

Lot's of Poles lived and live in Germany forever...ever heard of Klose and Podolski? And the coach of your successful handbal team learned the game in Germany and even played for the german national team before and that are just a few actual examples.

Polonia in Germany is the second largest in the world and the largest in Europe...it can't be all that bad, can't it!

Get a grip man!

I'm not killing anyone. I am just asking a questions...

No you don't!
You are talking all the time how you can't communicate with Germans...how will you ever find answers then? You are not interested in the first place, you prefer to wallow in generalizations and bombastic phrases, still seeing the modern Germany as Nazi state...remember our last discussion!

You said you "endured" one year in Hamburg but you have prejudices like someone who never set a foot into Germany. You are perfectly happy with the "bad Germans"!

I can't believe I was so wrong about you. You're so cute and delectable (I hope I'm tolerant and bright enough now ;-])

Well...it's never to late!

Funny thing: Whenever I met a German on the forum and someone mention a WWII topic all of them (Germans) swears that their predecessor were fighting against the regime.

You don't know many Germans, do you....till some years back resistance or deserters were seen as traitors in the broad german public, it's only changing slowly...well...with resistance as Stauffenberg anyhow....

Deserters have still a hard stand!

How old are you?

Not old enough to remember the war and I doubt you are!

As for Germans. We just don't understand each other, we don't have a 'common language' and I doubt we ever will.

Well, millions of Poles who came to Germany over the centuries, settled here and assimiliated might think differently...

It takes a special closed mind to hate whole peoples and to believe neighbours can't understand each other....you have a long way to go still!

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [450]

Till you bring a link for this I rather tend to think your prof meant this study:
(and it's not talking about polish women)
independent.co.uk/news/science/the-face-of-the-future-why-eurasians-are-changing-the-rules-of-attraction-523076.html

...But new research appears to turn this theory on its head. Scientists now believe that people of mixed race, particularly Eurasians, possess certain genetic advantages that lead to greater health and, as a result, increased attractiveness.

Then there is that:
guardian.co.uk/science/2008/jul/22/sciencenews.psychology

Psychology: People in wealthy areas perceived to be most attractive

This:
telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/3349823/Why-short-women-with-long-legs-are-the-most-attractive.html

Short women with long legs are the most naturally attractive to men, according to a new study.

And of course this:

Travel / Entering Poland from Germany on the A4 motorway [23]

Just wondering how you felt about Turks running businesses in Germany.

It ain't the quiet, industrious taxpayer running businesses who are a problem in Germany...

And you think they don't buy them now?

Erm...they can buy what and where they want.
But the business between Russia and Germany is excellent!
As long as they pay they get their goods - that's the market laws..
You should tell Ukraine about these basics sometimes!

and it is paradoxical that it's pinning it's hopes that in future such things will not happen, on a direct gas pipeline from Russia - Germany

Not "paradoxical" - logical!

I don't give a damn if Ukraine really paid or not

Well...that's the core of the whole bruhaha!
You should think about it before you start to throw around your political blames...

And the german doggies will obey...

Maybe we should then just cut off our negotiated delivery of german goods? :)

Because that's what this "leash" is about. They pay good money for "Made in
Germany"!

Putin admitted that it was Russia who completely shut down the ukraine pipe.
So...any comments? from his faithful German lackeys, perhaps?

He didn't had anything to admit Rys...it was announced before that Russia would do it as it is their right.
You can't really expect an unpaid free ride for Ukraine, don't you?

Do they still dream that when they build their uber baltic pipe, it would protect them from anything?

Well...we would pay accordingly to the treaties so we would get our gas, it's actually a good thing for all sides concerned, ya know?

Russia is not trustworthy partner for any serious business

Remind me again...who is not paying???

Oh and Germany is Russias biggest trading partner in Europe..we make serious good business quite well, thank you!

Because if Russians shut down the pipe like this today, they can - and will - do it tommmorow. Anytime, anyplace, if only they find it advantageous for their imperialistic politics.

...or if you don't pay the negotiated price!
