Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

By nationality law, yes, a PolAm is considered to be Polish

Really?
I am of pure Polish descent and yet I am regarded as British.
Do Pole Ams really have more rights than Anglo Poles?

back to the topic everyone, please

Am Poles are intolerant, biased etc etc. Real Poles here are the opposite

Just not true I'm afraid.
Only true on this forum.
Real Poles, in real life are just as intolerant, biased and bigoted as AM Poles.
Get used to it.
Because it ain't gonna change anytime soon.....

I am truly stuck in the middle here.
Why are Poles and Brits so antagonistic towards Yanks?
And why are Yanks so antagonistic towards Poles and Brits?
I love Poles, Brits and Yanks and this all seems pretty stupid to me.

If you read back, he is talking about about the difference between real Poles and Pole-Ams on this forum, not generally

I stand corrected :-)
But that means this forum does not truly reflect reality.

I have to say that is not my experience of Poles.
Most Poles I know are fairly intolerant,uptight, not as open minded as West Europeans, not particularly humanistic and quite prejudiced.
Having said that, I wouldn't change a thing.
Poles are just fine as they are.

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]

And the allies in the west didn't invade?

The British did not stay for nearly fifty years like The Russians did.

What would you count as "ready"? They invaded the Saar territory!

French arrogance.It was a half hearted invasion which they never backed up with the force they intended.
It cost The French and The Poles dear.

Did the treaty say " we will help you only if we judge that we are ready"?

The agreement was not specific.

It contained promises of mutual military assistance between the nations and for Britain and Poland to "consult together on measures to be taken in common".

Don't forget that Britain declared war on Germany and lost many civilian as well as military lives as a result.

The French were never ready, which is why The Germans conquered them so easily.
As for The Maginot line, been there, seen it, Verdun especially, what a waste of time!
The British were ready by the summer of 1940 when they started bombing Germany.

The Anglo-French were not ready as you well know.
The French knew they were in a war when German tanks rolled over their border and The British knew they were in a war when the bombs started dropping.

I can still remember, as a kid, being driven through parts of London that were full of bombed out houses.

The Americans and Brits claim they liberated Europe, conveniently forgetting the sacrifice of the Soviets.

The Russian sacrifice was not to "Liberate" but to invade.

Funny but most Russians believe the war started in 1941 when the USSR was attacked by Germany

Russians have always loved to twist history for their own benefit.
They are still doing it now.
And there are some morons on here that still watch and even believe RT!!! LOL !!!

Food / What Polish foods do foreigners generally not take to? [139]

Not only in America, it is called fromage de tĂȘte in France

And Brawn in England :-)

I too like many of these offal based dishes,Polish Salceson and Galareta and French Andouille too.

My Mum used to make Galareta from a whole pigs head, seasoned with salt, pepper and vinegar and served with some good quality bread it was a meal on it's own.

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]

Poland got loans from the West German government in 1970s

They should never have been loans.
They should have been compensation.

Life / Tap Water quality in Poland [44]

Tap water in Poland used to be terribly awful some time ago

Strangely enough, the one place I was warned most not to drink tap water (by Poles) was Warsaw.
Yet I found the tap water there OK.
Mind you, we all know that Poles are terible hypochondriacs..... ;-)

Life / Tap Water quality in Poland [44]

Coz you sounded as if you had ventured on a tap water check expedition all over Poland

Well I didn't.
As I said, Polish tap water is perfectly safe to drink, but in some places it tastes like s**t.

Life / Tap Water quality in Poland [44]

I meant - did you visit a few dozen places in Poland and tried tap water there

I didn't like the taste of the water in Krakow or in Bialystok.
But as I said, it is safe to drink.
Why in the hell is this such a big deal for you?
