News / Poland Parliamentary Elections 2019 [93]


My history of Poland is fine until 1966. I lived there right in Radom and Warsaw. We had electricity, radio, and the newspapers. For the more curious, Radio Free Europe on the short waves in spite of the jamming transmitters.

What I object to is any insinuation that the German and the Soviet presence in Poland were equivalent. Not even million to one. The fact is I never saw Soviet anything in my entire life in Poland.

How many Poles were killed by the Germans and how many by the Soviets? And I don't mean their Polish collaborators, so don't go there.

They were as overwhelming as NAZIs as Poles were overwhelming as communists. How many Germans smiled when Hitler was on the radio because they were scared to death not to? How many Americans supported that sick "police action" in Vietnam? Try 70%! But we don't discuss their party affiliations.

Who nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The Americans or the Democrats?
Milo is spot on. Germany owns it, line and hook. That "bad Germans" and "good Germans" play is just a ploy to whitewash and appease.

I have no horse in the race, but I am happy to see this instead of that sick 49-51 American crap. That's what we call a mandate. Great day for Poland, come what may.

Sorry, I shouldn't have been that pithy. In the US, DA stands for district attorney, a prosecutor. So, let me try one more time.

As a judge, I would be irate at the prosecutor for bringing a case like this to me.

I hope this clears it up.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]

Clear first. Expressive is second - if not lower - and reserved for the linguistic snobs at the seminars with other linguistic snobs where they try to impress one another with the multisyllable words last used 147 years ago.

I forgot to mention cheese, wine, and a cozy fireplace...


It's hard to be objective when reviewing yourself, but I don't think my English is any worse than anybody's here. Do you think yours is better than mine? It is not. Just read your last post and you will instantly see why.

People who value time talk straight and to the point. Like me. Freaks and snobs delight in stealing another man's time by meandering, implying, suggesting and talking in riddles. Communicating is not figure skating.

please back to the topic of this thread

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]

That's just bad English. How about, "be a nice guy and leave me alone". Too simple?
Why is everybody looking for a deeper meaning or some fancy explanation to crap talk.

How about we know this only from the cases involving deadbeat dads, never moms. as an unabbreviated version.
Nothing especially American or NY.

That defense would work very well with me as the presiding judge. In fact, I would throw something heavy at the DA for wasting my time.

In the land of the insane, that defense would not be acceptable because you are supposed to be extra sensitive and remember every single injustice committed against blacks since 0001.

Luckily, we can't see that tint here.

Genealogy / Any Pole with predominant Black or African ancestry? [26]

That would not be so bad. The implication from what you wrote - and I know you didn't mean it - is that being black and intelligent is noteworthy because it's rare.

If you google racist compliments, you will get the sense where the sensitivities are. At least here.

Other than that, you are fine. Since you are Polish and white, that was not a left-handed ethnic compliment.

So, the part that was missing in your sentence was: And looked very intelligent for a black guy.
And that is what 99% here would add in their minds.

Any Americans here to help pawian before I do? It seems that this PC riddle is too hard for him to figure out.
BTW, I still like you, so it's nothing personal. I am just having fun with the PC morons out there who brought us all to the brink of insanity.

Genealogy / Any Pole with predominant Black or African ancestry? [26]


Pawian, pawian, my dear progressive friend, do you know that in the land of loons - that would be Canada, the EU, and the US - what you wrote would get you fired?

This is how far the pc cancer has gone, with no cure in sight.

Being intelligent as you are, I will let you figure out what is missing in the second sentence to dispel any doubts that you are a hardcore racist.

Life / How would you describe the Polish sense of humour? [66]


"Polish sense of humor" is too inclusive since women have none.
God has given the sense of humor almost exclusively to men. With one exception: Jewish loud mouth broads with NY wiseguy accent.

I wonder if the "we need them for the expanding economy" geniuses are now trying to deport those "oh, so badly needed" migrants.
Or would that be a violation of their civil rights? I mean their rights to welfare checks.

Life is funny how it works. In the town of a thousand houses, it's the one that is on fire we notice, not the 999 that are not.


I hate stupid. In this case, they happen to be Polish. No bias.
Actually, "stupid" is too mild here because these moronic vandals can't claim anything as the reason. No slavery, no communist oppression, no sexual assaults or bad childhood. Just being Polish.


Those are clean because there is money to be made there and there is somebody to clean up. Plus, they all look like ours here in the US. Including store names and the ads.

Character is what you do when nobody is watching. That is what Poles do when nobody is watching.

From pawian: Spray paint was hardly available in communism.

We had buckets and brushes. Mindless vandalism was not invented along with spray paint.

No problem...except that the built dates are not what you want.
I used to live there. I guess paint was expensive then 'cause those walls used to be clean. Boring and clean. Or was it because the commies had less sense of humor or forgiveness and didn't consider such things as art or civil rights.

Did Poland join that stupidity of 99-ing prices, too?

I consider it a personal insult, as this idiocy presumes that I am not smart enough to know that 9.99 is 10.

In the last 10 years, Poland's per capita GDP did not increase at all. Neither did Germany's. French actually went down.

In the court-ordered child support.
Women are stupid enough to keep the kids. All of that would stop if the guys knew in advance that they would be the mommies with formulas and diapers while the women would be free to resume their careless lives as soon as they deliver. Which is the case now, except in reverse.

Yes - unless she was raped. What they do is get drunk, fu*ck, and are later shocked they are pregnant. Then, they form a metoo movement which defines rape as an explicit consent while 100% sober. Even with that, the guy is not off the hook because she will claim that he was such a charmer and manipulator that she couldn't resist, so it's his fault.

Yesterday, I watched an interview with one of Epstein's "victims". On her first visit, she was asked to "massage" the guy, had intercourse with him, got paid 200 bucks and was asked to come back tomorrow. I will let you guess if she did.

When asked "why did you come back", two things happened. She put that deer in the headlights face on and I stopped watching. I can take only so much bull***** per minute.

Pawian, you are disappointing me. Hahaha means funny. I know you can do better than that.

Language / Dziadzia / Babcia - help me with spelling/pronunciation [81]

Give it up. Women create their own private baby talk that is very loosely connected to the adult version. Most likely, they wouldn't know how to spell what they say.

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [437]


It's so because these scumbags moved to the UK to exploit it, not make the UK their new home. Get rid of them asap.


And that is why the Brits should do everything in their power to kick those scumbags out. By force and intimidation if necessary.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]


The fact that I left Poland with a smile 50 years ago doesn't mean I am not curious what's happening there now. Some who survived visit Auschwitz.

Your list would suggest that the persons with such characteristics are bad people.
What if a guy is intolerant of corruption, uptight about debasing society's traditional moral values, not open minded to normalizing perversions, and prejudiced to the foreigners looking for welfare. Is he a bad person?

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]


We emigrate not to stay in touch. If I wanted to stay in touch, I would have stayed. That train out of Warsaw in 1966 was not moving fast enough.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

I know you are trying to make me feel important and I appreciate it. The truth is that 90% of Americans are idiots all on their own.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]


Nothing easier.

It is so because I came to America when America was America only to watch America leave me to start morphing into a socialist crap I left in the communist Poland some fifty years ago with one huge disadvantage Poland did not suffer from then: millions of lesser foreigners flooding in to replace the aborted American babies and thus creating grounds for a single-party soft dictatorship.

Brilliantly explained in one sentence.

There are many 4k videos from Poland and, specifically, from Warsaw. I really like this stuff, so I will watch it on my TV later. Thanks.

Those shot from low flying drones are really amazing.
