News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [354]

they should skip this all cringe funeral,and just wait for Adamowicz Assumption into Heaven.

Oh pipe it down you cry baby. Take your ass into shape rather than vent your frustration on the internet. If you want to address some issues do it in a manner that adults do rather than resort to that useless, childish sarcasm.

How did he do that?

How do you think? If you don't even know that what do you know that makes you asking those dumb, loaded and patronizing questions? eh?

I know that, but I would like to know how extremists justify the murder of a politician

Do you? How do you know? did you know him personally? Do you keep taps on local politics in Poland? How the hell do you know it? Unless you surprise with an actual answer let assume that you don't know that. In fact you know F all about it bar what you have found out there in the 'liberal' i.e. biased and oft lying media. Not even in the POLISH liberal media but in the foreign ones. sheesh ...

Ad2. How Am I justifying the murder? in the same way Lyzko takes anything you say as If you were the Nazi sympathizer or whatnot, with so called loose associations. That is not healthy.

I said that some people liked him and same didn't like him. I don't have to pretend that I liked him as a public figure just because he was killed. Is such a display of hypocrisy a must?

Its already taken it pollical turn and so called liberals who wouldn't care rat's ass of the dude were dead or alive or hardly hared about him are using this opportunity to connect some mentally ill person with those who don't share their Bolshevik views of the world. What an Orwellian World we live in.

Are you insulting the people of Gdansk

Do you find facts insulting Dougie? Is the fact that sun rise in the east and sets in the west is somehow insulting to you? If not, why are you rumbling on? Are you intoxicated already to spew such a incoherent nonsense?

Adamowicz's affiliation with a political party (one demonized by the government) as his motivation...

Really? So now motivations a mentally ill ex-con are crucial to the issue because .....? You think its crucial? U Want to curtail free speech and ban a political debate just in case some unstable or mentality ill person takes it the wrong way and might possibly attack somebody. Are you really an American?

How about individual responsibility for one deeds and actions?

When you start a smear campaign against someone (there were about 20 "reports" on public TV recently

If you don't like heat get out of the kitchen. Nobody forced him to involve in politicks or became a mayor eh? All those things are just given, a job description. Jarek Walesa talked about his 'suitcases full of money' is he a part of the conspiracy too?

I understand he was your 'father' figure or whatnot.
Yet, what are you doing here is just adding fuel to a fire. People like you are a part of the problem not a solution.

Over 50% of the Danziger voted for him

In Poland about 30% to 45% people take a part in local elections. So 50% of those numbers doesn't equate with 50% voters in Gdansk. Far from it.

Inviting Germans to meddle into Poland's internal affairs? A visible sign what a great man he was.

======

@Torq

Sure you loved him. Fair enough. I'm not even surprised as I know somewhat your views on issues. Thing is lots of people didn't like him or to word it better - didn't like his deeds, attitude nor his conduct as a public figure.

You are clearly a Kaczynski man,

is thread is about Owsiak criminal responsible for dead of city

Dude, just stop it. You're incoherent.

Lets wrap it up and say that both of them i.e. a deceased mayor and Owsiak are/were not a good men, neither of them would have won a honesty and transparency award.

2 hour hate against Goldstein (aka Donald Tusk)?

, what should be examined is the Polish right wing.

Nah, all commies like you should be deal with in a commie style.

It was a politically motivated hate crime

That or what I said. To work up a crazy person is not that difficult. Those who wanted to get rid of the mayor - a man who knew too much. Is a possibility.

clear that in addition to official party members there was a group of people with informal contacts (sort of insulation between the party and non-party members).

Dude who cares at this point? Eh? Not even Kiszczak or other monsters have been touched. So what is the point of looking for some vague association?>

Are you like some 'smart' American who said that poles should strike or at lest demonstrate against the Nazi's anti-Semitic policies in German occupied Poland. The fact they didn't is a final proof they agreed with such a policy? Real smart.

Sure, it should be examined. It could be some shady contacts dead mayor had with mafia. They might be worried that he will rat on them if persecution would put pressure on him.

News / WOSP in Poland [161]

The President of Gdańsk has been stabbed on stage at the WO

hmm ....isn't the duty of the organizer to provide security for the event. If not I suppose the mayor has his onw team, I'm not surprised by the lax security and low standards those two organization brings to the table. I'm sure there will be more of hysterical yapping and finger pointing and every each moron will blame his or her pollical foe. That is all BS.

Let's face facts - they have low security standards. losers.

Genealogy / Birth in Lviv in 1926: Polish or Ukrainian nationality? [29]

Well 1916 it was the WWI. Those territories have seen some fighting between Russia and Austria - Hungary.
The birth certificate if survived would be stated according to religion. If a person in question was a Catholic you should look into records of the Catholic church from those territories', if not you should look accordingly.

By the way a city of Lwow.

would there have been any advantage of saying you were born there when possibly not?

Not in Poland. You're the only person who can answer that.

Love / Polish men are complete doormats (especially after they get married) [125]

It is a nature of mankind regardless of the nationality or a race.
Why not have it both ways? You can be practical and realistic and at the same time there could a real love and care involved. Sure thee some nasty exception but is not a brainier. Are you telling me that your hubby could be a bum from the street and you would just love him for his lovely eyes? nah!

You either are not married, divorced or you just like to look at everything with a skewed and somewhat unrealistic perspective.

History / Is there a list of those in the Polish Army during WWII? [195]

Kacykik

No way it is a Polish name. It is a string of random letters as far as I can say. If you have only it, just look for officers if you know his rank with the name Jeliński. I'm sure there are some records, if you don't know his rank and his first name is just a random string of letter it would make it more difficult to find out.

I guess the best option for you would be to hire someone.

History / Would Poland be better off if it had lost in the Polish-Soviet War? [44]

but "deeply rooted" is an exaggeration (and there's no single "european christianity")

'stems from' and it that sense is rooted in Christianity, whether it is deeply rooted or not is a question of perspective.

"European Christianity'- I was simplifying.

we are a simple people, we sit in the ditches and put beans in our ears....

oh shut up, it is as good generalization as there gonna be, a better one would be - self-centered. What one can learn in 300 years? Taking many issues and things for granted.

History / Would Poland be better off if it had lost in the Polish-Soviet War? [44]

bottom line is

is that you suck big time, geez why there is always an idiot and a looser in the room? Get your sh..t together and grow up.

Poland isn't nor was every westernised.

Poland's culture is a branch of the western civilization. Talking about westernization of Poland is a pure malarkey or/and ignorance.

two faced catholics

Being a Polish person is not limited to Catholicism, Poles can come in all shapes and forms. In fact plenty of them used to be Orthodox before Russia started playing its barbarian Mongolian games with a religion.

enlightenment ended, but the west is still shaped by the values it propogated:

nah, the west is not shapes solely by the enlightenment but also by the values that has brought enlightenment forward. All those values and motions which are deeply rooted in the European Christianity. Sadly people especially in USA know very little about it.

Look at their history. Peter the great turned Russia west while Poland didn't even exist.

look, yo know nothing, so stop talking about history you know next to nought about and go to back your books if you can read that is. Poland didn't exist during the reign of the Russian Peter? lol! Are you taking a mick or you are just a lazy troll?

By the way Poland's democratic system with freedoms and civic rights lost against centralized, totalitarian like states cased Poland to lose. Poland lost against tyrannical empires like Russian and Prussia. They used a moment of weakness to jump in as a pathetic vultures they were.

As a result there were two world's war that ravaged the glob.

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

Why not to create some powerful EU organization body

Are you for real?
EU is shrinking and divined onto two parts, a center where they do everything to keep their standards of living to keep people in line. In the contrast to countries in the eastern Europe which are treated as semi-colonies of the EU - mainly Germany.

That is a direction it all that goes.
You're babbling something about giving money to Ukraine? That country is not even a part of the EU. Run by the post-commie oligarchy (thieving few) who in their right mind would sink money into such a ****-hole?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Where do you live then?

I told you, don't ask, I don't tell. It ain't a requirement on this Forum.

You don't even respond to pm, (no manners), so don't ask questions that have little to do with the issue on hand.

Really?

Really. IF there was a choice i.e. people could own and quire guns without harsh restrictions then and only then their shopping habits would indicate whether they do not feel a need to buy a gun. Logic.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

First, referring to everyone you don't like as "soviet" is old and stale, buy a new vowel.

Is not about who a like or not. It is easier to describe all kind of culturally deprived people or people who have post-colonial mentality or those who were and are culturally soviets whether they realize or not. You cannot just erase those issues bevosue you don't like the term I'm suing or cause you don't understand it?.

After all lost of people are rooted culturally and mentally in PRL not in the Polish culture. Why you propose I call them? Is that even possible on the interact forum?

I measure them against standards of the Polish traditions, culture and history and if I find then lacking they end up being soviets and I think that is pretty solid measurement.

Foe example:
I have nothing against left as long as it is left they has been a part of the Polish tradition. Which in nutshell means - Poland needs to be independent first and leftist second.

a trend that shows no signs of abating (and can be directly tied to the church acting politically when/where a lot of people don't want it.

Eh.... is has nothing to do with politics, simply people do not bother to go to church. Majority of the Polish populace is very superficial when it comes to religion it is mostly custom, cultural thingy.

Those who are into religion or those who are more aware culturally have problem with bishops who are into progressives and left.

Also there is a lot of anti-clerical grumbling but it has always been a part of deal. Nothing new there - some foreigners take it as people turning away from the church lol1

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

Polish people only like the church

Polish people are divided on the issue, still is a far cry to anything you can see outside Poland.

Real Polish people i.e. with a modicum of education and some cultural awareness regardless of their political affiliation and religiousness are very much aware how much Polish nation and Polish history is intertwined with the religion. How much it owes to the church and how much it is a part of the fabric of what makes Polish people Polish.

Only foreigners, some Polish speaking soviets and other flotsam are those that have a problem with the issue or an axe to grind. Neo-Marxist or so called liberals with chip on their shoulder can just bugger off for a lack of the better word.

Hey those who are prattling about how religious and Catholic Poland is should aloe know what they are talking about. Comparing to what? Some religious and cultural wasteland in Germany or France - yes possibly. Poland doesn't differ much in that regard (religion)from the USA bar there much more denominations and all and sundry practices. Anyone can find what they are looking for.

Sign me up as a Russophile and a Putin admirer.

yes, no surprises here you're u pussie longing for a strong man.

Hey if you're so found of brutal and merciless totalitarian states why stop with Russia? I bet China would make a short work of all those Latin American weirds no poor people? Hell, even Saudi Arabia would just gun machine them down on the border. No so certain but hell maybe Turkey would do the same .....

So what make you pick Russia? I think that is a very good question so you better answer it right or don't answer at all.

Off-Topic / Russophiles can no longer defend their beloved Russians. [84]

Russians are not ethnically Slav......most of them are only culturally Slav.

like really? Slavic culture it could mean something even 1000 years ago or thereabouts, ethnicity doesn't mean that much as most of the eastern par of today Germany could be classified as such.

It is also true that Muscovites are mixed bunch with a lot of non Slavic tribes, it happened really early in their history.

All of it could be of some interest but that also is completely immaterial today.

If we are looking for some kind of lesson there is one - ethnicity is a distant second to civilization and culture.

I have found that people who are saying stuff like Russian are not Slavic. What they really mean is something else. They are saying that beside some superficial similarity and some DNA connections Russian and the Polish people belong to completely different civilizations/cultures.
