History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]

Why do you think that I personally have to pay something?

Personally or with Canada's gold I don't care which. As for why - because you side not only with Russia but also with Soviets for some F up reason. You need to be aware there is no roses without thorns.

drunk!

I don't drink, not really, just a sip now and then. We can have an apple juice or some mead (13% of alcohol). Alternatively a glass of beer or two.

wander what account to Poland could they issue for devastation of Russia by Poland in 1611

Dude I don't know if you are ignorantly or you just playing dumb but lets go for it. Let calculate everything and see who is to pay up big time. I assure you it wouldn't be Poland. Anyway I was talking only about WWII loses as they attacked Poland while breaking pact of no-aggression and without declaration of war, not to mention ethnic cleansing, robbery, destruction and genocide all done by the Soviets gov.

You can pay from Canada, I don't mind gold is gold.
As for Smolensk, that is the commonwealth city, has been for centuries. Russia starts east from Smolensk. Phew Soviets' dumbed down their people big time. In white Russia it was a common knowledge.

I dunno the numbers....the german borders have been always very fluid! :)

I have checked he numbers for you. It is about 25%. The reason I asked is simple. To compare losses.
Poland lost to Soviets about 48% of pre-war territory. Numbers are important - now we can talk rather than chat about all issues. :)

in large numbers till 1939 out of country?

Not really. Most of the migration happened between 1870 - 1914. Then after 1945. There is no 11 millions Polish in the USA. Those are people with Polish ancestors that somewhat are aware of t he fact. Anyway what that has to do with anything?

Emigration, immigration those are separate issues. We are talking about serfs who risked their limbs and oft lives to ESCAPE, then cross the border in hope of becoming serfs but in Poland. Do I need it spell it for you in a big letters?

Being a serf in Poland was so attractive to serfs in Russia that they took a big risks to go for it. Meaning being a serf suck but being a serf in Russia suck big time times 100.

By the way what about compensation to Poland form Russia for all that s..t? You have plenty of gold mines time to pay up!

And now Poles vote with their feet running out of Poland.

Curtesy of Soviet Russia, not only those scum f.. up their own country, they had to go and f it up some other country that has nothing to do with them and their sh..t,, should pay compensation in gold.

By the way, do not move goalpost here. We were talking about serfs and a fact that those serfs in Russia dreamed about being serfs in Poland. That's telling.

If "voting with their feet" really is a criteria then Germany

Well, Poland had been the most loved country in Europe a one time, especially by Germans.:) Given amount of German immigrants that moved into Kingdom of Poland.

By the way BB do you recall what percentage of the pre-war territory German lost to Poland?

Were there many cases when Russians expelled Polish landlords and farm owners from their lands? I

Only if they 'rebel' against tzar. It that way Old Russia was better than (some other ways too) Soviets, Soviets were/are utter scum.

Still, slaves from Russia were voting with their feet, they rather be ;slaves' in Poland than in Russia.

But even though Ukrainian

Ukrainian and Polish 70%, Ukrainian Russian 50%.

the USSR does not exist, so neither to Soviets.

Sure they exist, you are one of them.

A troll is a person who lies to rile up.

You have admitted as much before, on this very forum or was it a lie too? Which means ....da dam ...you ARE a T to the T.

By the way I don't care IF you love Putin or s. his D.

More PiS propaganda from Ironside.

So what exactly are you saying? There is no ecological catastrophe? PO mayor is not a mayor of Warsaw. Lech Kaczynski is the one to balme even he is dead. Has beenfor years. Are we talking about return of a zombie?

Give up you are a joke.

you don`t care about the Polish financial situation

No, I could as well start a threat - How could pawian better spend his money?
What is the point in such a subject but political propaganda.

How about incompetence of a mayor of Warsaw?

Ecological catastrofe in Warsaw due to incompetence of PO mayor of the city. His antics and lies.

News / PiS candidates are losing positions in EU Parliament. Will they keep power in Poland? [358]

I'll be delighted if Konfederacja doesn't cross the 5% treshold.

Why? Is that makes any sense? Brickering. It is pathetic.

but Ruch Narodowy appears

If you don't know don't make guesses - that is sad.

Few people heard about Jurek's new party. So good luck to them, they seemingly have no Chance but all best, fight.

As to pawian he is a Soviet, a waste of space.

Oh preteding not to take sides are you? That is pretty pathetic.

Will the latest criminal scandal by PiS have influence on the voters?

What scandal? Gossip? Some woman talk some BS and you jump on it like a hungry rat. It is in the same category like all those Trump's scandal which came to nothing.

On the other hand PO Berejza gate is pretty much a fact. After two years of an investigation.

And to be clear.... PO (as bad as they are, which is.... pretttttttty bad) created a lot of the prosperity.

Dude you are clueless, sure PiS has some socialist attitude but it is on a different level. PO a gang of thieves if that for you equals with creating prosperity - no comment.

One more thing occured to me.

has not occured to you that your cliams are at the least in the same category as what you call propaganda. YI You ou claim you tell the truth and PiS lies. Phew! you have been telling lies before so your credibility is low. If you compare PiS and PO and their record so far there is no doubt that PO looses big time. It is not a secret hence PiS is supported by about 50% of the population.

History / Why Poles love Russia [105]

here are many words with common roots and origins.

So what?

History / Why Poles love Russia [105]

I think the most evident similarities should be linguistic, genetic and cuisine.

Let examine them:
linguistic - yes Polish and Russian are similar in that same way German and English are similar. Yet you wouldn't be understand each other without some acculturation or some basic studies.

Genetic - I don't know maybe. In my understanding before Russia stole lager part of the commonwealth and mass resettlement of people from one place to other, genetic make up of Russia was largely different to Polish, some overlapping possible due to areas of the commonwealth that has some population with Russian genetics.

Cuisine? That is the most fluid item on your list. that changes over the time. Yet I think that Russian cuisine and Polish one are different too.

News / PiS and Russian political/economic interests [70]

The EU took nothing.

No matter how you word it the end rersult is the same. By the way dealing with a country ruled by post-commies must be tempting, Yet from the moral point of view it stinks, it is like taking advatage from a teendage girl shamlessly and if chalnged give an aswer - she asked for it.

you take an argumentative licking every week from me

Man, you're seriously delusional. That is a borderline mental illness. Anyway to take to the hearth nonsense you spew here all the time I would have to respect you more than something I have stepped in by accident.. As it is chirp away happily. If you ever muster some argument, make sure to let me know.

That would have been much slower,

Slower would mean overaly healthier and more all-around economy.

Political benefits from being a part of the EU are to be weighted against political and economical disadvantages. In my opinion those benefits are not that great.

You seem to be lacking a lot of insight into Poland,

I'm not talking about political rhetoric or even concerns in Poland. I'm talking about German on it.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

Poland on [...] was still the same country, and even excluding other considerations, it is easy to see why the leading communists were not prosecuted.

Indeed. However presenting such a sorry state of affairs as a good thing or somewhat desirable is an entirety different story. It taking delusional to a new even higher degree. It is understandable why those who benefited from those rotten circumstances would like to justify it and paint a pretty picture whilst maintaining their unearned positions. Yet, I have difficulty to grasp how an average person can believe those lies. Its degrading.

See here:

I had to call you a liar and manipulator

Degrading to the point that person seemly otherwise intelligent and educated are acting irrationally. They look as if they were no longer a person but a one big fat joke - a caricature. Its self-inflicted - mostly.

News / PiS and Russian political/economic interests [70]

What they write makes perfect sense.

I sure it does to you as you are not impartial.

Poland's security depends on its' integration into the Western world,

It is a nice sounding slogan but it doesn't mean anything. After all the EU takes away Poland's independence and instead make some promises that are rather vague.

Integration into the west could mean building up Poland's economy and trade with EU countries. Open Polish market without any restriction to western companies is an opposite of buffing up Poland's economy.

By underminig the EU, PiS is acting for the Kremlin.

Since when Germany has issues with Russia. If anything it is your dreamed economic partner, strengthen those ties by building north stream II, recently. the Kremlin is a boogieman Germans like to use on Poland for coercing reasons.

The only way Russia became an issue for Poland IF Germany would join forces with it. In that scenario it is not PiS that undermines the EU.

@pawian @ziemowit as you have nothing to say bedside some boring tripe - why don't you shut up your silly yokel's mugs while grow ups are talking?
