History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]


That remain to be seen. However I don't like a fact that the current gov in Poland supports Ukraine unconditionally and what more sends billions of dollar into the fry feeding oligarchy.

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


Sure thing that Poland can.


Stop this jealous mantra with homogeneous society. Poland is not a homogeneous society is clearly divided with different minorities in the pot. The fact that doesn't have tones of Africans, Arabs and what have you is due to history. There is no reason to rapidly change it all just because some globalists and enemies of the western and European civilization dreamed up another utopia. That includes bringing in millions of people from different countries into white, European, C, O or P countries.

How about Europeans take over south African or some Asian country eh?
Anyway anyone I welcome to settle as long a they take Polish values, religion and history as their own. Simple.

No, as the matter of fact Russia didn't change at all because its damn becuracracy was fighting back. It rather pulled the country down than a give up control an inch. The same with Soviets, same story, Gorbachev came like 30 or 40 years too late to make a difference.

Putin is going in the same direction, it ain't s bad till he at the helm but whoever comes after him will be either do beorucracy biding or go die. The only hope that Russia will develop some strong social movement with a solid support o the large chunk of the populace. Some kids and few intellectuals won't do.


Those are statuses of the Red Army - they were an enemy of Poland that attacked Poland on three occasion during the same 20th century. They made Poland into a soviet colony and their bayonets made it possible. Is that answer your question?

Cementers and places of burial of the red soldier are by and by left alone, In Russia proper their remains have been left on the fields as if they were animals. So, Why worry about statuses in a foreign country at all? Why not take care of the remains of your own fallen in your own county?

Cause it is used by Chekist Putin to play political games.


He ask Poles maf. That is quite clear. So out of the curtesy you could say what you are, before voicing you views.

Looking like damn Islamism - I sure hope it is not the case.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]


I'm afraid the onus is on Russia. I think there is no much they can do being from 1850 onwards a bureaucratic empire. They use to say that Prussia doesn't has military but the Prussian Army has a country.

Paraphrasing: Russian bureaucracy has a country and act in the short sided interest of it and damn the rest.

IF they change their paradigm, especially in their foreign policy, that would help immensely to improve relation with Poland.

Genealogy / Leszczynski surname, Balcerzak [51]


Doesn't ring a bell, a very atypical name. Are you sure you got it right?


Could you give us a timeframe? was it in 1910, 1930 or 1940? She could be from a noble family or not. You're right that many Jews converting to Catholicism took as their surnames the place they came from or a region hence Mazowiecki or Leszczynski could be a name of a Jewish origin.

On the other hand Leszczynski is a well know noble family from a region called wielkopolska that came to prominence in the beginning of the 18th century - briefly. Hard to tell really.

Also it doesn't necessary mean that Leszno has been founded by the Leszczynski family. They could drive the name from the main property they owned. A one thing is certain they are connected to the place and their are an old (ancient Polish noble family).


WTF? Poland had been funded on the Catholicism and European Christian culture. That had been a basis that formed Kingdom of Poland and later Commonwealth - a tolerant Polish culture rooted in Catholicism, a branch of western civilization in eastern Europe.

Growing up as an Anglophone you have picked up will nilly Protestant based anti-catholic propaganda and more than few prejudices produced by so called enlightenment age (18th).

By the way define VERY anti-Semitic? That somehow baseless statement is being repeated all over by people who really a VERY vague idea about history and no notion of historical truth.

I personally found VERY anti-Semitics certain circles of Polish-American, some of their views on the Jews expressed freely would have shocked an averaged out of the mill person in Poland. Not to mention views on Jews coming from a Palestinian community.

All in all Some Jews are giving a tit for tat if not more...

I have no way knowing your age. You could be 20 or you could be 60 that would place your ancestor in a different timetable and in different circumstances. You need to give me a date, approximately, and I'll tell you ( approximately) what your gran have been doing in Lithuania.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


Where is your source to support hat claim. Where is a data that shows without a doubt that Germans 'tried to erect similar such sites' anywhere bide places they have had them erected. Do you think they started their work with a poll amongst the local population? Can you be more out of touch and ridiculous?

Forgive me but even for the American standards your historical 'acumen' is so beyond the pale that I'm forgiven in my believe you're trolling.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


they weren't threatened equally, you missed an obvious clue in the examples I provided Mr Smart guy. What up? Your reading comprehension suck or you are gonna blame it on my English. eh?

Also a natural tension and grudges between different ethnical and religious group doesn't necessarily translate into general collaboration with Germans of the populace or mass murders committed by the Polish populace on Jews. What a factual evidence do you have to support your views beside your prejudice?

Name one Polish organization, a political movement, that postulated ethnic cleansings and murder of the Jews as a part of their programme!
If you can't you can go and suck on it. In a civilized society casting aspersions is considered a scummy behaviour and against the law.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


Sure, if they didn't want to hand or have all member if their family shot, or all villages destroyed, with their population wiped out for not jumping high enough to German order, You can call it acquiesce and I can call you a moron or a troll.,

Giving direction to a Jew - dead
Giving him a piece bread - dead
Hiding a Jew in your house - dead to all the people in the house.
In your beloved Denmark those above weren't even offences except for the last one which carried a prison sentence in a nice Danish prison run by the Danish guards. So why don't you scram with you ignorant BS?

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


I see you love debating red herring you yourself created. PiS is not anit-EU party, they never claimed to be, quite the opposite. That narrative is created by some in a vain hope that people in Poland who generally (generally) want to say in the EU will believe it and turn away from supporting PiS.

The thing is the dynamic of the support is changing, more and more young people are becoming EU-septic, well there some groups that openly advocate Polexit. Unthinkable few years back.

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]


Not really, it suggest that Poland for the most part had been a place without identity or say in all that, kind of a feather in the wind. Nothing can be further from the truth. It is also not historically accurate. For almost 500 years Poland provided stability for the bigger part of the central and eastern Europe. Being a beacon for many Europeans due to its power, tolerance, wealth and freedoms.

You haven't answered my question. Did it make your day? Had you had that worm feeling inside. I'm have been right all along, I'm not a little patronizing and presumptuous moron, a prejudiced ornery old fart. I ( Lzyko) was actually right all along.

I'm laughing at you right now.


It doesn't sound right or good. I would say that Poland was once a beacon for all Europeans and not only them. Sort of USA before USA.

Real Estate / Can foreigners buy land, house, or apartment in Poland? [60]

She might as well bugger off. After all it Germany and France wants to hit Polish transport companies under a pretext that wages of the Polish truck drives are lower than their French/German counterparts and it suppose to be unfair competition.

So I propose that French/German citizens wanting to buy a property in Poland should be forced to pay French/German prices if we are to fight unfairness.

While we are on it. How about the EU fighting unfairness should star to pay to the Polish farmers the same money they pay to framers in Germany. ( Poland - 25 euro versus 100 euro in Germany)
