History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]

Dmowski and Pilsudski were divided by two different ideas on how Poland should be, Dmowski believed in the the nation (ethnic Poles) others out, Pilsudski believed in country, building a independent prosperous Poland for all people within it's borders.

Tell me again where the difference is to Dmowskis propaganda?

There isn't any difference he believed in a world wide Jewish conspiracy, that the forming of a Jewish state in Palestine, the whole Zionist movement was just a cover up, that Israel would only serve as the nucleus of a movement for Jewish world domination. He like Hitler, knew he shouldn't say certain things out load, but simply was overpowered by his anti-Semitism and it it anyway.

The "own country" of anyone who lived there - when the Second Republic's borders appeared there was nobody still alive who remembered Polish independence.

who said anything about remembering pre partitioned Poland?? Poland is still Poland, anyhow this was a new Poland, new idea who should and shouldn't belong to it, i think they meant ethnic Poles, Slavs, descendants of the tribes who inhabited that land when it was formed.

Just look at Nazi anti-Jew propaganda...it's because of their anti-german plans (objectives) that they were declared enemies of the german people by the Nazis.

True Jews numbered a lot less in Germany than in Poland, yet they were half of all doctors, lawyers, business owners, Germans felt the same as Poles did in the pre war days.

He looks like Hitler....it's the moustache...

Dmowski was right on many issues, sometimes he just said too much out load, like at the signing of the Versailles Treaty his anti-Semitic speech hurt Poland. Wasn't the time or place it was a domestic issue.

Do you know any single person or group of people who give businesses away?

not give it away but wouldn't hire Poles except for labor jobs, or let them open up a buisnes by selling theirs to them or compete, they'd lower the prices so much that u'd go bankrupt in a month or so, it did happen.

Or customers?

customers need to have well paying jobs, and would like to be able to afford more than food. Poles in their own country and can't get to the top because some other ethnicity wont let them, blocks all their their attempts, does that sound right to you??

However, given the cheating that many Jewish business folk were engaged in at the time, I'm hardly surprised that he wanted to carve out a Polishness which meant protecting themselves against being exploited.

very true Seanus, Jews weren't assimilating wanted to be separate and keep all the business for themselves, keeping Poles as little more than their serfs, that's why he believed in creating a numerous Polish middle class.

History / POLES NOT KEEN ON REPRODUCING? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GERMANS AND RUSSIANS? [67]

Historically have there always been more Russians and Germans then Poles?

Bred more early on, and absorbed more of other peoples, especially Russians. During the 19th century the number of Poles increased drastically, Bismark wrote of Poles breeding like rabbits lol. After WWII Poland population was down to less than 24 million, ten years later was up to 30 million.

Love / How to find Asian Girlfriend in Poland [56]

We include the 'stans over here, and India. That's about the only difference :)

what are Arabs classified as? Asians or Middle Easterners?

How to meet Asian (Chinese,Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese) Woman/Girl (18-28yo) in Poland?

I'm sure you can find a Vietnamese girl in Warsaw or some other major city, i have a distant family member who's married to a Filipino girl and they live in Poland, so it can't be too difficult.

How to meet Asian (Chinese,Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese)

Yea you gotta be specific about what you mean by Asian, in the U.S Asian means Oriental, East Asian, but in Europe it has a much more broad meaning

I hate him. He overacts.

I don't think it's overacting, he gets all into his character with body and soul, emotional, he makes it's all seam believable, real.

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

I'm sure some people understand the oh so painful irony....with specific reference to your goodself. ;)

Limey, Polak, Paki, Mick...... don't stress stick and stones will break my bones but.......

If you can read i said Mick or whatever you call a Scott, meaning i wasn't sure i've stated that, and i already told you why i said it, he started using language like that not me, i don't care how you see it childish or whatever, if you're gonna say something about it say something to him also

How's that? on this thread alone he's referred to us as Pollacks or dumb Pollacks knowing full well that that's offensive in the English language, last time i checked this forum is in English.

They are all Irish :)

Ok, but i knew they weren't Polish

Funny how you thought two were Jewish and one was Polish and now you change your tune AFTER I told you were wrong.
Fancy doing it again?

I'm not changing my tune, i didn't guess their nationality but they do not look Polish, even if they were, that doesn't mean they have one of the typical Polish looks.

Convex, 90% of the time i can tell someone is Polish, even if they're born in a different country and dress differently, that says something.
