USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [187]

I already posted that it's obvious that Poland and the US are friends, as for example both being NATO members etc but on this forum it shows that there are many differences between Poles and Americans (at least on PF) that lead to many fights.

there many differences between individuals from the same village - so what?>
Its up to individuals !

Travel / My visit to Poland - Likes & Dislikes. [137]

There are plenty of countries with attractive weather.

My point is that the two are very closely linked. If English wasn't spoken widely not nearly as many tourists would go there.

Not in EU, and not that close to sun hungry people,
Yes, I agree with point you made but I would put more emphasis on the fact that first English speaking tourists started going Spain and then people in Spain started to learn English which in turn prompted more tourists to go to Spain!

However, there must be some preconditions for a tourist industry to attract tourist, widespread knowledge of English is not enough on its on!

Could we all try to get back to the topic on Poland please?

E.g.The economies of Spain, Portugal for a start would have collapsed a long time ago if English wasn't as widely spoken as it is.

There is attractive weather for a start knowledge of languages is secondary to their tourist industry but still important.

History / Poland - problem for Germany? (historically continual hostility of German state on Poland) [154]

to define the Polish interest.

Under NATO umbrella, and with a little help of EU, develop Poland's infrastructure (going for modern solutions) and grow economical and financial muscle.
Target: Poland as the one of the European Union shakers next to Germany and France.
To achieve this, policy of military support should be delicately balanced, not like is now - when polish army is spending all budged on supporting American military mission (which are really fools errant and they main aim is to bulge coffers of the bankers and the munitions corporation.)

EU investments should be directed by government to get an optimal results in achieving the target.
( right now, Poland is used as a colonial marked for some EU country's)
That is the reason I regard PO rule as a disaster!

You need to develop something to export as well if you don't want to stay a market for others!

yeah! that right!
Poland governments up the date let all the competitive industries to be sold out to their western competitors or locked away under the pretence of privatisation BB!

As a example you should look up in the Internet about manufacturing fibre-optic cable in Poland.
Just check who is the owner now, and when and why polish-owned factory's were sold out or locked away to make a place for foreign competitors.

I'm sure you'll find it if you are really interested

.To all, please don't make off topic posts. They will just end up in the bin

Life / Polish authors, books & literature. [95]

Jan Kochanowski
(1530 – 22 August 1584) was a Polish Renaissance poet who established poetic patterns that would become integral to Polish literary language.

He is commonly regarded as the greatest Polish poet as well as the greatest Slavic poet prior to the 19th century

I-S ( He is good)

Paweł Jasienica
was the pen-name of Leon Lech Beynar (10 November 1909 – 19 August 1970), a Polish non-academic historian, journalist, writer and soldier.
He was born in Simbirsk, Russia, to Polish parents, Mikołaj Beynar and Helena Maliszewska. His father worked as a Russian official. Beynar's family lived in Russia and Ukraine until the Russian Revolution of 1917, after which the family returned to Poland in 1920. He graduated in history from Stefan Batory University in Wilno.

Beynar was a soldier in the Polish army during World War II and fought against the German Wehrmacht during the invasion of Poland in September 1939. After the defeat of Poland, he joined the Polish underground Armia Krajowa (AK, or Home Army) and continued the fight and was wounded while fighting against Soviet units.

Jasienica would later became famous for his popular historical books about Piast Poland, Jagiellon Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Good stuff!

Life / What's the story with Nergal? (Singer from Behemoth) [40]

It is just because people are the way they are that religion doesn't work on the majority.

People are the way they are because of deep cultural imprint which even religion wasn't able to change but only modify.
Interesting to consider pastoral versus agricultural - old world versus new:)

Then your culture is prime pickings for brainwashing. Until you accept that priests were not supposed to be God's intermediaries, this will continue by ruthless profiteers playing on peoples' sensibilities.

Priest are too latent for my testes and the church is too timid.
There were always the case and those profiteers were and are not only in church or not primarily in the church.

So religion has failed abysmally then? Jesus died for us all and expiated our sins yet we still behave like barbarians 2000 years on? Wow, that's reassuring ;)

Well, imagine people without religions and its tempering and civilizing influence:)were would we be? You are taking too many things for granted - due to religion influence, on the other hand you blame all failings on religion.

Ah! Protestants cannot be an example because if anybody they make a war with -God is on our side- a rule, anyway against they Christian breather !

Life / What's the story with Nergal? (Singer from Behemoth) [40]

Religion isn't about killing? Then go and tell that to those Islamists that kill in the name of Allah. Jihad is Holy War and it's a doctrine.

Well, I don't know enough about Isalmists to enter into serious discussion about Jihad:/
However Christian are not about killing!

Anyway, Nergal rejected the badge culture. It's a shortcut to thinking.

Nergal is opportunist at best and Satanist at worst .....
Do not fool yourself Sean, he do not prompt people to thinking, he suck them into his own philosophy, those who are his followers are just that - new badge bearers!

Most people just follow and that is that!
\

Nergal philosophises a lot. He is candid in his commentary. I like the fact that he is an independent thinker and isn't afraid to state it as he sees it.

Doesn't mean he is right, and because you agree with him, its doesn't make him right

I-S (Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.The evil that men do lives after them.)

Take Adolf Hitler, a Catholic.

He was a freak not Catholic, are you Protestant because you were born one?no!
There plenty of those who just stick with a badge but not necessary are of any worth, there good sheep, black sheep and stray sheep:)

Plenty of Orthodox and Catholic killers there

Well, generatively and theoretically Christianity is not about killing but all those tribal cultures made some impact on practical side of things but don't blame religion if anything Orthodoxes and Catholic's do temper bad tendencies.

No, he encourages free thinking. He lets people draw their own conclusions and doesn't thrust it on them.

Most people are incapable of drawing their own conclusions and that is the crux of the matter. They are just suck into new badge bearers circle and they follow, they thing- hey is new and original and so clever (I'm so original and clever)- but in fact there are specific kind of sheep - suckers :)

Why not?

scale, premeditation, and soviet state apparatus
on the other hand if we assume than some polish elements did it ......there was criminal or deranged element demoralised by war and a few victims.

I don't feel responsible for that at all.

You are a blind conformist then?

I know that most people don't have a need or time or ability to make decisions or think for themselves - they just follow !

How is being Orthodox or Protestant a major stray?

et at the same time, they love to claim that "the Jew" allegedly runs the entire media, owns all the banks, owns too much property and too many businesses - none of which seem like even slightly Communistic activities to me ;)

don't be daft ....

Poland is just a sheep culture

Most people being Catholic, Protestant or Atheist don't think just fallow whatever the they feel they should.
Cultural cultural diversity is a killer of society unity.

What do you mean by that? A crowd of ordinary people killed the Jews. The police did almost nothing to stop this. Do you have any evidence to prove it wasn't the case?

Pogrom doesn't mean killing, so yes there were pogroms but mostly against property, and the rest I would classified as political conflict, Jews in Poland had their own party's, and they were fighting as well, Poles were killed too.

In 1918 and 1919 were during the war with soviets and Jews rightly or not were seen as Bolsheviks V column.
70 victims in about 20 years is not big number, I would like to check this data, it may take time as I have real life to attend to :)

What I meant was - there was no intent to kill before and wasn't carried out on such a scale(proven even by unchecked above number).

and this newspaper is called by people with radical right-wing views (those who are anti-semites at least) as "Jewish", "communist", "anti-Polish" and stuff like that ;)

this newspaper is called by people with brains - lying rag!
