Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]

You're lying, just like when you claimed that 99% of Poles think that black people are apes.

Nah, she is just an example of a silly bubbling woman who is so much stuck up in her own backside that her own farts smell like a roses to her and any personal experience she had have been distorted by her limited intelligence. Dense people are often like that. Alas she is wrong 9 out of 10 in conclusion she is deriving from observation.

That's how I often feel when I read your (and other) comments about Poles on this forum.

Why? I mean those opinions and post more often than not tell us more about that person than about the issue commented on.
I don't care those people are no authority nor are the sharpest tools in a drawer. I don't need their approval or they acceptance as a Pole.

What I find annoying is insecurity of some Polish people looking for askance and a pat on the back from some scrubby foreigner as if that have any significance.

I won't comfort your paranoia

we are attacked by the mob!

Hmm how many close encounters did you have with a pitchfork-welding or scythe-welding mob with torches? One two? none?
Does your paranoia needs comforting as well?

I was observing Kaczyński, his bulging eyes, shining with unhealthy excitement and creepy smile during the discussion about the Constitutional Tribunal

She (inPolska) does have a point! :D

I doubt that there are many people out there who can accurately find and recognize an original trait of a nation basing it solely on a personal experience. It is possible if you have a team, money and time to do proper research.

Everyone please focus on the topic only, otherwise this thread will be closed.

Why are we Polish such cowards that

Are you still here? What are you waffling about? Are you older than 25? If so have you ever been medicated by a psychiatrist?
Have you been abused as a child? Are you living in Poland? Have you ever have been holding a hand of girl you could call your sweetheart?

Have you been cuddled enough as a child?
Do you think there is something missing in your life and you are going nowhere? If not?
Do you have a feeling that you are destined for something great that there is a purpose to you life?

Those two classy Poles that can't stomach the Brit expats that have invaded the PF with their "Brilliance".

Nah I like them, they bring an element of comedy to PF. They are hilarious when they are trying to boss over posters here and mods. I like when they pretend to be big shots or when they talk about themselves as if they were classy and then utter those veiled threats straight from those a gangster movies.

Come on Johnny do not chase them away. I believe you could :)

I really hope that somebody from the former president's office starts legal proceedings against the scumbags

Don't worry, the new crew are already ahead and they'll start legal proceeding soon.

As I have pointed out in the past lots of people are invited to the president's palace to meet the president, even I've been invited there! Some people will leave the palace with things that they should not leave with, most often tea-spoons, apparently

What about precious paintings 2by4 or commodes? Did they hide them in their pants as well? You should know, share with us.
What about President Villa in Klarysew which has been striped bare down to the kitchen appliances, what's left empty rooms and bare walls. Who have nicked it all - fairies?

Not to mention money, budged for the whole year 2015 have been gone by July. Who is responsible - you?
Just stop your BS.

Intelligence, stubbornness, high general learning capability, word of honour still means much, ability to overcome sudden and unexpected issues, hospitality, warmth, sense of humour.

Firstly I think it should be specified what OP means by traits. Secondly I think Poles shouldn't really comment in this thread, I mean not as a direct response to the OP inquiry.

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

Lyzko for once in your life you could attempt to have a constructive debate, for that to happen we need (or I) establish what exactly are you saying (assuming you are not a biased troll) to establish a basic level on which we can build a platform of understanding and debate. If you came over here and post some assumption of yours we don't have that comfort.

Hence I can't reason with your assumptions based on ignorance. Would you kindly respond to my questions and do answer them or would you rather snipe here and there with nuggets of your doubtful wisdom.

Give you an example as a token of my good will.
Moczar real name Mikołaj Diomko was Russian or Ukrainian at best (who knows) whose (if we talk ethnicity) mother was Polish. He was a member of a communist party before the war i.e. illegal organization, an organization that was organizing clandestine oppressions against the Polish state on behave and in the interest of the Soviet Union i.e. he was a traitor.

During the war he was leading some communist and soviet bands activity fighting against Polish underground - that makes him a double traitor. After the war he was a part of the soviet establishment in occupied Poland and their action do not really concern as action of traitors and collaborators.

He had given call a xenophobe or nationalist because he was a leader of a fraction inside soviet collaborators in occupied Poland. Fraction of ethically non-Jewish traitors and scum with different backgrounds aimed to dispose ethnically Jewish scum in totalitarian apparatus of the occupied Poland. He might used some slogans but he was neither nationalist or xenophobe as he himself wasn't really Polish.

I couldn't care for neither of that fractions nor would any Pole, implying that Poles in any way should apologise for him and the likes of him is simply insulting on so many levels I would even bother to explain it.

Anti-Semitic word is humours in itself as modern Jews on genetic level have noting to do with the Semites of old.

@Ironside, if you're proud of a Jew-hating, xenophobe like Moczar

I have asked you a question and your answer revealed depth of your ignorance. Would you kindly tell me what do you think that Moczar was a Jew-hating xenophobe, in your opinion?

Moczar was not a positive force anymore than Hitler was

You think?

Plenty justify Hitler and the Holocaust

News / Poland's PiS party members and crime [346]

Why is it that it's not a threat to the PiS scam machine, as personified by Duda?

You are talking about President Delf and let me remind you that contrary what you claim that article about alleged misuse of representative traveling privileges are not in breach or any law.

Those newspapers were writing about it during election as a part of mudslinging. Even then they were carful enough to frame those allegation in the form of questions.

Sating out fault that President Duda has somehow acted with disregard of the law or what not makes you liable to be sued for slander.

Sure take you changes but don't say you haven't been warned./

How about the one Duda says Kaminski committed and which Kaminski agrees he committed?

Excuses excuses details and links please and more than one at least three.

When it comes to Kaminski his trials have been politically motived and he has been charges with some rather doubtful nonsense.

Unfortunately system of justice in Poland is highly undependable at large as it wasn't wiped clean after the Soviet times. Consequently the same people left in prominent positions, often some families and same mentality weights heavily on the Polish judiciary system.

Each year that attracted more trouble-makers

Polonius there are no more trouble-makers that in any given time in the past, you don't know what you are talking about.

Every event like that attract all kind of scum, it is the policy duty as they are getting paid for that to distinguish between those who are taking part in the march and troublemakers - until now it was the police that were creating problems i.e. attracting in the way one might call - provocation.

By seeking sensation and focusing mainly on violent peripheries they have attracted those whose only interest is a good punch-up and enabled the march to degenerate.

Really? Say who? Why you saying all those things when PiS is in power and you were defending march when PO was in power. edited

UK, Ireland / My bad experiences with Polish neighbours in UK (not meant to offend) [173]

I'm disappointed I keep hearing about Poles forming their isolated worlds in other countries.

Would be able to prove to me that you are Polish? Writing in Polish for example? I think you are a fraud who is trolling this site.

Until than I can be bothered to refute your silly questions.

true, generally Poles live in their own ghettos

Any reliable data to support your opinion?

What do you call the rich people ghettos? Enclaves.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

In that case you must be as daft as a brush......

That's me to the T.

but I think you're just proving the pudding by telling little porkies in order to be awkward again.

When fools are posting follies why would I make it easier for them?

But the division itself goes back much deeper into history

What division? Differences between kingdoms of the Europe Christendom? Sure there were plenty, all of them absolutely irrelevant to the issue debated here.
Western civilization is an euphemism for Latin civilization or Christian civilization.
Christian civilization slits into two branches of the same tree - western and eastern.
Western part consists from France on its western geographical end to Poland on its eastern geographical end. From Britan to Hungary, from Portugal to Finland, from Norway to Croatia, those are boundaries of western/Christian civilization in Europe.

All that talk about eastern Europe is a direct result of the two events, disappearance of the Polish Commonwealth in this part of the world and closer to our times subjection of the area by the Soviet totalitarian regime. End off.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

Thats true is very hard to generalise to al Poland, the eastern part is sure more "Russian"

Not really, Poland is a culturally western country with her own spin and branch of that culture/civilization. What dazzle many laymen talking about Poland are unique historical experiences and a fact that Poland didn't exist during 19th century which were formative century for new nations and old nation alike.

Belonging to a culture group or civilization do not require uniformity if anything right know so called western countries are diverging from their own roots by adopting a viral cultural heresy some people call neo-Marxism other progressiveness.

No melting pots between geographical directions.

for food and language, Eastern Europe

There is no Eastern European language either.
As for food, there are no eastern European food, the only reason that cuisine in few countries in this part of Europe is somewhat similar is because of the Polish Commonwealth heritage.

for religion and alphabet, Western Europe

There is no western European religion as there is no western European alphabet.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

except for urban well off and educated classes is culturally (including food, but not only) closer to Eastern Europe

Poland is not France that is not a brainier Capitan Obvious, I would take any day dumplings over fried snails or frogs, that disgusting food, why don't you put in flies for a good measure.

Most Poles also physically look more Eastern Europeans

Sunshine, there is no eastern European look like there is no western European look, you according to your own snobbish western progressiveness standards are being racist. I don't care about that but I'm always ready to point out an obvious hypocrisy and double standers deployed by our holier than thou PF snobs.

I think that an average Pole and an Albanian differ in many things including "looks."

what about all the old women outside main cities wearing colorful headscarves?

Again, so what? Look at your own movie stars from the 60' silly goose. There are not uniformity - that is a good thing, don't you think?

Why Poles don't like to be put into Eastern European shoes?
It is quite simple really:
1, because graphically Poland doesn't belong to eastern Europe,
2, because culturally Poland doesn't belong to eastern Europe,
3, Poland culture is basically western.
Poland stopped to be under the soviet boot 25 years ago, evidently it is not enough time for westerners to get used to the new reality, they rather remain stuck in their own rectum claiming that their own farts are smelling sweet, much sweeter than fresh air.

So be it.
Live and let live. :)
