Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

I guess you are right; I guess things are not improving but I still think that given all circumstances and when comparing to other countries, Poles are not so bad.

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

Seems pretty sef-explanatory, I-S.

No, it is BS and I call his BS. You can say that Polish people are rude or not, that some are rude. I have no problem with that, it is a qestion of perception and for Anglophone it seems that Poles are shouting when they are not. Different cultures - fine. Yet it would be nice to have a reason given. Coming here and saying hey children said that Polish people are horrible after a day stroll in the Poznan center is pure BS.

What, all of them?

What?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

The mental naivette of BigGovernment gun control advocates makes one wonder how such docile people could survive in a "Mad Max" world.

Oh that kind of people is great in double standards and hypocrisy. I'm sure they would have armed themselves to the teeth.

Presumably, exactly what he says.

Well jon he says that for a reason. He is not a child and I would like to have his view and his interpretation - what children say and why they say what they say there could many reasons. It could be that they heard Ant saying that and they are sucking up to him. You cannot say something like that and leave it there.

Exactly what they say. They find it odd being pushed around and shouted at. What do you mean?

Excuse me my doubts in your words but you are know around here to make things up as you go and spin things - so I would ask you why would they say so? There must be a reason.

I don't find Polish people horrible and walk around a city center wouldn't be a reason enough to come to such conclusion.

On several occasions after a day out in Poznan, my partners Polish children have asked why Polish people are so horrible?

What do you mean?

When I asked the woman at the kiosk to repeat something, she could obviously see that Polish was not my first language (although I was trying my best) and instead of slowly repeating herself, she just yelled at me what she said before.

Some people do that, they rise their voice speaking t o foreigner to make themselves easier to understand.

Poland has a national army and is a member of NATO, so that arguement is out.

No this argument is valid.

They also don't have a serious gun problem with dozens of nut-jobs murdering children and teachers every year.

Do you have any links to those statistic?

Poland currently does not have a gun problem - if it ain't broke, why 'fix' it?

Think about Swiss model, with assault rifles in many households and Poland able to field in four to five hours Home Defense Army numbered from seven to ten million people. With the assault rifles on hand what sense would be in limiting access to hand weapons or shotguns?

Every right, given that a gun is a dangerous weapon.

So what? You still do not get it do you?

Hej, who's to deny me having a nuclear bomb?

Please restrain yourself form using that cheap rhetoric - Reductio ad absurdum - is not an argument and you know it.

Who's talking about the police? Only you. Why not have a monologue in front of a mirror and spare us your red herrings.

Unable to answer that one, no need to get exited about that - Breathe in, breathe out Tell me all of your doubt

And they need guns for that?

Need? If somebody need a gun or want it what right have others to deny him that?

Plenty of other ways - most of the world, including Poland, manage it.

Really? Why the police in the most of the world is armed?

People would learn responsibility and accountability for their actions. If they are treated like children by the society they behave like children. A fact that there are some deranged or otherwise stupid people who misused guns do not chnage the fact that the right to own the gun is the right of every free people and is the right to be treated as a citizen not a serf. Those who misuse guns should be hand by the neck as a mangy dogs their are. However saying that because there are bad and stupid people out there all hard edges should be smoothed is just lunacy and bad working of a human brain, the same lunacy as if somebody would ban genitalia just because some bad and stupid people are using those to rape or hurt other people - can't do.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

if wise, Poland shall create new Commonwealth and arrange things so that all people from Baltic to the Balkan and Black see, speak Polish language.

Poland already did and as a result even ancient Polish lands are being claimed by some upstarts.

Looks like Polish nationalism was way more effective than German Nazism in Silesia.

Looks like the end result of the German nationalism in action come back to bite them in the ass.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

I follow the principia of Polish eastern policy as laid down after the WW2 by Polish aristocrat Jerzy Gedroyc, an exile in Paris, he himself born in Minsk, today's capital city of Belorus.

By theoretician about theoretical political idea a one which even hasn't been now and original. He was counting on grass root development in the Soviet Union where potential and real nationalities would rebel against Soviets under the banner of their national idea and national state. In such hypothetical situation he wanted Poland to rather help and support those movements than trying to regain her territories.

It was an abstract construction very wobbly at best with no standing. In fact Soviet Union crumbled from the top to bottom nothing like his predictions.

In fact such dogmatic principles are just pure nonsense. Pure dream stuff.

he poster I was replying to was just naming people who beat him in the arguments he starts.

From what you said to WB it is impossible as you are not partaking in debates.

As opposed to all the towns and villages in the land Poland stole from Germany

Harry do not lie again, Poland naver stole from Germany any lands.

I suppose you mean Schlesien?

Mind your own business instead of trolling.

Because their bricks were stolen to rebuild Warsaw.

Yeah all three of them.

When were you last there? In the summer of this year it didn't look any worse than Lublin starówka. Much larger though.

Who do you think paid for restoration? I will not tell you find out.

No, almost all cities to the left of the Odra survived WW2 without damages.

Some survived but many were destroyed and needed to be rebuild. Not to mention cities in central Poland which were destroyed for the most part. When it comes to the cities on the stolen territories majority of historical building and cities have been left almost intact. So don't lie here Pavilec as you are know to post here just to spread your vile lies and anti-polish bias.

As for Ukrnian taking good care you must be talking out of your ass. It was taken care/or not by Soviet Union and we can all see in what state is Lwow after 20 years of Ukrainian rule, those historical building are about to crumble.

And medieval Poland took Silesia from Bohemia. Who's clever now?

Not you as you are confusing stuff.

Exactly. They lost their colony - poor and back warded - and got in return rich Silesia,

What colony? What kind of BS is that?
Poland lost their lands, in 1939 Poland has no colonies. Rich?Poland lost coal, oil, natural gas, potassium salts, rock salt, iron ore with those territories.Plus cities haven't been destroyed.In Silesia many cities have to be rebuild from scratch. Sure there are some natural riches but as I said sobiski and you do not listen. It wasn't exchange it was robbery. Getting Silesia has nothing to do with Losing Lwow.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

What is the difference between your daydream of getting Lwów back...and Stettin, Breslau etc. returning to Germany?

You are making it personal. It is not personal it is only right for Poland to get back her land. Poland has been by her allies and left on the mercy of Soviet Union which not only stolen her lands but enslaved her for over 50yeras.

Also are asking a wrong qestion. The only thing that those two issues have in common is Poland and commie propaganda presenting it as a compensation for land stolen by the Soviets.

As nobody is asking for return of Alsace to Germany why should they asking for Breslau?
Differences:
a.Poland have been a part of the victorious coalition and won the WWII. Germany have been belligerent power who lost and capitulated unconditionally, meaning that all consequences faced by Germany after the war they have no right to complain about. What more given atrocities Germans have been gulity of in Poland renders any complains as a brazen insolence.

b. Polish land has been taken by traitorous Soviet union which cased to exist, all those new states are brand new and not a continuity of some political entity. On those territories there were only two states Poles and Russians, Poles defending and Russian grabbing. So likes of Ukrainian or Belorussian have no real right to those lands bar right of possession at the moment. No Polish government accepted and agreed to cease those lands to those new countries. Whereas Germans did in case of their lands.

c. Germans lost the land that belonged mostly to Prussia, it is substantial lost but it is not fatal, main cities and major cultural areas vital for German identity are mostly left intact in Germans hands.

Whereas Poland has been hacked in half and half of their territory with major Polish cities and areas vital for Polish cultural identity have been stolen. After all the borders from 1921 has been already a compromise.

Yes they are.

You can reaped that as long as you want it doesn't make it so.

They don't want that either - all they want is self determination without Putin trying to manipulate their country.

It is more complex than that, there are three distinctive areas with different attitude towards Russia, independence of Ukraine and the EU.
On the territories that should belong to Poland chauvinistic Ukrainian attitude and will to join the EU and stay away from Russia is strong.
In Ukraine per se including Kiev majority of people are pro Independence but their attitude to the EU and Russia vary. If they could say away from Russia without joying the EU that would be their goal.

On territory that east and south east of Kiev the majority of people are for close ties with Russia and they are OK with Ukrainian independence as long she will stay away from the EU and NATO.

Honestly I don't understand that interests in Ukraine. I would think that the EU is not really interested in Ukraine joining the EU. After all realistically speaking they cannot expect to became a part of the EU for at least 20 years.

News / Are the Germans taking back Świnoujście? [22]

Ironside, although technically Poland was one of the countries in Europe NOT to be occupied by the Nazis, this by no means signifies that there weren't as many collaborators as there were resistance fighters!

Would you kindly provide sources to support your claim otherwise I will treat that for what it is - an unsubstantial and unlearned view.

We should all be concerned that someone takes articles in Gazeta Polska seriously.

Would that depended on contests of those articles.
