Love / Polish women: what do you think of Polish men? Physically unattractive? [180]

And regarding the looks: like in most Slavic countries women are often quite glamorous, while men often look like hobos. Strange.

So true, maybe with the exception of some southern slavic countries, where the Mediterranean admixture is stronger. (I certainly in my line of work come across a lot of Serbian male models, zero Polish). I visited Czech Republic as well this summer, even there men generally looked better than Polish, presumably due their higher Germanic genetic admixture.

Language / Slavic languages words similarities with Polish [238]

yes yes of course but YOU know better... please Vlad, kindly from the bottom of my heart ( and here I'm worried about my eyesight as well, as my eyes start welling up with puke seeing this never-fvcking-ending testament to your obtuseness) and with sugar on top, and every shred of empathy and sympathy I could possibly muster; I implore you to BACK OFF! (once and for all)

Dear moderator: BACK OFF and FVCK OFF have completely different connotations, I'd rather you chucked my post into the bin instead of modifying it. BACK-OFF implies some sort of exclusivity to this thread on my part where I have none. I just wanted him to fvck off - a perfectly reasonable request under the circumstances. However it appears that Lyzko's polyglot passion works much better to all kinds of other effects... smoothing the waves and giving me to time to figure out how to make Vlad fvck off.

This is what I expect to post by somebody here.If Polish and Slovak are so close and many
Poles listened to Slovak and understand quite a lot then it should be easy to do...

Or you could post similarities between Polish and Slovak grammar,syntax,pronounciation etc

or I could get my **** together and get rid of that work backlog... some of us have to work you know (so that they can smoke up afterwards)

Don't need fancy studies, just listen to Slovak. When I do, I understand it, when I listen to Russian I don't understand it, simples. The OP doesn't understand that the language similarity very much depends on syntax, grammar, pronunciation as well as vocabulary. Good luck trying to explain that to him.. it's not like it's gonna stop him from posting endless lists to prove.. not sure what exactly - too much leisure time?

News / Kaczyński stirs up hatred between Germans and Poles. [20]

"Kaczyński is hoping to stage a March in Opole in May under the slogan Tu jest Polska, ‘Poland is here’."

Oh really, what desperate, hateful twat he is. He really needs to do Poland a favor and start using windows instead of doors... on his way out... from a very tall building.

History / Should Poland organize March of the Living in Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland? [64]

Oh man you're at it again, moaning and whining. Understandably a pang of national guilt that invariably arises in the face of such horrific crimes like the massacre in Volhyn is not nothing enviable. But please be a good pioneer, stop sniveling, use your red scarf for something constructive like blowing your nose and move the fvck on.

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

I don't know why circumcision is not practiced in Poland. But heck I'll make sure to start practicing it when I visit Poland. I mean you gotta admit there is something powerfully endearing about a snipped foreskin. It's almost poetic in its sense of detachment, like a miniature steak perfect for a car lighter barbecue.

Watch it! Jews, especially Messianic Jews, are G-d's chosen people.

but of course... just out of curiosity, are the non-messianic Jews sort of runner-ups or back-up Jews, if you will, in case the messianic ones go off, past their expiration date?

wow amazing thread, the last two posts particularly profound, there's a sort of Ulysses/Haiku quality to them... but better

?

just look at it, aren't you amazed?

Look, I did not have any problems with immigrants while they kept to some far away, sh!tty places, like Warsaw. But when some goddamn pakis start showing up in my neighbourhood, it changes the matter significantly. I can already imagine some paki' getho growing up all around me.

The problem with Poland is it licks Western ass too much.

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]

No, I just accept that the PWN is a far more definitive source on Polish than some dumb internet rednecks.

Accept all you want but while you are at it you may as well accept the fact that language is not a static monolith but an ever-evolving, flowing entity. Knowing Polish failry well, I instinctively deducted its Babusia origin, but that obviously comes with a certain level of proficiency which you evidently do not posses. Heh why don't you come over to some Danish forum armed with Nudansk Ordbog and start telling Danes how they should speak Danish, it would be just as ridiculous as what you are doing here in this thread.

Busia is simply a word used by people who are too uneducated to use the correct word. Given that "Busia" was almost certain a peasant when she arrived, it does make sense.

Busia is a diminutive/short of Babusia, nothing to do with peasantry. Why are you such a retard about all this..? I dare say your Polish is too crap to understand that words in Polish can be morphed and played with in ways unprecedented in Germanic languages.

History / Mother tongue in Poland - acccording to 1931 census. [174]

If the Russians had done the same comparison in WW2 they would have been under Hitler's boot today.

lol like they had a choice, it was either charge forward or be she shot in the back by their own commissars, (however Ukrainians welcomed Germans with bread, salt and flowers... funny that huh)

So what?Then Lithuania could deny citizen status to polish minority to cleanse them to Poland next door.

...and in Rwanda they may start killing Hutus again, your point being? 'Mother tongue in Poland - according to 1931 census' got anything on that?

They even deny citizenship to Russian speaking inhabitants and treat them as third class garbage.

Sorry no sympathy nor any empathy from me, Russia next door happens to be world's biggest country, getting my drift? (though Putin obviously wants to have a ready-to-hand fifth column )

So the Russophiles are so because of pigginess,submission,slave status desire while swedish lovers are driven by respect for common sense?

I wouldn't phrase like that (I'd phrase it way better but you already know that) but yes, just compare living standard of an average Russian to an average Swede today lol.

Ahh what a great country Russia would be if she was governed with Swedish efficiency, common sense, respect for human life as well as environment, openness, tolerance and general care for the weakest of her own.. hmmm.. Imagine! And no religion too!

History / Mother tongue in Poland - acccording to 1931 census. [174]

didn't see any Pole or Czech particularly fond of the good old Swedisch times of their countries occupation.

Missing the point as usual, the territories of Poland and Lithuania proper although briefly occupied by Sweden were never intended to be part of future Swedish empire unlike Latvia and Estonia. After Swedes entered Riga 1620 one of the first things they did was abolishment of serfdom. Subsequently they built a network of schools for commoners! Yep almost 400 years ago. They didn't do it out of goodness of their hearts or anything remotely altruistic rather they were driven by common (Scandinavian) sense. Sweden was a sparsely populated state that needed more citizens (more new Swedes) so to speak to maintain the new fledgling empire hence freedom for peasants and education for everyone (yep almost 400 years ago you can see the beginnings of today's Scandinavian welfare model).

Latvia and Estonia blossomed under the Swedish rule hence their gratitude lasting to this day.

n Ukraine and Belarus it happens every now and then some petition for return to Russian rule it is not unpopular idea among the masses.

Yep Russified masses (speaking Russian), over the centuries clubbed into a dank submission unaccustomed to any self-governance and freedom. Hurray zombies rejoice! Mother Russia here to smother you with her rancid bosom lactating pigsty and stability.

Do you have any idea what Russians think about Latvians and Estonians?

Oh yeah let's shed some crocodile tears for remnants of Soviet colonists, it's Latvia and Estonia now, their countries their rules, bohoo I feel so sorry for them... eeh NOT.

History / Mother tongue in Poland - acccording to 1931 census. [174]

So occupation by Sweden is good while occupation by Russia is bad?

Of course, no comparison, what kind of stupid question is that..? In today's Latvia and Estonia there is a saying (spoken to this day) 'The good old Swedish times', pertaining to the 100 years of Swedish rule back in 17th and 18th century. A few years back there was an official petition signed in Estonia for a return of Swedish rule. Of course it was a bit of joke, a funny stunt by an opposition party disillusioned with corrupted Estonian officials but it did gain quite a popularity and it clearly goes to show what sort of sentiment and remembrance towards Sweden there is in those countries. Do I need to tell you what Latvians and Estonians think of Russia? LOL

History / Mother tongue in Poland - acccording to 1931 census. [174]

Interesting point, but one which assumes that if WWI hadn't happened Poles would by now not exist, as they would have been Russified or Germanized or Austrianated (I may well not have the precisely correct words there).

You don't get, do you or put it simply you just don't want to get it... anyways huge difference between a fully culturally self-aware, 800 year old independent country that all of a sudden gets occupied and partitioned and 'nations' who only briefly enjoyed independence at much earlier stages of history and whose ruling classes long had chosen different cultural affinity.. please (I really do not want explain the logic behind it, you are an intelligent man, you should be able to figure it out)

we are still left with Jews and Lithuanians.

sigh.. nitpicking rarely defies logic... yes I meant Lithuanians as well , Jews...?! Jews have always been Jews, why on earth are we talking Jews again.. why not Serbia..? Well just kidding Harry,please don't mention Serbia or I'll puke.

Let's get away from Poland for a bit because something tells me you in your zeal to stomp out the Polska See No Evil mentality (which, you're right, is annoying and totally counter productive particularly for its adherers) have gone slightly over the board and lost your ability to be objective.

And here comes Scandinavia; Finland for the most part of her history was part of Sweden right until 1809 when Russians took it. Yet only after 1809 the separate strong independent Finnish identity arose, simply because Finns realized that being under the Russian boot blows so many goats soon there wouldn't be any goats left and as such the fate of humanity without any goat cheese around would be unthinkable (I'm pretty sure French would not stand for this including me even though I'm not French). But if it weren't for the Russian Empire today' Sweden would be much larger probably in some sort of union with Finland, much in the same way as Scotland is with England. And I guarantee you there would be more Swedish speakers in Finland than the current 10%.

edit: hehe 'slightly overboard' and not 'over the board', I mixed that up with all all over the board, which kind of makes sense in this particular context ;)

Of course it makes sense. Had it not been for the Russian empire those Ukrainians and Belorussians most likely would have not existed as they would have been long polonized as it had been the trend up until the downfall of Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth which btw wasn't forced or anything like that just a natural influence of dominant culture on the society, trickling down from the upper classes and slowly taking root in the lower classes. Very common social dynamic, examples of which history of humanity is rife with. Simply put the Russians presence disrupted this quite natural process and Poles given the chance tried to reverse it, though it was too late as the separate national identities had already formed.

Very simple Harry, after 120 odd years of brutal russification they counter-reacted with polonization, quite understandable given those times and attitudes not only in Poland but worldwide.

Was the Polish language ever discouraged like this?

Not only discouraged but outright forbidden by both Russians and Prussians, the only occupying power that allowed official use of Polish language was Austria, hence the vast majority of interbelleum legislative cadre, teachers and such hailed from Lwów as it was the only place they could be educated in Polish.
