Off-Topic / Which western European country would assimilate more Poles and other Slavs in next 50 years? [12]

Which western European country would assimilate more Poles and other Slavs in next 50 years?

Neither. There will be no Western European culture to assimilate in. West embraces multiculturalism, now unless you follow crappy pop culture, there is no way in hell you can assimilate in a multicultural society.

He he. Tell that to Putin

Exactly, the end is not near, I feel it will be time for Slavs to prosper and take on role as global leaders in the next 50 years, all we need is to co-operate with one another. be nice to Putin :)

yes. We can spot many indications

Don't underestimate us Slavs ;)

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Why? I simply wrote that Romania as a state never did anything bad to Poland.

Sure, why would they need to? Same goes for any other nation that has not done anything bad to Poland

Could posters focus on the fact that the thread concerns Germans and Russians please. A new thread can always be started if you wish to focus on Poles and Romanians.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

It was the historical Principality of Moldavia that took part in the Deluge.

Both Walachia and Moldova, two of the three (third one being Transylvania, that one was more Hungarian then anything) founding principalities that make up modern day Romania, with Moldova carrying heavy Slavic influence.

It isn't "false", since Romania didn't exist back then and I wrote about Romania, not Romanians.

Well in this way you must separate the nation from the state

Interesting note is Romania was Poland's original ally back in WW2 when they shared a border. Romania soon join with the NAZI's (for protection as they feared a Soviet invasion), but still lets Poles escape through their country on condition they completely disarm.

Then why were you writing that it's "maybe because Romanian is Latin culture", if you knew she was like that?

To imply the lack of interest in Slavic related things as opposed to gravitating around other Latin nations such as Spain.

There are "those racist white power type people" in every white country, including Poland.

I know, I realize stupid is stupid regardless of what country they are from.

You and that woman

I meant this one.
I can't speak for entire nations, just my experiences.

Because of this confusion the very word "Rumun" (Romanian) ...

I can go on talking about Romania, History, culture, language, I really don't mind.

Romania never did anything bad to Poland

This statement is false. Romanians did invade Poland in the 'Deluge' with Sweden, One of Poland's most bloody conflicts, in which Romanian principalities declared war on Poland for no apparent reason despite it being against their Ottoman masters wishes, in which the Ottomans punished them later for. However I do acknowledge Moldova being historically tied to Poland (more or less half of Moldova is located in Romania). there were a few interesting bits of history but I don't wan't to bring them up as this is not a thread about Romania and Poles. But it can make an interesting thread.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

hat the USA and the UK, never said anything to appose either of them on this matter

Perhaps your not aware those two countries are just as criminal or even more so when it comes to historic events of mass murder, enslavement and genocide.

the EU UK and USA do not want to admit their land grab for Ukraine as well.

They have no interest in those people, only when they migrate to work as a cog in their systems is when they care. Their policy is exploit the resources, ditch the country, have immigrants flock to their country for "economic opportunity" repeat process until no resources left to exploit and the poor starve off while the rich become god like. Great success.

Russia feels that it is protecting Russians from west as they want to claim their own people.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

No, she was one of those racist white power type people, She told me Germany has the right to take away Silesia, Pomerania and Prussia from Poland. Anything Slavic was seen as inferior. We are not friends anymore. Last time I checked Romanians are one of the most disliked people in Poland, even more disliked then Russians. There must be a reason for this.

I should add I don't want to be against Romanians, many I have met were decent people.

Romania is an Orthodox country - do you feel like you have a warmer attitude towards Romanians

I knew a Romanian who hated Russians, its what she would talk about, while I on the other hand always defended them. Maybe because Romanian is Latin culture?

Really? I say its politics that is the strongest factor.
Both are Slavic culture and both are European culture. Lots of overlap in food, language, traditions etc. Tatars are Asiatic culture, Russian is not.

Pols hate Russians because of their Catholic religion, as simple as that.

You mean our Catholic religion is telling us to hate Russians?

No I think he means that Poles and Russian would both be closer if Poland was majority orthodox. I suppose there might be some truth in that with people that put a high value on religion.

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]

You mean as an unqualified teenager.

What occupation is that, how do I become a qualified teenager? what's the pay?

But still manage to shoot your mouth off.

That's what you do

Back to thread topic, I respect math, science and language teachers...
As long as they are not: rude, have no accountability, immature, and other things along that line.

This is the reason why someone here is suspended/banned.

Respect is earn through having good character, not by paper certificates. If you are kind and polite, people will respect you. Why must I explain this to old men?

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]

Not least because a BA (unless its a BA QTS) does not give certification as a teacher.

No, you must go to teachers college for two years.

I bet it was those 'scraps' that taught you English so whats your problem?

Yes it definitely was the scraps that taught me English and I can say they did a bad job, lol, they just blamed me for not progressing as fast instead of wondering why their teaching abilities were less then effective.

Amusing to see someone pontificating about the world of work when they are a teenager.

Some people have to work to eat instead of getting stoned throughout there college days Jon. As a part time teacher/tutor, I help children who are struggling because A holes like you guys overcharge and have no ability to teach (teaching certificate does not guarantee this).

You guys are mediocre at best, the scraps that could not make it back in U.K.

Since none of you denied this, we can safely assume this is true

I have worked teaching English in several universities so ner ner ner

Good for you, pat on the back, I would care more if you taught science...

B.Ed is its own degree, although I am a B.Sc student, I feel like a B.Ed will be more useful then a B.A for teaching in elementary to high school level, but it depends on what you want to teach and what subjects you took. If you major in English, teach English lol (can the resident Englishmen tell us what else you can do with such a respected degree) same goes for other subjects. Now unless you resident English teachers are full time employed University professors (doubt you are) I don't see the point to brag about teaching English where English is a foreign language. You guys are mediocre at best, the scraps that could not make it back in U.K.

Partitioning of Poland was Catherine idea, Catherine (the great) II of Russia with her personal advisor General Ivan Chernyshyov suggested to Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig (Heinrich) that Prussia and Russia annex/divide among them self's some Polish land,..

She was German born in Prussia, So Germans are not trustworthy either

History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]

Poland is the second largest Slavic country, after Russia. Just imagine the power in unity if all slavs lived in peace with each other, yet we see nothing but hate with the ones that should be close - Ukraine/Russia/Poland.

I agree, that is why I am pan-Slavic and anti-nationalist, I don't believe people should identify by artificial lines drawn on maps

Nationalism is how people get brainwashed to go to war and do terrible things to their fellow brother/human. For this reason I'm not surprised at all to what is happening in Ukraine.

You nailed it!

News / Poland's demographic, migration & fertility rate disaster [34]

There will be those willing to assimilate and others that won't. For example Gypsies lived in Europe for about a 1000 years and for the most part have not assimilated. But this is getting offtopic

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]

you look Polish meaning you wouldn't really stand out in Poland

I can agree with that.

Apparently Polish noses are often quite long, I have one

Some Pole's do have long noses while others don't, I do not have a long nose.

Genealogy / I love Asiatic influences in Polish peoples' faces [59]

But YOU have no right to say you know what is in my head or what my following comments might have been.

They are just annoying trolls, they have a very narrow egocentric mind and its pointless to argue with them because all they will do is through insults around.

You are not implying Polish people are Asian, its very obvious.

there are Tatars in Podlasie, as well as other regions across Poland, I'm sure Roger5 knows that. Many Tatars eventually lost their language and abandoned their religion (Islam) over time, and then mixed with other Poles. This would cause some Poles to have Asiatic features without even knowing they are part Tatar. I am no Tatar expert but this is what I read from Polish history books. Today It appears that 5,000 people in Poland claim Tatar ethnicity and it seems to be a growing trend (people used to keep quiet about these stuff, even today some people still keep quiet about it).

News / Does Poland support the idea of Slavic unity? [142]

Some people do, not all. It is limited to pan-Slavic intellectuals, there was a letter coming from Poland sent to Russia about establishing a Slavic council not too long ago.

Pan-slavism never really died, it has its ups and downs but continues to exist. There is a inner feeling for peace and unity that some feel with others of similar heritage. Pan-Slavism if used for peaceful co-operation can be enough to counter-balance western neo-imperialism. Brothers to the end, even if they fight a little with each other. Yes, it can happen.

Poles are the second most disliked people in Lithuania after Russians,

And now it's turn of Poland to give back our stolen eastern territories, and, first of all, our historical capital, the city of Wilno, where ethnic Poles have always been a majority of population!

they wont give Wilno without a fight and then Pole's will be 1 most hated people in Lithuania
