You were born a Pole and your parents were Polish. You are a Pole.
If you had been born a horse, so obviously your parents had been horses, you wouldn't have become a hen even if you had spent your entire life in a henhouse. You would be a horse living in a henhouse.
Surely even with your ever-diminishing intellectual potential you can understand something as simple as this.
So stop picking on LGBT. There is no substantial difference between someone being born a man and claiming he's a woman and someone being born a Pole and claiming he's American.
WW3 can definitely produce another baby boom, Ryszard. It can also restore some good old traditional morals, perseverance and survival skills. Why are you so scared sh*tless of it then? You're over 80 so I don't believe that it is you holding so desperately to the pathetic remaining shards of life, so why??? I don't get it.
If Alien would be and post as some Mohammed from Germany, would you also treat him like a "volksdeutsch"?
Hmm...
That's some serious mental gymnastics right there, BB. Gimme a moment.
*thinks*
No. Somehow 'volksdeutsch' and 'Muslim' don't collocate for me.
How would that change your perception of him and his postings?
Well, I definitely wouldn't see him as a traitor of Poland who sold himself for 30 pieces of silver (or Deutsche Mark), and I wouldn't give a toss that he betrayed Iraq or Syria, so generally I would probably be more friendly predisposed towards him.
Would they change at all?
Hard to say overall. I would probably still be annoying him. A bit of fun on a Saturday afternoon.

It depends if Dieter was more like you or more like Tacitus.
Katrin
I would try to be a gentleman... but if she was a crazy feminist I sometimes might not be 100% delicate.
I am not saying Pawian was 100% right, and I cannot forgive for those who were killed by UPA. Also, I am in no position to apologise for anything Poland did to Ukrainians in the past.
However, personally, as a private person - Kania/Torq - I hereby declare that I no longer bear a grudge against Ukraine for either their historical misconduct or present inability to admit it. I pray and hope that one day they will be able to look at history also from the Polish perspective but it is no longer a matter of personal grudge for me.
Their bravery, sacrifice and courage changed my hardened heart.
It took three and a half years because I'm one stubborn c*nt.
P.S. Also, my past assumptions about the British were unduly negative and harsher than they deserved. I have come to realise that I might well have misjudged them.
Why are you mocking him? Do you know what standing by convictions and principles means?
I'm not. He did exactly that - stood by his convictions and principles.
Just like a leftist person who would say that some number of Muslim-immigrant-related rapes and murders are an acceptable trade-off for preserving the right of importing as many Muslim immigrants as we want to, and was later raped and murdered by a Muslim migrant. This person stood by his/her conviction and the fact he/she was raped and murdered by a Muslim migrant wouldn't change his mind.
We have to let God allow people to meet the consequences of their views and actions.
prayed for Charlie Kirk in front of the American Embassy at the Brandenburg Gate
It's a good thing they prayed. It never hurts to pray.
It's a pity the guy got shot. Nobody should get shot for their views (whatever those views might be).
Still, we have to remember that he was a Russian propaganda parrot - repeating verbatim things produced by the Kremlin propaganda department: that Zelensky is an illegal dictator, that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, that Crimea should have been given to Russia as a gesture of good will. He was unable to prove any of these things in a debate, he was even proven wrong on more than one occasion - e.g. here...
... but he kept repeating them like a propaganda parrot because that's what he, by and large, was.
If Poland had been invaded, and Trump somehow had managed to avoid helping us, this Kirk guy would most likely have explained to everyone how corrupt Poland was and that we were a part of Russia anyway.
provocations on the Belarusian border can't be left unanswered
Yes, I remember you said that and I agree.
Closing the border was the first right move and it should stay closed for as long as the f*cking mustachioed Romeo doesn't stop his antics. If it stays closed for long enough the Chinese will sort Lukashenka out themselves.
As for the Russian drones, well - Ukraine has already offered our soldiers anti-drone training, we should gratefully accept the offer, as well as all the offers of help from European NATO. Also, if it doesn't serve as a good kick in the balls for everyone responsible for Poland's anti-drone defense, then I don't know what will.
