News / Coal-Powered Poland Refuses to "Go Green". EU Ain't Happy. [304]

One more thing.
What about pipe-line build on the Baltic sea bottom. How not-green is that ? Yet nobody udder a word about that. Where is the EU commissioner or anything they all keep their mouth shut

CO2 ? Many plants during the night are producing CO2 ! Do they mean to cut them down?
That is another BS and scam to make monies out of taxpayers pockets. I wonder why they call it capitalism still. Maybe becouse it capitalises investemnts into politicians.

News / Polish Lithuanian Diplomatic War? At last. [534]

You are Polish right ? You want me to cry ?
There was guerrilla war in Poland after 1945 on much grater scale and in the lands taken by the Soviet Union as well.
Let me ask you again what it has to do with Poles on their ancestral lands? You do not mistook for the moment those lines on map called borders as indication where those Lithuanians fought ?

Do you realize that you are babbling ?
What purely Lithuanian social movements ?You mean while they have been part of the Soviet Union ?Everything had been controlled by Soviets and if not it was political movement in guise of social movement and it wanted to be purely Lithuanian for a reason.

Now, Why would Poles living in their ancestral land would form any cooperation with Lithuanian nationals? I remind you we are talking about Soviet Union ? What would be their reason for doing so?

Unless of curse you are interested in changing people's attitude and not in herding them into a path of your choosing.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

Nothing sudden about it. And easier to feel decent if language works towards that not against it. Al living languages are always changing so let them change for the better rather than allow whinging about 'perfectly good words' to cloak some of the less desirable attitudes of the past.

In short I see it as a social engineering. :)To really change people attitude there is no need to change words. Changing words according to one given measure is a manipulation.

I agree that it is easer to manipulate or trick people into something than fundamentally change their attitude/mind.
One may say - whats the difference if the final result is the same.
It is not ! You can manipulate people into some kind of behavioral pattern but it is not a real change.

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

Welcomed just as long as they didn't want to live in Warsaw, given that for the majority of the time that the city has been the capital of independent Poland, Jews have been banned from living here.

And very good, your mantra and obsessions are boring, you are a big Harrie-bore!

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]

It's actually quite correct. The Germans suffered such a high proportion of kiled to wounded by virtue of the AK's limited ammunition - simply, the AK had to make every shot count, and had a high proportion of marksmen in their ranks.

Yes, that is correct.

History / Anyone know the name, if true... .... Polish Royal heir [40]

The title "prince" belonged to sons of currenly ruling king. Other Polish princes bought their titles from e.g. Austrians. The Polish idea of nobility was that every noble is equal and he can't use titles other than titles of their state or military office/function. So in fact even if some noble bought his title from other monarchies, this title was not recognised in Polan

It is not exactly true.
Poland had princes:
Those dudes from the GDofL who at the time of Union 1569 had been governing their own separate territories. They Mostly belonged to Ruthenian and Lithuania ruling dynasties and their progeny:

Woronieccy = alive and kicking
Czertwertyńscy -a and k
Massalscy - a and k
Puzynowie (Puzyna) - a and k
Świrscy

Other category were fiefdoms of IRP ie Prussia hence Prince of Prussia.
Titles granted by King of Poland and/or Polish Parliament:
Poniatowscy -a and k
Bironowie - a and k
Titles granted by foreign Rulers or by the Pope:
Radziwiłowie - a and k
Lubomirscy - a and k
Sapiehowie - a and k
Sułkowscy - a and k
Lichnowscy - a and k
Radolińscy - a and k
Other titles mostly granted after the partition of Poland to A Great Houses of Polish nobility:
like barons (plenty )
counts (plenty) ie Zamoyscy - a and k
Nevertheless there is no heir of the Polish Crown ! Period.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

Gross' books is that he writes only about negative aspects of Polish-Jewish relationships and Poles afraid that people abroad will have one-sided.

No, the all commotion about Gross is a fact that he is making things up as he goes.

Great! One example. Why not others,

Shouldn't that be a concern of Jewish historians to commemorate people who helped or attempted to help only to be killed for their trouble. Jews are so intelligent and generously high spirited people without malice, I'm sure that uttermost on their mind is to put spotlights on all the instances when such selfless and brave acts occurred. Also to honor those whose help their families or compatriots received, lifesaving help to be sure.

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

Harry
Still Poles have a long way to catch up with leading states in the world. Few colonies, few millions people to exterminate some territorial additions, few prosecutions of religion minorities and Poles should be there along those democratic and liberal countries!
