Depends where we learn our English, being on the internet writing/chatting with Americans or British or what movies from which country is most popular.

I do not call family "others"
And my surname and coat of arms were given to my family and lineage by merits not gold as I do not and never intend to have some kind of title that would belittle my brothers or sisters. Wether they are such by faith, blood or language.

Those merits were confirmed several times through history, so I won't question them. I have yet to confirm them myself in my duties, no matter where I am.

So far I recall one of my family members interest in our family history, went to Kalisz if I recall correctly and came in contact with an old lady which still remembered my grand grand fathers milk factory (not sure if that is correct in English) about how clean the place was and how people loved working there.

Then it was grabbed and looted in late 1940's, also on my grandmothers side estate was taken from them. Everything lost, thrown out on the streets.

You talk about taking wealth from others, I rather build it myself so I prefer nobody butting in on anything I do and share it with those who deserve it. Cause I use my eyes, even tho I am justified to call out for justice to the heavens. I prefer to build my own future, even at the cost of isolation from others. Which is why my relation with the almighty is so important for me, I have enough of people stealing from me or any of my family members.

It's based on a lie, it lies in human nature to climb the social ladder. Saying the ladder should be taken so that everyone can walk on it won't help if a chimney is blocking smoke coming out of the house. And if there will only be people tearing down ladders instead of making and using them then the house will burn down, I for one am not a pyromaniac and prefer peace and quiet while helping people instead of lynching mobs running wild looking for targets guided by intellectuals who are too smart to understand why we need boundaries. Pushing those boundaries to make a larger painting is quite different from throwing it in the fireplace.

One is progress, other is regress

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]

@Bratwurst Boy
Actually this beats Brandt's "Kniefall" that would remind of the Teutonic oath which was broken.

This act from the Bundestag is a far stronger message and might be far more convincing

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]

I am actually quite impressed, even surprised that the AFD didn't vote against it but, abstained.

This is a really good step forward to mend the relationship between Poles and Germans, as almost all of the Bundestag were for it

Reminds me almost of the Hungarian-Polish friendship decision

Genealogy / Are Sorbs Polish? Does anyone know about Sorbish enthnicity? [62]

@Crow
Poles are just simply tired of governing Ruthinians, Lithuanians or any nation east of Poland. So Poles have given them the middle finger while thinking: Fine, don't want to do anything with us? Have your freedom, see how that works out! We are going our own way in our own country without all of you guys if you refuse to listen! We want to build, drink good tasty beverages and taste delicious food. For once we have common interest with the Czechs about that

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

@Vlad1234
I can only guess, about Possible victory in 1410 against Teutonic Order, Polish king accepting Protestantism in Prussia.

Germans had a lot of grudges thanks to Hohenzollern family for connecting themselves to Teutonic order and Prussia. Adopting their conflicts and ambitions to HRE business and opening up for conflict with Sweden which started a new tactic of razing towns and villages during the religious wars in HRE... Which then "Lisowczycy" scouts adopted and used in Russia during times of troubles if I am not mistaken.

Swedes making a mess and pushing their nose where they shouldn't just so they can be pro-active before a possible attack. Just like Japan during ww2.

Otherwise, what reason other then political expansion is there for conflict between Germans vs Poles or Poles vs Russians?

*silly me*
Of course, Polish food and women
Just don't share this with everyone ok? Most people aren't able to handle it long term without getting addicted

Life / Is Polish church involved in politics too much? [137]

@Crow
In Poland it's the foreign minister who administrates Poland's relations abroad, not the church. The church in Poland has the responsibility of Poland's moral compass, not the state (That the state is heavily influenced is another matter which I am positive about the church does as long as it's about morality)

Why are you having such difficult time to call German speaking people brother or sister in faith? Cause of Croatians who are using the church whenever possible for political gain?

It's just a matter of degree, freedom to choose which milk you would like to drink from which type of cow is not the same as having the butcher operating cows to take out calves cause they didn't have enough white spots to be łaciata

Genealogy / Do I look Polish? (my picture) [375]

@dolnoslask
Oddly enough, I remember reading about a German officer on the eastern front being out of bullets and looking at his enemy soldier thinking first he was fighting the red army, after understanding it was a Polish soldier he exclaimed that he would had surrendered long ago if he knew he was fighting the Poles! Then a Soviet officer (not sure if in Polish uniform or not) approached the German and executed him.

I read it about In a book about Berling's army

If you don't believe me, then just google "red pill movement" they are actively working for the abolishing of marriage as they consider it one sided. Only sleeping with women and bailing as soon as possible after they had their fun, just spreading misery everywhere. This needs to stop

We need an open dialog in the Sejm, not more protesters in the streets. We need to talk honestly about this and not fixate on PO vs PiS contest.

This is about the future of Poland and not some football match

News / Thousands of Polish women attend Czarny Piątek rally in Warsaw [780]

@pawian
They are shooting themselves in the foot, don't they understand which path it leads them to? Trust in marriages are declining in the west, soon these women protesting now thinking they can find a husband when turning 30-35 years old will get a huge shock about who they will be able to choose.

It's a dark and grim future I wish we could avoid... at least in Poland. Men will soon lose interest in having children or proposing marriage if nothing is done. You should know perfectly well what hopeless and careless men are capeable of (as a teacher knowing history)

Those protesters need a wake up call

It's not about being afraid to use violence, it's about not using it. Or you saying that the milicja during PRL was justified in using violence? The state is not supposed to use violence against her own citizens, simple

Off-Topic / Are Polish Christians here? [160]

I regard the higher the taxation there is in a society, the less trust it has in it's own society to solve problems, meaning less civilized and more barbaric.

Not being afraid to seek conflict (verbally) is not the same as threatening somebody.

Do you regard it to be peaceful on this forum? :)

Off-Topic / Are Polish Christians here? [160]

@jon357
Don't tell you me didn't know that Romans regarded their emperors as Gods? It was the reason Israelites couldn't tolerate Romans or why Christians didn't bow to Roman authorities

And yes, coins from that time clearly states it

Do you know the history of taxation? It wasn't standard to tax income monthly until very recently in a modern age (to the state) it was used during wartime or to prepare for war. Check up history of taxation in the U.S, plenty of roads in major American cities and railroad being built across America.

I don't know anything about Zakat, I am simply confident that Jesus did not intend people to point guns at others to help the poor

What a remarkable proposal, I have been pondering over creating an orphanage actually. I would support it wholeheartedly, let's see how many in Poland would sign up for it

I hope you understand my position of being against rights and privileges for a certain group within our society.

As it would again lead us towards a dark path in our history.

One should always be willing to help those in need, wether they are rejected, poor, unprotected or without options. Creating laws that make the assumption that a man can't be trusted to take care of a family only nourishes that thought further.

I for one am not going propagate irresponsibility towards others. I have been quite irresponsible most of my life, I am willing to turn that around now.

Anyone is free to voice their opinion, either on the street, a forum or newspapers. To think it won't have consequences is folly however.

1. Coins that stated that Ceasers were divine were definatly not from the almighty father, so seek what is of the father, not what is of Ceasers! Forcing anyone to pay through taxes on the threat of jail or worse through violence? One is supposed to give it up willingly on an individual level to those in need, not giving up 35% or more of your work to brutes threatening you.

What do you call killing unarmed prisoners? Tell me how can someone not born yet, protect themselves from death? We are not talking about a single cell that has no possibility on it's own to become a human being here.

You can bend it no matter how, I won't agree with you on this. It's just wrong, if women even considers this I rather spend the rest of my time as a hermit. Hidden away from anything you would call civilization
