News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

@pawian
Poland could start military excercises near Belarussian border, start with a media campaign about possibility of war refugees from Belarus (like start preparing your homes for brothers and sisters from Belarus) ask EU for additional funds to start preperations for war refugees from Belarus

Democracy works well with an educated population that has knowledge and are politically conscious... The less it is, the easier it is to have it AS a Republic where representatives (experts/elite) do iinstead of the population and in extreme cases of neglect/low education dictatorship/kingdom

Something is wrong in Ukraine! It's not being managed at all or it's mismanaged! Why else would people emigrate from there? Roads need to be repaired/build. Cities developed, schools given priority, labour at the farms etc

Criminal could mean many things back then, one only had to back the wrong political group, then had to flee. Ukraine was the only option for that back then, land of absolute freedom from any state prosecution.

Like... There are loads of Ukrainians going in to Poland now, not Turkey. And those who go to Poland for EU possibilities, seem to settle in Poland regardless. Stable freedom is allways wished for if able to maintain it and being able to adapt to it.

Even tho there are factions in Poland, it's more of a democratic nature then the one in Ukraine with Oligarchs. Oligarchs gotta step up their game!

Considering that communism propaganda (Poles bad pany etc) isn't it strange that Jaruzelski became a general then in a "people's" army?
Almost as if he was fighting for the people and not power hungry communists :)

That is true @pawian
My family is a good example, from Lithuanian side of the family. They worked under Russian Tsarist regime in the administration (Just like the judges family in Pan Tadeusz) but, joined uprisings when called (On Poland's side of course)

It's only natural to Create distance between those that hurt you (either they hurt you physically or emotionally) one way is to laugh it off. Do I need to tell you these things? Haven't you studied psychology?

@Lenka
Better not to assume anything. Especially on the internet in a heated debate where emotions can easily run high. I try to be a cold as possible dealing with sensitive topics.

As long as it's not on a university level or told by a professor, I always remain fairly skeptical and treat anything on the internet as rumors until proven otherwise

That's how I think

There is a difference between state run and enforced "segregation" and private (is that picture from a private event?)
Having people do it privately shows their true colors, and then you can act accordingly (by distancing from those people or not buying their goods as you do not wish to support them)

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

@johnny_reb
Yes I have seen it, it was more of a security matter. Problem is they brush all Christians as opressers and persecuters of Hebrews... History of Poland needs to be taught! Just cause Poland is mostly catholic nowadays, doesn't automatically mean it's the most antisemitic... One just has to be in contact with Rabbi's in western Europe and compare it with Rabbi's in Poland to spot the difference

You are fully aware that any decent person would cut any ties/willingness to co-operate with you by posting stuff like that? No matter what you write, that act of repulsiveness bringing up memories of what German-Nazi's thought, did and wanted to do. Rallies any sane Pole or really, human being against you

Can you be so kind and take your bull dung somewhere else? Poland&Poles and those interested in Poland are not interested in any Race-oriented garbage nonsense. Talk to Russians, maybe they haven't given up pan-slavic ideas yet.

@call1n
Religion is for love&faith (which is why Poland is mostly catholic) and a safe haven from political persecution (love)

The hatred part is more governed by the state, but It's more about violence, Not hatred.

And when nature hates Poland, then Poland has floods ;)

Thankfully Poland doesn't have much of natural disasters.

Nature is considered as gift from God, in which mankind is tasked with preserving. So in a way it is sacred, but never more sacred then the one brought us all this gift

@call1n
Sacred tree? Dęb?
You a pagan or something? Trees are meant to give us fruits, not religion...

Also, hate leads one a downward spiral. Only those who can't handle love, harden their hearts as to not be "manipulated" or influenced by feelings. Either one owns or others.

But without feelings, you won't be able to communicate with your body. Which only ruins you, drop by drop until you have such a hole in yourself that only unquestionable love can heal it

There are many ways to kick a person, and if any of us misbehave. There will be a ban hammer (or at least a temperary Block from visiting this site.

Do not belittle the one you argue with, you only lose respect of anyone reading this. This is advice if you didn't understand me.

Post-war Poland was a mess, grasańci that robbed people (under the guise of those having power in the area, be it the resistance or the communist formations) and sometimes workers forced by their boss (money was hard to come by then) to attack Jews that were gathered, which then later was called a pogrom (which is right but, made by an illegitimate soviet-Stalin backed government)

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

"What do Poles owe to Jews?" As a history enthusiast I am grateful for a certain Jewish trader (guess what he traded) that wrote down about Poles during the early stages of Poland

History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]

What I read about Dmowski's stance towards minorities is that Poles could have any religion they pleased (protestant, orthodox, Islam) as long as they didn't have Jewish ancestry. Cause then they would have to be Catholics to be considered Polish. Not sure why he meant that, perhaps cause there were large ghetto communities that excluded themselves from the life of the general public (also own towns&villages)

Or fear of them turning to communism if not being religious (if a Jew was to be religious as in Hebrew, they tend to stick together like glue. Just as many other religiously connected people)

Last time I checked, it was Prussian dominated(Protestant) Elites pushing for communism in Russia. How on earth did vatican have anything to do with it?
