Life / Another reason Polish people and Poland pisses me off [52]


In the US, it's actually fun dealing with the people who are just doing their boring jobs in stores and restaurants and are still capable of small talk.

No, I didn't have a camera in 1966. The pictures above are current as of 2017. My point is to show how things are now and why visiting the old places was not that much fun.

What is your point?

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]

I have no pictures from 50 years ago since I had reason to take them then. I had a good reason to take them in 2017 during my first visit since I left in 1966.

Repairing is one thing. Brainless morons vandalizing things is another. These pictures show where I used to live back then and what I found 50 years later...

Off-Topic / What do Poles think about academic fraud [6]


Your post describes to the letter what I remember about my school experience except for that back then life was technologically primitive and politically stifling.

The good thing was that it had no negative effect on us since we, as opposed to the woke boot-licking morons today, knew who the enemy was. If any, we grew up a lot more cynical and a lot less naive than the smartphone and Facebook addicts today.

You mean like this?

That's Marszalkowska, Warsaw, 2017. Unbelievable.

Any other reasons in addition to "the most tenable one"?

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


Excellent question, Milo. Another equally good question is why they were asked to leave, to put it gently, from so many other places?
Jews must have a unique problem in this respect or there is a world-wide conspiracy against them. They are the only ethnic group that has formed a special organization to fight their haters, the ADL, with total operating expenses of 70 million bucks a year.

Yet, Lyzko is so far unable to explain where all that hate comes from. No, I am not buying the Jesus argument.

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

Polish communists hated Jews in 1960's, too, and send them packing. Nothing to do with Jesus.

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

If I knew that somebody close hates Poles and is ready to kill them, I would take notice of this fact and react to it in so many ways.

You, instead of addressing this issue as it applied to the Jews, turned the tables and made me the object of your Post 615 - a transparently evasive move as my way of thinking has nothing to do with the events that took place decades ago and the historical records documenting said events.

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


Are you asking me?
If so, we are not discussing liking or disliking. We are discussing violent crimes, including murders so your question is puzzling.

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

Still too hard to answer a simple question?

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

I see you are back. So, what would motivate the pogrom criminals to commit those crimes - IN THEIR OWN WORDS?

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

My buddy did just that. Went to see the bully's parents and said: Either we talk or I will see you in court. They and their bully talked.

Before he left, he said: Do it one more time and I will hurt you.
The next day, he signed his son for martial arts. Today, his son has a martial arts school to show his students how to make themselves very unattractive to bullies.

The conclusion from this story: Jewish pacifism sure did not help them. The brave people of Israel learned that lesson quickly.
BTW, I like Mossad.

Thanks for making it clear.
I totally agree. What I will fight tooth and nail is any attempt to add Poles to that list.
In nature, few things happen without a reason. I have yet to see a victim that didn't somehow contribute to his or her bad ending.

Get what?

Can you please say the same in English?

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

If my son was bullied at school, the first thing I would like to do is talk to the bullies to find why they are doing it. That would not mean I would justify bullying but it would be helpful in my conversation with him. After that, if possible, we would try to remove the objects of their attention. Wearing a shirt with White Lives Matter in a predominantly black school is beyond stupid. It's also easily correctible. Just change that stupid shirt to the plain kind. Or move if you can't exist without it.

It's that simple. Except here where playing stupid is a popular debating technique.

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

Let me try one more time...

Jedwabne and pre-war pogroms were criminal acts. I got it.

What nobody here is saying is what would motivate the criminals to commit those crimes - IN THEIR OWN WORDS!!!!
I don't want to read any more interpretations, thoughts, and assumptions!!!!! Or about Jesus!!!!


Oh, cut that crap out. I am not going to cringe about what I didn't do. Just as we are told not to blame post-war Germans for the crimes of their fathers.

Should it go into Webster under "irony" or something else?

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


Committing a crime is morally repugnant and legally risky. Most criminals do it as the last resort, not for fun.
So, why would Poles do it? Did Poles commit "crimes" against other minorities?

What the hell is a troll farm? Are trolls edible?

That was sarcasm. Muslims hate Jews, Jesus or no Jesus. I just can't get him to tell me why so many people in so many countries hate Jews. It must be the best-kept secret ever. The ADL even has a map of hate, it's so widespread.

global100.adl.org/map

...but, according to Lyzko, it's all about Jews being blamed for the way Jesus was tried and executed.

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

You are clueless.
Muslims hate Jews because of Jesus. Sure. You can't make this sh*it up...

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

Indians from India compete, too. No progroms, no hate, no vandalism. Try again.

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

Post 574 lists the crucifixion as the only reason why Jews are hated, which is a total bullsh*it. They were hated by the Polish communists in 1960's with passion.

And by Muslims - always and everywhere. No, neither the commies nor Muslims would hate Jews because of Jesus.

Would you like to add more reasons to the Jesus one?

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

Spare me history lessons.
I wanted to know if YOU know what the pogrom participants claimed as THEIR reasons for organizing pogroms.

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

If you wanted to insult my intelligence you did a splendid job.
Sure, a bunch of guys all over the globe - Muslims included - would repeatedly attack Jews and vandalize their graves for something that happened 2000 years ago as the sole reason. Including Denmark.

Yeah, and I am Pope Novichok.

With antisemitism as widely spread as the ADL map would suggest, there must be a common denominator somewhere. As a victim, the first question I would ask would be: Why are they doing it to us?

Your evasive answers prove your ignorance of the subject. I expected better from a well-educated person like you.

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

Again, excluding Nazis, why are Jews hated by those who hate them?
