History / Gorbachev and Poland [63]


There was no "cold war". It's a meaningless phrase. There was arms race and the Soviets lost.
This, however, did not have to lead to the break up of the USSR. Letting Eastern European countries become independent is another matter and has nothing to do with the breakup.

Just because the UK lost its colonies is no reason for the UK to be cut up into smaller pieces.

News / Poland to officially demand $1.32 trillion WW2 reparations from Germany [457]

...when the WW2 participants and their kids die off.
I hope that Germany is no longer playing the reparations games. If you decide to be stupid, deduct what you gave to and invested in Poland - to start with.

As a side point, never apologize for Germany First as a policy about gas, oil, or anything that burns from Russia.

I will do it after you explain the data in Post #7 and admit that there is nothing unique about Russia.

Be happy Germany acts as a magnet. Without that magnet, the scum just might choose Poland.

Nothing. There is an embargo on money transfers from Russia to Ukraine.

Suicide rates per 100k:

Russia 21.6
Lithuania 20.2
Ukraine 17.7
US 14.4

But, it's always Russia, Russia, Russia...You, guys, need a shrink real bad...Or at least Xanax.


It's a lie since RT reported it, too. Quoting RT.com - the best news org anywhere:

Russian oil giant executive falls to his death
Lukoil's vice president was in a Moscow hospital for treatment when the incident happened

If it's from RT, it's a lie. Simple.

Top managers in Russia - why so many suicides?

For the same reason why others kill themselves, including the US military.

How many suicides in the US military this year?
In 2021, there were 176 confirmed or pending suicide deaths in the active-duty component of the Army. That's a slight increase from the 174 confirmed suicide deaths in 2020

It's Putin.

It's actually very simple. Globalization means well-paying factory jobs out, cheap immigrant labor in = collapsing wages = two have to work to support the family = fewer kids = more immigrants "because we don't have enough people".

And the circle is closed. In engineering, it's known as positive feedback - a phenomenon good only if one is trying to detonate a nuclear device.

History / Gorbachev and Poland [63]


Of course, he did - at the expense of his country - just as Biden is destroying his.

You sound like Gorbachev's primary mission was to be a great international humanitarian. It was not. His sole mission was to do the best for the USSR and the doctrine he swore to promote - their style of communism. He has miserably failed to accomplish this objective. Your and my view of communism is completely irrelevant in this respect.

Just imagine a US president with the agenda of breaking the country into smaller pieces, returning all land to the American Indians, succeeding, and being proud of it. This guy should be and would be assassinated just like JFK, not celebrated. The assassin would be a new American hero with his own holiday as the man who saved "America".

History / Gorbachev and Poland [63]

A guy who presides over the dismemberment of his own country is as a traitor and should be shot. The US has a story to tell on this subject.

A new BMW vs a kid? Easy choice. A BWM will never get pregnant, be on drugs, or tell you that you are stupid 15 years after purchase.

...like to listen about your cancer. We have our own.

Back to the topic please

Life / Why Polish singers are not popular abroad? [101]


BS. "How are you?" is not asking for a list of your ailments, heart rate, pressure, weight, height, or if you smell bad today.
They didn't ask her, Do you have cancer? out of the blue. The proper answer would be, I am happy to be here, and shut up about damn cancer. Everybody had or will have one so having it is not like winning Nobel Prize in something.

Life / Why Polish singers are not popular abroad? [101]


My reaction is pure logic. Yours is pure emotion. There is no place for this kind of stuff in competition. Nobody goes to an auction and says, I bid 1000 and, btw, I have terminal cancer because nobody there gives a damn. Such things are reserved for doctors and priests.

Yes. It's disgusting to unload this kind of emotional crap to get sympathy votes. Why else did she do it? To start a gofundme drive?

1% of all humans on earth will die this year. That's 70 million. Now what?

I wish to show you that the way you write is not normal. Actually, it takes an extra effort to understand your pompous, high-brow, patronizing, pseudo-intellectual English. Don't do that.

Your last post is a good example of it.
I googled "benighted arrogance" and got 35 hits. In the entire internet universe, Mars and Moon included, that phrase was used only 35 times!
Plus one. Here.
Do you see the problem or not yet?

Back to the subject of the thread please..school issues in POLAND

Now, let's try the same in English....

I would respond if they asked, "Excuse me...Do you speak English?". Or, better yet...

I would respond if they asked me if I speak English.

Lyzko, you have a problem.

Not a problem but a reward for knowing the only language worth knowing. The rest is a combination of metoos and total garbage - Polish being a garbage language.

How many times did you put your life on the line for anyone in the last ten years? Or ever?

You couldn't even defend yourself if two scumbags broke into your house or apartment. If you can, tell me how.
Yes, I know, it will never happen and Auschwitz was a summer camp.

They need things. Things cost money. So let's kill them before they are registered. Is that the conclusion?

You are correct and my #71 says so.
I wish some reporter would ask her if she is happy being a weirdo. OK, being different. My guess is she isn't. Nobody would be.

Nobody ever learned a foreign language in school. A year in a Russian prison would be a lot more productive than 7 years in a school in Warsaw.

Instead of teaching survival language, the idiots make you read poetry.

No. If she untangled that mess it would still be the hair of a black woman.

Bilingual to me means that you think in both languages with equal ease.

She did and I heard her. Nothing special besides that she is cute and 14.
The song was so bad I was afraid she would fall asleep. It was so bad that nobody can actually repeat it by humming, whistling, or on a piano. Falsetto is a felony and she is guilty of it.

No, I would not want to hear that piece ever again.
And those damn dreadlocks...Disgusting...Even black celebrities agree with me and spend money to get rid of them to look white.

Yes, she is. A child of a Nigerian native is black and those dreadlocks are the evidence.

I don't watch anything black after they told me that white is evil and inherently racist.

It's hard to plan on the chance that there will be a war next door. Absent such events, Poland is free to invite our illegals. We can spare 10 or 20 million easily.


It's been an hour and I still don't have an answer to that question...What's up with that "orphan" argument? Not very compelling...Right?

By US standards, she would be black even if 1/16 black. Then she would even be Black.


There are many good singers here who don't make it because they are not minorities or don't have a tear-jerking sob story to tell.
