I do believe you. Any other German's assurances I would ignore; but you, I believe.

Thanks, BB! 😊

OK... maybe it's just my Polish paranoia.

Come on, BB - honestly: do you really not see the possibility (even if very distant) that Germany ruled by AfD would turn against Poland (perhaps in alliance with Russia)?

Even more moderate parties dealt with Russia over our heads very recently, so AfD is capable of much worse.


Jedno nie wyklucza drugiego.

Są też tacy, którym marzy się odzyskanie "Ziem Utraconych". Pamiętasz panią Steinbach i jej wypowiedzi? :) A to przecież dama Bawarskiego Orderu Zasługi (Bayerischer Verdienstorden), była parlamentarzystka CDU, a od 2017 roku AfD. :) Złamanego grosza bym nie dał, że miśki z AfD - jeżeli kiedyś będą mieli władzę - nie wrócą do dziwnych pomysłów z sojuszami z Rosją kosztem Polski (to zresztą nie tylko AfD), Lebensraumami itp. Jak ktoś jest naiwny w życiu prywatnym, to jego prawo, ale na naiwność w polityce międzynarodowej nie ma miejsca. Albo obudzimy się znowu w 1939.

I suppose it depends what you mean by "enough" but all the rich (or at least well-off) people that I know invest to save their money from inflation. Interest rates on saving accounts are usually below inflation, so keeping your money just sitting in the bank seems like a bad idea (apart of course from an ample emergency fund).

Don't know about those NFL players but if you diversify your investments (index funds, precious metals, real estate) you should be fine. The worst thing is putting all you eggs into one basket or fall for some shady get-rich-quick schemes.

Czyli mniejszość. Większość - 56% przyzwoitych Niemców nie głosowała na NSDAP.


Nie wiadomo. Możemy sobie spekulować, ale wolnych wyborów już wtedy nie było.

Jak już napisałem wyżej, nie można wykluczyć objęcia władzy przez AfD, a jeżeli czegoś nie można wykluczyć, to należy być na to przygotowanym. W polityce nie ma miejsca na myślenie życzeniowe typu: "przyzwoici ludzie ich zablokują", "przyzwoita większość na to nie pozwoli" bla bla bla.

In general we don't build monuments to political murderers in Poland. We can appreciate the chain of events and the eventual outcome of the murder, but we don't usually honour the murderer.


Don't forget that in Kosowe Pole Polish knights fought side-by-side with Serbians. That is why, until this very day, Poles say that "Kosowo to Serbia". We have very good memories. Like elephants.


What?

Let's see: first northern war (7-year war) - Russia was on the Swedish side, in the Inflanty war Russia didn't take part at all, then 1617-18 totally between Poland and Sweden, the next one 1625-26 without Russian participation, in the Vistula estuary war we were aided by Austria (but we had to pay half a million zlotys for it - a lot of money back then), in the VI Polish-Swedish war - the famous Deluge - Russia was actually on the Swedish side again. Hmm... you must be thinking about the III Northern War in which accidentally Poles and Russians were at the same side for some time. Nothing to build monuments for really.

News / Poland, Western Europe and the USA - What if Ukraine disappears from the map? [144]


Nope. Polish people go to elections and they elect whom they want: one time it's a Sarmat Kaczyński, another time it's a Kashub Tusk - depends on our mood. Poles go to Catholic churches, true, but you would be surprised how much healthy anti-clericalism there is in Polish society. We are the children of Slavija and Svetovid who worship Our Lord Jesus Christ on our own conditions he he :)

So you have to give up this "Germanic boo hoo, Vatican boo hoo" nonsense Crow. Poles rule in Poland because that's what God wants.

News / Poland, Western Europe and the USA - What if Ukraine disappears from the map? [144]


So, what is foreign rule in Slavic countries according to you:

situation A: Poles rule in Poland, Serbs in Serbia, Czechs in Czechia, Bulgars in Bulgaria etc.

or

situation B: Russia rules in Poland, Serbia, Czechia, Bulgaria etc. (directly or indirectly)

Something tells me that you prefer situation B, but to me situation B is exactly what looks like a foreign rule. I am a huge Russophile (and a friend of Serbia) but I think every Slavic nation should rule itself in brotherhood with others but without dominance of any one over others (apart, of course, from honorary dominance of Poland as the historical and moral centre of Slavija).

News / Poland, Western Europe and the USA - What if Ukraine disappears from the map? [144]


Such conflict is very unlikely as Russia doesn't have equipment advanced enough to locate Serbia on the map. After the sanctions were introduced, the production of microscopes in Russia plummeted.

Poland is always on the right side, and soon we will be getting our own nukes. When that happens we will, with broad Sarmatian smile, extend middle finger towards all those who would like to tell us what we can or cannot do.

Serbia would be well advised to remember that or we might consider etablishing Velika Hrvatska in the Balkans...



... to keep a watchful eye on all traitors of Svetovid and Majka Slavija.

Oczywiście. Przyzwoitych Niemców zawsze było więcej. W 1939 też przyzwoici byli większością. Niestety, problem z przyzwoitymi Niemcami polega na tym, że jak przyzwoity Niemiec dostanie rozkaz od nieprzyzwoitego Niemca, to on ten rozkaz wykona, pomimo całej jego przyzwoitości (a nieprzyzwoitości rozkazu).

You know what, after seeing Trump and Vance talking to Zelensky, I no longer know if I want to call you Anglo-saxon.

You may be right but you're too Anglo-saxon. With people like you in power Poland would be much richer and stronger but we would lose all moral superiority. Can't have that.

I already told you - life is all about drama, it would be unbearably boring without it.


I'd love to stay away from politics but politics won't stay away from me. I am tempted recently to aid our dear fatherland with my skill, wisdom, and integrity. Still considering.

Oh, and it's Byron.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]


Sure. Prus, Orzeszkowa, Konopnicka - all part of Polish collective psyche as well, but they don't cancel traditional Polish romanticism.


Dmowski was a serious Russophile and you're his fanboy, so why the sudden accusations towards us of being russified?

I don't agree with your assessment of Russia. It is a country of huge potential, partly wasted of course, that haven't said their last word yet, and their accomplishments - all things considered - in science, engineering or medicine are quite impressive. We are talking about a nation of space conquerors, literary geniuses and brave explorers, people who tamed the wilderness of Siberia, cross the Arctic daily in nuclear ice-breakers and possess the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Surely, you must concede that their achievements almost match ours. Almost.

Anyway, there's one more thing...




... what's with the practicality and protestant penny-pinching, guys? What happened to Slavic generosity? What happened to Catholic disdain for Mammon? Have you all become thoroughly westernised aka kurwified? Is there no more hope left for nasha bednaya majka Slavija? :(


Nie wkurwiaj mnie.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]


Modified, shmodified. The idea of Poland being the Christ of nations, suffering innocently for others but at least possessing the Truth (with capital T), was the core element of Polish romanticism and has, since then, been the very core of Polish collective psyche. Pawian is being 100% Polish in referring to this noble ideal. Is it similar to certain elements of Russian collective psyche? Well, it very well might be; they are our blood brothers, more so than either you or Pawian are willing to admit, so it's no surprise for me.


Were Mickiewicz and Słowacki victims of russification too? Interesting theory :)

Or maybe, just maybe, it is not Pawian or I who were successfully russified but it is you who were successfully kurwified by all those years you spent in the West? Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Iron.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]


Pawian, you talk like a true Pole. I really enjoy those moments of brilliance sometimes emerging from the vast sea of pawianism. :)

That's what I thought too.

@Admin

OK, I know that you will eventually make the right decision to switch to XenForo (or vBulletin) but you need time. We, Poles, are a stubborn bunch and we are not so easily persuaded. BB - do you see any issues with PF now? I see no reason to switch unless we have 1K extra just to "try," but currently we have -1K..

Therefore, already thinking about the great software update and the throngs of new members that it will attract, I am going back to my old username. People these days are not history buffs, the world has already forgotten about Good Kaiser Franz and Austro-Hungary, so when they see "Gefreiter" they will think that I am some sort of a nazi. Can't have that.

Way more expensive. 16-bit computers (Amiga, Atari ST) were more expensive than 8-bit ones (C64, Atari XL/XE, Amstrad) and Spectrum was one of the cheapest 8-bit machines.

Yes, I have to go. I have to leave the green digital pastures of PF. It's for the greater good of the board.
