Life / Poetry and Poets of Poland [58]

Poetry, like roses, is for chicks and was invented by guys who want to get laid but don't have enough money for a movie and dinner.

You copied it from Dead Poet`s Society: :):):) Students learn that the function of the language and poetry is wooing women.

the first thing he did was light up a cig.

That was not only stupid but also extremely egoistic of him. If he wanted to die of cancer, he could refuse the treatment and let sb else have it.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]

I thought we agreed that monuments of ordinary soldiers should be left alone.

No, we didn`t, I still stick to my opinion expressed in post 188

That is why we have to pull down all memorials to Soviet criminals who first attacked Poland in alliance with Nazis and then "liberated" it only to enslave it into another totalitarian system.

600,000 of them gave their lives taking Poland back from the nazis.

Only after Nazis and Soviets, best friends and allies, quarreled with each other. Fekk them both.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]

Besides, this is what happened in history - both Soviet and Polish soldiers died in the battle for Szczecin.

Yes, Polish soldiers fought for POLISH Szczecin. While Soviet soldiers fought for Szczecin which could remain German because such were the plans. Even when finally Poland was allowed to take it, it was Poland under Soviet control, which was another occupation. Not so brutal as German before but still occupation. Symbols of Soviet occupation should vanish from the Polish public landscape. Fallen soldiers are honoured in cemeteries.

We talked about it tens of times. Why do you stubbornly repeat the same bs and make me explain such simple things again and again???

One more thing - it wasn`t only PiS who did it. The whole city council voted for the removal.

Your photos don`t show details. Here is a better photo. There were figures of two soldiers, one of them, probably the upper one, was of the Soviet soldier. This monument couldn`t stay in this form.

News / The Political Circus of Poland [309]

Minister of Health in the PiS gov was dismissed. He revealed sensitive info about a doctor who had critisized the Ministry on TV.

tvn24.pl/tvn24-news-in-english/polish-pm-dismisses-health-minister-adam-niedzielski-over-prescription-row-7284153

Niedzielski had angered doctors and reportedly many in his own party with the revelation about a doctor who had appeared in a TV news report flagging problems issuing prescriptions for certain painkillers after changes made by the health ministry.

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

Nigeriens in Niger, after their military grabbed the power in the putsch which abolished the democratic gov, are proudly displaying Russian symbols. They seem to believe Russian exploitation of their natural resources is much better than the traditional exploitation by the French, their old colonizers.

Hey, Russia lovers, if you decide to migrate to Europe, stay away from the Polish border! You can settle in Russia which you love so much, morons!

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

In communist times there was a cinema in Warsaw called Moscow. Soviet citizens from the USSR came to Moscow in Warsaw to watch Western films. Amasing.

The building was pulled down when the system collapsed.

Another Miracle at the Vistula River! The Lordess takes care of us after all although we are so naughty. .

Warsaw, Cracow, Lwów and Wilno.

You forgot Poznań where the Greater Poland Uprising of 1919 broke out - one of few successful risings in our history.

History / Polish Army Day [82]

but sometimes it seems like it only appeared yesterday.

No. 15th Aug was already a Polish Army Day before WW2. It was wretched communists who replaced it with their own day.
Interesting fact is that for a few years right after the WW2, the communist Polish army had its day on 9th May, to celebrate the end of the war.

History / 1920 Germany Lands in exchange for the Eastern Lands? [31]

They drew us into countless wars in the eastern steppes where we bled out and wasted our resources

Exactly!

Through that alliance with Lithuania, Poles gradually got involved in the colonisation of Ruthenia and later Ukraine which proved so futile eventually.

History / Polish Army Day [82]

It falls on 15th August

In communist times it was celebrated on 12th October, to commemorate the Polish Kosciuszko Division (created by Soviets) which fought its first battle at Lenino on the Eastern Front in 1943.

Communists barely mentioned the 1920 Polish Bolshevik war. When the system collapsed in 1989, their 12th Oct was replaced with a more patriotic day.

News / The quality of Polish media coverage [54]

Their headlines are very innovative and humorous

I still remember one from 1990s which was a headline of a short news piece about the popularity of German owned magazines like Tina, Bravo or Dziewczyna in Poland. It said: Bravo Tina, gut Dziewczyna. Are you able to grasp the humour in it???

What a load of

No, it is a beautiful rendition of the original poem. I would like to be able to translate like that. I tried in my youth but soon gave up after realising I have no talent for it.

They would kill me halfway trough it...

Watch the video I posted and if you do it the same style, those bar patrons will be flabbergasted and will buy you dozens of beers and drinks.

History / Polish Army Day [82]

It falls on 15th August. Why? Because on this day, in 1920, Polish armies successfully repelled Bolshevik troops attacking Warsaw during Polish-Bolshevik War. Bolsheviks, mainly Russians, were defeated and lost the war. Poland didn`t become a communist country as Lenin expected.

There are multiple celebrations all over Poland on the day. The main one takes place in Warsaw as a huge parade of soldiers and weapons.

The current gov is suggesting that this year`s parade is going to be the most spectacular since Poland threw off communism in 1989.

History / 1920 Germany Lands in exchange for the Eastern Lands? [31]

Now you're talking. :)

Forever and ever.

Would you give Germany its Lands

They are not its. They never were coz Germans stole them from Slavic Poles and the fact that Slavs had stolen them first from Germanic tribes in pre-Poland times doesn`t matter!

The ancient Polish lands are holy to Poles and Polesses. We protected them with out own chests and breasts!
Look!
See these two horizontally swimming fishes? They symbolise two major rivers: the Vistula and Odra Rivers. The first runs through central Poland while the other makes German Polish border.

We will never betray the Fellowship of the Fishes!

The Polish nation doesn`t get up in the morning for one billion. :):):)

The OP probably meant the Polish billion, namely trillion in English.

They would sour marple syrup on a sunny day with their headlines

Come on, show some sense of humour! Once a month at least? hahahaha
Their headlines are very innovative and humorous. Simply speaking, by intelligent people for intelligent people.

their commie agenda

Gazeta Wyborcza came into being in 1989, during the so called Spring of Nations, established by anticommunist Solidarity opposition.
