History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


Yes, it must be unnerving for you to learn that not all Polish lands were Polish from the very beginning. Sorry, fascist, this is history. Live with it. Ha!!!


Yes, and you demanded that Lviv and neighbourhoods must return to Poland. Be gone, fascist, with this thinking.


For the love of history of Poland. Ha! And I won`t stop even if all Polish fascists gang up on me.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


In the 14th century Poland made a little effort under Casimir the Great - one of the greatest Polish kings. Colluding with the Ruthenian ruler, Jarosław, the Pollsh king annexed western Rus territories including Lviv as their capital. The territory remained Polish till 1772, the first partition of Poland.

Here is the map which shows today`s Poland and old Red Ruthenia. You can see these borders intertwine.

Love / I am going to poland to meet my boyfriend's family and friends and need some advice [8]


It depends what kind of people you will be dealing with. You can kiss them if you see broad smiles, warm welcoming gestures and generally the atmosphere will be very friendly from a start. But most Poles aren`t so exuberant meeting strangers.

You don`t visit the countryside in the summer???? What about an immortal granny living in the countryside who you can go to for holidays???:):):)

PS. Don`t give up. You mentioned potato harvest. It might also produce that hollow sound in certain conditions. How?

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

Nope. Potato harvest wouldn`t last for weeks - it is a matter of a day or two.
BTW, what is the second object in that duo I mentioned?

Yes, coz this stick has two ends, You made it in time while some passengers on the waiting train didn`t in the destination they were going to.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]


Nope. I mentioned veg harvest. It means that one of the objects which produce the hollow sound is veg. What kind and what does it hit?


I saw it only once a few years ago here. .I had tried it in the US but wasn`t fascinated. No tradition for it in Poland.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


Yes. exactly, and they all belong to the Western world and think and act like Westerners. Partly through the language.

Poland, occupying the crossroads of Europe, was such Western world for those Easterners. Through using the :Polish language and adopting Polish culture, among others RC religion, , Rus and Lithuanian elites slowly became Polish.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


Or even three.....
Let`s continue. Why did I eleborate on the Duchy of Lithuania in posts 33 and 34 so much? It was important coz after stamping the alliance, Lithuanian and Rus elites in conquered territories started adopting Polish culture and language coz it was

1 essential to make a career in the Polish Lithuanian state
2 it was trendy in the East at the time.

What did it all lead to? Poland didn`t have to strive extensively to capture its colonies - it acquired conquered territories of Rus through the agency of Lithuanian warriors, sort of. It was the time when first Polish settlers started colonising the East.

Food / BREAD IN POLAND IS DETERIORATING [90]

Coming back to topic. Polish bread isn`t deteriorating - you can still buy bread which tastes like in old times. The problem is that all of a sudden your shop/baker`s which sold your fave kind of bread closes or stops making/selling it and you have to look around again and find a new shop which again closes or whatever after a year and the game starts anew.

I chose thunder coz his alternative name used by Slavs was Grom - Thunder.


In Polish piorun is a thunder and a lightning combined.

Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [339]

Alien, 2 years since you started the thread, it is high time I contribute. to it. I never buy shoes in shoe shop/boutiques , only in big shopping centres. They must be comfortable and cheap. After time it shows if they are also durable. If they fulfill all three conditions I mentioned, I go back to that centre and try to buy more pairs of the same line if they are still available. This saves me time coz wearing them out lasts two, three years. Time is money, remember.

To avoid making a thread about jeans/pants, I apply the same style of shopping for trousers.

To Poles who know history - Russian Pan-Slavism is just a nice term for their inborn imperialism. Poles should stay away as much as possible from it because it is extremely dangerous. Vide: Russian Panslavism in action in Ukraine right now.

Life / The Pole is happy when someone else cries... [75]


Why blaming Poles? Blame Napoleon and the French.


But Poles only defended what they considered Poland: Lviv and the area. Such was the thinking then. Again you missed.


Crushing what Hungarians???? You missed.

Three misses in one post. Not bad. hahahaha
