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

your sickening RuSSophilia a$$hole.

Relax. Kania provokes us on purpose. :):):) Later Russian officials have a chance to claim that proRussian Poles are discriminated and persecuted. Maria Zacharova, Russian Foreign Office spokeswoman, has done it just today, after reading this thread here..

wydarzenia.interia.pl/zagranica/news-zacharowa-mowila-o-polsce-natychmiastowa-reakcja-rzadu,nId,6781534

Marija Zakharova said that there are still people in Poland who "have a heart for common memory with Russia". According to her, such people defend the monuments of Soviet soldiers.

- The number of Polish citizens who cherish the memory of their ancestors is huge. It's much harder for these people because they're really underground. They feel all the "charms" of the liberal dictatorship , Zakharova said on Radio Sputnik.

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [99]

but it doesn't contain sausage. Basically beans in tomato sauce:

With or without sausage, it is practically the same. Amasing! The Polish net refuses to acknowledge the presence of such a dish in Bretagne, France. :):):)

News / Should Poland pay for gas in rubles? [194]

BTW, today gas price is lower than it had been before the war. There is too much gas supplied from countries all over the world which allows to exclude trading with Russia.

Hey, our imperialist Russian posters, you didn`t predict such a situation, did you, when you were threatening us with cold apartments in severe winter time??? You must be feeling silly now.

This is life. :):):)

History / Polish military uniforms - collar markings [74]

Maybe they are in some kind of dark background

Yes, very misleading indeed. It might be a custom thing. Soldiers, especially hardened veterans, often alter the insignia and designs on their uniforms to make them more individual.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

Their lesbianism is often temporary, situational, and an act of desperation

Exactly. They were so misfortunate not meeting you on their life path. That is why they turned to lesbianism. :):):)

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [99]

There are a few of them - they allude to foreign origin but strangely, are completely unknown in the countries which are refered to in the dish name. Amasing.

Beans ala Bretonne - fasolka po bretońsku. Big beans in thick tomato sauce with pieces of sausage or bacon. Yummy!

Bretagne is a province in France where they don`t know such a dish.

News / Kaczyński stirs up hatred between Germans and Poles. [20]

has not changed anything during this time.

Of course he did. For worse. 2010 tragedy to which he greatly contributed by ordering his President brother to land in the foggy airfield at any cost had a terrible impact on his psyche. I can say he became a monster seeking revenge on his political opponents for his own sins which he has been trying to sweep under the rug of his conscience for over a decade now.

Life / Why there is always around a horrible smell of sweat in Poland [220]

teach the French how to eat with a fork, but will refuse to wash their ass.

That is also historically conditioned. Do you know some French kings had a bath only a few times in their whole lives?? French customs and fashion used to be popular in Poland in the past. Ha!

Do you own a bidet?

Nope, but there are miniature washbasins in all our toilets and I wash my ass in them. Ha!

Genealogy / Perception of hair color in Poland [14]

Most people in Poland have brown/dark brown hair.

It changes with age. All my kids except one dark haired son were fair haired in their childhoods. Now when adult or still in their late teens they have brown hair. I have always found it amasing.

Life / Poland: worst teeth in the world? [98]

Russian footballers/hockeyist can play with their d*cks but not in the European/World competitions.

:):):) Thanks for the laugh. hahahahaha

Polish women are very pretty, but they rarely smile. Such is the stereotype.

Exactly, but it doesn`t depend on the condition of their teeth. Polish women work hard for the good of their families so they don`t have time to smile. Polish Mother and Polish Wife are symbolically serious. Taking care of the household, kids and husband isn`t a laughinstock by any means.

Look at the bust monument to Polish Mother. Is she smiling????

Yes, PiS is promising they will provide free medicine to the +65 elderly and kids. Yet, last year, they suspended funding medicine for the 75+ and pregnant women. Those rightists are amasing liars, indeed!

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

nor my evident lack of deep romantic love for a certain segment of Ukrainian society (which I like to tenderly call banderopithecs)

The protesters didn `t display any symbols of Bandera. Yet, you still call them a mob and regret the Polish police didn`t disperse them as it they were a bunch of violent drunk football fans rioting in streets.

Such an attitude means you are biased against common Ukrainians. Why are you so reluctant to admit it? Amasing! :):):).

There are laws and international conventions that we - as a Latin civilisation country

The point of seeing depends on the point of sitting. :):) If Poland was attacked and invaded by Russia and refugee Poles protested in a similar fashion in Berlin or Paris against Russian imperialism, would you also call for the German or French police to abide to law and international conventions ???? :):):) You are really amasing now.

Now, let's not get too emotional here.

If you mean me, then you are making the third mistake in this thread. I am not emotional, I am just stating facts which are clearly visible in your posts. Emotional would be, according to your words, slinging mud at you. It didn`t happen although you were looking forward to it so eagerly. :):):):):):)

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

My solution is simple: the police should have dispersed the mob

You are a really crazy provocateur.... :):):)

we allow angry Ukrainian mob to run things.

Yes, we know you are prejudiced against common Ukrainians, you hinted at it before. However, I already said: nothing serious happened, the ambassador didn`t get hurt, Russia is gathering the storm it initiated, patriotic Ukrainians only display their desperation over death and destruction in their country caused by Russians.

to visit Katyń last month. No such thing happened.

But Paulina already enlightened you that Poland hadn`t attacked Russia so it wouldn`t be the same. Why don`t you listen to her? - stop mixing two different things.

the end of Nazi-German nightmare.

And that end meant the beginning of the communist nightmare of stalinist oppression.

The Red Army liberated Poland.

Logical fallacy. You can`t liberate a country by making it communist. It is simply impossible. Liberty and communism are on two opposing sides. :):):)

The ambassador went there knowing well what might happen and maybe even to provoke such situation, imho.

Exactly. He regreted afterwards nobody had tried to make him even a bigger martyr by pouring paint on him again.

Come and lay flowers on Hitler`s grave (if it existed) in gratitude for saving your life in 1944. :):):)

Travel / What is the weather like in Poland where you are now? [211]

Ice Saints or blackthorn winter phenomenon is called Cold Gardeners or Cold Sophie in Poland. Sophie coz 14 May is the name day for Sophie - Zofia.

This year it isn`t so bad. But I remember 3 years ago when the Cold Sophie damaged half of my young plants like tomatoes or aubergines.

Hołownia is their man in case PiS loses and the opposition takes power.

How should we know that you aren`t a PiS Church agent who is trying to belittle and diminish Hołownia here so that PiS can win the elections? You admitted recently to returning to RC Church after a time of separation. Ha!!

Of course not. How can they win if they are losing all the time???

digging out dead Soviet soldiers.

It already took place long ago. The remains of Soviet soldiers originally buried in city squares and streets were exhumated and moved to proper places like war cemeteries.

you are getting old and demented

No, I feel rejuvenated and in good mental condition due to spring and various positive outcomes to my previous problems. :):):)

when have I ever proved anything on this board???

You see? That is why we consider your claims as unjustified erroneous private opinions. :):):):) The Ukrainian patriots protested against the Russian war. They took advantage of the opportunity and can`t be blamed for that.

We are either a lawful country

Yes, in a lawful country a group of people have a right to stage protests.

Now, tell us your solution to the problem. We would gladly read and learn. :):):)

They didn't come to protest against the war

Prove it!

led by the ambassador Krzysztof Krajewski, visited our cemetery in Katyń without any obstacles from the Russian side.

It wouldn`t be the same if Russians had obstructed the ceremony at the cemetery of Polish POWs murdered by the USSR whose heritage is fully acknowledged by modern Russia. You are applying incorrect proportions now.

Was the Russian delegation properly protected from the mob by the police (as they should be)? No.

Of course they were. Was the ambassador attacked and hurt??? No. Was he splashed with red paint like 1 year ago? No. So? What`s your problem??? :):):)

we don't really know who's pulling his strings (probably the Church)

Amasing. I have never come across such a suspicion concerning Hołownia. He does admit his adherence to religious values and lay people critisize and reject him for that. But walking on the leash of the RC Church??? A more enlightened, less controvercial version of a typical rightist?

It is the first time I have heard about a pet monkey escape. Snakes and iguanas no longer attract attention so people started keeping monkeys.

Here the little monkey escaped onto a tree and refused to come back home. Stupid or what?

I, for once, am deeply ashamed about the incident.

.
I cannot find any shame in me about that incident. Russians sowed the wind so they are gathering the storm now. Isn`t it natural, obvious and fully justified that people have come to the place to protest against the brutal war Russians started and are still waging as well as their war crimes?

Do you think I am indecent with such thinking??? :):):)

the mob (consisting mostly of Ukrainians)

They were patriots of Ukraine, not mob. You are misjudging people all the time. :(:(:(

They also robbed, raped and killed many Poles and burned their houses

Yes, the Red Army was infamous for such acts. That is why Kania`s claims they saved us from Nazi oppression while they in fact introduced their own oppression is amasing.

Very controversial opinion you have adopted.

Kania, like all of us, loves stirring controvercy from time to time and writes things he doesn`t really believe himself, especially when commenting on my contribution. He had done it a few times before and even admitted to it. :):):)

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

but why destroy the monuments of soldiers?

You are making a mistake now. Those aren`t monuments to soldiers, but to the Red Army which, let me remind you, bravely attacked Eastern Poland in alliance with Nazi Wehrmacht in 1939. The Polish officers who became POWs then, perished in mass executions. Soviets colluded with Nazis in destroying Poland in 1939 and later on.

gave their lives to kick Nazis out of Poland;

Soviets didn`t have to liberate Poland. Americans would easily do it in 1945 after dropping a few atomic bombs on German cities, forcing Nazis to surrender unconditionally, like Japan did. Additionally, Warsaw would have been spared too coz Poles wouldn `t have felt pressed to start a rising to capture the city before Soviets did.

I would leave the monuments for soldiers alone

Individual soldiers of the Red Army are honoured in cemeteries which are well taken care of. The Red Army monuments still exisitng here are a scandal.
