News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]

In 33 minute of the eleventh episode in second series of four tankmen and a dog it's showed the message received to Polish people armed forces:

"Do generałów, oficerów, podoficerów i żołnierzy wojska Polskiego. Towarzysze broni chwalą odniesionych zwycięstw swoim potem i krwią, zdobyliście prawo gromienia berlińskiego ugrupowania nieprzyjaciela i uczestniczenia w szturmie na Berlin"

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]

I recently visited the Museum of Warsaw Uprising with my family.

Great! (That you visited the museum)

Yeah, the destruction, theft, slave labour, child kidnapping and hunt for elites, closing universities etc. Add to that holocaust, torture, degradation, mistrust of any ethnicity that's not Polish enough cause of events in 1939.

Oh yeah, movie "Our fathers" also reflects the general sentiment too. Poles seen as antisemites.

Trade sure, it's a way to make up for the past. Anything more then that? I would be wary

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]

The increasing popularity of

It's cause they set themselves as different then the establishment and try to envision themselves as the only competent force in Poland. (Too much critisizing others for my taste, but it's the norm in Poland... In America too in political fighting)

If Poland has learned anything last 20 years is that America pushes in and out as it pleases internationally depending on political body and whims of it's population. If Poland falls out with the American public it will be coined and used with great pleasure by the likes of #Novi

That alone can be a great argument to atleast have still a embassy in Russia.

EU is not solidified with her outer borders and it's too uncertain how the issue of non-EU migrants abusing the Schengen treaty will affect relations with Germany, rest of EU and western states.

Poland needs a lifeline, Russia can be that lifeline. Just how many rubles will that lifeline cost?

Genealogy / Polish and gypsy traditions [140]

You remind me of pawian - two a$$holes

You are starting to see the patterns.

Also try to notice any member of the left being critical (or precisely not) of:
1. Jews
2. Homosexuals
3. Czechs
4. Poles
5. Russians
6. Gypsies

(Hint, they were prisoners by Nazi Germany in Death/concentration camps)

Some were defended more vigorously but, situation in world politics can change it. Like modern state of "Israel" switching sides in the 60's and Poland rebelling against the Soviet Union.

For many of the left, defending those minorities equalises to fighting Nazi's or Nazi like minded individuals. (Pawian also added women in general and if feminism is popular, it's also added to the mix)

History / "How Poles Built Russia... [26]

are not very profitable.

Not to mention tourism could been huge in Siberia, with dog sleds tracking. A adventure for a whole week with stops at outposts with drinking parties due to it's wasteful terrain (few countries could compete with it).

Furniture, wooden spoons and forks (there is a trend for it lately) (massive amounts of forests in eastern Russia?).

Toy factories (oil->plastics->toys or out of wood)

But for that to be exported international relations would have to be improved or it would need to be very niche for it to enter the Chinese market

History / "How Poles Built Russia... [26]

Nope. There are plans for our own vehicle

Finland seem to know about production of combat vehicles and it has a lot of lakes. It's a no brainer to me that the development of a multipurpose cheap Amphibian military-transport-rescue vehicle would benefit both Finland and Poland.

(Not to mention Norway in a situation like Utøya again, but not sure Norway is ready to talk about it. Which is why I suggest Finland)

@WarSore
Your sarcasm is easy to spot even in writing, comedy about Catholic Church is simply distasteful in my opinion. Some things should never be laughed about, what's next? Your mom? Your family? How about your hobby and what you love? Or people who do something good for the world. Some people just need to turn everyone into a participant of a circus for a reason, and that reason is highly troublesome

News / Poland to introduce border controls with Germany and Lithuania [101]

when Poland stops pushing their illegals over the german border,

The state of Poland is doing no such thing. On the other hand a lot of Polish citizens are for sure helping with transport for a quick buck, similar in Ukraine, Russia or Lithuania too. Thinking it will be Germany's problem anyways and they can earn cash.

For Germany to start pushing back on this without co-operation with state actors in Poland, makes it seem Germany tries to undermine state legitimacy. Forcing a negative response even from a Pro-German prime minister. It all was handled very bad in a bad situation. This is not the way to solve this.

. I knew it.

Hear hear

You're German btw right?

I recommend reading my profile, check out Wikipedia about battle of Grunwald in 1410 and my surname originated from somewhere in Pommerania. But no, I am not German

Your not the first nor the last probably to make that mistake *sigh*

criticise themselves

I tend to think the self critiscism is more private and time of reflection is done privately. British however don't mind doing it publicly and having little distance to themselves. Just a different approach

It's not dead, but plenty of members trying to kill it. If you haven't noticed.

Either way hopefully BBC is able to improve and able to compete with other digital platforms regardless of language used. Most TV stations are horribly outdated and quality remains poor

Poland is very non-catholic

People abroad don't know that, and won't believe it.
They rather want to be paranoid about Polish rightwingers.

What has the Polish right done to France? U.K? U.S.A? Ireland? Denmark? Norway? Italy? Spain?

Tell us! They simply blame Poland unconsciously for ww2 for not laying down it's arms in 1939! They would rather Poland didn't fight, let Germany have France on it's own and march on Moscow successfully while flooding Polish fields red with blood to their own content. They have no good will towards Poland, not minding Poland disappearing from the map, not minding birth numbers going down and for Poland to have zero impact or importance in their life. Most westerners were happy and comfortable with a Germany/Austria/Russia controlled Poland as long as none of those countries waged war against them, then their tune changes temporarily. Do not let yourself be deceived.

A goal of having women kill their own babies and promoting men putting their instruments in the wrong hole with the wrong sex is beyond ridiculous.

Just because I don't advocate putting idiots in to furnaces and burning them alive or dead after gassing them. Does not mean I have to lose my marbles and be illogical...

(but being the Catholic church's

Jesus Christ isn't only for the British isles but, for everyone in the world. Get over yourself, a marriage is not a civil dispute but, a holy union.

I have never understood this selfish desire to try and be God among so many leaders in great powers around the world. It sounds like some sort of sickness of not feeling important enough or something

Noszenie torby, drewna, kobiet, sprzętu i zbyt ciężkich materiałów. Bardzo normalne

Jaki powód by miała kobieta by nosić cokolwiek dla faceta oprócz dzieci, piwa lub kanapek? Bądźmy rozsądni

Yorkshire

Hmm

Very difficoult, production of Yorkshire Bacon probably can't be sold in the entire U.K. how could Poland potentially import it then otherwise only in small numbers with high prices? Danish bacon would be the only sensible option as they have a huge export of it already.

Never deprive Englander of his bacon.

Indeed, Poland needs increased Danish imports of bacon to increase security of English immigrants and tourists.

Po polsku / Wojna między płciami - To nonsens! [9]

Od czasu do czasu zauważam wojowanie pewnych członków tego forum bijących się przy pomocy liter łacińskiego alfabetu. Chciałem ułatwić tą bijatykę przenosząc ją tutaj, na dodatek utrudniając pewnym członkom i doprowadzenie do frustracji mając to po Polsku. :)

Rzecz biorąc według mnie jak każdy człowiek (nie patrząc na płeć) ma swoje jasne i ciemne strony. Nie patrząc na poziom inteligencji, doświadczenie z światem lub wiedzy.

Tu moja lista, proszę by każdy członek forum by dodał swoją listę i by dodał z obu płci. A nie tylko z jednej strony...

Ciemnie strony mężczyzn:
-Fizyczna agresja (w formie bicia, tortur fizycznych, gwałtów i prowadzenie wojen)
- Kradzenie
- Zbyt surowe osądzenie osoby
-Poszukiwanie władzy każdym kosztem

Jasne strony mężczyzn:
- Obrona swoich bliskich przed przestępstwem i nawet obcych ludzi, zwłaszcza niewinnych kobiet.
- Głębokie zainteresowanie pewnym fachem na wysokim szczeblu i talent w pewnych dziedzinach.
- Złota rączka
- Siła fizyczna (do noszenia i przeprowadzenia ciężkich zadań)

Ciemne strony kobiet:
-Szerzenie plotek o innych ludziach
-Izolowanie ludzi w społeczeństwie jak się z nimi się nie zgadza lub nie lubi
-Wyzyskiwanie systemu prawnego jako broń przeciwko swojemu mężu
-Częste użycie własnych dzieci jako tarcza lub broń przeciwko swoim bliskim

Jasne strony kobiet
-Opiekuńcze
-Duże poczucie sprawiedliwości i chęć by każdy miał swoją porcję jedzenia
-Potrzebę dobrego wizerunku w społeczeństwie (chęć pomocy innym ludziom)
-Duże skupienie na innych ludziach, zwłaszcza na płaszczyźnie uczuciowym
-Rola matki (wręcz bezwględnie ważna dla niemowlaka by mógł zdrowo dorastać)

Oh it has, but you need to block the users again after a time. I just don't read the forum if I see to many fresh posts by the "forum members of the blacklisted" upon opening the site and do something else instead.

Poles are often very critical about Poland.

A trait shared with a certain culture that was very much present in Poland in the past that contributed to Polish culture and way of life. Complaining too

America won't stand idly when we're invaded (and they might be right).

Well... ask any American what they think of losing customers that buy any of their military hardware cause they got invaded by somebody else and would be forced to buy from somebody else and NOT American guns anymore.

Hope you get the picture

History / Why didn't Britain declare war on USSR for invading Poland in 1939? [103]

@jon357
That somehow fought against Tyrannical Empires (while being one itself of course) while Great Britain didn't mind Europe turning Tyrannical as long as the French didn't lead it.

it doesn't matter if ol blighty

You really trying to convince me that U.K had nothing to do with a major victory against Nazi Germany in 1940 Narvik? That it was worlds only hope in one of Europe's darkest hours until U.S.A got attacked by Japan?

You honestly think U.S.A wanted to get involved in Europe at all in ww2? You are not convincing me.

Roosevelt was more concerned about cattle in Poland then anything else, he wouldn't have blinked an eye if Poland turned in to what the Nazi Germans envisioned themselves Poland to be. He wanted all the world except U.SA, U.K, China and Soviet Union to be 100% fully disarmed

History / Why didn't Britain declare war on USSR for invading Poland in 1939? [103]

So in summary,

In summary they were, but did not participate themselves out of solidarity if you want to be "technical"

You are brainwashed by PRL propaganda (and so many other Poles). If anyone was to be blamed for 1939 situation it's U.S.A's isolationism, France's shameless and cynical use of Poland as a wooden shield and Soviet Union's imperial ambitions. U.K truly couldn't have anything better then it did.

U.K might and power was mostly on paper, that it even resiliently withstood the Air Blitz is a miracle and gave a chance for the world to get rid of Nazism.

Poland has a lot of rightful and just complaints towards France mainly. (May that language never be spoken in Poland)

U.K? Regarding ww2? Not so much, Great Britain right before Napoleon is another story
