History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [341]


I cannot speak for Iron but I certainly didn't "see red". I merely vomited rather violently.

Genocide justifiers are a very special kind of lowlife sick f*cks. Somewhere between rapists and paedophiles.

And you are a genocide justifier, Pawian.

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [168]


Considering that Poles are undisputed world champions in complaining, then it's shocking that we are not in the first position on that list.

History / Recommended Poland's history books [251]


It could be called a Polish civil war, or a civil war in Poland. Ukraine was, as the name of the country attests, simply a Polish borderland. But to call it a civil war in Central Europe is to suggest that CE itself was a political entity at some point in time whilst it never was.

This Bohler guy probably considers Mitteleuropa to be essentially German lebensraum hence his calling it a civil war. Preposterous.

Sometimes?


You think?

What's wrong with you today, guys? The Universe was created so that Poland could come into being. Don't call yourselves Poles if you doubt it.


That's better. :) *thumbs up*

History / Recommended Poland's history books [251]


Little? Maybe Lithuania. Czechoslovakia was a medium sized European country, and Poland was (and still is) larger than Italy.

This Bohler guy sounds a bit like a German version of Dugin. Central Europe was never a political entity, so the very title of the book is nonsensical in itself.

I am a Pole and I do. :)


Well, we are a country of cavalrymen. If you don't have balls and bravery of a winged hussar, or proper reaction time, you better stick to trams and buses. ;)

The roads are getting better every year. 15-20 years ago, when I went to Czechia I was impressed with their roads; these days I'd say our roads are the same quality, maybe even better.

As for countryside cruises - sure. Where I live (Kaszuby) there's a lot of places where you can take them but one, called Droga Kaszubska, is especially famous and the views are breathtaking...

instakaszubka.pl/droga-kaszubska/

If you want to see even more of Kaszuby, including more of the famous Szwajcaria Kaszubska (Kashubian Switzerland), then you can take the entire driving/walking Szlak Kaszubski (Kashubian Trail) - about 140km long.

Sometimes on the weekends I drive to Szarlota, Kościerzyna, or take the countryside road from Gdańsk to Słupsk through Kartuzy (avoiding most of the main roads). It's a lot of fun especially in the summer with all the cultural events going on, local agricultural fairs etc. When one lives in such a beautiful part of Poland, it would be a sin not to enjoy it. :)

For the second image I wrote "patriotic Lithuanian man" and the heart on his t-shirt came up in Belarussian colours! Looks like this ChatGPT thingy knows a thing or two about eastern Europe ha ha

History / Historic Photos about Poland with Context [31]

Geometric Centre of Europe: 1775

In 1775, royal astrologist and cartographer - Szymon Antoni Sobiekrajski - established the place where the lines connecting the furthest points of Europe connect. It turned out that the geometric centre of Europe is in Poland, near Białystok, in a small town of Suchowola.

There were of course multiple mountebanks, charlatans and other quacks who tried to convince people that the centre of Europe is actually in Austria, Belarus, Czechia, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Slovenia or Lithuania, but we would do best to scoff at, ridicule and frown upon their ridiculous pseudo-scientific calculations.

Maybe they're just people unsure of their identity for whatever reason. Or maybe they have certain medical/psychological issues... or were led astray by Satan, or are simply confused kids overwhelmed with all the nonsense swirling around on the internet and in mass media. Why do you have to be so uncharitable towards them? They're people and as human beings they deserve respect. If you admit that unborn children have inherent value as human beings, then why do you seem to refuse the same humanity to the people you call "freaks", "morons" and whatnot.


How can you say that? If a person commits suicide, they die. Are you pro-life or not? Or are you only pre-born pro-life, and living people can die if they don't conform to your standards (whatever they are)? WTF are you, Novi? A pro-lifer? A Christian? A decent human being? Or a hater troll?

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [341]


Nothing comparable to what Ukrainians did to Poles. Whoever claims differently is an idiot. Whoever tries to justify the genocide that took place later is a lowlife.


What do you mean where I was? My future mom was in the 2nd grade of primary school when it happened. Also, in 1965 there were no monuments of Hitler and Goering in Germany and Waffen-SS formations weren't hailed as national heroes. See the difference?

News / The Baltics states rely on Poland as their main defender against Russian aggression?? [213]


Hmm... good point. No single country in history has ever managed to conquer Poland. It always took two or three superpowers to defeat us.


And whoever tries to take it will have a corridor drilled through their arses. Russia knows this. That's why it would be safer (and easier) for them to go through Lithuania. To which, of course, we would have to respond - not from love to Samogitia but from our allied duty - but it's better to talk less and do more than to rattle the sabre.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [341]


Officially the worst thread in PF history.

News / The Baltics states rely on Poland as their main defender against Russian aggression?? [213]


Who? Some TV muppets? Putin said himself that he doesn't want war with NATO, so why do we need this "we will hit everything in the first minute" rhetoric? And this is coming from a top general. Doesn't make sense. Let them concentrate on our battle readiness (which is still far from satisfactory) so if the sh*t hits the fan we will actually be able to cause some damage. Less talk, more action--that's what I would advise to our generals.


It doesn't take any Russophilia to realise that Russia is not a hostile nation towards us and doesn't have any territorial claims on Poland, and that any war with Russia would come at a very high cost to us, so even if it's "won" would hardly be a "victory".


Yeah, yeah - "nie oddamy nawet guzika" and "two weeks in Berlin". Remind me how that went?

@pawian
Hear, hear.

Looks like Tusk has finally grown some balls. Now let's see if his actions will be as strong as his words.

News / The Baltics states rely on Poland as their main defender against Russian aggression?? [213]


Zero surprise. *rolls eyes*

When Russia invades Baltics, Poland will respond in the first minute. When Poland is invaded, Germany will send some helmets and France will write a strong letter of protest.

Why do we always have to be the ones putting our arses on the line for others? Pan Generał Andrzejczak will sit safely and comfortably in a warm staff HQ room somewhere whilst it will be my head that Russian bombs will be falling onto. :-/ So maybe, just maybe, this one time in history, this f*cking once, we could shut up and don't stir sh*t even more than it's stirred already?

He was supposed to be stepping on a map of Poland, something went wrong there. :)

I tried to do a separate image of you but every time I was unhappy with the result. Apparently to capture the essence of a wild, slanted-eyed Asian/European hunter/businessman who is filthy rich, loves Poland, literature and international finances, supports Vladimir Putin and hates neo-nazis was a bit too much to ask of AI. I got ridiculous images.

I haven't forgotten them :) Wonder where they hang around online these days.


OMG... no way! People's online personae are definitely more obnoxious than they are in the real life. For example, in the real life I would never tell anyone to eff off and die of cancer; somehow online it seems a less serious thing to do. I wouldn't want to live in a world where people behaved like they behave online :D

Sorry to hear about the trip, it would have been quite an adventure!
