Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


You're right, I absolutely could. However, I don't make such important decisions based on emotions and feelings. I don't want to move to Poland to work - nonetheless should things not work out I'll at least have an MBA in the event I need to get back into the corporate world. It's always good to have a plan b. If I wanted to live on 10k-12k z's a month I would've taken the job at google Wroclaw or for a norse shipping company years ago if that's what I wanted. Although that's a decent salary by Polish standards I'd just end up spinning my wheels - that's why i prefer to stay in the US, keep putting aside money from our construction biz while launching a new venture which I can run from anywhere in the world. Seeing as the concept of entreprenuership, saving, investing and retirement planning is foreign to you, I don't expect you to understand that this is the safest option and the best bet to reaching a goal of semi-retirement.


I don't need to 'want' to be a 'real Pole' - I am one, unlike you no matter how much time, money, or taxes you pay into Poland you're still not a Pole, you're an LBH...


You're right my passport and birth certificate both have typos - I'm actually North Korean, born in Pyongyang.


Everyone knows you're harry. stop pretending. You came here with that username originally posting in the bialowieza thread out of the blue yet you somehow knew everything about everyone - me, johnny, joker, etc... even things that were brought up years ago and things that only a poster that's been here as long as and frequrently as harry (which curiously never posted since) would know...

Now I'm out for the night toodleoo

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Pretty much... myself and my family... such is life... why would someone knowingly want a bad deal lol


Rofl 'commitments'? What 'commitments' exactly? My obligation is to pay the amount of taxes that I'm legally obligated to pay - that's it. Should Poland be attacked, then yes I will grab my gun and join the fray. Otherwise I'm there to enjoy the fruits of my labor and low cost of living so I can live in a state of semiretirement and enjoy my life.

And wtf are you talking about 'benefits of membership' of the 'club'? The only 'membership of the club' is a thing called citizenship and every citizen has the same benefits regardless of whether they spend everyday volunteering at a childrens hospital, are a wealthy dude driving around in a Mercedes S550, or are the bum asking for groszy so he can buy another bottle and don't pay any taxes.


Says the LBH who left to take advantage of the low cost of living because you couldn't get any decent job back home... and you still don't even speak Polish...

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Like it's any of their concern... much less something that they're interested in what some dude on the internet they've never met will do or won't do


First off, I already pay taxes in Poland and regardless of whether I live in USA, Poland or Nigeria I will confer with local tax lawyers and accountants to pay the least amount of taxes legally possible. And FYI I do hire Poles. How many jobs have you provided to Poles by working in the 'native English' field?


More like a 'no strings attached' love. I've never been a fan of commitment. Even once I move I'll still keep an open line to the US and keep some money and stuff here in the event I need to move back.

Buuuut I do love Poland because there is very few people like Harry around. It is a society full of hard working intelligent people who balance a modern lifestyle with socially conservative beliefs and traditions.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

Again, irrelevant as Poland and USA did not have a mutual defense treaty - Poland and UK did which Poland honored, UK did not...

Yes it makes sense for Russia to be part of the talks and the group to be the G8 again. You don't have to like someone or even a country to discuss geopolitical issues with them. USA and Russia did great work together knocking out the ISIS terrorists. Nonetheless, if US troops were stationed in Poland and Putins forces killed them the relationship would sour immediately. Also don't forget that US sent lethal arms to Ukraine to push back the Russians.


Na Swietego Dygdy...

Besides, this is about why people love Poland...

And that's one of the reasons why I love Poland - Poles are fighters. They don't give up. We've been through occupations, partitions, wiped off the map, invaded by two super powers at the same time, lived under the USSR's fist for decades - yet we always persevered and overcame.

It'll be the same with the EU's dictates. We will hold out, along with our Hungarian friends, against the insanity of the EU. We will not allow our country's independence to be undermined and a socialist system be enacted again.

When PJPII came to Poland the Poles didn't saw we wanted money, we wanted wealth, or even freedom for that matter - we Poles said 'We want GOD!'

And it's no different today. Poles are arguably the most patriotic, socially conservative people in Europe. We fought hard to keep our traditions, our history and even our language from being wiped out. Yesterday they tried to defeat us with tanks, today they're trying to defeat us with bureaucracy and migrants. It doesn't matter - they can bring it. We're not going to give up and we'll keep resisting for as long as we need to.

Just as in the late 80's, our example is inspiring other countries. Back then, the Solidarnosc movement gave hope to the other satellite nations. Today, Poland and Hungary set the standard for refusing the EU and its ludicrous quotes. Europeans realized that the taboo has been broken and it's okay to vote for parties which will put the needs of native citizens first. Now you have populist nationalist parties in Hungary, Slovakia, Czechy, Austria and now Italy's government is taking shape. Now another country has been added to the list - Slovenia which too is rejecting the EUs dictates and asserting its independence.

Poles lead the way in defying the EU and the movement has spread - even in the heart of the EU's social Marxism in Germany AfD has went from being a total fringe party to the 3rd largest in just one election.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


USA and Poland didn't have a mutual defense treaty - Poland and UK did.


Nope never. Seems the British didn't either as they could've went around Denmark and go into Poland from the north.

The treaty stipulated as follows:

... in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence, and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty's Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power. They have given the Polish Government an assurance to this effect.

'BOUND AT ONCE TO THE POLISH GOVERNMENT ALL SUPPORT IN THEIR POWER' - yeah bullsh1t.... they didn't even give the military loan we asked for, let alone any meaningful military support...

British politicians said of this treaty:

Lord Halifax stated: "We do not think this guarantee will be binding".
Alexander Cadogan wrote in his diary: "Naturally, our guarantee does not give any help to Poland. It can be said that it was cruel to Poland, even cynical".

All Britain ended up doing was giving Poland 9 million pounds - less than it gave to Turkey and a fraction of the 60 million Poles requested.

That's what you get with a bunch of two timing cowards.... At least Poles now know who will be most likely to come to their aid...

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Yes, in France, not poland like the treaty stipulated which said thay british were to help poland with all their forces. They have a history of two timing though. They also two timed the Saudis and the Czechs during ww2.

And the british high tailed it on fisherman's boats insteaf of fighting rofl...


Lardy ass huh? Try 6'1 220 pounds. We can go toe to toe in the ring at a gym anyday any time. Lets meet in poland and get it done well see who the lard ass is.

And the reason why I'm still here is to finish a degree and reach my financial goal so I can live in a state of semi retirement once I move.


And yet despite all that poland still trusts the us to help them out. We all know how great the French and British are at fighting.

They can't even protect their own countries against unarmed invaders that are raping and pillaging their countries, settling up no go zones and a parallel society complete with sharia courts and you think thwyre going to stop the Russians?? Rofl!! Time and time again russia punks the UK and all they can do is wag their finger and say bad russia but theyll never go against putin and do the same **** he does because theyre too scared of him

Rofl wow they sent 133 pilots 5 years after the nazis invaded. Wow some help... where were they in 1939? Oh yeah they declared war, then sat on their asses until hitler was at their doorstep.


First off the decision wasnt up to me otherwise i wouldnt of left. Now that i am here i want to make as much money as i possibly can and bring it to poland, just like countless other poles, latinos, indians and other immigrants. Second, even despite all that poland trusts the US to protect them more than any other eu nation. That's why theyre willing to spend 2 billion to build a base.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

Poles shouldve let London burn, just like the brits let warsaw burn and refused to honor the mutual defense treaty. The British pilots were getting spanked by the luftwaffe because of terrible tactics. They would shoot enemy planes from far away while the poles would get as close as possible to them then open fire. It was that simple. Many historians say that the air war over Britain wouldve been lost if not for the poles. Poles.made up the largest non british contribution and scored the more kills with hawkers than any Brit.

All to defend a country that wouldn't help us when we needed it despite a treaty. They didn't want to upset hitler and preferred appeasing him by ceding parts of countries that weren't theirs to cede.

If only those polish soldiers could see what happened to the UK they defended... one trip back to London esp tower hamlets and theyd be glad that they sidnt live to see what become of the capital

Then its a bit over 3 people a year so what still a miniscule number. I was going by the 2 people a year cites earlier in the thread therefore itd be .0000000091 (3 out of 330 mil)

Again, far greater chance of death from vaccine then dead from tetanus...


Than why'd you bring it up earlier??


Yes, not vaccines.


Ah insults insults, when failing a debate thats lefties favorite go to. Atleast you didn't call me a redneck bible thumper or racist.. yet... again too ignorant and lacking in rhetorical skills to make a good arguement.

News / Poles march against Mandatory poisoning by vaccines [202]


Right.... is that why flu shots were proven to be less than 10% effective due to rapid mutation and new strains?

The reason why vaccines arent totally effective is because there's new strains constantly coming out. Most people who get stung by a scorpion will likely die if not treated. However many native Americans in the Americas Mexico etc have a baby scorpion sting their kids when they are young. This builds their immunity and gives them more time to treat a sting. The difference is that the poison in a scorpion is all the same. Whereas bacteria and viruses have all different genotypes tons of strains mutations etc thay are constantly evolving..hep.c wasn't even discovered will like 1991

And again I repeat, if I don't have the vaccine, you by your own words have a significantly lower risk to contract the disease and have a less severe infection..... so why are you getting your panties in a bunch???


I'll take my chances... But IF... and a very big IF at that.... I'll do the following:
I will have my girls wait on me me till I'm healthy - home cooked food, lots of hot tea, vitamins, etc. Ill make then sleep in another room or on the couch because 'i dont want to get you sick honey' but really its bc hate cuddling or kissing after sex.

And if thay doesnt work ill have them take me to the docs for course of antibiotics, antivirals or whatever other meds they habe for things like tetanus, measles, etc.

And if that still doesn't work ill go into the hospital under an alias, act super nice to the docs and nurses and have them figure it out.


So do vaccines... They can disable and kill you too..

Work / The Polish Land Forces (ARMY) - I want to enlist [20]

Yes you can enlist as a polish birth certificate makes you a polish citizen. Provided you pass the physical of course. I have an uncle who is a major in the land forces and got to visit the base a few times when I was a little kid. I've always wanted to enlist but alas life took a different turn.

Your two options would be joining as a professional soldier or the militia/territorial defense but that's more of a weekend training kind of thing it would allow you to have a job during the week. It depends whether you want to so this full time with land forces as a pro or join the territorial defense which is a volunteer force.

News / Poles march against Mandatory poisoning by vaccines [202]


Then what's the point of vaxxing for diseases that very few peiple die from like measles, tetanus, diphtheria, etc?? Why put nasty chemicals in your body and possibly face injury or death foe which you will never be co.pensated jist to May be protect yourself against catching something that a few people out of millions die from i.e. 2 for tetanus. 22 out of 500-700 mil for measles... seems pointless to me..


I disagree. I've never got a vax against meningitis, tetanus or tb yet have been around people who had them or was at risk of catching it - i.e college dorm for.meningitis, rusty nail.for tetanus.. Yet I never caught them..also 30 kods in my dorm caught meningitis including vaxxed ones. Yet I never did... probably because I have a far better immune system and dont eat garbage food and lift...

Also viruses and bacteria mutate constantly. That's why the flu vax was found to be only 10% effective. Its no different with other viruses and bacteria. If you had a bad 10 20 30 years ago you can bet that there's a new strain by now


Doubt it. If I wouldn't put that sh1t in my body ill fight tooth and nail so it doesn't go into my kids either... If they're older and want to vaxx thats their choce.. because unlike the pro vaxxers here o believe in personal choicr

The poles held out longer than the French. They never stopped fighting a guerilla war even with 5 6 years of the nazis occupying them. The French gave up pure and simple. Yes they were militarily defeated within a few weeks and stopped fighring altogether. They signed treaties giving up france to The nazis. Hitler even brought the very railroad car that the Versailles treaty was signed in to have the French sign over their country. Thats the difference. The poles never did that they never signed over their country and fought with everything they could for as long as the nazis were there.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Including Bernie sanders. Man do the poles in his home town hate that family lol.

That was especially prevalent in the years after communism collapsed. Not nearly as bad as in Russia or Ukraine though. And the former commies were all too happy to help. Most of them are now in PO and have been resisting lustration efforts ever since. Only a fraction of the dealings have been uncovered since. Even now po hates the fact that now its pis turn to skim off the top of the eu investment funds. They're mad because now the money for road constructions, building new gyms, new rail lines all sorts of sh1t all the contracts will go to pis friendly people. PO had its day and they ****** it up. Honestly I think if po was more assertive toward the eu and refused to bring in migrants then poles would he more trusting of tjem and theyd have more seats. But that was a huge red line for poles and the majority of poles can't forgive PO for that.

But yeah uou could buy a factory worth 2 mil for like 10% of the cost back then.

In ukraine it was similar recently ad the government was selling assets for pennies on the dollar to raise funds for the war as quickly as possible.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Reinhardt heydrich? That was absolutely worth it considering he was one of the highest ranking nazis and was basically in charge of the holocaust

Even hitler stated he had a heart of steel because of his extreme cruelty. So yes I do think killing him was worth it.


So if a squad came to your house, plunder it, kill your wife and rape your daughters you woulsnt do anything to save your own skin?


Never happened. Widely propagated myth. Seeing as horses were still one of the main forms of transport and were also used by nazis, yes the poles did have horses.

On that note there's an awesome video online where a FSA guy throws a grenade down the barrel of a Syrian t72. Now youd think whats a civilian going to do against 3 4 dudes in a tank. Yet he totally owned them.


Most nationalities revere heroes and dislike cowards. A lot of your statements though appears that with you its the opposite.

If you dislike polish people so much, poles as a nationality, polish history, and basically everything polish why are you still posting here? Its an honest question I'm not trolling.

News / Poles march against Mandatory poisoning by vaccines [202]


Again, if their vaccinated then they shouldn't have any concern for people who aren't.

If we're going by that logic then we should also lock up all gay people or castrate them to prevernt then from having sex since homosexuals are the overwhelming majority of HIV/AIDS cases. But of course youd never force gay people not to have sex even though they are far more likely to spread a contagious disease thats far worse than measles diphtheria or any of the other diseases they vaxx for.


You can still get lung cancer even if you've never smoked, inckuding from pollution. That's only one of the many diseases that are far far more deadly and have way more people dying from them than bogus measles with 22 deaths out of 700 mil in Europe or youur earlier statement of 2 deaths per year because of tetanus

Its a matter of CHOICE, if you want to vaxx thats you're right its your body. If I dont I won't because my body doesn't belong to society and certainly not the government

Also you have ZERO recourse should a vaccine permanently **** you up. No other drug is like that not otc, not prescription drugs nor even medical devices.


Yes.

There are a variety of complications, which have been identified and acknowledged in the medical literature and by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), National Academy of Sciences, including:

Brain Inflammation/Acute Encephalopathy
Chronic Nervous System Dysfunction
Anaphylaxis
Febrile Seizures
Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS)
Brachial Neuritis;
Acute and Chronic Arthritis
Thrombocytopenia
Smallpox, polio, measles and varicella zoster vaccine strain infection
Death (smallpox, polio and measles vaccine)
Shock and "unusual shock-like state"
Protracted, inconsolable crying
Syncope
Deltoid Bursitis

And VAERS specifically studies DEATHS caused by vaxxing

cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/vaccine-decision/index.html

cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm - lists all serious side effects for vaccines some of which are really bad. And this is the CDC admitting this which has a bias for vaccination.

Even the WHO admits you can DIE from a vaccine but they play it off like its so rare. The funny thing is they wont mention that people dying from tetanus - 2 per year, 22 out of 500 mil for measles...

More deaths caused by vaxxing
VAERS Reports of Death Following Immunization.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK236284

And thatsnjust people who DIED let alone people whos health was severely compromised...

But they habe 1 thing in common - they can't sue the vaccine makers because of the no fault statute


Good idea. Let's start with all the unvaxxed migrants....

Oh and of course Dr. Wakefield who the vaxx and phatma lobby has been trying to discredit ever since his report.

Some adults have terrible reactions from just a flu vaccine. I can only only imagine what 65 vaccines does to small children who don't habe the strongest immune system.

Besides it doesn't matter whether a person wants to buy the science for or against vaxxing. Its a personal choice what you put into your body. If I was a woman and wanted to have an abortion thats my right in the us because its my body, if I want to butt **** an hiv infected dude that's my right, if I want to chose aspirin over Tylenol for a fever because it agrees with my body more even though Tylenol is more effective accoeding to scientific studies thats my right.

If you want to vaxx, that's up to you. But then dont hate people for making the choice not to vax. That's their decision to make, not yours. And if you're going to use the line that oh its dangerous to the rest of society (even though that shouldn't be a concern for you if you claim vaccines are soooo effective) then dont stop there. Lock up all the hiv positive people and castrate them so rhey cant spread it, lock up all the Amish, Jehovah's witnesses, migrants from the third world (which the left defends constantly... oh and why stop there lets lock up everyone with a runny nose or a sore throat for the good of socirty

Now if you were nice to her and asked her kindly instead of citing some eu law she probably would've let you exchange it or give you store credit.

What happens in practice is often far different than the.'official standards and procedures. I would think you'd already know that living in poland since the 90s...

Earnings and taxes have nothing to do with voting power. We've long abandoned the standard that only land owning men could vote. Honestly I wish that people had to pay a certain amount of taxes and/or own land in order to vote. Itd eliminate all the benefits leeches votes who don't contribute to the economy. But alas that is not a determinant of voting eligibility in any modern democracy - citizenship is.


Gucci loafers for the summer... And fyi i pay business and property taxes too not that it matters one bit. A person can be a homeless bum begging in the rynek or a millionaire they get one vote - as long as theyre a citizen.

That's how it works Doug. So if you care soooo much about politics and constantly talk about po and commies good, pis and nationalists evil.. freaking make your voice heard, learn polish fluently and vote! Youve been there over 30 years for God sakes.... to me that's no sifferent than the migrants, even poles, who go to the UK or US live there for decades and refuse to assimilate, learn the language but constantly b1tch about a certain political party.

That's because poles are fighters. I know this is a novel concept for people who wont stand up to invaders and occupiers that are murdering, raping and pillaging their country. You say you love your family so much, would you fight if you were living in poland back and some nazis or soviets started raping them, killing them and stealing all your stuff? I sure as hell would.and I'm pretty sure you would too, even though its easy to criticize them from your couch in 2018

The French are pussies and haven't won any significant wars on their own since Napoleon. If poles had all the troops and hardware that france did in ww2 we probably wouldn't of been overrun or at least could have drawn out the war so long tbat the nazis would leave on their own.

Yes most were russians. For example in the polish military something like 8 or 9 out of every 10 officers were russians (technically soviets). Almost all the polish military officers were killed especiall at katyn. UB was majority jewish as were numerous ministerial positions.

The red army came first then the Soviet bureaucrats, agent d provacateuers, internal security, propagandists, etc which were propped up using force from the red army. The jews, minorities, and a small portion of poles were mainly a 5th column.

Even at pzprs peak membership was about a tenth of of the population and most of the poles that did join did it to get the basics they needed to survive and to have a half decent job, especially if you're a white collar professional.

As time went on poles saw there was no way they were kicking out the Soviets and they knew their fate was sealed. So all they could do was male the best out of a bad situation and survive.

Stupid temper tantrum seriously? Those people were fighting invaders who killed their family and friends and pillaged the country. They fought and died for freedom and independence. If the warsaw uprising was a temper tantrum than so were the many battles of the American revolutionary war which also lead to around 100k per side and destruction of a bunch of cities and towns.


That was mainly surviving jews, other minorities and a few polish commies supporting the red army and stalin. The vast majority of poles supported the AK and government in exile. The commies were able to manipulate the elections seeing as the red army was occupying the capital. And poles fought and resisted the commies from the very beginning from strikes in the 50s to solidarity in the 80s. The commies knew their system would eventually collapse and poles would never accept it and they had that realization when the pope visited.


Not at all. English is one of the hardest languages to learn because of all the different rules and exceptions. Even pronunciation is far harder. In polish as Spanish, latin, russian and most other languages words are pronounced exactly as they are written. In English thats not the case as letters and combinations often have more than one sound. That's not the case in most languages where a letter has only one sound.

But yes I Also find the food disgusting. Aside from like 2 or 3 things - pierogi (But only the cheese and fruit ones, the meat and sauerkraut ones I find nasty), potato pancakes and kotlet schabowy, etc.
