Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2 [698]


Exactly.
This saying reminded me of 1980s when I used to read excellent magazine Fantastyka which published s-fi stories by Polish and foreign authors. In one foreign story, I read : A success is like a fart. Only your own smells nice.
The story`s title was sth like: Invasion from the past.

Ra Ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra Ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the tsar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze

History / Why Poland is not Russia [260]


19th century anti Russian Polish insurgents` song:

Zemsta, zemsta, zemsta na wroga
Z Bogiem i choćby mimo Boga!!!

Vengence, vengence, vengence on the enemy!!
With God or even against God!

I first heard in at the theatre watching a patriotic play by Adam Mickiewicz called Dziady as a kid. It was communist time.

The difference is that in Poland we never appreciated possessed Russian Rasputins.

Only foreign bands came to Poland to sing about them:

At that rate, it will take them 400 years to remove all 11 million. Just a neutral statement.

The problem is none of the people in your photo promoted a neo Nazi party like Musk did. So, his gesture did carry Nazi symbolicism while their gestures were purely accidental when working the audiences at rallies. Ha!!!

Wrong! Joseph was never dehumanised. He went through a difficult situation as a father when he learnt that his wife bore a divine child instead of his. He coped with it like a mature male should when he loves his wife.

Exactly!!! A Paul from nowhere wasn`t the chosen one to do the fishing. He made himself one afterwards. That is blatant imposture and we don`t need to kneel down before his texts. Do you kneel down before the texts and portrait of Martin Luther King???

Yes, but you made it the OP post for your thread, which means it plays a matter to you coz there are hundreds of topics which are equally controversial for christians.


Anybody who believes in and follows Jesus` teachings is his disciple.

Yes, cos they needed cannon fodder for post WW2 Soviet invasions of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Afghanistan or NATO countries in Europe. Being killed on the road seemed a waste of human meat resources to them.

History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]

I wrote this about certain Polish nationalist let his name be forgotten.

He is pro Russian, in the sense he is ready to use imperial Russians as a tool for gaining control of Poland by Polish nationalists, under Russian occupation. Just like Polish communists did in the past.
The fact that he sneers at Russians and considers them barbarians doesn`t change his readiness to collude with them when necessary. His role model, top nationalist Dmowski had similar views.

What do we know about Dmowski???:

1) Dmowski supported Russia on the eve of World War I, when the division of Europe into two war camps placed the two German states on one side and the state of the tsars on the other on both sides of the future front.

2) Even after the Great War, already in an independent country, Dmowski tried several times to oppose anti-Russian sentiments - e.g, in the series of articles published in the early 1930s, in which he very sharply criticized Poland's involvement in a possible anti-Soviet crusade.

3) As time passed, he kept repeating more and more persistently that among Poland's great neighbors, Germany, not Russia, was more dangerous to Poland.

Not only. We also have blue berets - worn by soldiers from Coast Defence units. They are sometimes called Polish marines because in the communist past they trained landing on Denmark beaches in case the Cold War turned into hot.

Silly mockers laugh at the idea of Poland helping Taiwan in alliance with the Western countries.
Let me remind you that during Western engangement in Iraq or Afghanistan Poland sent a few thousand troops there.
