How do you know that? Do you have any information from the Russians we don't? Threat of what?

I agree with the first sentence but not the second.

That is why I asked for the data to back up the claim about the evilness of Russia. Every country - including Vatican - was evil at some point. Some still are. It's how evil is the critical question.

So everybody here who is pro X and anti Y does it with the intention to wind people up? Should I assume that you are never against something and pro something else?

How do you know that I am sad? Did you see me recently? Did I express sadness here?

Back to Russia. How many Poles were murdered by the Russians over time? As I wrote before, Germans did 6,000,000 during WW2, so, hopefully, you numbers will comparable or higher.

Please enlighten me, or is it that you have no clue and that being anti-Russia is a popular and safe view in Poland lately. If you do, I will tell you why, as an American - born and raised in Poland - Russia is a lot more important to me than Poland.

News / Polish IQ ahead of France, USA, Canada, Israel, Ireland... [47]

Intelligence - "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills".

IQ - the ratio of mental to the actual ages in terms of the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

It makes sense to evaluate a child. If the kid's intelligence so defined is as if he were 12, but his actual age is 10, his IQ is 120.

Eventually, everybody reaches the flat part. Does it mean that a 60-year-old genius who has reached the flat part in his life has an IQ of 100?

This whole IQ thing needs some major work. On top of that, I wouldn't trust the IQ tests as done today in the crazy world of PC. God forbid it would come out that blacks are not as smart as their white oppressors. Riots, fire, and destruction

Don't be shy. Please, do mention how many Poles were murdered by the Russians. For reference: Germans did 6,000,000.

You are so right. Those evil Americans deserve it. They raped French and Italian women in 1944 and 1945. Whatever money they could still find in Europe, they stole it and took it home. I think it was known as the Marshall Plan. Some plan, sneaky bastards. And then, to make sure Europe does not get too chummy with the Soviets, them bad Yankees stayed dressed up as NATO.

And now, they even have the unmitigated gall to demand that the oppressed Europe pays more for their own occupation by the blood suckers.

Are you mentally OK? 17% of the population of Poland murdered or killed by the Germans is "hurt" in your sick mind?

"Hurt" is when I drop a plate on my foot. "Hurt" is when I slam a door while my middle finger I would like to use now is in the door frame.

And since when is 6 "a few"?

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Do Poles have a logical reason to be afraid of Russia today? If they can co-exist more or less happily with the Germans, with wars, Auschwitz and the rest, what is it about Russia that causes all those negative emotions? Is it still Katyn and communism?

Do you know why being a Russian is used as an insult here?

German as an insult coming from a Pole, that I would understand. But Russian? Is it still about Katyn?

OK, Putin haters, here is your chance to claim that Putin is not a patriot and that he violently conquered Crimea with thousands of dead. Or were those the voters and nobody died?

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


What is puzzling here is that "you are a Russian" is meant as an insult. I guess when accused of being a Russian, in these circles here, I am supposed to strongly object with a how dare you or something like that.

Well, I would be happy to be a Russian. On my last trip, it was my plan to get a visa from the Russian consulate in Warsaw, visit Moscow, and have fun with the CBP and the FBI on my return. I was even planning to write to Putin and congratulate him on the Crimean job. I really like this guy.

Don't do it or you will risk going to some s***hole like Afghanistan as Poland's payback to the US.

I just talked to Vlad and he assured me that Poland is not on his to-do list.

You are wrong.

The Red Army let me join without any mental evaluation. While in Siberia, I used to enjoy shooting those poor bastards trying to escape. I would get extra vodka if I met my daily quota. Oh, the good old days...

My admiration for Poland goes through the roof whenever EU is pissed off.

I developed this Pavlovian reflex: If EU hates it, Poland must be doing something right.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

In another thread I tried to point out how we abused love into an almost meaningless four-letter word. Just like kurwa and f***, at the other end of the verbal spectrum. This thread suffers from the same malady.

We don't assign numbers to love to show how much we love what, but maybe we should. The strongest love is that of our own child - the weakest for the objects, or even a country.

If the love for your country you left decades ago is 1 on the love meter, how much do you love your son - sitting in his room right now - on the same numerical scale?

There is no such number, as both cannot be placed on the same scale. If you can, you need help.

You is editorial

Life / Americanization of Poland - good or bad? [49]

From Chicago Tribune:

The extreme formalities and politeness of Polish culture can seem circular to a foreigner, but it is a pleasant opening dance to many, especially older, Poles. Many men still kiss a woman's hand at the beginning and close of a business meeting, a social grace that might well be considered harassment in the U.S.

"We don't use Pan or Pani (Mr. or Miss) in our office but large state-owned companies still do," Tobiasz said. "You have to call the head of the company Pan Dyrektor and you cannot call him by his first name. In Polish companies it will not change in several years. But especially in American companies, you'll find people are open, friendlier and more informal."

I like friendlier and informal.

Love / Just started dating Polish guy - what is typical of a man from Poland? Cultural differences. [78]

@polskilova
Invent a no-brainer conflict between him and his mother and see whose side he takes and why.

If you don't like the outcome and the explanation, drop him and run. Few things are more exasperating than dealing with a mama's boy.

Also, say no to dogs. They will be sleeping with you or watching you while you are at it.

All of a sudden, I feel so much better having no mental agonies like that.

No, I don't love Poland. No, I will never move there. No, I will not run to Poland to fight Russia - my age aside.

Life can be very simple.

I agree. It goes with pride more that love but I will take it anyway.

Like that 30,000 Poles were executed by the Germans for helping Jews. The equivalent number elsewhere in Western Europe was a single digit. Whatever led to these numbers being so dissimilar, these numbers speak for themselves very eloquently.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

Going back to loving Poland.

"Loving Poland" means to me remembering the good times we personally experienced. First bike, first love, friends, etc. The older one is, the feeling of nostalgia and a desire to retrace the footsteps we took when we were young gets stronger. This is why I went to Radom where I spent 6 years living with my maternal grandmother until she died in 1953. I remember Bartodzieje and the creek where we would catch fish, she would later prepare for dinner. It was the best fish ever.

I no longer believe in God, but last September during my first visit I did go to the church na Sienkiewicza where I got my first communion. I had no interest in Krakow. Never been there before and I had no desire to mingle with "tourists".

Without those personal events, Radom would not make it to even a very long list of places to visit. So, do I love Radom? Nope. Am I emotionally and personally attached to this very average town? You bet.
