Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]


I would say it was rather defensive as the concept of the word comes from the word "Polak" which means a Pole in Polish. If it would been more an offensive word it should been Powork, or Poig or Pollo Bull$hitto and etc.

Having a slang word for a Pole which origins from the original description of a Pole isn't really that offensive

Life / Are foreigners welcome in Poland? [305]

To any foreigner, you are welcome!
As long as you behave like you have behaved (normal)
Don't think your in the center of the universe because in Poland, everyone knows about Copernicus work :)

To any of those first posts at first page
I wore a Polonia Warszawa T-Shirt over half of Warsaw when going home, (a lot of tramwaje) I only had a comment "if you weren't that young I would beat you up!"

I was like 13-14 at that time

people are nice :)

History / Historical Polish parades [42]

Not after WW2 as they were commmies lol
and to the pre WW2 not likely either as Poland and Great Britain had animosity in stuff like sending Jews to Israel or creating a Jewish state (Polish nationalists helped to train&equip Jewish Zionists so that they could be shipped to Palestine)

nd other stuff too

Although in parades after 1989 I can't remember any Britts taking part of them. Weird enough Germans did :o

youtu.be/yMjI6M5ZPH8

After 4:30 there is a French Foreign Legion (don't know if it's Polish members or sent to represent France) + a German contingent ( a clear shock of Germans wanting to participate in a POLISH parade :)) + Lithuanian contingent + Slovakian contingent + an Ukrainian at the end

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]

Is that an realistic point of view or a personal one?

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]

Most Poles are schovenists :)
Rascism isn't much the deal really as through commie times USA was portraited as full with Blacks and having peple descriminate them and etc. More about the origins of "blacks" I think

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]


I can't get to sleep...

Last time I checked Poland is in the middle of Europe (with Germany) and Europe is the world for me anything outside it is unimportant :p

They tried, but some operations went down caused by lack of dollar$
It was an trade "union" or "deal" with Liberia making it de facto an protectorat, can't remember if it went into reality or not tho.

History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]

content removed

in BoB Poles helped alot with their small contribution, I don't want to think how it would been if Britain REALLY did stand alone. The morale of the people is quite important too remember!

Hitler wanted the surrender of Britain mostly not to invade it, he didn't have enough transports to do it neither the superiority in the air. Hence why BoB was important.

The very idea of foreigners wanting to fight for Poland!! But your right.. probably nobody join it anyway /sigh

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]


I know, and many Norwegians don't really /care
I am really ashamed of it, I think of the Sami culture very highly

Still proves my point that... not many Norwegians know FULLY what the Sami people went through...


The internet wasn't available the communication between nations wasn't that good, and nobody knew that much about what happened in ww2 like we know today.

Also Poles looked at Germans, Germany as evil imperialists (think of the propaganda from the commies with the NATO imperialistic countries etc). You know what propaganda can do to a person ;)

The times was right after WW2 :p

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

History / Question on Poland's szlachta clan admission [26]

I suppose it would been possible, back in the good old days 1 had to bring some family members (2 maybe) to court (maybe) and testify they were in family with that person or from the same heritige.

Although if someone joins the family it should be possible to knight that person as a member of a noble family then. (think first nobles weren't nobles at birth)

So logiclly there should be a chance for that, but I am not sure myself :)

Most of it are only theories from my side

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]


Even if I do have Germanic roots, have a native language wich is more German then Norwegian really I am still not german nor will I ever be im Norwegian/Polish in my soul and nobody can change it even if they test my blood and it shows 100% German roots I still say:

I AM HALF POLISH AND HALF NORWEGIAN!!!

Roots may give some sentimental duudli daddle and interesst of reading it up. But it won't change any intellectual beeing.
