History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]

@Paulina & Pawian

Sorry, I refuse to be drawn into your little world of hate. I can fight the Russians - and I will, if Russia ever invades Poland - but I will not be drawn into hatred of all things Russian.

And no, I don't think Russians - even those who support the war - are "nazi angels of death" or whatever. Enjoy your little spiteful kind of self-righteousness, I'm done with you.

He was when it suited him and wasn't when it didn't. A shady character in any case and I don't appreciate being compared to him.


Bobi's not a bad guy. Some of his views need to be somewhat adjusted but it will sooner be done in a civilised manner than with a constant stream of abuse.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


Not hanged but shot and not in 1943 but in 1944. He saw the war wasn't going as planned, so he tried to switch sides. Didn't work they way he planned.


*rolls eyes*

If you really must. But I don't find it amusing.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


Nonsense. Ciano was a fascist and, regardless of whether he had any warm feelings for Poles (maybe it had something to do with Poland awarding him Order Orła Białego in 1938), he was clearly on his Third Reich's allies side in the war, whilst my support for Ukraine is evident, so your "analogy" fails.

Now, f*ck off.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]

I wonder why some people care that much about me being on friendly terms with Bobko.

As far as the war in Ukraine is concerned, I am firmly on the Ukrainian side, as can be clearly seen from my numerous posts. As for my friends, I shall reserve my right of choice in this regard without asking anyone for permission or approval. End of.

@AntV *high five*

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


*yaaaaaaaaawn*

Although, when I think of it now, I did suffer from something resembling a mental breakdown when I allowed hatred and aggression to get the better of me. I won't let that happen again.



Get a grip of yourselves, people - nobody here is an executioner and nobody is a dictator. We are a bunch of random people from all over the world, discussing things on a tiny, obscure, technologically outdated internet board that nobody apart from us gives a flying f*ck about. Just to put things into perspective.

Anyways, screw you guys, I'm going to sleep.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]

Geez... you're such a drama queen, Pawian, it's unbelievable.


Knock yourself out. :)

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


You're a woman, so I forgive you for not being able to understand male friendship. If Bobko and I end up in opposite trenches one day, he in a Russian uniform and I in a Polish one, the time for pleasantries will be over. But until then nothing restrains us from recognising certain positive qualities in each other and acknowledging them. :)

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


There are no "RuSSists" here, Pawian. Only two Russian guys who came here, to a Polish forum, to talk to us and present their point of view on the war, Ukraine and sometimes life in general. :) We can either treat them in a civilised manner or continue with the verbal abuse. I choose the former. Sue me.


*breathes a huge sigh of relief*


Only God and my wife control me. Who does it to a greater extent I am unable to say. :)

I will worry about India and China when they produce their Augustine, Shakespeare or Einstein. Hmm... or maybe they did but it hasn't been translated. When I think about the amount of literature that must be published every year in Hindi or Mandarin... 0_0

Damn, this story is even more scary than Velund's nuke threats! Now I seriously think that we stand no chance against Russia. ;)

Is any great literature really accessible without the Bible? And I am impressed indeed with your core curriculum :)


I certainly agree, although some modern translations are quite all right (NKJV and ESV are my favourites). The closest Polish equivalent to KJV is BG/UBG (Uwspółcześniona/Biblia Gdańska) - based on Textus Receptus and, especially in New Testament, practically equivalent to KJV. Be careful though not to confuse UBG with NBG (Nowa Biblia Gdańska) which is one of the weirdest translations I have ever come across.


What? I thought it started with: "In the beginning there was nothing, only God strolling through the streets of Belgrade".

... a drink in one hand and Middlemarch in the other. And you would be able to read the book twice before the game finished.

Try watching cricket :)


For us the entire idea of drafts seems very odd. And the fact that a team cannot be relegated or promoted from/to NHL, NBA or MLB is also a strange thing to Europeans.

Off-Topic / Random Sports News [764]


That's the idea.


From what I've heard 12 million euro yearly salary (plus bonuses) and undisclosed signing-on fee.


Yes. Most players signed by Ekstraklasa and Pierwsza Liga teams are free transfers but in better leagues it is also quite common. Lewandowski was a free transfer when he came to Bayern - his contract with Dortmund expired prior to the move.

Funnily enough - you joined in 2009 and made over 4k posts but I too hardly remember who you are. I suppose some people are just invisible to each other.

You knew me under a different username and loved me with all your heart. I am the epitome of polishness, so they keep my clone in Sèvres as an international standard of a Pole.

You will figure it out.

But now excuse me - your mom has just called me to check her plumbing, and as a good Polish plumber that's exactly what I'm going to do. :) See you.

Anyway, so many people from the old days no longer here: Nathan, yehudi, ender, z_darius, Sasha, 1jola, isthatu, wildrover, Seanus, bzibzioh, Sokrates... espana's return brings back so many memories. :)

That's not what your mom told me last summer. Say hello to her from me. :)

Espana's is an old member - he hates everything Polish (despite being a Spaniard, so a member of our civilisation ha ha). He makes Putin and Lavrov look like a president and vice-president of Polish-Russian Friendship Association. :) He's OK.

Yes, there is no system able to contain Crow. If Lusatian Sorbs win independece from Germany one day, Croatia applies to be incorporated into Serbia and Pope dissolves the Catholic Church and abdicates, I will know who's behind it, pulling all the strings.

Guilty as charged.

But, hey - this is a Polish board (at least in name) and mods are the authorities; there has to be some resistance and defiance towards the official authorities or it wouldn't be Polish at all!


Also, he sticks around for years on end, despite endless stream of abuse he's getting. Fair play to him :) If all Orthodox Slavs are that resilient, then we better start peace talks with Russia now, ha ha. :)

@Bratwurst Boy, @AntV

Cheers, guys. I knew I wasn't alone on this one. :)

@Novichok

You're not that bad either. Perhaps my "A" warning that I got some time ago was justified after all. ;) No hard feelings.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


As far as I understand from Bobko's and Velund's posts, from their point of view, the aggression was neither unprovoked nor the neighbour particularly peaceful. Regardless of whether we agree with it or not (I don't), they shouldn't be attacked for presenting their point of view. That's what internet forums are for, aren't they?


Unless you can point me to a post in which Bobko supports war crimes or "fantasizes about genocide", I will simply refuse to believe that.


Who of us can honestly say that he's a good person?

"And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.", Mark 10:18

...and anyway Bobko's not too bad. I like him. Sue me.

@Iron

I've heard about a poll where 75.5% Russians said Poland should be the next target of "special operation" but not about one in which 70% wanted to nuke us. Do you have any links to that?

@pawian

Again, please point me to the post in which Bobko "supports war crimes", as I don't recall anything like that by him.

Come on, guys. We are not United Nations, we are not NATO headquarters, we are not even Sejm. We are a bunch of random people posting on an obscure tiny board with about 25 regular posters. If we can't conduct a discussion without aggression, hatred and a modicum of common decency, then what's the point? What happened to us? Wishing people death? Not making even an attempt to understand the other side? Surely we are better than that? If we can no longer talk to one another, even to our enemies, in a civilised way, then maybe, just maybe, it is indeed time for the nukes to fly? :-/

Anyways... screw you guys, I'm going to sleep.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


... and there's that.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


That's what people do when their countries are involved. Sometimes it's denial, sometimes an effect of propaganda, and sometimes genuine belief that one's countrymen are incapable of such things. Nihil novi sub sole.
