It was just a figure of speech. :)

Having said that, we know from history that homosexuality was invented in Russia and many Russians (e.g. Herodotov, Platonov, Xenophoniev and Athanauesiov) explored acspects of gay love in ancient Russian society. :)

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


...and who are you, or any woman in fact, to decide when the "foetus" becomes a child? Who sets the limit and on what grounds? AntV is right - it's a question of arbitrarily setting the limit, and in some places it leads to monstrosities like "partial birth abortions" which are nothing short of murder.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


Exactly. Philip K. Dick's Pre-persons immediately comes to mind... :-/

It is mind-boggling how many people think that murdering a child is a perfect solution to all the evil in the world (woman being raped, difficult socio-economic conditions, "bad moment" for a child etc. etc.).


Nope. The child is a separate entity. Separate DNA code - inherited just as much from the mother as from the father.

History / Current Polish-Russian relations.. What do the Poles think? [60]


Well, I suppose we'll never know. I'd like to believe though that if Poland had won back then, and controlled the vast territories of what is now Russia, we would not only have avoided partitions but also would have been powerful enough to triumph over all the autocracies of that age. Poland, with her Golden Freedom, would have become something comparable to the USA, only at least a 100 years earlier, and consequently would be the greatest superpower in the history of Earth. Imagine - with our high culture, ingenuity, magnanimity and moral superiority, how much more could have been achieved.

Oh, well.. as I said, we'll never know. :(

Best posters?

I'd say, as far as regulars are concerned...

1. BratwurstBoy
2. Paulina
3. Atch
4. AntV
5. Mafketis

...Pawian, Lenka, Tacitus, jon357, Milo, cms neuf, alien, amiga, and Korvinus are quite all right as well; Cojest has his moments of sanity but needs to work on his peasant manners. RussianAntiPutin gets a honorary mention - the best newbie I can remember in a long time. :) The second honorary mention goes to johnny_reb for being absolutely spot on on the matter of abortion :).

I have a feeling that Velund, Bobko, Novichok, Crow and Crnogorac might actually be nice guys in real life, but their support for the Russian version of nazism prevents me from including them in any best posters list on any position.

History / Current Polish-Russian relations.. What do the Poles think? [60]

Top 5 Things A Russian Person Will Not Admit To A Pole...

1. In retrospect, it would have been better for the entire world if Poland had won in 1612.
2. Poland, rather than Russia, is the real Sarmatia and mother of all Slavia.
3. It doesn't make sense to have monuments of occupational troops in a free, independent country.
4. Honour and integrity are actually nice things to have.
5. Russians secretely love and admire Poles, and wish they could be more like us.

... and as a honorary mention, outside the top 5 list - Fiat 125p was way better than Lada 2103.

Seriously, European Christ simply won't do (the Irish can have this title) - we are the Christ of Nations (all nations).

Remind me again - where is Tobruk located? ;)

Not only Africa, but also Haiti...

So, Christ of Nations, without limiting our salvific mission to Europe only, would be more appropriate. :)

Life / Top 5 things I like about Poland [77]


Why only European?

Life / Top 5 things I like about Poland [77]

My Top 5:

1. Uniqueness.

A unique bland of strong Latin civilisation, where ethics is the source of law and individuality and personal freedom are the vital parts of ethos and identity, with Slavic heritage; strong patriotism with roots in multicultural past (we were the first major multicultural melting pot in Europe) and respect for other nations and cultures (remembering, of course, the obvious superiority of ours).

2. Attractiveness to foreigners.

Of which this forum is the best example (ethnic Poles living in Poland are a tiny minority here). Our culture has always attracted foreignes - we had large minorities from countries as distant as Scotland or Netherlands but they didn't remain minorities for long, they all assimilated into the Polish nation, accepting our language and culture as their own.

3. History of being a benevolent, kindhearted empire that never travelled overseas.

From the 15th to 17th century, Poland was constantly expanding its territory through unions and wars, mostly eastward, bringing the light of civilisation and Polishness to backwards eastern peoples. By 1634, when it reached a maximal area of almost 1 million square kilometres, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was an empire ranging from the Baltic Sea to the Pontic-Caspian Steppe, incorporating the majority of today's Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, but also Latvia and even parts of Estonia.

Our expansion was stopped by an evil tribe, which name I shall not mention here, that until the present day brings war and destruction to its neighbours. How differently the world might look like if this evil nation didn't stand in our way 400 years ago. :(

4. Sense of honour and fairness.

I can think of only one country in the over 1000 years of Poland's history that could claim to have been treated unfairly/betrayed by Poles. I'm not going to mention this in detail because it's a painful card in our history, but it's a single instance and a lamentable exception. Apart from that, Polish conduct was always honourable and chivalrous: we kept our alliances, were generous towards friends and merciful towards enemies. This always makes me proud.

5. Overall greatness.

To cover this point I would need to write a book; it's waaay beyond the scope of a short forum post. All things considered, Poland in its entirety, when fully and properly understood, represents the peak of what human race should strive for, hope for and fight for. This fact is often obscured by trivial things and visible only to the trained eye and soul, but well worth the effort to study and cherish.

Feedback / Is it Polish forum or foreign forum? [159]

No, I suppose you don't. I can only recommend the works of Feliks Koneczny - among others the two volumes of "Polskie logos a ethos" - for those who would like to understand the meaning of liberty to Polish identity in stark opposition to deeply ingrained serfdom and need for a tsar in case of Russian heritage.

Feedback / Is it Polish forum or foreign forum? [159]

The point is, among other things, Gumishu, that the most vital part of Sarmatian heritage and ethos is the love of liberty - free, unbridled souls, that's who Sarmats were. So, who are the real Sarmats? Poles, with our love of freedom and unwavering defiance? Or maybe Russian sovoks - with serfdom in their blood - or their Serbian balkan clones?

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


...is that they don't share border with russia, and were never conquered and occupied by it.

Travel / Best places to visit in Poland [91]


Definitely Gdańsk. The greatest place in Poland!

We are used to Russian visitors - for many years we had a no-visa open cross-border movement with Kaliningrad District and many Russians came here for shopping and sightseeing. I don't know much Russian but on many occasions I managed to communicate with them in what I call an "overall-slavic" language :D

I don't know why they stopped the visa-free movement - maybe someone didn't want the Russians to see that Poland is an ordinary European country, friendly to visitors and with no russian-eating cannibal hordes roaming the streets. :)

Po polsku / Polska miedzy Niemcami i Rosja. Zalety i wady. [521]

Nie pisałem o szybkim zakończeniu wojny, tylko o szybkim zwycięstwie Rosji - czytaj uważnie. Gdyby tak się stało, to Niemcy dogadaliby się z nimi błyskawicznie, a dla nas byłby to najgorszy scenariusz.

Teraz, po trzech miesiącach walk i ogólnej kompromitacji Rosji, ten smutny cyrk właściwie mógłby się już skończyć, ale jeżeli jeszcze potrwa, to będzie to o wiele gorsze dla Rosji niż dla Polski.

Po polsku / Polska miedzy Niemcami i Rosja. Zalety i wady. [521]


No tak, najlepszym scenariuszem dla Niemiec było szybkie zwycięstwo Rosji i równie szybkie dogadanie się z nimi co do dalszej współpracy. Tak się jednak nie stało, więc kolejnym marzeniem jest śmierć Putina lub odsunięcie go od władzy i szybkie dogadanie się z kolejnym rządem Rosji udając, że to wszystko była wina strasznego Vladimira. W interesie Polski natomiast jest żeby ta wojna jeszcze potrwała i spowodowała jeszcze większe osłabienie militarne i ekonomiczne Rosji oraz ich trwałą międzynarodową izolację. Szkoda, że najwyższą cenę za to wszystko, jak to zwykle bywa na wojnie, płaci ludność cywilna.

Exactly. Aggression and territorial acquisitions are overrated - it's better to have friends everywhere and feel at home wherever you go, but I'm afraid we are losing our russian readers here, we might as well be talking in Arabic :)

Po polsku / Polska miedzy Niemcami i Rosja. Zalety i wady. [521]


Należałoby po prostu wydać zalecenie dla obywateli polskich opuszczenia terenu rosji do jakiejś konkretnej daty, zaznaczając że po tym terminie zostają tam na własną odpowiedzialność, i po tym terminie zerwać wszelkie stosunki dyplomatyczne, odwołać naszych dyplomatów i wykopać ich. Skoro ropy i gazu już od nich nie bierzemy, inna wymiana handlowa de facto już nie istnieje, to po co utrzymywać fikcję? Jak zmądrzeją, to będzie można pomyśleć o przywróceniu działania ambasad.


Oj tam, zaraz "oblała". Nie przesadzajmy - po prostu wykonałą specjalną operację farbowania. ;)

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

At the risk of stating the obvious, but maybe not so obvious for our foreign friends, the example sentences I provided above by no means exhaust the meanings of the respective "preposition-pierdalać/pierdolić" forms.

For example, apart from "hit someone really hard", "przypierdalać" can also mean "pick on somebody" ("Nie wiem o co chodzi, szef się do mnie ciągle przypierdala") or "podpierdalać" apart from "steal" can also mean "grass someone up" ("Ta gnida podpierdoliła Staśka na policję i zabrali mu cały sprzęt do pędzenia bimbru"), and I could go on, but to even touch the surface of the topic would probably require a book. We are dealing here with immense lexical depth.

@shyguy

Don't be discouraged if you are unable to grasp everything written here. Fluent use of "preposition-pierdolić/pierdalać" forms would indicate an unusual level of fluency in Polish, very rarely seen in foreigners. Especially for English speakers it might be difficult, since words like "withfuck", "atfuck", "tofuck", "fromfuck" etc. are a lexical impossibility in your language, with a possible exception of "outfuck" ("John outfucked Mark during last summer holidays by sleeping with 7 girls, compared to Mark's 4"), but I'm not entirely sure about this one.

One should also mention, again at the risk of stating the obvious, that "preposition-pierdolić/pierdalać" forms are usually not considered elegant and should rather be avoided in formal letters, opinion essays or, in general, academic writing.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


Yes. We can also mention "odpierdalać" (as in "Co ty kurwa odpierdalasz?"), "napierdalać" ("Zbyszek napierdalał całą noc na Playstation i teraz jest niewyspany"), "przypierdalać" ("Nieźle mu przypierdolił"), "wpierdalać" ("No nie, Andrzej wpierdolił całą szynkę :-/"), "zapierdalać" ("Ale zapierdala! Chyba przebiegł te 100m poniżej 10 sekund"), "podpierdalać" ("Cyganie podpierdolili Ruskim czołg"), or "przepierdalać" ("Ten debil znowu przepierdolił całą pensję w kasynie"), to name just a few.

Come to think of it, there are very few prepositions in Polish that don't form a distinct meaning with "-pierdalać".
