Love / Are Polish girls open to foreigners? [78]


If anything, it's the classier and better educated young women who are likely to come into contact with marriageable men with a different skin colour here in Poland. The trashy ones either just don't meet them or are barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen with a local boy while still young.

Quite the opposite. However if scientific fact doesn't convince you that the Ashkenazi Jews aren't the lost descendants of the Khazars, It's hard to say what would.


That would be the case were it not a simple statement of fact. See below.

To lie so flagrantly (whilst accusing others of lying!) says everything about the misinformation you post here and try to pretend is true and casts permanent doubt on anything you say here. But I don't think anyone takes it seriously anyway.

Unfortunately they are obscure indeed, vanishing with barely a trace. And as you see, the DNA studies I posted (and there are many, many more if you're interested) entirely refute your theory. Though I notice you're still as rude as ever, especially when you pick an argument and lose it due to a low level of critical thought, education and general intelligence. In any case, the next ban can't be far away.


Which proves my point. Their descendants are found in far higher concentration among the local population. There are studies for that too. ;-)

By the way, which spelling of your username do you prefer? I notice you have two. Why is that?

That's the part I mostly see. The view from the ring road.

I agree with tou about Walbrzych - it has potential. And Płock used to be grim but is now looking a lot better.

No. Chrzanów it is...

Chrzanów wouldn't win any beauty contest either.

I've seen one or two worse but they are the exception. And most are either modernised or about to be. The space constrictions help - they're less windblown than the ones in the northern UK and don't have vast swathes of bleak grass with needles and stray dogs on.


Reminds me a bit of Barnsley. It has the same pluses and minuses. At least there's something to do there. Living in Wyszkow would make someone suicidal.

I see what you're saying, but disagree with the stuff about builders' skills. The architects, town planners and those who maintain the estates have much more to do with it.

Also I'd say that some of the ugliest towns aren't the planned ones that are actively ugly. Sometimes places like Pabianice or Wyszkow are ugly in their plainness. Not a unique thing to Poland.

An excellent book. A friend from your country lent it to me ages ago. I'd like to read more by Pavic.

You're either missing the point or trying to sidetrack. We aren't talking about building materials or individual builders' skills. Or even their work ethic. We are talking about how those places look today.

I haven't been to Tarnobrzeg for years, however Radom, Czestochwa and Sieradz never fail to depress.

Who built it is irrelevant. Builders just follow instructions. Who designed it is everything. And the architects were working in classic Socialist Realist style. Later on, in the 60s and 60s they started copying styles from capitalist countries but without the wherewithal to do it well. Hence the ghastly estates that blight so many towns.

Travel / What is the ugliest city or town in Poland? [89]

All new towns in Europe from that period are pretty grim, regardless of who built them. Nowa Huta built in Socialist Realist style has a certain beauty for example. Konin however has no redeeming features whatsoever.

Konin is hard to beat in terms of grimness.

They are obscure. Very little is known about them compared to other societies of that Period

These studies (among others) refute the discredited Khazar theory which you're trying to promote for reasons unknown.

History / Khazar migrations to Eastern Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine [106]

Pretty well the same here. They were a rather obscure ethnic group, long long ago, however all the stuff that comes up here is because of a racist theory around a hundred years ago, discredited by science, that made its way onto the Internet and into the fevered imaginations of people who don't get out enough.

History / Khazar migrations to Eastern Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine [106]

According to reputable DNA studies, the bulk of the Khazars after their state fell just mixed in with the locals and disappeared without a trace of their culture or heritage. An Ashkenazi Jewish person is just as likely to have a bit of Polish, Hungarian, Russian, German or Rumanian blood in them as Khazar. More so in fact.

Their country too. And surprised to suddenly find themselves in a newly formed state that wasn't too keen on them even being in their own homes.

As I understand it, the Khazar myth was thoroughly and irrefutably debunked by DNA testing. So yes, it looks like the poster is a fake, with an agenda to push.

Have a look at moikrewni.pl/mapa to see where they are living now. You'll see that there are only 45. A Jewish connection is possible - so is a Belarussian or Ukrainian There a far more people called Grzesiuk.

No shock at all, given the number of Jewish people who found themselves on the territory of the Second Republic, when it appeared. No shock either the number of letters of denunciation to the Nazi occupiers, some of which were published a few years back.

Indeed he isn't - he's a PolAm, however Polish paedophiles do exist.

Amazing how some here are trying to distract from his Polish roots by suggesting he's from a particular ethnic group. Which he isn't.

So his name was Sendecki. I wonder why he changed it.

Out of interest: moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/sendecki.html

By the way, Sandusky is a PolAm. Trying to analyse if his great-great-granny was or wasn't secretly Jewish/Ukrainian/Poleszian/Belorussian/Martian doesn't alter that.

You're mixing two buildings. That's the University library, the one with the huge roof garden. The National Library is a rather distinguished and urbane Modernist building on Al. Niepodległości. With a stone circle in the grounds.

And of course if anyone actually does vandalise public property, your IP address is a matter of record. And now internet trolling is illegal, regardless of the jurisdiction the offender lives in.

If she was in the Avenue of the Notables at Powazki there would be a case for moving her to the ordinary section of Powazki provided she had been convicted in a court of law, however as far as I know she isn't buried anywhere special, just in a council cemetery, probably in Oxford, where she lived. interments in the ground are rare in British cities and whether or not they should still be allowed is another matter.
