Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [580]


*laughs*

It's like the thing everybody openly denies but secretly enjoys....


eurovision.tv/story/eurovision-2022-161-million-viewers


And the outcome of a country's singer is a hot topic for the news next day, if won or again "zero points", but of course nobody has seen it because "too boring" and "kitsch", right? Right!

It's the same everywhere, heh:)

UK, Ireland / Why Poles will never belong in England [283]


Poles are Slavs, right? Are Slavs a race?

....where is Crowie when you need him!

UK, Ireland / Poland will be wealthier than Britain by 2030 [45]

I wonder how Poland will go about the consequences of such status...like the masses of immigrants, looking for work and wealth!

Will be interesting to watch the shoe on the other foot....

News / Life and work of Stepan Bandera - controversial figure of Europe [42]


Well....what a mess! If that description holds true then I come to think Ukraine will have to split....as did the Tyroleans. They will have to get their autonomous region at least if there should be ever any peace. Russians will have to get used to that....and Ukrainians have to leave their russian part....

I see no other way!

News / Life and work of Stepan Bandera - controversial figure of Europe [42]

Thanks, that was very detailed, but I rather meant the connections....as between Germans and Austrians....you know? Wars and different countries and all, we are still familiar, sharing the same ethnicity, language, lots of history, heritage, culture etc.

And you called the Ukrainians even closer than that....that means for me that Bandera won't have treated the Russians/Poles the same as Germans did the Jews for example, you know what I mean? Not the ethnicity but the nationality....a huge difference.

As he fighted the Russians, didn't he then rather fight the stalinist oppressors? And can't you blame him?


....I like these stereotypes too, but they aren't realistic anymore...sadly....

News / Life and work of Stepan Bandera - controversial figure of Europe [42]


Okay....total numbnut here! :) Help me out....

Comparing to Germans/Austrians where stand the slavic people, meaning Ukrainians/Poles/Russians?

Easy words please... :)

News / Life and work of Stepan Bandera - controversial figure of Europe [42]


....yeah well....so did Stalin, for a while....


....that I don't understand....the nationalities? Aren't the Ukrainians the same ethnicity as Russians and Poles??? Didn't you call them cousins or brothers once?

News / Life and work of Stepan Bandera - controversial figure of Europe [42]

What is the problem here?

Stalin killed MILLIONS for Russia...to fight enemies, russian and foreign....he is still a hero for many Russians....and Ukrainians aren't allowed to have a hero doing everything, even deals with the devil, for his peoples and country's independence too?

As far as I know Bandera wasn't even in the same league as any other mass murderer of that time...most in the West even never heard of him....could someone explain?

Life / In need of good Polish jokes about Polish culture, people, etc [239]

Does that count as good joke?

I had to laugh so hard.....it's so true, for non-Poles that is, heh:)

Nah....I really believe Poland has a good future coming, alot better than the past....in big part also because of the changed global maps and players.

YES, YOU CAN!!! :)

News / EU, Germany, Euros and Poland. [54]

I've got nothing against a strong and wealthy Poland....really not. Especially as things right now don't look so good in Germany, for Germany....it would be nice to have someone else shouldering more of the burden....

But I guess if it should come to that....a real change of the "pecking order"...some Poles might say they don't need the EU and would be better off alone, just to avoid to have now to pay more in the common bucket as they get out of it, totally ignoring the help they got over the decades....

Am I right?

News / EU, Germany, Euros and Poland. [54]



...only when Poland starts paying Germany the billions it gets till now from the EU pockets.

Seriously, why do you forget all this always? Without the EU and mainly german money Poland would still look like Ukraine....that's not only not fair but can also lead to dangerously wrong conclusions!

Since 2004, Poland has received over 232 billion euros from the European Union budget. During this period, membership payments to the EU budget amounted to over 77 billion euros. The most significant net inflows were in 2020 and amounted to around 13.16 billion euros, including reimbursements to the EU budget of 958.3 thousand euros.

...isn't it abit empty? Great words but no deeds...kinda? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

We Germans LOVE our history! Seriously....we are being the BEST at remembrance, nobody does it better than us....

I just wish we would use the memory for a better future....I mean, look at the photos....that's Steinmeier.....one of the biggest supporters of Nordstream....totally disregarding polish actual wishes and needs and warnings...but he does great speeches at those times, doesn't he....

If Ukraine would take the war back to Russia and mount their flag in Moscow, would that be a liberation?

(Yes I know just play along:)

....I don't think you can call it liberating!

And it wasn't meant to be by the Red Army....

Travel / Bilingual signs and notices all over Poland [20]

Or a much easier reason? Stettin is for Germans just that much easier to pronounce as such a tonguebreaker without vowels as the polish version....;)

The same with Warschau or Danzig...i's more a language thing...but Szcscheczin takes the crown!
