News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]

@Atch

Thinking of Russian history, I can't think of any leader in modern times that I could "trust".

Gorbachev - I suppose - was trustworthy in delivering to his Western overlords on the promise of selling Russia down the river. So, he was trustworthy, but unfortunately an idiot. I don't know which is worse.

Yeltsin was also somewhat trustworthy, or rather - he was sincere. But he was weak, and fully compromised by his family and his alcoholism.

Russian history seems to teach that trustworthy guys are somehow unreliable.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]

@Alien

Russia has a labor force of 73M people. If you count war casualties at 250K, that results in a minuscule reduction in the size of the labor pool, which cannot account for the statistics provided.

The Russians that fled the war, are still Russians and are still counted.

What accounts for much of the reduction is massive hiring by MIC companies, and competition of the private sector with the army for labor.

So you are partially correct, the army does account for a large part of this reduction, just not so much through the dead.

A good article on the subject:

If not invading countries, led to ever rising living standards - then Bhutan and Lesotho would be quite developed.

Spending on war, can be economically stimulating - as I'm sure you must know.

After all, your country emerged from WW2 as a superpower, though it entered it whilst still in recovery from the Great Depression.

Probably more polite and educated than your average Mexican.

Also, respect to those guys for kicking the French out.

Ebonics, as spoken by American negr0es, is further removed from standard English, than Surzhyk is removed from Russian.

You do understand - right - that Surzhyk is a pidgin version of Russian?

Surzhyk is what illiterates speak, when they try to speak to their superiors.

Off-Topic / Ukrainian language [50]


1) Is it true, that Ukrainian has its roots amongst the transgender community of Ancient Rus?

2) Is it true, what they say, that the first book translated into Ukrainian was Mein Kampf?

3) Why does Ukrainian borrow so many words from pig dialect? Specifically phrases like "Oink!" and "Oink oink!"?

4) Why do "cat" and "whale" mean the same thing?

It will take a long time for Ukrainians to learn English, French, and German. It will take an even longer time for them to forget Russian.

Perhaps you were arguing that there will be a massive wave of immigration from Great Britain, France and Germany to Poland?

Wait until Russian becomes the second most popular language in Poland.

Then we will come for you, for trampling over the rights of your Ukrainian minority.

It will be like 1654, all over again.

History repeats itself in a devil's loop. Don't be friends with Ukraine, don't play with fire.

We Russians are practiced in taming this mistress, but she's certainly too much for you to handle.

The four perennial weirdos that don't support Russia, are: Poles, Czechs, Slovenians and Croats.

Vladimir Mayakovsky's, one of my favorite poets, wrote: «Змеиному народу - змеиный язык.»

That is, "to a snake-like people, a snake-like tongue".

Russians call Poles, "Psheki". It's because they always make the hissing "pshhh" sound, like a rattlesnake slithering through a bed of dried leaves.

The Polish snake-like tongue, is a reflection of their snakelike nature.

Cold-blooded, unlike normal Slavs. Reflecting their betrayal of everything Slavic. Every Slav can understand each other, but not Poles! Their language is based on the Latin alphabet, though every proper Slavic language is written in Cyrillic. Their religion is Catholic, though every proper Slav is orthodox.

Poles are the serpent, in the Slavic Garden of Eden.

News / Polish "Rambo" in the forest [42]

@Alien

The Russians made Rambo into who he was. As an undisciplined and slightly "hippy" soldier, he was on no one's radars. After the Russians had some time with him, he became the international sensation we all know and love.

Just as Solzhenitsyn had to be molded within the art of suffering, before he was ready for the big time, or Dostoyevsky had to be subjected to a mock execution before he started writing worthwhile things - Rambo was in need of Russian coaching. As with our writers and gymnasts, the results did not take long to develop.

Ask any military historian, Rokossovky is the more important Pole out of those three.

Before you attack me - I said "military historian".

News / Polish "Rambo" in the forest [42]

Rambo did not serve in the Polish armed forces.

Rambo is also, not real. It is actually an actor named Sylvester Stallone portraying a disenchanted veteran named John Rambo.

Don't be so pessimistic.

Also, Poles can be sympathetic to our work. Look at Dzerzhinski and Rokossovsky?

Thanks for this write up - quite helpful!


This has happened countless times, in elections all across the world. Would be disappointing, if it happens here as well.


This is the problem, as I see it, with these mixed political systems which are prevalent throughout Eurasia. You get a million different parties, with rather marginal policy differences amongst them, but instead mainly defined by the personas at the top.

United Russia will probably not survive Putin and Medvedev, in the same way PiS might not survive Kaczynski.

It speaks to the political immaturity and primitivism of places like Poland and Russia, when your political loyalties are dictated primarily by your sympathies towards a particular guy rather than a dry calculation of where our interests as voters lie.

By the way, America is actually arriving at this point as well - after a good 200 years of acting as example to others of the advantages of a two party system.

Law / Weapon Law in Poland: what kinds of knives are legal? [35]


Guns are illegal in NYC. So everybody has one, except for good, law abiding citizens.

Carrying a knife around, though I wouldn't do it myself, doesn't seem like such a crazy thing to do.

I've seen a few fights where knives were pulled out, and the effect is pretty much the same as with a gun - though obviously scaled down. A rowdy, aggressive person suddenly becomes docile and walks away.

Pepper spray, and other stuff like that probably has a bigger role to play though.

Law / Weapon Law in Poland: what kinds of knives are legal? [35]

I'll admit I like knives quite a bit. I don't really have any nice ones, but I like looking at them. Myself, I've got a Swiss Army knife in my glove compartment (which I use once a year), and another which I keep in my fishing tackle bag.

Whenever I'm at a sports equipment store, I like to look at the expensive knives. The Damascus steel patterns are beautiful, and oftentimes the handle is a work of art. I've seen handles made from dinosaur bones and from meteorites.

Where I live, they're all very small. Quote:

Possessing a knife with a blade length of four inches or more in public places, streets, or parks in New York is prohibited, regardless of any unlawful intent, and is punishable by a fine or up to 15 days in jail.

Four inches is about the width of an average person's palm. Supposedly, this isn't enough to reach any vital organ, though I don't know how it helps with bleeding out to death. Also, I don't know why having something in your pocket that is longer than 4 inches is illegal, while having a 15 inch dagger in your kitchen is totally kosher.
