Poland does not want your 3rd world ass

He doesn't want to stay in Poland, bigmo. He's on his way to Germany and he got as far as Kętrzyn already - with all the Border Guards everywhere! That's not bad, so let's be civil.

There's no reason to be uncivil.

Certainly.

You're in Kętrzyn, right? Report to Gen. Władysława Sikorskiego 78 street...

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [630]

jarac

'Jarać' is not a regional word - it is an ancient Polish and indeed Slavic lexical item. It originally means 'to burn' or to 'set on fire' but, as Maf and Jon noticed, it can also mean 'to smoke' (cigarettes, weed etc.). It's from proto-Slavic 'jariti' (to make hot, to inflame) and it is connected to Jarilo ('the fiery one') - a Slavic god of fiery life and spring vitality...



... reconnect with your Slavic roots, birdie! :)

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 17 [621]

I personally spent a decade working with the poor and homeless, welfare is abused and it does have a deleterious effect on many recipients.

The social workers I know are saying exactly the same thing. There is something inherently wrong in the current system of handing out benefits to all the poor instead of just the deserving ones. There has to be a way to distinguish between genuine need and irresponsible dependence, right? If the system discourages work and thrift, and creates whole generations of people for whom entitlement replaces effort and will to escape hardship through hard work, then it should be changed.

I hope Rich lives to 120

Hear, hear.

He pretends to be a Pole-eater but, as a little bird told me, in reality he is a great Polish patriot. :)

Life / If you lived abroad, would you like to have a Pole as a neighbor? [93]

you are coming across as a peasant

Polish peasants are very decent people - salt of this earth and good Catholics, not falling for either communist or nazi nonsense. It is by and large thanks to them that Poland emerged from nazi occupation and then communist rule as a still Christian country.

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

I can't imagine that they just smile and hold the other cheek

I can't see it either. The mutual relations would definitely deteriorate even further.

But it is not Germany who should worry too much. This time it is Russia who started the war, and it is behind Russia that the stink of this war will drag for decades.

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

are these fears und grudges against Germans or Nazis?

Hmm... a difficult question. Did the German women who were raped by Russian soldiers had later fears and grudges against Russians or Communists?

it's abit puzzling

Not that much. If Russia can still exploit old fears and grudges in their propaganda, they will do it. All dirty tricks are used in a war.

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

Torqi, do Poles feel they want to be be saved by Russia from big bad Germany?

No, but it is still possible to persuade them (especially the older generation) that Germany has evil intentions. Do you remember when Kaczyński expressed opposition to Germany stationing Patriot systems in Poland, and it was only after much debate that the PiS government changed course? 80 years after the war, and Kaczyński still tried to exploit the opposition to the presence of German troops in Poland, even when you only tried to help! Never underestimate old grudges and old fears, BB.

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

Germany trying to overtake Europe again like the Nazis

It is still possible to scare people with Germany in Poland. 80 years after the war, after 21 years in the EU, after millions upon millions of Poles have lived, studied and worked in Germany - it is still possible (Kaczyński built his entire political career on this scaremongering). So why are you surprised it is also possible in Russia?

Someone wise once said that one of the first victims of any war is the truth. During war all dirty propaganda tricks will always be used.

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

The USSR

Hey, you won't hear me complaining about the USSR. Sure, Lwów and Wilno were Polish cultural centres but the areas around them were infested with banderites and samogitians. Untenable in the long run. We got Szczecin, Wrocław and Gdańsk in return--a brilliant deal! Improving our borders in the West was one in a 1000 years chance and thanks to dyadya Stalin we took it. If I was offered the same deal today I would take it again... and again, and again.

As much as many people will hate to admit, Poland after the war, with borders shifted West and ethnically uniform, was better than the one before. Ravaged by war, decimated and deeply hurt, but still better.

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

they could be ukrainians or bolsheviks in the east of old poland

...or Belarussians or yet another minority notorious for welcoming the Soviets with flowers and having many communists among them (I shall not name this minority for fear of being called an anti-semite).

I doubt many Poles were waving at Red Army mere 19 years after the Polish-Soviet war.

Polonia / What do Poles think of how they are treated in Germany, in comparison to the Muslim migrants [181]

Braun did a bad thing.

Of course he did.

What's the harm in sucking up to Jews a little bit? Maybe we can get something from them if we do. On the other hand, if we keep extinguishing their magic candles, and calling them a Satanic cult and genocide perpetrators, the chances of them ever helping us with getting nukes or other useful stuff (e.g. anti-missile systems) are rather slim.

I say we should tactically suck up to whomever it's possible and never f*ck with people's holy candelabra--it's stupid, there's no profit in that, and it might even annoy God - they are his firstborn children after all (prodigal but still).

Life / Why oh Why do Poles drive so incredibly poorly [109]

Today they drive better than 5 years ago.

Debatable.

The cars are generally safer and the roads are better, so there are fewer deaths, but excessive speed is still a huge problem.

News / The most pro-Russian Polish politicians [14]

Pawian

By the way, does anyone know what happened to him?

I've heard rumours that he took his backpack, went to Ukraine to apologise to Ukrainians first and has been missing ever since.

But maybe it's just vicious people talking nonsense.

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [252]

with the woman on his lap

With a woman on his lap he would be better off making 3 or 4 future soldiers for Poland (that would, in 20 years, produce an equivalent of a Russian company, according to your maths). :)
