History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]

Siding with Germans (Teutonic Order)

that would have been a huge mistake.. do you realize that Poles are slaves like the Lithuanians and the germans are not??

Po polsku / Apel o pojednanie z Rosją [30]

Rosja nie ma pod adresem Polski żadnych roszczeń terytorialnych

hmm.. to nie dokładnie tak.. Rosja jest dokładnie tak jak Chiny.. jeżeli kiedykolwiek mieli jakieś terytorium to już jest ich na zawsze.. od 1772 zajmowali ziemie polskie więc według nich to już na zawsze ziemie rosyjskie..

Life / Customs - First Holy Communion in Poland [42]

I don't remeber anything about flowers.

that's interesting.. i recall all the girls getting flowers after the ceremony.. maybe a local tradition.. i dunno.. actually i've witnessed the same thing here in the states.

.
i got a watch, a catechism, a rosary and a picture of Jesus which was kind of like a diploma or a commemorative plaque.

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]

Between 1772 and 1918 everything was peaceful ... :)

not really.... most of the disturbances were with the russkies but it wasn't all peachy the pruss or hung/aust either. and you probably really meant 1775 or you need to crack a book on PL history.

BTW Poland lived with Germany for some centuries peacfully

not really.. there has always been threats or some kind of issues.. never really fully peaceful coexistence.

1) Proffessional army is better and cheaper than conscription.

that's arguable but what conscription does is ties the politician hands a bit.. with all pro armed forces, the government can abuse their power so much easier as sending young people in harms way doesn't involve EVERY mother in the country. tis' the major problem in the usa right now. do you seriously think that usa would be in iraq and afghanistan if there was a draft?? i highly doubt it. tis the lesson from vietnam.

Can NATO be really trusted in a serious conflict?

not really if it;s between members.

The Gerries would today still be a threat?

i didn't say the are but you really can't trust the germans, man.. look at the history.. there hasn't been a century in polish history that PL and D didn't have some kind of a conflict.

1-

czechs or slovaks or ukrainians.. yeah.. gerries or russkies = blitzkrieg2

2-

i agree.. not really for professional soldiers only.. this breaths lack of patritism or at least pride in your country.

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]

The obesity problem in the states is because no one walks anywhere...

it's not that simple.. one could say the problem is because americans love their "super size"

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]

plk123 what do you recommend?

a couple of months late but hey.... look past the sausage and golonka.. i recommend you get a polish recipe book. many polish foods are very healthy.. many are very veggie laden... polish cuisine is very deep and rich.. it's really hard to give one recommendation.,. it kind of depends on what one likes.. i prefer polish food over many others.. that's for sure.. bon appetit.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

especially the over 35's who seem to let themselves go rapidly.

even if they don't seems that genetics aren't of help.

I could find a fairly good-looking thirtysomething or even fortysomething English woman in about 5 minutes over here - this is almost impossible in Poland!

could also be said about american women.
