Off-Topic / An average brain weight by ethnicity/nation [36]

Poles - 1420
(...)
British - 1346

What? British brains are on average only 74 grams lighter than Polish ones? Ridiculous! If the difference was so negligible they would be able to understand and appreciate Polish overall greatness to a much larger extent. Either the number for Poles is too low or the one for Brits way too high. Check your sources Vlad before you post such blatant nonsense.

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [302]

Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man

1 Corinthians 11:9

This is divinely inspired scripture, Word of God, by definition inerrant. Amen!

Paul the Misogynist.

0_0

Excuse me?

That's no way to talk about the Apostle of the Nations, Herald of Grace and Truth, Torchbearer to the Gentiles, Scribe of the Mysteries Revealed and Champion of the Crucified Lord.

Why the name-calling, Paulina? The Christian theology is clear on the subject: man was created for God, woman was created for man. There is no shame or disgrace in serving the highest and most glorious creation of Our Lord, namely man.

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

This is the word of God. Amen.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [185]

I see you are finding all my favorite threads.

Yes. Yesterday I thought the guy was genuine and wanted to vent a little bit but also actually learn something. Turns out he's just another troll. Pity.

Ah, well...

That same gold that was returned in full to Warsaw.

Shut up, Jon. This is a trolling thread, we don't give a flying f*ck about facts.

I have to find this article in which Perfidious Albion is blamed for the Partitions of Poland... it was absolutely brilliant and would fit perfectly in this thread. Unfortunately, I have to do some work for a change, so see ya later, you son of a brit.

What a typical peasant thing to say.

Those Brits, eh? It is not enough for them that they betrayed us in WW2, stole our gold, treated our officers who fought for them like sh*t and then - to top it all off - sold us down the river to uncle Stalin, but now they also begrudge us those couple of Polish food items that we can buy in their shops if we are ever so unlucky to work in their half-Islamic, rape-gangs-ridden sh*thole of a country. Scandalous behaviour if you ask me.

They really need to learn some reverence towards their betters.

I would probably be annoyed by the comments of WarSore but as a Pole I am so infinitely superior to him in terms of culture, morality and intelligence that it would be beneath my dignity to care about what he says. After all, can a skunk insult an eagle?

you German revanchist

Hey, leave BB alone. This is purely British-Polish trolling, let's not get other nations involved. :D

It might be enough to mitigate the things you mention but it won't mitigate the legendarily hostile and aggressive local population who eats foreigners alive.

That's why it is your responsibility to warn them not to come.

immigrants in Poland must integrate

Assimilationist

Guys, please, you are like all foreigners - clueless. Let me explain...

Assimilation only makes sense and is to be expected when people from lower cultures assimilate to higher cultures. Hence, it's obvious that we expect all foreigners in Poland to assimilate whilst expecting Poles anywhere in the world to assimilate to those inferior cultures is unreasonable. Get real.

Don't know about

Chill out, Cms. They're trolling.

They are more than welcome to come to the UK

I am of exactly the same opinion. :)

mass-migration from countries further down the totem pole in "EU B"

Not going to happen. We are too hostile and off-putting as a nation. Those people should just go to France, UK and Germany.

Your job, WarSore, is to write as many bad things as possible about Poland to discourage them from coming here. Keep up the good work!

their kids who've grown up abroad often don't see themselves as Polish

They shouldn't see themselves as Polish. When their parents emigrated, and decided to stay abroad permanently, they became Plastic Poles. So what should their children be? Double Plastics?

They are better off being British, German or even (though I pity their fate) French.

what would be amazing poetic justice

It is a warm day but I shivered. I hope it never happens in Poland.

Just keep doing what you're currently doing and everything will be all right. :)

Some people do not have the mental capacity

Why are you angry, Iron? The guy is doing a great job for us. Discouraging foreigners from coming here. They might read his posts, decide against coming to Poland and settle in the UK instead.

Some foreign countries are terrible places to emigrate to due to the native population's inability to behave decently and not be a load of arrogant, rude, nationalistic pr*cks.

Exactly. Poland is one such country. That's why foreigners would be well advised to avoid coming here.

Keep up the good work, WarSore.

What I also find hilarious is when Poles emigrate en masse to a country (e.g. the UK), and then complain about other migrants living there and lamenting that the cities they live in are no longer English, German or French. :D

I like what you're doing here and in other threads, WarSore. If foreigners read your posts, it should discourage them from coming to Poland. Keep up the good work! *thumbs up*

In Poland however, the culture is more materialistic

Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Salaries in politics should be substantially raised but at the same time more draconian anti-corruption laws introduced and the crooks ruthlessly punished and removed from public life forever. Unfortunately, considering Platforma's history and PiS's conduct towards their shady members (see Mejza, for example), I wouldn't hold my breath.

Maybe not very useful but still I would rather trust a guy who knows his ancient Greek Datives and Genitives than an upstart who got a dostateczny on his sociology MA diploma and is the first in his family to get any university degree at all. Call me a snob but I've pretty much had it with inteligenci z awansu in Polish politics. :(

Talking about educated generalists and British civil service, I vaguely remember a scene from Yes, Minister, with two civil servants casually discussing noun cases in ancient Greek during their work hours. I thought it was pretty hilarious and impressive at the same time. :)

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

Anybody that can make a decent salary being a barrister or a banker, would never enter the British civil service.

Hmm... might be the same problem in Poland. If we are to believe the official sources, I make more than our foreign minister. This must turn smart, honest people off of politics (because crooks will always find a way to turn political power into material profit). This might well be the reason for the negative selection.

So, what's the conclusion? Is the Russian system with disgustingly rich (and hence hard to corrupt) hermetical elites better? A rhetorical question really...

That one hit headlines everywhere.

Come to think of it, it only shows the extent of negative selection to Polish politics. We have so many smart people in the arts, technology and academia, so why is it almost invariably the greatest retards that make it to the top tier of our government? One of the mysteries of the Universe...

Why can't we be more like Britain in this regard? With proper elites, coming from the best public schools, old boys' networks and all that. Why do we have to treat the damn democracy seriously and allow the unwashed mob to vote how they like for whom they like? :( Sure, our elites were slaughtered in partitions, wars and uprisings but didn't we have enough time to rebuild them, at least partially? Down with this democracy-idiocracy thing!

The place where

How about that press conference when Kamiński and Błaszczak showed a video allegedly found on migrants' phones, showing a man having sex with an animal, which they labeled as a cow, calling it "evidence of zoophilia" among Middle Eastern migrants? Investigative outlets quickly revealed the clip was not from any migrant's device, was old internet content, and even featured a horse - not a cow.

Or that PiS MP (Sobecka?) who claimed that people don't come from monkeys and demanded that schools return to Biblical teaching. Or when Braun proposed exorcisms for Parliament and holy water purification of public offices. Or the entire Tinky-Winky drama. Or when Ziemkiewicz waved a banana on stage while ranting against the EU and leftist degeneracy.

F*ckinhell... I admit that in the eyes of foreigners it must seem at least a little bit odd. :D

But hey - this is our country, we love it, and no Tinky Winky, zoophilic migrants or homosexual EU cows will ever undermine our love. Ha!

History / Why didn't Britain declare war on USSR for invading Poland in 1939? [103]

Only thing I'd request is if they can kindly manage to not insult us all over the internet every moment of every day.

A reasonable request indeed, but making it on PF is unlikely to be very effective--as far as I know we only have two members living in the UK, and I doubt if they are among those polluting the Internet with all things anti-British.

In any case, you seem like a smart guy. Stick around.

Look, Grunni, in case you haven't noticed, since February 24th 2022 nobody in the world cares too much about international rule-based order, and we have only one person to be grateful to for it. I'll give you a hint: he likes botox, ice hockey, and bare-chest horseback riding. The axis of evil regimes needs to be stopped and their people liberated.

At least now Iran has something else to concentrate on than supplying Russian army with drones, ballistic missiles and artillery shells.

It would be nice if the British government gave them two years to pack and leave.

Hm... good thinking, Iron. We will need a lot of workforce when Ukrainians go back to their country or move further West. It would be nice to have our own back instead of importing workers from all over the world.

Tell ya what, @WarSore, if you can somehow arrange for all (or at least most) Poles to come back from the UK, we promise to never mention 'betrayal' or 'phoney war' again. As a bonus, we will also proclaim everywhere that British ladies are second only to Polish when it comes to beauty, warmth and personal charm. Do we have a deal? ;)

History / Why didn't Britain declare war on USSR for invading Poland in 1939? [103]

the creation of the state itself bears Polish as well as German fingerprints

Hm... this is a very vague statement, a one that is seemingly true but would seem to entail a measure of oversimplification and, possibly, a bit unfair as well. I understand you are annoyed by the unfair comments towards your country but you seem to be doing exactly the same thing here. Or maybe I am wrong. Maybe you are not putting an equals sign between Poland and Germany when it comes to Holocaust and the responsibility for it. Surely you realise the difference between the actions of certain civilians or crimes perpetrated by an angry mob here and there, and the official state-level genocidal policy?

You drove them out of Europe.

Jewish population in Poland thrived and multiplied throughout centuries and whilst Poland was also affected by the pre-WW2 wave of antisemitism in Europe, there was no official state-level genocidal policy of the Polish state towards Jews, so maybe - just maybe - using the collective 'you' when you apparently mean 'Poles and Germans' is just a tad unfair, don't you think?

But sure, I get it - you reply to our unfairness towards Britain with unfairness of your own. Understandable, I suppose.

more than half the elites and the army of the founding of Israel are polish. We are proud of it.

Wow! I didn't expect that from you, Amiga. *high five*

our war casualties - a war we joined when Poland was invaded - were 'laughable'

I can only apologise for the things written on the Internet by my compatriots that you read and will inevitably read in the future, but believe me - most of them are not bad people. They would behave differently if you sat at the table with them in the real life. Internet, unfortunately, has this annoying quality of bringing out the worst in people. :(

the myth about them not being invited to the victory parade

Jon, I told you so many times - either show us this mythical invitation now or forever hold your peace.
