History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


yes - you thought Polish anti-semitism through - though you fail to believe Jews were wrongdoing Poles (they couldn't possibly - they are such a nice bunch) - and well if someone's rich they must be good

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

to forgive and to point someone's wrongdoing are two different things - forgiveness should not stop you for calling things their right name

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


sure - it's very similar to what some Jews thought of Germans - they couldn't think such a civilized cultural nation can seriously consider wiping them out

and I never said Poles were angels

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


and I think you are sort of positively prejudiced

I don't know if you hear of this old townish Jewish custom of spitting on the first gentile they met in the morning (the spitting was allegedely typically from windows or doorways) - that was supposed to bring a Jew good luck for a whole day (I know this from my grandpa) - I don't say all Jews were doing this - it is enough when a significant group does (like 'Poles are thieves' stereotype in Germany) to give the whole group a bad rep

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


and you are the most suited person to state what were the realities in pre-war Poland - heh

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


then you just contradict the perceptions of pre-war Poles for the most part

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


Jews were not hunted like dogs in Poland - they were disliked by many, sure - I read that if you read through criminalistic data from the interbellum period the offences against Jews were no higher than any other offences - and I think Jews did act out their main religious belief that they were the chosen nation


yeah, sure - give me the examples of Polish cliques that run things in America on whatever level

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


heh - like a human being cannot be prejudiced to people s/he is only able to read - yes, I am well prejudiced against you - you don't make a good partner for a debate because you are not open to accept some possibilities - this is my prejudice against you


yes - this is exactly what you are: lost - you cannot understand a simple debate and argument even if it's presented right before your face


someone states something like this (if you don't know they are reffering to the past then I inform you they did) - and I say it wasn't just plain simple jealousy of better-off people - Jews in pre-war Poland cooperated among themselves to oust non-Jewish competition - Poles were aware that the competition was not fair - this is my statement - I don't write of any further implications of these two things

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


no it's your own prejudice against me that blinds you - my comment about unfair competition on the part of Jews against Poles in the pre-war Poland was only addressed to the claim Poles just simply envied Jews their wealth (aka jealousy) - my comment has nothing to do with what happened during or after the war - so stick to the debate or you just don't make sense

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


please provide a source contradicting my claim :) (I have reasons enough to believe what I have written - it doesn't bother me if you don't believe it)


well I am a known Nazi scum here, haven't you noticed - before you comment on anything read what you want to comment on through and really try to make sure what the author wanted to say or even what s/he actually said (ignore what I just said if you're on a mission to prove some people are inherently wrong)


what am I supposed to write - has Poland seen plenty of charity from Jews? don't think so - should I be writing about ingenuity of Jewish people when this ingenuity often cost Poland and not given her any benefits

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

Jews in many instances cooperated among themselves to get rid or any existing or emerging gentile competition in many many fields of business and including the largest businesses - this has been seen by Poles as unfair competition simple as that - and you go on to dismiss it by saying jealousy (ever heard of a balanced perspective?)

btw I can tell you one thing - if you don't like it here just buzz off to where it's better - why endure such a heavy burden?

there have been billions of dollars extracted from this country after 1989 and some Jewish circles have been heavily involved (if you treat people like cattle don't be surprised that they don't like you)

Life / a funny poem in Polish (not mine) [11]

refreshing the topic so that more people can ponder the beauties of Polish language :)

a continued Mietek and Jadźka woods binge when Mietek discovers that somethings wrong with his bottom

poeto.pl/wiersz/30172

wait for the translation

the time of wake-up came quick
Mietek hit himself in the face while standing up
He felt some change in his ass
How the fc uk am I going to even get on my feet?
He raised his head, he can barely see
His ass is in despair
Mietek's forehead is swollen
Someone hit him on his heel
He got up with a force
He sees Jadźka standing with an oak branch in her hand
'F***, have you gone crazy'?
He smacked Jadźka with open hand
She fell in the ferns
Covering herself with her legs
She got up a little moment later
Mietek was already standing above her with a hammer in his hand
'What did you do to my ass?
And why did you beat me on the face?'
Poor Jadźka, hardly conscious,
well imbibed with wine
doesn't know herself what happened -
- the cheap wine (burak is beetroot literally) took her brains.
In order to refresh Jadźka a bit
Mietek chucked the hammer into her
This is the short part number six
Now's the time for cup of tea :)

more to follow hehe

Language / The shame! I can't pronounce my Polish wife's name (Ola) [69]


Jason - you would pronounce Olla diffrently to Ola wouldn't you - just forget your wife is Ola, and try to imagine she is a Finnish blonde called Olla :) - it will sure help ;) (but don't get on me if you eventually divorce because you start to fancy Finnish blondes ;)

Life / a funny poem in Polish (not mine) [11]

somewhere in Poland, in a small place(town)
Mietek was sittting with his bottom in pastry
He wanted to bake a cake for Jadźka,
Such a wise fool is he

He had a recipe from a neighbour,
Whose buttocks he often would bite
She gave him the recipee
Before she took him upstairs

The recipe's simple:eggs, flour
Mietek wanders around kitchen already
Somewhat milk, a glass of sugar
The cake is gonna be full of glazing

At the bottom of the page
From the neighbour who always wears sexy pants
It is written down in thick smears
'Add spirit and cream'

Mietek had cream galore
A jarfull from hundred cow's
But he doesn't have any spirit
Needs to go to other neighbour

The guy (jeleń is for someone who pays the drinks) gives him three shots (like half a pint and some more)
The rest he hid in a chest
Mietek took the spirit swiftly
He took a sip on the threshold before he left

He returned to his home's humble thresholds
In a pleasant corporal state ;)
Now it should all be clear
Why Mietek's bottom is in the pastry near ;)

the first poem translates more or less like this

the fifth part of this tale (about Mietek)
you will never believe (will not fit in your heads literally it's a Polish colloquialism don't know the English equivalent)
Well, Jadźka in the dark grove
Being already long 'dizzy' (ha don't know any better English term)
Took to dead drunk Mietek
In spite of the previous fight no foe
After an hour she figured
To have fun with Mietek.
Mietek lying wasted on the ground
Wandered in booze heaven
So Jadźka, whose teeth were gone
Broke a branch of a nearby oak
She took a long swing
And hit Mietek on the face
Uncounscious fellow barely noticed
Blood was running from around his eyes
Unmoved, but wounded
Still in deep sleep immersed
This game is to Jadźka's a tease
She smacks Mietek again and again
'Let the old bloke wake up beaten -
I will not give myself to him in the morning
And he won't be very merry
When he sees his forehead
Which took violet shades
He will scream - what the hell happened
Jadźka will tell Mietek boy
that he messed with a bear
The bear was big and strong
And wanted to sign marriage with him
But he took to wedding night early
And made some space in Mietek's ass
He shook Mietek big time
(don't know how to translate this verse)
The wake-up is gonna be sorry
Mietek thighs are gonna hurt him
There are such cases in the woods
That your buttocks will hurt too.

Language / Nice Polish phrases to say to men [76]


you are cute' would be Jesteś śliczny (more or less - but it can be also Jesteś fajny just as cute can mean a broad spectrum of things) - but you don't say such things to Polish men - it's girls and kids that are cute and not men

Life / Doughnut [Pączki] Day... in Poland [70]


that's what I meant - you need to give your woman a sense that she's being pampered - yearly husband-made pączkis pefrectly fit the bill :)

Life / Doughnut [Pączki] Day... in Poland [70]


you will have to eventually learn how to make pączki yourself, ya know :) - she won't settle for some donuts for the rest of her life ;) (and don't expect her to learn how to make pączki herself - she's a modern woman after all ;)

News / Police and priests save homeless in Poland [29]


drunk people cause trouble you know - would you as a non-alcohol-addicted homeless person enjoy the company stinking drunks? - I am not sure every shelter has facilities to wash and clothe these people - also it's not so easy task to do that (try washing and clothing a semi-unconscious person and then multiply the time by an order of hundred)

News / Police and priests save homeless in Poland [29]

I think it's quite likely that the matter is exaggerated and/or not so straightforward - like for example the definition of public places in question

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]


the amount of time that is devoted to teaching of correct Polish spelling in school is the one single most important reason

the programmes were enough 20 or 30 years back with children not spending most of their time in front of TV or a computer - children are now bombarded with information and being so distracted at each and every corner and AFAIK the curriculums of Polish language teaching haven't been revised to address that

- Polish children are taught (were taught) a lot of theory of literature and loads of cultural (greek myths, symoblic figures etc etc) and patriotic notions (greek myths, symoblic figures - especially theory of literature is completely useless - I would even argue whether patriotic notions should be taught (they are taught based on literature - like Mickiewicz, Słowacki, Broniewski etc etc) - with so much time spent on useless things in later classes children who haven't managed to learn proper spelling and other basic stuff in the first couple of classes are left out in the cold in this field - this is why with a fairly simple ortography Polish language has we have so many kids (and subsequently adults) who never learn correct spellings (or make tons of mistakes) - fortunately Polish ortography is even simpler in that respect that you have no problems in reading out what is written - i.e. with significantly few exceptions you know how to read out/pronounce a word by the form it is written (in contrast for example to English ortography)

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

I would not have doubts that you have some Eastern European ancestry - you wouldn't stick out on a Polish street in the slightest (in the right clothes ;)

the history of Polish surnames is usually a pretty bland one - you got a core name 'drozd' which is thrush in English I believe - then either a place (village) was named after the bird itself or after a person who was named after the bird (a personal name Drozd you would think it a nick actually) - so you got a place name Drozdów (Drozdów meant originally belonging to or created by Drozd) (you can try to google the name there probably are a couple of such places in Poland all definitely small or otherwise I would have know them) - then comes the time where people start to be called with something more than just the first name this is the time also when nobility cristalizes in Poland (ok nobility formed earlier actually) - and the typical method of creating the surnames among the nobility is to take it from some of their villages towns - Drozdowski means simply 'of Drozdów' - and that's it

History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]


he most probably means things in the distant past - like 17th century (in case of Ukraine it would be 18th century) - in the early 17th century the protototype of Lisowczycy laid waste to big swaths of western Russia killing all that moved in their way

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]


the same root is in the surname Kryszczyszyn which I think is also of Ukrainian origin - guess there was a short form Kriszczo of Kristofor

Kryszczyszyn means exactly son of Christopher

Genealogy / Is your line of the Polish family noble? [74]


if nobility were 10 per cent of the population in the mid of 18th century then as people started to mix more (with a kickstart in the middle of the 19th century and hardly any notion of nobility as a separate caste after the WW2) there is a great probability you have some ancestors from former nobility - simply remember that before 19th century the nobility mostly kept to themselves (if one was of nobility they had both parents of nobility 95 plus per cent of cases) - then mix the population thoroughly and in a couple of generations you can have 100 per cent of people who can claim their ancestors where of nobility - capisci??? - this is actually very similar to what actually happened

another issue is how come 10 per cent of the population were nobility - well nobility was not a case of owning a land only of owning a title - there were multitude of 'farmer-nobles' who worked their own land in certain areas of Poland or the Commonwealth (Podlasie, big swaths in Lithuania proper and Lithuania sensu lato (modern day Belarus) - there were also multitudes of non-haves szlachta who owned no land and lived off the service to the magnates ('golcy') - this was part of the reason why magnates were so influential - they had plenty of voting supporters and in need armed force in their noble clients)

in Podlasie many villages were in time ennobled en masse for their valour in service to the king - this is one of the reasons why there were so many 'farmer-nobles'
