Should I copy/paste every sentence made by stupid polish politicians now?

Do you think Barley is the Führer of the german EU-Reich?

PS: She has been criticized for that remark in Germany...an apology is still missing though!

If she would be really the "Führer" of the new "Reich" as you implied Poland would have taken in as many of them as Germany wanted and said "Danke Schön"!

Somewhere your argumentation is faulty....maybe mixed with some regret?

Are you really a Pole? I'm always abit dumbfounded about posters on a polish board with the Hitler number 88 in their nick...

Nope...I never said that...not even East Germany got rich overnight, not even after the "Anschluß" to super rich West Germany!


Love you too, Iron! :)

One of the biggest is oil!

"... Since the discovery of North Sea oil in Norwegian waters during the late 1960s, exports of oil and gas have become very important elements of the economy of Norway."

Till Poland could brag about a similar discovery and becoming practically super rich overnight I would avoid compare Poland's economical challenges to Norway's...

And yet, even Norway does his part:

"... Although Oslo does not pay directly into the EU budget, it does contribute to a compulsory instrument known as the EEA Financial Mechanism. ... Norway currently pays €391 million per year, plus some extra for access to various other EU instruments, according to a new paper from the People's Vote campaign."

The "Norway-model" was actually talked about during the Brexit campaign, as a possibility for GB...there have been made some important points:

....and the time before the EU had been such a high point for the white countries of Europe. I believe to remember Poland got nearly annihilated...but I could err...

I have done my thinking and like to believe I have influenced some of the future of my country, now it's the next generation...it's their future after all, they have to shape and to live it!


...is that so? Something in the water? Or the toothpaste? :)


I now came to think that wouldn't had stopped Hitler at all. His rise could and should had stopped. IMHO the end of WWI was handled so badly it paved the way.

But Poland profited mightily from the treaty of Versailles. So...I'm searching for a more fair treaty for both of our peoples but I can't find any...especially not with the French sitting on the table.

So....Poland did always everything right? How come it still ended up so often in such a ****** position during it's history?

Listen, I really don't want to start another dick fight...I'm just saying that defeats can teach you often more valuable lessons than victories. Even as they are much more difficult to handle, especially mentally. Who doesn't prefer a nice victory parade plus pride overall...understandable.


Agreed! :)

....well...I personally will surely have died out till then, so... :)

History / Battle of Vienna - history movie about Poland / Commemoration [36]

I would be proud to have some Neanderthal in me...that would make me double NATIVE, heh:)

But frankly all that "dying out" talk is useless...not even the Native Americans have died out....not to mention that they too hadn't been native to the Americas but immigrated from somewhere else.

What you really fear is the end of the Western Civilization as you know it, the top spot for a few white people getting lost...that could happen in the future...but that isn't synonymous with "dying out" which only can happen if your DNA gets deleted from the gene pool. And frankly, watching more and more Afro-Americans with the phenomenon of blue eyes (THE definitive proof of heritage for Europeans) I doubt that very much.

I wish you would vocalize your fears more clearly!

The mainstream 30 years back was IMHO (at least in the West) also a lot more conservative/rightist.

The mainstream was different 30 years back!

That's what I wonder! What would have made this man even mention these studies in a political speech, no matter where. What point exactly was he trying to make with that?

Why did he make it to a topic at all? Does that have anything to do with his politics?

Well, that article gives proof that there is something to that, men and women differ in many ways, this is a fact....but that is a far cry away from "women are dumber than men". I think most people object to THAT, and that isn't a scientific fact at all!

I never heard of that....do you have a link?

Agreed...it's a similar revolution as the invention of the letter print machine once was.

That didn't start with the Internet.....to listen to several news sources is an old thing....just remember back to WWII or the times of the Cold War. Radio waves couldn't be hold back by the Iron Curtain. People in East Germany even watched West TV when they could. It was also a propaganda war!

It's not so much a question of availability but trustworthiness. A survey found out that a majority of Germans still watch and believe the "mainstream" news, even as they inform themselves also through various Social Media. The Internet has become an addition, not a full replacement.

The tipping point, where a majority completely distrusts the mainstream media and only believe their own opinion bubble has not been reached....yet. Maybe will never.

Wouldn't that be cool? That would give Poland's voice much more weight...

I wonder what that would mean for Warsaw's policies in Brussels....and it's alliances...

Next step in the game:

Blaming NATO for calling up his own military!

Possible step after that:

Using his own troops to "rescue" Belarus from foreign invaders (NATO) / aka forcefully suppressing protests...asking comrade Putin for help (optional).

I think such numbers are giving most people goosebumps (and bad memories)...

I really don't think any of it is on the cards for Belarus anytime soon....(even if they wanted to).


I can only think that a lot of Belorussians had been just put off by Lukashenkos latest election fraud...he must have overestimated his people's humour...


Agreed! The reactions in Berlin to the happenings in Belarus are only lukewarm and halfhearted blah at best...

Yeah....the EU was no big player in Ukraine, and she won't be a big help in Belarus either. The people there seem to know that...
