Language / Polish sayings [237]

McCoy had an excellent one on another forum.

"Don't talk with stupid because first he will bring you down to his level and than he will defeat you with his experience."

I am in the process of translating it into Polish.

Thanks McCoy...

Please, if you do not mind please tell me how I made out... I am trying to learn this stuff :')

nie rozmawiać głupiego ponieważ pierwszy sprowadź się do jego poziomu i wtedy będzie pokonać w jego doświodczenia.

Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]

I've noticed immature people look at what the person looks like on the outside, while the mature ones see the beauty from within that person.

Maybe the times and the expectations of people have changed over time.

These days there does seem to be a greater focus on the superficial.

USA, Canada / WHAT IS THE US POLONIA LIKE? [42]

I would have to say Chicago Polonia is better people

The Polish in Chicago are second to none. I hope the Poles in town stay; they add so much to the city.

Chicago is the best place and it is very beautiful.

Chicago of the past is a beautiful city. Now, well, it's a shame in what it has become.

USA, Canada / WHAT IS THE US POLONIA LIKE? [42]

oK whens Paczki day,,,,Isnt it coming soon?

sledz,

I believe the date you have in mind is February 24th 2009.

As for the Polish in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune ran an article about the Poles in the city. Many are disillusioned and looking to return home unless immigration laws change.

Poles leaving Chicago would be a shame.

As to the other comments posted by sledz, he's right. The city has become far less safe and enjoyable as the years have past.

Sadly, it (Chicago and society) only looks to be getting worse.

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Without Bismarck there wouldn't even be a german nation as we know it!
Stop flaming the man, man!

Bismarck felt that the existence of Poland was a threat to the German state.

Bismarck wrote this about the Polish people: "One shoots the wolves if one can." viva wilk!

As far as the missile defense shield is concerned: en.rian.ru/russia/20090302/120375219.html

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]

Forget DeGaulle, Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky's innovation transformed war in the twentieth century. His offensive operational theory known as Deep Penetration was a precursor of the Wehrmacht's Blitzkrieg..

Can you give an example when Nikolayevich put his theory in action before 1920?

I believe that Tukhachevsky used some similar tactics in the south of Russia during the Civil War.

I am not disparaging Piłsudski; nor the Poles. I am well aware of the impact of the Husaria.

I am just trying to give some credit to the father of 'Deep Operations'.

I am sure Zhukov's philosophy at Khalkhyn Gol was directly attributable to Tukhachevsky.

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Wahldo,

I would agree with you that this president has a huge task in front of him. I find it rather unsetling that the nerw president is tired this early in his term.

Maybe go to bed earlier, quit smoking,, in general maybe he should take better care of his health and fitness?

We all know that the job will not get easier or less stressful anytime soon.

News / Do Poles in Poland really feel betrayed because there won't be any US Shield? [288]

Whether or not Obama definitively cancels the missile defense plans will be a decisive indication if serious US rethinking is possible or not.
