Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

Paulina, she reads PF so I'd better not say ;) ;)

And she knows what you're writing here about Polish women? So what harm there would be if she knew what you're thinking about her?

It looks like you're not honest with her.

You just have to listen more to russian rap.

Is Russian rap your source of knowledge about the world and its inhabitants? :)))

I also get mad sometimes when Polki start speaking on mobile to bfs and other men in front of me

LOL

And what's wrong with that? Women don't have right to speak to other men and their boyfriends in your presence? ;D

or they say to me how good they were duped by other men

Funny, I don't meet such Polish women though I live in Poland :) Maybe you have bad taste in women and mingle with wrong sort of people.

Or maybe you're simply jealous? :)

Paulina, yes I am. It's very much a work in progress ;)

And what? Is your wife selfish, self-centred, vain, moody, ignorant and mutters expletives at you? :)

Very selfish, when they want it only. If you don't oblige, they mutter expletives at you. Some of the most self-centred women I have ever met.

Good point, KP. Vain, moody and ignorant. They possess those qualities in abundance. Valiant and heartfelt Celts they are not! Give me a passionate Celtic woman anyday.

LOL

Seanus, aren't you married to a Polish woman? :)

And you think you can escape so easily from the Russkayas?

I think they're more likely to run from you than the other way round :)

it depends on the girl man, not the nationality. Generalizing is idiotic and so the generalizers are.

Indeed.

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]

Pawian i Paulina, thanks for pics!

Не за что :)

Thanks, Paulina, I heartily appreciate that!

:)

As I said it unfortunately takes a couple article or a forum thread translated to foment hatred. In other words, the problem is mutual.

Yes, I know :(
But I think some of their views originated from long before reading Polish articles and forums.

At least those Russians I was writing about before.

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]

Inosmi you mean? It's a cesspool of hatred and fiefdom of jingoes and hatemongers.

Yes, Inosmi :) But most of the "fans" of Poles and Poland moved to "Inoforum" ;) And then to another forum.

It's like surveying prisoners to get an idea on what the life on the freeside is.

I hope so :)
But I must admit sometimes I wonder whether some of their views are marginal or predominant in Russian society. It's because I meet mainly such Russians. It seems that Polish themes somehow attract this sort of folk. I guess they feel a need to fight against the enemies of Russia, even on the internet ;)

You know, some of them are nice. And those Russians write they don't hate Poles. But their views give me creeps o_O

I bet you, Paulina, ran onto the same ilk of Polish guys over there...

Yes, but on the Polish internet. Poles rarely visited Inosmi and then Inoforum. They usually don't know these forums exist (which is good, I think ;)). And they don't know Russian language well enough to read or to write there.

Unfortunately I missed the parade in Moscow (it was to early for me for a Sunday morning ;)). But later I went to the Soviet cemetery in my city to light a candle and put a flower :)

News / 1945-2010 Poles will march on Red square [66]

Sure?

Yup. Those Russians I came across on the internet were very patriotic about Russia. The only Russian thing they attacked was liberal opposition and liberal media.

Just seen how fun for such guys was the news about explosion in a coal mine...

I'm sure there are such people on the internet.
But I personally have different experiences. I discussed mainly with Russians from Russia. Also with some living in Ukraine and Poland. There is a Polish-Russian LJ community I visit and there are only Russians there. I also know a Russian forum where there are Polish articles, blogs and forums being translated on a daily basis (if I'm not mistaken Borrka is well known over there thanks to those translations). You can imagine what's going on in there :)))

But I think those people are a "specific" crowd. Or, at least, I hope so ;)

If you'll analyze who is writing sad comments about Poland, you'll find that many of them do almost the same about Russia in another threads.

Not really.

Ukrainian nazis is most active...

Where?

I sense that Poland is being lulled into a false sense of security and partnership. I'd like to feel otherwise but sth is up.

Well, I think Poles know well enough that with Russia we have to have our eyes on the back of our heads ;) But it won't hurt to try and make our relations with Russia better, I think.

French, Italian, British not coming...

They weren't present also at the funeral of president Kaczyński and his wife. President Medvedev came and Poles appreciated this. And so Komorowski will be present at the parade in Moscow.

Me neither, however one can sometimes make a good use of it

Yes, I know what you mean.
But I guess some people can change their ways when they realise that their behaviour is wrong and not accepted by others ;)

Then "dobro pozhalovat" (welcome). :)

Thanks :)

Yet it seems like you read Russian forums, blogs dedicated to Poland. Would be great if you could share your perspectives on what you pick up from there.

Um... What exactly do you have in mind? ;) Because on the internet you pick up a lot of stuff, both good and bad. One could write a book about it, I guess ;) In short, I got to know Russians better, I think (in fact, before I didn't know them at all :)), or, at least, some of them. And Poles. And myself :)

And I've noticed that we all just want to get along, but somehow it's not that easy ;)

However, lately I can see a light on the horizon :) Some hope. A wind of change coming from the Russian authorities, especially president Medvedev. Or at least it looks like it ;)

And on the 9th of May I'm going to kindle a light of my own at the Soviet cemetery in my city :)

Pay attention to the date of this post

LOL Right, I didn't notice it ;))) I'm still "new" to this forum and didn't read it much ;)

and the general atmosphere of the discussion with Mac. :) We'd been at odds first time. :))

OK, I can see now that McCoy first wrote "you ruskas".
I just don't like when people use derogatory terms for nationalities, even in the heat of discussion.

Yes please. :) It's interesting for me which of my words might be read as "racist" and "anti-polish".

Well...:

the most educated pshek ever

"Pshek" can be used as derogatory term ;)

But I don't think Sasha is anti-polish :)

I didn't know it was only Polish-Lithuanian army that won the Grunvald battle. :))) Something new for me...

Not only, there were also Rusini, Czesi, Mołdawianie, Tatarzy, but I guess Polish-Lithuanian army were the main forces. Those who took part in the battle:

News / RUSSIA TO MAKE PUBLIC THE KATYN FILES... [274]

Do you consider it's a measure? If so, then measure to what?

Well, is a Mayor of Moscow with his plans to honour Stalin with posters in the city during the 9th of may the same as some anonymous, marginalized neonazi in Berlin...?

The second one is more creepy, for sure, but the first one is more important...

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]

Partyzant AK: I'm 22 .

So you're younger than me. Masz jeszcze czas żeby zmądrzeć :)

Partyzant AK: And yes I know some germans.

And? Do you hate them?

Partyzant AK: And I know what I'm talking about, cause propably you have no idea what is happening now in germany.. Nazi parties and all that stuff.

I think I know what you're talking about. I've read some articles. But there were and probably still are neonazis in Poland too :) I never could understand how it's possible :) There even was a neonazi girl at my school :)

As far as I know there's some problem with memory in the Eastern part of Germany. But that's probably a problem of all former communist countries. We have problems with dealing with our past. Look at Russia, for example.

Partyzant AK: We can't forget or we will have another '39

History should be remembered and be a lesson for us all. It won't guarantee us it won't happen again (look at the Balkans, for example) but I agree it's important. But why hate? Do you need hate to remember?

Partyzant AK: Learn more and turn off your TV.

I don't watch much TV, to be honest :) I can make up my mind on my own.

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]

Partyzant AK: This is my country and my history and I'm not gonna forget what they did to my family.

"Remember" doesn't mean "hate". Hate is a bad, destructive feeling. It will eat you up, eventually. Believe me.
How old are you? Have you met any Germans at all?
Those Germans who did something to your family are either dead or very old.
So do you hate all Germans? Even the young ones?

Life / Do Polish people have a temper? [53]

LOL

PolishNutjob: Polish women in particular have been known to display violent, irrational temper tantrums.

Oh, really? :)
Have been known? By whom?
And in comparison to women of which nationality? Do they have more violent temper than Spanish women? Italian women? Russian woman? I believe not :)

PolishNutjob: It is, for the most part, a by-product of frustrated ambition.

Um, what? Elaborate, please :)

PolishNutjob: Overshadowed by the superior stock of females to the east

LOLI asked you before in another thread, but I think you didn't answer my question - what's your nationality? :)

PolishNutjob: and confronted by the "high-quality" pool of available Polish gentlemen,

What? ;D

PolishNutjob: Polish women are explosions waiting to happen. Be careful when in the vicinity of such outbursts.

Oooh, you weakling... :)))

PolishNutjob: This pathology is especially acute among the frustrated 26-38 year old Polish spinsters.

Oh, and why is that? :D

PolishNutjob: In addition to the above-mentioned conditions, Polish spinsters in this demographic category also have to reckon with being also-rans relative to their younger counterparts. This accelerates the frustrated ambition quotient and incites numerous dramatic hissy fits.

And, of course, there's no way that a 26-38 year old "spinster" from any country could have "dramatic hissy fits", be frustrated or something, only Polish women! :)

PolishNutJob, why do you hate Polish women so much? :) I've noticed in your other posts on this forum that you have something against Polish women :) Why is that?

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

Having a slang word for a Pole which origins from the original description of a Pole isn't really that offensive

Well, that depends, really.
For example, a slang word for a Russian in Polish is "Rusek/Ruski". Adjective for anything Russian is "ruski". It of course originates from Russian language in which "ruskij" means "a Russian" or adjective "Russian".

But most Russians usually find it offensive. And often they are right to do so. It sounds even worse if it's about a woman ("Ruska"). Of course, many people in Poland probably got used to this word to such an extent that they don't realise it can be viewed as derogatory. Some russophiles also can use this word but in a positive way, to show affection.

I guess it depends on intenstions.

Another example - a derogatory term for a Chinese man in Polish is "Kitajec". "Kitajec" is a normal, official Russian word for a Chinese :)

So, you have to be careful with words :)

In general, I think, those Poles in Poland who know that Polish people in the US are called Pollacks, wouldn't want to be called this way.

As for German words "Polacke" and "Polacken" (at least in case of a German saying them) I would advise to use them only among Polish friends if this person knows they won't feel offended.

IMHO :)

What is the correct word to call Polish people...????

As far as I know in English language it's "a Pole" (singular) and "Poles/Polish people" (plural) :)

anyone from the NY area can see the brooklyn accent is pretty off. i'd say that was the weakest one she did.

I don't know English accents that well, but I've noticed the French accent was also rather weak - she just said some words in French and I didn't hear that typical French "r" ;)

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]

Why did Hitler kill so many Jew's in Poland?

Because at that time in Poland there was the biggest community of Jews in Europe. In 19th century it was 1/5 of world's Jewish population. So I guess it was easier to bring all the rest of Jews in Europe to Poland than the other way round. And I think there was something about railway routes - it was convenient as Poland was Germany's neighbour or something.

Language / Do Poles prefer US American or UK English language? [147]

Off topic maybe, but conversely, how do the Polish native speakers here feel about a foreigner learning the 'Zakopane ł' or 'stage ł' as in the 'dark' Russian variety vs. the standard non-velarized, labial 'ł'?

I've never been to Zakopane and don't know what's this 'Zakopane ł' is :P And I'm not sure what this 'dark' Russian variety means.

Do you mean the old "ł" which you can hear in old Polish films and which is spoken by people from Kresy? It sounds more like "l", yes?

I'm quite well into my adult years too ;)

I can see that ;)
