What do Polish people think about Belorussians? [38]
Typical Polish "Pany" scare tactics employed for centuries by the Russians bad "Lachy".
That doesn't make any sense to me, sorry.
He never mentioned a unity with Poland in his posts yet you automatically assumed that to be the case. There's nothing wrong with having a friendly approach to ones neighbors and still having your own national identity intact.
I never said unity with Poland could somehow degrade or even affect self-respect. There's nothing wrong with being friendly to one's neighbours.
I already apologized for that I was too hasty and probably too harsh in my conclusion but here and there I've run onto many examples of how people from the former USSR (including Russia) are ready to adopt the most ridiculous version of their own origins/heritage and pervert the history for the only purpose to bash Russia and shift all the blame upon her. It's like trying to disprove one false theory taking on trust the other one false.
I applaud him for making an effort to see what the opinion of an average Pole might be towards his country given the proximity and how little we know of each other.
If this is the case I applaud him as well. Why shouldn't I, considering that I'm here on this forum for the purpose of learning more about Poland?
Perhaps I'm wrong but you perceive it to be a threat.
Threat? You probably meant jealous if it comes to the very pinch, but "threat"... *shrugged*
Low self worth on your part if you ask me given how tight the Russian-Belorussian relationship is.
I'm afraid I can't track your logic here either.
The willingness to travel and to talk, to get a glimpse of what the outside world is really like, that's how the opinions are formed. Only then you can dismiss the propaganda fed to you by media resources.
That solely forms your personal opinion which against the background of your at times magisterial and mentoring tone sounds somewhat irritating. People tend to believe what they want to believe in, don't they? Communicating with people from Western and Eastern parts of Ukraine two people may end up with diametrically opposite opinions. Why do you act as if you have monopoly on the truth? You've travelled a lot? Ok, I'm happy to hear that. I've been to more than ten countries either. If we still want to measure the truth with our experience then I would emphasize one's open mind first of all as a key to learn the truth. If one doesn't like to hear the harsh truth or something that doesn't fit one's own agenda, how can one claim being all-know?
I see hope while all you see is insubordination.

You're a right opinions are like asshåles but the options in real life are very limited unfortunately: limited political parties, limited religions, limited candidates for presidency and so on. Wanna be apolitical atheist? Ok, go for it but you won't be unique either. Now about "information age"... it's harder and harder for people to pick from the various info the proper one, no matter if one lives in nominally democratic Poland or in nominally totalitarian Belorussia. Nowadays it doesn't really necessary to scare anybody to have a firm grip on the reins of power. It only takes to win over the majority, the crowd to come to power. People can think but most of simply don't bother themselves to.
Like "Polskie Pany" will return and take away your independence.
???
whose?
The willingness to travel and to talk, to get a glimpse of what the outside world is really like, that's how the opinions are formed.
Who form the opinions of those who have never travelled in this world as simply can't afford to, id est the opinion of the vast majority, you think?
