Feedback / The image of Poland according to PolishForums [90]

The Polish Forums world is a world which is made up of PF members. This Poland (right here) is different than the Poland I am sitting on.

The Poland of PF has an Admin (the All knowing, all wise, all powerful and omipotent, eternal). The Poland I sit on have a democratic goverment... much different.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]

What do you think about Turks?

Generally...in terms of a nation... when I read your history...its full of Chivalry. Gallant men (many can even translate them as barbarians) conquering and reigning... Turks even before Islam, such as the Byzantine Empire ... and the Eastern Roman Empire... etc.

Turkey always remained a power block. However, its people whom I met are much violent and very untrustworthy.... but thats only those whom I met, probably you have good people back in your home.

Todays turkey, when asks for EU membership... the best I can do is to say 'Wish you all the best..' (I wouldnt go to give my vote though....neither yes nor no).

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

Polonya Tatar Birlik is Turkish

Being Turkic doesnt mean TURKISH bluntly. The Tatars look mongol... their very personality is Mongol... and they came in Europe as a part of the Mongol Army.

I think its very naive of your calling them turkish... to even start with race...they are not turkish at all!

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

They are from the times of the teutonic knights... and they allied with the mainstream polish people in the dark ages.

They are preety much mixed. Such a mixture... that calling them apart needs an expert polish eye :)

No relationship to Poles.

dont be so sure...

This is a flag used by the Union of Polish Tatars (Zwiazek Tatarow Polskich or Polonya Tatar Birlik), the foremost organization of the remnants of a once prosperous and influential ethno-religious group of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. From feared invaders in the XIII Century, the Tatars evolved into one of the most patriotic elements of the Polish nation. Treated with respect and equality, allowed complete religious freedom, they served with enthusiasm and numerous sacrifices their new fatherland. Over the years most of them lost their language and even the religion of their fathers by blending into Polish nobility and general population. Wars, partitions and border changes affected them severely, and today only about a few hundred thousand remain faithful to their tradition and Islam. But their involvement in epic struggles in defense of Poland, from the wars with the Teutonic Knights to fierce resistance against German-Soviet invasion of 1939 entitle them a special place in the society.

However, the Polish tatars are actually not all moslems. Many of them are Christians ... a big portion of them are very much crossed ... and are difficult to trace, unless seen with a very Polish eye.

These people are the most gallant members of the Polish Army. Have been the most prized possession. Their loyalty and commitment is reported to be breathtaking.


  • Polish-Tatar Flag. Another accepted flag of Poland.

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

.Of course alot of Polish people have Mongolian ancestry somewhere down the line.My mother looks Mongolian,and she is Polish

No.

Yes sir, there is evidence. Unless you have seen the Polish populace closely...

The North Easterns have a big percentage.. its not only visible but its even feelable :). The tatars as mentioned here... are on Mongoloid ancestry. There are semi-tataristic people (christians... but cross with tatar man/woman as ancestor).

The Polish Tatars however (Moslem or Christian) are more Polish than mongoloid (perhaps... 70/30 or 80/20). But still... the ancestry is there.

The whole of Poland... I would say... 60% of or population have some kind of Mongoloid ancestry... Due to the history we have with them... and their most obvious influences.

Good luck in your search

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

most ethnic groups seem to have a fairly negative opinion of black people in London.

I ... am not 100% in agreement. The black people from Africa, and seldom frowned upon by some unsure eyes of men here. Because of the 50cent culture usually being their brand. But, even that is changing, as we meet better people... buttt... :D ... it will take abit more time. I have seen dark people from other places...people dont find doubt in them...instead we go ahead and shake a hand... but... the very attitude advertised about afro people... are negative and demeaning I think.

I would say... I prefer to meet someone and spend some time before coming to a conclusion. And that conclusion will not be for all his nation :).

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

I dont see him finding a polish girl with his attitude.

Polish girl or not dear ... its a completely different matter.

See, I have been fortunate to meet some diverse people... some are more dignified than others, but basically are people you can smile at, and can feel good about.

However, the turks whom I met, or came across through various medium, have been strange. They seem to be looking at European women (and I mean stictly European) as objects which does not deserve respect. They laugh among themselves even... and its such a shameful attitude. I dont want to sound racist, because I am not. I believe that there are other very dignified Turks. However, I just dont seem to find one who would genuinely respect.

I fear to say, they find themselves higher to consider European women as objects of tease, use and throw away things. No other people I have come across have been VISIBLY so ignorant.

I apologise to any good man if he finds it offending (Turk). But this is the fact. Nothing to do. Your youth are displaying this ALL OVER Europe!!!

Sometimes I felt about a few men i knew... they failed to recognise anyone as human deserving proper view, other than themselves (and a few of their neighbour...only a few of their neighbours). They try to act as they are cool... but so much is visible.

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

Though my local women are Polish... still... would like to say one thing...

Women are women... where ever they are from. When I was born, I didnt care which nationality my mother belonged to. I know I clung on to my mother... and that is such a pure love.

Beauty you ask? ... beauty is there where trust and respect exists. Beauty comes from the heart ... its eternal. Beauty never can die. Beauty creats love and love creats beauty. Such an aspect cannot be dependent on something so moral/finite/limited as physical fitness or facial attractiveness.

I feel women from each country are just equal when it comes to beauty. For a fortunate man, he can find true Love, through recognising true beauty. In the Bible it says that God is Love! ... hence I feel, whenever we can true love, we find God in one of His colors... and we know... God Is Beautiful :).

My salut to all the women who are beautiful.. from every country, continent, ocean and sky!

:)

Turkish Delight

I read some of your writing. I dont want to think you represent the Turks. But, maybe unfortunately, till now the turks I met have not been sensible. Maybe I met less... in university i met 2, online i met a few... none have remained completely sane!

Why is it? There seems to be another problem... something to do with ignorance.

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

I think... its abit too stretched :). Ofcourse, the color contrast might be different... but not absolutely another race! We can mix and become something new.

And that will not happen in 2025... it might in 2500!
