Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Yeah...that's why polish jokes are still told in the US for 60 years after

Actually it's mostly Jews ,who control the media, that hate Poles, and allow or even encourage anti Polish movies or programs to air. They believe that we are just as guilty as the Germans for what happened to them in WW2. I've had one Russian Jew tell me, "it was the Germans who put us in concentration camps, and you who threw us in the gas chambers" can you believe that? They're alot less frequent nowadays than lets say in the 80's. I've even read a few recent articles by Jews defending Poles, saying that many did in fact help them, telling the truth.

History / Destruction of Ukrainian churches in Poland in 1938 [273]

People, who spoke Ukrainian on the daily basis were polonised or were either forced or convinced to convert to Catholic faith.

Yes Poles did close down, convert to Catholic, or destroy Orthodox Churches for polonization purposes but during the war Ukrainians "thanked" us for it, so it's even let's move on, 70 yrs. We made Ukrainians and Lithuanians Catholics, Germans made us Catholics.

Really???

Yes, not by violence or force, Mieszko I married a Czech princess and chose Catholicism, but the actual Christianization of the people spreading the faith teaching the faith to the people was done by German missionaries ( Holy Roman Empire).

Sad to hear this. Let them burn for not helping Polish people in the Warsaw Uprising.

Stalin had complete control of the country at the time, Russian people suffered under his regime more than any other, blame him blame communism not the people, they didn't do anything.

Most fires in any country are accidentally started by humans just like here in the US.

With so many fires going on in Russia, could any of this be arson?

It's unusual heat that bean going on in and around Moscow nothing else

Language / How similar are Polish and Romanian languages? [75]

I heard that typical Romanian will understand more French, Italian, Spanish guys

Yep, Romanians who moved to Spain or Italy after they joined the European Union to work, have it much easier learning the languages than Polish people.

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [451]

Seanus i'm getting the idea that you like this thread and this is all amusing you, many Polish people have small noses, u said you live in Silesia that's mostly ethnic Silesians and Germans over there. I saw many Brits with long big noses, Germans too, i think thats a European thing, Asians describe Europeans as tall men with long noses and long heads. Many Eastern Europeans have small noses with the tip upwards, like an Oriental person, that might be from admixture with Mongols or Tatats or some other people who invaded Europe over the centuries, the high cheekbones flat faces, square heads are a further proof.

There has also been an all-day Russian festival here in Poland. It was televised. Showing Katyń was good but sth else must follow IMHO.

Really do you know what was it called and where it occurred ?

Really great. It is the worst thing to be dependant on one source.

Yea Ukraine relies even more than Poland on gas from Russia

f you can't pass the barrier of our discussion about Klitschko and Golota and primitively try to divert me from supporting of what you basically was saying two posts higher, then I feel really sorry for you. LOL

I hope that's sarcasm, surely you can't possibly be still mad about that. I like Ukrainians i have nothing against them or Russians (not including their government of course) i say what i believe or know is true, i criticize Poland also. I think Tusk is an idiot, and Komorowski looks like a dumb mule, just turn him a certain direction kick him in the butt and he'll go.

Very ambitious, not afraid to start all over again, taking risks. This is what employers are looking for, good luck Wildover.

News / U.S. role in Poland is shrinking [82]

I think Poland being a friend of America is a good thing, not getting involved in foreign wars, but just being an ally. One thing, i think America as such a large and wealthy country doesn't invest enough in Poland, much smaller nations have far more money invested in our country than the U.S
