News / Poland's fidelity to support wars and its limits. [46]

fighted grimly for independance but was vanquished by Russia.

Yes you wish that, last time I checked it was Prussia-Austria-Russia
I dream that it was solely Russia :)

So, you can count the train of surrenderings since 1792 if you want

Then how come Poland regained it's independence in 1918 and later on in 1989?

If it would surrendered it would have given on a plate...
Wich I remember didn't get...

To be submissive or resigned; to yield without murmuring.

I can't remember that the Polish people didn't murmur :p

I agree Russia had control of some parts of Poland (later Soviet Union the whole) but that Poland was submitted? Hardly think so!

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]

Wisła Kraków - Schalke 04 game on TV,

and I thought I saw a shadow of a smile on the face of my neighbour's father
when Schalke scored a goal...

I would smiled too...
Milicyjne gnójowki!

guess I was wrong.

Been trying to educate people it's the SPIRIT! That matters :)
Who cares how you pronunce "NO" when everyone gives you a grim face!

One doesn't need to know how to write Kurwa to carry the Polish flag!!

What is "sheeple"?

Just so you wouldn't feel dumb I had the same question :p

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

I've read tons of sh!t spilled on Kossak on that forum and many, many others.
She was nothing. Poles were nothing.

Yeah I can bet, that in your imaginery life ALL Poles should have have taken arms (wich even the home army didn't have plenty enough of) and rise up against the Germans (helping Jews alone was a death sentence) and freed all Jews back to their safe homes (wich weren't since Poles were shot out at streets and Germans could walk into a building without any problems)

Could you possibly think of where the underground army could have put thoose Jews IF they got liberated?

Neither Soviets or other Allies helped when the Home Army was giving out information on what was happening and they CLEARLY Couldn't do it ALONE!

You gotta be really... ill save that for myself!

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]

also that English is a germanic language...

Even if I do have Germanic roots, have a native language wich is more German then Norwegian really I am still not german nor will I ever be im Norwegian/Polish in my soul and nobody can change it even if they test my blood and it shows 100% German roots I still say:

I AM HALF POLISH AND HALF NORWEGIAN!!!

Roots may give some sentimental duudli daddle and interesst of reading it up. But it won't change any intellectual beeing.

History / Question on Poland's szlachta clan admission [26]

I suppose it would been possible, back in the good old days 1 had to bring some family members (2 maybe) to court (maybe) and testify they were in family with that person or from the same heritige.

Although if someone joins the family it should be possible to knight that person as a member of a noble family then. (think first nobles weren't nobles at birth)

So logiclly there should be a chance for that, but I am not sure myself :)

Most of it are only theories from my side

But if it is sincere and how long it will last. Mmm :)

History / Poland's General Anders and one of the biggest "What Ifs?" of WW2 [31]

As a half Pole it's all nice to read but as a strategist as hobby I would just /sigh

Unless somebody in the west would support such things as even giving them weaponry or positive speech out in the public then they maybe would have a chance.

But you DO know the ATTITUDE of the "Allies" after WW2 about SU? :)

History / Poland's General Anders and one of the biggest "What Ifs?" of WW2 [31]

And you underestimate the considerable punch of the western allies and the Wehrmacht as a combined force.

The army would be enough maybe... but the political will was never there.
(Except for Churchill but the americanos didn't want it)

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]

History / Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]

Veit Stoß a clearly German artists who did alot of cool work for now-polish towns but still is and was a German. ;)

Even if in-fact he was, he was still accepted as a Pole from the Polish community for all work he had done for Poles.
And Germans called him a Pole when he went back to Germany...

It's not a fact to call someone a Pole it's an honor!
If you look back in history there were no Poles 1000 years ago, there were Lędzianie, Mazowszanie etc

It's the connection of tribes wich made them all Polish (the cause itself, the joint to survive together) and anyone wanting to join it, can call himself a Pole if he truely feels like one in spirit. Piłsudski saw on himself as Pole/Lithuanian, Lithuanian body with a Polish soul. That's why the Lithuanians don't like him. He refused to acknowledge anything like separational Lithuania.

A true I RP thinker

BB
look at commonwealth.pl and check up the "Deutsche Vita" the choir music is wonderful (the best ive ever heard)

and yes Piłsudski is going to be Poland's king of all time! :D

Love / Do you think that Polish should stick to Polish? [128]

personally I hear the best men around are guys of Polish heritage, raised in Scandinavia who now live in the US.

I AM MOVING TO USA ^^

If your family oriented and want your children to grow up in a Polish environment I would suggest moving to Poland for sure. Or finding an Pole living in Canada for instance.

Love comes and goes blood/spirit stays forever in ones heart

DISCLAIMER: this was not meant as an endorsement of American English over British English, which it isn't. I didn't want to start a flame war.

huh?

History / Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]

Thanks for the link Gruni! :)

No problem (Kein problem)

It's rather interesting that all this happened first after full polonisation of the German element.

Still the German element was there, it's the mixing itself with a lot of cultures which made the Polish culture so unique at that time.

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]

Well lets bring it home a bit, Norwegians tried to wipe out the indigenous Sami culture.

I know, and many Norwegians don't really /care
I am really ashamed of it, I think of the Sami culture very highly

Still proves my point that... not many Norwegians know FULLY what the Sami people went through...

Who were about to shed the shackles of yet another dictatorship? As the Poles wished to do also?

The internet wasn't available the communication between nations wasn't that good, and nobody knew that much about what happened in ww2 like we know today.

Also Poles looked at Germans, Germany as evil imperialists (think of the propaganda from the commies with the NATO imperialistic countries etc). You know what propaganda can do to a person ;)

The times was right after WW2 :p
