Love / Polish girls' attitude towards different kinds of sex [88]

Why polish girls? You are talking about a pron-actresses.

Am I alone in finding this thread somewhat coarse.

I find it coarse too, and disgusting given that OP is splashing his juices all over the keyboard yuck !!!!

USA, Canada / Where do most Polish-Americans identify on the political spectrum? [142]

It is unrealistic to assume that every immigrant from the former territory of Poland either considered themselves a Pole or had a lasting opinion about the political landscape.

But your argument only strengthens DeEs position, because these who declared at Ellis Island to be Polish and later consequently passed that onto their progeny must have been Poles then.

Delphian is just stirring the pot and laughing.

UK, Ireland / Polish Doctor in UK discriminiated and bullied against gets millions. [28]

Whether or not the woman

Well, if that would be a case here I sure they would bring it forward soon enough. Seems there are others factors in play than her professionalism.

Diverting from the thread topic a bit. The system of education in Poland should be bend to eradicate instances or culture of cheating at exams.

The problem is the most Poles seems to see nothing wrong with this.

boo and all those discussions here - you defend this or that just because he/it is Polish;all that looking down your nose being all haughty and impartial.

Now when the tables were turned on you - and there we go!

Even if that is only early stage of the case.

Why 'claim'? For me, delph describes realities better than many Poles who shroud themselves in a curious mystique without seeking to explain anything. Delph takes the bull by the horns and gets into the nitty gritty of things.

Well, exactly and he expect to be treated as an expert or at least an authority on the subject. Sometimes he overstep himself, for example politics are not his forte, and he is often flogging a death horse with his political preachings .

Personally I find some Pol-Ams and their sentiment to Poland or her culture charming. Most of them from those interested in Poland (not first generation in my experience though)are trying to share what they think could be good for Poland. They maybe wrong or right but they hold that sentiment probably out of respect for their ancestors and because history of Poland is history of strive for freedom,Polish cause ( pardon my French) is a noble cause.

No matter that nitty-gritty of everyday life in Poland nowadays are nothing to be cherished.

Certain Brits however take Poland as they come and they sentiment if any is connected with their every-day liefs which can be both rewording and frustrating.

Some clashes and misunderstanding between those groups are not a bad thing but some members are taking that to the extreme.
In my opinion it all come down to the characters of individuals in question.

I-S, just as I thought. Jealous is the wrong word. B

What word would you use then?

I reiterate for the umpteenth time, take people as you find them. I get on well with certain Polonia members as I don't discriminate. It's so easy for me not to do that and to strike chords. I just wonder how accurate some are with their political views and positions.

Yes, I should have said - certain Brits living in Poland.
I think claim is a good word to describe their standing on the issue.

Why would somebody be jealous of Pol-Ams? For what?

I couldn't get it myself than eureka - they think that they have claim on explaining Polish circumstances.
When you think about that ! They make an effort of making themselves at home, learning the language and customs, they come to this forum ready to share their hard earn wisdom only to be contradicted and mocked by some American upstarts who contradict them on every turn.

Who are they (Brits ask themselves )? They haven't even been to the country don't know the language and so on .....Chicky foreigners!
And the war started :)

How so?

there you go!

History / Was the holocaust by Germans in Poland the worse genocide in history? [210]

What kind of question is that ?
How would you compare one atrocity with another?
What would you look at ? numbers ? grimness of the crime?quality of the victims ? intentions of perpetrators ? what ?
OP you are simpleminded mac!

What the Christian world and especially Europe has done in the name of God is beyond words.

A fact that you you are talking rubbish in a nice way doesn't change the fact that you have an empty space between your eras !

Po polsku / Książka pani Wałęsowej? [15]

Z ta czerstwa geba to by sie bardziej nadawal do Kwadransu dla rolnikow.

Tak ? A potem się oburzacie (kobiety), ze faceci tylko lada buzie (albo co innego) lecą, Ha! I kto to ocenia po wyglądzie.?

ponadto bezustannie zarzuca wszystkim dookoła zdradę i chęć wyprzedawania kraju obcym mocarstwom. To prawdziwa obsesja prawicy, ocierająca się o granice paranoi!

Forma pewnie tak, dostosowana do odbiorcy. Natomiast treść - jak najbardziej. Jakim trzeba być ciołkiem by tego nie widzieć - ręce opadają.

History / What proportion of the Polish population collaborated with the Nazis? [125]

Nothing alters the fact the the Polish NSZ committed some appaling acts, so vile as to be beyond justification or explanation.

those issues needs to be examined by the independent and trusted historians !there no facts - just stipulations and accusations.

History / What proportion of the Polish population collaborated with the Nazis? [125]

but many certainly acted against the Jews on a locla level with few exceptions.

Use few instead of many and we will have an agreement....

Do it or be killed. Some choice.

That was a choice that many faced. Not to mention those who were risking the life of their families to help the Jews.

No. In and among their defending, the NSZ did many things that weren't defending anybody. Just atrocities.

Thats is a post factual judgment. The WWII was about atrocities more than about anything else, especially in Poland.

Typical anti-Jewish diatribe.

Well, If you are calling the truth - anti-Jewish diatribe? than I can only be sorry that seemingly an intelligent and educated person like yourself fall for the self-propelling myth that only Jews were the victims during WWII.

Few odd and atypical examples of the criminal behavior in Poland doesn't even deem the name of collaboration. Such individuals can be found in any given society including Jews. :)

As far as Poland's collaboration, it certainly was no better or worse than Hungary's or Romania's.

Certainly you are selling here nonsense. Romania and Hungary were Hitler's allies they collaborated with Germany officially on the state level.
Poland was fighting against Hitler from the first day till the end and paid for that terrible price - incomparable price.

I say that if you call collaboration few Polish people working for Germany than I must remind you that on a much grater scale the Jews had been collaborating with the Hitler's Germany.

n fact, Hitler's minions recruited in each of the occupied nations from among the more rabid Jew haters in their ranks, the most egregious being of course, Hungary under the collaborators Admiral Horthy and Szillasi, Romania under Antonescu

WWII was about much more then about Jews.
Definitely motivation behind joining an alliance with Hitler were various and weren't necessarily motivated by so called Jewish question .
