History / Are Poles grateful to the Russians for winning the war? [120]

The difference was that the Soviets weren't intent on ending Polish existence, or at the very least, didn't mean to do it by slaughtering them.

Both were intent on ending Polish existence but in different ways,would you like to die from cholera or flu ?dead is dead

USA, Canada / Do you speak English? Have you lived in America? New LOVE/HATE list......... [144]

Precisely why you, along with the majority of all other posters on here, know NOTHING about the USA.

first of all I know a lot about the U.S. - yet I have never claimed that I know all !
secondly I was talking about a US government's international policy, so your miserable post here is misleading BS and that is the reason I despise you - because you are sly !

Everyone can discus foreign policy of the US. You blind defense of said policy is disgusting.
Have a nice day fuzz.

UK, Ireland / Grateful Polish photographer stitches up his Welsh hosts [96]

Rather than poking fun at those people, he should get down on his knees and thank them.

oh please <..>roll eyes
is that British outrage in action ?

It's the smugness which really grates - that "our women aren't like this, so we're better than you" attitude.

Really, how about "hey you are not better, so off you go from your high horse"attitude?

Completely relevant. He took photos of the British at their worst, because he had an agenda.

Sure he had agenda Holmes - its called subject - every photographer have one.
Gee....sitting on the fence is putting a lot of pressure on your nuts.

I don't know why people can't accept that Poland's problems with alcohol aren't somehow "less bad" than Britain's. They may be noticed in different ways, but they can still be just as damaging. I don't know any English people with severe drink problems, yet I lost an uncle in Poland to alcohol. He didn't die of a "superior" form of alcoholism, that's for sure.

Yeah definitely a lot of pressure. What are you even talking about? Is that your memoirs?

I paint,

Hitler painted too.

I'm not suggesting they are terrible but they are nothing special - are they?

Have you seen all collection ?

Given the frequency I see them doing it, in five years I could have enough photos of men (and the occasional woman) pissing outside a primary school to have an exhibition.

What are you doing that often in a vicinity of primary school ?
n

I'm neither British nor a nationalist.

Yeah you are hypocrite,

Its not a big deal, only daily mail and Harry are out there to stirr shite, matching pair they are.....somebody make a picture

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

Nope. Just like westerners, for sure.

Ah , but I have never said that have I?
All I'm saying fuzz that so called communism wasn't a single issue which molded Polish mentality (or shaped) into something different from those of western Europe.

I know that you don't like me and vice-versa but for once pay attention.

Secondary points, you can skip them:

waiting on line for food every day

Actually it was only truth for the last 9 years or so.......it wasn't constant you know,line for food you can find after 1945 in Britain, Italy; as a matter of fact occupation oppression and all that you can find in Germany after war as well.

In all it is not an unique experience for Europe!

no right to vote

You have to vote !Only choices were narrowed ...

filtered TV and all other media for that matter

As if media were telling the truth now eh? enjoy your reality !

No it doesn't fuzz!
Because you said that experience of communism make Poles mentality different from western mentality (whatever that means). Well no it doesn't !

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

OK Ironside,

OK Teffle yes. communism had impact on Poles, however not to such degree as you and fuzz posts seems to imply. I would say that WWII was a biggest single experience for Poles, one which shaped Poles in a way that western nations cannot comprehend.

However, in the context of :western - eastern mentality; such simple observation made by fuzz has no use.

Guys, Teffle and fuzz, both of you belief in reason. I thought that there is more to that than simple atheism. I though that you are used to use your reason for everyday issues. Yet, there you are making such simple observation that any Johnny and Harry, rednecks full of Bible's nonsense could have made.

What use is your reason for ?

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

That's a question for Adnar, who made the claim and Fuzzy who disagreed with it.

No, that is a question for both of them.

Personally I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that there may be a quite different national psyche between those who have lived mostly under communism (like the 44+ mentioned) and those who have never known it.

You can suggest whatever you like but your suggestion is on a very high level of generalization - be specific, be learned. Do you believe in the age of reason?

Where is your reasoning then?
You make observation which seems to be explaining something but it doesn't; your observation doesn't even scratch surface of the problem.
I can do the same: horse - what horse is like everybody can see!

By the way define - national psyche and while you are on it pry tell in what way the national psyche of Poles changed under communism (or not).

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

Someone said that Polish mentality is more Western than Eastern,

Define western or easter mentality or both and then we can talk.

Ironside overreacted again by saying:

Fuzz is pretending to be such a knowledgeable dude, almost a guru.
Somebody used generalization,he answered with generalization of his own, one which doesn't explain anything.

How can you compare people in Poland with people in France for example ? - with know how!
If you don't know how then do not state your feelings or personal opinion as an objective truth.

uhmmm.....I.......well......cough........I think I like......said exactly what I wanted to say in the sentence before that. did you just not read that part? i think the example i listed is a pretty valid point..........eerrrr...........am I typing?

You think ? Don't make me laugh, your problem fuzz is that you don't think.

the majority of Poland's population right now grew up during communist times

gee ....really ...eh ....don't say ....my goodness how we could have overlooked ....err .....no......

and everyone over the age of about 44 has spent more years in communism than in a democratic society

I'm impressed you know your numbers fuzz....Sunday school was good for you......
Statements like that are there to impress, simple, elegant and yet cutting edge is there, that fuzz is somebody eh..
You forget to say whatever it was a quality time for them.

how can you compare a country full of people like that to people in western europe?

Again bulls eye, how can you compare a country to people eh?
Surely you cannot....you are so brilliant fuzz ...thank you .... one question though, do you have same issues with Europe ?

said exactly what I wanted to say in the sentence before that

So what exactly did you say fuzz ?

History / Poland Lithuania - current relations [124]

You do know that Muscovite weren't threat to Lithuania until the end of XV century?
Jogaila didn't choose Muscovites as an allies because they weren't Catholics. If Lithuania became an Orthodox country it wouldn't stop Teutonic order from attacking it. For Teutonic order both Orthodox and pagans looked as heathen.

Well, Moscow was always a thread to Lithuania. Moscow was a natural enemy of Lithuania. Moscow has seen itself like natural heir of all Rus lands.

Who called himself officially Grand Duke Of Lithuanian and the Greater Part of Rus ?
Maybe they were not imminent threat but they were threat nevertheless.

Well, Lithuania's Catholicism didn't stop Teutonic Order from almost strangling her, Polish knights did it!

with a nation that was overlord of an area three times the size of the kingdom of Poland at the time.

At the time it meant not that much as most of those areas were depopulated and underdeveloped - as they say without workforce and specialists it was only sand!

Unification with Muscovites. Poland did not had such option.

You should go for it, at least you wouldn't have that childish quarrels about some obscure language, you all would be speaking proper Russian and been a proud Russian.

No not peasants.

well, maybe not all but most of them .......

Seriously do you think that unification is/was standard procedure? think again, Moscow didn't even had conception of unification, they understood that J wants to be a subject of the GDM. There would be no Lithuania in no time. J knew about that, so there was no choice not really !

News / Should Poland leave the EU institution? [147]

Currently the EU is divided into three blocks.

Currently the EU have only one bloc - Germany and France, the rest is working on the fringes of EU. They are not organized at all.

Former Warsaw Pact countries are playing a role of neocolonies.

How did it weakened Poland?

have a guess - you are so intelligent

You're a retard and a troll.

I think we already established that you are the retard. As for being a troll you brag about being one openly.

what was common ground between Polish akingdom and Russia ?

Lithuania - they had an mortal enemy - Moscow. Actually Lithuania had enemies all around them.

Poland was standing on their way to Europe.

No, Lithuania was standing on their way.Poland was a potential ally.

This is terribly misguided hindsight. The Polish-Lithuanian alliance was a thing of beauty for the whole of the world to marvel at.

Frankly I don't care about the world esthetic's sensations, that union weakened Polish Kingdom. An alliance for a duration would suffice.
