People vote with their feet - if there was such a bad conditions they would have left a long time before the XVIII century!
What about a reason of they immigrating to Poland in the first place? You seems to be bend on ridicule any good deeds in general.

There no such a thing as the Harry standard !

Such as a right to live in peace and prosper in contrast to the rest of Europe.
You Harry should know better then ridicule that safe heaven for no other reason that your own amusement.

attested by archeological cultures

As I have said before, archaeological cultures are one end of a maze but to connect them with ethnicity is a different kettle of fish, altogether.

For example, in the future, provided that most of the records would be destroyed, archaeologist could assume that Poland's territory was settled by Americans, because of extensive amount of buttons from jeans found here.

What I'm trying to convey, is that no archaeological findings alone can tell you ethnicity and all the intrinsic and complex connections of a identified archaeological culture.

I agree with above, however I think that current practise is wrong and prone to abuse.
I think that welfare system shouldn't be tampered by the state, but as you said, government should provide framework for private and voluntary insurance.

Lower tax would leave in hands of employee more money, at the same time any company worthy its name should calculate pay not only according to position of said employee within the firm but also into account should be taken such information about employee like - his/her martial status, number of offspring's, whatever his/her partner is employed - pay should be deducted based on such informations as well as usefulness of the worker for the company.

Such firm wouldn't be taxed as much as otherwise.

Current system is prone to abuse, because government play a role of the middleman, collecting taxes and designate where to spent them, practically politicians in the present system are not accountable, firms are able to defend themselves by legal or not so legal means, nowadays often it is corporation which money play a large part in elections.

Working man is often defenceless against such practises, firm can negotiation tax cuts, move its firm to a different country to lower cost of workforce and so on.

they never moved there from the outside it was Poles who moved in

Sure, and they have records of that stretching 600 years of more?
Secondly Ukrainian is a new nation born in a middle of XIX century and dividing in three distinctive groups with slightly different history and attitude.

Let's talk about MaƂoplolska Wschodnia if you want and your claim that Poles were minority there, if you want of-curse but it is off-topic!

anyone seriously postulating

Yeah? Do you claim to know what was going on at the time?

it was in the Ruthenian lands

It was Polish land!

but this was 7th century AD - after Germanic tribes moved west in masses

How do you know ?

BB
The maps and theories you present was around since 30', then Poland had theory about Poland being a centre from where Slavic tribes originated.
Do not believe in your theory too hard, just because you like it!

History / Life in Partitioned Poland (Specifically in the Prussian Partition) [118]

dismantled Polish state was high

Well, hard to imagine, but than it is quite possible that you are high.

On a side note I seem to be finding that the Austrian partition was the best for Poles.

Non of the country's which took part is partition was good for Poles.

Actually he's one of my biggest internet disappointments

better not to have expectations !

I think - that there is not the political will on any side of the spectrum in present-day PL to tackle key issues head on

Because there is powerful minority not interested in tackling key issue as long as they can wallow in their own mud.

Look again at that map MW...

What do you know about that map? I can make you another with different patterns and color splashes.
First there archaeological findings, which needs to be interpreted. Then various archaeological findings on said area - so called sites- are compared looking for similarities and possible links between them. There goes some more work and interpretations, finally, paper about findings plus interpretations is publish, there goes much discussion, papers are publish to and fro, and finally there is consensus about interpretation of findings, but there are always somebody or few

somebodys

are argue against current interpretation.
There are map made, elaborations on interpretations are written and so on - but it all means only that most of historians agree with a said interpretation, it is not by any account a holy writ or factual events from the past- its only how professionals thinks

it all looked like, especially when there no collaborations from witnesses or there no written records.

*Sorry BB that I winded you up yesterday but I'm fed up with your constant attempts to make Germans look whiter then a first snow!

They done what they done, let face it and move along, not linger and get back to it again and again in a futile attempt to make it look better for Germans!

Distinct districts outside of city jurisdiction where people are forced to live rather than choose to live,

Well, I wouldn't say forced. Jews of old liked to keep together for a reason, to keep a eye on each other,and to be under supervision of their elders.

the Nuremburg laws in Germany

Happened in Germany, you will not change that,

Germans had not been different than Poles in that regard....

I know that is what you try to convey here all along.
Point is that I find Germans quite nice and friendly as individuals.......they had been grover by criminals and soon to be criminals since 1871. Prussian government to bunch of immoral, stupid and foul as-holes, unfortunately they imposed they they sick mentality over all Germans !

see you off topic -night

Of course...blame the Jews.

Jews were an competition for towns people from the middle ages to pre-industrial time, is not question of prejudice is a fact.
Competition in production, trade and banking.

Is not a coincidence that Jews were banned and exiled from western European country's were a merchants had been organized and strong, hence they could pressurise monarchs to drive a competition away !

\whatever they presented a real danger to the interest of merchants or there was element of prejudice - no matter- in Poland Jews become a populous minority and clashed with Poles over economy.

Hey the topic is the Renaissance in Poland \!

I think the change in 1768 has something to do with the partitions?

Eh>?what partitions ?Change was due to the king who started to consolidating his kingdom, starting with legislation and economy.
Former ban from the city was a result of unfair competition in all the things the city's people did at the time to prosper.

The partitions three stages -1772, 1793, 1795.

I'm sure you know that there are Jews whose religion is not Judaism.So, what is your point again ?

hardly relevent when he links it to the holocaust though is it.

Well, when you consider that 90% of a nowadays Jews had one or more ancestors who had been at one time on another living in Poland, then I guess he has a point of a kind.

Dont want to pull you up,but you kinda prove my point.

Well, I don't want to pull you on that but at the time you had PM who had been Christian (of Jewish origin, I grant you that)Poland did not exist as a state, not for all long and eventful XIX century.

by the 30s they were even limited in how many of them were allowed to go to uni......

Well, by then USA university's practice of numerus clausus had been long established(1920-1950), while in Poland such practice started in 1937- practically two years, and every self-possessed do-goodies make a much out of it - much ado about nothing.

Im not going to lie,I know even "liberal" educated Poles who talk about jews in the language of Der Sturmmer

What language? You mean that every generalisation because directed against Jews is taboo?

I know it,and whats more plenty of jewish people know it.

Woo-ha! So what ? Poles do not write books full of lies about Jews.

of this peculiarly eastern European obsession with Jews

You mean Germany is part of Eastern Europe ? never mind, maybe because majority of the Europe Jewish population lived in Eastern Europe? While Western Europe had few Jews and because of that they are playing WE ARe so good game, phew!

As I said relation between Poles and Jews is complicated, as well as popular myths on both sides, as I said you know squat about all that.

Poland slammed the doors shut to jews in the 1930s

He talks about hundreds of years ago, and he got a point there....

What a steaming heap of BS

PolskiMoc is some kind of troll, I haven't determined yet what branch of troll kind he represents!

OK,in the 19th century a Jew was Britains Prime Minister.

Really and what was a Jewish population in Britain at the time, hundred thousand ?And, in Poland millions.

Think its pretty obvious why many of them distrust you guys from the bile that gets spouted on here and elsewhere.

See here, I don't give a squat about your opinion on the subject because obviously you don't know much about Jews-Poles relations !
