Are you for real? The mods shifted most of Pistachio77 posts to Off Topic. Guess why, mister Dice...

Any reason (other than scam) why you posted your "Hope everyone is doing well" message above 10 times or more onto PF?

Genealogy / Genetic difference between Poles and selected others. [83]


That's a ... how can I say this politely ... pretty f*cked-up view ...

Genealogy / Genetic difference between Poles and selected others. [83]


Genetically there's hardly any difference. Cultural difference? Send a German baby over to Poland to be raised by Polish parents and you'll get a little Pole. Send a Polish baby to Germany, and you'll end up with a little German. It's all about education and how kids are brought up. In the end there is no difference.

All superpowers behave(d) like that. They don't give a s**t about other nations.

I have to agree with that. All this talk about "key allies in eastern Europe" is just politics and as such, big BS.

UK, Ireland / Cheap calls to the UK from Poland [30]


That's interesting. Here in the US they have a rather bad reputation partly because it seems to be almost impossible to cancel the contract once you've signed up with them. The company must be doing a much better job in Europe.

History / WAS KATYŃ GENOCIDE? Polish officers were killed [237]


Sure, and the earth is flat. I give up - you're just too ignorant.

History / WAS KATYŃ GENOCIDE? Polish officers were killed [237]


Yes, a mass murder that was a war crime.

First of all, that you need to resort to insults once again shows that you have a severe lack of social and communication skills. If you want to be taken serious, I suggest that you change that behaviour. Second, it was your definition, or your personal interpretation of the definition of genocide respectively. I just wanted to show how twisted your point of view is in this case.


Oh, all of a sudden all Volksliste I and II Silesians are Polish and not German traitors anymore? How interesting. I will remember that.


Morel specifically targeted the ethnic Germans, there's no doubt about it.

I personally believe that Morel was a mass murderer by the way, and for the same reasons I believe - like quite a few others here - that Katyn was a mass murder and not a genocide. In the end it doesn't matter though because both were horrific crimes.

Sokrates

Quote Wikipedia:
"Zgoda Labour Camp:
... but the majority consisted of Silesians from I and II categorie Volksliste and Germans (these two groups encompassed almost all Silesians), with some Poles and at least 38 inmates of other nationalities; often entire German villages were deported to such concentration camps. According to the Polish Institute of National Remembrance, after the World War II, "almost the entire local population (of Upper Silesia) became legally suspect of the crime of treason against the Polish state" [1] . At least 1,855 lost their lives at the Zgoda camp from February until November 1945. ... The inmates were systematically maltreated and tortured."

"Sometimes children were sent to the camp along with parents. Prisoners were not accused of any crime, but were sent by decision of Security Authorities. Authorities tried to convince society that prisoners were only Germans and Nazi Activists.[4] It is estimated that close to 2,000 inmates died in the camp, while torture and abuse of prisoners were rampant"

So, not an "odd German", but mostly German. And not "primarily Polish civilians", but "some Poles" (according to the source). Inmates maltreated and tortured on purpose until the were dead.


He was an animal, yes, and according to your definition he must have commited genocide because he killed based on the ethnic group his victims came from. So why do you call it murder then? Only because Morel was Polish? Try to answer without resorting to insults, please.

Forgot to ask:
What did Salomon Morel commit? Murder or genocide?

History / WAS KATYŃ GENOCIDE? Polish officers were killed [237]


That's true. If you think about it, the mind boggles indeed.


Get used to it that there are plenty of people out there who do not share your distorted view of history, man! And stop behaving like a 10 year old brat.


Then the killing of a group of ten people would be genocide. That's nonsense, and you know it.

History / WAS KATYŃ GENOCIDE? Polish officers were killed [237]

We probably have to go with what the common understanding of a genocide is: something unspeakable like the Holocaust, Cambodia, Rwanda or Darfur with an extremely high number of civilian victims.

Quote Wikipedia:
"...any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such..."

You imply that the Soviets wanted to exterminate the Poles as a national group. Was that really their intent in Katyn?

History / WAS KATYŃ GENOCIDE? Polish officers were killed [237]

It was murder, but not genocide.

USA, Canada / Cigarettes reach nine dollars a pack in New York [82]


In theory... . I would love to see all those lobbyists of the food industry scream if someone would try. A longer shelf life and higher profits have always been more important than a few million people killed by trans fats for example.

USA, Canada / Cigarettes reach nine dollars a pack in New York [82]


Here in the US junk food is everywhere as you know. Just browse a random food aisle of your local Safeway: hydrogenated vegetable oils everywhere, trans fats, corn syrup, and so on. All the crap that makes you fat first and kills you later. You can't increase prices on all those products, as they are so widespread.

Polonia / Poland and France cultures are similar [112]


Who was the third one?


That Poland got attacked is not the country's fault, of course not.


You're telling me that the Polish communists after the war argued that the attack on Poland was the fault of the pre-war government? Do you have links? I never heard about that.

Polonia / Poland and France cultures are similar [112]


In what way? Do you feel better if you can say "not only the Germans occupied my country and killed my folk, but the Russians did, too?". The outcome is the same, no matter what. I don't get it, sorry.

Poland was defeated, destroyed, humiliated, whatever you want to call it. What does it matter by whom?
