History / Is There A Polish Foreign Legion? [35]

History / Battle of Grunwald 1410 The biggest medieval battle. Germans smashed. [174]

poles kicked the crap out of her neighbors for centuries. heavily outnumbered at times. no wonder that the russians(muscovites novgorod whatever) in its false claim to be king of the slavs wanted to wipe out polands history. clowns.

News / Dalai Lama says: "POLAND HAS RETAINED ITS SPIRIT" [77]

poland kicked the crap out of germans russians turks and swedes. for centuries upon centuries it is really amazing how poland repelled so many foes from 966- 1655 untill they finally ganged up. many called it treachery. and it is the reason poland was wiped from the map no country could take poland with fairness and with honour. it was only cowardice and weakness from frustrated foes that brought down poland.

History / Poland and Muslims (Tatars and others). [81]

poland had at one time during the commonwealth a very tolerant stance on religion. while zealouts and fools to the west(like right next store if you know who iam talking about) were burning and persecuting out of fear and superstition, poland had a very sensible and progressive political system that didnt succumb to the whims of the holy empire or of ignorant wimps that would wipe out thousands of people just so they can feel safer.

Genealogy / Why Polish aren't white?? [272]

the only thing ive noticed living in america, is that alot of americans who get their information from holocaust movies and ww II movies think that all polish are darker skinned jewish hebrew types.

Genealogy / Red Hair - recessive gene from Poland? [108]

yes your right. it was when prussia was a part of the polish commonwealth. the northern lands along with pomerania, livonia i think often changed hands. So prussia was polands at different times. And the scottish immigrants were there during atleast one of those times.very early sixteen hundreds

And actually after doing some research haha. its hard to remember being self educated.
there were scottish immigrants in zamosc which is properly polish and in the south eastern region. in the same time period late late 1500's early sixteen hundreds.

Genealogy / Red Hair - recessive gene from Poland? [108]

ive wondered that too, about some poles being red haired. There was scottish immigration to poland. i cant remember when exactly it was, but iam pretty sure it was during the commonwealth. poland had a high number of scottish immigrants. this could have something to do with it.

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

All the talk about germans teaching copernicus is absurd. He studied at Krakow university in Poland which is the oldest in central europe(that includes germany doesnt it? oh sorry i mean the holy roman empire) and second to only france i think in all of europe. The problem I think lies in the fact that poles and germans have been heavily mixed since the mongol invasions of 1241. When poles let german immigrants in.(does rome come to mind?)And probably before that even. The other problem is is that germans want to take from poland and not give back. Does Russia and Germany even teach the truth to their people? Have times really changed? Is Poland trying to make Important German people with Polish blood polish? i think not.

Historically Poland has always been uninterested in swallowing up everything they can.
