Genealogy / Von Straski, Polish surname? [22]

But the "von" is definitely indicating something german!

NO BB. It used to be. But there are plenty of Polish nobles families wchich got confirmation of their nobleness from prussian king ...

My friend is an example so i know what i`m talking ;)

Von is like ski in the end in polish names, and like de or de la in french.
It was sign of noblness. In 1795 Prussia took some polish lands, and some families wanted the confirmation of their noblness. In the view of prussian germanization politics ;) there were created some strange names like von straski etc.

The secend theory is that polish man " straski" wanted to be noblman, but he didn`t have the proof ( the "ski" is not enough) so he buy the title of baron or other.

I didn`t say that ski is/was reserved.

However, this is not exactly true indeed not exactly but mainly. There are people without ski etc. with noble roots, and also there are people with ski but they have nothing common with szlachta... But mainly ...;)

It could mean that but often it didn't. Probably a myth created by those who's names end with a -ski. :)

you are wrong, ski, icz is the end wchich show from where the family is, ( what village/ or town they posses)

Well, fair enough but if your assumption is correct then Poland must have had the highest percentage of nobles in the entire world. :)

Indeed Poland had the highest percentage of nobles in the entire world.;)

When in all Europe the common percentage of nobles in society was about 2% in Poland it was more than 10%. Therefore for foreigner nobles the aristocracy term is more apprpriate.

Polska szlachta was different than europeans aristocracy. when in france the king pay them and treated like slaves, in Poland rather we were talking that everzbody can be a king, so he is equel to us.

you don˛t understand the term, sometimes polish poor or normal nobles was richest than western aristocrat.

in polish language

noble + man who can prove his noblness + some papers and acts from kigs dukes etc.

aristocrat+ noblman who have lands like small european country like belgium, andorra, or netherlands, very rich

this 10% were rightful nobles equel to radziwils, potocki, aristocrats who had lands as big as England

Life / Why Aren't The Shops in Poland Open on Sundays? [82]

SEANUS

Today is national day. We celebrate the victory in 1920 also is the day of polish army, therefore the shops are closed. On the normal Sunday shops are open, although I almost never buy then. IMO when is national celebrating, shops should be closed. I don`t see anything wrong with that some people ( shops owner) want to go on the holidays, and their shops are closed for 2 weeks. I don`t see anything wrong with that shops owner don`t want to work in Sundays, their shops so they can. If you wanna boycot them, here you are, I won`t

In shops wchich are opened can work today only owner.

Seanus your argument with nukes is ****. You don`t respect people who want to relax on holidays and on Sunday and this is more important for them than your posibility of buying chips today. Their property and they can closed it for one day a week.

History / Polish civilization is older than English or French. Why do Poland follow them? [64]

o fak,

BB

coz that:
Architecture
Literature
well skilled army
administration
LAW

all of those civilisations had every of those aspects of civilisations so romans, greeks, egyptians were civilisated. there are more civlisations ofc. but i gave You only example

The tribes back then had architecture and law too...

The quality of architecture or law. Why we can talk for hours abot roamnian anfd greeks architecture but as far as druids architecture we will say : Stonehedge and they lived in forest. ( what is not a true)

Why we can talk for 6 months about roman law ( i had this subject on my university) but as far as druid law we will say : it was sth. like it.

Yes BB indeed. Civilisated doesn`t mean good, honest, just or fair. Civilisation don`t have positive or negative meaning. It is neutral.

Watch the Paulina Movie on yt. Romans are civlisated and Germans are barbarian although Germans are defending their land, and Romans are trying to conqeur and enslave them.

Did you know that skill of bridge building Romans learned from Slavs?

I didn˛t know and I don˛t belive until you show some examples of slav architecture older than roman

Or shall we just mention Polish `Sarmatism` as early seed of democracy in modern sense of the word.

This is true.

We have other definitions.

When you want to count architecture like roads as signs for civilization then you have to count Hitler's autobahns too.

Yes I count. Germany in 39 was civilisated country, maybe a bit mad but civilisated. ;)

The culture and civilisations stands oppose to the nature. When society appears, the first what people make is border beetwen them and nature. Walls, closed houses, wooden palisades. This show that culture and civilisation is a creation sth. new sth. what doesn`t have anything in common with nature. WE ARE NOT PART OF WILDLIFE. It doesn`t mean that is good, but this is CIVILISATION.

Vngary sound very similar to polish " Węgry"

Shellys

You've evidently never been to Italy or Greece

I probably know better Italy than Poland, and in Greece I have been several times.

But what`s your point?

that there are MANY beautiful women that hail from these countries

Yeah I agree. But, read my post once again. The point of my post is not beaty of european women but discimination, and my prefernces were only examples, of discrimination wchich is present in our life. Discrimination in positive meaning.

If You still don`t understand , You should exchange the word " italian " and put there blond.

The sense won`t change. ;)

Love / In Poland - guys opinion about brazilian girls [21]

There is a opinion that girls from South America are easy in this meaning that picture of brazilian girl kissing with several guys on the same party is quite normal.

BUT. I have never been in Brasilia so I don`t know.

I met one brazilian girl and she was quite cute, but not captivating.

History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

Danzig still stayed a german prosperous center of trade full of Germans under german law and speaking german (till 1945) that is!

maybe BB but in XvIII Those germans prefer to be part of Poland than go to Prussia.
Thi is the fact. Gdańsk/Danzing was the most loyal polis city, their citizens were loyal to Poland even after first partition when Prussia took the all cost. Only the "german" city stay polish ;)
