History / Pomerania -a Polish land since the creation of Poland and the German invaders. [60]

Nope.Majority of Silesian borders is in Poland.

No, Greater Moravia was the first COUNTRY to own Silesia, followed by Bohemia, and as you said, that's all what counts. So, get out of Silesia, it's rightfully Czech.

Almost everything Italian?
Are you drunk lol?

I spoke about Europe as a whole. France, Spain, Portugal, England... all Italian.

History / Polabia back to Slavs? [113]

The Sorbs wanted to be part of CzechSlovakia after WW2.
But, Germans made propaganda against that & swayed them to stay.

Yes, sure. Germany at the end of WW2 couldn't do anything.
The Czechs created a Sorbian organization with some Sorbs who fled to Prague to propagate the annexation of Lusatia, but the Domowina (Google it if you don't know them) was against it.

Keep in mind that Gdańsk was in Polish hands longer then German (Prussian) you can find dates here in PF. And then Germans claims Gdańsk as a German city because of German population there.

And? Pomeranians weren't Poles, they actually fought against them and were later Germanized.

News / Wal-Mart coming to Poland? [146]

Poland will love Wal Mart, especially if they can get in on those super low prices. Wal Mart is great for a place that doesn't have a lot of extra cash.

Europe already has Aldi, Lidl, Netto, Penny and so on. When Wal-Mart started in Europe they weren't cheaper than the more expensive Europans markets.

News / Wal-Mart coming to Poland? [146]

What happened in Germany?

They were already running campaigns of a shopping revolution before they entered the market, but their markets weren't anything special to German consumers, and many Germans found the "American shopping experience" very awkward... employees who wished a good day or packed the bought products just smelled like fake friendliness and cheap labor to them. Wal-Mart moreover had a bad press since their guidelines (personal relations between employees) violated German law.

After the desaster in Germany they would probably fail in Poland too. AFAIK they are only successful in GB, everywere else in Europe they are irrelevant.

Polonia / Löcknitz: Polish Lifeline for an Ailing German Town [3]

In a surprising twist of the Polish-German relationship, which for centuries had been dominated by war, conquest and ethnic cleansing, some Poles have now come to settle among their less-well-off German neighbors.

Actually Poles settled for centuries in Germany, and German settled for centuries in Poland.
And this part of Germany is the traditional hinterland of Szczecin. That's also the reason why this German region is so poor.

History / So called "inconvenient parts" of Polish history - what do you think? [156]

Ad Polish antisemitism just one example: The official Ausschwitz tour - I twice took a private guide - takes roughly more than one hour and mentiones jewish victims in just one sentence!!! Instead the guide will keep elaborating about the great suffering of the Poles - it is simply disgusting.

I think that's the main reason for todays Polish Anti-Semitism. Poles and Jews are in a victim competition. Both share the same self-image as the biggest victims, and both can't forgive the other side which claims to be the bigger victim.

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

LOL, you use your own prejudices against Germans, i.e. Germans alleghed thinking of Poles as "Untermenschen", as an excuse to your own lack of culture. Yes, lack of culture, because the willful ignoring of the culture of Silesia is a lack of culture. The guy who gave the money to build the school you attended or to create a park you enjoy deserves that he is mentioned somewhere.

And please, this victim complex gets tiring. Comparing Nazi ideology with todays prejudices against Poles is laughable. I can read all kinds of deprecatory remarks against Ukrainians and Jews here, and all this crap about Slavic superiority. I suppose Ukrainians are Untermenschen for Poles, or not?

You compare a culture that was neither a high culture nor existed in the modern era with a high culture that ended in '45? LOL.
But drive to Berlin, on the left side you see a fully reconstructed Slavic wooden castle. Since this culture existed only until the Middle Ages there isn't much to preserve except for a few archaeological sites.

And that's why the most precious baroque graveyard of Silesia in your hometown Jelenia Gora was destroyed in the 60s or 70s? Yes, on a bureaucratic level this makes sense.

So, the people of Poznan weren't Poles either between 1793 and 1918 but Germans?

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

Oh, and by the way - there's at least third generation of POLES growing up in Silesia.

... and theys still don't name roads, town squares and schools after non-Polish Silesians, and they still don't form local associations to preserve their local non-Polish heritage, and they still don't maintain their non-Polish cemeteries... Silesia is a place without Silesians.

News / Germany provoke Poland using Silesian question. Poland's attitude ? [124]

What can you make out of the name Spirro, one of early settler family there, living in Silesia to this day?

Actually not everyone went to Silesia, it were mostly Slavs and later Germans. Todays Silesians are just unique because they live in the region were Pole, Czech and German culture met. This small region was Slavic, became Polonized, then Germanized, then Polonized again, then Czechified (during the Hussite era), Germanized and Polonized at the same time... it is a huge historic mess, lol. And todays Silesians are the result.

And this also means that everyone who was shaped by the complicated history of Silesia is a Silesian. Everyone who accepts Silesia as it is, with the Polish, German, Bohemian, Austrian and Prussian past, is a Silesian. And that's why todays Silesians are so unique. Unlike most other inhabitants of modern Silesia they accept every part of Silesia, not some selective fragments. This makes them truly Silesian, while the others are just people living in Silesia.

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

At the current state of matters the answer is simple: JUDENS

Every single attack in US TV can be traced back to it Jewish writers/founders/creators/executive producers etc.

Latest example?

Two and a half men show. Created and produced by Chuck Lorre or better known by Chuck Levy.

But they drink Wernesgruener in the show, a German beer. It must be a German-Jewish conspiracy... uhh, wait. :D

There are rumors that Germany using Silasian question to work against Poland. If that is correct, i ask- what is the stance of Poland? How would Polish politics respond?

Only full scale war with Polands strongest ally, Serbia, can be the answer... :D

Who is she ? You can publish a book even under a nick name . She is just another jewish xenophobe .

LOL, but you realise that the Xenophobe guides make fun of almost every nation? Reactions like yours just show why the Polish jokes exist. Don't take yourself so seriously.

Language / Why when spelling Polish names abroad, Polish letters are ignored? [68]

Poles polonize only names which are:

senat.gov.pl/k5/kom/kksp/2002/014ksp.htm

Here you have a nice example of a new Polonization. The house of Schaffgotsch, a German noble family from Silesia, becomes "Szawgocz". In a official document of the Polish senat. I don't think there is a long record of a Plonized spelling, since these nobles were unimportant to Poland... until 1945.

News / Visegrad Battle Group under the command of Poland [261]

Would be nice to see visegrad 4 develop not only into military and security alliance, but maybe also an independant union or commonwealth allow free trade and free travel for citizens... I think this would benefit all countries involved and free them from economic dependance on EU and NATO. This should also be an economic partnershp is what i'm trying to say.

What? These countries already enjoy free trade and travel?!

Life / Are Polish roads really this bad? [237]

And who bombed the roads to bits...?

You mean, otherwise we would drive on 80yo roads today???

Back to topic: the roads aren't that bad. Polands biggest problem is the lack of highways, which makes long distance drives a torture, especially because of reckless driving.
