History / Russians 'tortured to death' in Polish camps? [58]

How many of them Russians raised for Germans in Stalingrad?

German soldiers in Russia are mostly burried in graves built after the fall of the Soviet Union.
But this doesn't matter. Respecting the dead is one of the core values of our societies. If we don't respect this value we don't respect ourselves. And no one expects huge monuments, but a humble plague commemorating the death is hardly to much to ask.

Soldiers who raped, tortured, murdered and burned down entire towns?

And you think other soldiers in other countries didn't rape, murder and burned down towns? And they didn't want to destroy other countries?

Sorry to tell you this, but forgiveness is a major virtue of the Christian faith. Without forgiveness the EU wouldn't exist. The founding nations back then replaced nationalistic affects with reason.

Kohl Mitterand

It was a lot more horrible given that Russians burned entire towns with people in them regularly.

So did the French and the Germans. Brûlez le Palatinat! Jeder Stos ein Franzos. 1.000.000 dead in just one battle. Leveled towns in France and Belgium. And this was not more horrible?

History / Russians 'tortured to death' in Polish camps? [58]

And you all wonder why Polandball exists...
See, you all didn't even understand the argument. It's not about them, it's about US! It's about how WE respect our OWN values. If we don't respect our core values we don't have a reason to complain about the wrongdoings of others.

The Western Europeans had all right to hate the Germans in 1945. But they did what instead? They didn't threat Germany like the pariah of nations but founded the European Community instead. Germany became a stable democracy, France and Germany are best friends now, there are no borders anymore.

Looks like some people in Poland, 60 years after the Schuman Declaration, still stuck in the 19th century and aren't ready for modern Europe.

History / Russians 'tortured to death' in Polish camps? [58]

Hahaha, don't make me laugh, you for sure ment decades!
English vs French that would been centuries...

No, centuries is right. Since the 17th century, when France devastated large parts of western and southern Germany.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ez%C3%A9chiel_du_Mas,_Comte_de_M%C3%A9lac

I firmly believe that every german who willingly served the 3rd Reich deserved death.

What would you do with Poles who willingly served Commie Poland? No death chamber of course, but shouldn't at least all civil rights be revoked? After all is was a oppressive regime too?!

History / Russians 'tortured to death' in Polish camps? [58]

I spoke to a French guy the other day and asked him what he thought about the Germans and although he rolled his eyes and said well "they're OK" he then later emphasized that there is no way the French people could ever forgive or forget what the Germans did

Oh wow, a single person.

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

Since when are you part of Europe????

You all don't understand. The Visegrad Group is the first step towards a new Panslavia, led by the center of the West, Poland, and supported by the other saviour of Europe, Serbia.

Or something like that... :D

Travel / NOT COMING TO KRAKOW- KEEP IT! [30]

Fro some reason Prague and Vienna have a similar "look and feel" in my mind, I’m not sure why...

Maybe because they were part of the same country for many centuries???

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

You better ask yourself, why would Poland strengthen its position within its own domain (Visegrad Group/Balkan-Baltic line) and think of leaving NATO pact.

LOL, you think Poland will leave NATO because of a multinational brigade??? Haha. This Visegrad group will just be another military unit inside NATO, like Eurocorps, the Franco-German Brigade, the Multinational Corps Northeast, the German/Dutch Corps, the European Air Transport Command, the EU Battlegroup and so on.

Life / IS Poland in danger of becoming the next multi cultural sink hole? [201]

just to straighten the record, you're talking about the future (which is never certain), grubas is writing in the present tense, so you are quoting his post but not responding to it :)

But he's right nevertheless. Poland is in the EU, and with economic success the country will become multicultural (again). Assuming that Poland stays in the EU and becomes economically successful it's irreversible. The same happns everywhere in Europe.

And multiculturalism has quite a few advantages too... better restaurants and a improving local cuisine for instance... :D

Travel / NOT COMING TO KRAKOW- KEEP IT! [30]

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Central Europe, Krakow is maybe number 19.

Be nice, it's probably more like 10... ;)
A great castle, a beautiful market and two important churches.... that's quite a lot in Central Europe.

History / 'Defamation': The Anti-Semism Industry & Poland [188]

These arguments are uncannily the same to the ones used by the namiotists. Scary.

Yes. And it's also quite funny that the complexes of Jews are discussed in a forum full of complexes. Just look what the forum offers as similar discussions: "ANTI-POLONISM IN EUROPE", "MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY"...

LOL

Travel / Driving to Poland from England - any tips? [264]

If you don't want to break a record and see it as a journey instead you can have a very nice road trip. There are lots of interesting sights close to the route which worth a stop, among them several world heritage sights. So, instead of bombing down the Autobahn add two overnight stays and enjoy a medieval town or a nice park.

If you need tips about interesting sights on your route just ask.

History / Poland and Orientalism [115]

The Germans came across a country that in many respects was more politically advanced than themselves, and used the argument post facto.

I doubt Germans ever felt that Poland was more advanced...

History / Poland and Orientalism [115]

Well far be it for me to try to explain German arrogance and convenient amnesia, but I doubt that if the Germans have ever heard of the 3 May Constitution.

Who cared about that? In the eyes of the Germans Poland was an underdeveloped agrarian country with a small, decadent upper class whose self-interest was directed against the greater good of the country. Poland had almost no civic middle class, the base of modern societies. Before the Polish partitions Poland had 2 or 3 universities, Germany + Austria more than 40. The social divide was immense.

History / Poland and Orientalism [115]

As far as central Europe is concerned, it was Poland who most closely embodied enlightenment philosophy in the practice of governance. Stanislw August Poniatowski, was arguably the most enlightened monarch of his time.

An enlightened monarch doesn't equal an enlightened society. The scientific revolution of the enlightenment happened mostly in the educated circles of France, England and Germany, countries with strong civic middle classes and educational institutions. Having a constitution based on ideas of the enlightenment is nice, but this constitution did little to improve the situation of the people by implementing ideas of the enlightenment. The alleged backward neighbours Prussia and Austria abolished serfdom, while the Polish constitution just acknowledged the rights of serfs. Prussia and Austria also introduced compulsory schooling at the same time.

News / Row over status of Poles in Germany sours relations [176]

Hmm,... Beethoven, Kant, Abbe, Hertz, Goethe, Hegel, Leibniz, Gutenberg, Bach, Cranach, Duerer, Kepler, Stoss, Agricola, Benz, Diesel... the world would be a pretty boring place without such insane, evil scumbags.

And more than 2 mio Poles are actually quite happy to live in Scumbagland, otherwise they would return to Polska.

History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]

As for Lwów and Podole it is our land being part of the Crown since the middle-ages and not amount of Ukrainians living there will ever change that.

Maybe you didn't notice it, but the Crown doesn't exist anymore, and the Middle Ages are long gone too.
Pandoras box shouldn't be opened, otherwise some Germans could remember that some Polish towns aren't Polish either...

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]

Western and mediteranean women are way stronger than slavic ones especially germanic women who are very cold blooded.Slavic women notice that here that mediteranean women have a thicker skin(of course it makes them less feminine and attractive as well).

I love such generalisations. My russian girlsfriend, and most of her friends, are pretty strong. They must be, since growing up in such a mess like Russia needs a strong will. The same is true for all women in slavic countries, since all these societies changed very much in the last 20 years. Compared to Slavic women women in western, stable countries get pampered.

The only difference I notice is that Slavic women prefer a more traditional role in a relationship, since their societies are much more traditional too. But even here I see a big difference between, lets say, Czech and Russian women.

History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]

Its true though, what cities, works of art, music or achievements of science did Ukraine have? None. All that was built, developed or achieved in Ukraine was done by Poles and Russians.

From the perspective of an Italian, French or German the same can be said about Poland.

History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]

Ahh. But you are of course absolutely objective and not anti-Ukrainian at all... :D
Just because you don't know the cultural achievements of the Ukraine it doesn't mean they don't exist. And for someone from Western Europe Polands cultural achievements are equally unknown and therefore considered equally sparse.

Only by ignorant fools not unlike yourself!

I see, but it's absolutely OK to say Ukrainians don't have their own culture, and what they have was teached by Poles. OK. :D
