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

Canada? No way. They are begining to see what is happening to their country due to liberalism. For that I am glad.. they deserve each other

I am beginning to see what? I like (and hate) Canada and would never dream to live in the USA. I will admit I am more left wing than right wing but I do respect some of the more right winged views.

One thing that USA has is freedom of speech. Here anyone says something bad and gets arrested :|

sounds like a nazi to me.

I love how these days everyone is pointing out nazi at anyone who disagrees with them about things like multiculturism. It does not make any sense. These views were around long before the nazis existed.

The funny thing is in certain parts of london most white people in the streets are Polish with the odd cockney accent to be heard. In the area I live, I swear half the white men are polish. So you can't be one to speak

From the last posts I dont see Polish people having problems with other white countries (England, France,etc). They are complaining about colored folks who in some cases do bring more bad than good to a country.

don't exhaust yourself, eh?

A Canadian, eh?

------

I will state it once and state it again: there is nothing majorly wrong with having a homogeneous nation (see Japan).

Also someone mentioned that the colored people "breed like dogs" or something. The problem is white people. We arent producing enough babies. We prefer luxury and pets over reproduction.

OPINIONS OPINIONS.

Personally I think its okay for North America to be a mix and I think Europe should stay white.
I would argue that here in North America people are more xenophobic than in Poland or some other European countries.
Simple there is 350 million people here. Just because you see colored folks living everywhere doesnt mean the people are more tolerant. America has millions and millions of racists.

Everyone is always speaking of Western Europe, America, etc.
Japan is doing just fine as a homogeneous country. In fact they are probably ahead of the "great" USA when it comes to development.

Guys this is the 21st century... not 1864. This is the new normal... any other thing else is abnormal. Get used to it. Get used to having blacks and and Asians living next door, if you dont... your country will be the new definition of 3rd world.

hahah. that gave me a good laugh. poland is modernizing very quickly. its far from a 3rd world country (at least in the cities).

Well if you look at the population of New York and then New York City there is 1-2 million Jews there now.
Second highest population after Tel Aviv.
Maybe this huge influx of the above people has something to do with this.

Keep in mind USA has ~60 million people of German(ic) ancestory. Only 10 million of Polish. And 6.5 million of Jews. And who has the most power from them (should be easy to answer).

Feedback / Why PolishForums? Give us your stories! [60]

Well the reason I am here is because I love Poland and the Polish people.
I live in Canada, was born in Austria, but my family is 100% Polish.

More specifically it is hard for me to communicate with Polish people on the Internet
because I can only speak and read Polish but I cannot write in Polish (its extremely hard to learn for me especially since I am not a child anymore).

This forum uses the English language (which I am more familiar with) and this makes it an awesome place :)

I think the reason why Europe (particulary western Europe) is "corrupted" is because of the following two reasons:
1) American foreign policy, their lobby groups, government, corporations, etc.
2) A particular set of people who are zionists. They have been living in Europe for thousands of years.
They dont do manual labor but tend to be in Politics, Business, Lawyers, etc. They basically run the show together with some WASP.

News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]

Ive only read the first few posts here (might read later).

But I understand what the topic creator is saying.

Personally I live in Canada where things are quite multicultural.
Having lived the majority of my life here I have grown accustomed to the diversity and I have no problems with the majority of "visible minorities". But there definetly are exceptions.

The terms racism, anti-semitism, anti-homophobic, etc, etc are so often seen it makes me uneasy.
Now for the most part I am not racist but here if you say black people like fried chicken its racist.
I mean I am no expert in those type of 'phrases' but thats kind of ridiculous. You CANT open your mouth or you can be sent straight to jail or pay fines. God I cant even imagine whats it is like in the USA.

Being born in Europe though I really think that Europe should keep white. The things that are happening in Great Britain, France and somewhat Germany are 'frightening'.

Majority of Africa is black they should keep that way.
Majority of Asia is Chinese/Indian they should keep that way
Etc.

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]

but less than ½ of them were mobilized by 1 September....

exactly numbers.

The Polish Air Force lacked modern fighters,

exactly numbers again. considering we had planes which werent as modern we shot down a fair ratio vs the germans. sort of like monoplanes vs biplanes.

only 37 P-37 £oś bombers were modern and comparable to its German counterparts.

37 numbers agian.

only 140 tanks were produced between 1935 and the outbreak of the war.

numbers again AMAZING ISNT IT?!

It's not as if Germany was even making particularly unreasonable demands (the return of a 95% German city and an extraterritorial corridor across land which cut Germany in two).

the demands were ridiculuos. why should poland give its only access to the water (baltic sea) to a city which ORIGINALLY was Polish. Gdansk.

...

bunch of useless facts from wiki

none of which is 1939 (and what we are talking about in this topic).

Germany had a substantial numerical advantage over Poland and had developed a significant military prior to the conflict. en.wikipedia.org

this and the rest of the phrase about the Germans states exactly what I have said.
numbers were the number 1 reason Germany beat Poland.
and number 2 was planes.

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]

They never used Pz1 in the front.Panzer 3 had no match till the appearance of Sherman.Only the heavy French Renault had some equal aspects but was foolishly deployed.On the other hand the Soviets possessed wuite capable tanks like the T-34 which was actually superior to any German tank in 1942.

again I am talking about Sept 1939 only. the germans did not have high number of pzIIIs in the invasion.
their tanks were clunkers like the polish tanks as well. tigers and other high quality german tanks did not participate in the beginning.

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]

@BB

From the allies yes the Polish pilots were one of the best if not the best. Poland had one of the best fighter training schools in europe (I forget the name). Consider the fact that Germans had better planes and more planes on invasion day. Yet Poland with her planes managed to have close to 1:1 ratio in planes downed.

Now fast forward to the Battle of Britain. Poland used better technology of the Brits and we raped the Luftwaffe in many cases.

As far as technology is concerned I am strickly speaking of the late 1930s.
Much of Polands equipment was bought and upgraded from other countries thats why there is little mention of it.

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]

Germans had a crucial advantage only in tank technology.In this regard they were 2-3 years in front of the allies.

wrong. as I stated they were using PZI and PZII for the most part in the early part of the war.
The Polish 7TP tank was better than a PZII and worst than a PZIII.

The problem wasnt the quality but quantity. We didnt produce enough tanks to counter the Germans in time.

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]

Polish fighter pilots scored many air victories over more modern German aircrafts including in fighter to fighter encounters between P-11c and Me-109 (the lowest estimate of the planes downed by the Polish fighters in 1939 was 126)

i agree. in fact imo Poland had the best fighter pilots in WWII.
we did quite well considering our planes didnt have the huge numbers.

No they werent, if France and England actually did attack Germany would roll over in 2-4 months in 1939.

I agree that France+England+Poland would beat Germany. How long I dont know. But some uninformed people would not believe us.

German never led in technology, thats a myth manufactured by the West to justify why western soldiers sucked so horribly when compared to Germans, the myth is also upheld by todays Germany for national pride reasons.

Germany had exactly the same level of technology everyone else had, where it differed was the training of its troops and the quality of its commanders.

I agree the stuff is quite exaggerated at how powerful and advanced they were.
They had most technology that was on par with the rest of Europe.
The problem was German numbers (and then soviet numbers) and thats why Poland lost in the Battle/Invasion of Poland.

The quality of their commanders is a lie also. The Lightning war wasnt that smart (assuming you believe in it... its just common sense). The soldiers training was about the same as other European soldiers.

Life / Positive things which make a Pole stand out positively in the World! [30]

Interesting topic.

What you stated seems true (here in Canada and probably in the States too).

Polish girls are beautiful and loved by people all over the world (I would guess per capita Poland is above average in this area).

Also when it comes to food Perogi, Pickles, Ponczki are liked I think.

Poles on average are more willing to work than many people I realized (the dirty work like construction, electricians, etc)

And Poles have one of the highest IQs in Europe from some tests Ive seen.

History / Are Polish territories natively German? [73]

Im going to have to agree with Des Essientes on this.

Although just to keep the discussion going...

Many different 'races' have walked in Europe. The majority of us are Proto Indo-European anyway which is why I dont like this argument.

Example 1:

euratlas.net/history/europe/1/index.html

You have the Vandali in that 'argument' area of land.
Some Vandali tribes were Germanic and some were also Slavic.
In this time period most of the land around there was simply called Germania but like I said both Germanic and Slavic people were in the area. Slightly east you had the Sarmatians.

The same is true for the Veneti tribes (also just east of the location).

Example 2:

euratlas.net/history/europe/900/index.html

A good portion of Germanic land was Slavic (including the Sorbs).
If you want to play the Germanic=German game, then Western Slavic=Polish.

Example 3:

euratlas.net/history/europe/1000/index.html

By this time Poland is a "country". Nearby you have the HRE (which I personally would not call a country). Here in some of the disputed land you have the Obotrites, Veleti, etc which were mostly slavic.

Then you have Pomerania (one major city Szczecin/Stettin). Ah yes the place that Germans and Poles love to argue about. Well infact Pomerania held Germanic people, and slavic people (the Kushubian), and others. The fact is neither country had claim to this land (Germany who didnt actually exist and Poland who did not have full influence of the area). Afaik the cities origin is ~700/800AD.

Sorry to spoil everyones argument but I believe the country which first held Szczecin for a significant time was Denmark. See map of Europe in 1100 and 1200 for changes. And of course Poland and the states of the HRE (not Germany) fought for it many times.

;) Danzig was built by the Germanic tribes. If it was built by the Poles, they would have managed to create a decent fleet able to defend it. As of 16th century you still swam on rafts.

Please read my above post. Gdansk/Danzig area was inhabited by many peoples. We can go back thousands of years and its pointless. Poland actually made Gdansk into a real city before the Germans did.

In 980, Duke Mieszko I of Poland dedicated a fortress built in the region. The official year of foundation of Gdańsk (Gyddanyzc) was 997

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]

We are not talking about the mighty Tiger and Panther tanks here , they were mostly light tanks , and the Polish anti tank guns were quite capable of knocking them out...

I am glad you know this.

The Germans werent invincible in 1939. In fact many countries including Poland, France, etc had technology that was on par with the Germans (except for maybe the Luftwaffe planes).

The Germans attacked Poland with mostly PzI and PzII tanks. Even the Polish 7TP could hold its on against those. The problem was numbers.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

Europe consists of 3 large family languages (slavic, germanic, and romantic).

Polish is a slavic language and thus is similar to many of the slavic countries. (yes it also has obvious differences).

The fact is that even countries inside Europe are more difficult to learn.

For example the Finno/Ulgric langauges are very rare in Europe. I would think languages like Hungarian and Finnish are thus probably more difficult to learn and/or master.

Like I said earlier I think East Ukraine loyalty is more towards Russia.
and West Ukraine (independant nation who might enjoy western countries more)

Well...maybe it will end in a split some day, is with ex-Czechoslovakia?

Personally I like larger countries. I think even today Czechoslovakia should be one.
I also think Yugoslavia should be one. But they were destroyed partly by themselves and partly by Americans (refering to Yugoslavia)

I agree. The white race birthrates are lowest ever in recent history. The worst suffering nations of this are the slavic people. Russia will lose 35-40 million by 2050, Poland 5 million, Ukraine will have population lower than Poland 2050.

News / Poland A and Ukraine B. Compare how far Poland has advanced. [282]

Here is my explanation:

1)Poland is more united as a country (although not greatly).
West Ukrainian has mostly Ukrainians speaking and they are more patriotic to the nation of Ukraine.
East Ukrainian has mostly Russian speaking people. Many of which want to rejoin with Russia.

2)Ukrainian is further east away from the heart of europe (central europe).

3)Definitely the Holodomar played influence. I think its sad that every american knows what the Holocaust is (through american/zionist media propaganda) while very little people in the western world know what the Holodomar is.

Here in Canada they had memorals for holocaust victims. There is 1,000,000 Polish people here and 400,000 Jewish people. The whole memorials didnt say a world about Polish victims.

All they did was mentioned 6 million Jewish deaths without counting millions of others.
Sadly slavic people (Russian, Polish, Ukrainian) people are still sometimes looked down on in the US and Canada. The guys in charge are 1)WASP 2)Jewish and sometimes 3) German, slavics are 'lesser'.

History / Poland paid off American Jewry in 1960 [162]

I just wanted to say there is lots of good Jewish people and of course lots of bad ones.
I am not sure on this but the majority of Jewish people are probably zionists. I personally am 100% against the state of Israel and the actions they take on nearby people. In many senses they are similar to Nazi Germany on a smaller scale. At the same time there is differences.

In my opinion (especially here in North America) Muslims are portrayed as bad people way to much.
The amount of people that think Iran is evil is huge. And its said.

The fact is Israel has nuclear weapons. Iran wants nuclear power for other reasons (there is no proof and also they do not have the capability to make nukes). You know what even if Iran does make nukes good for them. If Israel has nukes why shouldnt one of their biggest enemies?

One of the main reasons America supports Israel is because America itself has about the same much Jews as that of Israel. The fact is many of these Jewish people have power in America (AIPAC, AJC, guys from the media, judges, politicians, etc). This is no anti-semitic comment its just true.

As someone mentioned earlier the anti-semite accusation is losing weight.
Real anti-semites deny holocaust, would kill Jews, etc.
However nowadays people who make sometimes generalizations about Jews are labelled this term as well even though they are not anti-semites.

at every occasion . Soon , you will not be able to mention a word " Jew" or " Israel" because they will find you antisemite , lol.

exactly. some extra points I would add:

1)some Jews (not all) already think that anti-zionist=anti-semitic (which is absolutely wrong).
2)for the majority of countries the term racist is used but the chosen ones have to make themselves unique with the term anti-semite
3)Palestinians are also semite and the israel army kills them daily.

Germany, the Czech republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belorus, Lithuania and Russian Federation.

Well I live in Canada and havent been to Poland in over 15 years but here are my opinions.

Germany: I think Polands relationship with Germany is on fairly good terms
Czech and Slovakia: Czechs and Slovaks I cant really say. They are very similar to us in some matters.
Ukraine: I dont have anything bad to say about Ukraine really. East Ukraine is mostly Russian speaking and some of them wouldnt mind rejoining Russia. West Ukraine is mostly Ukraine speaking. They are quite nationalistic.

Belarus: I am not sure.
Lithuania: I personally have no problems with them.
Russia: is a VERY complex situation. Either Poland has to have aid from the west or from Russians or mix it somehow -_-

Why do you think America sends BILLIONS of dollars to Israel and pretends to supply them for "Defensive purposes". Its just a big lie.
