Life / New Polish generation prefers black culture? [145]

I cant speak for Poland (havent been there too long).

But I can say that in general in America/Canada a lot of white people have been exposed to black culture and some of them enjoy it. The same is true for Poles over here.

We can say that part of black culture is rap maybe. When I grew up I listened only to rock/alternative (by choice) and christian songs (fed to me). Later I discovered metal and like it to this day.

Sometimes I got bored and have found some rap and/or hiphop songs.

Actually the two bands I have listened to (I dont know what to call them rapper group) have some interesting lyrics which mostly are true. So not all rap songs are "dumbing" down.

I will agree that is certainly possible that a lot of rap songs is maybe violence, going against society (oh some metal is this too), some rap songs speak badly of white people (if a white guy sang something bad about black guy he would get kicked off air, etc).

Genealogy / Polish nationality? Which of the following (if any) determine being Polish. [231]

So, you don't even have a Polish name, you're a halfbreed (with German blood - in Poland, the mother determines the bloodline, not the father) - you really don't have much going for you, do you?

Just because his name is Matt means hes not Polish? are you an idiot?

Where did you get this mother determines the bloodline stuff? Ive only heard Jewish people use that one.
Pretty sure "blood" comes from both parents.

Genealogy / Polish nationality? Which of the following (if any) determine being Polish. [231]

Irrelevant. There are thousands (millions?) of people who are 'Polish by blood' but not in the least bit Polish.

Oh come on thats ridiculuos.
My family is 100% Polish to early 19th century (afaik).
I live in Canada but the fact is im fricken Polish.
I speak and read it. I eat Polish food. etc.

If someone is 99%-100% Polish by blood they are Polish I dont care where the hell they live or what they do.
Even people who are 1/2 Polish have Polish blood. In that case I could say hes 50%Polish 50%German for example.

Genealogy / Polish nationality? Which of the following (if any) determine being Polish. [231]

I understand. Different societies have different ways of identifying where one is from.
I know in China it does not matter where you are in the world or what you do. You are Chinese.

In America its completely different because the population is not 'homogeneous'. Everyone comes from different parts.

Also in America they try to make you American in any way possible. I rarely here some call themselves
Polish-American.

But in Canada where I am multiculturalism is HUGE. People are proud of both being in Canada and their past.
I mostly identify myself as Polish/Canadian over here. I was born in Austria (when my parents went from Poland-Canada) but I got no passport/citizenship. So I dont consider myself Austrian.

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

I want to answer this too!

Its because the American/zionist Media are completely attacking the Muslims now.
They are busy with the oil quests / bombing innocent people / getting richer $$$.
Since all this stuff picked up after 9/11 the news wants us too pay attention to:
Iraq/Afghanistan/Iran/Libya/Egypt/etc/etc.

The largest wave of Poles that came to North America for example happened around the time
"communism" died afaik. So its been roughly two decades. Its rare to here it over now.

The only thing I see sometimes is people putting down "eastern Europe" as backwards. Poland has come a long way since then which has greatly improved peoples view of Poland.

Still a lot of Americans point their fingers at Russia even though the cold war is over.

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

Why? Historically it was German and by inhabitants it was German. I was there once and it is German through and through. I agree Danzig wasn't Polish neither historically, nor inhabitantwise Polish. What about that?

Gdansk was made a city of Poland before the Germans/Prussians had it. If youre gonna talk about 'the past' mention it all.
Maybe before there some Germanics living there but tribes move on. Once the slavs came in it was civilized by us.
Germanics came from the north/west. Slavs from the east. If you want look at the magyars who came from wayy east and settled in south/east europe. Everyone moves around.

You also mentiond Lwow. My grandma was born and raised there along with my grandpa (when it was part of Poland) They lived quite close to concentration camp during WWII. It was mostly Poles/Ukrainians/Jews living there.

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

I do find it amusing though, that most of these DEFEND NASZA POLSKA types can't actually speak Polish.

Thats an awful generalization. In fact its completely wrong. Most people who defend Poland do speak Polish.
Its fricken common sense.

The polish are always complaining about other cultures but don't like it when they taste their own medicine.

Pretty sure the same goes for many people of all countries. Why are you singling out Poles?

News / Jerusalem Post: Poland's good intentions [30]

Them zionists have always been a problem true.

Jews are always a problem for Poland. I hope the Polish government stands their ground and does not give in. Polish people are finally rebuilding, renovating their cities, only to have foreign Jews come in and try and steal it away. Does anyone think the EU laws are anti-Polish?

"Polskie ulice, żydowskie kamienice."

Its not just Poland. I mean they have been kicked out of all countries in Europe several times.
youtube.com/watch?v=3PyoXDnUKgM&feature=related

Lol and believe me its not because whites are racist. There were some damn good reasons to kick them out. And this is just Europe. Think of the rest of the world.

EU / Nato / UN / USA laws and interests are pro zionist. They want oil and power over everything.
This bull**** they talk about Iran is another nonsense.
Google "Iran Is Not the Problem". My favorite documentary Ive seen (even better than Defamation 2009 I could argue).

You know its funny recently Obama proposed a plan from pre1967 borders under the condition that Palestine should be demilitarized (the latter part of this deal is ridiculous). Then these zionists started calling Obama anti Israel. What a joke seriously? The fact is which ever US president ever gets elected he will be attacked/pressured by AIPAC, other lobbies and separately from influential people and corporations. So in essence it does not matter if you vote Republican (who support Israel like hell) or Democrat (who still support Israel).

Republicans last election had ~20% of Jews vote for them in the US.
These guys are the rich "elite" Jews. They are the ones who support Israel.
Democrats had 80% of Jews vote in the US.
These people are very split on the issue of Israel (there is a significant amount of Jews who oppose zionist state). However alot of them are brainwashed from early childhood (see Defamation 2009)

to think they everyone is their enemy. The majority also supports zionism.

News / Jerusalem Post: Poland's good intentions [30]

Your accusation of me being a modern nazi is despicable. So I will make an accusation of you too:
You are pro-zionist. Happy?

The nazis killed 3 million Poles at least. I have nothing to do with them and I do/would hate them.
Being anti-zionist is not anti-Semitic. Unless you are one of the idiots who think so.

There are good Jews and bad Jews just like every country.
And sadly there is only a few of them who publicly speak out against the genocide/apartheid state of Israel.
Noam Chomsky is an example of a good Jew. The guy has brains and lectures plus writes books on these very issues. Good book: "What we say Goes".

I have no problem with average Jew I have with a problem with the zionists.
I also have a problem with those in higher up positions (media, bank, etc) who use these means to brainwash average people in America, Europe, and even worldwide.

Life / How many Jewish people live in Poland? [145]

I doubt there are 50.000 Jewish people in Poland. This is a country antisemitic into its very bone marrow.

More like this country has 1000 years experience with these people. We perfectly know what they are up to ;)

Life / How many Jewish people live in Poland? [145]

Lol, this is just nonsense talk, talk from a person who doesn't know what he is talking about, why would a polish person hold a grudge agaisnt the jews.

Our 'favorite' guys at the ADL have this to say:

adl.org/presRele/ASInt_13/4726_13.htm

And most pretend to be Catholics.

If a person is a Jew (their family) or practices Judaism while pretending to practice Christianity they are called maranos. Since a lot of them were put under 'persecution' in the medieval times they were forced to at least look like Catholics on the outside. In their homes many would continue practicing Judaism though.

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

Here is what I found out long ago when I was in high school (lots of Poles and Ukrainians attended; it was Catholic hs).

When they talk I cant understand anything lol (unless its super slow motion).
Anything I said in Polish they would understand.

****** scary lol. They have spies among us! Just kidding :D

I found that Czech is a bit easier to understand, Ukrainian, even Slovakian(Slovenian maybe), Croatian and Serb. I also heard a Macedonian show (I think) and I understand most of it.

Now Russian takes me a while to understand. Its usually 'blah blah insert-similar-words-here blah blah".

Thats just me.

My mom knows like a bizillion languages she understands and speaks all of the slavic languages.

Ukrainian is perhaps the most beautiful sounding and most beautiful melodical language of all the slavic languages.

I think thats up to opinion. But if I see a lass talking in any slavic language or slavic accent English I think I am in heaven.

Life / How many Jewish people live in Poland? [145]

That is why when the Nazis came, most Poles, and I said most not all, just handed them over or turned them in.

Pure bs.

Polish Jews were the primary victims of the German Nazi-organized Holocaust. Throughout the German occupation of Poland, many Polish Gentiles risked their own lives - and the lives of their families - to rescue Jews from the Nazis. Grouped by nationality, Poles represent the biggest number of people who rescued Jews during the Holocaust.[1][2] To date, 6,135 Poles have been awarded the title of Righteous among the Nations by the State of Israel - more than any other nation.[1]

The Polish resistance alerted the world to the Holocaust, notably with the reports of Witold Pilecki and Jan Karski.

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

Is it true that
east Ukrainians speak Russian as main language
while the west Ukrainians speak Ukrainian?

I also heard that if a split happens in the nation.
The east is more pro-Russian
while the west wants independance and would never want to be part of Russia.
(Too bad the west Ukraine should just except that they are Polish :D)

Is this true or false (ignoring my pun at the end)?

Life / How many Jewish people live in Poland? [145]

For whatever reason, Jews are persecuted eventually just about everywhere they go.

Bull****. Thats what.

Where did you learn this crap anyway? Do you think Jews are innocent and only suffer from persecution by others?
Do you know that a good portion of Jews are treated well around the world.
Here in Canada they are like lords. Same thing in places in the US like New York.
Same thing in the stolen land, Palestine.

You say one negative thing you will get fined and imprisoned.

The Jews in Iran for example are not persecuted as well.

Why am I still where?

That was directed at Harry.
There is a quote right before that statement.

I highly doubt it will ever happen.
Poland needs to lay low more often (and try to avoid this nonsense).
1) Dont just go because it serves some peoples interests because of money.
2) Dont bow down to american/zionist leaders who want to cause even more conflict with muslim states.

History / WW2 - The other side. What USSR, also that the Polish government has made not to admit WW2 [45]

Of course Poland isnt innocent but it sure as hell is less guilty then some countries.
We took some of Lithuania, Czech sure.

But Bolshevik Russia is a whole other story.
The Russian people are good. I respect them.
But bastards like Trotsky, Lenin, Grigory Zinoviev, Yuri Andropov.

These were ALL JEWISH ATHEISTICAL 'Russians'. If you want I can give proof if you ask.
In their policies MILLIONS of slavs died. Russians, Ukrainians, Belurussians, Poles, etc.

Stalin was no better. He used your people (he was Georgian) and TENS OF MILLIONS of Russians, Ukrainians, Poles died.

The only reason Russia should pay respect to him is because he helped rally your people to beat the Nazis (In particular Germany and some Romanians who also were attacking Russia).

And the world is thankful.

Other than that he was a bastard. There is no other word to describe him.

I hope you at least realize what these 'people' did to your people also.

Why do you think slavic people have such a 'suspicion' of Jewish people? Its because of their leaders.

Speaking of WWII...

Those were very complicated times. Personally I wish Russia would have allied with Poland sooner then Germany. Russians used this time to mobilize while Germany was attacking the west.

Alot of hate would be gone today. Again though it was the people following leaders orders.

What are your opinions as a Russian when it comes to those Bolshevik 'leaders'?

PS Good chances this will be modded. Cant even tell the truth anymore these days.

Now that is interesting....I always thought Poles had only plans for Berlin....in a week or so...

Did those plans come true anytime soon? No.

Word are words man.

Even though the following is NOT true here is media take:

Mr Ahmedijad: We shall wipe Israel of the Map of Earth
America and Israel: Oh no he really means it. Prepares for war.

Again Mr A. didnt actually say that but you understand.

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

whether she can count on a benevolent position of Germany if as a result of forthcoming intrusion of the Polish armies into Czechoslovakia there will be a confrontation between Poland and the USSR?

Again did Poland follow through on these actions? No.
Poland only attacked her weaker members (just like Germany and Russia).

Still, I find it extremely hard to believe your assertion that nobody adores Stalin in the Federation.

Im sure there is some that do, some that dont.

My Grand-grandfather was a guard of the last Russian Tsar, by the way he was a half Polish, so what i can say...

I've never was a member of the communist party, and i hate that in 1st class there was portrait of Lenin in front of textbooks..

But was a good side of that time...no drugs, no desease, free education, appartments, good medicine, less crime....

Kinda sucks that those 'Russian' JEWS killed the royal family (not only that but they took his money.. he was considered one of the richest people on earth... a Jew taking money THATS SOMETHING NEW LOL).

In the time of the Bolsheviks definitely not a good side. People were starving to death (Holodomar, etc).

Later on perhaps Im not sure.

Remember that 'communism' in Russia, China, etc are not real communism.

I agree mostly with the remainder of your post but...

The Russians also exterminated Polish elite.
The Russians also took over Poland.

Well, yes but without Stalin the war would not had started.

Thats speculation. There is no proof of this.
Hitler wanted Gdansk/Danzig and probably at least western Poland (perhaps east Poland to finish it off).
