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

I remember reading that Churchill considered the "Miracle of Vistula" one of the 20 most important events of the century. But to your point I would confidently state 5% or less of the USA population is aware of this event or even know Poland has ever defeated Russia in a War.

Russia had massive defence lines and supply depos near its border with Poland.

Interesting point

they had returned the favour many times already, before 1939. Besides Poland fought one on one not 2 or 3 against 1

It was technically 4 vs 1

Invasion of Poland

Germany, Russia, Slovakia & Prussia

Great post.

I am not patronizing anyone here,I am asking a simple question which it appears, cannot be answered.When are you Eastern Europeans going to step out of the shadow of 1939?

"Elder generations"

Poland was under Communist dominance only 24 years ago. My parents would not have immigrated with my sister & I, if this were not the case. The overwhelming majority of Poles on the globe were/are directly effected by WW2. Atleast 50+ years til this changes.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

My parents
- Learned the language
- Didn't reproduce
- Never sat on welfare

This is simply not the norm with current immigrants to Germany. I'll also go a step further and say my parents didn't try and force their social norms onto their new home, which is currently on going in Germany

German punishment is long term & on going. They are being over run by immigrants, forever altering their culture and heritage. The native children are spoon fed self hate and guilt. This is much worse than any financial or territorial punishment.

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]

Western Germans have the same stereotype for us as Eastern Germans. We were both occupied for 50 years. It makes sense

Clearly you haven't travelled very much in Germany.

How do you manage to be so contradictory and wrong in every thread

It's German engineering. Not Polish engineering, not Turkish engineering, not British engineering.

Genealogy / I am looking for an African guy in Krakow, I dated [73]

I can't take the OP seriously at all. you know a guy for 2 weeks and sleep with him?

Correction. She was impregnated after 2 weeks. Based on her actions, I'm fairly certain she slept with him the 1st or 2nd time they met. He spotted a sucker

UK, Ireland / And you wonder why there is Anti-Polish feeling in the UK [187]

No one wonders why a large group of immigrants would be viewed negatively. That's human nature. But the Pole looks at English society (London no longer native Brit) and says you should be grateful you are getting European immigrants.

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]

Having spent time in all three nations (Poland, Germany, Turkey) the Germans are justified in their "lofty standards". As someone that has spent 2 decades in California, I was left blown away after my first visit to Germany. The efficiency, organization, and logic was quite impressive.

Unfortunately for Germany, they are forced to bring in immigrants because of the large dying/retiring generation in the next 10+ years. They have no choice and do not have the liberty of slowly allowing workers in. On one hand this is the bed that Hitler made but on the other hand it is discouraging to see such a culturally impressive nation decline to the level of the immigrants it is bringing in.

Life / Does teetotalism even exist in Poland? [10]

I believe going from one extreme to the other isn't effective. Meaning going from frequent or massive drinking to complete soberness. But I understand the difficulty in "having just one".

Does teetotalism exist? Of course and it is increasing with the younger general and especially with more drugs available. My personal experience is that if you avoid alcohol completely, you will find yourself resenting those drinking or in general feeling out of place. Have you tried Non Alcoholic beer?

Having a hobby in mind: staying active with physical sports is great. I would recommend a web size such as 'MeetUp' to schedule hang outs

Love / Polish women: what do you think of Polish men? Physically unattractive? [180]

Are you guys really comparing Poland to other wealthier nations in terms of how much the men spend on their clothes, hair, makeup whatever? I can proudly say atleast Polish men are in great physical shape compared to the rest of the continent. Maybe if Western Europe didn't sit around while we were battling Germany/Russia AND then let us be occupied for 50 years, this wouldn't be the case.

Almost everything you guys mention is simply wealth, nothing else. This simplistic life style is why Polish women are treasured around the world.

Life / "You are 100 years behind Blacks" - this old Polish saying [29]

On the other hand, ALL Blacks do listen to rap, sag their pants to reveal their underwear, or constantly use curse words. Strangely, I know many Whites who do all these things.
And I know Blacks who are presidents, CEOs, teachers, researchers, etc.
I myself sometimes use bad words too, and I may enjoy some good rap music too.

Blacks are extremely stereotypical people. Cursed by their own culture. Most blacks have 2 choices: Accept black culture and turn into just another lazy, violent and ignorant individual OR go against black culture and be labeled an uncle tom/sell out. I recognize the difficult situation they are in but yet they continue to celebrate individuals like Jay Z and LeBron James as heroes.

Life / "You are 100 years behind Blacks" - this old Polish saying [29]

Nobody ever heard this saying

Give the thread a few days. Native Poles don't usually post til the weekday

Seriously, how much related are you to such people like Thomas Edison? Apart from your skin colour?

I don't listen to Rap, sag my pants to reveal my underwear or constantly use curse words. That's enough for me

[quote=FlaglessPole]What similarities do Spain/Italy share?
- Warm weather
- Vacation destination
- Jobless rate

All those aspects help fuel the perception. If Spain was cloudy and raining, the perception would also be different. If Poland had beaches with men laying around all day tanning.....perception would be different.
