Life / Famous Polish people (that we have actually heard of) [224]

Famous polish sociologist Florian Znaniecki, famous polish anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski, 1st polish sociologist from 19th century Ludwik Gumplowicz ( from jewish secular family with polish uprising traditions )

These people are famous in sociological and social circle, everybody who study these subjects around the world know them. They aren't so visible for ordinary people like Coca Cola , Freud, Marx or BMW but for scientists they are easy to recognize.

Life / Famous Polish people (that we have actually heard of) [224]

what about this one Zbigniew Rybczyński

Somebody just mention recently about which one person is famous or not. When we have to try to describe someone worth to be placed on the canon of people what we should call"famous"or not is very pejorative and tricky. The hole problem from my perspective is trying to describe some Eastern European's folks who can get their way in anglo-saxon culture and then would be visible for the whole World nation ( read anglo-saxon rulers )

Life / I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]


Agree completely I hate that ex communist rules and so good few hundred thousands poles in UK and Ireland. Until that will change there is no way to come back to Russian imposed past Orwell economy and culture. This Poland is not that one what we are looking for ( before ’39 )

theory


assumption based on theory


theoryEverybody can make similar or completely opposite theories about above problem.

Ps where did you get that theory from? I mean about Byzantine influence?
Feliks Koneczny once wrote some similar theories
What about Mongol influence on Russia and communism's bureaucracy ? that theory could cover an explanation of crappy office behavior in Poland very nicely as well.

Sorry I am after night out so my brain doesn't work properly in English :)

Yes any bureaucracy primarily serve itself and have tendency to modification to achieve its own goals rather, that to what for they have been originally created but I wouldn't go to far with deep downed explanation to effects of partitions. Rather than that I would focus on side effect of strong communism's influence. Digging down to partitions can not be answer because polish bureaucracy during 1918 -1939 Polish Republic had completely different attitude than present one.

Again compare imperial British bureaucracy to polish one have no sens to me, they had different purposes and scale.
During partitions we had three completely different imposed models of bureaucracies, that short time during Second Polish Republic they had achieved a lot, merged all of these and created solid one - very hard POLISH achievement, communistic one was NOT POLISH ONE and the last one - banana one merely is not so different from commies when compare their attitudes

telefonitka dont even bother to respond him. His is an orange scum, that he really is


yes, now and because of last 50 years of commie and so on
You can not say that about period of 1918-1939 when they were no any influences of any oriental models. Polish constitution from 1921 was based on the best achievments of western philosophies and bureaucracy followed that way as well

Language / "Poles" or "Polish people" - which is better to use? [199]

I am reading a book published in 1948, written in English by Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, Prime Minister of the Polish goverment in exile during World War II( second important persona after Sikorski ). Every time when he did mention about Polish people he was using the term "Poles". So when Polish exile elite had to use that term it looks like a proper one
