History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]

I wouldn't call them bitter and vengeful, not without good reason anyways. But I absolutely agree with your 3 step plan.

History / Poles in the Crusades to the Holy Land [75]

When Leszko Biały was asked by the bishop why he did not want to go to the Holy Land to join the crusades, he replied it was because he heard that they do not serve beer there and that the people there have no knowledge of the beverage.

Bolesław the Tall had gone to the Holy Land with the Holy Roman Emperor Konrad III and later to Italy with Frederick Barbarossa. In Italy he was distinguished for his valor at the siege of Mediolan where he defeated an Italian Knight in single combat.

Germans would be my logical thought.

I think if we look at history Germans have always considered Poles and Slavs for that matter inferior. It was during the medieval times that "Drag Nach osten" first came about. Hitler merely copied it centuries later.

having said that I think its a matter of opinion. I don't think we can say who Poles as a collective nation like or dislike more.

Have you ever read "Polactwo" by Rafał Ziemkiewicz? If not, I greatly encourage it.

Life / Move to Poland or UK? (Advice needed) [51]


Wow, just for wanting to live in a place where more traditional settings makes him a racist? You're a little too quick on the trigger. Is the African who leaves America to go back to his ppl a racist? Too many double standards nowadays. Just because you're white doesn't mean you have to welcome multiculturalism with open arms; and labeling someone racist for it shows the degree of your maturity.

Poland is definitely headed in the multi-cultural direction. I'm sure you'll find more modest cities where there won't be much diversity but since you're looking for a call center job I imagine you will need to look for a more metropolitan city. I have two friends who have Polish backgrounds, speak it well as well as English and they enjoy their lives and are glad they moved. One went to Wrocław, the other to Warszawa.

300 students, who have yet to probably face the real world and get careers moving... What's 300 out of 38,000,000??
No, not every Pole is a democrat. I can probably match your 300 with non democrats. Most of them from the sejm.

I would love to know where you got this idea from.

Crow, you are spot on.

That's a stuck up statement. Those countries have had democracy or their form of it as long as Poland. Poland is NOT a traditional democratic nation, that's just something the US fed Poles during solidarity times. Poland has been traditionally ruled by either Kings, nobles and magnates, or dictators.

Even Pilsudski criticized the sejm, calling it a pit of snakes. He himself declared that to allow political parties to rule would be the begining of the end for Poland. He took power in a coup d'etat in 1926 after he himself seen what "democracy" brought, corruption, political and economic crisis. By 1930 he had around 18 leaders of different political parties arrested and he had his own people run the country.

I think if you look at surveys you'll see the mood of Poles towards the EU is gradually changing. As in most countries. For good reason at that.

So no, Poland isn't a traditionally democratic country at all.

Really? That's very laughable that you think so. Poland is no less corrupt then it was 50 years ago. Might be worse now. More parties and bogus poseł's, retired athletes who want to get a piece of the tax payers money. If Poland isn't a vassal state of the west then why does it not stand up for its economic interest like Orban in Hungary for example? But why should I try and convince you, just listening to the bugged conversations of our great politicians, sikorski who was recorded saying that we just keep sucking America's metaphorical d*ck and Sienkiewicz who stated Poland is a country only theoretically.

Poland should most definitely get out of the Russian hating circle. It does not help us. I hope in the future Poland finds its feet and leads its own foreign policy and politics rather than acting as a vassal state of the US-EU.
