News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]


But can you blame them? One of the reasons why Hitler was so popular among Germans was the fact that he was openly against the resolutions of the treaty of Versailles, the international act that was the basis of Poland's existence as a sovereign state, which the Germans saw as very unjust and humiliating. A statement that more than once you acknowledged on this very forum.

The exterritorial rail and highway were in fact Polish ideas from the 1920's that were abandoned later on once Hitler and his aggressive politics started to flourish, and the intervention of French and British diplomacy is just a clear sign that Poles weren’t alone in the right evaluation of the way Germany was heading in the late 1930’s.

Or are you maybe of an opinion that they all were wrong and Hitler wasn't in fact a cunning, unstable psychotic warmonger?

Yep, next to "Rothschilds, don't even bother!" ;)

Life / Polish Organizational Skills [83]


Some time ago I have read about the increasing amount of high skilled Scandinavians workers that decide to stay on unemployment because of the fear from living on their own, taking risks, deciding what to do, etc...

I think that we actually could find an analogy between the current government policies in Scandinavian courtiers and the ones of the former polish nanny state of the commy era.

Old habits die hard I guess, and I must admit that I am also guilty of this trait, leaving everything on the last minute.

Love / English girl. Do Polish men afraid to show their feelings or they are just not comfortable in UK? [84]


This is exactly what I was thinking.

There are also other ways:

Love / What do Polish guys think of Irish girls? [187]

Ahh Sokrates. Nice to see someone bringing back politeness to the conversation.

As for the topic, I had a serious crush on the corrs once. Ohh they truly are proper PIG's. I mean proper Pretty Irish Girls of course. :)

I don't know about youz folks, but I've noticed that most men who complain about the looks of some certain group of women are the ones who wouldn't have the chance to date them in the first place.

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

Happiness is sooo last season. Grim face is the new cheerful face. It’s just that the rest of the world didn’t notice the change in the trend.

Ahhhhh, in that case my list would contain: Germans, Russians and Jews! wink wink nudge nudge ;)


I would say that generally we are a very reserved lot. At least until the first bottle of vodka. :)

Language / Old Polish Vs New Polish [29]


Well languages evolve so I'm sure that there must have been some changes but not to a degree where you wouldn't be understood.

A 40 year old polish-learning book. That's quite an antic.

Jaje. :) It is still being used, but not in standard Polish.

Ioann, eh? Thanks Kostia. I shall consider it when naming my daughter. ;)

History / Famous Russian Poles [243]


Ahh, I see. So why is Sasha a diminutive of Alexander. Strange. But than again, in polish it is Olek.


No Sir, I have learned my lesson. BTW, what is wrong with beautiful polish names such as Mysiwór, or Kocipał?! I'm thinking of naming my son one of those names. ;)

History / Famous Russian Poles [243]

Yeah, I guess that Poland of XVIII century could be described as the "sick man of Europe". Just like post soviet Russia is being seen these days by many politicians. It's too early for Poland to help you out but who knows what will happen in a decade or two from now. ;)

History / Famous Russian Poles [243]

Well Kostia has a point there.

PS: Why do russian and Ukrainian male names sound so femaleish? Anyone noticed this? Kostia, Sasza, Żenia, Wania... ;)

Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]

The stunning milfs who have been named here are all actresses.

Do you know any stunning women in their 40/50's that have been working their whole life in a factory? Well there weren't many business women in communist times around here.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


Of course it's all about intentions. It's just that some words have been used so many times in offensive contexts that the offensive message became part of the meaning of the word, as it happened with the word nigger mentioned by you in your post.

What do you reckon is so offensive exactly about the word nigger? Do you think that it's the specific combination of vowels and consonants that make it so derogatory? Maybe there is a rule that says that every time a vowel "i" follows a consonant "n" a word becomes offensive to the listener?

What do you think, wise-guy? And do you feel offended when being called a wise-guy? I met some people that clearly were, even though there is nothing wrong with being wise, innit? Do you think it could have got something to do with the intentions the speaker is using this name?

Ohh and if I would call my good friend a nigger I don't think he would be that upset. Back in my punk rock days I didn't mind being called brudas by my friends, even though I would get into a fight if some stranger would call me that.

Ahh but have you met all of them? ;)


Or DICKinSON? ;)

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

A word in itself, and here I mean any word, is not offensive but the intentions can be. The word "murzyn" for me is a neutral word, however it can be used as a derogatory word if the person who uses it will have the intentions to offend.

Let’s take the word Paki for example. For a person from the US it’s just a short form of the word Pakistani. Nothing insulting about that. The situation is totally different in the UK where the word Paki is commonly known as a very racist term. It’s all about intentions.

And “Murzynek Bambo” is definitely not racist.

I have read recently that the Russians seem to have some problems with the funds for the Nord Stream Project. Maybe there won't be any need for a pettition after all. ;)

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]


The author of the words which just few pages ago claimed to be the words of Copernicus, namely:


not only didn't knew him personally, but he didn't even knew the guy to whom the manuscript was passed to. Further more, he even didn't knew the guy who got the manuscript from that guy who got the manuscript in the first place. Actually, he even didn't get the chance to meet the guy, who got the manuscript from a guy, who got the manuscript from a guy, who got te manuscript from Copernicus. BBoy, are you being serious here?

And are you going to appologize to the good people of this forum for your lie or are you going to change the subject as usual?

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

BBoy, could you please provide us with the link to the source of that quote of yours?


Well it's a pity that he is altering the facts. Like for example with the signature of Copernicus on the manuscript of "De revolutionibus".

First of all, the signature "Nicolai Copernick Canonici Varmiensis in Borussia Germaniae mathematici ..." doesn't mean that Copernicus considered himself German like BratwurstBoy wrote here:


It actually means as follows: "of Canon Nicolaus Copernick from Warmia in Prussia of Germany, of the mathematician ...". Hardly the same, innit?

And secondly, this signature was added by a German Jakob Christmann, 60 years after Copernicus death, in 1603.

Here is the quote and the source:


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakob_Christmann

So much for BratwurtsBoy's iron proof. Bad, bad Bboy.

PS: Ahh those stubborn Poles, innit? ;)

Actually I always wanted to introduce my British friends to that dish. I imagined that since Brits love vinegar so much that it would be a smashing hit, but I guess I was wrong. :)

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]


If you are thinking about ""De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" than I would like to check your sorce because to my knowladge the signature only includes his name and the agjective "Thorinensis".


But you are aware that Copernicus never studied on a German university?

PS: The whole argument is a bit strange, as we are arguing about the nationality of a person that lived in the XV century using cryteria of a nationality from XXI century. But what ever...

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]


Prof Lew-Starowicz is probably the best known sexologist here in Poland. Quite a prominent person, and a great expert in this field. This is why I named only his name, which doesn't mean that he is the only person that claims what I stated in my previous post. If you really are interested in thus subject, check any site about pedophilia and you will know that I'm being right.
