"Please do" is not an answer to "will you STFU?"

The proper answer is either yes or no.

No, they were not doing any fighting and shooting during those wars. Providing ammo is not "participating" for the purpose of this discussion. Same about doing guard duty and firing a shot or two.

I like you more and more.

Whoever wrote ISRAELI MINISTER TELLS EU TO GO TO "THOUSAND HELLS". are you sure this go to thousands hells is the exact quote. My sources tell me that the thought was expressed a bit differently.

EU vs Israel? Let me think. Hmm, a bunch useless spineless wonders in Brussels vs the smartest and the bravest people surrounded by a sea of barbarians who would kill them in a nanosecond if they knew how. Not an easy call to make. I will be back tomorrow.

No, you never forget. You just become a lot less fluent after 50 years of not using it. Still remember your first phone number? How about the names of your teachers from the elementary school?

Life / What is Poland's view on obesity? How healthy, fit are Poles? [166]

To his credit, Obama made the US restaurants show calories. When I see those numbers I lose a desire to eat at all. A slice of pizza at Costco - 800. That's like 4 hours of power walking. I didn't touch pizza since. Another rule I am trying to follow: never eat after 3 pm.

While they are asleep, here is one and the only reason why I will never go to a country like Poland where they don't operate under the American rule of never, ever refusing treatment in the emergency rooms to anyone without asking a single question. A point that is totally non-negotiable to me. If I want to go to a jungle, I will go to a jungle.

Here is why. Back in 2002, I went for a bike ride through a park in Palatine. Like a complete moron, I wasn't paying attention and hit a tree with my face. It was one f***** mess that later needed 50 stitches to make me look like a human again. Somebody called 911 and the ambulance guys were picking me up in about 10 minutes. In the ER, nobody asked who I was or how I was going to pay. After the MRI scan they installed the above mentioned stitches, asked me if I have insurance, I said yes, gave them the name, and I was on my way home. That's it.

Now, imagine the above in a hospital that wants cash up front, and I mean cash, not a credit card. That MRI alone was probably a grand or two. In Warsaw, I would have to have that kind of money on me while on a bike and in shorts. Even if I did, that money would have been stolen within minutes as I was waiting for the ambulance.

Never again. Again.

I had it. It was "proper". But the moron at the Solec hospital didn't even want to look at it. Cash on the table or get lost.

Couldn't put it any better.

As far as trust, never trust anybody. Trusting is for losers and the desperate without options.

The rest is a matter of mutually benefitial contracts and agreements with plan B if things go wrong.

Distrusting Russia is OK if it is not a pathological mental disorder and based on hate for what happened in the past. Other than Katyn, what is it that Russia, or even the USSR did to Poland, that is so awful compared to Germany, or the US at Yalta or wherever they sold Poland out.

BTW, if Russia in fact treated a traitor - the one that split to UK and wouldn't shut up - to a little polonium for all to see what happens to such people, good for Russia. I wish the US started doing something like that. How many people would be alive and money saved if we offed a couple of bad hombres in the past. Like Castro.

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]


I couldn't agree more.

Unless I am misinformed, Poland officially, or at least many Poles, still blames Russia for the Smolensk accident notwithstanding the fact that the tower told the pilot to go to another airport because the fog was too dense. As is the Polish tradition, respect (szacunek) for the president won and the pilot, instead following the tower directives, obediently did what he was told by a guy who never flew a kite. Telling the prez to sit down and shut the f*** up was not an option so the pilot chose death. F****** brilliant. Unfortunately for the Russians, Katyn is close to Smolensk, so the Russians did it again, obviously.

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]


Take it easy. I mentioned Katyn only to suggest that what the Russians did there can serve to explain the historical animosity Poles can feel towards Russia. That's it.

On the scale of world crimes, Katyn does not even register.

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]


I will shock you: I wholeheartedly agree with you. Iraq war was a crime against the Iraqi people and based on "faulty" intelligence. Cute. The intelligence delivered by that abomination we call the CIA, which got the US into more wars, conflicts, than any other organization, was simply declared later as faulty, "which everybody believed". Still, the CIA are the good guys, but KGB is bad. And that terrible Putin. Yeah.


And you, of course, will be able to explain the difference. I am all eyes.

Once he is told that, proceeding is choosing death. I didn't say "wishing for".

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]


Help me. So what happened in Poland because Russia had 300,000 troops in Legnica?

What specifically did the Russians do to Poland? Your turn.

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


I don't believe you. You are a liar.

How does THAT feel now. Thanks for walking into that trap.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


That is exactly what I bought. Both amounts were precisely as you stated. And an international 24/7/365 toll free number. They wouldn't even look at my proof of insurance much less call that number.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


I just got the second of the two, but I am too scared to cut myself to get the blood.

Where should I deliver it for the "he is not Polish" chorus to STFU?

Speaking of STFU, I am still waiting for an answer to my question: if I post my BC, will you all STFU about me not being Polish?

The only acceptable answer is "yes" for it to happen.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


I am glad you asked.

1. I like posting on forums and getting a fact-based discussion going.
2. Fresh from my two trips to Poland, I chose this forum to learn more about Polish people.

If I find #3 you will be the first to know. OK?

BTW, see how easy it was for me to asnwer your question, knowing full well that is was rhetorical and not meant to satisfy your desire to really know my motivation.

Since you brought it up, how are your farts on the light-heavy scale?

@delphiandomine
Did you skip over my post 178?

For your convenience, the essence of it is in bold type.

She was neither young nor pretty, and I was not brash.

As I said before, I was too sick to be brash. And I had no reason to be brash. I was merely asking questions. My misfortune was that I came across two Polish a-holes working goverment jobs and thus totally indifferent to things and, therefore, not capable of re-directing a sick foreigner to another facility where they could be bothered to look at his proof of insurance and, maybe even call that f****** toll free number. My best guess is that that number was not in Polish, hence the reluctance.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


I will. Just give me a minute. Why do I have this feeling we will be friends from now on?

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]


Mine was not a denial. It was a question: What specifically did the Russians do to Poland?

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]

Are you refering to me with that mr jagoff or yourself?

I asked for the specifics. Like, the Russians raped, executed, tortured, stole your food, used people for their body parts, you know s*** like that. Imposing communism is a catch all phrase which is meaningless. Unless one offers specifics.

In fact, I got free education, free medical care, was never imprisoned for my big mouth, was never forced to join PZPR. I was never homeless or hungry. Politechnika was free (za darmo). What else, my father was free to go to Western Europe to attend conferences, and was never a member of PZPR either.

What I do remember is that money was tight and that leaving Poland going west on a private passport was next to impossible. That's about it.

Almost forgot, in Poland we had two political parties: PZPR and another one I don't remember. And guess what, this is almost funny if it wasn't so sad: in the US, still the best place on earth, we also have two parties, corrupt to the core and faking being an opposition.

Now, instead of calling me names, could you kindly reciprocate and be as specific as I just was.

Just skip the insults. You see, here, in America we learned one thing: the first guy who uses "Hitler" or a profanity loses the argument.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


I just scanned three documents: BC, my diploma, and a statement I got from the Polish consulate about me being a citizen of Poland.

My immediate problem is that the files are too big. But I didn't forget the promise I made.

Just hang on.

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]


So? What does that have to do with the Russians? Did they force Polish communists to treat themselves better that others? Did the Russians force Polish communist thugs to open "sklepy za zoltymi firankami?"

All that s*** you are quoting was done by the Poles to other Poles. If the Russians were in charge of every crap, ALL Eastern bloc countries would be basically equally poor and oppressive. They were not. So before you try to hang some more s*** on the Russians, make sure that they were directly responsible or that they made such demands under threats.

I am asking for the last time: what did the RUSSIANS do to the individual Poles after 1946?

They behaved so well in Legnica, most of us didn't even know they were even there.

If you have any information about the Russians raping Polish women or looting Polish stores, please do share it.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


No, I am not stupid, and I wasn't going to reveal anything personal. I was just curious when they would actually blink and say: there is absolutely no reason why any stranger would put this kind of effort into faking being of different nationality for no tangible reason.

So, following your advice, to all of you arrogant a-holes with an overgrown sense of importance: GFY.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


Listen, you little pos. Nobody talks to me like that. Not even the cops here. I don't have to answer s***.

You are so predictable. I knew before I made the offer that posting anything will change nothing. Good job proving it.

I ready wonder what mental disorder is yours?

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]


I never said that. I wrote that the Katyn casualties on the world scale is hardly noticable. 20,000 dead?

Civilian lossed in Vietnam: 627,000. In Iraq: about 1.2 million. Try to put 20,000 and 1,827,000 on the same scale and tell me what you see.

That's the only point I was trying to make. Now, who are the bad guys?

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]

Now that Poland is free of the Soviet oppression, their crimes, like rapes and executions of Poles, should be made public and the relevant documents released.

Were they?

I wrote 1946 and forward as a point of reference to specifically exclude the war related activities. Yes, the Russians raped German women when the took Berlin. Did the rapes continue in East Germany under their control later on?

We can include 1942 through 1945 to show how bad the Soviet were. But then we have to include Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki. There was no military justification to bomb any of them. Dresden was a purely terroristic act. Personally, my only regret is that we ran out of nukes and I don't feel sorry for the 50,000 Germans fried in Dresden who adored Hitler till his last day. If they changed their minds, it was probably because they lost the war. But a dispassionate observer of history has to keep things in perspective to retain his objectivity.

I saw Katyn. It was terrible but no more than Auschwitz. If Poland can hop into bed with those who gave it Auschwitz and the loses of 17% of the population, Poland should be able to play nice with the Russians. If the Germans today can say that it was not us, it was those bad NAZI's, then the Russian today should be allowed to say that it was not them but rather the bad Soviets, most of them dead by now, who did Katyn and other horrible things.

News / Polonophobia rising in Israel. [144]

I am back. Let's skip all that noise about Israel making demands on Poland, or Israelis behaving badly in Warsaw, or how much the US is the Israel's sugar daddy. The main thing is that (1) Israel exists legally, (2) Israel was attacked, (3) the aggressors lost the wars, (4) the aggressors never promised not to do again, (5) the aggressors along with Iran refuse to say that Israel has a right to exist, (6) and scream something like 'death to Israel" and when that gets old for a moment, "death to America".

Now, I have a question: If a thousand people in your village told you every day that they want to kill you, wouldn't you do everything (legal or illegal) in your power to prevent this from happening?

If the US chooses to align itself with Israel and send them money that is their business. It is neither wrong or right, moral or immoral. Just as I don't have to explain why I hate the scum that comes near me from Latin America becaue I want the US to be as white and Anglo as possible. Israel has the same right to decide who is allowed to stay and who is not. It can discriminate on any basis it wants, race, religion, or hair color. The main Israeli sin the world out there cannot stand is the contrast what they have achieved and what the "Palestinians" did. It could not be more telling as to which race is superior. If the "Palestinians" did something more constuctive then blowing up school buses with the Israeli kids inside, they would be in much better shape.

Until Israel hears "you have a right to exist" instead of "death to Israel", them shooting hateful rioters who instantly become "kids" when they get killed for throwing burning tires across the fence, talking about the noise issue is pure bs and a waste of time. Like telling me that I should give up my gun. Ain't gonna happen.

Just curious: How many US patents are owned by "Palestinians" or Arabs and how many by Jews?
