Off-Topic / East Europe's Wild Nature - flora and fauna (zoological thread) [23]

But I'm not accusing the whole Ukrainian nation of anything - merely pointing out the difference (not only in scale) between the actions of UPA as a whole, and actions of particular "cursed soldiers" units who weren't under Home Army command.

The most common definition of genocide is "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group". Hence, "cursed soldiers", as opposed to UPA, cannot be accused of genocide. They never aimed at destroying an entire nation or ethnic group in a given area whilst UPA did exactly that - they conducted orderly and regular ethnic cleansing, acting on orders of their leadership.

Especially if, in case of Poland, you skip November and January Uprisings - such momentous and national mythos-creating events; as well as 123 years of struggling to regain independence, then the Polish-Soviet war, the 2nd Rzeczpospolita period (which, believe it or not, still influences political life in Poland today), the September Campaign, WW2, Home Army, Volhyn massacre etc. etc. Why would anyone seriously interested in Poland's history decide to do it? Strange.

I think I will join Milo in my lack of reverence for "old Polish nobility".

The nobles, not necessarily the ordinary szaraczki but especially those from grand old families were the worst scumbags of all. They exploited peasants, blocked all the attempts at reforming the country, defended their overblown privileges, broke Sejm sessions, started rokosz rebellions etc. etc. In simple Irish terms - they were c*nts of the first order. It was their selfishness and greed that eventually led to the downfall of Poland and her disappearance from the map of Europe for 123 years.

Zamoyskis might have been a spoonful of honey in a barrel of tar, but as a social class in general nobility were a disgrace.


Pity indeed.

History / Recommended Poland's history books [177]


As I said, a couple of spoonfuls of honey in a barrel of tar. For every one of your Zamoyskis and Stadnickis we could find ten others who were thieves, traitors and warchołs. If this hadn't been the case, Poland wouldn't have lost independence for 123 years and regained it only in very favourable historical conditions, when even dwarves like Latvia or Estonia were declaring their independence.

It's not about a political system but about total depravity of man. It is, by and large, a theological question not a political/economic one.

Of course, in certain conditions and countries men are allowed to indulge in the sinfulness of their wretched hearts more than in others, and that was the case in Poland. Let's not forget that Polish nobles were in overwhelming majority members of the apostate popish cult, so being deprived of proper religion they allowed all their worst faults to flourish.

The same tanks and howitzers the purchase of which was so criticised by oppositards and their "experts" (some of whom already announced the cancelling of those contracts if they win the elections)? Good. Polish Army is in dire need of modern equipment.

We can only be glad that oppositards are not in power at the moment. If they were, they would probably purchase rainbow-coloured uniforms and armoured abortion-on-demand vehicles instead. :)

Very good point. Obviously it has nothing to do with "corruption" or "rule of law" but it's about falling neatly in line with the 1000-year Leftard Reich agenda. A year or so ago I would have shivered at the thought of Poland leaving the EU. I am not shivering anymore.

No, you don't. If you did, you would see - apart from their obvious mistakes - also all the good things that PiS is doing for Poland. If you cared about something more than your particular political sympathies, you would never say about other Poles that they have to be "eliminated like rabid dogs"...

Of course they are. Again they chose what's better for Poland and not their particular party interests. Commendable.


Certainly not. Only the Ziobrysts (and their 0.7% or something of voters :)) will be a bit dissapointed but I'm sure that Kaczyński will be able to explain to Ziobro that his antics are not more important than the good of Poland. If only the oppositard party leaders had a tiny fraction of responsibility and statesmanship presented by PiS!

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1146]


Indeed.


Yip. PiS agreed to the conditional mechanism as well as the milestones, so now they have to dance to the EU tune or they won't be getting any money (and they need the billions to soften the inflation blow). That's what makes them moderate - as Amiga said - they eventually succumbed to the EU pressure. Ziobrysts wouldn't bow down to the EU but they are a minority in Zjednoczona Prawica.


Luckily, it is possible to leave the EU (the British did and the world didn't end), so if the neo-marxist elements within the Union try to exert even more pressure on normal countries, then it will be bye-bye, leftards. Meanwhile, the billions will come in handy, he he. :)

Actually, if you take a look at surveys about LGBT ideology, for example, you will notice that it is rather leftardism that is rejected by majority of Poles...

... also, all you have to do is take a look at the results of any election and see how many votes leftards (SLD, Razem) get to realise that. I know that it's painful when the reality hits you in the face but that's how it is. :)

The best definition I've read (and a very succint one) comes from the Westminster Shorter Catechism: "Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God."


The problem with transgender youth, Ami, is that we have reliable data that show us clearly that if people insist on calling them by their "dead name", they are much more likely to commit suicide. Hard statistical data (I even read an academic paper on the topic some time ago), and this changes a lot, doesn't it?

The main concern of a teacher worthy of that name is the good of a student. That's it. No way around it. So, if I knew that refusing to call Magda Marek (or the other way around) could push the child to commiting suicide, and I still refused to use her/his name of choice, then I'd be a real son of a b*tch.

From my point of view as a Christian, the child might be in error, in sin, maybe even ensnared by Satan, but he/she might still realise their mistake, receive God's grace and repent, but there's one condition - the child has to be alive. Stubborn c*nts, like the "teacher" that jon357 mentioned, really get on my nerves - there's no love in them, they give Christians a bad name.

Wrong again, misiu-pysiu. 14 months is an eyeblink, it's nothing when it comes to deeply ingrained societal attitudes.


No. It is you who claim that something has changed substantially in this regard in the last 14 months, so you should show us a newer survey. :)


The ones I mentioned are leftards. There are, of course, some libtard parties too. These two sets of retards surely do intersect, but they are not identical.

That sounds rather accurate...

... doesn't it? And guess what - it comes from a third century BC document. :) The Westminster Confession of Faith is the most accurate expression of true Christian faith in existence, and the fact that it comes from the 17th century is irrelevant.

What do you mean 20 years ago? You claimed that 14 months is like prehistory in this regard. :)


The survey I posted was about legal rights for homosexual couples - one of the LGBT movement's aims; yours is about tolerance toward homosexuality itself. Not the same thing: a lot of those who said that they tolerate homosexual orientation would still be against granting such people the right to adoption.


The only person being hysterical here is you: all your "hahahahas", "madafakas", "come outs", "eliminate PiS like rabid dogs" etc. and so on make you look like a total retard. A hysterical retard at that. If you were 16 your behaviour could possible be justified but you are probably closer to 60 which makes it just sad.

If the EU insists on pushing their pro-LGBT agenda, then the countries who still regained a bit of sanity will have to consider their options. Or maybe we will just have to wait until the '68 generation dies out (should be soon enough) and conservative politicians take over - it is already starting to happen.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1146]


I never said any such thing. You, on the other hand, wrote that PiS has to be eliminated like rabid dogs - it's there for everyone to see, so you call to murder Poles for their political views. You are the greatest scumbag this forum has ever seen, a tiny spiteful man - spewing his frustration online. The scariest part is that you're a teacher - a teacher calling for politically motivated mass killings. What a scum.


I don't care what you call me - your behaviour on this board reflects only who you are.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1146]


And this is the worst part.

Insulting people, being a hysterical retard, acting like you're 16 when you're 60 etc. etc. is one thing, but wanting to murder Poles for their political views is too much even for a rabid troll and hater like you. You should be ashamed of yourself but apparently you don't even grasp the concept of shame. From now on you will be treated like a Stalinist mass murderer wannabe that you are.

We don't have to imitate European ways - we are European par excellence, the heart of Europe; and anyway, Europe has already started turning conservative, so there.


I don't think so. Amiga500 is right - the only result of pushing people too far will be a healthy reaction of turning even more conservative.


I'm not nearly as good at it as you are. :)

Exactly! Nostalgia is a weird thing... all those people in Poland nostalgic for the Second Republic (1918-1939), a time of widespread illiteracy, suffering and poverty for millions of Poles, or even the PRL (People's Republic of Poland) never cease to amaze me (OK, I could possibly be accused of the same thing regarding the Austro-Hungarian Empire :)).

When time machines are invented people who are nostalgic about a certain period of time in the past should be transported to that period and made to live there for a year or two. ;)
