what do you know/think about my country? i know a lot of you link it with da shit but remember- bogdan raczynski is a Pole :o)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its a country that I do not know a lot about. I get the impression that it very poor compared to other European countries. Am I wrong? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know that my mate Ash is from there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
compared to eastern european countries it is poor (maybe not extremly poor compared to russia). i think a lot of people are associating poland with vodka golota and walesa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can't say I do. But I do associate a cold climate. |
||||||||
|
|

I know a polish girl,named Agatha Durniewicz,(wich is a very beautiful name!) She is very special for me,and I love her a lot (as a friend) ....Nothing but good things from poland! |
||||||||
|

|
I would like to visit Poland one day... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we have some interesting electronica artists: bunio (ninja tune abstract hiphop style) noon (a-hiphop firstly published in netherlands) baaba (rephlex style) jacek sienkiewicz (autechrish minimal techno) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know about adam malysz |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I associate poland with vodka and sausages.. my friends late grandfather was polish and another friends grandmother is polish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should visit cracow- beautiful city indeed- it remebers the time of polish domination in europe:)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only remember moments from WW2 that relate to poland. my first boss was from poland with a killer last name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm actually studying Polands role in the start of the cold war.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ww2:) our allies fucked us in the ass and after war soviets did that too. and now we are poor suckers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but there wasn't a lot the allies could do. I know poland got a bad deal but how were they supposed to removed the red army? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is pretty interesting how churchill and stalin rather casually divided up europe into spheres of influence though =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it true you are still offended when people say warschau instead of warzawa and dantzig instead of gdansk? if so, no offense :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was talking about beggining of war- our allies france and england were obliged to attack germany but they didn't. if they had done it the war would have last for about 3 months |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My mum REALLY wants to visit Prague oh and Steamtank, our country dominated the WORLD =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no we are not offended:) danzig sounds interesting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sounds like a band ;) b3n: the 20th century was no good for the british empire :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what has prague to do with poland? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Steamtank we didn't even have to enter the war. It was at our discretion whether to enter the war but we did because of poland. Up until then Hitlers main aim was to go eastwards...he didn't have any interest in Britain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eastern europe, satellite states |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the britains were close to being on the german side, if i'm not mistaken |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Incidently i've visited Budapest and would love to go there again....really beautiful architecture |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The germans had been trying to gain an alliance with us all the way through the 30's, but we didn't....close to their side? on what evidence |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
read "the man in the high castle" by dick:)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and no the 20th century wasn't really any good for the british empire! =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
please read "the man in high castle" by philip dick |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cracow has beautifull architecture "danzig" too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've read another book a bit like that called 'what if', essays on if various events in history had turned out differently and their implications. Like if Britain haden't been forced out of the US or if Alexander The Great had died prematurely |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, would you count the discovery channel as an official source? ;) the germans always saw the english as their worthy neighbours, and many britains were highly flattered by that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always wonder what if the dutch hadn't sold new amsterdam (later new york!!!) to the british.... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
german nazis treat british people as celts:) near nordic ideal men... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"the germans always saw the english as their worthy neighbours, and many britains were highly flattered by that." oh yeah sure, we had quite a successful Nazi party here under Oswald Moseley.. apparently yes, we were seen as genetically pure or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(sorry for the numerous posts!) you've also got to remember though that even though there was a feeling germany had been treated harshly after the treaty of versaille, we weren't a nation of kraut lovers! my grandfather was on the pier on the east coast when some warships appeared and started shelling the town, he ran home and everyone had dissappeared into the woods! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry thats WW1 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you seen that film remains of the day with anthony hopkins? there was a lot of that going on in those days. i'm not saying it was just the british, ofcourse |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i went to poland last summer, warsaw is a great city....really cool architecture and the old town is very interesting. Krakow is nice as well. i'm proud of my polish roots and would definitely recommend everyone to visit someday. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|

||||||||

|
I love it! :) I've been to Poland twice (Kraków) and met lots of friends there. Unfortunately your language is too difficult for me... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah many people find it difficult. i am extremly happy that you like my little country. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when I think of Poland, the first thing come to mind is Polka... sorry, it's just true... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"polka" is a female form of Pole in polish- polish woman:) polish music is mainly shit (chopin is great and the other chamber music composers). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
