First off, I did not say this was utopia, but relatively speaking this one of the most democratic societies on the planet (eg., twice as many people could vote in Poland than in England). If you knew a little comparative history you'd quickly realize that Poland-Lithuania was one of the most tolerant places in Europe for a number of religions and ethnicities at that particular time. After all, there is a reason why this was one of the most plurar societies in the 18th century, a time especially marked by religious wars and intolerance. Yes, the society was hierarchically structured and the aristocracy had more basic rights, just like anywhere else on the planet at that time. I'm sure the average Ukranian of that time would have chosen above all else to be soverign but under the historical circumstances of the time would opt to live under the Polish Commonwealth rather than under the Czarist boot,which surely would have been its fate but for the Commonwealth's existance. The Russian empire gave you Holomodor, can you claim anything remotely similar given to you by Poland? Last edited by lzolnier; 11-22-2011 at 03:58 AM. |

2) Here you are trying to speak down to me, implying my lack of historical knowledge, while talking of Religious wars and intolerance ![]() You mean like those constant uprisings in the first half of the 17th century culminating with the Ukrainian revolution in 1648, a major contributing factor being the Poles vehement refusal to include Kozak representation in the Sejm or to recognize Ukrainians Orthodox faith. After the revolution Koliyivshchyna and Haidamaka uprisings with Poland's intolerance for our Orthodox faith and attempts to destroy it always being front and center. You could pretty much summarize our existance in your state as being intermittent periods of relative rest followed by inevitable violence due to religious intolerance. The intolerance and violence being the rule, the rest being the exceptions. You're saying this to somebody who to this day, in 2011, has arguments with family due to the treaty of Brest in 1596. Some of my family are Uniates which was a Polish attempt to try and eliminate our Orthodox faith. It's a bastardized faith which i regard as a abomination, its existance a manifestation of your hatred for our people, culture, and faith. (i'm not Christian i just see Uniate sect for what it is) Ukrainian did choose.......guess you failed to notice their turing from Poland and towards Russia. Start with the treaty of Pereyaslav and go from there. Holodomor in 1932 has nothing to do with what we're talking about and shows how desperate you are at trying to make Poland "look good" using your rapist analogies. I'm not going to delve into it but i will say that Kaganovich, Krushchev, Yagoda along with over 70% of the rank and file OGPU members were Jewish. |

So you have sympathy for Blacks living in Poland yet you dismiss Poland's oppression and colonization of Ukraine.... What typical left-wing ![]() Poland has never enslaved,conquered, or oppressed Blacks. Poland has conquered and oppressed Ukrainians Keep in mind that Blacks have nothing to do with Poland, and Ukraine are Poland's closest relatives..... |

No denying there is a troubled history between the two nations even to this date. The Ukrainians were no saints, either. Couldn't agree more with the rest of your post. Unfortunately it is so "cool" to immitate anything Western and trendy to be pro-anything liberal. We just got a party voted into the Sejm, who's members consist of gays, and transvestites..I'm completely speechless as to how this happened.. basically imitating anything western as if they didn't have their own feeling of national identity. Fucking sad. I may have to move further East if this trend continues. Wouldn't mind living in Lwow, actually.

I had the misfortune of visiting Prague close to 1 year ago... I do not exagerate, there were multiple African immigrants selling drugs(weed, cocaine, pills, and what I guess to be crack, I am not sure but these white pebbles fell from a gentelmans hand) Also they were advertising and running brothels. Yes thats right, they were Pimping Out Czech women ![]() If you do not believe me, go there yourself, go to the narodni muzeum, and then walk down vaclavke nam...it will be near the Kentucky Fried Chicken ... You will be surprised how prevalent it is once the sun goes down ![]() I was surprised that when speaking Polish I was treated like shit, However when speaking English... It seemed like everyone wanted to suck my cock |

Yea he is, but he have never seen him tested yet. Every time I have seen him fight he is the aggressor, and also the better fighter. I would like to see him against a come forward guy who gives him some trouble to see where he really stands. He has had pretty weak competition. Although I think he would do well if he stepped up, but we just have not seen it yet. Maybe it will happen with Sauerland.

Izu comes across as a good guy. I consider him a Pole. He is Polish, just not fully. He is not ethnic....he will never have Polish blood....but he does follow Polish culture very well. He was born in Poland, fights under the Polish flag, has flawless Polish language speaking skills, eats Polish food, fights for a Polish promotional company, sings the national anthem, developed his K1 and boxing career in Poland, and has Polish friends and follows Polish traditions. In my eyes, I view him as a Pole.

![]() 2. Does he really? So eating Bigos makes someone Polish? 3. So having Polish friends makes one Polish? He is not Polish, He is a Nigerian living in Poland. This takes nothing away from him being a good fighter ect.... Like I said, Foreigners singing Polish anthem means nothing to me. They do not understand or feel what that song is about... Do you consider a Cygan to be Polak? |

Why wouldn't he? He speaks better Polish than you probably speak English. Also, for starters, watch his interviews.

Anyways, of course it makes him Polish. Not by blood, but by choice. The guy chose to stay Polish. There are much more other opportunities than Poland.... Most people go to USA, or France or Germany to create a career/make a improvement in life. But he chose to stay here. He is active in Polish news and commercials, is active in Polish charity works to feed hungry kids, and shows real character and pasion towards the progression of Poland. I don't care tho, he may not be Polish by blood, but I view him as a Pole. He has been a fine asset and role model for all Poles to admire. There is nothing negative Izu has shown thus far to downgrade Poland. He is very intelligent, shows real hard workmanlike character(like most Polish people have), and he has yet to disappoint me nor anyone else in his campaign to make a better life for himself. Not as if he is embarrassing us, hes just trying to make a decent living in a country he admires living in. I have no problems with that. I also consider Mahmed Khalidov in the same page. |

2. Who gives a FUCK ![]() Those are all rich mutli-cultural countries that accept immigrants because they need lower class workers to counter-act their retiring older citizens, Poland does not need that... Poland is neither rich or multi-cultural.... 3. So all Poles should admire him? Fuck You 4. Based off what exactly? 5. That does not make him Polish Poland is not a multi-cultural society like Usa, UK ect..... Poland is built from the blood of our ancestors that died in the uprising of January, November, Warsaw ect.... What does Izu know about a country that was brought from being one of the most important states of Europe to a shell of its former self due to being invaded from 3 different directions? Nothing |
