it's just a personal thing, and this can be anything ranging from historical facts, people, art, sights, culture, mannerisms, traditions and even food or other funny little things that just make you happy to be polish.. would be a positive thread about poland for a change? so please, educate me.

Apologise for a short post but my day wasn't too good. I love Witkacy- I'm sure you can find him in google and I like modern art i.e. Kozyra or Nieznalska... I also like Polish painter from "Młoda Polska" epoque... Merry Xmas!

alright, I like abstract art aswell as classic. and you too. would be cool if someone could tell me more about polish poets and poems. I tend to write them myself when I do have a source of inspiration.

Being Polish is enough to be PROUD OF BEING A POLISH ... Being Polish, reading everypart of its history, and knowing that your country is unique in Europe, is something to look up to... But too much pride...is bad for health

Well, sometimes its hard to be Polish. We have great, interesting history, our country isn't the worst in the world, but we've never been too good in economy and ruling our country, it's a shame that Poles only truly unite in the face of danger (e.g wars, communism etc). Quoting: incognito, Post #17 im wondering why polish are talking in english to each other here is taht a rule or sometjhing Because English is the ruling language in this forum.

Quoting: Bartolome, Post #18 our country isn't the worst in the world, but we've never been too good in economy and ruling our country Do not worry, about 20 years ago, the Irish thought the same about their country and now they are among the richest in Europe (thanks immensely to the EU). I think Poland will definitely follow the same path in the next 20 years and just adding the big population plus a proud history, there you have a most enviable country!!! So cheer up!

It seems like you're more optimistic then Poles are... Irish have undertaken the oportunity, but whether Poland will - it's a mystery.

Well at least Poland is doing better than former East Germany. Germans seem to be such losers compared what they used to be in 80's. Poland could take flat tax rate as Estonia did and boost it's economy, but of course that solution has it's drawbacks also.

Im proud that our country survived despite being between Russia and Germany . We had woeful history, full of wars and so on. But we are still here, our nation survived and is going to do much better than today I hope. Im proud of polish calvary - hussars, that was the best calvary in all Europe history . And Im proud of Sobieski who stopped Muslims who tried to takeover Europe, so we saved Europe. Im proud of polish mathematics who broke enigma code and of our brave soldiers who bravely fought and died for our freedom (which didnt happen in fact ) during WWII. Here is clip about hussars: youtube.com/watch?v=8eU2BtQpJqk

Polish calvary - hussars were easily sent to the hell by Ukrainian kossacks as well as Muslims who tried to conquer Europe. Don't exaggerate Polish achievements

I'm proud for the progress we've made in last 17 years in general democratization, for all the small and big improvements in life, for some justice done here and there, for new police, mayors, street cars and bank accounts and bike paths.

Ukrainians contained Turkish and Tartar expansion for several centuries. They defeated the huge Turkish army near Hotin in 1621

Well, I'm rather ashamed for my country than proud. Mainly because of politicians, who are from very conservative parties, speaking on international forum. I begun to have some patriotic feelings after reading about Polish squadron fighting in RAF during WWII "Question of honour". On the history lessons in school we have been thaught about polish pilots achievements during the WWII but I thaught that in every country on history lessons history is being taught like their country was the greatest and children are rather being thaught of events in which a given country had succeded than where it failed. Authors of this book are not polish and have no polish roots and I guess that is what mainly conveinced me to be somehow proud of my country. So it's rather history that I am proud of - not current events. Nevertheless, I am trying to look at our politics as we were learning the democracy now and that is why populistic parties are so favourited.
