Polish civilization is older then English or French. Why then Poland follow them?

One always listen about French or English interests, British or USA interests. There are even Russian interests, etc, etc.

but i never in my life heard of Polish interests. How is this possible? Especially when we know that Poland represent older civilization then England or France. /Hand on heart, i heard that earlier in past Poland had its own interests but today is different./

For the sake of God, Poles still using language of their ancestors, for more then thousands of years old. Nor French, nor English speak native languages of territories of modern day England and France but still, they have their interests, Poles don`t. So, again, how is this possible. Are Poles biggest gentlemans of this Europe and respect every wish of others?

just curious. Thanks

Let us just get our economy equal to the ones in Germany and France etc etc..

And then you will see the poles rise again ;)

Right now we don't want to risk to much, since we just had 55 years of communism.

What the fek are you on about now...What level of civilisation are you talking about? Arrow heads from 2,000 years ago have been found on my Island..which means we were creating tools to hunt with..which means we were "civilised" in that we didnt hunt with our bare hands...You need to be a little bit clearer..As for language, we have spoken many dialects on this Island...so your "Lanauge theory" means fek all..English is an evolving language...Unlike the brains the male population of Serbia which dont seem to be able to evolve past - beating people to death! You're no better than the Arabs!

Actually no its not, the civilisations are about equally old if you count proto tribes of each as their root civy.

Your question about Polish interests shows that you are confusing politics with culture. Polish culture may be stronger and older than either France or England but politically Poland is much weaker due to foreign domination which weakened the country politically.

this may be one of the most interesting things you have posted here crow.. cool..
now, of course PL has interests.. like there was discussion in another thread, PL is recovering from ww2 and the commie occupations of the past.. it is doing rather nicely, don't you think? will poland be a world or even an european powerhouse? we'll see but finding the possible shale deposits may add to its interests.. PL still has a strategic location on the continent being halfway between east and west and north and south.. PL has access to the sea.. all those things will help.. and PL has already established as the ballsy EU member.. so it's all good in my book.

Don't get me wrong but i just don't like it when people on this forum tends to get personal with me. Where im from or where i live ain't your business.

but when you say "we" you imply that you're from PL.. and so, are you? hmm

dtaylor5632:
Do you associate question about ur knowledge on topics as rudeness??

yeah, that's weird but maybe you guys ought to take it to PMs.. eh?

Well Ireland and its culture is far older than Poland, if you view it from the one dimensional pathetic lens of crow, but what the f0ck has this to do with capitalism.

Sokrates:
Actually no its not

yes, i am right and you arn`t right. Slavic civilization in general and particularly Polish culture is far much older then any Germanic, Anglo-Saxon or Romanic culture in general or in particular. If you don`t have stomach or brain capabilities to accept it that`s your problem but that`s how it is

just one example:

spot this list of designations for cousins in Serbian (similar is in Polish) language. i would like that somebody offer alternative list in English/French language >>>

1. sin (Srb.) --- son (Eng.)
2. otac/tata --- father
3. deda/djed --- grandfather
4. pradeda --- grand-grand father
5. cukundeda (read - chukundeda) --- after grand-grand father
6. askurdjel --- next step in blood line
7. sukurdjel --- next step
8. rebalo --- next
9. kurebalo --- next
10. beli orao (meaning- `white eagle` in Eng.)--- next

This comparison between Slavic/English/French languages needs to show how are Slavic languages obviously much older. Even simple-minded person can notice that. Designations for cousins (for people that are in blood line) is very good indication for deep roots of one language (because one language needs a lot of time to invent diverse list of words for all kind of cousins).

Comparing to Slavic languages, English, French, Spanish or German languages are on the level of little baby. No, rather on the level of microbes. With all due respect of course on all European non-Slavic languages

Sokrates:

only in your dreams

Amathyst:
which means we were "civilised" in that we didnt hunt with our bare hands...You need to be a little bit clearer..

clearer? Listen then... if ancient Slavs, particularly Polish /as genetic findings confirms/ ancestors back in time known also as Sarmatians didn`t influence and give their seed to Britain, its really questionable how long would Brits hunt and eat with their bare hands.

Brits even were unable to ride horses properly while Poles didn`t learn them, considering that Poles very early acquired `winged cavalry tactics` (Gusari > Husari) from Serbs (Racowie). Then from Poland, such a superior cavalry tactics was spread all over Europe and even world.

Some things wchich Crow wrote are interesting and probably true or almost true. But I can not see real civilisation in East (Poland) and North +England+ Europe before V century. And NO IMO naked men with spears(druids) are not civilisated people.

Architecture

Romans, Greeks, Egiyptians were civilisated, but druids or german tribes or slavs not

Why?

The tribes back then had architecture and law too...
Do you think someone with better autobahns is more civilized than the neighbour who don't have them? (or not as well build ones)

o fak,

BB

coz that:
Architecture
Literature
well skilled army
administration
LAW

all of those civilisations had every of those aspects of civilisations so romans, greeks, egyptians were civilisated. there are more civlisations ofc. but i gave You only example

The tribes back then had architecture and law too...

The quality of architecture or law. Why we can talk for hours abot roamnian anfd greeks architecture but as far as druids architecture we will say : Stonehedge and they lived in forest. ( what is not a true)

Why we can talk for 6 months about roman law ( i had this subject on my university) but as far as druid law we will say : it was sth. like it.

You are an helpless idiot if you think having the bigger army makes one more civilized!
Hitler was right then, wasn't he!
But who knows people will talk about Nazi Germany in a few hundred years similiarly...after all they had been so developed compared to their neighbours!

Have a look at that...it might help open your eyes...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Jones%27_Barbarians

....
The popular view of Celtic society is that it was primitive and uncivilized. Terry Jones sets out to challenge this view. Far from being primitive compared to Rome, it was an advanced society that was in some ways even more advanced than Rome. For example, many of the roads in Gaul that were assumed to have been built by the Romans, turn out to have been built by the Celts themselves....

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/article714033.ece
Decline and fall of the Roman myth
We were ‘barbarians’, but early British civilisation outshone the Roman version, says ex-Python Terry Jones. We just lost the propaganda war

The fact that we still think of the Celts, the Huns, the Vandals, the Goths and so on as “barbarians” means that we have all fallen hook, line and sinker for Roman propaganda. We actually owe far more to the so-called “barbarians” than we do to the men in togas.

Time to update your beliefs!

But I really have a problem with lazy brains...and stating that the murderous roman empire which enslaved the world and even murdered whole people for his own gain is hold up as "civilization" whereas their enemies and victims are sold to us as "barbarians".
And especially galling if one of us, whose ancestors fighted these killers, bought that victor propaganda and still beliefs these myths...

That is equally to a Pole or a Jew buying and believing Hitlers subhuman myths...it boggles the mind.
But just abit more reading or even googling would help you think otherwise...but some are just to lazy for that!

Some food for thought:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disk

...
If authentic, the find reconfirms that the astronomical knowledge and abilities of the people of the European Bronze Age included close observation of the yearly course of the Sun, and the angle between its rising and setting points at summer and winter solstice. While Stonehenge and the Neolithic "circular ditches" such as the 5th millennium BC Goseck circle were used to mark the solstices, the disk is the oldest known "portable" instrument to allow such measurements.

The european "barbarians" had such things earlier than the "civilized" Egyptians? Huh???
