I'm going to Chavez-Land!

Not quite. The Poles invited the Order in to clear out the pagan enclave in what eventually became East Prussia - they sucked too hard to do it themselves, and yeah they did try - and the Pope put his stamp on it. Poland was already a Christian state by then. Over the next century and a half, the Order crushed the pagan inhabitants and converted the remainder, shipped in German peasants to make up the difference and clear the old woods, and even managed to force the pagan Grand Duchy of Lithuania's rulers into converting (then they - dude named Mindaugas - recanted), then forced them into it again. Then Lithuania united with Poland after the Order got too strong for the two of them, then came Tannenberg and sad times.

But the Order did school the Poles over Pomerelia/West Prussia before the Poles had to call in the Lithuanians to teach them how to fight. Poland failed at fighting Brandenburg over Pomerelia so they asked the Order to do it for them in exchange for cash, then when the Poles elected not to pay the Order the Grand Master kept West Prussia to make up the difference. 14th century: good times.

Delete the huge amount of anti-Polishism and bias, then yes, pretty much.

I'm kinda getting tired of people making Poland look bad, the 14th century was Poland's first Golden age when Poland was arguably the strongest nation in Europe (by arguable, maybe France was even at the time), and Prussia was Poland's Vassal till the partitions, and Poland was always stronger then the order. But i give up trying, i am getting seriously bored with this useless argueing.

I guess you guys just have to much of a superiority complex to even rethink your opinion about Poland. (ie. bloody eastern slavic commie russian bastards). I officially give up trying, Poland is Eastern European, because you guys think you are to superior for anything otherwise, even to accept the greats of your own kin. (Yes, Poland is Western Civilization's child, not Eastern)

I think i'm going to not post as much in OT, as much as i love the people of OT, i have a Midas touch on topics that makes things turn into Poland threads, and i'd rather not have to deal with such anti-Poland banter.

you know, last one, if people get enraged by silly things, the people around them tend to start poking on them.

Last one, here is a simple solution to your Poland issue, people won't discuss it as long as they don't know you're from there. I suggest changing you location from Poland, to Poleland, and everyone will think your Santa Claus' neighbor. After that you just have to watch out for those pesky North Pole vs. South Pole comments ( I don't care that there technically is no land at the North Pole, I still consider it a "land"! )

I think me being Polish is a well known fact around here.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Well then you simply put this in your signature "You know the whole thing where I told you guys I was Polish and I lived in Poland, yah, it was all a joke, I really live in Poleland, the wondrous land where instead of Humans hunting clams, clams hunt humans, and you wear shoes on your head and hats on your feet, and where cars drive you..."

One month time!!!

I'm already packing up, and i'll be moving sometime around June 28th, since the container leaves on the 25th. The container should arrive a day or two after my arrival. I'll stay with my cousins in Caracas for half a week.

And actually, i'm not worried at all. All the bad stuff you hear about Venezuela in the mews is overhypped by the media, and seeing as i'm going to be living in one of the safest and best cities in latin america, Merida, (which is safer then a majority of American cities) i don't think i'll have anything to worry about. I can honestly believe that this chapter in my life will be great, prosperous and perhaps the best opportunity i will be given in my life.

Also, i'd appreciate it if the mods delete some of the tags in this thread.

you should have a special code word if things are as bad as western media makes it out to be so we can go rescue you

Vennisula? Isn't that communist?

Venezuela is technically a federal presidential republic, or basically a democracy that as of February, presidents can have an unlimited number of terms in office.

Like Canada, for example.
