Mr. Köhler was born in then-Germany, now Poland, and has visited his birthplace, among other places like Warsaw or Gdansk this week.

Theoretically if Poland would conquer a part of China, polish president would be born there and then lost this land, I will never say that he was born in Poland cause he was born in China which was occupied by Poland.

No! No! No! You are not bad!
My Dear, you are right! It isn't nice. It is horrid!!!

You love your Country,and want to protect it, just like we here on FreeRepublic love ours!

When we see those spurning, what our forefathers fought to gain for us, it's hard to see evil people give it away as if it cost nothing. Your Country and ours have fought and shed blood for freedom.

Americans love the Polish people and want your friendship as well.

You......... keep up your attitude, for through that way of thinking, great things have been done throughout history!

God Bless you and we are on your side concerning this. The Germans are not our friends either.
Just look at what they have been pulling on us before and during this war!

Silesia is as much German state, as Louisiana is French one.

Just like on the other side the people of Alsace still speak German and think of themselves as German, but they are now French. Can't think of a better punishment for a German, can you?

Strictly for the record, Danzig had been a German City since way before WWII. (I'm not saying it should go back to Germany now - I recognize that is NEVER going to happen.)

"Danzig, 1557-1660

"While the Hanseatic League experienced a decline, while the Livonian Order disintegrated, the territory of the Teutonic Order, transferred into the Duchy in Prussia, was reduced to insignificance, the Hanseatic city of Danzig continued to flourish, based on her control of the Polish grain export trade; Danzig's Baltic Sea shipping was (a distant) second only to Dutch shipping." http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/eceurope/danzig15571660.html


"In the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, the victorious powers of World War I (the United States, Great Britain, France, and other allied states) imposed punitive territorial, military, and economic treaty terms on defeated Germany. One provision required Germany to cede West Prussia to the newly reconstructed state of Poland. Danzig, largely an ethnically German city, became a "free city" under the protection of the League of Nations (the worldwide organization of states established by the treaty), but with special administrative ties to Poland."

If Mr. Köhler had been born in Paris in 1943 you would have also said the same ?

First I must say that I’m from Gdansk (Germans called Danzig), then I have some knowledge about history of my city. Gdansk was created by Poles in 997, city have more than 1000 years. Germans always want to control Gdansk cause this was one of the most important ports in the Baltic sea, at that time they controlled this city like you wrote, they also moved own citizens to the land that they controlled (it is old German tactic). When Gdansk was “free city”, practically Germans control everything and discriminated the polish citizens. Then I repeat that we cannot call Gdansk and other polish lands “old Germany” cause this was always Poland, polish soil. You can say that Poles got back OWN lands, which were occupied by Germany.

Germany makes soap and shampoo?

Yeah, they do, but since Auschwitz closed they've run out of raw materials.

Maybe their friends in Hamas can help?

Oder-Neisse, Good fences make good neighbors. Claims by Germans for property confiscated in the East should be assumed by the German state. Attempts to reclaim or seek compensation for conquered territories has amounted to one step forward and three steps backward since Bismarck.

You are correct. There are some that don't agree with what they are asking.

But who's the loudest?

But it's the same as here in our Country. The liberal dims, the ACLU, NAACP, adnauseam.................. They are social-communists!
I know you surely aren't going to ask me not to bash them.
Actually, I just thought I was telling the tuth, not bashing. &;-)

There is a reputation that goes before each person and each Country.

That reputation speaks VOLUMNS!

Germany, as a country have shown themselves, not to be the most diplomatic, or democratic concerning other countries. They have a tendency to only "take", not give.

That is what anonymoussierra was complaining about. And she/he has every right to complain about it. At least right here on FR.

Sorry to offend you.

Thank you for this objective comment.
No need to worry, we`re importing the
raw material from Abu Ghraib now.

Sure, because (as far as I know) he wasn´t born in the regions which were considered to be part of the fatherland, but in the occupied territories. However, it is relevant to say that he is born on German soil.

Michael, it cannot be truth cause we don’t have any German soil like you wrote "fatherland" now, historically this all lands were Slavic. If you don’t agree then please write what part of Poland now was German "fatherland", then I will easily proof you that you are wrong.

Your opinion is pretty much, right on.

I do understand what you're saying, though.
These groups are like our Moveon, ACLU, and others, that bring lawsuits for everything!
But never the less...........what they do, doesn't pass the smell test.
