Correct me if I'm wrong... Poland broke away and became independent from Russia during the Russian Civil War.

Poland's east was Russia. West is Germany.

"In the chaos to the east the Polish forces set out to expand there as much as feasible... "

That statement reads to me as though Polish forces tried to capitalise on the mayhem in Russia and took advantage of the situation.

The word "almost" was required.

If you were not indoctrinated into a specific school of thought, you would not have asked that ignorant question.

OP was referring to the most recent war before Soviet Russia invaded Poland for the last time.

^_ My history lectures here do not in anyway reflect my opinion about the current situation in Ukraine. That is besides the point I'm trying to make here.

To bad for you, the world doesn't look at India's satellite-rockets as an ICBM military program, when the level of threat is far below any country on the planet. India has never invaded another country in over a millennia. It is the only country to be supplied by NSG whilst not having signed the NPT. Any takers?

It is becoming harder and harder to get IPs allocated from RIRs now.

RIPE NCC now refuses to assign provider independent IP space for any sized request.

Every now and then the right wing British media start hating on immigrants.

Through out last year there was the big hype of Bulgarian and Romanian immigration wave from Jan 1, 2014. It is 2014 now, where has all the hype gone? Barely an article or two a month now compared to the twice weekly in 2013.

This sort of thing cultivates racism. IMO.

For a change, I know that there are like minded people here :)
Felt rather alone for a while.

If there was ever a reason to like the United States of America, this is it.

I hope more people like you still exist on that piece of land.

Finally!

I thought all hope was lost on /.ers after reading the first few comments.

Such a shame that we are rare.

Maybe business isn't right for you. I'm not sure if they teach these life experiences in your business schools, but that's how the world really works. If you want to enforce that contract through lawyers, that will be the last contract you'll ever enforce. If you are seen as hawkish, people will be reluctant to come to you.

I really don't like talking down to kids :)

I'm live in Bangalore :)

You still haven't made one useful point in all your posts in this thread. You've simply accused the government yet not offered a single solution. You've accused me of being an outsider, yet you disgrace yourself of being an Indian. You apparently aren't educated at all, did you just finish school?

Again I ask you, where are you and what background do you have with anything related to policies of this country?

Do you really know what it takes to run the government of the largest democracy? You just seem like a kid blaming the government for all your personal short comings.

Let me know when you have something useful to contribute.

And replace them with bums like yourself?

I'm sorry but that's not a solution. You just have a political view, not a solution. You need to read and learn a lot more.

As much as I'd like to leave this non-productive conversation, it bothers me that people with half-baked information get so loud and unruly. Hence, the need to comment :P

For the uneducated souls like yourself, the term "neocons" abbreviates for neo-conservatism. A fancy word for politically right-wing nut jobs. There are neocons in US, UK, India and in most democratic countries in the world. Surely, you jumped the gun too early. I suppose thats expected since you've been doing that with all your previous citations.

Dumb people like you will always exist. But that's the beauty of India, ignorant people like you do get a chance to speak and we call that right democracy.

I have travelled across the world visiting a wide spectrum of political and religious countries. From Afghanistan to Israel, England to Thailand. I don't need to justify my thoughts and work to the likes of you. You like calling names, lets hear your credentials.

As for the RSS, they are the lowest living souls in this country. Hooligans that this nation hosts in Mumbai. You should have watched MNS Secretary General earlier last night, he used the phrase "super Ghandhisim" on live national television reflecting on the Mumbai police's "softness" on Aug 14th. He openly said that he wanted the Mumbai police to murder civilians during the unrest earlier this month just like the 1992 massacres (were you even born then?). BJP is very closely allied with these right-wing political parties.

I hope for the sake of humanity that we never see such idiots in the Centre. They are only a source of embarrassment to this nation. While the Congress is far from perfect, I do not see any other political party even remotely suitable to even understand our sensitive country.

You look like a depraved Hindu who would happily stand in Godse's shoes, on count. You seem not to understand the difference between corruption and democracy, I guess such understanding is for higher beings than yourself. Oh wait, racism runs in your blood. Ignorance is what is in your head. There is not much anyone can expect from you.

Have a wonderful evening and good night.

Have you ever in your life read the articles you cite here entirely or are you just trying to type something to take my screen space? Let me quote...

1- Congress did deliver on its promise when they were in power for building homes.
2- BJP stays in power for two decades. Screws it all up and does nothing.
3- Congress now makes a new commitment to build more homes if put in power and you suddenly have a problem with that?

Why? They have delivered to their previous commitment. If not entirely, atleast more than the current BJP government.

People like you will always exist to complain and cry but have nothing to offer for a solution. JFK:- Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

Well, if you have incapable and right-wing opposition parties like the BJP/NDA, you'll never see anyone but the Congress in power. You think the minorities in this country are ever going to vote for these right wingers? When was the last time one of these parties had a stance in J&K? Remember that India has a significant minority population and a very large tolerant majority population.

Blame the Congress to have held power that they don't deserve only when you have a deserving opposition party. That said, the next election might be the best chance any other party can get because of the Centre's mighty publicized failings in the past 8-9 years; but I still doubt it since the BJP has voiced its neocon nature already.

You blame the party at the Centre of rigging everything down to the States. Let me ask you, has anyone of the opposition parties agreed to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill? Coming elections, you gotta pick the lesser of the two devils.

I have no allegiance with any party in this country. I simply vote for the representatives of the more secular and tolerant party. Give me an alternate to the Congress that is more secular and tolerant, I'll vote for them. Regardless of how good they are in building the economy of this country (or other matters), I'd like to first stop any bloodshed within the country (thread topic?).

You seem to be like the one who'll only criticise the government yet offer no solution to the problem. I think I'll stop wasting my time going around in circles for a person who can't offer anything for this country.
