I can feel that you are lookin for an argument...no problem boy , you got it....explain clearly what you mean by "western cvilisation" and I will send you a secret Polish recipe for making a good bigos and sausage . The last one was known to improve the mentality of some westerners,,,but only few .so don't keep your hopes high.
Does the word DUH come to mind? Are you really that dumb that you don't even know such things as this? Why do you even have a Polish citizenship?
Have you heard of...
Fryderyk Chopin.... Paweł Edmund Strzelecki.... Kazimierz Funk... Nicolaus Copernicus... Maria Skloowska-Curie.... Krzysztof Penderecki.... Roman Polanski.... Andrzej Wajda.... JOHN PAUL II
These are just SOME names of Polish people who have made their marks in the world through Science, Music/Entertainment, Politics, Religion.... theres many many that I could add to that list.... and by saying made a mark in the world, I mean they have helped people all around the world and given other hope for the future...
Is he Polish ? I thought he was from Australia.Probably wated to argue with a kangaroo , got kicked in a head and developed a complex about bigos and kielbasa.
hahaha! Yeah he has posted that he is Polish born Australian and that he has both Pl and Au citizenships.... but he is so Anti Pl I dont get why he even has a Polish citizenship? I guess he is one of the unlucky people in the world who have lost connection with their roots... oh well...
I think his favorite meal is probalby McDonalds or ''Hungry Jacks'' (Why change the name from Burger king??), fried kangaroo and vegemite on top sprinkled with pieces of wichedi grups.... the all true Oz meal! :P
I think u r right... i think he got kicked in the head by the kangaroo he was trying to catch for dinner!
Yes, there are so many Poles that contributed to the whole World Society. In the XX centrury the greatest person, IMO, was John Paul II. And what about the Poles whose parents were born in Poland but their children were born as citizens of another country -- in the US, for example, you can very often hear the Polish last name taken by someone influential in that country. I wouldn't be surprised if in this centrury the US will have a president whose last name sounds like "Kowalski".
Sorry mate but no one outside poland has heard of any but a handful of them.Most countries have scientists etc.I think only countries with big contribution to world have been-China,Roman Empire,Ancient Greece,Great Britain,USA,France
Well, when we`re talking about famous Polish immigrants in the US - then one of the most famous is probably Matra Kostyra alias Martha Stewart
and in politics - probably prof. Zbigniew Brzeziński
Well then - lef - perhaps you should educate yourself. You should`t make responsible other people for your lack of knowledge - the only one to blame here is you.
Hmm, that strange...I wasn't able to post the whole message, so there is the second part. Hope this time it will be OK. From Admin - it's easier to provide the link to the source. :)
But that way it doesn't look so impressive, isn't it?? :) hehe
Clearly Poland has poduced super stars, point taken, (I think JP11 is the pick of the pick) but in the last 20yrs there hasn/t been much action....or am I wrong....I heard nothing of medical advances, scrience, new discoveries, it seems to rely on usa and Australia for information and help.
- How about i.e. discovering new planets - our scientists have discovered over 50% of all planets that have been discovered outside our solar system so far..

..not to mention the method of discovering them.
..a method of cureing the Parkinsons diesese by implanting implants into the brain that is being used here since a coupple of years, and there had been over 400 such operations here:
news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-6102458.html - Joanna Rutkowska - a Polish researcher who (legally - for research purposes) hacked the newest version of MS Windows.
Yes, and Jan of Lublin was one of the earliest composers in Western Europe.
It might interest people to know that the great Johann Senastian Bach had a Polish friend, and expressed interest in taking up a church music position in Gdansk!
