USA, Canada / Why would someone leave Poland for the US? [120]

Until recently it was the power of the mighty dollar, mostly, that drew Poles to America. Opportunity and pay were better in the U.S. and your money goes farther here.

I understand most goods cost 1/3 more in Poland than the U.S.

Btw, it is emigrating when you leave a place and immigrating when you arrive.

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Mass immigration is a problem.

Yes it is. Particularly when the immigrants are from a, umm… different culture, and all that “rich diversity” takes its toll on the existing. But then the influx of the ones the US is enduring aren’t likely to buy a lot of land. This is worse.

I can understand Ola’s frustration. People get frustrated and angry when they feel their government isn't doing enough on behalf of the country. But do not fear capitalism. The opposite is worse.

Life / I loved Poland when I visited and I want to live there. [20]

It's definitely way easier for you to move to Poland than a Pole to move to the US.
At least I think so.

Why do you say?

I am in the same boat. My wife is from Poland and although my kids were born and raised in the U.S., the speak fluent Polish.

Where did you meet your wife? In the U.S. or in PL?

Life / Polish Fireflies [23]

Plenty of lightning bugs in the U.S. They are quite cool to observe if you never have.

we use to smash them together and make glow paint

Ah, childhood memories! We used to use it like Indian war paint.

Love / Just found out polish GF is married [6]

Don't pressure the poor girl. That's asking a lot of someone. Gays often view others who are not out as problematic, as an obsticle to overcome. While there may be good reason for her to feel as she does. And right now it is who she is. It is her choice, not some inconvienient problem for you to try and get her to correct to suit you.

News / More and more jobs moving to Poland from other parts of Europe... [50]

Although Polish government is a disgrace, their reaction to the crisis is quite decent. In comparison with most of western Europe they became champions of liberalism.

Just be careful the Libs don’t go too far with their “fixes”, as is presently the case in the U.S.

It is my understanding that the employment situation in Poland has improved somewhat in recent years after being a problem for so long. If they can stave off a backslide during this rough economic period they should make out ok.

History / The movie Defiance is a big lie (heroes that saved Poland suppored communism) [102]

Many Polonians are disgruntled over the film. Some see it as a deliberate attempt to distort history and glamourise Jewish anti-Polonism. Haven't seen the film so I'm only relaying some of the remarks that have come my way. Sad to say, there were acts of anti-Semitism and instances of Polish collaboration with the Nazis, because war is hell and survival is the sole aim of most everyone. But there was also widespread anti-Polish Jewish collabroation with the Soivets which led to the jailing, killing and exiling of hundreds of thosduands of Poels. Also direct acts of perfidy such as self-styled Jewish red militias shooting Polish soldiers in the back. That aspect of the war has been conveniently hushed up or glossed over.

Great post.

No one should believe anything they see come out of Hollywood. The lying Liberals there who rule that intellectually dishonest and morally corrupt place insert their one-sided political messaging into everything they produce anymore.

They long ago abandoned any semblance of honor or balance or fairness or pure entertainment for “entertainment” sake. Instead their every offering is designed as a vehicle to serve an underhanded agenda of manipulating perceptions.

In this same way they have hijacked our News Media to the point where we can no longer trust or believe the simplest “news” story. Liberals abuse and corrupt to being worthless everything they get their hands on. Their warped ideology void of morals deliverd via movies and TV and “news” has caused untold harm to society.

In America now Hollywood folks are roundly dismissed as snobby, rich radical Liberal kooks, out-of-touch elitists who are incapable of running their own lives properly and yet they ever attempt to dictate to the world how they feel others should think and how things should be. Why would anyone listen to such people?

Stop giving these sneaky lowlife liars your hard-earned money. Spend it on some other form of unpolluted entertainment.

Life / How do Poles feel about non whites/non Slavs living in Poland? [150]

See how the PC enforcers come out of the woodwork trying to stifle opposing views by making all sorts of shrill and angry accusations. Pay them no mind. This is nothing but a dishonest, coercive attempt to silence speech so that only their views get aired. Such Liberalism is a whole lot more offensive than anything I or others have posted here in a forum designed for free exchange of ideas. Such bullied political correctness will spell the end of society as it provides aid and comfort to enemies by enabling them.

Life / How do Poles feel about non whites/non Slavs living in Poland? [150]

So Eastern Europe is suffering under all that “rich diversity” too, as we are here in the US.
Why is it that such people want to come to our lands but you never see great numbers of us going to their lands?
And when did it become “racist” to express a little national or ethnic identity pride when these others do so freely all the time? That’s a double standard.

Wake up, folks. Or you risk your culture being overrun. You’re being overrun by political correctness run amok and it will spell the end of your national and ethnic identity while the others maintain theirs. In some areas this is a calculated effort.

Life / You know you're Polish when... ? [111]

I used to think in Polish, then convert it to English until I left school. But once I started thinking in English and converting to Polish

Being only fluent in English I often wondered this. I asked a Polish girl and she had to pause and consider it. She then said that she thinks in Polish but speaks in English.

I understand the Polish language is one of the more difficult to master.

News / is o2.pl only for poland emails? [21]

Several years ago I met and fell in love with a Polish girl while she was visiting here in America. We exchanged email addresses and she urged me to keep in touch. Hers was a o2.pl address and mine Hotmail. But when I tried to email her they would get bounced back as "delivery failures" with no further explanation. And I could find no reason or fix offered online or at the o2.pl site. I know the address she gave me was good because one email finally got through. But the problem continued and we were unable to keep in contact. I have since heard that others have experienced similar problems when trying to email o2.pl addresses from the USA. I never thought in this day that email would be a problem. Had I known I would have insisted upon exchanging other contact info. Technology glitches come with real world costs. Hard lesson learned: Get postal and telephone info. :(
