UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

i will say this. Polish are very big drinkers. we just aren't violent ones for some reason. usually someone will drag our ass home if we get piss drunk or we will just sleep at the house we drank at. most other cultures people will become loud, obnoxious and very violent. when Polish people drink they usually tell stories of wtupid or funny things they've done b4. most of the time its men sitting at a table laughing the entire time.

they get loud, but not the kind of loud when they start screaming: "hey....hey.... I love you man....no no, i really do.....and i'm not just say..sy...sayin that cuz i'm drunk man....i love you"

its really fun to be around Polish drunks....if you can understand them. even if you can't its pretty damn funny. Seems like every Polish person has a different laugh when they drink. Anyone else notice this??

Poland is one of the highest drinking countries in the world. #1-Russia, #2- Ireland and so on. we are in top 10. but we have the "good drunks" if you wanna call it that. It's just hard to find drunk guys/girls walking the streets of Poland in the A.M. like you can in US or UK.

Genealogy / Poland- Stories from the Ancestors Homeland [20]


Thats because of the good old Polish hospitality and generosity. Why do you think we set an extra place at the dinner table during Xmas? (Well hopefully most people still do, my family does even in the US)

We really surprise people in the US. They don't expect a complete stranger to be so nice. Every time someone comes over my mom forces them to have coffee, some tort cake, and then stay for dinner. They won't be able to leave on an empty stomach. Against the family laws.

Love / Foreigners in relationships with Poles - do your in-laws accept you? [66]

haven't you seen : "Legacy of Steel" ? that movie not teach you anything?

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]

hmmm.....I like the German people

i dis-like their government, i might change my mind in a few years if they make clear that Poland will be an Ally for good. :)

History / Katyn- forgiven and forgotten? [111]

most of Russia's people are ashamed of the Katyn massacre. I have quite a few Russian and Ukranian friends here in the US. They are all nice people, open minded, and don't hate anyone for their nationality. We are pretty good friends and everything.

One day in my American History class, my teacher mentioned the Katyn Massacre. I guess my Russian friends went home and asked their father about it. The next time i went to their house, their father asked me questions about it and what i knew about it. I told him that many Polish citizens were murdered by Soviet troops and buried in trenches. He said: "I hope you don't hold that against us. It was the unnecessary murder of cousins. Poles, Russians, and all Slavs are too good a people to be killing each other like this. My only regret is that the damn Russian government won't apologize for it. We moved to the US because Putin is a heartless man seeking personal gain." - exact words, i will never forget them.

He went on to tell me that his grandfather was a soldier that was ordered to kill some Poles. He said that he didn't want to do it, but he was forced to and later went crazy because he couldn't live with himself.

I've also talked to other Russians, on visits to the US from Russia, who hope that a war happens soon with the Poles and Russians fighting together instead of each other. Also, i've heard teh following quote from many Russians: "Remember Stalingrad.....remember Warsaw" Is this a popular thing???? I never knew that they made heroes out of the defenders of Warsaw.

I think that the Slavic nations couldn't live without each other. Imagine, Poles, what woould life be like without "The damn Ruskis" ?? hmm? yeah, its hard to think about. I'm sure they feel the same way :)

Russians and Poles, the people at least, get along fine with each other. As long as both groups are educated and not ignorant, we won't have to worry about fighting each other ever again.

As for the Germans, they might still hate us....but who honestly gives a damn? Be nice to them, don't criticize them for WW2, don't say they are all still Nazis. Things can only get better, and they will over time. :) I hate nobody, i am open to hear your thoughts on Poles, and hope that you will listen to my thoughts about you. :)
