News / Polish-German Relations in the Present [697]

I've said this before, and I will keep saying it...because it's true and it needs to be heard by as many people as possible....

Focusing on pain and suffering holds you firmly to misery. Letting go of pain and suffering releases you to move forward. Everyone has a threshold....meaning that the pain and loss have to diminish to some degree, before the next step can occur. Time helps to relax the pain.

But if you actively contribute to agony and loss, you grow it stronger.
Sometimes we do this unconsciously. Best to be aware of our actions. :)

I'm not surprized at the "Low History IQ" articles. I think more emphasis is placed on math, science and technology in schools. And in US there was a fuss a few years back about "history depends on who's doing the telling" and textbooks were criticised for inaccuracies...

Respect should be shown to the dead, regardless of sides. To me it is humane response to someone's loss.

Bad Witek! Down, down boy! Nooooo, you ate all the honey. Yes you did! Look! Jar's empty. Oh....go whine some where else. :)

USA, Canada / The things Polish people do in the US [46]

"Poles" is already short! It's one syllable :)
I hate anything with more than 2 syllables, I have a terrible habit of shortening and sweetening everyone's name, that I know. That's why I call you "Puzzly", cause its more cuddly that way! :)

USA, Canada / The things Polish people do in the US [46]


Oh my gosh, I do that too! In fact I do all these things. You are right, Poles are no different than Americans. (I think that "Americans" is too long a word. Can we get a diminutive, please? How bout "Ammies"?)

:D

News / What do you think about what the Kaczynskis say about Germans ? [90]


Many people object to that in the US as well. I understand why there are parades (awareness, visiblity), but even a good friend of mine who is gay, feels that the parades generally don't help towards acceptance. It tends to do the opposite.

I think showing that gay people are more like straight folks (have good jobs, families, ect) would improve tolerance.

Nothing to it.
Just don't try to get a ball that's to heavy, unless you want to lose the feeling in your arm.

Here is one thread that addresses Name Day.

Quoting Ella

Quoting: Honeybee
with all that said, How do you say "Happy Name Day" in Polish. The more I think about it, I think we'll have our usual Sunday dinner, with the family, BBQ, beers , etc, and I'll just say Happy Name Day to him. We'll make a bigger deal of his birthday, when the time comes.

I heard that people receive gifts on their names days. Please give an example. This would be for a man.

"Name Day" Polish are celebrating same as Birthday. Any gift is welcome.
Name Day in polish = Imieniny
known greetings: Najlepsze zyczenia z okazji Imienin or ......Wszystkiego
najlepszego z okazji Imienin
