Life / How are people from Warsaw viewed and why? [20]


Can't give you an answer specifically for Warsaw, but my guess is it's probably based on "big city" predjudices. In the US, New York City people are characterized by many as being very cold and unfriendly. In Los Angeles, people are considered somewhat flaky with no morals. In the midwest, people are thought of as somewhat hickish or dimwitted. These are all stereotypes. Not to say these characterizations are not true in some cases, but as with any city anywhere in the world, you are going to find diversity. The people I personally know from these cities and region are nothing like the stereotypes (just like your girlfriend and the people you have met in Warsaw.)

Oh definitely---the movie is a classic!


I know what you mean, Miranda. Drink up!:)


Then you know what scene I'm talking about, don't you KS? Where the little old lady brings a pie to the sheriff for taking care of Mongo. I'm laughing right now just thinking about it (and I haven't even had any wine).

That made me laugh too, but for a different reason. Have either of you seen the movie "Blazing Saddles." It's a hilarious Mel Brooks movie from the 70's and there's a scene in it that reminds me of what Miranda just wrote about not telling anyone she complimented Bojo.

OK I'm done---sorry to have interrupted the Racists thread!

News / Polish Campaign: "I protect my life against cervical cancer" [5]


I just happened to read today that some states are wanting to make it a law that all 11 or 12 year old girls get vaccinated against HPV. I'll try to find the article and post the URL for you.

This is not the article I read today, but it basically is saying the same thing.

UK, Ireland / Meeting Polish girls - where do they hide in London? [60]


Come on Miranda, you are a smart, innovative gal. If I can figure out how to do it, then anyone can!:) I definitely would be in remedial computer class, if I were taking one. I'm probably the most computer illiterate person on this forum. Don't let me put you to shame!:)

Please show me where I hurled insults and furthered ignorant stereotypes.

Perhaps you would like to be consistent and follow your own advice! Of course, I wasn't wanting a debate; I just asked a simple question.:)

I caught that also (although I believe it was ship yeard---2 words), but I figured my degree from a state university didn't qualify me to question the spelling of an "Ivy Leaguer":) especially since I haven't check the latest editions of the Oxford or Webster's dictionaries to verify.......Makes you wonder about his credibility though, doesn't it?


I do want to state for the record, just because someone performs manual labor, that does not mean they are stupid. Some of the hardest working people I know in what some would consider menial or hard labored jobs happen to be very intelligent. None of them claim to have degrees of higher learning, though.

I'm just curious as to how you use your Ivy League Degree working in the shipyard or do you use it for the shipyard? Not trying to be a smarta$$, just truly curious.:(

You mean you thought I had taken it seriously? Oh BW (shakes head), I thought you knew me better than that. The reason I said it was you originally, because I knew you had the same kind of sarcastic humor as the poster. Wasn't trying to knock anybody. As I said, I thought it was a pretty clever way to express a point of view.:)

Feedback / Thank you admin [52]


That was was my whole point----don't know why admin marked out the names I mentioned----like you said, all of you guys have similar opinions and aren't ashamed of it. Personally, I thought it was pretty funny and a humourous way for the author to express his/her view.

That's the most poignant statement I've read all day. Very true! Thanks, Styles.

It's all good, Admin. but the guys I was thinking of have the same views, so they aren't that unique.:)

Didn't say he wasn't in the wrong. But hey, she knew what she was getting into, so I say, more power to both of them. If they're both happy, then screw what everybody else says or thinks!

They both are in the wrong---like I said, it takes 2 to tango.
