Then why don't you concentrate on the terrorists of today rather than making reference to the actions of 1689.

To be honest I never watched any of the qualifying rounds. Maybe the fact that she had already represented Estonia, and never made the final, counted against her.
I'm just guessing.
Why didn't the Super Hero song win? That girl can sing!

Just to start you off.
Polish folk like their tea. And because of this you would have a problem getting them to change brands.

But they did seem to be looking for someone and something particular.

In cases of unruly children, especially visitors, we like to grab them by the ankles and dip them in the river for a few minutes. It usually cures the problem.
My husband and I are going tp Weoclaw next month with our 6 children. Very worried that they may not behave themselves. Will the Poles tolerate them, if they are a bit unruly ?

I think this might be true, but usually we find ourselves speaking to friends. So problems shouldn't really occur.
In my example it was me who made the mistake not the other person.
Okay, so being serious - in an environment where language can shift from one to another mid-conversation or mid-sentence, these yeah/nie and no/no things do become important. Some people can use it as an opportunity to evade answering a question

I made a comment on your original post, based on experience not stereotypes.
I'm sure you are right, but your boyfriend seems to have a problem with it. My replies have nothing to do with stereotypes, you told us how he reacted. So my thoughts are based on the given facts.
I know that you love this guy and that you are looking for a chance to be together. I just don't think it's going to happen for you. And no, I don't enjoy passing on this type of information.
I also feel that you are at a low point at the moment. Please, speak to your friends, people who know you. They are the people who can guide you and help you resolve this situation one way or the other.
it would appear from the post on here that men seem to judge women on "acceptable" norm sterotypes.
