Life / Priests in Poland [28]

you get nothing for nothing these days and its what they call user pay.

I'm not trying to advocate anything but... when I was really sick, my local priests prayed for me constantly, asked about me (and still do after all this time) etc.. which I thought was really nice, seeing that I hardly attend their church.

Life / What makes you proud to be Polish? [150]

Something deeply instilled in me for unknown reasons - cry when watching my little cousin dancing in her Polonez group - she's only 6 and has no idea, but in the little get-up, God, she's cute!!

Food / US Blue Cheese Sauce and Cookbooks [9]

Does anyone know of how to make (or the ingredients of the pre-made stuff) that blue vein cheese sauce that you have with buffalo wings? I know they sell it in the supermarkets in the US - maybe someone has a jar of it at home?

Language / Parents Swearing in Polish - doesn't make any sense!! [11]

I have parents who use very colourful language sometimes but when you stop to think about what they're actually saying... it make no sense.. either that or my polish is crap. Sometimes I think it isn't even in Polish...

Kurcze pieczone ( don't know about the spelling) Sounds to me like baked chicken!!

History / Katyn- forgiven and forgotten? [111]

Thanks for this post A. Reading it makes me sick to the stomach - the whole WW2 experience, especially for Poles, is ghastly - I lost family members to the Germans and one at Katyn and everytime someone brings it up, I feel the need to DO something.. but what can one DO that would make a difference?

Poles Apart

After the Berlin Wall came down - now 17 years ago - would you believe East Germans were horrified to discover how many of their fellow citizens had been spies for the notorious Stasi secret police. But now Poland is having its "Stasi moment" with plans to open hundreds of thousands of once-secret files, threatening to expose Poles who collaborated with the country's former Communist regime. Debate is currently raging over whether the process will turn into a full-blown witch-hunt. Even Poland's internationally acclaimed foreign correspondent, the recently deceased Richard Kapuchinski, has been labelled a collaborator. Here's Olivia Rousset.

The government wants to punish people who collaborated with the Communist regime

How will they know what's hear say and who really did?? Sounds dangerous to me.
