Genealogy / BRZOSKA, EISNER, MYATSKA - any of these sunrames in your Polish ancestry: [6]

I have heard of Miazga which is the only surname I can think of that resembles Myastaka. Is that the spelling after emigration? It might have changed sometimes they change drastically.

Language / The best way for me to learn Polish [89]

Polish is hard. I think it's categorized as one of the hardest languages to learn because of the 14 different cases. I'm trying to master it now and knowing russian has helped a lot. One thing that many people forget is that you have to make sure you know your alphabet and the pronunciations this way you won't misspell words and pronunciation will be a lot better. Seems like common sense but with older people it's kind of neglected. Also watch polish tv and listen to polish radio it will help. Then study of course !

Language / Capital Letters at the start of Polish words. [26]

are there any things that you capitalize that might catch you off guard?

Language / Who wants a Linguaphone Polish Course...? [30]

I heard Rosetta stone was good? Has anyone used it for polish?

Language / Who wants a Linguaphone Polish Course...? [30]

yeah my boyfriend downloaded all of them so I have most of them at my disposal just didn't know if they were worth the time. When I was younger I tried russian with the rosetta stone and it totally skipped the basics. But I'll be damned I'll never forget what a malchek is haha.

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

I think drinking and ridiculing drinking at an early age is ethnocentric. A lot of your own ideals are cultural constructs and just because people smoke or drink at a different age than when you did does not mean they have problems.

Also if you think mj makes pudding out of your brain, your head must be filled with S***

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]


Maybe they lacked motivation. Some of the smartest people I've ever known were smokers and I'm sure you've known some smart motivated people who did too.

Whats wrong with being German or Russian besides not being Polish

Love / HELP: Getting married in Poland not in a Catholic Church [12]


That made me laugh!

Travel / Is there a limit to the number of trips in 1 year to Poland? [21]

Depends on where your from. I believe if your an EU citizen it might be easier to get a landing visa.

UK, Ireland / I'm pregnant with my Polish boyfriend. Visa question. [25]

Yea I don't think just because it's born in the Uk means it has citizenship. I know in Ireland if you have a kid there it doesn't get citizenship if the parent doesn't and I think they recently passed that law too.

News / Weak US dollar in Poland and other countries... [180]

"On one issue particularly worrisome to American consumers, there are indications that paying $4 for a gallon of gasoline is not out of the question once the summer driving season arrives. Asked about that, Bush said "That's interesting. I hadn't heard that. ... I know it's high now."

What Bush said this morning in his speech about how America is not in a recession just a "SLOW DOWN"

Okay, if you watch the news in any other country than America they've been saying there has been a recession for a while but apparently things are just "slow"

Love / Shall we go back to interracial relationships for a bit? [50]


yeah and my guess is with an attitude like that the only action you get is stuff you pay for.

Life / You know you're Polish when... ? [111]

your dad doesn't care what you do or what time you're home, as long as your mom said it was okay. if your dad calls you and proceeds to yell at you to come home, you only need to say "ale mama wie gdzie jestem i powiedziala ze moge zostac jeszcze dwie godziny..." and he promptly replies "oh. okay. have fun then," and hangs up.

News / What do Polish friends think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? [226]

I think all of them have the basis for better International relations than Bush has had and any improvement is good on the international level.

In american politics although they might have plans they want to enact domestic policy is something the senate has a hold of.

News / What do Polish friends think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? [226]


You know thats what I think too. But the other day I was on msn.com and one of the headlines was Bush voted as one of the best presidents and I was thought that had to be a joke. You know who is really bad is the guy Bush appointed to the United Nations John Bolton. Man that guy is a xenophobic ass hole and represents the worst part of Americans to one of the IGO. The thing I can't wait for is a new cabinent hopefully there will be some highly educated non biased members. I'm so tired of the prejudice and moral majority here.

News / What do Polish friends think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? [226]

As long as your not an illegal alien, a atheist, or a homosexual. I mean don't get me wrong I'm not oblivious to prejudice in other countries but I can't stand it when people try to force others to follow their own moral codes.

News / What do Polish friends think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? [226]


I think in the world of politics it's very easy to get a bad public image because of things like this. However I know I personally have changed my views on things in the last couple of years so I think its really negative to put such a connotation on "flip flopping". I know in the last election that was a huge thing

News / What do Polish friends think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? [226]


I think there are places in the Us like Texas (where I currently live) that being Gay or Atheist hinders your ability to be successful. Of course being gay are constantly discriminated against where as being an athiest it isn't as bad. Gays are constantly excluded from jobs, private clubs, and in some cities the whole society is completely against there lifestyle. I mean there have even been bills in the Us senate to make it unconstitutional to be gay.

News / What do Polish friends think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? [226]

Yeah tell me about it. I know that the whole country is not like that, but unfortunately thats just where I president right now is from and his ideologies show that . I'm just ready: moving out of texas and a new president.

Yeah, i think thats true. You know the candidates on the democratic nomination are very very alike. The only thing that is really different is there universal health care plan.
