USA, Canada / Why Americans of Polish orgin do not exist in the USA politics? [34]


heres one example. pacmi.org/history.htm

1944 - 2004

Organization of the Polish American Congress at the May 28-30,1994 Convention in Buffalo, N.Y. was a significant, proud achievement for U.S. Polonia. Initiated by the combined leadership of the POLISH NATIONAL ALLIANCE, POLISH ROMAN CATHOLIC UNION, POLISH WOMEN'S ALLIANCE, and the NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF AMERICANS OF POLISH HERITAGE, it united diverse (frequently rival) groups in a common cause. Registered delegates numbering 2,257 included representatives of fraternal organizations, clubs, business groups, professional, cultural and educational institutions, religious orders, and clergy. Also present were over 5,000 registered guests. Michigan was represented by 323 delegates, including 21 Roman Catholic priests, 3 Polish National Catholic priests, and 132 women (2 of them nuns).

Zimmy the emptiness is from expelling, its natural to feel empty after a good long :)

and yes we will pitch in and get you a shrink zimmy.. but I must tell you I dont like
labels. I still think your a great person, no matter what anyone thinks ;0)

now.

its all a load of bullshyt ( stats) my husband grew up father less and he doesnt feel
anything for his still alive father who left him in the middle of detroit riots ( with his
mom) no protection- never came home.

his last contact was when he was 12 years old and he called to wish him a happy
birthday after 12 years of being absent.
my husband said .. ok, gave the phone back to his mom and went out to hang with
his friends.

he didnt care cause the guy was never there to begin with from day one.

many children do just fine.. those who blame their fatherless homes use it as a scapgoat
to get treated that way so they can get more drugs..in jail if they say , yeah I am
depressed because my unlce joe raped me, come on Zimmy, they are raping each
other in jail , you cant even go by those stats, theres other factors , some of those
drugs dealers had dads.. and come from rich homes.. its all choice.

you play you pay.. simple.

USA, Canada / Why Americans of Polish orgin do not exist in the USA politics? [34]

[quote=Ironside] I wounder if such lobby exist or maybe is so weak that its influence amount to zero?

why all the sudden do you feel such interest in Polish-American influence?

does Poland have such influence on the rest of europe? is polands influence weak
and amount to zero because it sits in the middle of europe?

as for the political scene, what types of influence would you like to see ironside?

:)

I dont believe we have zero, its a combination of influence, it cant be from one
country since we have so many people from different nations living here and mixed
families with multiple ethnic background.

Theres really not a huge need to have huge influence ( when it comes to us)
because anything said should be something that benefits the whole country
not just the polish americans..

Love / Girl just interested, or a hooker? [30]


this thread has nothing to do with relationships, your not asking her for a date, and
she isnt polish, just a girl, so why is it that this thread was allowed to stay in this
section?

and who really gives a crap if you see some chick lookin at you.

the title even reads girl just interested? or hooker

you dont even know who she was or anything so trash this!!

makes the site look terrible, people like you need to go to psych docs if you cant
figure out life on your own to ask such stupid questions.

Love / Girl just interested, or a hooker? [30]


no I dont, because this thread is obviously going to hit the trash eventually
hes not specific on anything, and talking about putting acid in his eye balls
thats more harsh then anything I could dish out.. sad


well if he loses his sight then he wont see those girls who are supposedly flirting
with him or at least he wont know if one is a hooker or not.
guess he will have to respect them all then wont he!!


dear Polishmeknobhead <~what/who has a name like this. someone without respect.
I cant help it if you dont know how to ask good questions and cant figure out
life..

but at least your second response was normal. its funny how people come
back with OH my god I was not meaning anything by it, then dont say it!!

you didnt say she is polish, or that you live in poland so who would even know
this..

heres your first post


Nothing in this post tells me your in Poland, or she is polish, anyone can stand
at a bus stop. in any country

and there are people from all over the world visiting this site, it could have been
anywhere.

I have to ask, did all you guys who posted, actually think or know he was talking about
a Polish girl in Poland? or did you think this was just a girl in general?

anyways, I made my point.

Love / Girl just interested, or a hooker? [30]


fair enough,

Ive been a long time member, its really old seeing same old questions, new people
come in all the time, your post appeared to be like someone we recently ousted
for his bad behavior..


actually I was in a good mood, thought I would visit the forum and see my old
friends, then I see the thread.. it set me off.. all the threads the women create
never have I seen a thread that asks is he a slut or am I just thinking hes a slut?
is he a bastard or was I just imagining it??

and I never see women take on names like LICKMEPOLISH..

yeah, I wasnt born yesterday, so what ever you want to think go ahead

it also upsets me because this is supposed to be a site for everyone, but
of course theres alot of things children shouldnt see, yet we have had
young ones come in and ask questions about poland and culture..

Hookers exist in every culture.. so again, if you think its legit, ok


I am sure you have, I didnt say there wasnt hookers, what he posted
appeared to me as troll..

its not like anyone on this site knows him or how he is, so I am supposed to be
nice just because you are and I took offense to it?
ok, whatever, well I wont apologize for reading a post in a public forum that I
thought was a troll.. we have had alot of them, with names similar to his!
responsible and respect both start with capital R , be more responsible and respectable.


Thats LONG TIME MEMBER Stupid people to you POLISHMEKNOBHEADWITHNOBRAINS


it also represents a derogatory statment as in Polish my/me Knob/dick/Prick etc etc.
so why would you think thats a proper name to use in a polish forum.
I hear guys talk slang, that is not specific to you. so please spare me the explaination
because to me it appears sarcastic.

Love / Need help figuring out a polish guy [55]

[quote=Confused]I met a polish guy last night for the first time, and we were immediately attracted! We hit it off real well, we kept staring at eachother... we met through friends. One thing lead to another, and I ended up at his place. It was pretty clear that we were going to sleep together, and there wasn't much talk about doing anything otherwise. I have read that polish men can be romantic and kind, and I noticed that... but other things happened that confused the american girl in me.

We woke up the next morning and was set on making me breakfast. He went and got bread then made me scrambled eggs, and asked if I wanted to lay in bed and watch a movie... we talked a bunch, cuddled a bunch, and he was very attentive. How do I tell if they were signs of further interest in me or just some kind of after-morning polish etiquette?

Confused, I cant help you on this , I am sure someone can, but I want thank you
for not calling this man whom you were with anything else but that!! a man.

your question might be similar to others, as is your situation, but the one thing
I noticed is the lack of respect a select few ( could be more but whos counting)
have for women and classify them before they even know them..

names other then what they are, I guess this will always be a problem in why
men and women clash ( because they think so badly at times) Not all do, its sad
though to see it posted in a forum, and its considered a legit question , when
you come in , asking for advice, not knowing fully the situation yourself, not calling
out names, just asking, and using the Word Polish because you obviously are new
and yet you mananged to use Polish in your paragraph to let the readers better understand your situation.. cause it could have been a engish guy or American guy right!!

yes, yes again, I am making a point, I really do hope you find /figure out your
delimma, its not easy meeting someone, having so many culture differences and
not knowing.. it sounds like you two hit it off pretty well though..

best of luck to you both :)

Love / Need advice with Polish girl, I like her but she has a boyfriend. [114]


thats so negative ;)


LAgirl,

you need to stop for a moment and think.. why are they cheating?
is it habitual? was he married prior to you> once a cheat always a cheat?

do you continually go after boys that are bad?? bad boys are nice for a moment
but not for the long haul.

as they say, nice guys always finish last, maybe you need to go to the last part
of the line instead of the front of the line! sometimes people go for the wrong choices
and if you keep seeking in the same net, the fish will all be the same..

sounds corny, but its true.

Love / Why are more Polish girls marrying Americans? [77]


I agree here.

not to mention all those people from other countries who want to get married to
become citizens in the U.S. and divorce soon as they can, with no strings attached.


lmao


good call.


yes, because hes prob going to put a smile on for his friends but how do you know
deep down hes not feeling any pain ?
how many men do you know actually show their feelings outright in front of all their
buddies? or any of their friends?? maybe when they are alone with one of
their very very close friends whom they trust with everything they tell them.

my husbands friend is going thru a stage, he will ask me advice, then when all the guys
are around, hes all happy, drinking beer, talkin **** about his girl, but when everyone leaves, he gets tears in his eyes and he shows his real side and wants to know what he

is doing wrong, but calls her the big b.

its just a show.. reality is they all hurt, she does , he does. they just put on their
happy face and move on. what else can they do?

Life / Deadly Roads - "Are polish roads really THAT dangerous?" [139]


I think saftey should always be the first thing, what is unsafe about the road itself
and what could be done to make it safer for drivers.. was there a sign directing you
properly, what caused the accident? what could have prevented it?
was their something on the road? ice, was the pavement bumpy or was their
slick spots?

lots to consider..

I have a smaller car now and I do not feel safe on the roads, especially the highway
because the car feels like its swaying when you hit a bump its not handling well and
so once this is payed off I am off to turn it in for new mid-size car or back to a suv
truck.

USA, Canada / Why Americans think that nobody likes them? [185]


alot of times people are talking about govt VS the people.

UK, Ireland / Polish driver dies as car shears in half... [38]


thats the same question I thought to myself.
if any of my friends come over, I take their keys, and I will either make them
stay over , or call a cab if they insist on going home.

in the story it states he recieved a phone call and sped off.. that his friend was
unable to stop him, he prob was unable to stop him because he was in the same
condition.

people do stupid things, but I know I would never say I am glad they are dead.
thats just wrong.

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]

[quote=Gunslinger44]Ah, but "give the woman her choice" in this case means "let a child be killed by a sharp instrument, or by chemical attack". This I cannot countenance. And neither should you.

so you have a 14 year old daughter, she is beaten and raped by a lets say
45 year old junkie ( needle junkie) who has Hiv, hepatitis B, and genetically
speaking, the child will be born with some type of neurological disorder where
he will need 24 hour care and machines to help keep him alive.

meantime, your 14 year old is suffering from multiple diseases, <~treatable in
early stages prior to having this child.

you wouldnt have mixed feelings about this?

I understand what your saying, that, this child , no matter how its concieved is
still a living being, but, we also have to realize the devastation caused on certain
intervention like the 14 year old who was attacked in this thread.

those rape cases, most of the women might turn out to be abusive to the child
from the scars of their ordeal.... I doubt this is taken into consideration.
not saying thats the case for all though.

I do think that medical intervention/not political intervention should be used more
in such cases, and that spiritual intervention should be there to support those who
do have faith and want forgiveness when our lives are interuppted with such horrible
circumstances. and to not condem those who need them most.

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]


ectopic pregnancy is life threatening, should the 14 year old girl go thru with abortion
or should she accept and listen to princple?

Im not disagreeing with you that abortion is definately risky, but as shelley pointed out
alot safer now then it was back 50-60 years ago when women went into a trailor in
the back of someones house in the country with no clean/steralized equipment ..

the only difference from then to today, now pregnancy is accepted, but your still
shunned by the church for having a child out of wedlock..
I think if they are going to be so political about it, at least make changes in the church
that work with mothers who are single, give them a choice, their voices are heard against
abortion, but where is the help for those single mothers who decided to keep their children?

I would love to see how this child is treated by her neighbors and local parish.
especially being strictly catholic
Again, like I said, I believe the spiritual intervention should be there for the support
needed to help whether they made a choice to adopt or keep or abort.

and I am not saying I am against the church in any way shape or form
thats not whats implied, only that this issue does have pros and cons and
sometimes either isnt the answer. least not for everyone.

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]

well get two opinions first, i read a article where a woman is sueing because the
doctors dx her as ectopic and she ended the pregnancy then they discovered it was
a mistake.. so yeah, lots of controversy on this subject...

and I have edited the above over and over and it wont fix.. no time left, off to work
later folks :)

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]

on some points I agree with you, then you turn it around, Im not confused you are
why dont you slow down before you fall down.. jesus.

I was first talking to gunslinger, then you jumped in, so then I bring forth the subject
of the ectopic pregnancy, and just explain that to women in general to get a 2nd
opinion ( as I explained I read a article) then you think I am speaking directly
at you about that?? LOL


well i am sorry you cant chew gum and walk at the same time, I cant help
you have sometimers disease..

I was trying to be nice, but you have a extreme chip on your shoulder.

and there is controversy, we have two men on the board actually more then two
and the discussion is still going on both opinions, as it is with the women.

I see both points. and theres nothing confusing about agreeing on both points, as
I have said, and I made my opinion clear from the get go..



WHAT??? lol look above at your post , I wasnt arguing with anyone, I am entitled to
my opinion as well, which was directed at gunslinger, then you jumped in so I was
being nice, now your calling me a child because you cant comprehend what I was saying?

I have children, I dont need any lessons from someone who thinks one time
abortion makes them the queen of all clinics. your experience is just that. there
are others who have had abortions safely and privately.

the topic is about a 14 year old girl who was denied abortion, I brought forth examples
of other problems that could arise, and you just dont get it..

please do me a favor, either discuss it like a normal person, or dont respond to my
post.. you can say whatever you want, call me unintelligent all you want.
I have two beautiful girls, caring family, loving hubby, lots of good friends young and
old, you are just another bug who flew up my arse momentarily and I shyt you out!

Pfttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

night folks. :)
Peace!!


adding to this and the above -continuation of my post
I have said my opinion, and stand by it!! circumstances can change in someones life.
and I think that person should be the decision maker.

that rapist didnt give anyone a choice now did he?? we cant as humans go chop
off his penis even though thats what we all want to do because he touched
a baby, hurt a child who will now have a child, in some circumstances I can see
loving families dealing with such situations, but that doesnt happen for everyone.
some children are raped by the parents alcoholic friends who come over for that
reason alone.. there are such things as child pornagraphy and or selling children for
sex, so a 14 year old can get pregnant by some stinky old smelly, dirty rotten foul
moouth man and end up trying to kill herself from the torment, or trying to hurt
the baby for all the abuse she had to withstand..

I am not against anyone, because I think we should have a choice, but I dont believe
in abortion for myself or use as contraceptive.
but shyt happens, and as much as we want to prevent it, or do something about it
there is no good answer to any of it.

you can be totally against it or totally for it.. but thats not the way to be, because
if we ask ourselfs those questions of what would I do if it were me faced with certain
circumstances, I bet your answers would change to suit you, to do the right things
and that might mean having an abortion or not having one..

anyone can say those words to please the ears. sometimes people say things but
what they do is whole different story.

thats where I stand on the subject. because in life, I know what is the right thing to
do for me for my children, but if faced with certain decisions, such as supporting
my children if they were to become pregnant ( I would) and let them make their choice
which would be to have it.. I would be what they need to get thru.

but if we faced imminent abortion,, I would step up same as I am the other way
get my family thru it.. because deep down, I really dont give a flying f what anyone
thinks if they are totally against,, if you choose to support your friends thats fine
but dont expect smiling faces if you become a jerk. try to intervene or stop something
that doesnt involve your presense.

as for people who are radicals about abortion and go around killing these doctors
get some psychiatric help NOW!!!!!

Feedback / LIKE / DISLIKE button - A suggestion to Admin and Moderators [29]


sweet brother, although its a idea that might control the crowd, you dont need buttons
here to get the like and dislike added to a post! soon as someone sees that your response
isnt to their liking they bluntly tell you how much they like it and dislike it..

I think we should have a thumbs up and thumbs down button instead and one that has
a middle finger so when someone really feels mad they can swear without getting in
trouble!! lol
