History / Did Ukraine really "steal" Polish land? [302]

Historical aspects between Ukraine and Poland

I get the impression that you harbor a dislike for Ukrainians..if I'm mistaken..please do not get offended.

I know that Poland and Ukraine had problems years ago but I thought that by now, the wounds would have been healed. Maybe not with the older generation who lived through the difficulties but with the younger generation.

Life / Black American Living In Poland [283]

Most black people do NOT want to live around whites

I'm sorry but I don't agree with this statement. Black people can live anywhere they
want, just as white people or whatever race can live anywhere. The thing is the income of families..be it white, black, latino..income keeps certain people in certain areas. If income is low, they tend to live in the same area..if income is high they also tend to live

in the same area..no matter the race. In the area that I live in the new homes sales start at about $500,000, (We don't own such a home) but the people who live here are

from India, Pakistan, Mexico, Korea, Blacks and Whites.

My daughter and her family live about 30 miles away from me, in a new subdivision. Last summer they had a subdivision party to get to know each other and for the children to

get to know each other. I was at the party and I must say that everyone was fantastic
and it looked like The United Nation, every color and nationality.

Food / any Polish good recipes for fish? [10]

Recipe for Orange Roughy

Mix together the following..
little oil
little butter
crushed garlic
salt
pepper
Dry Italian seasoning
lemon juice
Pour over the fish and sprinkle with bread crumbs

bake at 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour..baking time depends on how thick the fillets are
and how many you are baking. The amount of the ingredients also depends on how
many you are making.

Genealogy / Anyone have problems with relatives? Borders of Poland changed over the years [12]

So far I haven't come up with any obstacles but I just started asking my family questions. My Mom has provided a lot of info but unfortunately she doesn't remember a lot of facts..just memories. For instance today I asked what the name of the ship was

that we came to America. She remembers the date July 1, 1950 into New York but
not the name of the ship. My uncle is trying to help me..but he came on a different ship
and different time.

I would like to find more info about my Dad's side of the family but unfortunately, his
older brother has died and the younger brother is very sick..and I don't want to bother him with questions at this time.

LOL. I can't wait to find info on one of my very distant relatives...he is in jail at this time
and I don't know how we are related.

Life / Are Polish People Racist? [1037]

one is to not teach that
color of skin is bad, because this is wrong message when telling them to preserve.

I taught my girls to respect everyone, no matter what color/nationality/religion. In life
we meet good and bad people no matter what they look like. My younger daughter
has a Master's Degree in Early Education, she loves teaching and has chosen to teach in
a diversified school to make a difference as she puts it. She is teaching her sons to
accept everyone for who they are. If parents teach negativity, the child will think that
it's O.K. to be that way. Children learn by example!

UK, Ireland / Welcome to the UK, passport please.... [13]

Now don't laugh at me..my hubby says that I'm out of touch with the world and very naive :)

A few years ago, I met a man that I had known as a boy. I haven't seem him in many
years and while talking with him, he mentioned something about "His Partner" ROFLOL
I asked him what kind of business he was in with his partner..My girlfriend punched me
in my ribs and whispers..don't you know what "A Partner is?"... I was so embarrassed
and didn't know what to say..Thankfully he didn't respond..pretended not to hear me.

Genealogy / Kolonia Ozgowo, Powiat Kostopol [8]

Thank You for the link Kowalski

I just can't understand why there is no info for Ozgowo..wonder if it was so small that it's not on maps. I also checked some sites that have info on Wolyn, some of the sites

list towns/villages but unfortunately no mention of Ozgowo.

Genealogy / Kolonia Ozgowo, Powiat Kostopol [8]

My Mom and Uncle are helping me put together a family genealogy. I would like to include a map of Poland during 1900 but before this area became part of the Ukraine. I would like a detailed map showing villages, towns. I have tried to google the name of

the places that my family were born/lived in.

For instance my grandfather was born in 1899 in Kolonia Siedlisko, Powiat Kostopol...
My Dad was born in Kolonia Ozgowo

My Mom was born in Kolonia Stuga k/Antonowki, Powiat Sarny W.W.

I would like to find a map showing these locations but have not been able to find one.

Life / Are Polish People Racist? [1037]

I can't believe this topic is still ongoing. There are good and bad people no matter what
nationality or color they are.

Many affluent Blacks move from predominantly black areas because they want a better
life for themselves and their families. I have no problem living next to a black family or
any other non white family. We are all created equal..but some turn out bad and others
are good.

In the area that I live in we have a very low crime rate, the last crime that was commited here was a murder of a women..she was hispanic..delivered pizzas, had a nice

family and the man who killed her was WHITE..he killed her for 50 dollars that she had.

I asked here because I googled that word and no info was available. I've never heard
that expression and was just curious.

News / Countries in Europe where abortion is allowed/not allowed? [110]

I really don't like to judge people..but I can't understand why birth control wasn't used
after the first abortion. I can understand one mistake and the pain of making such a drastic decision but to be so irresponsible to get pregnant so soon afterwards is something I can't understand. I also can't understand why wait so long to have an

abortion unless this person thought that if she waited long enough the father would
give in and change his mind about having a child...and to marry this guy after all you
went though is beyond me. I hope you have a happy marriage and don't go though life
regretting the decisions you made.

I was pregnant when I got married 37 yrs ago..I was 20 yrs old and my hubby was 23.
I have a lot of friends/family that have had similiar situations and they have stood by
their daughters and helped raise the babies. I'm sorry that you didn't have family that
you could turn to for help and moral support.

Sorry...I have another question about Trash Can.

How do replies get posted in Trash Can if there isn't a place to write a reply, or did
the replies get posted earlier and then the thread was put in Trash Can? Was just reading the most recent post there and it has replies...just wondering

Thank You for taking the time to answer my questions. I guess I have a lot of practicing to do before I post a topic.
