News / POLES the BLACKS of EUROPE? [104]


After seeing many threads arguing against generalizations, this one sailed right on through.

There are many black people who have a lot of money and are well-traveled and hardworking. For example, because of all of her hard work, Oprah sleeps on an Emperor-sized bed against a 24 karat gold headboard, with a mattress stuffed full of delicately-rolled vintage 1945 $1,000 dollar bills. Can you say that about yourself?

But of course these stereotypes are prevalent. It is almost certain that the dumbest people end up getting asked questions when news stations find their way to a scene.

He's got a point there. Since, there is no such thing as reality, nothing really has to exist at all. We only perceive "reality" through senses that could indeed be universally flawed.

But what's this about Poland having a gypsy stuck up it's bottom?

Life / Rudeness of polish people when they are drunk [43]

I've known my current bf for 2 years and I have never seen him drunk. I, on the other hand, have passed out on the bathroom floor in front of him. But I don't get rude though, I just get really woozy. But anyway, he refuses to get drunk around me. He says he becomes a different person. I asked him what he meant by that and all he said was, "I'm happy guy." So he's obviously hiding something. He's probably so happy he doesn't give a f#&% about anybody anymore and is rude as hell. :( And he doesn't want me to see him that way. Fair enough...

However, his buddy Maciej got drunk one night. He took a blunt object and beat the hell out of my bf's car. Broke three windows, cracked another window and put several dents all over it. Of course they are still friends. It must be a guy thing.

Love / Dating a Polish guy for the first time ever in my life [22]

I have a similar situation. I'm not a model or a gold-digger, but it is hard. My mom thinks my guy should treat me like a queen. But he swears up and down that he's broke. He makes twice as much money as I do, and he doesn't need to pay rent (his job covers that) but he never offers any monetary support. And if I ask, the answer is "no." And yet he says he wants to get married and have kids. But marriage and parenting is about love, sacrifice and yes, money. Right now we can't talk about anything money-related without getting into an argument. Plus, I can't stand it when he tries to sell me things he's had for years. These items could have been given to him for free, but still, he tries to make a buck off me. I've definitely spent a whole lot more on him in the past two years than he's spent on me.

I can't tell you what to do, in your situation. But I know it's difficult, at least when you make less and live in an expensive city. It's just hard when you have to put down the majority of the cash in the relationship. And sometimes it hurts. Money is such a sore subject with him. I just wish he could relax about it. Money comes and goes. That's the way it works. It's okay. But the harder you try to hold onto something, the more likely it is to slip through your fingers.
