Life / Poverty in Poland [50]

Poland is the land of opportunity for smart people willing to take risk.

Two of my family members started businesses 10 years ago and today they are on the verge of becoming millionaries. However the road to success takes sweat, tears, determination, brains and most of all hard work:)

History / Polish Jews - they changed their Jewish surnames to Polish [532]

Europe awake ,

please stop with the anti-Jew slurs:)

You should respect a nation of people like the Jews who for more than two thousand years had no country of their own and were dispersed around Europe and the world. It is outstanding that the Jews survived and amazing that they flourished and prospered and were able to maintain their language and culture.

Love / Are Polish women in serious demand by Western men? [43]

Canadians like European/Polish girls because they are much smarter than Canadian girls:)

i cannot find a Canadian girl with whom i can have an intelligent conversation with :(

Find me girl that has some concept of Geography, History and is able to play chess and i will marry her.

I find a women's brain to be the sexiest part of a women's body:)

Love / Are Polish women in serious demand by Western men? [43]

Miranda,

i have dated a few smart pretty girls and they were all foreigners/ immigrants like myself.

One girl i dated was a hot , yet very intelligent Mexican girl . We would sit in the coffee shop and talk for hours about history, languages and politics.:)

i have yet to find a Canadian girl that i can do the same with :(

Bronek,

most educated immigrants/foreigners have a better understanding of history, geography and politics than most educated Canadians (born in Canada):)

How many Canadians know that Poland lies in Europe?

How many Canadians can find Poland on the map? :)

it seems to be very prevelent in foreign owned supermarkets.

please tell me in what supermarkets? where? :(

funny i was in a lot of stores in Poland incl. Tesco and nowhere did i see women wearing special headbands. :)

You Americans are funny:)

Patrycja,

instead of looking for problems in Poland and elsewhere why don't you Yanks first solve your own problems of violence, drugs and poverty. :)

Patrycja,

i am just saying look at all the problems you Americans are having in your own backyard.
Why not concentrate on them?

Why waste your time with supposed "headband" problem in Poland that doesn't even exist?

FISZ,

you say American cities are safe? i have lived in Chicago for over 2 years and been to the south side numerous times and it is very dangerous:)

you are telling me it is safe to walk around in Harlem ? you must be very dumb:)

in comparison i can walk the streets of any Polish city , be it Krakow, Gdansk, Lodz or Warsaw and feel safe.:)
