News / Poles protest US Stalin memorial plan [28]

US Stalin memorial plan

Wait till the Anti-Defamation League or World Jewish Congress find out about it. All the Virginia politicians, both republicans and Democrats can say "goodbye" to their jobs.

BTW, this news is so outrages that I seriously doubt its authenticity. Maybe that website got it from The Onion?

Genealogy / What nationality is Slavic? [23]

All Poles are Slavs.Not every Slav is a Pole.This is the answer.

Not exactly. There are German Poles, Jewish Poles, Dutch Poles, Prussian Poles, Mongolian Poles. Also, the Free City Of Gdansk Poles.

PS. There are also: electric poles, stripper poles, pre-election polls, marketing polls... :D

PS2. Also, there are Lithuanian Poles and Roma Poles (neither of them are Slavic).

USA, Canada / Renewing Polish Passport in US [30]

I live in Miami, Florida, and I was told I need to show up IN PERSON to the Washington, DC consulate/embassy

Totally NOT worth it.

Mind you, I can renew my American Passport and my State ID (drivers licence) by mail or on the Internet, without stepping out of my house.

Travel / How often do you visit Poland? [32]

You got a wife and kids and from your Brew Day video a good life.

To be blunt, when you emigrate you're playing your last card and it looks like you won:)

Oh yeah, no doubt about it, Barney. The truth is I never went to visit Poland because I chose not to go. I just took my vacations in other places. Let's be honest here, Poland is not exactly #1 tourist destination place.

Travel / How often do you visit Poland? [32]

I left the Old Country when I was a teen back in the 80's. Ended up in the US. Somehow I never made it back yet, even for a short visit. Today my wife and kids don't even speak Polish, so I think a trip to Poland is going to be unlikely... Maybe some day?

Life / Why Poles don't use Facebook? [43]

Employers sometimes use facebook & myspace to find out personal info, regarding current & potential employees.

Here is what happen to a guy I knew from work: while his wife was pregnant, he took some of his female associates and subordinates from work to a nudie bar, to celebrate his own birthday. Can you believe this sh!t? And then in the drunken stupor he posted picks of the event on the Facebook, LOL!

Of course his bosses found out about it (from Facebook). He lost his job, got divorced by his wife, went bankrupt, and now he changes tires at a gas station for $30K/year, down from $69K he was making before.

All thanks to Facebook. And his own stupidity, of course.

Food / How often do you have Polish Food? [49]

there is universal food which is the type I tend to eat, i.e potatoes and soups

You right, I could also count American Comfort Food as Polish Food. A lot of those dishes are the same. For instance if I'm having a roasted chicken, mashed potatos with gravy and broccoli - isn't it both Polish and American Comfort food?

Food / How often do you have Polish Food? [49]

We have a nice Polish restaurant less then a mile from the house, so I would say we have Polish food at least once every other week or so. I can also get some Polish items at the local grocery store, like frozen pirogies or Polish kielbasa. Come to think about it I never cook it from scratch at home mainly because so many Polish dishes require such a long preparation time. For instance I can whip up a pasta marinara with grilled chicken in about 20 min, but I need a whole day to cook Polish stuffed cabbage.

I would say we like Polish Food, but for some reason we don't have it that often.

Love / Is it really possible for a Polish man to be just friends with a woman? [32]

Is it really possible for a Polish man to be just friends with a woman?

I guess the real question is: "Is it really possible for ANY man to be just friends with a woman?"

The answer is: for a straight man, absolutely NOT. We are all sexual beings. A man with a female "friend" is just keeping her on a back burner "just in case". That's the truth.

In case of a gay man (and I'm talking about a 100% flaming gay and not a bi-sexual man), women are best friends with. The reason: no sexual tension like with a straight man, but also there is no competitiveness and biatch-iness like there is amongst women

Food / Favorite Pierogi? [56]

It's definitely sauerkraut and mushrooms w/ sour cream on top.
Why? It's all about that combination of tangy, meaty, doughy and soury tastes, known by Japanese as "Umami", and described by western chefs as a "natural MSG". In this dish you get "Umami" in all the ingredients: mushrooms, sauerkraut, dough (yeast), sour cream.

That's why this dish tastes truly awesome.

Food / Czernina not with chicken blood?! [3]

Wow [speechless]. But on the other hand a duck blood (or whatever blood) soup would make a great Halloween party treat for a Wicca convention.

News / THE HOMINTERN IN POLAND? [80]

Religions are for the weak and dumb. Jesus is a myth. Religions create wars. Science and religion are two opposites, sort of like apples and... sh!t.

Food / Horsemeat, anyone? [62]

I don't think so Plastic Pole.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_meat#United_States

Horse meat is illegal in the US. Eating it, selling it, or slothering, it's illegal. But I saw ones a special on CNN when they went undercover and this fake business was buying horses in the States and then secretly selling them to slaughterhouses in Mexico and Quebec. Then the meat got sold abroad. Truly horrifying.

USA, Canada / Do you think Americans are idiots. [149]

have you seen their tax rates? it's more than a "little".

Between what I pay for my health insurance and what my employer pays for it it costs me $750/month. Isn't that a tax?

USA, Canada / Do you think Americans are idiots. [149]

But the thing is, you get to PAY FOR IT EVEN IF YOU DON'T NEED ONE

That's what real "insurance" is. You pay a little every day, so when the time comes and you need a lot of help, you don't have to worry about it.

As opposed to the US Health Care, where you pay when you don't need it, and when you need it, they will deny the payments and you go bankrupt.

Food / Smoked carp are of this world! [13]

P.S. I gave up smoking, even carp.

But the carp didn't give up smoking!

farrmed as in Europe and the Orient

If you farm fish, why don't you farm salmon? No wonder people in Poland don't eat seafood; that's because all they have to choose from is carp or... carp :)

none too palatable by Caucasians (only Afro Americans eat them).

LOL where did you get that from? Did you pull it out of your as$? Because it does smell like that.

There seem to be a lot fo carp-bashers on this forum

Hey, it's my Jesus-Freak religious right to be a carp-basher!

Food / Horsemeat, anyone? [62]

Is eating horse legal in all of Europe or is it just France and Poland? I can't believe something so barbaric can be legal in all of Europe? I can't believe it's legal anywhere.

You know, if you eat horse meat, you have no moral right to complain to Koreans about them eating dogs, because you are as barbaric for eating horse as they are for eating dogs.

Food / Horsemeat, anyone? [62]

That is so totally repugnant. It's like eating dogs and cats.

It's bit like beef but with a sweetish undertone which can be eliminated when marinated.

I almost puked all over the laptop when reading this :(

Did you know there is a 1-in-10 chances your son was born gay? These are some pretty good odds. Will you call him a "homo" when he is a teenager?

Life / BEING POLISH MEANS....? [18]

Dude, that's every nationality. American Budweiser is owned by a Belgian corporation too. It's the New World Order, baby.

BTW, I would just skip the "Bulgarian wine". I've never heard of any good Bulgarian wines, have you?

could you type in the threads name in lowercase letters for a change

Yes, please! I second that motion.
