Love / Polish wedding customs/traditions? Aussie marrying Polish. [21]

I was at a Polish wedding in Chicago. Oh Boy! Talking about food and booze! I've been to Polish weddings in Poland too but the Chicago Polish weddings are even bigger and better because the food is better and there is more of it. And you eat and drink and eat and drink. I'm invited to another one this year. Can't wait!

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]

You are an exception.

Most Polish men have big foreheads, receding hairlines, long noses and big ears and they think they know everything, they take things apart and never put them back in order, they don't obey the rules and are always looking how to con someone.

I agree. Make sure you got lots of vodka.

Life / Where to get a cup of coffee in Warsaw? [40]

Quit drinking that stuff. It's not good for you. It's loaded with caffeine, stains your teeth and ruins your health. It's a waste of money. So is smoking. Why do you poison your body with unhealthy habits? Think how much better and alive you would feel if you would stop poisoning yoursrelf. That's why so many people in Poland are depressed, they drink coffee, beer, vodka and smoke trying to erase their problems but they are making them even worse. I have never seen so many people smoke as in Poland. And then they complain they have no money.

And smoking is not spelled smocking.

News / Peculiar opinions about Poland [33]

Most Poles after 8th grade get a job and are not required to continue studying in a liceum or technicum, or whatever. While in the US you are required to 4 more years of high school. We study longer but not under pressure which makes Poles crabby and unpleasant. The Polish teachers never smile, you are not allowed to smile, everything is under pressure, they cheat in schools, they have "ściągi" and that's how the Poles grow up, to cheat one another and that's why they grow up so nervous. In America the schooling system is different. They learn in a different way than the Poles. Studying is a pleasure, kids like going to school and since they are required to study for 4 years longer, they get punished for cheating in anyway, honesty is being taught in American school, which in Poland is not, in fact they have more knowledge than a Pole who thinks he knows everything yet knows nothing.

Just because one clerk asked if Poland was in Europe does not mean all Americans are the same. At least she was right. lol. What do Poles know about the civil war, pony express, Cody, Custer's last stand? They know nothing about American history. Ask an average Pole where Niue is? Nauru? Tuvalu? Palau? I'm sure they know where ALL the countries in the world are. yeah right. Lol. They know nothing about the US states, (they only know Chicago, coz that's where all illegals sit) yet each American state is about the size of a country, each state has their own rules, capital and regulation. Poles don't know anything about american geography, and yet assuming Americans of the fact that one person asked if Poland was in Europe is generelazing. Stay in Poland there, we don't want you here. Why does everybody come to Stupid America for top-of-the-world medical treatments? Why, when there is a global disaster, Americans are the first ones to help out? When America has an Earthquake, who helps us out? I don't see any Poles or Russians helping us.

News / Peculiar opinions about Poland [33]


This is a misconception that Poles have about America. They think they are better than us so why do they flock here for? Why are they all mad they can't get a visa to "stupid" America? Stay in poland if you think we are dumb here. How many Poles know where Kentucky is? Do they know where Macon is? there is Poland in the US, as Venice, Warsaw, Krakow and other towns. Just because one person wasn't sure where something is right away "Americans are stupid". Stay in Poland. We don't want "smart" Poles here who are dishonest, cheat and lie. they come to America and talk about how stupid we are. We don't want you here. Hope you never get visas. We don't need more dishonest Poles.

So what's your problem?


Anyone heard of Leon Czolgosz?

Polish Assassin of President McKinley
Leon Czolgosz was born in Detroit, Michigan from Polish-Russian immigrants in 1873. He had seven sisters and brothers. His family was moving very often from place to place where the jobs were located.

On August 31, 1901, Czolgosz traveled to Buffalo, New York where he rented a room. He bought a 32 caliber Iver-Johnson pistol. He knew that President McKinley will be attending the Pan American Exposition and was hoping to be able to kill him but he still did not have a plan how to do so.

On September 5th Czolgosz attended McKinley speech about the prosperity of America. He hoped to be able to reach a president from a short distance but he was worried that president's guard would catch him before he'll have a chance. So he had to wait for his chance until the next day. President McKinley arrived afternoon at a reception at the Temple of Music. Czolgosz was waiting a couple of hours among these that wanted to shake a hand with a president.

"As the President extended his hand, Czolgosz pushed it aside and pulled out the revolver, wrapped in a handkerchief, from his pocket. Holding the weapon just inches from the President, he fired two quick shots into McKinley's torso. There was a brief second of silence as the President stared at Czolgosz in amazement. As the furious crowd nearly beat the assailant to death, McKinley, his hands clutching his bloody chest, said, Boys, don't let them hurt him!'"

There are too many Poles in America already. Many are here illegally and those are the ones who spoil it for others. Don't blame America for what the Poles are ruinig themselves.l

UK, Ireland / POLISH TEENAGER MURDERED IN UK..man convicted [28]


That they are. They should stay in Poland and build Poland not go abroad to work in other countries. Is it because they want to show off what they have?

USA, Canada / Polish style Thanksgiving in USA [11]


That's a Polish style "tenks giwing", not American. So how can Americans throw this Holiday down the Poles throat as mentioned before? It's the Poles that are Americanizing this Beautiful American Holiday, which of course the Poles have no idea what's it about anyway.

Life / WHAT ABOUT THANKSGIVING (ŚWIĘTO DZIĘKCZYNIENIA) IN POLAND? [52]


Poland rips them away from America. In fact, Poles don't even celebrate American Holidays properly.
For example Valentine's Day in the US is celebrating your loved ones, including your husband, children, parents. In Poland they got it all wrong because guys seem you only have to buy sweets for a woman.

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

If everybody would carry a gun then the person who wants to kill somebody will get killed by everybody and that scares the intruder.
A study was done in several towns across the US allowing everyone in that town to own guns. And guess what? Crime was almost nonexistant in these towns.

Guns don't kill. People do.

USA, Canada / Polonia and things related in S' Diego area [8]

I'm from San Diego. The church has a bulltin board with upcoming Polish events. Always crowded on Holidays. Was driving past there on Eater and omg, the people were out standing in front of the church all way down the street! I don't like going to Polish church, they always crabby and mad and look what you're wearing.

Try contacting the church for starters or google Polish People in San Diego.

USA, Canada / NO VISAS to Canada for Poles in the near future [62]

Travel / holidays - do Polish people need visa to Caribbean? [6]

Poles do not need a visa, but at the airport have to buy the kind of a tourist card for 10 UDS, which entitles you to stay on the island. You cannot lose this card, you will need it when you leave. If it is lost, you will need to pay a few dollars. In addition, apply an additional $ 10 fee on exit. However, this does not apply to all passengers. Some carriers have signed an agreement with the Government's initiatives, so that their passengers are not required to pay additional fees.
