Life / Most famous, respected Polish last names? [46]

see ive been told that throughout the centuries Pol-Jews changed their names from "ski" to "sky" for religious purposes, but Im not sure. Lots of Russians do have last name w/ sky

Life / Most famous, respected Polish last names? [46]


yes I know most Jewish last names don't end with ski. I allways wondered the difference between names ending with ski and sky. Majority of ski are polish, but would sky be different? Russian? Lith.? Czeck? Jewish? Any Ideas?

Life / Most famous, respected Polish last names? [46]

How about last names ending with sky? I know ska is a womans' maiden name and ski would be the mans'. but would names with sky mean someone in the family tree was jewish? or does it depend on the area of poland?

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]

Im suprised Canada isnt more independent w/ oil, meaning lower costs. Didnt you guys discover an oil vein spanning 2/3rds the north country? able to supply N. America for several hundred years?

USA, Canada / The 2nd Amendment (USA), the right to own guns [261]

Personally, I love my guns. I have a high powered rifle for long range sport shooting, and long range hunting out west. I own a Hungarian sks, and just bought a Brazillian .45 model 1911. I am not a gun fanatic like for example the jag offs who committed the columbine shootings, or belong to any malitias. I am a responsible gun owner, the way all gun owners should be.

I 95% support gun restrictions in USA up to this point, such as ppl w/ criminal records not allowed to own guns. But if USA follows the footsteps of the rest of the world, I will feel insecure. What stops criminals with stolen or unregistered guns from robbing an honest former gunowners house then? we would be defensless. If that were to happen, I would probally carry a 20 lb Viking sword or something.

Guns are a mechanism that men and women love fro fun and recreation just like any other toy.
P.S. I WOULD LOVE TO DROPKICK HILLARY CLINTON! Go Romney. please respect my opinions, for i will respect yours.

USA, Canada / Polish, American, Polish-American - what am I to you? [34]

hey thanks Polanglik and Patrycja19, that is the way I basically feel, but how about other people born in Poland? am I recognized as a fellow Polishmen? I've met some people from the country and most seem to feel a bit of connection, but some don't. At the same time my brother has Ukrainian freinds and they think of us as Polish. Any thoughts?

History / THE POLES ON THE FRONT LINES OF WWII [92]


Did you really mean that? Yeah 40 years of Poland behind the iron curtain, Not bloody chap curtain. Allies didnt step foot past berlin

History / THE POLES ON THE FRONT LINES OF WWII [92]

Yes as a matter of fact, My grandfather who was a wwII vet for U.S, his cousin from Poland that I met many years ago, was forced by Nazis to rush allied troops, be the first to inspect suspected allied fortifications, dig bunkers, be scouts and so on. He said if they wern't getting killed from the front by allies, retreaters would be assassined by nazis. They feared nazis over allies. They wore yellow sleeve bands that read "deutch vermacht" that Nazis would throw on able bodied civilians after invading their towns. -war is hell

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]

......or maybe going to sunday school and church at the irish end of town may effect my opinion. w/ experiencing favoritism The city is in shambles from the politics,NOT going to mention names... BUT I am open minded not stupid, I accept everyone unless they otherwise prove themselves. The things Ive mentioned are what I know from seeing, not hearing. AND as I said people FROM Ireland are great. its ok you can " slag off" who you want. I wont bash you're opinion.

USA, Canada / 2008 U.S. Presidential Election according to Polish and foreign people [90]

McCain would be a good frontman for USA, I have respect for warvets like him, he wont get votes from the youth of America, they're all in love w/ Hillary and obama, which the LIBERAL and BIAST media has been driiling in our heads scince day 1. someone like Romney should take the rep. ticket for the sake of he can reach all types of people. Edwards ran as vise pres. in 04 and they couldnt even win his homestate of SC. thats an indicater. He reminds me of a used car salesman. Ive considered picturing obama doing the job, but he is to inexperienced(4years in senate) and needs a solid anchor besides"change" Ron Paul should be running as a socialist and not republican. His followers are like robots trying to promote him. Hillary is fake, phony, wishy washy, and all of a sudden a wannabe New Yorker. Yuck....Ptuey!! Follow who is more realistic and down to earth, I have yet to see that from the Dem. party. Yes I am conservative, but at the same time open minded. I vote for the person and not the party. this is my opinion which I am entitled to. and im not bashing anyone in here, so I expect the same in return please.

USA, Canada / 2008 U.S. Presidential Election according to Polish and foreign people [90]

primaries are Nov.
I hope someone like Romney gets the ticket. he seems to be the most sincere
Obama does not even hold his hand on his heart for our national anthem. Not by any means patriotic

Life / Redheads in Poland - How many? [95]

pure polish people w/naturally red hair- my answer is none I can think of

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]

In my area, we dont care for the Irish. All of my elder relatives seem to hate them. They are stereotypically lazy, greedy, and think way to highly of themselves. They get into political office and only care for their own pockets, and are very corrupt.The women have no concept of cooking and cleaning too. But dont forget, these are 2nd,3rd, and 4th generation Irish. Ive met Irishmen strait from Ireland and they were fantastic people. Freindly too. I get along the best with fellow poles, probally cause we all have the same mindset.
