UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]
I agree. We are seeing this phenomenon in Canada as well. Not often, but once is once too often if you ask me.
The fact is, women are as bad as men (maybe worst) when it comes to 'herd mentality'.

Life / Polish people have low self-esteem? [80]
I find it contradictory and perhaps short-sighted as a society - I know that Zero tolerance programs exist in schools as well as conflict resolution skills teams, and I think that this is an excellent idea, yet, I can't watch television for 10 minutes without seeing violent or mean-spirited behaviour. Even our politicians are not much better role models for our youth. From where I stand, the adults have the responsibility to walk the talk.

Love / Why are polish girls more approachable than north american girls [158]
This is a very personal experience, of course, but I remember my brother mentioning something similar when he returned to Canada after spending 12 years in England and in France. That was perhaps ten years ago now, and I remember him commenting that he had found the way to approach a young adult woman had been different in Europe, meaning easier, at least for him. He could easily spark a conversation on the bus, or in public places, for example, whereas he found he was getting a cooler reception here. However, he would get a better reaction in Canada when he was in a group, with friends, or at a similar gathering where people somehow knew each other. There are many factors at play here, of course, but this post reminded me of his comment.

I read somewhere that you were ill. Please take good care of yourself and see a doctor if you are concerned.

Life / Appropriate Gift for Wigilia [7]
'Krupnik Krakowski' sounds very nice, indeed. Krakowski was the Holy Father's favorite pastry, is that right? Yes, a book is a good idea. As you said, it depends on the person.

Love / Are Polish men generally possessive? [51]
I had a similar experience with a Polish man. He was able to be MUCH closer to me, emotionally, than anyone I had met. It was noticeable. And highly pleasant :)
My ex girlfriend - who was N. American - told me once that we (Poles) were able to be "closer" and were genrelay into relationship

You sound like a mad-man, Manser. Are you drunk? High? Or both?

I noticed. That's why he sounded so out-of-character. Unless we only _thought_ we knew him...

I'm very sorry you got hurt, Manser. Nothing breaks the heart quite like loving and, instead of being loved back, being hurt and wounded. It happened to me too and, I would bet, to most of us in life. It happens quite a bit when we are young, too. Not that it doesn't happen later on in life, as well, but most of us mature as we get older and know better than to hurt someone who loves us. We try to let them down more gently, I suppose. Perhaps it is because we remember how much it hurt, in our younger days. Chin up, sweetie. And take good care of yourself.

Eurola, how is the pronunciation different?
Polack - offensive for a Pole
Polak - a polish man
Polak - a polish man

Love / Polish interracial dating [333]
Oh, sure... you want our snow but not our terrorists... Picky aren't we? :)
Seriously, I agree that this is a great cause for concern. And I am not at all reassured by the turn of some events recently.
