How do Polish view others

That problem have nearly all modern nations. If you go back far enough in history you may find this in nearly every place. The place I'm living now was 2000 years ago clearly a Celtic region with Celtic people. In what way exactly it became "to not be Celtic anymore" leaves a lot of possibilities. You may claim the us people of those times where in a way already enlighted but how educated was the average American of those times? Of course the Americans did what you said but who im Europe can be sure of their grandfathers. Germany wasn't inhabitated by Germanic peoples since the beginning of humanity as well as Poland was not Slavic thousands of years ago.

It's politics that create and feed the hate. Nazi politics created Polish jokes. Bush politics created French jokes. Etc. Etc. All these wars and take overs have to be done by armies and no one would sign up to serve in a war unless their emotions were inflamed with hate rhetoric. I've traveled the world and found that when people are just being people - and leave the politics out of it - they can all be good. I'm an American of mainly Polish and German descent. I've heard my share of Polish jokes, German Jokes, and American jokes and hateful statements about almost every country out there. I choose not to hate and not to spread political hate. Just think if everyone could do that . . .

No ones happy with the current policy. It's crap.


Sh*t happened....Some people are still proud to be American. My ancestors were here first, but I don't hold it against the Europeans. The world will continue to go around and horrible things will continue to happen...then WHOP!!! We'll be wiped out by a meteor :)

Well some old-timers might feel bitter about Wilno...

Good on you mate.......I remember those **** ups with a great deal of affection......Having served out there with distinction for 12 years myself!!!.....Can't remember anything about Germany or the Germans!!!

and they don't shave their legs either !

But personally, I do like this natural look.

oops.. the quoting didn't work.. I was replying in response to french girls not shaving their armpits :D

I enjoyed the reply by bookratt, and bubbawoo. Some interesting points.
good point about the double edged sword of religion too bubba.

The cultural dislike in my family's home is as follows:

1. Russians
2. Russians
3. Russians
4. Germans
5. Russians

Hemm, oh.....f*ing impossible!!! Even for pure Mongol-scandinavians!!! ;-)))


;-))))))))))))))) I like it !!!! And personally You? I think that Your number is 4, isn't it?

Personal dislikes in my family's:
1. Poles? What is that?
2. Poles? Hemm...is it something like polkadance?
3. Poles? Yeah, i knew them...they make for us polonium...
4. Poles? Is it a kind of "Krakow's sausage" (comment. This is Russian sort of very stinking sausage for dogs).
5. Poles? Ha.... this is a nation which musician Oginskiy wrote this melody, which plays in the turnstiles in Moscow underground, when something want to pass them without ticket....

...my number is 5....as you see, my family has much diverse opinions ;-)))))

you make no sense, just an opinion:)

Well may be, may be, but i prefer clarity of presentation something like this...." I dislike Russians for..."

yea because you know what my GF says and i don't :rolls eyes:

Come on.... I invite u to Moscow...i will teach you...

regarding polish people liking hungarians, there is a proverb in polish that goes "polak wegier dwa bratanki i do bitki i do szklanki" which loosely translates into "pole and madziar like two brothers, be it fighting or be it drinking"

This I can not understand. It is very rare to find a Polish person who speaks French and I have never known there to be any connection between the French and the Poles.

from my short observation (2months as i back topoland on holidays) with family -polish people loves muslim unfortunatelly it work polish woman-muslim guy and polish man -muslim girl .. polish mans oftn dont like muslim

Honestly I doubt It...

And polls like the one I posted show that most don't like Muslims... but indeed this is rather about general image of nation/religion than about individuals, Poles for example like British, but the way many of them behave make them have a much bigger chance of coming home with broken bones after a trip to Poland than any Muslim... but still Poles like British, because UK is a western country, our ally in NATO and UE, they let us work in their country etc.

Why, what will happen, will an Englishman fall over a pathing stone? Come off it, you know as well as I do how the Poles like to talk but not do...

Do what... ?

would u link the working in 'their' country as a display of the notion o fslavery in a different context..? id this a legal form where people are exploited becasue of their requirement to earn money and their ability to work hard


a general statement.. arnet there about 40-50 million of us in the world.. do u have represntaion reliablity.. i believe u need to conduct additonal studies..

Muslims ? Many more than that.

the connection between the magyars and the finns is taht they both came from the central asia. their culture is the same and the languages that they speak are very similar.

well, more THAN HALF of my friends speak french. Beside of english ofcourse. In Poland , when you are choosing your second language, its mostly french or german. Spanish is less popular.

And ofcourse historicaly speaking there was a lot of connections , agreements , aliances (?is that a good word?) between Poland and France. Now its not that strong, since Poland is supporting England, and England as a country supporting USA doesn't have such strong connotations (?again - good word?) with France as it had before. So , to sum up, Poland, because of the political connections doesn't have much in common with France any more, but the history is not something you can erase just like that.

Related yes by language (very distant cousins really I don't understand word of Hungarian ) but culture ? Hungarian culture is quite far away Finnish, Hungarians has been influenced by neighboring Slavs, Romanians and Turks. While Finns have been influenced by Russians and Swedes. We also don't have a common mythology.

About Polish-Hungarian friendship: maybe it was Stefan Batory, Jagiellos on both thrones and Jozef Bem a Polish general and one of the heroes of 1848 Hungarian rebellion, that sparked friendship despite linguistic differences. :)

dunno about chech but i love italians, their sexi accent mmmmmmm lol jk

Actually, I have just come back from France and was thinking that France would be a good place for the Poles. Nice weather and good food-the young women there like to look nice and wear nice clothes-very much a Polish thing too. It would be a better place for the Poles than England perhaps. Oh yes, I am sure that with the right amount of money and/or future a Polish woman will latch herself on to almost anybody. Have you ever heard of an Eastern European not knowing a good thing when they see it?!

Except, as much as I love it, France is a very racist country. My French friends in the UK(and there are 400k French in the UK) insist that racism is very bad there. The 'Polish Plumber' is a vision of horror to the French.

The other thing that makes work difficult in France is the very regimented education to work system. You can only work in in the job you have been trained for, you can't expand you career into other areas. Its stiffiling.

French women dress nice, but in the south of France crime is a real problem that the Police cannot control they are scared of confronting the criminals in case they are accused of racism and start a riot.

I don't know the exact details, but I think the Poles were on the same side as the French during the Napoleonic wars!!

Yes...

The Poles are on anybody's side as it suits them
