Filios1 8 | 1,336 1 Aug 2008 / #91I will be well in a grave before Poland is ever close to being lost. Polska nigdy nie zginie!!
SeanBM 35 | 5,808 1 Aug 2008 / #92Polska to Moja OjczyznaSo why did you abandon him? and to America of all places???considering your opinions.Wait a sec didn't you say you were here and you are American, yes I am pretty sure you said something to that effect.
SeanBM 35 | 5,808 1 Aug 2008 / #94Ojczyznawhy did you abandon him?*HERIs it not father land, although the land is feminine?Sorry about that, I am trying to learn Polish.
Filios1 8 | 1,336 1 Aug 2008 / #95Is it not father land, although the land is feminine?Yes, but the thing is, Poles usually call Polska their motherland, like the Russians. Fatherland is used by Germans, Austrians etc...
SeanBM 35 | 5,808 1 Aug 2008 / #96So where is michaelmansun from?I have the feeling michaelmansun is another person on PF too.
Magdalena 3 | 1,837 1 Aug 2008 / #97Yes, but the thing is, Poles usually call Polska their motherland, like the Russians. Fatherland is used by Germans, Austrians etc...Ojczyzna literally means Fatherland (from "ojciec"), but it is grammatically in the feminine gender. Notwithstanding, it still means the land of the fathers...
southern 75 | 7,096 1 Aug 2008 / #99It is the culture of consumerism.Mass production cannot respect local values because it is counterproductive to adapt to each unique country special needs.So they have to make products that appeal to everyone around the globe to reduce the cost.

Wroclaw Boy 1 Aug 2008 / #101Americans hate the EU because they are afraid of it. Change the currency of oil to Euro's, beet the price hikes.
celinski 31 | 1,258 1 Aug 2008 / #102Americans hate the EU because they are afraid of it.Not true, I don't hate the EU I am glad Poland has the EU power.
outintheyard 27 | 517 1 Aug 2008 / #103Poland is far better today than it ever has been. It seems to me wrong or not that all countries of this size need to produce as much as they can at home cost effectively. Are imports really that cheap? Big picture!
SeanBM 35 | 5,808 1 Aug 2008 / #104Poland is far better today than it ever has been.I think when Poland was an Empire and built Krakow, it was far better, rather than your statement?
outintheyard 27 | 517 1 Aug 2008 / #105I think when Poland was an Empire and built KrakowYou can not compare this time in the world with more recent . A whole new set of variables brought on by man and industrialization as well as war
SeanBM 35 | 5,808 1 Aug 2008 / #106I am not trying to star an argument with you just for a laugh butPoland is far better today than it ever has been.You made the comparison not me. I thought it might have been a mistake? and it would be better to say in recent history but just not "ever".
OP michaelmansun 11 | 135 1 Aug 2008 / #107Americans do not hate Poland. Most Americans do not know where Poland is. Most Americans do not know where the United States of America is. Americans are ignorant buffoons...fat..bad dressers..zero style..zero manners..intrusive..humorless..and stupidly arrogant. Arrogant without a good reason. The United States is ripe for collapse. Poland has always been a much better palce to live than the United States if only be the virtue of their common religious belief. Americans believe in nothing but TV, beer, and Wrestling. Where I live, I dare you to find one thin girl among twenty. That is 1:20 ratio of skinny to fat girls. 95% of US citizens are fat...or will be.

Big picture!thats an interesting thought. can we take it a step further and ask if we should all start producing individually as much as we can at home?are you anywhere near self sufficiency out in your yard?
Wahldo 2 Aug 2008 / #110That is 1:20 ratio of skinny to fat girls. 95% of US citizens are fat...or will be.Mike.. this is not constructive criticism.

OP michaelmansun 11 | 135 3 Aug 2008 / #113Here we cut to the chase. His limp worldview is revealed at last.This isn't my view of the world. It is my view of the United States. At least, it is my view of the southern USA..AND..of the Americans I met in Poland.Dupek seems to be a very appropriate name for you. Are you named after your father?
