Poland..wake up to a multicultural world

Rabbi Burns? Isn't he the one Celinski was talking about today?

Poland already has a varied enough population. Contrary to popular belief, it is not completely homogeneous.

I wasn't there for that, maybe. It's the Selkirk Grace, the toast before eating haggis on Burns Night.

He wasn't a Rabbi, he was Rabbie ;)

Polska is a great country, filled with strong culture, values and traditions, may not be the richest, but who said it had to be, to be great in the eyes of those who live there? And im a 3rd generation polish american with more german ancestry anyway. So, shut it.


Your so full of $hit, what do they say? I am white and polish, and very interested as to what you could tell me. Bad drinking habits? Good food? Loud, abnoxious and like to fight? Big deal, the irish and the italian all had the same view when they came over here...


And we do that to every brown immagrant aswell? BS again...Hardly anyone in chicago speaks without an accent anymore.

What Polish cultures, values and traditions are you taken by, Warsaw?

I like how they are strong on family units. They are very loyal. Also have a strong work ethic. They are passionate people and you always know where you stand with them. And the women are lovely.

This is why it is so hard for outsiders to break in, the family unit is so compact.

Still, it's a strength for sure. Loyal, I agree with that too. It depends how much drink they've had I guess ;)

Strong work ethic, again I agree. Like everywhere, they have their slackers but necessity ensures that they plough away daily.

Passionate, yes and no. When they are, it's VERY visible. Sometimes they can be deadheaded mumlaks but I associate Poles with being passionate for the most part. This is why Scots get on with them.

Some women are lovely, some are a ballache of the n-th degree.

Polish is just a quality culture overall. They are better than Americans and many others -overall, particularly in the manners I stated.
I have said it numerous times that the thing I liked best about my Polish girl was that she was so un-Americanized.

Not better, just different :)

Different in a better way.

Ha, I don't know which planet or city you're talking about but it's certainly not Chicago. If you said Dallas/Ft. Worth, I would agree with you. You don't know what you're talking about or so used to it you can't tell the difference.

I am not saying that poland is a bad country, my wife is polish I spent a lot of time in Poland, I love it there! It is the people like **YOU** that make Poland look bad!!

We dont have a duty to do anything, that was a rather arrogant statement, I have duty to be a good daughter, sister, aunt and friend, but i do NOT have a duty to welcome any tom dick and harry who wants to come to the UK. Simples!


Who is the “we” you’re not English. As for those that have been here for generations, those that have assimilated into the UK and respect English laws and traditions, fine, those that chose to live on the fringes should go back to where they came from if they don’t like it here. Regarding the Irish, we have a long standing history with them and as a guest in my country you should read a bit of history before throwing them in to the discussion.


He was right, as long as they abide by the laws in the UK.


What’s the problem? There are lots of British people going over to Poland to settle, how many Brits are going over to Africa or Asia to settle? It’s a one way thing and that the problem.


They were not brought, they were allowed, there’s a big difference, some were even refugees – you do remember the Ugandan Asians that were expelled by Idi Amin, you see everyone is so quick to call the British for not wanting their country to be more over populated than it already is, but Africans have been guilty of expelling people from their country?? Double standards, No?


What is your point? We were also invaded by Normans, doesn’t make us French though and the tradition of taking a German spouse dates back generations, it's only recently that the Royal family name was anglosized - read a bit of English history, you might learn something!

He doesn't make Poland look bad: he knows nothing about Poland!

"Poland..wake up to a multicultural world "

The phrase "multicultural world" is a non sequitur.

No it's not. Perhpas you mean oxymoron?

Perhaps he means a redundancy.

Funny, I grew up on the south side of Chicago but have lived near north the past three decades or so and have rarely heard "the mean things..." you claim. (I'm half Polish and half Russian but have a Polish heart).

In fact, many Poles are respected here because of their economic success and dare I say their overall courtesies that they exhibit (ok, Milwaukee Ave. has some drunks but who hasn't? ...besides, many of them aren't even Polish).

Poles, Italians, Irish, etc. all exhibit good natured ribbing with each other. That may not have been true 50-60 years ago but in general it is true now as so many intermarry and have inlaws of other ethnicities. Also, people with different backgrounds work with each other and that allows for mutual understanding, besides most consider themselves Americans first.

Then don't go an colonise other countries or even emigrate to them if you don't want them on your backward.


Utter nonsense and plain rubbish,the example i was presenting is how the Irish guy a son of an emigrant can decide who stays and who goes.

Anyway,Irish were badly treated by the english people as the asian(the pakis as you call them).

They were classified same level as the dogs(no Irish,no dogs),now you telling me you have long standing history with the Irish,so with India for centuries.

ragtime27:
Let me tell you an anecdote,it was journalist asked polish worker representative in UK tv(it happen to be polish): what do you say to british workers who are saying you taking their jobs?

the answer was: I don't see any problem we're whites and christians.


You pick and choose which race to welcome(most asian abide by the law in the UK).
If you pick and choose then it's racism,plain simple


Funny enough i was going to ask you the same to go and read a bit of present reality,no need for history(Normans...etc,don't go that far).

Prince Charles(which i admire for his respect to Islam) is a son of an imigrant(living father is greek).

again,you pick and choose and you call asian pakis,i conclude that you're a racist,you wouldn't dare to speak among your colleagues like that,let alone in public.

\in Greece they call them the German family I believe



Did Shelly call anyone a Paki? I couldnt see that in her post.

Many times and without any provocation

Libs love using their PC to enforce impose their views while silencing others.

I guess this guy has never been to Warsaw, then.

Even in Olsztyn we have that mix.


Maybe this will explain a few things:

You don't need any such thing. You have been brainwashed.

Thanks Zimmy, I rest my case.


This is true but very minimal. The Polish here dont date much out of ethnicity, let alone race. Prejudice, and Proud! lol........

Lol! Nothing wrong with a little nationalism when it comes to romance too.
Except, of course, I believe one Polish girl in particular should get with an American boy. ;)

You have no case...I live more Northern...and Belmont/Austin area...and yes, I know what I hear and have heard.


That much is true, but it's not a big deal. That's their business if they choose to do so...my friend had told me this months ago.

Hmm some of it may be "true" but,


ehhh excuse me? They kept on killing each other for the mere conext of what they should be called (Protestants vs Catholics) while in Poland-Lithuania there were Catholics, protestants, calvinists, judaists (jews), muslims and orhtodox. It was no pogroms until Russia took it over and it was ILLEGAL to kill one each other because of religion = religius tolerence. Even in second republic of Poland there were 3 different voaws when in military 1 for christians, 1 for jews and 1 for muslims.


1. Germany didn't excist until 1871 (correct me if Im wrong can't remember excact date)
2. Poland over anyone else is a national feeling in Poland wich often is mixed with patriotism but having it told in German version disturbs me mostly because it may lead to --> Nationalsoscialists

You are a true patriot, agacia. Do you want to set up a rendez-vous to start to re-populate Poland with patriots?

As long as I can wake up to fresh bread rolls for 50gr, I'm as happy as Larry :)

?? Moe and Curly?
