Yes . Its bloody hard to believe with the way he speaks about Poland.
How hard is it to get a Polish passport?
washington.polemb.net/?document=83
Anybody of Polish origin can have one but what for?
A Good question........There don't seem to be any advantages in possessing one if you are within the EU. American citizens may find it an advantage if they need to buy land in poland.
But any case it will not make you anymore Polish than you are now.

some might see it as a ticket into the EU
Yes, and that is what they do. People come over from the former Soviet union and buy a Polish passport. Then, they can move on, for example, into England and find work religitimatlly. There was a very interesting television programme not so long ago where a lady traveled through the former Eastern Europe and bought for herself loads and loads of passports, all of course, on the black market.
Maybe they could not speak to each other in the same language! Maybe one was a Pole showing somebody else where the consulate was? But yes, I know what you mean. I was once in Tesco doing my shopping and met someone with whom I was working and he was with his wife. He talked-she said nothing and simply walked on! I wondered 'what on earth did they have in common?' Later on she left him and rented out a house on her own. He had to pay the rent for her house because she threatened to make him sell their house and split the money if he did not agree to her demands. I could see that there was nothing between them but he had not seen it for himself but who am I to tell somebody what I can see?

Well to be honest you do it a lot on the forum to people who you dont care about, so why not do it to your colleague who could really have benefited from your advice?

He'll have to do that anyway if they get divorced. ! LOL
how is his son entitled to a polish passport... is his wife a pole...?
Is it only me here who figured out that Michal is a Pole? :) ( a nasty one, but nonetheless). I came across a couple of them like him, in Chicago. Ran like hell from...

I don;t think he is. I think he is Russian or German. Come on Michal, come clean and tell us :)
I say English with a Polish father.

Maybe right. But, his spelling sometimes is not that of an English born person and his grammar is definitely, at times, not from someone whose first language was English.
I have noticed !!

Exactly. That's the clue, and because it could also describe me, how I would express myself, I read clearly between his lines. A couple of times he spelled an English word like you would hear it phonetically spoken in polish. Once, he said "when I go to Poland to visit my family"...he did not say "my wife's family". I would not refer to my husband's family as "my" family. It is always "my husband's family" (of course, it was my family, but in a different sense). I can identify with his recollections of PEWEX in one thread, no foreign born person even living in Poland would know or understand the concept of it. It makes me think, he left Poland around the same time as me, lat 70's or early 80's...There is a lot of bitternes and anger in him.

Exactly.
That's interesting.We shall get there by process of elimination, no doubt.
Wonder why Michal tries to hide his nationality.
I've never come across anyone who is that bitter or angry. I feel sorry for anyone who is like that. Thing is, they only really hurt themselves in the long run, don't they ?
LIR, a very small margin of polish immigrants enjoy putting down their compatriots, as it makes them feel better, smarter, more important. It's a very odd personality trait, which often comes from deprived upbringing, when the neighbors had "more".
When they finally come to a point in his/her life and can finally have the things they missed, they take a big pleasure to belittle his own kind so they will suffer as he/she was.
The ones I met here, their favorite statement is : " This is America, nobody will give you anything, you have to work!" like, Is there a country where you don't have to work and the government gives you all for free? (If there is, I'm getting on the plane tomorrow).
Of course, most polish people help others instead.

That's so sad.

That's how my Polish parents were and the way I was brought up. I've never known anything different. I always thought all Polish people were like this.
This Forum has certainly taught me a few things..............
He'll have to do that anyway if they get divorced. !
She ended up loosing her job and as far as I know, they are back together again now.

You might be right but then again, I only know and can answer what people are saying on a forum, knowing people in real life is totally different and much more complicated.

No-that is impossible. Polish people love to talk and talk and talk. They will say anything and everything to anybody about everybody else, it is in their natures.
a man who marries a Polish woman then constantly slags of Pole
I was not slagging anybody off, I just warned of the dangers and bad sides to holding another overseas passport.

Aye ? I don't understand your reply. I do know Polish people Michal. Both my parents were Polish and so were their parents. So please do not quote me out of context with what I wrote before. I know you are not English because you do tend to misinterpret things, same as most foreigners not in their native country do.
Are you now calling me Polish ? Maybe repost because i don't understand your reply.

She'll still be entitled to a chunk of the money if they ever do divorce.......English Law !!

No, you are saying that you parents and grandparents were Polish. I have not discussed your nationality at all.

I just posted a reply in another thread Michal. On this point :)
PEWEX in one thread,
No, the Pewex is hitory now of course but I remember how we used to use them. I do not know if it was a good idea or not. I think today, I would shun those sort of places as I am against it through principle but these Pewex or whatever they were existed throughout Eastern Europe. They were known as Bieriozka in Russia and we had them in the ukraine too, known as 'Kasztan'. I remember when I was in Kharkow I even used on to buy some dreadful Russian wine and took it back to England. My father never said a word and I never bought any more!

Are you Ukranian then ?
I don't understand anyone not wanting to admit their nationality.
Strange.
I thought that my U.K. origins were quite clearly stated
Nope. Quite a few posters asked you about your nationality, or your native language, but you never gave an answer. Even the above quote says 'origins', and not I'm British, Polish, German, Ukrainian...whatever, your answers are evasive.
So, why are you ashamed of your nationality? (I know you will not answer this question)

ying to reason with a man who marries a Polish woman then constantly slags of Poles
I did not slag off the Poles. My son had a Polish passport, though it is out of date now. What do you want one for anyway? If you live overseas, it is very expensive. I think we paid £46 and that is thirteen years ago. If you want to buy property or land it may help too. I am not sure if foreigners can buy land now-they could not until very recently. The last time I was in Czestochowa you had to have Polish citizenship, a passport or a pobyt na stale for a minimum of two years in order to apply to buy.
re: Nope. Quite a few posters asked you about your nationality... whatever, your answers are evasive.
- It appears to me that this creature is of Polish extraction. Perhaps he was born in Poland and lived long enough there. Just a hate-filled Polonophobe of Polish origin. And a self-indulgent liar who thinks that we are not intelligent enough to see that, or that even if we see that, his repeated assurances that he's not Polish will make us eventually believe him.
By the way, there are also Britophobes of British origin.
It's a universal phenomenon - the hate towards the country of one's origin.
But sometimes there may come the point when, for the sake of self-interest, such people start suddenly appreciating the country of their origin and become 'great' patriots.
They should never be taken back.

I keep hearing that Poland does not allow dual citizenship. I assume that means that if you already have another citizenship, you have to give it up if you want to become Polish (I don't think it's true the other way around - you don't loose your Polish citizenship when you get your US one, for example). What, exactly, does Poland require as giving up the other citizenship? Handing in the passport, or official request to be stripped off the other citizenship?
