I don't know about the British, but whenever I dare to peep on this forum that something is not perfect in the USA, I get a collective "Get the f••k out of here" from all the Americans. 19 posts and still nobody offered to chip in to your ticket home. I see why you like it so much in Poland.

History / "I was more afraid of fellow Poles than Nazi German Officers", says Bartoszewski [130]
This is a fragment from "This Way to the Gas Please, Ladies and Gentelmen" by Tadeusz Rozewicz. During WWII he was a capo in a death camp. Another example of the syndrome. A person who is helpless towards their opressor will turn their hate on the weaker and stay loyal to their abuser.
"You see, my friend, you see, I don't know why, but I am furious, simply furious with these people—furious because I must be here because of them. I feel no pity. I am not sorry they're going to the gas chamber. Damn them all! I could throw myself at them, beat them with my fists. It must be pathological, I just can't understand . . . "
"Ah, on the contrary, it is natural, predictable, calculated. The ramp exhausts you, you rebel—and the easiest way to relieve your hate is to turn against someone weaker. Why, I'd even call it healthy. It's simple logic, compris?"
Are you talking about Bartoszewski or Polish nation as a whole?

Victim's syndrom IMHO.
I think Bartoszewski had the right to say what he thinks, but he should also be aware of the possible spin; he's talking to the German newspaper after all.

It's just human nature. Read " A woman in Berlin". Germans did exactly the same things to one another. In love and war everything is allowed.
Poles! And who robbed them? Poles! This enrichment had no racist background. It was simply greed."

I wish those mothers would finally stop brainwashing their kids about expectations from marriage and having children. Is having children great? It is. One knows nothing about love before they have a child. But no one ever mentions how hard it is.
Same with marriage. Lodz, wait another ten years and then we will talk about marriage. Marriage is hard. But no one ever mentions it to you when you are young. The young girls are brainwashed into wanting to get married as if it was some holly grail of woman's life.
My mother says that the greatest gift for a true and understanding couple is when they have their child.

Give her a break Lodz. She confronted the man about being married and flirting with her and broke off whatever contacts they had. What makes me really sick is that they guy was jerk, but of course people never fail to notice it's the woman's fault. I don't see anything reckless in what aphro did.
Very very ... unpleasant. What if they have children? ... poor them. Some people love to make a witch/home wrecker out of themselves, and some men love to play the toxic-trash/soul killers.

It's been a while since I dated a Polish Misiu, but I remember one thing they all they had in common: they wanted to treat you like a child. They would frown when you swore, didn't want you to smoke and drink, even though they enjoyed all of those things themselves. And the teddy bears. Ughh.. I'm 24! Why on earth would I want a teddy bear?!!!

They should start by sending their kids to schools. Very few parents are doing that and even the ones who start schools they show up three times a year.
Integration is on the table, and lots of Roma do successfully integrate. Those that don't obviously aren't accepted.

H: You are racist cretin

For the sake of piece in kindergarten I will say, yes, I'm Polish racist. (I've learned that from my grandparents who hid a Jewish man in their cellar for 2 years during WWII)
I don't need to prove that (some) Poles are racist: you have already proved that with your comments. And the subject matter of the article shows that you are not the only racist Pole.

Those are the people who made bad experiences with Gypsies.
Yeahh, not letting disruptive people in a restaurant is exactly like pogrom. Did you even bother to skim a history book?
And seriously, go get laid. That might relieve the tension.
People who say things like "Given the amount of crime they commit I think Polish are very tolerant." are cretins.

You should be grateful: now that almost all the Jews have gone, you Poles need other people for your famous pogroms.

The authors of this article should brush up on history. Comparing noisy and disruptive Romas, to the situation of Jews during Nazi time is just unfair to the Jews. Being lynched based on belonging to a certain nationality is not comparable to just not being let into a restaurant based on earlier bad experiences of the owners. I fully understand the club owners, they have businesses to run...
There is a big Gypises community close to where I live, they had been there for decades. Given the amount of crime they commit I think Polish are very tolerant.

History / Poland obliged to make war reparations to Austria and Germany after WWI. Why? [119]
I know the Volksdeutsche formed the SS troops in the Ukraine and many other Eastern European countries.
The commies had their Comintern, so I can imagine the nazis could have formed a similar organization. Just a guess.
Interestingly he also mentions that “In 1930 a Ukrainian nationalist organisation funded from Germany begun a campaign of terrorism and sabotage.” p344 again I wasn’t aware that they got their money from Germany, was anybody else?

USA, Canada / Education transfer USA (Micro biology from a technical university in Poland) [30]
Just think logically, if you take AP classes in high school you can get your BA in 3 years. Think for example math; I my days we worked through Calculus I material in high school, which you don't do in the States. The 101 classes contain just the Polish high school material. In the US you can get masters degree in 5 years, and so you can in Poland.
Of course the "studia zaoczne is a joke, but in the US you can also get your degree from some shady "online university". And they are just BAs, just like the ones from Princeton.
It's the equivalent of a bachelor's in the USA. everyone's got one.

I would contact the World Education Services. They will look at her transcript and issue the American equivalent of an official transcript. I have a 5 years degree from Poland and it was translated into MA. 5 years Polish degrees are usually translated into Masters from what I hear.
My fiancee has 5 year degree in micro biology from technical university in Poland, what would it be equivalent to in USA? Will this degree transfer to USA in terms of being able to work in this field? What if any other things could be helpful to get job in this field?

History / How Polish history is viewed by other countries textbooks [124]
Recently in a German book I read that one of the main reasons the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto failed is because the Polish side left the Jews stranded.
In another book that gives a really general sketch of German history, I read that the Vertriebene (the people who had to live formerly Prussian areas) were subjected to brutal vendetta acts from the side of Polish people.
How is that for splitting the guilt?
