Sure better than African American or Afropole...

News / John Godson, born in Nigeria, might become Poland Sejm's first black deputy! [313]


Afropole? Is that a race? Sort of like African American? Although I'm glad he's so successful it's too bad political correctness madness has now reached Poland too... Afropole... I'm glad he wasn't from Nigeria or they'd invent a yet another idiotic term for him... Oh wait, he is born in Nigeria...

How about simply a Pole? ...and if someone wants to know more about him than call him a Pole who happens to be black?

Work / If you were to compere Polish Unis and Unis/Colleges in your country... [75]


Very true. A good student in a mediocre university will learn more than a lazy student in great university.

Language / déjà vu in Polish [23]


That's what I meant. Here in America, especially in the "black" vernacular.


Here we go again, another prophet of the moronic and non-existent word busia. It's called babcia, babusia, etc. Never busia. There must be 20 threads here on this fake word...

Work / If you were to compere Polish Unis and Unis/Colleges in your country... [75]

My Polish "education" is limited to przedszkole and few grades in podstawówka so my comparisons would be pointless. I think the Swedish and the American systems are fairly similar. I got an electrical engineering degree from Sweden and in the US a Computer Science BS, followed by masters in Aerospace. (3 degrees and still can't spell worth of crap lol)

I think people study harder in the US because it's not free. In Sweden there were guys and gals in my class who missed 50% of the classes because they didn't care, in the US it meant you'd have to pay twice for the same class. Overall though both systems focused heavily on problem solving rather than memorization.

Language / "Łukasz Trembecki" - how to pronounce and spell my birth dads name [7]


That's the most probable spelling and if so the pronunciation would be something like
Wookash Trembetzkee

(remember there are rolling r's in Polish, similar to the Spanish language)


That's what I've heard before. Too bad, I definitely prefer the "old" ł pronunciation.

I suspect Southern's lady friend made this posting when he forgot to log out. There's no way this came from the same Southern who usually makes all those ultra sexist and shallow remarks. So who are we talking to today??

Here's are some typical Southern posts - you tell me if he even understands what the message above really means?

Love / Good looking Polish women with ugly men [416]


Thanks and yes, you're right. Some things are ingrained in our brains and we might or might not be able to change our attitudes toward certain features in the opposite gender.

As far as the squared, chiselled jaw on a man. There've been studies showing women prefer men with those attributes but only as a fling, a temporary boyfriend, etc. and look for "softer" facial attributes in a lifelong partner. As a square jaw type of a guy I'm therefore screwed! I'll work hard on getting fat hoping to "soften up" my facial contours. LOL

Hey, what's wrong with a square jaw?? :(
Yes, you need a baby! lol

PS. I agree that the right pic by BB does not show a square jaw...

This means women like guys in uniforms, correct? Wanted to make sure this isn't some kind of SM connotation, I've misunderstood sayings before... :)

Greetings from a very hyped South Korea (artillery shelling by North Korea)

Raised in Sweden, nice country to visit, what would you like to know?

Law / Would be an honor to serve in Poland. Can an American pilot transfer to the Polish Airforce? [14]

As a member of the Polish diaspora who's a member of the US national guard (part time nowadays) I'd say you should be able to begin the process as long as you're a legal resident of Poland. Eventually you'll have to become a citizen I'd imagine just as it is in the US. I'm guessing that you either didn't make it in the US military and want to give it a try somewhere else (might be a good idea) or are trying to make a political statement. Either way, remember that you'll probably end up serving in similar places (NATO member).

Either way good luck to you and greetings from hong kong btw.

That's fair enough. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

I firmly believe that £ódz made the right choice by following his heart. Happiness is the key to a good life, a life side-by-side a loved one only accentuates this happiness which is never bound by nationality or race.

At the same token I do respect your point of view, I simply disagree with it.

Wow asik - so judgmental because of a few bad apples in your neighborhood?? You'll find rotten people in each in every nationality and race. It's so cliché to say but it's about the inner beauty and not just where a person is from or whether he or she is white or black, or pink...

I travel all over the world, primarily in Asia but also elsewhere, and there are so many good people out there. It's sad that people still have your attitude (no offense meant). It's sad because it's almost as if you decided to become colorblind by choice. It's hard to fully appreciate a rainbow when you chose to filter out some colors from your view. Can't explain it very well but I find it so sad someone would think the way you do.

Life / Polish gimnazjums - memoirs of a teacher [32]


This chart might explain it better...

Many people take the associate degree in their home town to knock off the basic subjects. It's cheaper as many live with their parents and usually there's a lower "in-state" tuition. Then they proceed to the college of their choice to specialize in their field of interest and get a bachelor in science, bachelor in arts, - applied sciences, - computer technology, - aerospace, etc. Some go to the college of their choice from the get-go and skip the associate degree. (it'll still take about the same time but you won't have to change schools).

Some continue on to earn a masters degree , ph.d, etc.

Great advice! Show a good attitude no matter what they ask you about, people love to help but hate to feel inferior or looked down upon. So make it clear that you're there to work hard and will work on your Polish...

Thank the tax-exempt "non-partisan" (LOL) ACLU for it. The states are terrified of getting slammed with lawsuits and the special tax code ACLU enjoys allows them to keep doing it. If ACLU sues a state and loses they're NOT responsible for the court costs of the entity they sued, something that's a common procedure otherwise.

Remember a few years back when some Ramadan and Kwanzaa (African American created holiday to celebrate the black culture) supporters complained about the attention Christmas was getting? For the next few years many state buildings but also Target, wal-mart, etc., called Christmas trees holiday trees and Christmas greetings became holiday greetings, etc. Paranoia at it's best. The irony of all the ACLU lawsuits is that they're supposedly making sure citizens's rights are protected - yet ACLU's co-founder Roger Nash Baldwin was an avid communist and proud of it too. I guess "civil rights" didn't apply to the citizens of Soviet Union... To his credit he denounced communism in the late 40's once the rumors of Soviet prisoner gulags had become very rampant.. Better late than never I guess...

I wasn't picking on you and your numbers. My point was that convex is right and that double taxation is wrong. At the same token it doesn't affect many people and as far as I know giving up US citizenship is the only way to avoid the tax (I read somewhere that last year ~450 people or so did just that).
