ok Marynka11, I had a stigma of being "Polish" too way back when, I've realized it was stupid.

I've gone through some life experiences that made me realize that even though people were thinking they had hard in PL they were sheltered from the real "jungle life", (as I call it).

We live in a free market society where the strongest survives, (everything goes) and there are no nice social protections offered here like back in Europe. Some people love it and others hate it.

After a few decades, we look at ourselves from the opposite sides of the mirror, those who survived the shitstorm and adjusted and those who remained back in Poland (mentally or physically). We try to communicate but it's not working out as you see. Try to meet us half way.


don't blame that kid for his father's mistakes.

It's about the bigger picture. We share a lot of common traits that were developed by experiencing the harsh realities of Poland in 70's 80's and 90's. What I'm trying to do is to help you guys to get over it. (and myself too) Call me self-righteous in my quest if you want.

Off-Topic / Penn and all I owe you an explanation... ref to Polish vs. British vs. American [38]

I believe it's more about not making much sense most of the time and then strongly insisting on those assumptions being correct.

I was there last year. anything new happened? Besides I'm not dissing Poland you silly goose, I'm talking about the Polish MENTALITY that remains embedded in us, no matter what has changed around us. Do you guys want me write in caps? Just say it.


yeah i remember that. I was going to tell you.. 6 figure salary means over 100k you douche, learn your math :)

Off-Topic / Penn and all I owe you an explanation... ref to Polish vs. British vs. American [38]


Having a guilty mind? Well done Mrs. instigator.


you drive people nuts dude. Come down a little. Say something that makes sense once a while and you're going to be alright.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


Well dope, yes obviously I'm bored, I just got back from work, and here i am writing crap on PF again.
See, me and you are not really that different. You're a confused Russian living in Poland scraping by, and I'm confused as well, living in US wondering why I'm being drawn this stupid site.

I guess I'm fascinated by the mirror image of myself that I see in you guys, (except for Iron because his calming to be a Polack-Chink from north Korea, btw are you hiding out, or something? sorry none of my business).

Dope, I'm you in a different reality, I'm not a student, and I was the guy nailing other people's girlfriends and a few moms, which I'm ashamed off. If that happens to me, I would say it's a payback for all the wrong I've done.


i'm back i had to drive home. So what do you have to say?


You can't deny there are a lot of similarities. I'm sure you're one of those nicest and righteous Polish-Americans. Good for you for being different (i mean Better) than the rest of us arrogant ones


You're absolutely right, i was just thinking that. I AM YOU HERE. I hope this is not too confusing for you.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


Living with parents too Iron?... ok I give up, I’m ignorant. Yeah it's a common thing. Whatever floats your boat dude, live with mommy if you have to.

Gotta go. Laterz Polacks.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


Fair game, you're vicious, mean, competitive and persistent... must be Polish-American than.

See PGTX that's why I don't seek out Polish here. We would rip each other apart.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


Read about my impressions of you. Thank you for the mutual understanding in this matter.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


wow, you're so swift, you're attempts at trying to provoke me are pathetic.

You remind me those women back in Poland that would stare out at the window all day and than gossip to the rest of the day about what they've seen. I'm not sure why I have that image in my head, I just do.

What gives you the right to judge me lady?


She likes stereotypes so do I. Please refer to the above - an old lady staring out the window and gossiping all day - an image in my head.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


nah, i'm just saying. It pains me when you say something to make a point and people like puella try to use it to make a point about arrogant Polish-Americans.


no i'm looking down on you, because you got no life lady.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


my true colors are that I’ve been kicked out of my home at age 17 and I made it in a foreign country on my focking own.

This can't be as hard as finding an apartment in Poland and live separately from your parents a few miles down the road. This is where I’m coming from if you get my drift.

and i'm a just another kid, nothing special.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


Do you really think it’s ok for kids to live with their mommy and daddy forever? Is that a part of the Polish mentality?

Off-Topic / Penn and all I owe you an explanation... ref to Polish vs. British vs. American [38]


I've read the whole thing and it was clear to me that you guys cornered him, pushed and pushed and he finally snapped. What did you think I was trying to explain?

I've realized that it's really difficult to say something just once for people here to understand it . So I was trying to lead you guys to the correct conclusions.

I think if dope gets it, we're on the right track now.

Off-Topic / Penn and all I owe you an explanation... ref to Polish vs. British vs. American [38]


You want it or not but that's what happens. You get tagged and people make assumptions based you, me and Penn about rest of the Polish.

Off-Topic / Penn and all I owe you an explanation... ref to Polish vs. British vs. American [38]


It's just my perception, not something i can verify, maybe because of my physique and how I talk.


This is exactly what I was trying to point out.

Off-Topic / Penn and all I owe you an explanation... ref to Polish vs. British vs. American [38]


People get that way when they're cornered.

It's hard to explain how it feels inside when people who you try to represent turn on you. I guess I'm just yet another arrogant American. I'm good with that.

Off-Topic / Penn and all I owe you an explanation... ref to Polish vs. British vs. American [38]

excuse for being a successful Polish that came out of slums?

@pgtx
already then

PennBoy should not have been suspended, and that's my vote.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


This is what happens to Polish mentality when it collides with American reality and merge in to one. Very explosive mix. I can really easily associate with PennBoy. I used have the same perception; I had similar experiences and outlook at life.

Boso ale w ostrogach…

Seems wierd that you guys don't see it being Polish and all.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


yeah LMAO, ok. We... my wife and I we're stalking polish restaurants and rape people.

That's insanely paranoid way of thinking.

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


It just feels like this is something that a British person would say.

Here is my reasoning:

Polish person would say, sure, but your neighborhood sucked, and wszystkie dzieciaki mialy ciasne bereciki.

American would say, ok but who gives a crap?

Life / Differences in Polish, American and British mentality [237]


I know a lot of people and some could be Polish. What I'm trying to say is that I don't really reach out and look for Polish living here.

Polish people tend be really paranoid, and it pisses me off, so I gave up.

Here is an example of Polish mentality:
Some lady: Looking to meet some Polish in a casual setting.
Me: We live near Houston, if you want we can meet at poloniarestaurant.com.
Take care.

Some lady: sure thing - tell me something about yourself.

I'm thinking: seriously? Do you interview everyone before you meet them at the bar? Somehow this kind of paranoia just turns me off. I'm sure it's perfectly normal to ask that question in Poland though.

UK, Ireland / UK: How to create a perfect scapegoat? [54]

I feel like I'm being torn apart by this inside.

Polish people living in the UK should organize and boycott the handout. Right... and that's going to happen..

Maybe some kind of campaign of PR would help. Well, Polish British of PF now is your chance to help by speaking out loudly and clearly against this. Not here, out there to your friends, coworkers at churches.

British government has made a very bad decision, this is going to have a ripple effect on how other nationalities in EU perceive us. Are we going to be those white trash soviet block beggars for the next decade or do we have some pride left in us to say NO!! Rise above it, say it: go shove that dole up yours, this is not a solution to a problem, give us jobs, I want to earn my money working, we're better than this.

Btw I know there are no jobs there, but in my opinion throwing money at the problem is not the solution. That's why the people in the Government get paid the big bucks to come up with acceptable solutions to a problem.

Do you want me to speak Polish instead? Would that fit better your profile of a Polish person? Hold on, let me take a picture of myself standing in line collecting my 250.
