Life / Questions about Poland (traffic / fines, school year, talking about past, minimum wage) [21]

4.) Do Polish people talk a lot about the past? Do they frequently talk about World War II, Jozef Piłsudski, the insurrections, life under Bolesław Bierut, Władysław Gomułka, Edward Gierek, Stanisław Kania, Wojciech Jaruzelski, Lech Wałęsa? Would they mind if a foreigner asked them about said historical topics?

Constantly. Most of Polish discussion refer to the past, seldom present or future.

History / Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]

Is Józef Piłsudski the king of modern Poles?

He contributed a lot to Poland regaining independence in 1918 but later on he abolished democracy and introduced the military semi-dictatorship in Poland. A very controvercial person.

Certainly he isn`t my spiritual king.

What do Polish hunters have to do with anything in the US?

You see? You mixed up everything. :(:(:( My subtle irony was lost on you. Pity.

he means well but the ironic touch is just a little lacking...

My ironic touch is so subtle that only intelligent people are able to understand it. You probably don`t belong to them. :):):)
