History / Has Polish king Sobieski become an idol of right wing extremists? [21]

Please please please, don't let Bruce Willis go into an acting role, playing Sobieski.

Is there an upcoming film?

Mel Gibson as the lead actor in Braveheart for us Celts was bad enough.

Isn't Mel Gibson of Irish descent, Celtic? so what's the problem because he's a Yank?
Loved him in the Bounty... 4:20

USA, Canada / Polish-American mutilation of the Polish language [75]

True as I've stated above it's everyone's right to maintain their identity and have their own neighborhoods. If someone wants to live among his people and speak a different language it's their choice. And yes America has no official language this isn't England so it can't be. It's rather whichever language the people speak, now it happens to be English might be Spanish some day.

Food / Are there any real kebab shops in Gdansk? [20]

pork

Aren't Muslim Turks working in those Kebab Shops not even suppose to touch pork? Here in the States fast food shops run my Muslims don't. For instance bacon is replaced by turkey bacon.

Language / Weekend vs Łikend [15]

I see łikend used a lot more than the english variant, but if we have polish names for each day of the week, and words like tygodnia/tydzień to describe the whole week, why not a word for weekends? :O

Another example I like is łał! instead of wow!.. lol

I Agree there way to many English words being introduced into the Polish language. A Polish word can easily be made up for them.

Assimilation should ONLY be a choice. You can't force anyone to do anything. Everyone should maintain a large ethnic community but don't take over someone elses build your own this country is huge there's plenty of space for everyone. No one said Mexicans have to learn English, nationalistic white Americans say that not Poles. There are whole sections of Southern California where English is hardly ever spoken I have no problem with that, that's their spot. People who don't want other nationalities to maintain their communities and keep speaking their language are intimidated by it and feel threatened.

USA, Canada / Polish-American mutilation of the Polish language [75]

Chicago is one of the few remaining cities that still have large polish speaking people. (Good for them)

I agree there's nothing wrong with having a large ethnic community, that's how you keep your identity.

The same is true with Pittsburg, Philly, Wilmington etc. All of our big cities are going to hell.

Detroit is a sad example. Went to the old Polish neighborhood it's gone run down and an Arab neighborhood now. Camden up until the 60s or 70s had a large Polish community. A 30 yr old friend of mine who's Polish American told me that when she was a kid 5-10 it was still a great place to live look at in now.

Both my Mother and Father spoke no English. So they settled in communities with the greatest influx of polish speaking people.. Sorta like in unity there is strength.

We have a friend of the family who's been living in Chicago for 45 years and still speaks almost no English. There are so many Poles in and around Chicago that he really doesn't need to.

USA, Canada / Polish-American mutilation of the Polish language [75]

There was a Polish dialect in Red Ruthenia, called dialect "południowokresowy" - Polish language influenced by Ruthenian. I wouldn't consider it a mutilation of Polish language.

I remember listening to music it was mostly rhyming of this pre war Warsaw artist. He was singing in the local dialect which I believe went extinct after the war with Warsaw's population dead or misplaced.

Love / Is the Polish wife the boss? [33]

pantoflarz

There are many flip flops/slippers but I wouldn't say most. My cousin claims that he was one but then that's why his girl didn't respect him and cheated on him, later on left him.

Poglish : "A cop gave me a ticket on the highway," or (in standard Polish), "Policjant dał mi mandat na autostradzie," a Polonian might say (in Poglish), "Kap dał mi tiketa na hajłeju."

History / Defying Germaniztion in 1901 Polish boy writes 'German girls are ugly' [128]

If you are interested on just looking - then yes, Polish gals are amazing.

There's your answer Nathan. Kids are shallow and look at looks alone most of the time. Here in Philly we have Russian bars and clubs where Russians, Ukrainians, Poles hang out together I've heard at least a couple times from Polish girls when they said they're Polish a guy he answered with amazement 'Ahh Polachka' so they must have found them to their liking.

News / POLAND HAS LOST 1 MILLION PEOPLE (for other EU countries) [30]

Polands population never officially reached 40 million. I have read the birth rate has gotten slightly better in Poland,

In the 70s there were a lot of children being born. My parents said around 77', 78' it seamed like every other woman was pregnant.

Poland is s'crewed. And here I was thinking about moving back to Poland.

Well these are new immigrants of only a couple years. There were quite a few Poles after being in the States 20-30 yrs who decided to go back and open up a business in Poland.

Love / Is the Polish wife the boss? [33]

No I never hit a woman in my life. It's usually people from broken alcoholic families. The point is in relationship, among friends or in society in life altogether you never let anyone have the upper hand because they'll walk all over you. Jak to sie mowi Jak sobie pozwolisz to ci nasrają na głowe

Love / Is the Polish wife the boss? [33]

Yeah, there's a real problem in rural Poland with violence in the home :(

That was in a city, Stalowa Wola
In rural areas the police is from the gmina and often from the same or neighboring village knowing everyone around. No officer/friend is gonna charge a friend with domestic violence. That's why at least here a cop can't work in the district he lives in.

Depends on the guy if he's a wussie or not.

Actually - domestic violence is a very serious problem in Poland.

And the weak laws don't help. During communist times if a man hit his wife the cops would have beaten him and left him bleeding by his doorstep. My aunt told me how her neighbor was beating his wife while being drunk cops came and were afraid to go in the house to help her out.
