USA, Canada / Who is better informed, the expat or the Polonia crowd? [144]

of course somebody living in the country would KNOW more about Poland.
But, they'd also be more surprised at things they see and hear, while somebody born and raised in Poland, even though not living there, innately understands.

Inherent characteristics, like, I don't know, Polish skepticism, certain reserve with strangers, damn, even the certainty that an apocalypse is coming.. I attribute those to my Polishness.

So, you guys living in Poland might know more about her, but that does not mean that you understand her better.

Do these experts include alcohol as one of those drugs?

On the other hand, Poland better watch out - Chechs lead the Europe, by a very large margin, in meth production.

no they're not, but you seem to be incapable of noticing
Also, have you noticed that you think it's not ok to criticize Poland, but ok to bash Americans?

I truly hate that attitude, "if you don't like it, leave". You should know better, delph. It implies that we are not supposed to point out anything that is broken around us.

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

I'm assuming that the obvious has been stated already, that the average salary in UK is twice of that in Poland, so if the item is priced the same in both countries, Poles are effectively paying twice as much for it.

Could be. I prefer a potatoes. Blame it on my heritage. ;)

That must be very hard to do. Corn syrup and corn starch is in everything!

considering the havoc corn syrup and corn starch is wreaking on American diet, the Indians did not do us any favours. ;)

Love / What differences is there among Polish girls and British girls as girlfriends? [102]

I think Polish girls are more focused on their goals. And their goals usually go beyond having a good time.
I know that is a terrible generalization, so here is more. Because of these goals, Polish women are perceived as harder to 'get', therefore, more desirable.

Off-Topic / I am a Pariah: My Horror Story [44]


I think the problem might be that you tend to generalize. Even southern baptists are not all the same. Take time to meet people and judge them individually.

Maybe it's not the fact that you are Polish, or blond, that rubs people around you the wrong way.
For example, not ALL hip-hop is crap, I have enough Indian friends to develop an affinity for Indian food, I love to dance at Latin clubs, and definitely have been known to have some great times with bohemians and hipsters.

Finding open-minded, tolerant, unbiased people would do you much good. Maybe you should try talking to some of those "bohemians and hipsters" and shed some of your predjudices.

In US it is called 'dropping a dime'.
Crime Stoppers is an organization that promotes the community involvement in reporting crimes.
It is invaluable in helping police solve crimes.
