Life / Poles - what other nationality would you say you are most like? [125]

Trying to understand cultures solely in terms of alcoholic beverages is very superficial.

That was a joke. Sorry you did not understand it;-)

A parallel is anyhow that in many ways(if the amount is not too excessive) the beverage and the life style surrounding it is a sign or level of their people hedonism. That's the reason I mentioned it;-)

Whose economy is now dust because of lying, thieving, betraying, being all around unlawful and ineffective?
More than only stereotypes me thinks...

Germans have more than dirty hands in Greece in the very recent past. Don't forget Mercedes Benz and Deutsche Telekom and their recent bribery scandals there ;-)

Life / Gypies/Indian-looking women with kids beg for money in Poland [143]

We should all follow Frances lead, remove the beggers of ANY nationality...Aparently Britain is flooded with gypos from Slovakia, Poland and all ther other A8 countries...Maybe it wasnt just Romainia we shouldnt have allowed to join the EU :D

From what kind of tree did you step down?

Stop complaining and see that your governments changes the policies for immigration.

Sick of your double moral standards.

Do you think he was a gypsy?

No he his parents were Hungarian Jewish immigrants.

History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

we will serve 50 Germans at a time they will need to strip down and take showers before proceeding to reparation point.
Some Germans will be able to write a letter to family and state how much reparation they receive and how good everything went.

Can we choose the soap? ;-)

UK, Ireland / Ed Miliband, new Labour leader, talking about Polish immigrants yesterday [62]

They certainly dont look at what the working wage is for a builder, instead they say "oh I can do it cheaper" FACT..

That is called free economy market. In Germany we had the similar problems. It's the way it goes. The EU opened the doors and of course people are looking for opportunities - no matter from where they are.

I have issues with anyone that undercuts and English man

I don't, because your government allowed this situation and now crying or complaining over it is little bit amoral.
In Germany same situation. Face it, change sth if you can but get over it.

Japan is pretty much a monoculture but is very far from being barren.

98.5% Japanese, 0.5% Korean, 0.4% Chinese, 0.6% other
Those data are from wiki. Quite old I suppose, but they cannot afford to shut their doors ;-)

Sometimes the truth hurts....

Agreed.

I'd say that Mr. Eddi Miliband has an unsolved issue with his polish/jewish origins and that's why he mentioned the Polish in the interview.

Better for him I suppose to solve that first and then start the title race ;-)

USA, Canada / Poles and American Poles. What do you think about those two groups and their interactions. [85]

Nationality, citizenship, origin, identity... name it what you want. :-)

Everybody should call himself how he feels in this situation, no matter what others(organizations, government etc.) may have in mind.

What is f.e. Lucas Podolski? O.K., he's not American/American pole but I think the example in general is not too bad.

News / Coach crash in Germany. Polish coach... many dead [26]

One has to be a real *********** to refer to the bad technical shape of Polish buses in clear case like that !

Prejudices are hard to erase. That's typical. Unfortunately accusations are fast made. That's what is embarrassing.

This was a very sad and tragical accident.

Life / Polish are some of the best educated in the world [35]

that everyone wants to go to an American university

Unfortunately USA has good marketing. There are only 4-5 very good unis and they are all private and very expensive.

The few state ones are not so known...

But anyway, don't mix educations and economical reasons. ;-)

Life / Polish are some of the best educated in the world [35]

I can say that after High school Polish kids are better educated then American kids

Yes, agreed, but for how long more?

We are on the best way to soften our education just to be similar to US.

Why?

No reason to. They have great specialists with excellent knowledge of a narrow area but lack a lot in the wider specter.

UK, Ireland / Polish question: what's with the Germans, Brits? Foreign groups in Great Britain. [46]

Gerries had Hitler

Too easy simplifaction.

they both would like to be the dominant nation in Europe.

They are, what is good and bad.

Lets face it, who calls the most shots in the EU ?

F, UK and D on the long arm from over the ocean ;-)

they seem to see the Scots in a much more positive light

My favorite Scot is Sean Connery. ;-)))

UK, Ireland / Polish question: what's with the Germans, Brits? Foreign groups in Great Britain. [46]

They behave themselves and seem to like the fleisch (meat) on offer. Boy, German tourists are often overweight ;)

Of course. Disziplin!
A research, shortly released, says that Germans are the 2nd overweight nation in Europe, after Britains...and of course we like everything cheaper - saving money...;-)

Our Fräuleins are famous...we export them to the whole world!

What I saw on the beaches this summer from Germany is more for hiding in the basement. These younger generations have different focuses....

USA, Canada / Better life in USA or Canada? - expats opinions and your comparison [143]

Neither did any people who lived in that area...

What do you know about ex YU? Were u even born then? Did u travel to that area, ever? Reed books about YU?

Btw. YU in 1961 was one of the founder of the "block free nations" in Kinshasa.

US&A or CAN? Even with worse weather but nicer people, CAN.

Food / Is Polish food still more natural than in the West? [142]

But the point is that you said that food in "western Europe" was more likely to be processed than in Poland - did you not?

Yes I did. Why? U don't agree?

Of course there is always an alternative. ;-)

Food / Is Polish food still more natural than in the West? [142]

Can you explain - or give examples?

Just briefly for you.

F.e. many of the dairy products are not based on milk but on supplements of it in form of powder, flavour and colour. U think u consume sth because the taste etc. is familiar for u but actually it's fake.

Meat in mass productions is also modified in form, taste and flavour.

And so on and on and on....

Many of the big companies have laboratories which they need for food design. What do u think are they doing there?

Life / Poland, maybe the world's last bastion of faith [67]

if you are a atheist there is no hope for you. Christians have more in common with all people of faith, because there is a belief in one God, with atheists - there is no common ground.

Any examples? What makes u think that? Not everybody believes in the big mannitou.

Watch this movie, please. It has 9(!) parts, but try.

Food / Is Polish food still more natural than in the West? [142]

As it is in Germany, NL, and nearly all other countries in Europe. You have a choice too in the West.

Agreed. Luckily the customers can in small amount dictate what they want in terms of quality. Unfortunately that "better food" is more expensive and by logic only available for the potent customers.

I hope that Poland will not to the extend follow the "West train". During my projects I had all over Poland in the 90's and the frequent travel, I was positively surprised or better happy to eat food with the quality I remember from my childhood.

M-G (thinks it's nonsense to state that all food in the West is somehow processed)

Unfortunately the bigger amount is processed or genetic manipulated.
