Actually I think there are a lot of decent film makers in Hollywood who tell good stories in good films. A lot of the movies make you question faith and whether there is more out there than just what you see. I think some of the best films in the world are from Hollywood. Yes you get crap too but Polonius if you want to have a go at institutions that disregard Christian morals I would look more to television programs that mock Christianity or news media that try to show Christianity in bad light, rather than movies from Hollywood. There are very few Hollywood movies that are all about making fun of or mocking Christianity. Yes some of them tend to promote a very 'unChristian' or immoral way of life, but you have to learn to pick and choose the decent ones.

News / Too much change in Poland?! [25]
But isn't the unofficial hidden reason that Turkey is not being let in to the EU, because it is a Muslim nation and if it gets let in then Muslims from there can travel freely in Europe and cross boarders with no problems? I think Europe is starting to realize slowly that is did not have its eye on the ball with Islam but I am not sure if it is yet ready to embrace its foundation again, Christianity.
Haha yeah and the shopkeepers [tend to be women] always as you if you have 1 or 2 because they are too lazy to look for it in their till. They have even started to do this in Polish shops in Britain ['ma penna' or 'ma dwa penny.]'

I think the feeling is different now. Back then people left during the PiS leadership and voted for PO here. Now many are fed up of the PO government and vote for PiS. Many are also leaving because of PO. The weird exceptions are those that left during the PO government because they were tired of the quality of life in Poland under it, yet they still vote PO who promise to improve at the elections and talk about how terrible it would be under PiS. Then when they win it is the same old same old.

It just worries me as a Catholic, to see what Poland might turn in to if, going abroad for over a particular amount of time, you lose your write to vote. This way if too many Polish people leave and too many expats with completely different values to those that were traditionally Polish, move in and start voting for how the country should be run, Poland will cease to be Poland.

I hear some opinions that some vote for how other must live. Yes there are those, but there are also those who left the country and vote for PiS for example, then if PiS gets in to power and improves Poland as they hope they will, they will probably return. The reason they vote is so that they can return. If they do not plan to go back ever again, then yeah there probably is not much point in voting. Although having said that, some people who live in say, the USA, still care about Poland and want it to be run by decent patriotic people, that is why, even though they do not live there, they still vote for what they consider to be the best government.

I doubt that black and white is going to be a thing of the past any time soon. Do not forget, any time you get a black TV show, black sitcom or awards for black people only or 'ethnic minorities' only such as the NAACP awards in America, this is a reminder that we are different. As long as stuff like this continues to last, it is going to constantly remind us of color. You know sometimes you can be watching a sports event and completely forget about color, then if a black players scores a goal [say it is football], you might get 'he is the first black player to score in this type of final' or something similar to that and then is hits you, oh yeah, he is black, and I'm not, so we're different.

But on the serious side, and I have said this before, it is terrible that people vote for a party just because they do not want others. It is also sad to see PO is only able to win by convincing people how terrible it would be if opposition parties managed to win.

It is worrying but I think it is up to the government to sort it out. Couples leaves Poland to have their children in other countries because they feel they can provide a better life for their family there. Speak to some of them and you would see that they would return in a flash if Poland did more for families and young people in general. Of course some would stay anyway as they are not patriotic and just want to live somewhere else [you can often tell you they are as they do not even speak to their children in Polish, since they have not intention of returning to Poland] but the majority would go back.

Generally though the PRL was not accepted by the majority who saw Poland as an occupied country during this time, unable to make its own true decisions.

It's a biased question with an obviously implied answer. The expats might know know what the living conditions are like currently in Poland but that does not mean they know more about Poland, let alone care more about it. If somebody lived in Poland for many years [say 30 or 40] and then moves and only goes back once a year for the following few years, then what? They stop being Polish? Do they really?
Who knows better how Poland ticks...the Polonia crowd living in Chicago and coming over once a year (if ever) to Poland...or the expat/foreigner who lives here year in/year out, works here, has his/her Polish friends, pays taxes

Love / Interracial Polish girls [19]
Well there is a difference in many of the black people that move to countries like Poland and other Eastern European countries and many that live and have lived in the USA and Britain for many generations now. I know that the black people in Poland generally tend to be well behaved and often quite intelligent, but that is because they are a minority in Poland, a real minority, not like Mexicans or Indians in the USA or Britain. There are actually very few of them. If they settle in and we start to have many more of them and future generations, there could be problems, like there are in the USA and in Britain. I know it might sound rude, but looking around some of the run down places near me that are about 85% - 90% black, I stick with this view. I feel this is the case in general though, if a nation lets in too many foreigners, then it loses its identity and goes to crap, if it just lets in a few of the most educated, it can be fine.

I assume you do not speak the language because it is not spoken in your family as they are probably 2nd or 3rd generation or more? If you know some Polish you can feel even closer to your heritage.
