You like coffee, so do I, but I'm not drugs addict, and you sometimes sound like one
hope you are not high today:)
to the point!
well, funk you! do you want it back!
fine with me! We are leaving ! **** why Poland doesn't obey me /!:D
after we leave it can bust to dust for all I care.
ahw argument at least, well we could cut a deal with Russia, is not like they only waiting to attack us.

Why be so ******* enigmatic, spread it over!As I don't know the reason or reasons!
don't say, such a highly hypothetical nuclear attack from the middle east would be aimed against Israel and USA, Poland would have been a very unlikely target, anyway before Poland send troops to Iraq and Afghanistan to assist USA.
Funny thought, that by assisting USA with wars on "whatever you choose to called" Poland actually put herself in the line of fire!
Ah! I don't think so, nor for sending soldiers to fight wars nobody cares about in Poland, nor soldiers killed in action, nor for buying equipment from American corporation for over 3 billion $ Poland can ill afford!
In my opinion all above doesn't matter much as a bargain chip, all this could had been avoided as nobody forced politician's to do it.
However I cannot fail to notice that in case of visa waiver program Poland is being discriminated against, and as Poland soldiers are being slain on the foreign battlefields on USA government invitation,then I say, indeed it doesn't look good!
You fancy yourself that you do Poland some kind of favor?
Only bordering country which could win military with Poland is Russia and if Russia would like to launch an attack on Poland, USA reaction is yet to be seen :)
I doubt that USA would risk a war with Russia over Poland (nuclear weapon), so all this alleged favors are hypothetical one's.
Do you sill wanna gift? Yo' must be kidding
Regardless of whether or not the Poles "deserve" a visa waiver when entering the states, the visa restriction on Poland is there for a reason and the Polish govt. along with many of its citizens know this reason, or reasons, all too well.
Why be so ******* enigmatic, spread it over!As I don't know the reason or reasons!
If the war in the middle east ends up protecting other countries from say a nuclear attack, would those countries then owe Poland for sending troops to Iraq/Afghanistan?

Well, after having many discussions with Poles on this point, they feel superior to Russians, Ukrainians and basically all other Slavs. Wojna Polsko-Ruska subtlely shows that.

Internal politics, has nothing to do with missile shield, plus some media interest - average Pole don't give a s..te about it!
Fine, but its still doesn't answer question about NATO and EU members like Czech Republic or Hungary,what gives?
As much as I would like to believe it,......I think is simplified overmuch :)
Actually, I don't get this either. The Polish crying and whining about not getting the missile shield (when it wouldn't have protected Poland anyway!) was absolutely bizzare to say the least.

Don't know what you mean!
there no communal traits at all, sometimes group of right people do something but generally I would said that too much government interference and commercial attitude killed it as well or even better that in Aberdeen.
No, I'm asking about your opinion and other foreigners living in Poland, do you think that Polish people are different( in what way?) because they are Polish?
It is actually great observation, ?I think that only great barrier to understand others European cultures is language!
Language is the key in more ways then one!
Yes and no. If immersed in Polish culture for some lenthy time, It would still be colored (excuse me, coloured) by my native culture as frame of reference. Understood in the mind, yes, in the heart or instinctively? probably not.

Well, there can be a communal feel but too many are lone wolves and are growing to be jealous of their neighbours and what they have (in Poland). This is very noticeable in my home city of Aberdeen but I hope that Poland doesn't move more in this direction.

thats is generalization and stupid one, if both sides had different expectations, **** happens, and I wouldn't blame women but stupid loser's who expected pretty wife and maid for free at the same time!
And don;t use this term Slavic - people from Poland don't think about themselves in those

And how you call Americans? mongrels :P
Slavic women are so good looking everybody loses their mind and makes stupid decisions I think. Then they turn into champion complainers and belittle and henpeck their husbands all the time. I can't speak from experience but I've known plenty of people who've told me about it plus this forum talks about it all the time.
