I call it our pizza because millions of Italians are a part of this nation and so the pizza they make became one of our favorite foods in the US. Besides, it tastes different than Italian pizza made in Italy (to me anyway).
it would be ignorance if we didn't know where pizza comes from but we do and that's why it's ignorance to assume that we don't know it.
Oh, c'mon hun, you're big boy, you can take the heat :-)
Our pizza!! Itialian pizza is the same right across the country, thin crust sex on a plate IMO. Sure there are some decent pizza joints in the US, but you cant say our pizza unless youre talking about big companies such as pizza hut.

yeah, yeah, yeah WB, we don't know that pizza is Italian, lol Now you're being ridiculous WB. Chill WB, ridiculous is not a bad word, sweetie pie.
I'll tell you something, I ate pizza in Italy and I have to say that our pizza is better (you'll most likely disagree as always) and that's why I said earlier that it's a matter of preference after all. Now talking about Polish food, it's very specific in its taste and it's simply not the kind of food that will please many people other than Poles. OK, you like it because you live there and because you're different (again, honey bunny, different is not a bad word).
Everybody (except Americans) know that Pizza is Italian, curry is Indian and the Chinese eat dogs. It wasnt a specific dig at yanks by any means, just a general lack of understanding with regard to Polish food, kind of a "you don't know what your missing" deal. Ignorance isnt a bad word, chill you're panties little one.

It has nothing to do with ignorance, it's a matter of preference after all. Different culture, different taste. Also, they obviously failed to efficiently advertise for their food.
I think its ignorance, people simply arent aware of what Polish food is, many would assume Polish food means loads of cabbage, pierogi and sausage. Its so much more and mostly untainted by all the crap you expect these days.

Not really PB. For example the GerAms, have their clubs and meet there every so often but don't build communities the way you guys do. OK, obviously I can't say how it is where you live but here, other than some business scattered all around the state, you don't see anything like it is in Chicago or NYC (or some other big cities) in Polish communities, where everything is written in Polish and where everyone speaks Polish.

It must be a very Polish area where you live then. You guys almost always live together in your little communities (little Poland) while others tend to mingle with the general population.
Not a single German restaurant in 30 Miles radius here. But there are a few Polish place. I think it's all relative. If there is a concentration of some minority, their food will be prevalent in the area.

and I'll do just that by saying that we're greedy, aggressive, lucky and brilliant thieves (your words), right? C'mon.
so now you're saying that all it takes is luck to become wealthy. What about hard work (no matter what type of work)? Even if all you got comes from your previous generations, it doesn't matter, someone had to work hard for it in the past this way or another and it's not all just luck. You know, not everyone becomes wealthy by being an aggressive thieve even if he's extremely lucky.
it's an easy task by our population of 310 mln and and by the wide variety of all kinds of different cultures here. It's much easier to keep a country clean where almost all people belong to one culture, race and religion. On one hand, the mix of all of it helped to develop this country to what it is today but when it comes to crimes, different cultures thrown in one pot, means a lot of trouble. Look at Germany, their crime rate increases constantly since they started mixing. You can't make everyone happy. Just like everything else in life, the positive has also its negative sides and the other way around.
look what got our conversation started Ashley. I got upset by some people calling us lazy and you replied with "Since when was the economy a reflection of the workers? I would say it's the other way around..."
and then you said "prosperity is a legacy of theft, luck, conflict, brilliance and greed...". By making those comments, you were basically denying the fact that it takes an effort of the entire nation to build the wealth of one country.
but you also undeniably said what I just repeated above so I guess, it's your choice now what you're going to stick to.

you have little more in your pocket than you would have had on welfare all those other forms of help are pulled away from you. So,unless you can be 100% that the job you take will pay very well and be a secure position long term it is very often not financialy viable for a lot of people to bother coming off welfare.
it makes perfect sense to me but as I said earlier, it doesn't mean at all the you guys are lazy as he was trying to prove it.
who these days with bills to pay and families to feed can afford to only have secure work for 4 maybe 6 months a year?
