News / Lithuanian reality show - lost Polish sponsorship, criticized by Lithuanian Army [20]

Lithuanian reality show

TVN showed a village where not a single Lithuanian lives only Poles, and these idiots from the show come down and rip off the Polish language signs. They appear similar to Russia's Nasi youth nationalists.

Picking and destruction of bilingual signs in the TV program and the Lithuanian ambassador of disloyal Poles - the latter views the Polish-Lithuanian dispute about the spelling of names, status of the language and the situation of the Polish minority in Lithuania. Lithuanian MEPs believe that the EU leaders are introduced by the Polish side in confusion , so they sent a letter on this subject , inter alia, the head of the European Council, Herman von Rompuy .

A copy of the letter , which was also addressed to the Head of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, and the Prime Minister held the presidency of the EU Council of Hungary Viktor Orban , was also sent to the President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek.

USA, Canada / Canadian wanting Polish Citizenship? [30]

Poland is part of the EU, right?

I believe so. My uncle is Canadian born but married a Polish woman and has been living in Poland since 1995, he works in France from time to time.

Life / How many Jewish people live in Poland? [145]

well if Adam Michnik is not a Jew than who is?

btw what does 'practicing' have to do with being Jewish

That's the Jewish lobby's media brainwashing in practice making people believe that Jewish in ONLY a religion and not an ethnic group. I guess Semites look similar just by coincidence LOL

USA, Canada / Where Polish in NJ live? [58]

I agree there is still plenty of non EU students.

I've heard that somewhere as well. Last I heard they we're bringing in Bulgarians to work at the shore. Was on a cruise 2 years down in Florida and the whole crew was Bulgarian. So I think you're right it will be other poorer Eastern Europeans and Turks.

to rob someone, it doesn't mean that they have to have a knife or a gun to do it.

I know it doesn't, i just gave an example like with a knife or gun, to take with some kind of use of force.

I only wonder how did he figure out they were Polish

I wouldn't tell if they were Polish either they were dressed like everyone else, all tan like typical people at the beach. But he knew them because they were the same ones who did steal something before, i don't think he caught them red handed but when they left the previous time something was missing. Like i said they had a look on their faces like they knew what was up.

Well I did see the owner mad and the ones he threw out were laughing like they knew perfectly well what for. Plus I have a Polish friend who lives in Egg Harbor he told me the same thing, that the locals hate them for theft. A few bad apples is all it takes.

USA, Canada / Where Polish in NJ live? [58]

In summer the Cape May Polish population grows as many kids come from Poland to work for the summer.

You mean they used to come?It is not happening anymore.

Oh they stopped recently?? Thank God.. I of course didn't mind them coming and making money and it wasn't all of them but some of them were giving Poles here a very bad opinion. I've heard from numerous people that some broke car windows and stole GPSs and radios, stole food from convenient stores. I've even had the embarrassing moment of going to a pizzeria sown the shore and saw the owner throw people out before they even got a chance come in. I gave the owner a look he goes" They're Polish" i said so what I Polish too, he explained the whole story of them stealing. It's us the ones who live here that later gonna get weird looks because of some idiots that come for the summer and act like that.

UK, Ireland / Poles top the UK's EU crime figures [78]

Find it and I'd argue that you are less likely to commit crimes caused by feeling that you are lacking sth.

True one feels complete and like an adult.

The hard-done-by types, not the educated ones.

As the Polish saying goes boli cie this is really hurting them inside that someone else has more than them. But it's the same in every country, mostly the lower uneducated classes.

USA, Canada / Thinking about visiting America? Skip it or get molested and arrested for nothing. [79]

America's speciality

These days it's mostly in the media far less in real life. Since Jews control the media it's mostly them putting these texts out there, why? blaming us for the holocaust and wanting billions for lost real estate.

It was even proven that the Jewish lobby in the states said, "we'll make Poland the laughing stock through media if it doesn't pay up" that was in the early 90's and it's been going on ever since.

USA, Canada / Thinking about visiting America? Skip it or get molested and arrested for nothing. [79]

Really? i never got robbed or cheated out of money when i was out and i went out a lot.

Yea I didn't ever even here of anyone getting robbed and surely not stabbed or shot in Poland. The osiedle in Stalowa Wola where I used to live Zatorze was one of the worst in the city and that never happened. Teenagers and young adults fought after a football match between themselves, that was about it. You never see filth or crime in Poland like in the minority neighborhoods in the States, there's just no comparison.

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Dont remember which episode exactly but when Charlies fiancee's mother from Chicago arives, she meakes a statement: "...you dont have to tell me twice, Im not a pollock..."

Also, he had a girl supposedly from Poland once that was portrayed in bad light as well...

Yea but if the same was done with a Jew or minority it would be prejudice or racist.

you've never even been here

(mostly in a big city)

True. People in suburbs or out in the countryside don't experience this stuff, they can go their whole lives without seeing anyone getting stabbed or shot. It's the city, the intercity to be precise and it's ghettos. As for Police officers they get 30-35 K a year, if you worked in those slums where you risk your life on a daily basis you'd take money off drug dealers and keep it.

News / Lithuanian ambassador 'Poles not loyal citizens' [63]

Where did you read it? The referenced article don't say it at all...
Poles in Lithuania DO speak Lithuanian.

True they do speak Lithuanian as well, Polish at home. The Lithuanians would like them to assimilate completely forget their Polish roots and ONLY speak Lithuanian. That's the issue at hand.

News / Lithuanian ambassador 'Poles not loyal citizens' [63]

I don't know why some Poles in Lithuania don't want to learn Lithuanian when Poles in general were good at assimilating and learning the language of most countries they went to.

Because the Lithuanians are going about the whole thing in a forceful Stalinist way, persecuting Poles. No one wants to be forced to do something. Plus there were confessions of Lithuanians specifically targeting Poles just because they're the largest minority or just because they are Poles and Poland occupied their lands.

History / Controversial Chapters: Polish-German history texbook [8]

The history of German-Polish relations is full of suffering and mutual recriminations. Experts from both countries have been developing a history textbook meant to teach high-school students on both sides of the border a common narrative. But critics view the effort as destined to fail.

History / Why does the idea of a "Slavic Union" with Poland seem so popular on this site? [96]

Sokrates:
Common ancestry is not supported because its not a theory, its a scientific and antropologic fact and as such it is acknowledged.

Wrong.

Sokrates is right Delph. It's been proven in a European DNA testing that Poles are something between Czechs and Russians, leaning a little more towards Russians (probably since Czechs later mixed more with non Slavs). Of course Poles got admixture with neighboring peoples with came later, but there is a common Slavic ancestry and similar outlook.

News / Lithuanian ambassador 'Poles not loyal citizens' [63]

Look at it this way. They're in a country (Lithuania) right next door to where their ancestral homeland is. They live in a region that used to be part of Poland in which the MAJORITY of the people are of Polish decent, who speak Polish at home, who identify with Polish culture. They look, act, live as Poles only difference is they don't live there. Sorry but it's their choice, they're in a EU country.

News / Lithuanian ambassador 'Poles not loyal citizens' [63]

I was born in Stalowa Wola came here when I was 9, my Polish is just as good as my English. Let me rephrase what I said ,me talk to my Polish American (girl) friends (we only had a conversation about it) and they said they'll only marry someone who came from Poland. I wasn't talking about myself, although I did date one of them before.

Face it, she didn’t want to have anything to do with you or your friend, whatever – you were simply not her type.

What are you talking about? I'm Polish. BTW I dated one of them. You misunderstood what i wrote I said they don't want to marry American men just someone who lives there but came from Poland, who's Polish and speaks the language because they'd like their kids to also.
