Maybe you matured. Maybe your 'vibes' changed. Maybe you stopped wearing big clown shoes, who knows?
Our persona affects how others see and react to us.
why I didn't have the same problems partying with people in western Europe for example?

Maybe it's you.
Try Greenland.
When I lived in Poland I came to the conclusion that it's really hard to find people to have fun with.
Maybe it's you.
I'm gonna make a short list of towns where I used to live in Poland
Krasnik, Lublin, Swidnik, Pulawy, Siedlce, Radzyn Podlaski, Mikolajki

History / Poland's King Jan III Sobieski - the stopper of Turkish Janissaries! [64]
I took my then Italian girlfriend to that show at the Art Institute. It must have been 10 years (1999?) ago. A documentary film was also featured that showed Polish hussar history and the Vienna battle.
The "Lion of Lehistan" kicked a lot of butt in his day. Prior to the battle of Vienna, Jan was in charge of 14 previous battles. Some of his adversaries refused to fight him.
a few years back a saw tents and other stuff from the vienna skirmish at a special show at the Chicago Art Institute.. turks had some awesome gear..

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]
As a Polish American I like the Scots too but I don't know why. Maybe because my middle name is Wallace.

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]
Glaswegians doesn't know much history. It's true that some Polish forces were still fighting after one month in Poland. Additionally, Poles never became like the Vichy French and Poles had substantial armed forces fighting Germans in other theatres not to mention the RAF. Paris never had a anything like the "Warsaw Uprising".
Amazing what people don't know and yet develop their opinions on.
French surrendered after 3 weeks (they were attacked only by Germans)
Poland after 45 days (and we were attacked from the both sides: by Germans and by Russians)

I plan to visit Poland for the first time in 2010. Doubt if I'll live there but am curious to know how far $5000 a month (pension) will go. I speak Polish and have some cousins there.

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]
Black comedians in particular can and have spoken in the most insensitive way. Whether it's sex, or the "N" word, or characterizing people, there has been an allowance for them.
Only relatively recently have rappers come under (some) attack.
I don't think Blacks are free to spout anything offensive they want. Haven't you heard of defamation, libel or slander? It applies to everyone.

That's just an excuse. Maybe I 'feel' that ex-blonds need more drugs; well, I did before shaving my head.

I may be mistaken but I recall reading somewhere that 4% of all Poles are red heads.
Well, Ronald McDonald is a red head and he's doing well...........

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]
When I was a kid (hundreds of years ago), I grew up listening to Bohemian jokes. When I met someone who was Czech I took a good look at him and wondered what was different.
Nothing was but children are impressionable and that's where the ethnic joke is sociologically dangerous.
I rarely hear "Polock jokes" today. About 20 years ago in Las Vegas, I was listening to a comedian who started telling them. I shouted from the audience "tell me the same joke about yourself". The audience was quiet and the comedian asked if I was Polish. I told him "yes, now let's see how funny you are". I was surprised when he apologized.
A few people in the audience applauded (don't know if they were Polish or not).

(We) think that Spanish and Italian men (and women) are wonderful but our favorites are ambidextrous Brazilians who are 1/4 Aboriginies, 1/4 Macedonian, 1/4 Inuit and 1/4 Hmong. We 'feel' those are the best people.............

Ok,ok, you talked me into it. I live in Chicago and I'll buy (you) dinner. You don't mind being seen with an aging but sprite lothario, right?
I have two master's degrees (one of them from one of the top post graduate schools in the country) and a doctorate from the school ranked #6 in the U.S. I am tall, blonde, refined, slender and green-eyed. My skin is the clearest most beautiful porcelain. I have delicate features, and I have rosy lips, not to mention the hourglass figure and long, long legs!

When people tell me that I look Polish I take it as a compliment (I'm 1/2 Polish, 1/2 Russian and all American). Perhaps it's your refined manners that give away your Polishness?
i don't look polish at all ...... this morning someone told me are you polish???? ...... ...... are there any manners or common things polish people say that u can realize that that person is polish?????????
