The most dissapointed with Poland are those who have Polish origins. [35]
maybe false) observation? Is it because those people have in mind the idealised view of Poland seeded in them by their parents/grandparents?
You hit the nail right on the head Zeti. We American Poles especially the first generation, only have what we were told by our parents.Most of us looked at the Poland that our parents described. We grew up living that life in America.. We went to polish Parochial schools taugh by Nuns. We were taught the Polish language, all of the ethnic holidays, we celebrated Wigilia
with our wujas and ciotkas and sang Kolendy.. We had the oplatek and all of the trappings that went along with Wielkanoc.. This is the Poland that we remember. Even our Polish American music goes back to yesteryear.. We intend to keep it that way.
Its true, things have changed, even here in America, our children have lost the ability to speak Polish. I blame it all on Globalization, MTV, Rap music, and the general decline of morals. I remember the day that when we married, we could be assured that our wifes were virgins. That is true here in America too. With the influx of foriegners you can expect more of a decline.
I think that Yescze Polska nie zgynila, is a thing of the past. ( Polska ist Kaput.. AMEN!
