I'm just kidding, sorry. My missus has bouts with depression also. On a happier note, my pecker is still known as "The diamond cutter" round these parts. Wooooo-Hooooooooo!

Life / Can foreigners really understand Poles? [136]


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.

Food / Burgers, why not in Poland? [54]

The beautiful simplicity of a burger with swiss cheese and a slice of sweet onion on toasted rye is sublime. Mushroom and Swiss burger? Yes please!

I think many Europeans just dont have the sophisticated tastebuds required to process the amount of awesomeness that a good native burger-master is capable of producing. Same thing with BBQ ribs, prolly.

I've driven it in Seattle but not SF. Was in SF in 07' for a spell. Nice brunch at the Cliff house.


Rolling blackouts were a completely manufactured event in the Enron days. I guess the grid could be in pretty bad shape there with the financial situation.


Well, I don't know that Its a problem per-se. Ohio is one of the more populous states and has many cities that have the usual issues. Our cities began to decline 30 years ago with the departure of heavy industry. Dayton is about 45% black and 51% white. Understand that its really not about race but culture. Black folk hate n*ggers too. I actually enjoy the stress and chaos, I kind of thrive on that stuff. I'm the Michael Savage of Ohio.

Thats because you live in Mexico. Complaining doesn't equal fact.


Um, I'm pretty familiar with it. It's really not bad. Could always be better though.


B+ for me.


I live with all of the above, I stand by my first post. There is a reason I bought acreage an hour from Dayton. Its my family and friends "lifeboat" if war breaks out.

Nomaderol, Dont you recognize prosperity and GODS BLESSING when you see it?

Are you so blind in your hatred of capitalism and white people that you cannot see this?

The truth is that YOU PEOPLE have become so accustomed to the generosity of others that you now think yourselves entitled to it.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]


He will leave before we will. He and his cronies are the endpoint of an ideology that has led to failure, The Chemo for the cancer is mixed and treatment is near. They have tried guilt, threats, and even pitting us against each other. The people know what they know and all the govt is doing is destroying its own credibility.

IMO.

History / Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]

Bought it from a private owner(family friend). Paid $50 about 15 years ago. It was with the stipulation that I keep it for myself or in my family. This rifle had "significant" sentimental value to its previous owner. The money was at my insistance, She would have just given it to me. I will bequeth it to a nephew I suppose. (I take these things very seriously)

I remember British .303 rifles going for $20 in the 80s.

My mother had a .32 cal Walther ppk (pre war) that she carried. That is still in the family as well. I have one also, but it is a .380 ppk/s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_PPK

I bow to no one. I just pick my battles carefully. Not every provocation needs a response. There are some pretty standard Euro arguments and such that get tossed out here pretty regularly. Some are genuine and some are intentionally crafted. This forum is a part of geo-politik as well. I actually look forward to Europe being the next super-power. I dont think they really have the will to impose themselves on anyone though. I think we could get back to the topic at hand, we've found each others buttons.

History / Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]


Painfully true to a certain degree. Power comes and power goes. Same story different location.
With regard to the former empires and such, We don't need to know about most of them, they are not "our" history. I can see how it makes a difference to Europeans primarily due to their tribal nature and such. But here, we tend to remember the story not the actors.

Scrappy, you can't take this stuff personally. adjust yourself and come back.

History / Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]


Yes. I also do project work (Instrumentation) with them pretty regularly. I remember starting up a chemical facility in Poland in about 1992, All the boxes of control equipment had been rifled through and the fuses and lightbulbs removed. things were tough for them.

The place we stayed had 1 telephone in the lobby, when I went back a year or so later they had phones in all the rooms. It was a real eye opener.


They can't. Also, I'm not so sure anymore that they did'nt want to be under communism. We did what we did because we thought it to be the right thing at the time. forgive us if we were wrong.

One thing I've realized in 20 years of dealing with Europeans is that their mindset is as far from the American mindset as a Chinese would be from a Rwandan. I guess the beauty of this forum is that we can discuss these differences under a common language and see each others viewpoints.

Even if they are always wrong :) :)

Scrappy, Currently in Europe, Brussels is trying to assemble a nation of states. Geo-politically speaking, Any alliance with us is a threat to Brussels. (The BIG picture)

Europe per se, is not a fan of the US.

History / Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]


I am. I can also justify firebombing Tokyo. The raids on Tokyo killed more people than both nukes did. Funny how we chose the nuke argument just because it has a stronger emotional effect. We should ask some Chinese how they feel about it.....

Yeah, They're wound pretty tight bro! We all have different perspectives. I like to think that when they pick on us they are leaving someone else alone. Still love 'em though.

Not all together untrue.
So when grandma McAninich called me to tell me about Bobby Sands, or, when my father followed Lech Walesa and solidarity and told me it was very important for our relatives, I should have just laughed and said "whatever, who cares"?

I see your point, but I still think you are kind of a douchebag.
