PolAms -- do you regard yourselves only as 'white Americans'? [187]
I dont get why these idiots keep saying we do nothing for Poland and how would they
even fricken know what we do
I'll be an idiot, you can be an insecure American trying to latch on to anything that might make you feel special, deal? My comment was in response to Mediawatch saying that he is doing the most important thing of all, defending a people who don't need to be defended. That's all. Seems to have struck a chord with you though. Sorry, but if someone calls me out as being "Russian" because they don't agree with what you have to say opens up the floodgates to call out them as a disconnected foreigner with casual ties to Poland. Quite a few Americans with Polish ancestry post here based on idealized casual views on threads regarding life in Poland, and then get their panties all in a knot when someone doesn't subscribe to the same idea. That's it.
I don't feel that I am doing gods work here in Poland, I'm making money here, that's my motivation. Creating jobs and bringing money into the country is just a side product of what I set out to achieve. No moral high ground there. Of course, I'm not claiming to be Polish either.
Its about things in general about Poland and Polish people. So according to you, once a Pole and or his family leave Poland they are suppose to not have any interest in their Polish ancestry?
Not at all, I just think you should stick to your interest in your Polish ancestry, and stop trying to defend things that you don't agree with. The comment that you made about defending Poles and Poland from lies and slander, that's what I take issue with. You are making yourself out to be a defender of all things Polish.
Are you now debating me on behalf of Delphiodomine now?? LOL Its interesting to see how the mention of "Russia" is hitting a nerve with you, just like with Delphiodomine.
Ah, there you go again.
As for my efforts in defending Poles and highlighting the good things people of Polish ancestry do, I don't know any Pole who told me, "NO DON"T DO THAT". "You must invest your time and money in Poland ONLY!" On the contrary, these Poles like what I do. Heck THEY WORK WITH ME AND EGG ME ON!!! LOL!!! How does that grab you??? :D
No problem there, I just came across your posts in the Smolensk disaster thread, and am basing my comments on that.
Like the Polish anthem says in so many words, where there are Poles/people of Polish ancestry, there is Poland, no matter where Poles are.
Interesting interpretation. I see it more as a song meant to motivate a people who didn't have a homeland, and to keep faith that one day their country would return, and they could live in Poland, as Poles. The first three lines make that fairly clear to me. To me, marsz, marsz refers to marching to liberate Poland, not maszerowac od polska...
