News / Anty-Polish v column is located in White House [88]

It is no surprise for me that this eventually has happened .

I agree. Like news anchors the President reads what his staff prepares for him. It's other people who post their own personal political views and resentment for other nations, the President was just simply ignorant enough to go along with it.

News / Will EURO 2012 be a proud moment for Poland and its people or set back Poland 20 years? [86]

A rather good documentary.

Hypocritical British documentary. Go to Racism in association football on wikipedia the UK takes up half the page:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_association_football#United_Kingdom

Most beatings (and killings) in Polish football are white on white. Like last years killing of a Cracovia fan killed by 20 masked Wisla supporters who butchered him with machetes.

News / Marion Barry insults Polish people calling them "Polacks" [33]

There's your answer, little sarcasm for your ignorance, I would do the same if I was the Puerto Rican',

I think you mean his ignorance.. he wasn't being sarcastic silly, he looked shocked and worried that I might say something to him about using it. Do you even live in the States?

News / Marion Barry insults Polish people calling them "Polacks" [33]

BS, are you saying they lack the basic knowledge on the very issue they themselves struggle with on daily basis even now in the US.

It happened twice. Once in New York I was chating with some Latinos and asked if they're Mexican one answered 'my friend's here are Mexican I'm Puerto Rican' I told him I'm from Poland he says' ohh ok Polack' I told him it's offensive like using the N word he says 'ohh I didn't know.' Another time also a Puerto Rican but here in Philly said 'my friend Tomek is a Polack' I explained it again he replied 'so how do you calls yourselves, Polish?? I replied yes. People who live in their own little ethnic communities don't really know.

Marion Barry insults Polish people calling them "Polacks"

I've said it before on the forum many Latinos or Blacks don't know that the word Polack is offensive. They hear it said and think it simply means a Polish person. Besides who cares, Marion Barry is a ex crackhead with holes in his brain.

Well if the Polish embassy in London says 850 thousand Poles now reside in the UK it's easy to understand.

I was talking about you and your incredible luck. :):):):):) Born with a silver spoon in your mouth? :):):):):)

Yes, that`s interesting. I have just thought that most US Poles` origin can be traced back to south-eastern Poland.

Are you really that stupid or you're just playing?? where are you getting all of this from? I just told you that it's not so much a coincidence when looking at Poles who come from a particular part of the country, your map even points that out.

No silver spoon. And not so much a coincidence since most Poles in the US are already pro PiS. I also come from southeastern Poland which is very pro PiS.

News / Presidential elections and debates 2015 Poland [472]

A month ago, Zbigniew Ziobro, leader of a newly formed conservative right wing party, Solidarna Polska

PiS is a bit extreme sometimes (or at least it's current leader) I've heard from many Poles that they like this party. Hopefully it will go straight to the top.

History / The story about German- Polish reconciliation [194]

The story about German- Polish reconciliation

From the early 90s until the end of 2010 Germany has invested over 20 billion euros.

paiz.gov.pl/poland_in_figures/foreign_direct_investment

Germany has been also the main source of EU's structural funds flowing into Poland. Infrastructure being built, jobs created is enough for reconciliation.

Finns have completely revamped their education system and have been flying up that table.

Same school same teachers teaching all students together. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8601207.stm

Questionable123

You are truly an ignorant nitwit who gets his information from guessing and assuming. The OECD's comprehensive world education ranking report, PISA, is out. Find out how each country compares...

guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/dec/07/world-education-rankings-maths-science-reading
PISA Programme for International Student Assessment ranks Polish high school students 12th in the world, US 14th.. read.

USA, Canada / Polish or American Education? [180]

Mind you the schooling system is much harder in America than say for example in Europe country such as London. LOL YOUR A FUCCIN IDIOT. You must be Polish. Maybe you need to go back to school.

HAHA other way around silly boy. The level is 3 to 4 grades behind Poland. Polish 8th grade grads know the same or more math, history and science than American high school grads. Only American universities are better and that's a fact (money)

Have you been to America?

Yes I've been living in Philadelphia for 21 years, been to Boston, Chicago, Florida, Detroit etc. Didn't say all Americans but many are ignorant about the world, especially compared to their European counterparts.

I know..but were were talking about Poland.

middle class in the USA lives well compared to most of the world....they used to live better.

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

Did you finish high school? Why don't you look at yourself first before pointing out Polish people, Americans can never take any sort of criticism of their country.. Because they are THE best in everything. Meanwhile European students know a whole lot more about the world and been to more places. (Only 21% of Americans hold a passport) Typical ignorance.

unhappy with the value of the dollar falling (prices rising) wages remaining the same

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]

let's consider your buying power after all that work. in Poland, a good salary is around 3000zl/month net for most people

True. My friend who has a pretty good position in the company he works for and a doctorate makes 3400 PLN a month.

Well I knew many Poles who've been here in the States for years, were unhappy with the value of the dollar falling (prices rising) wages remaining the same and less work, took their savings sold their homes and went back to Poland and are happy there. The worst thing is a start, if people have money they can easily start and have a good life in Poland.

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

Seriously?

Many Nigerians in your neck of the woods?

You'd be surprised how integrated America's cities neighborhoods have become, more or less since the year 2000, even the better ones. When I came here in 91' African immigrants were very few, now there are many Nigerians, Ghanians, Liberians etc.

Queuing and basic manners are a foreign concept to them.

On the whole compared to Africa-Americans they are better behaved. But then there are people for whom it doesn't matter how polite their neighbor is. White or Black many don't want interracial mixing. Here's Muhammad Ali explaining it on a British show..
