She thinks Polish-American is just American.

you make sure you are out of the house, lets say having a quiet time in the Polish Deli munching on kielbasa sandwich with sour pickles;)

Explain.

Either it is one of those threads in which you're supposed to forget everything quickly and just walk away with one bit of information ( in this case that Jewish/Jewish-American guys are pure evil and involved in human trafficking ) or the girl has serious paranoia.

do your homework.

In my opinion there are many things that people do that aren't a means to an end(they are an end in themselves) but people do them anyway

Slavic languages (I would think)
which are all equally useless in the USA, especially CA.

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.
All art is quite useless.

so please help me think of some reasons to study Polish.

Did you ever live/work in a Lithuanian gmina? Did you ever have contact with the Lithuanian minority? Naaaaw. Didn't think so.

Your local "Polonia Kielbasa Pierogies" newspaper doesn't count.

I fail to understand why anyone would live in a foreign country on a permanent basis and not embrace the local culture and language.

I'm curious... some of you agree that Jews are not white and are the root of all evil (to paraphrase).

But, then you also agree with thoughts like these, that those people who are different (whether it be because of darker skin, a strange last name, a Polish history) "feel a sort of solidarity" to one another. Isn't that exactly what you're saying the Jews do? Why when the Jews do this (if they do at all) is that evil, but when you do it, it's fine?

Also... I don't know where in America you live, but I've never heard anything like that where I'm from.

Where you do people get this stuff?

How did they get Copernicus genes?

there's been a genetic study showing that Copernicus had Germanic roots, not Slavic roots.

The result of the EMPOP database search is interesting from the perspective of Copernicus' maternal lineage. His maternal ancestors may have originated from Silesia, and can thus be of German descent. Copernicus' grandmother, Catherina, was first married to Heinrich Peckau, who was a member of the council of Thorun. After Heinrich's death, Catherina was married to a trader and famous enemy of the Teutonic Knights-Lucas Watzenrode. The same haplotype has been found in individuals from many countries, including Austria, Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. It is interesting to note that Copernicus' paternal ancestors may also have originated from Silesia. Copernicus' father, also named Nicolaus, was a known trader in Cracow. He moved to Thorun ≈1458 where he married Barbara Watzenrode. Nicolaus Copernicus was their youngest son. The Y-chromosome data that we obtained will be useful if reference samples from some of Copernicus' relatives along the paternal lineage are ever collected.

They wouldn't be letting them into the armed forces if they didn't want them to be Israelis.

Are those who talk of pierogis to their busia called Sofia more likely to be Tea Party members than Polish-Americans who have been here?

More personal attacks.

much luck

with women

Polish-Americans are certainly obsessed with ethnic purity

How often do we see them on here, boasting about how big the brains are and how much luck they have with women, and so on.

In fact, haven't you used it yourself in that way?

So perhaps you would care to compare their degree of Polishness to their political leanings?

Are the ones who talk about pierogis and Busia more likely (or less likely) to be from a particular part of the political spectrum than those who have actually been to Poland and than those who have done things to help Poland?

most of them appear to be true Americans.

I'm assuming that the question refers at least also to the Polish political spectrum, what with this being Polishforums and all that.

Any Polish politicians in America, DE?

Well, I dislike imperialism in any form so I don't see myself as part of that.

Funny that as I got told by a Mod quite some time go that I wasn't to go too deeply into American politics.

Poland: The Unofficial Guide. Aha, so which state is Poland in again??

The state is one of being in the pocket of the US.

I'd love to know when the Romans invaded the United Kingdom. Or when the Danes invaded, for that matter.

it's ok to for us to mess with each other but don't mess with us, if that makes any sense.

Britain.

This thread is meant for American politics only. As far as I know, most Polish-Americans do not vote in Polish elections.

I'd love to hear it - come on Polish-Americans, why can't you spell?

claiming to "actually see" the truth of counterfactual statements is not proof of any knowledge of history

An interesting way of saying that you know very little about the relative strengths (and weaknesses) of the Polish and Czech armed forces compared to those of the Nazis and you know the same amount about the Franco-Czech-Soviet treaty of 1935.

Either that or he has a knowledge of history which far outstrips your own

In fact, we can actually see that had Poland pursued a more sensible course of action, such as not invading her neighbours and concentrated on building alliances, an effective deterrent may have existed.
