Yes, it is so unChristian. I am glad you noticed this aspect of the matter.
Do you ever ask yourself why are you so mad at those "Polonians"?
Why start all those threads about who knows more about Poland, accusing them of not being Polish, all those fights trying to strip them of their "Polishness".
Really, why?

It means that Am Polonia are of true Polish origin.
PS. Dear guys, isn`t it time to start loving each other at last? After all, most of us are of Christian roots, even non-believers. Peace!
realize many members of the polonia (especially those in chicago, for instance) are prostaki from bialystok/zakopane, but you are totally ignoring the fact that Poles in Poland are still racist/prejudiced.

Yes, but ..... it is still a nice opportunity to take sides with Am Polonia who are irritating on everyday life basis, but in times of trouble, never fails.

Still great.
Poles love wild mushroom hunting, while Ams and Brits - don`t. Germans - do, but only a little.
The view that makes most Poles` heart pound with exhiliration - a basket full of noble mushrooms from Boletus family.
Contest!
Pickles!
Children are taught to pick up good mushrooms since preschool.
That is why fatal cases of mushroom poisoning amount to only about 10 annually.

No, I am not a comedian. I am dead serious now.
Sorry, delph, you just don`t know about all campaigns that Am Polonia organised for Poland during post war period. Polonius wrote about it in his closed thread.
BTW, why is Polonius` thread still closed?
Hard job.
comedy like that deserves a reward!
No, I am not a comedian. I am dead serious now.
You mean like how they rushed to Poland post-WW2, pre-September 1st 1939, mid 1989 and all those other times?

However, you can`t deny one fact - they are zealous patriots of Poland. Yes, it is often warped, but what is better: warped patriotism or complete indifference?

History / Surveillance in Poland during communism [29]
Not really similar, except for stalinst 1950s. In Eastern Germany, the communist grip on the society was always much tighter than in Poland. East German soldiers shot a few hundred people on the Berlin Wall, after all.
While Solidarity was born in Poland, not Eastern Germany. .
Nobody is able to provide exact info on the number of spies/agents in Poland, but I heard about 100.000 informers who worked for communist secret services at the peak times. But their number varied through decades.
I have heard about the East German files and that were kept and the figures around the number of spies per person, but I haven't heard much about what was it was like in Poland (assuming it was similar).

hahahaha So, drinking Black Label whisky puts you only one class above? I thought it would be two classes at least! :):):):)
Sorry, nope. To prove I am above common guys, I order and drink genuine champagne in genuine leather. I usually do it in Krakow Market Square for everybody to see. :)
Little wow for encouragement. :):):):)... You started well..... It is a fish tank, indeed.
Could you develop this idea a little further?
