Now that I think about it, none of the Peace Corps people I met out here were Polonia. And I have never met any VSO people who were Polonia either.
You mean 'they ran away and stayed out'? That's not really being unselfish, is it? Although I suppose that the selfishness that they displayed when they abandoned Poland explains why they think that they should have all of the rights that come with Polish citizenship but none of the responsibilities.

Strangely enough, I've actually met more non-Polonia Americans that have done stuff for Poland than the Polonia themselves. Shameful.

Rough translation: you acknowledge that you are utterly unable to explain why people should be allowed to be completely selfish and you wish you hadn't just been caught lying.
Does Polonia know that a proven liar is claiming to represent it? You're clearly happy to lie here: what's to say that you aren't also lying about being Polish in the slightest? Poles certainly aren't selfish egomaniacs but you clearly are.
Hahahahaha, completely off-topic there PWEI. Polonia is laughing at you. You've been pwned trick!

Yawn. Yet more personal abuse from somebody who knows so little about being Polish that he doesn't even know what a Polish grandmother is called. No attempt from him to explain why people should continue to enjoy their privileges when they have refused to meet their responsibilities. Instead just yet more personal abuse. Which shows us that there simply is no argumentation which can justify people being utterly selfish.
but these expariates know that it would be a lie inside because their hearts which are too withered and shrunken by petty resentments to ever be truly Polish.
