Love / Advice I am American! What does it mean a Polish female/women touches and rubs her nose? [33]

Hey guys! On a related note, I was on the bus the other day staring at a girl and she looked back at me, then kind of looked at the ground, then seemed to get a bit nervous, then, when I kept staring, she got up and moved to the front of the bus and sat with her back towards me. What do you think this means? :) :) :) I heard that turning your back to someone in Poland means that you think they have a nice haircut. Is this true?

Genealogy / Who are the Poles? Balts, Germanics, or Sarmo-Sycthians? [19]


Care to share, mon frere ? You may cite, for example, the folks living in Grodno who have Polish heritage, Lithuania, perhaps. My point is a general one, if you want to classify a group of people you need to set clearly recognizable parameters. Trying to figure out where the people living within the boundaries of the current borders of Poland came from is silly. Everything changes.

Genealogy / Who are the Poles? Balts, Germanics, or Sarmo-Sycthians? [19]

Really! What a silly question. The Poles are the people who live in Poland and/or have Polish citizenship. It's really as simple as that. Talking about DNA? Silesians have more Anglo-Saxon I'm sure, just as Poles whose families have been living in Suwalki for generations probably have more from the other Baltic States. DNA proves nothing. People migrate, borders change. Why would anyone write such an article full of pablum?

News / Price for the US ambassador position in Poland? $2,300.00 [10]

If $2,300 gets you an ambassadorship, sign me up. A senior official makes well over $100,000 a year. I think you have to be both friendly with the POTUS i.e. a campaign contributor as well as a know a bit about foreign service. While some ambassadors are a bit on the dim side, I don't think they'll take just anybody with a few thousand extra bucks lying around :)
