Genealogy / Why Polish aren't white?? [272]

A bird does not know where one country starts and another begins.

That's because birds are stupid.

In our world race is as real as the imaginary human constructed political boundaries between nations.

Politics and nationality is not the same thing, you have multi-national states, nation-states, and multi-state nations, I guess those boundaries are as 'imaginary' as the 38th parallel because everyone knows that there is no such things as North Koreans and South Koreans, just Koreans.

Race is always a complex issue because it is an ill-defined human construct and people confuse things like ethnicity and nationality and culture with race.

That sounds like something a communist would say.

Food / Your favourite Polish foods! [180]

Tatare, it ain't Polish but we eat it anyways. Raw beef, raw eggs, pickles, onions, garlic, salt, pepper and vodka to wash away the mad cow disease.

History / Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]

Those soldiers who kicked you '41 from Dunkirk into the sea surely relished the revenge!

I guess Normandy in '44 was revenge for Dunkirk in '41.

...without the US in the first war and later the US PLUS the Russians in the second...

Funny you should mention the Russians in the second, bringing up the Treaty of Versialles and all, wasn't it the Germans who sent Ulyanov and his Bolsheviks into Russia? "Biting the hand that feeds."

News / Poland's Organized Crime [58]

Why is it that you never really hear about Polish Organized crime?

Because it practically doesn't exist. There is no such thing as a 'Polish mafia', just a bunch of opportunistic criminal gangs and elements. We used to call them 'white *******', since they were practically slaves to other organized crime syndicates like the Russian, Jewish, and Italian mafia's and could never really make it on their own, especially in the rural parts of Poland, where the peasants had their own way of dealing with these embarrassments.

So the Polish mobsters are better than the government, they are able work together with other nations not against. :-)

Wrong, the Polish government is the 'Polish mafia', for the very reason that they are able to work together with other nations and not against. :-)
