Food / PIZZA & KETCHUP served only in Poland? [159]

I don't think I would put catsup on pizza. ick! Maybe the catsup is supposed to be marinara sauce? That would be pretty good! Worked with a guy from coastal Mississippi who put Russian or French salad dressing on pizza, Not bad. Probably the best thing to have w/pizza is garlic butter to dip the crust end in. (walks away to pre-heat oven....)

A good mayo can be where it's at, but only on certain foods.

Wasabi mayo on a ham sandwich. If you try this, No need to thank me.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

I only ask because this is the opinion of my girlfriend. We both live in Chicago, and know Polish people. But she says that they hate being here, and look down upon Americans because they see us as rich and lazy.

The European mentality. Because they are collectivist, they believe that everything is a limited resource and anyone who has more than another is denying someone else their "fair share". They are trained to think this way from an early age. The circular economy cannot withstand growing internal demand or hoarding. Rich? As an American, I refuse to apologize for my prosperity. How insane it would be to regret success and blessings! I leave the self-loathing to you. Lazy? No, We just make it all look easy!

Just remember, If you get into trouble in the U.S, just say "Moose and Squirrel", While the Yanks are laughing, you can make your escape.

Food / PIZZA & KETCHUP served only in Poland? [159]

JustysiaS,
Let me give you my "American pizza perspective". If you like catsup on your pizza and that makes you happy, I'm all for it! Hell, If you want dog turds packed with gun powder and razor blades on your pizza, Knock yourself out! The idea that there is a right or wrong way to have pizza is way to confining.

Pizza is like a woman, The worst I ever had was, well, just wonderful!

Love / Polish Girls negative or positive personality trait? [267]

I married a strong independent woman seventeen years ago. She is evil and could destroy you all with one look! I will say that "iron sharpens iron" and would not trade our clash of titans marriage for the world.

Life / Why are Poles in other countries called "Plastic Poles"? [168]

Any plastic Americans on here? I want to have somebody to belittle.

We need to devise some uniquely American surnames and start using them.
Any help would be welcomed. (braces for sh1t-storm...)

Mine would be McSkifeather

Life / Why are Poles in other countries called "Plastic Poles"? [168]

Not all together untrue.
So when grandma McAninich called me to tell me about Bobby Sands, or, when my father followed Lech Walesa and solidarity and told me it was very important for our relatives, I should have just laughed and said "whatever, who cares"?

I see your point, but I still think you are kind of a douchebag.

Life / Why are Poles in other countries called "Plastic Poles"? [168]

I have never mis-represented myself

If this statement is true, Why are you harassing me.

one of those Americans who attempts to identify with a foreign country.

Poland contains the greater part of my family history. Would it be odd for me to have some interest in it?

any actual Polish or general European person will see you only as an American laughably trying to be something he is not.

Is this intended specificly for me or all others like me on this forum?

What is it you want Matowy?

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

I'm not justifying the nuking of those cities.

I am. I can also justify firebombing Tokyo. The raids on Tokyo killed more people than both nukes did. Funny how we chose the nuke argument just because it has a stronger emotional effect. We should ask some Chinese how they feel about it.....

Fast forward 65 years: My baby sister (speaks Japanese fluently) studied in Japan in her last year of college and I drive a Toyota.

Fun Fact: I have laid hands on an aircraft named "Bockscar"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bockscar

Christ, they're Europeans

Yeah, They're wound pretty tight bro! We all have different perspectives. I like to think that when they pick on us they are leaving someone else alone. Still love 'em though.

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

Have you been there?

Yes. I also do project work (Instrumentation) with them pretty regularly. I remember starting up a chemical facility in Poland in about 1992, All the boxes of control equipment had been rifled through and the fuses and lightbulbs removed. things were tough for them.

The place we stayed had 1 telephone in the lobby, when I went back a year or so later they had phones in all the rooms. It was a real eye opener.

Hey, I'm serious make them pay for all the security we provided since they hate us so much. Guess who had to foot the bill for all of that? We did.

They can't. Also, I'm not so sure anymore that they did'nt want to be under communism. We did what we did because we thought it to be the right thing at the time. forgive us if we were wrong.

One thing I've realized in 20 years of dealing with Europeans is that their mindset is as far from the American mindset as a Chinese would be from a Rwandan. I guess the beauty of this forum is that we can discuss these differences under a common language and see each others viewpoints.

Even if they are always wrong :) :)

Scrappy, Currently in Europe, Brussels is trying to assemble a nation of states. Geo-politically speaking, Any alliance with us is a threat to Brussels. (The BIG picture)

Europe per se, is not a fan of the US.

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

There's plenty of countries, some of them you lack education to know about that were a regional or global power centuries longer then US and faced much greater odds then America, you're not the first, not the last and definitely not the greatest.

Painfully true to a certain degree. Power comes and power goes. Same story different location.
With regard to the former empires and such, We don't need to know about most of them, they are not "our" history. I can see how it makes a difference to Europeans primarily due to their tribal nature and such. But here, we tend to remember the story not the actors.

Scrappy, you can't take this stuff personally. adjust yourself and come back.

Look, you know they hate us

I bow to no one. I just pick my battles carefully. Not every provocation needs a response. There are some pretty standard Euro arguments and such that get tossed out here pretty regularly. Some are genuine and some are intentionally crafted. This forum is a part of geo-politik as well. I actually look forward to Europe being the next super-power. I dont think they really have the will to impose themselves on anyone though. I think we could get back to the topic at hand, we've found each others buttons.

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

Bought it from a private owner(family friend). Paid $50 about 15 years ago. It was with the stipulation that I keep it for myself or in my family. This rifle had "significant" sentimental value to its previous owner. The money was at my insistance, She would have just given it to me. I will bequeth it to a nephew I suppose. (I take these things very seriously)

I remember British .303 rifles going for $20 in the 80s.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.303_British_Enfield

My mother had a .32 cal Walther ppk (pre war) that she carried. That is still in the family as well. I have one also, but it is a .380 ppk/s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_PPK

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]

I'm so confused, how am I acting like a douche?

The vinegar of truth that is your written word, burns their eyes when they read it.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

It will be interesting to see if there is a surge in passport applications once the teleprompter in chief starts making mince meat out of the country. :)

He will leave before we will. He and his cronies are the endpoint of an ideology that has led to failure, The Chemo for the cancer is mixed and treatment is near. They have tried guilt, threats, and even pitting us against each other. The people know what they know and all the govt is doing is destroying its own credibility.

IMO.

UK, Ireland / Born in Poland, living in the uK. Applying for Visa to the USA. [10]

Why the U.S.? You would of course be welcome here, but, I am curious why of all places the U.S. You do realize that we are all fat, stupid, gun wielding, racist, homophobic, bible-thumpers right?

Did I mention that we are fat? (Oh, I see I did... pardon moi :)

Food / Polish Herring Appetizer [21]

Well---you asked for it so--------------here it is !!!!!!!

YUM!! I am going to make this.

Would you recommend this melange of fighting tastes? This should go well in the USA.

The store variety pickled herring in the US is actually quite good I think. I buy this brand at my local market when I am being lazy.

History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]

Why have the populations in 3rd world countrys doubled in the last 70 years?

Could it be the Fat, **************, WHITE FARMER?

Nomaderol, Dont you recognize prosperity and GODS BLESSING when you see it?

Are you so blind in your hatred of capitalism and white people that you cannot see this?

The truth is that YOU PEOPLE have become so accustomed to the generosity of others that you now think yourselves entitled to it.

Like a baby bird with its mouth wide-open you are. Waiting to push your mother from the nest when you are large enough!
