Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]

Every country is the same,

Well, no. Actually, almost no country is exactly like the other one. As far as the rest, I agree with you.

History / German cemeteries in Wroclaw [17]

German cemeteries in Wroclaw

Alone the fact that there are German cemeteries in Wroclaw and some other Polish cities is more than understandable, it was Germany until almost the end of WW2.

Life / Polish are some of the best educated in the world [35]

Multiple college degrees means avoiding the real world

Less is more (very often anyway). Just look at the situation in Poland, many educated people and most of them have to travel around the World to make a living.

I'm not trying to offend anyone here, it's just the way it is.

Krauts and Japs have done it.

Let's call it a "business IQ" :-). Then again, there are many intelligent Japs and Germans.

As far as "lofty IQ's", well educated doesn't necessarily mean, they have a great IQ :-)

you are a result of the US system

Well, the system is not always determining what a single student makes out of it. There are many well educated people around the World, coming out of generally rather average education systems.

UK, Ireland / The number of Anti-English Poles... [228]

There are a handful of idiots in every nation.

In this case, this is not about idiots. Poles most likely believe you guys are stealing their women, that's it, lol
Besides, maybe it's a general frustration. No job or a low paying job or just the kind of job they're doing.
It could be other things too, to be honest, too many to mention.

History / Lwów, Wilno ... kresy - Poland have lost enormoust part of our heritage... [389]

Actually, My words don't collide with what you said

I didn't say anything against your opinion, I just believe that the most important thing for the Germans is that it was a part of Germany when they were born there. To be fair, it was a part of Germany for centuries and in some cases, always.

Agree. In case of Lithuania, Polish "influence" was actually limited to the Vilnius area.
In general it is up to a person to decide how he/she feels about it. Some where born there and say they are Polish and some say, they're Lithuanians. To be honest, waste of time to argue about it :-). I've met an old man who was born in Lwow/Lviv and he told me, he's Polish and then again some other people told me, they were Ukrainians.

sure, and Obama is a dwarfish giant from Venus - Wendy eh?

What I meant to say was that Vilnius area was definitely influenced much more by Poles than the rest of Lithuania. As far as the rest of it, ask some older Lithuanians how they feel about you. You'll be very surprised but why even try to discuss it with you, Americans are clueless when it comes to anything, don't you know? ....

Because of Poles like ironside I created my thread. It's hard to call someone a "friend" as long as you guys will be coming up with dumb ass comments like this him.

I know it's not all of you but "individuals" like ironside are messing up the reputation of others that really don't deserve it.

News / €11,700 to every migrant returning to the Polish capital and starting a business there. [110]

Furthermore, why should the EU fund this?

I feel for you guys. Now the whole western Europe pays taxes so Poles will come back home, a bad joke.

The EU should not bail out Polish incompetence

You're absolutely right about that.

We are always told that the smartest people in the world are here so let's see it.

Obviously they must be smart enough at least in this point, having someone else to pay for their needs.

News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If?

"If" is a good question. If you put it like this, whole bunch of countries around the world might emerge as a new super power but most likely never will. As far as Poland, I don't think that it will ever happen because the nowadays Polish welfare is based (mainly) on EU financial help. That means, that things could quickly change in Poland "if" or once the help quits coming.

News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

all these groups had one thing in common...european heritage!

Well, the European heritage in reality is still divided into many different heritages. Different languages, mentality, different interests in most of cases etc...

They showed that Europeans CAN work well together and build something great and successfull once they leave their little spats and centuries old grudges behind.

"the century old grudges" are still very present (as you see it very present on this forum and not only)

Poland, Germany and the rest of the european countries don't need more borders between them but less...meaning also mingling with each other.

I know, there are many people in Europe who would love those borders back :-)

Any european country alone has no big voice on the world stage whatsoever but together we are powerful!

Agree with that one

The idea about USE (united states of Europe) is great but it will take a long time (if ever) to make it work right.

In the US, people of various European ethnic backgrounds have more in common with each other then their ancestors from their various European nations.

Absolutely agree. In the states, we're all Americans, no matter where our ancestors came from.
In Europe, it's still a very long process to become one big nation. I personally don't believe it will ever happen. Too many wars, too much hatred.

(Earlier I was talking about Europeans in Europe, not Americans.)

Life / Poles - what other nationality would you say you are most like? [125]

history, love of fatherland,
honour, honesty, bravery, decency, magnitude of spirit and the overall greatness (which can
clearly be seen when you look at the history of both nations.)

Some of your points would be a great material to discuss about in another thread :-)
