Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Well, here in Sweden, when something is of bad quality you sometime say " omg that thing was so polish ". Why? Because poles used to sell crappy things here. And the truth is a lot of poles have always complained about their own country giving other nationalities the "right" to joke.

Just take a look how polish people on this forum are bashing polish universities...

I suggest that you give back all polish things from your museums and castles, which will live them half empty! You can always replace them with Swedish things of highest quality from IKEA!

I'm a pole living in Sweden but unfortunately I just can't keep my mouth shut about asking what Poland has that can compete with IKEA?

Striving for perfection even if only verbally!

No, It's about whining. Poles are experts in whining about how bad things are.

Only to insecure morons !

Yea probably, but still, poles shouldn't give any reason for it.

Oh! Do you have intimate knowledge of other nationality's to compare and form an credible opinion?

I live in one of the most multicultural cities in the world, so yes I have a very good knowledge of other nationality's to compare. I know people from almost every country in the world.

I love Poland, she will always be in my heart thus there are things I can't deny.
Poles are special. They have so much pride but so not capable of showing it.

There are so many polish people in western world not admitting their descent.

Unfortunately, that's how the real world looks.

What kind of people are you talking about? I don't see why they would go around calling themselves Polish if they weren't raised in the culture or don't speak the language.

It's not about saying you are polish, it's about the shame not admitting your descent.

You know individuals from every country in the world, but they are foreigners in foreign country, their are not typical specimen of their society, they alter they behavior to fit in!
I'm asking about society and country other than Poland that you know all the customs and ways intimately as well as the language to make a credible comparison !

Well, I may only know individuals from some countries, but I know for example many yugoslavians, albanians, arabs, iranians.

There is a famous quote among western poles:

"Jesli ci polak nie skrzywdzil to juz ci pomogl."

Study / Swedish folks in Poland! (I want to apply for university and live in Poland) [21]

Hi!

I've seen some swedes on this forum living in Poland. I'm very curious about that because I would really like to move to Poland. I'm polish myself but have been living in Sweden for almost my entire life. You have good jobs? How come you moved? Is that something you would recommend?

I love Poland but I'm also afraid of being forced to live under bad economic circumstances.

I want to apply for higher education (univ.) and I thought about Poland but from what I've heard my swedish choice would be a much safer card. Is it difficult to find a good job with a swedish diploma in Poland?

Regards=)

I speak polish fluently. It's not about the language. It's about my future.. What would I benefit from? Swedish diploma or polish diploma?

Jak długo uczyłeś się języka polskiego a gdzie? W Szwecjii? Niestety nigdy nie byłem w Malmo.

Moja mama jest polka wiec cale zycie sie uczylem =).
A to ze w Malmö nie byles to akurat nie szkodzi. Jedna wielka dziura.
