USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]


crappy explanation based on ignorance as we have farmer's markets all around the US and anyone who's willing to spend few bucks more, can eat healthy products on daily basis.

[quote=Monia As a proof, that Polish cuisine is healthy may serve a fact, that in Poland the percentage of obese people is insignificant. [/quote]

46% of the Polish population is obese - is insignificant to you?

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]


The question should be, why are Polish restaurants not successful in the world. If it's such a great food then why almost no one else likes it other than the Poles? Your food is not entirely bad, few things are OK but it will never be popular in most of other countries.

no, I'm a Polak just like you too, only a little bit more realistic about everything Polish.

USA, Canada / Do you speak English? Have you lived in America? New LOVE/HATE list......... [144]

[quote=convex I dislike that people in the US feel a sense of entitlement due to their country of birth[/quote]

entitlement to what? At least you live in Poland since you obviously (according to your own list) dislike America.

Genealogy / Being ashamed of Polish ancestry? [156]


nope, either one is a Pole or he isn't, simple is that. Nothing to be earned here.

Genealogy / Being ashamed of Polish ancestry? [156]


A Yank (any nationality here) is a Yank and not a true Pole. He can be an American of Polish ancestry, that's all. Whether he/she should respect the country of his ancestors, everyone has to decide it for himself. It's good to be aware of where one is originally from and show some respect too but no one should be looked down to just because he feels American, German etc. and because he has developed feelings for the country he's born and raised in. I personally see it as ridiculous for someone who's born and raised abroad to call himself a Pole (any nationality). If one considers himself a Pole, he should move to Poland and live there (I'm not talking about people who are born and raised in Poland and who just left Poland to make some money and go back).

USA, Canada / Polish or American Education? [180]

PennBoy HAHA other way around silly boy. The level is 3 to 4 grades behind Poland. Polish 8th grade grads know the same or more math, history and science than American high school grads. Only American universities are better and that's a fact (money)

You're talking ancient history, man. Your education system in Poland sucks (nowadays) and your kids are just as dumb as any other kids. I had a chance to mingle with your people for quite some time and I speak from my personal experience.

C'mon be real, man, huge chunks of nowadays Poland were much longer German than Polish. We all know it, no need to argue about it.

News / Polish children boosting standards among English pupils, study suggests [16]


Really? I'm not trying to argue with you guys but here in the US, your countrymen live more for themselves, have their own shops, pubs etc. Most of them don't even speak English well (and that after living here for many years).

I know but in this particular case we're talking about your countrymen.

Too much work, David ;-)

Love / Polish women and foreign men [76]


Well, I'm not saying it to bash you guys but I've heard it to from quite a few Polish girls before too.

Love / Do you think that Polish should stick to Polish? [128]


Of course, you guys need stick to your kind, especially when you live abroad (freaking ridiculous). Why did you decide to live in another country if you don't care about having your host country's friends? If you love Poland so much then why not just stay in Poland?

Nothing's wrong with Poland and Poles but be real people, if you decide to leave Poland, stick to your decision and at least try to adjust to the new environment.

Travel / Tri-city travel (want to see Gdansk and Sopot) [10]


Agree, not only a nice place to visit but also, the best place to visit in Poland.

It's fun to have sex in any language as long as you're good in it.

News / Anty-Polish v column is located in White House [88]


c'mon girl, you can't deny that many Poles don't like Jews. It's a known fact even in Poland.

Half of our readers believe that anti-Semitism has long been common in our country and it is not socially stigmatized . On the other hand, 12 percent . considers that no anti-Semitism does not exist. The results of our probe with 15 hours .

In a recent " Newsweek " Tomasz Lis said that in Poland " anti-Semitism and hatred are still going strong ," and is not a marginal attitude . In support of their argument has calculated that the kiosks are still available anti-Semitic pisemka , forums entries appear on Pejsach , Szechterach and enemies of the nation , and in the stadiums outcry anti-Semitic slogans .

The internet is full of it. I don't believe that whoever writes about it in Poland is a Jew.

he really needs to go. Not only because of Walesa of course, he sucks in general.


Pick your link:

besides, no need to read that or any other book, I was in Poland myself and I've met quite a few people who didn't like Jews. Listen, I'm not saying that all of you hate them but to say that no one or only a few you of you do, is an exaggeration and you know it.

It should be easy for you to understand it if you scroll up and read what got it all started. Nothing serious ironside, I'm only stating that some of you guys (considerable amount), don't like or even hate Jews and we all know it's true.

absolutely not, you can like or not anyone you want (as long as you don't hurt anyone).

I only replied to Monia because she basically denied anti-semitism in Poland.
She said: "their constant nonsense claims of Polish anti- semitism".

The idea of hating or disliking an entire nation is wrong. It would be wrong in any other case too (for example if one says that he hates Poles, Americans, English etc.)

News / Anty-Polish v column is located in White House [88]


You can call it any way you want but It doesn't change the fact that hating an entire nation, ethnic group, race or religion is wrong. If you really have to hate someone, then hate Mary or Frank who accidentally are Jewish, Polish, American etc. but not everyone around them too, simply because they belong to the same group of people.

Is there anything else you want me to tell you?

Now, if you still believe, you need to hate them, I can't stop you.
