Life / Is it True that People in Poland Dislike Charity? [13]

Poles have very strong family structure so they assume if you need help you should go to your family. And being from Socialism, it is assumed the Government will help you.

Love / English man dating Polish lady [5]

These sort of things don't usually end well. The ethnicity and especially the nationality of your partner should be a concern after you hit it off with them, not the other way around. If you want a serious and high probability of working relationship specifically with a Polish woman, you should become involved in Polish society. That shouldn't be a problem in England with the influx of immigrants recently.

If you are trying to find a ''bride for order''.....good looking Polish girl that wants to live with wealthy British man. Eventually these kind of women find a younger/richer partner to replace you with.

Genealogy / Do you think all Slavs are white? [178]

Is the old saying: The word slavery comes from slavs always being slaves during/after war true?

Genealogy / Do you think all Slavs are white? [178]

It's a common opinion in the USA

"The word σκλάβος, in turn, comes from the ethnonym Slav, because in some wars in early mediaeval times many Slavs were captured and enslaved"

Wiki

Genealogy / Do you think all Slavs are white? [178]


Fair enough, I'm not disagreeing with you just asking a question. The issue with discrediting American opinion, is that their view through the use of power media is portrayed onto Asia, South America, Africa

I had a black guy tell me, ''We are brothers. Slavs were slaves too''.

USA, Canada / General differences between Poland and the USA? [184]

Poles do seem to have an unhealthy infatuation with USA. For example in terms of Pop culture, a lot of ''wiggers'' in Poland.

I think it's absurd. Not exactly sure what the issue is? Fear of them crossing into traffic and causing accidents?

I think it's Western cultures anti-alcohol view having an influence.

For example. This video was made as a school project in a upper middle class predominately white high school. Rap culture is rotting American culture from the inside. 33 students were suspended, no prom, no walking at graduation

Life / Drink driving a bike and losing your driving license in Poland [27]

You don't see the issue of putting people in jail, massive fines and losing license for riding a bike drunk? The whole point of riding the bike is to avoid getting behind the wheel. People don't ride bikes drunk because they are looking for a workout

So they are trying to increase taxi business?

USA, Canada / General differences between Poland and the USA? [184]

Of course it does. Why would you have a double standard for your own children and others. They both interact with each other and eventually you will have to share society with them.

Isn't the next step outlawing being drunk in public? Wouldn't that solve all the issues. "Which can only be a good thing''

Life / Drink driving a bike and losing your driving license in Poland [27]


No. The bike is replacing the car. By getting rid of the bike, you are increasing the probability of car. Why take a bike if you can take a car and get the same penalty?

Language / How do Poles feel about foreigners learning their language? [105]

Good luck. Polish is difficult

Love / My little confession hehe - I always thought polish women were ugly [57]

Few thoughts

- As is the case with most European girls, Polish girls are skinny but they also tend to have breast and curves. IMO (and many Americans agree) Eastern European girls are the hottest whites. German & British (especially) do not compare.

- American men are infatuated with blonde hair. Alot of it has to do with the fact the USA is only 50% white and opposites attract. So they love them some blonde hair.

Language / How do Poles feel about foreigners learning their language? [105]

No question. I was going to post before so I might as well now but Polish might be the most difficult European language. Asian is on a different level.

Life / Why are Polish so obsessed with Russia [46]

Russia is a big bully in the region. Just look at how they acted on Polish soil during Euro 2012 Tournament and that had nothing to do with Russian government. While Poles have their bad apples, Russians are known by everyone as obnoxious.

In terms of Poles/Russians living in the USA and their relations to each other. I don't think it's any different than Polish-German or Polish-British. Your post seems to argue Poles should go out of their way for Russians because we are both Slavs. I think in the USA it's wise to treat everyone on equal footing or you will lose out on opportunities. The ironic part is that us both being Slavs, almost creates a sense of competition: ''We both immigrated to this country and look who is better off''

We expect Americans to understand Polish history and respect us but we shouldn't expect the same from Russians, who is an actual neighbor? At the end of the day Russia doesn't want to be part of the European Union and almost considers itself it's own continent. So other than ethnicity, we don't share much any longer.

Life / Why are Polish so obsessed with Russia [46]

- You've met every single Pole living in the USA and quizzed them on their feelings about Russia?

- You seem to be the only ''Pole'' on here obsessing over the matter

- Russian fans beat up Polish stewards a week before the Poland/Russian match. Their fans also had inappropriate signs and wore military uniforms (WTF) to matches. Which is why FIFA penalized Russia and not Poland.

Typical Russian cowardliness thuggery.

- What was occurring in Poland while Russia put Sputnik in space? We were under Soviet rule. You should pick up a history book sometime.

If Poland is so backwards then why do you as a Russian feel the need to come on a Polish forum and describe ignorant American opinions? Americans look down on all of us, they laugh at Russia murdering tens of millions of their own citizens. You live in San Jose. I live in San Diego. So there's one Pole that accomplished more than a Russian.

On the subject of Russia.
*The average Russian man has a life expectancy of 58 years, which is among the shortest in the civilized world.

* The Russian population is down to 142 million. In 1991 it was 148 million. It is expected to decrease by 1/3 by 2050, down to 96 million.

* The birth rate in Russia (The number of children born to the average woman) remains below 2.0, which is the 'breakeven' point.

* The Russian death rate is 14.3 per 100,000. Compares to 8.5 for the USA.

There may be an occasional young woman kidnapped from Ukraine and dragged into Russia, but that would be the extent to any immigration problem.

Life / Why are Polish so obsessed with Russia [46]


Very interesting read. But ultimately what percentage of Russians back Putin? When I look at modern day Russia I see immense new wealth at the top and ''strong directional leadership'' but a rotting society underneath. Maybe as Poles (centuries removed from the Commonwealth) we will never be able to comprehend the ''Empire'' mindset ingrained in Russian culture. It is hard to argue that it's not for global show, at the expense of their own people. Russia is hosting the Olympics and World Cup in the next decade, while none of us would choose to live there.

News / Negative Polish stereotypes in US 'changing for the better' [20]

Because unless you are wealthy, you have a higher quality of life in Europe. My sister left the USA a few years ago, I plan on doing the same after my studies are finished. My parents are immigrating back to Europe after retirement in a few years.

USA will be a brown country in 15 years. If you are white: Canada, Australia and within Europe is a lot better place to move. My parents greatly regret immigrating to the USA with us.

USA, Canada / General differences between Poland and the USA? [184]


Poland recently hosted (with Ukraine) the European Tournament in Soccer. Heavy emphasis was made on tourism, i.e. English speaking workers. Poland has made great strives in this department the past 10-20 years. But the farther you travel from the cities, the less often this is the case. In the villages you will find it very difficult.

Love / english girl struggling with polish boyfriend's friends [20]

If they speak English to you, you will never learn Polish . . . . .

I'm willing to bet one of the main reasons they enjoy spending time together is the opportunity to speak their native tongue. Speaking English defeats that whole purpose. The sad truth is that you will have to learn Polish to fit in his life. This is an issue with every relationship involving more than 1 language
