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


They didn't know how to read or write in English. They could read and write perfectly in Polish, in most cases, but sadly many (not all) Americans think that if you can't do something the American way you are stupid.

You have no idea how much $hit I get from people because my name is not spelled the English way. They think my parents were retarded, but then after I explain everything they feel retarded because they just then realised that not everyone in the world speaks English.


They get that because of the evil Smith's company. They created "lil smokies" and suddenly everyone from Poland eats small sausage and has a small penis. Throw down some sausage straight from the home country and they don't know wtf it is.


Too true...

Most jokes about Polish people started as war propaganda. Nazis started saying Poles were stupid and etc. Then one time we charged tanks with horses and swords according to some idiots.

History / Kosciuszko Squadron - why don't they bring it back? [45]

This book is my favorite ever. I loved every minute of it and I think it should definitely be made into a movie. Hopefully someone with some cash can do a cinematic debut some justice. I'm just praying someone like Spielberg or Clint Eastwood reads this book some time soon.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]


But that's like the difference between cities like Pittsburgh and Compton. All countries have cities that look worse than others. In the states, we have ghettos - areas with high pollution, high unemployment rates, and pretty much crack houses.

Food / Why carp for Polish Christmas? [157]


Tradition. Someone started it, others felt like keeping it going. It just spread from there :]

Food / Why carp for Polish Christmas? [157]

Don't know. But think about it. Everything was started by one guy/girl, usually considered crazy by his/her peers.

Who was the first person to go up to a cow and say, "Hey, let's pull on those dangly things and drink what comes out."

Why do we still drink the milk? We're drinking a liquid produced by a fat animal's nipples.

History / Unusual soldier (The bear - named Voytek) [71]


Only the Polish would think that a bear just wanted a cig...

:]

This story is awesome. I want to buy the book. As soon as it hits the shelves let me know. :]

He's like a Polish Balto...but a bear and not a dog...

USA, Canada / Polish Citizen, US legal resident, but no Polish Passport... [67]


Getting mine renewed. Lots of money and have to travel to NY like 6 times for every single paper they have to sign.

USA, Canada / Polish Citizen, US legal resident, but no Polish Passport... [67]


Yeah. I have to renew my Polish citizenship. I plan on living in Poland someday. Career in architecture but I'll give football a try first.

It's all worth it if I can make an honest living where my family lives.

:]

USA, Canada / Polish Citizen, US legal resident, but no Polish Passport... [67]

Well I'm not sure if I have to "renew" it, but something has to be done with it, that's all I know. I am a legal citizen of both the US and Poland, but I have to go to Polish consulate and get some papers signed and what not.

Lol. Thanks.

Better to speak your mind early, and then work towards the goal, instead of working toward a goal and making her guess what that goal is. (goal = sex)

:D

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]


Wodka was a gift from God....Why should we treat it like anything else?

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

A lot of it is hereditary...something you can't really help.

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]


Aren't there pills or some kind of procedure that can speed up a person's metabilism? I heard somewhere that there was a way to do it???

Hmm...

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

I never really understood people who go on diets. I know plenty of girls who are in amazing shape, and have been for some while, who all of the sudden want to diet and excercise. While there's nothing wrong with that....I just never understood it because a good part of my childhood I spent my time wondering why I couldn't gain weight no matter how much I ate. Then I hit the gym and started eating 30 times a day... :]

Genealogy / Rogalin / Oaks [10]

Merged: Oaks of Rogalin

All I know about this is that there are three oak trees in Rogalin named after Lech, Czech and Rus, and that they are over 700 years old.

Anybody know any other legends associated with the trees? I tried google but it all led to wikipedia or some minor sights who have more ads than info.

Found a good sight....

Genealogy / Rogalin / Oaks [10]

We used to have a pretty big oak in our backyard in New Jersey. Nowhere near 10 feet around, though. Ours was more like 5ft circ.

The dog always chased squirrels up the tree, and they'd crawl down just low enough to tease her.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]


Ya...what's with that? Half of them have chicken legs so they look really odd. The long hair too. I don't understand how everyone at the same exact time decided to grow out their hair. The only people who have short hair that I know of are the athletes.

UK, Ireland / I have concerns over the British immigration policy so I wrote to my MP. [126]


Send it to me. I'm interested

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]


No no no. You see, "fashion" in America starts in California. (like in Europe most of it starts in Paris, from what I hear)

You see, every teen in America "learns" what to wear, say, eat, drink, and look like from tv shows like "The Hills" and all that gay crap. Something starts getting popular in California, and in 6 months it will get popular in New York. Thats how it works 99.9% of the time now a days. With the long hair though, they all just sort of grew out the hair on their own. Nobody on TV had long hair, even bam Margera (who is a god to the skating world because he makes an @ss of himself on TV, he's funny but he can't skate worth $hit) had short hair when all of this started. Tony Hawk = short hair also. All of the big name skaters had short hair when all these kids started growing their's out. Thats why it surprised me...and kind of grosses me out because half of them have really disgusting hair when its long...they just don't know how to keep themselves clean I guess.

It would have been more gradual of it was "fashion" Magda
