The government overspends now could you imagine what our taxes would be like if the government mismanaged healthcare as well. If healthcare is so great why do so many Canadians cross the border just to receive US healthcare services?? I personelly do not want to wait six weeks for an appointment. This already occurs in NJ.

Why is that? Is life in Poland that bad.

He doesn't have a socialist attitude. And seriously, what is wrong with getting social services paid for through taxes?

Interesting because when I tried I was told my father was a Polish citzen until he served in the military which ruled me out. My father was born in Us. Both of his parents were born in Poland or occupied Poland.

Wrong. Anyone obtaining foreign citizenship prior to the 1962 date would immediately be stripped of Polish citizenship.

You need to realize that only in the Polish heraldic tradition, as opposed to the West European traditions, the coats of arms have their own names and they are rarely associated with one family only.

Genealogy / Being ashamed of Polish ancestry? [156]
Polish people have been ridiculed and deemed stupid because of thier poor English. It really had nothing to do with their intelligence level. Which is ironic at least when it comes to this post because I would surmise they wanted to speak Polish and felt more comfortable speaking Polish and were proud to be Polish rather than being ashamed of it. Really this was more prevalent in the early 1900's but today this is rarely the case. I know of at least 2 people who are recent immigrants from Poland, one of which is in my daughters class. His english is very good, but I am sure if it wasn't there would be some bullying as kids are cruel
.
A lot of people in the 50's hid their ancestry especially if they were eastern European (Slavic) because of the FBI and their communist witch hunts here in the USA. It was a nightmare.

Very true. But it doesn't disprove it either.

Or I believe in the case of finding out about one's heritage so it can be passed down to further generations.

This is why ancestry dot com is making millions. Wake up. And personelly I have never heard of someone Polish being ashamed of thier heritage. If you are you are not of Polish descent. We are a proud race that others tried thier best to eradicate and failed.
This is the prime reason that immigration has died down. After 9/11 it isn't as easy to get in either.

No, I'm not saying that. What I am saying is that people are usually indifferent to what their ancestry is.

There is a wide range of colleges in Ny not to mention how broad the stellar NYC corporate experience statement was. Sounds to me like she is more of a secretary/personel assistant than a corporate executive.
Lets be honest with ourselves is a manager in a corporation going to ask for a teaching job if successful. Not trying to bellitle teachers in any way I feel thier job is harder by far. It is the pay scale that I am eluding to.
There s no right or wrong here. It is just advice. I am giving advice based on what I have read here and my personel experiences living here in USA that is all.

There is nothing wrong with it at all. I don't think Fuzzy is saying that there is anything wrong with Poland. I think Fuzz is saying if you don't like the city move elsewhere first before diving in head first in another country (albeit her homeland) that has changed significantly since she has been there last. From what I have read on this forum it is cheaper to live in Poland but the pay scale is also severely reduced. It may be a shock to just move to Poland and try to get a job as some have suggested here. I think Fuzz is giving some very down to earth and common sense advice that I happen to agree with. If PO decides to go I wish her the best and stay in touch with the forum to let the rest of us know how you are fairing.
What is wrong with wanting to go back and live for one year in Poland???
Since when one must own a business to visit a country of his/her ancestors? She may meet a successful Polish businessman and get married in Poland - her single years are over :-).

Agree 100 %.
I am curious why you say that. If you are living in the city and don't like it simply move to the suburbs. It is a much more relaxed lifestyle. I am not aware of your situation so I can only speculate. If you are concerned about money move south. Things are a hell of a lot cheaper in the south and is a slower pace as well. Personelly based on your experience you may wish to try just outside of Atlanta. Atlanta has boomed ever since the Olympics but has retreated a bit in recent years so you can get a real bargain for a house. Florida is another great option move just outside of Orlando and work in Orlando. I spent a couple years here after college and it was the best few years of my life. I currently live in NJ and understand about the hussle and bussle of the city. I wouldn't want to live there either.
If NYC has grown old for you........move to another state! You've got the entire country at your disposal.
Agree 100 %.
For me, it is certainly NOT the ultimate place to live, especially Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx.

Europe is much older than America. I think we have come a long way in a short time. Spitting on the sidewalk is a jailable offense in NYC but it is never enforced. Point being thier are alot of silly laws still on the books doesn't mean thiey are truly enforcible. Hell sodomy is still on the books in 70 percent of states but that is no longer enforced either.Turn the clock back 20 years or more and there is a large change in attitudes towards being gay. I am sure it would be harder growing up in the bible belt though.
So I now feel that he's totally in the closet, and it's because of his family and culture. At least I know he digs me, and slowly but surely he's sending me a message that he wants to be more then mere friends...

Did you even watch the show? Yes Archie berated Mike almost every show but every show but not becuse he was Polish it was because of the times and the hippie movement which is what his character was portrayed to be. Hippies were often portrayed as unkept and lazy. They were against corporate America and following the herd. Which is what Archie's character was supposed to portray but every program Archie is the one looking like a fool because of his bigoted ways and old school mentality. Mike was a non conformist but also just. He is often portrayed as a conflicted man...on one end he is pro women's right but he is also masciline and proud of it. I am confused how you only see the bad in his character and automatically assume that is because he was Polish???
Of course the Anti Defamation League would say that against the show it is thier montra. Apparently everyone doesn't know that because my take as a American is quite different. I found it entertaining and saw the show as a turning point in Americas prejudice and lead to shows like the Jeffersons and later the Cosby Show. Which are also filled with racism but showed how the other side sees the world. These shows opened the eyes of America to how the other half lived and felt also in a comedy format.
But represented the blue collar worker at the time. The show marked a passsage of time...from and old way of thinking to a new. It had 2 extreme ways of thinking in it. The old school waspy view of the world and the hippie view of the world constantly colliding and finding out that neither was perfect and often had to compromise.

I will agree with the Polish slurs, the show was full of slurs of every ethnic origin. My point was Mike the Polish character was portrayed as a loving husband to Archie's daughter and it was Archie that looked like the bigoted jerk for making fun of him all the time.
I really did enjoy the show though, and in fact I credit this show for some of the reduction of racial slurs in America today. The show was so over the top it was entertaining.

Well that makes a whole lot of sense.
You make it sound as if the 70's and the 80's were devoted to Polish jokes are you an idiot? It wasn't only Polish jokes but Jews , Italians, Chinese, and African Americans. Please do not try and make the American media out to be anti Slavic because it isn't. America is the biggest melting pot there is...we have a lot to make fun of.
As well as others.
So do you think its a slite or not or am I not reading this statement properly.
The reduction of ethnic slurs have reduced in general across the United States it had nothing to do with Polonia complaining about them. We have become a bunch of pansies afraid to say anything derogatory about any race. IMO the awareness that racial slurs can hurt people is a good thing but the ability to say what you feel no matter how retarded should be always encouraged.
Yes but there is a difference between a joke and blatant racism. The KKK obvious blatant racism. A joke on Saturday Night live is...a joke not some subliminal message designed to malign ethnic slavs.
Just because he did not explicitly say anything bad does not mean that he did not say anything bad

These anti-Polish joke slurs in America in general declined significantly since the 1970's because the broadcast of these anti-Polish "joke" slurs declined significantly as more Polish Americans complained about them.

First of all the article is in no way a dig at Poland or any other country mentioned. Apple is one of the most powerful corporations in the world.

Perhaps the author was trying to be symetrical as Poland is in the middle as far as size of countries mentioned. It is not as if Apple is worth nothing and Poland was compared to that. IMO the OP is being hyper sensitive drawing conclusions out of thin air. The object of the article was to showcase how large and powerful Apple is not how poor the other countries are. Being compared with argueably the most powerful corporation in the world is no dig it is a compliment.

I would agree. I have seen too many people let the one they thought was the one get away. At least you would know the truth either way.
If it turns out the ex is back and she doesn't want to try because of this or any other reason, I can feel like I can move on having tried to fix it like a man. This whole "one mistake and I'm done and moving on" just isn't my thing.

Love / Polish girls want to be dominated. Fact? [63]
I tend to agree. Just like she didn't stop communicating with her ex while with you. Perhaps she was using you to make her ex jealous and keeps and open dialog with you to keep him in line. This is worst case scenario though. It seems you might have grabbed her on the rebound. You seem like a prince on a white horse coming to save the day but as soon as she had time to evaluate her life she may have decided to slow it way down to avoid getting hurt. Chin up dude there are more women out there. If you are interested in finding out the truth invite her out for drinks with another women and see how she reacts. This is manipulative and of course not the best course of action if you are not prepared for bad news but will possibly reveal the truth and give you closure.
She is keeping her options open
