Shawn_H 25 Apr 2009 / #32Based on the distance (about 3900 km) from Hel Poland (for arguement sake), I would say the north pole should not be Polish. That and the fact there are a few countries in the way, that would lessen strength of the claim that it should be Polish.North Pole-ish?
wildrover 98 | 4431 25 Apr 2009 / #33I have nothing against Polish people , in fact i like them , but i did object to paying the Pole tax when i didn,t have any Poles living at my house......A few years later i had eight of them sharing my house , but by then the Pole tax had been scrapped.....how silly is that....?
Torq 25 Apr 2009 / #34Hmmm... interesting question. I'd say that Poles should be Polish,because if we had them both it would really put us in a pole position.Having said that, I understand that some people are poles aparton that issue, so I'd better go pole dancing.*Getting my coat*
wildrover 98 | 4431 25 Apr 2009 / #36Is that's why the farm house is falling apart?Yep....seems they can,t make concrete in Poland , but they do make nice food , ...i guess you can,t be good at everything....?And they have nice BISON....
Seanus 15 | 19668 25 Apr 2009 / #37Some Poles do Poland a good service abroad but, unfortunately, many are perceived as boorish and primitive. It's a pity as I know some really smart people here.
StripperLady 26 Apr 2009 / #39You mean Poles with Flags.Or do you mean polef for strippers to dance with.
Shawn_H 26 Apr 2009 / #40seems they can,t make concrete in PolandSave it for the things you hate about Poland thread!But the Poles are good at laying interlocking brick in place of sidewalks.

Vincent 9 | 795 26 Apr 2009 / #43But the Poles are good at laying interlocking brick in place of sidewalks.That was one of the first things I noticed. Nearly all of the pedestrian areas are designed using these bricks and look superb. The many different patterns have been laid with great craftsmanship and in my opinion, comes very close to art.
Seanus 15 | 19668 20 Feb 2010 / #44Poles are people, not polish. Of course Polish people should carve out their identity like any other group. They are quite homogeneous so it isn't hard. Suppress your national character for too long and there will be consequences.
