Do any other Polish Americans feel that our culture needs to be more well preserved?

almost 100% Polish environment and in many cases don't even speak English then why not just live in Poland

Why do Americans speak English in the first place? It's because the British came here and turned the land into Little England. And then they allowed people from all other countries to come here. The government has never appointed an English Speaking Only police to enforce the English language because obviously it's not a problem for them. If it's okay with them I don't see why it should be a problem with anyone else.

Well, because that's not.

You know why Poles assimilate? Because they're too ambitious not too.

There are supposed to be 10 million of us Polish Americans. Proud to be American and proud to be Polish. From this website I question why. No matter what the topic it turns into your a stupid American. A conversation should never degrade into name calling even if you don't agree.

Millions of Polish Americans are preparing to celebrate Christmas in the same way those in Poland are. A time when we are to love and respect our fellow man. Are we as Polish as you? No, we are the best of both countries.

Have a Merry Christmas

Oh, come on.
We already know it by heart:
You're Polish American.
Your ancestors left Poland about 150 years ago but you think you know everything about Poland even though you've never been here.
You won't bother to come here because Poland is the size of Nevada ( in fact, all European countries are like that and you don't care about Europe).

You think you know Polish but Poles don't understand you. But it's their fault and they speak terrible English. And they live in poverty and you're better than them. And why do they keep coming to the US?

And why do people keep complaining about America on this forum? How dare they? It doesn't matter most are not even Polish you'll take an offence anyway.

And you don't want anything from the state 'cause you're so great.
And why do people get so overqualified?
And why would you keep your Polish American traditions after reading so many 'terrible' things on this forum.
And you embrace Polish jokes, ha ha ha.
Did I miss something.?

And no, I doubt your Christmas will be like Christmas in Poland. What makes you think so?
Are you the best of both nations? I doubt. Having read your posts, I'm pretty sure I have met better people from both nations. I'm sorry.

As for Polish Americans, if you feel any sort of connection with Poland and mostly your Polish family and your own family traditions, keep them. They're part of you.

If you have enough money, come and visit Poland to find out more.

I doubt I have enough organisational skills.
I won't be able to take a month off either.
Are you coming to Poland?
