They do care

Sorry - I don't understand your post. My argument is with Polonia - not with Polish citizens who live here for the majority of the year, pay earnings taxes here, and spend money here.

I don't care if they (Polish citizens/residents) be Poles, Jews, Somalis, English etc, but scum Polonia are the worst of the lot.

BTW what do you mean by Polonia?
I dont live in Poland but I come there 6/7 times a year and YES I pay taxes,way more then an average person living in Poland without a single grolsh benefit in medical or retirement .Also YES I dont spend money in Poland as it is very expensive for me except for food and my regular living bills.

Polonia

Polonia are people of Polish extraction who live abroad (mostly they have never set foot in Poland - but they still have citizenship inferred on them because the communists were desperate for foreign currency)

You could have found this out for yourself by googling. Dirk is of course Polish, having been born here, and so is entitled to be enfranchised to some extent. But others were born in the USA, and their grandparents were Polish, but they babble on about "their" country, which is in fact the US, not Poland.

ummmm! So in that case my kids who have Polish citizenship and are partly with polish descent dont like to be in Poland or even visit Poland be called POLONIA?

They only use to visit Poland when they were kids and now hate to go there and are in there mid 20s,also they are proud to be Americans being born in the USA.

Whats wrong with being a POLONIA?
Same way I also cannot stand English Teachers in Poland,now will that be fair?

And Cato used to end each of his speeches: Carthago must be destroyed. :):)

"Carthago delenda est".
That was Cato The Elder, wasn't it?

I don't understand this hatred of Polonia, is it an elitist thing?
Does this exist in the Irish or Italian diaspora?

Poles are particularly sensitive to perceived slights against them, maybe more so than either the Irish or Italians abroad.

@Lyzko

Nah,that doesn't ring true with me.
Maybe someone else can come up with a more plausible answer.

Fair enough, Milo.
Doug is a loser

No, you are the worst of the worst.

A complete loser.

A total two-faced bigot.

I have to agree with Lyzko here...since I have known Poles it was hard to NOT slight them, and which other diaspora has a website about slights against them??? ;)

"Carthago delenda est".

Catho was expressing his wish for Carthago to be destroyed, so the original sentence requires the subjunctive mood (coniunctivus):
... Carthaginem delendam esse.

Dammit! :)

....they must have learned that from the Poles!

Thanks for the correction, Ziemowit!
Ought to have remembered that in Romance languages, typically the subjunctive is often used
where in Polish or English, a simple indicative would do:-)
