They do.
Germany, the country needs to live with that.
Young Germans do not have personal guilt but have to accept the guilt of their country 's recent history.

Not Nazis.
Germans.

Great news.
About time too.

Love / Are the Polish the most suspicious people in Europe? [73]


I am afraid that I am guilty of that trait too.......

Love / Are the Polish the most suspicious people in Europe? [73]


This is true.
My own family were betrayed by a communist headmaster of a local school and sent to Siberia for their patriotism.
But as you say, it goes back way before communism.
Poles are suspicious of many things and hypochondriacs too!

Genealogy / Any Pole with predominant Black or African ancestry? [26]

It is often a very attractive mix.

You will get your wish if and when Polish girls currently in England return to Poland.
So many of them are dating or have married Indian or Pakistani men.
The girls seem more open minded than the boys, boys tend to date or marry Polish or other white European girls.

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]


About 80% of the city and Germans have still not returned many Polish historical artefacts that they stole.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

I remember overcrowded corridors at school, I even remember some panics, some people got hurt a little bit.
But nothing serious, I think this is an over reaction.

Sorry, but this is just pathetic PC, over protective nonsense.
It is why children can no longer take risks in anything they do and why they will be ill prepared if something nasty ever happens.

When I was a kid, we climbed trees, built wooden go karts and sledges and raced them down hills.Did loads of dangerous things.
Did we get hurt?
Yeah, but we learnt lessons that kids today won't learn because they are "protected" in cotton wool.
And no, us kids never wore Hi Viz jackets to protect us,
Thankfully they had not even been invented yet...

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


I have to say that I am not a potato head either, they are OK but I can take them or leave them.
But to say that you don't like potatoes at all does seem a bit strange to me.
Surely, you don't actually hate them?

No, the people are.

I am sure you have been on here long enough to know that you can't believe everything you read here. :-)

More rubbish.............

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


My Mum did it in jars too, she used to pickle and dry mushrooms in jars as well.
Ogorki too, grown in the garden.
I learnt a lot from her about cooking, but never paid too much attention to pickling and drying..... seemed a bit too technical and had to be super clean too.

Me too, but the only raw veg I like, besides lettuce,tomatoes,onions,spring onions and cucumber, is celery and radishes.
Both with plenty of salt.
Brown rice is disgusting.
I love Coquille St Jaques.

Yeah, we love our football here, or soccer as you guys call it.
In Britain some people are beginning to get into American Football and Basketball has always had a niche audience, it was one of my favourite sports at school.

But Baseball is a no no.....we see that as too similar to Rounders...... a girls game.

Yeah, the high scoring system is the cause of that.

Poles tend to be consevative and intolerant of foreigners and foreign culture.
I don't have a problem with that.
Do you?


Not at all.
Quite the opposite.

I am of pure Polish descent and yet I am regarded as British.
Do Pole Ams really have more rights than Anglo Poles?
