Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

It is no secret that many 'buraki' went abroad and didn't do Poland proud. I think there should be an international island to offload all idiots to.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

I'm not an expert at all, this is about stereotypes and potentially confirming or debunking them.

Poland is FAR from being an ugly nation. There are smart people and stupid people wherever you go. Why are you linking intelligence to stereotypes? One is rational and logical whereas the other tends to come from folk tales or the experiences of a band of people that saw only part of the whole.

Next topic?

about Polish stereotypes. I hope you can find it in you to laugh a little :)

I am quite full at the moment, yes. I've just eaten :) :) What translation??

Penn, spot on!!! Each has their own specialisms and value sets :) The stupid don't know how to match skillsets to reality whereas the intelligent ascertain needs and can prosper. Poles tend to be quite practical as people and this is to their advantage. A downside of Polish thinking is black/white thinking. Too many try to slot you into a neat little bracket and label you as sth. A major plus of Poles is 'kombinowanie' :) :)

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

Monia, any Polish person near me knows my true opinions of many Poles. I have the utmost respect for many people here. All of my private students are at the top of their respective disciplines and hold postgraduate degrees. I have been here for 7 years and know that the general level of education amongst my students at school is pretty high. Now, they are only one part of Polish society but Poles have learnt that they have to compete to get places in life. A lot of Poles are great at repairing things and have learned through doing :)

Taking the bait is stupid, Monia. Any intelligent person worth their salt will tell you to walk away and ignore it. That's where the stupid side of a fair few Poles comes out. A troll? Not at all. I spark discussions. Besides, I value the views of people that know and judge me in real life rather than faceless entities.

Yeah, Poles are good at Maths for sure but I'd prefer communication ideas over that anyday.

We don't value Maths that highly, Monia. If you were intelligent, you would know that ;) ;)

Germans and Dutch are also a point above. I think we could say the Japanese are too in their own way. The Poles were awarded 10 bonus points for them paying off the IQ assessors ;)

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

A popular lad here in Gliwice asked me to check his FB friends for girls. Well, I have to say that they didn't disappoint. I say that on an aesthetic level as my wife's swinging fist and flailing arms could come from out of the blue.

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

It's not sth I've ever heard from anyone in 7 years here. They can't see the need for it and it just isn't a part of the culture. Why not? Well, it just hasn't creeped in. I see plenty oral hygiene equipment so that does the trick.

Rebirth, are many Muslims backwards? My friend Kefayet insisted that Muslims do this but it doesn't stop other people from maintaining effective oral hygiene. For instance, I use a special liquid from Ziaja to stave off bacteria. I'm not circumcised, nor do I feel I am losing out through not being so.

UK, Ireland / Polish and East European prostitutes in the UK [240]

Sascha isn't Slavic, he's German. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Slavic women tend to be pretty self-respecting, maybe too much so ;0 ;)

Any incontrovertible proof that that is the case, Rebirth? It could also be through extreme boredom. Maybe they are major fans of sex. Aren't you? ;)

They can earn 200PLN per hour quite easily if they are pretty enough. Heck, that's four times what I get so who feels more like a slut now? ME :) :)

Simple. The things they want cost a lot of money here (cosmetics/bags etc etc) and their jobs don't get near paying for them with any left over for expenses and the necessities.

Genealogy / Former Poland PM Donald Tusk - A Kashub or a German. [71]

That tends to be in the nature of many, yes. Poles are like the Borg in that respect, much like the Japanese.

As for Tusk, check most sources and they will tell you he is a Kashubian.
