Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

Well of course the employers encourage the cheapest labor they can get.
That has NOTHING to do with racial diversity as there is an abundance of Ukrainians that are willing to do such jobs.
The gates are wide open for White Ukrainians that acclimate and blend in to Poland's culture which is similar to their own.

Cheap Arab/Indian labour is powering the Polish economy.

No, it is the Ukrainians that power Poland's economy so NO RACIAL DIVERSITY is needed.
Did ya get it this time or do you just want to argue.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

That's not a question but a poorly disguised statementThe real question would be: Does Poland need racial diversity?

Those were my same exact sentiments Spike, thank you and very well put.
I just couldn't find myself to question a highly educated school teacher (voted teacher of the year multiple times) with my humble opinion.
A loaded question like Why does Poland need racial diversity? made me think it may be a trick question.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

Poland seems like they are in a time warp.
Nice people and all but much catching up to do.
Diversity is the last thing Poland needs to stall progress anymore than it already endures.
Cheap labor is absolutely not the answer for progress.
Poland needs to offer good paying jobs to bring the educated Polish people back to Poland with new ideas.

USA, Canada / Will U.S. Citizens Need A Visa To Visit Poland Starting In 2021 [11]

I agree with you Iron as the road should run both ways.
The creation of a European Travel Information and Authorization System, or ETIAS, that will require "pre-travel screening for security and migration risks of travelers benefiting from visa free access to the Schengen area".

"Migration risk" ? Give me a break.
I now see that Poland is included in these E.U. countries called a Schengen area but Ireland and the U.K. are not.
More freedom of travel being taken away (restriction of travel to foreign countries) without the frogs in the warm boiling water even realizing it.

USA, Canada / Will U.S. Citizens Need A Visa To Visit Poland Starting In 2021 [11]

Most western liberal democracies are slamming Trump for demanding a wall be built on the U.S. southern border to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the US, Europe is about to erect a metaphorical wall targeting legal US travelers, because starting in 2021, U.S. citizens will need a visa to visit most European countries.

How many terrorists have come to the E.U. from the United States of America to make a legal U.S. tourists a threat ?
This is going to knock the hell out of tourism $$$$ in the E.U.
I hope this does not include Poland as happy as they would be for a little revenge.
I know for me, it wouldn't be worth the time, effort and expense to obtain one for any allie country in the E.U.

Well except for Poland that is.

Off-Topic / Russophiles can no longer defend their beloved Russians. [84]

The information is extremely detailed and shows Russia's guilt beyond doubt....

Russia's parliament has advanced strict new internet laws allowing the authorities to jail or fine those who spread fake news or disrespect government officials online.

msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-to-jail-people-for-15-days-if-found-guilty-of-disrespecting-the-government/ar-BBUtxvY?li=BBnb7Kz&pfr=1

Did ya catch that last part Milo ?
What constitutes disrespect verses disagreeing on your own terms by exercising your freedom of speech ?
It short it's o.k. for the governments to disrespect it's citizens by lying but if you do it towards the government you go to jail............

Proving......"Whoever has the biggest hammer wins."
Damn I am so thankful, as a citizen of the U.S.A., for the Constitution of the United States of America.

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [595]

My Polish Pen Pal lives in an area called Bielsko - Biala.
I know nothing about this area where I plan on visiting when I come to Poland.
She seems to be a very pleasant and honest person with a great sense of humor.
For some reason it is like pulling teeth to get her to tell me about the area in any detail.
Are any of you Poles familiar with this area to fill me in a tad about it.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]

Wait a minute... johnny reb is Polish?

Did I confuse you when I said,

my vindictive Polish genes would have kicked in

Why do you Poles keep using YOUR words to insinuate that they are my words when they are your words and not my words. lol

Quit making things up or is that another Polish trait.

I've been around here for all this time more or less so I know what's going on in here...

That statement makes you seem like so much more of an authority then everyone else here. (does a small bow)
Since I have been here more than you that should make me more of an authority than you to what is going on here.
Damn Paulina, talk about sociopathic's aye.
Is that another Polish trait, I am more of an authority than you are. lol

but I am still coming to get you. Not being vindictive here, or anything

Of course you are however there is one problem.
You will have to stand in line behind all the Brit Bullies that have made similar threats.

Don't mind Johnny - he simply doesn't get our Polish, more subtle, kind of irony.

If I didn't get it my vindictive Polish genes would have kicked in and came back with my passive aggressiveness like you did. lol

Poles living in Poland is INDEED what this forum has always needed

And how many times in the past have I mentioned this. 'Lots' is the correct answer.
You girls live in Poland so why don't you drum up some new Polish up beat female semi normal recruits so you will have someone to fight with. lol

My sides are splitting.

Mine are too.

if they don't like

Now Ms. Vindictive, did I say I didn't like anything ?
No I did not.
Those are your words so please don't put them in my mouth to paint your picture.
You are the classical touchy over sensitive Pollack that doesn't want to admit the obvious.
We know the truth stings sometimes however most of the Polish traits pointed out in this thread are dead nut on as bad as you are embarrassed by them.

You shouldn't be ashamed of these negative traits as they are just a cultural thing because of being behind times a tad.

we Poles are simple people

You shouldn't think so little of yourselves.
On the brighter side of the Polish traits is that they certainly know how to make good sausage and potato's.

This is ridiculous!

Your case in point confirmed Terri. lol

Another trait is the vindictiveness Polish people are known for.
They can get very nasty at times over the silliest things while seeking revenge.

JR, thanks for reminding me again why I left everything behind and didn't return until half a century later.

Stubborness, overdrinking, whining and complaining, thievery, shyness with women, chauvinism, prudery

Wow, that pretty much sums it up doesn't it.
Grumbling and complaining all day every day.
Very family oriented and jealous.
Good cooks and generally very loud talking.
Nosey wanting to know everyone's private business to gossip with but keeping their private business to themselves..
Always trying to show each other up.
That's a typical Pole alright.

Travel / Pot in Poland for tourists [285]

the state should contaminate illegal drugs

Then they should contaminate alcohol too OR legalize ganja for the folks that prefer to be happy instead of ornery.
Besides Rich the U.S. Government already tried contaminating ganja back in the day with paraquat.
I remember well how that backfired on them big time.
Google it if it was before your time.
Any more of your bright ideas.......I'm afraid I will regret asking that. lol

Frame drug dealers

In this case they are the drug dealer.
And do you think they will admit that the ip: is theirs.
It is nothing less then "entrapment" to make an arrest on a State manufactured crime.
Why would you want someone that smokes a little herb be taken out of society.
If that was the case there would be no society.

He IS the Polish Police
Only a naïve kid would fall for such a trick by the police.
He comes here about once a month.
Just go look back through this thread and see for yourself.
He is trying to entrap the youth of Poland and tourists into a State manufactured crime.
I hope no one is so stupid to fall for this B.S. cop fishing scam.

News / Poland and USA vs Iran and the EU [38]

but we can lose good relations with Iran

It is a tinderbox ready to explode.
Iran is being taunted and has just about had enough.
Have you been keeping up with the latest news.

ISFAHAN, Iran - The head of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard has threatened to retaliate against neighboring Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates over a suicide car bombing this week that killed 27 members of the elite organization.

Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari spoke late Friday at one of two funeral ceremonies for the victims of Wednesday's attack in the central Iranian city of Isfahan. He claimed without providing evidence that the United States and Israel ordered Saudi Arabia and the Emirates to carry out the attack, which wounded 12.


Poland has nothing to gain and a whole lot to lose for indirectly getting involved in backing Israel.
The United States is sucking Poland into a war for no good reason besides selling Poland heavy military weapons.
These weapons are being used as leverage by the U.S.A. (The price for Freedom)

It is sad to see a small recovering from war country like Poland be manipulated by a super power.

History / Why are Poles/Poland disliked by Germans? [140]

By then the pro-European youth will have taken power

Who will they have taken power from, the present German run E.U. ?

,Poles are just a bit more careful than most.

That's because they have had to work harder for it and have not had the luxuries of inheritances as the West E.U. has.

Poland did not plunder the rest of the E.U. during and after the War to have such great wealth to leave their children.
After the war Poland had nothing and had to work very hard to survive compared to the rest of the West.
Maybe that is why the Polish people are so "thrifty" with their money compared to say a German like the Rothschild family for example who stole their wealth.

The Rothschild family is a European family of German Jewish origin that established European banking and finance houses.
Ask me again why Poland has a tad bit of animosity toward the Germans.

Off-Topic / American Jew Voice in Poland [93]

A CNN survey of Europeans found that about one third of them said they knew nothing or very little about the Holocaust.
The same survey showed that only 15% of the population of Poland had an unfavorable attitude toward Jews.
This was one of the lowest surveyed in the twelve European countries where 96% of Europe's Jews live.
Jews feel safer living in Poland then any other country in Europe that was surveyed.
