can only those holding dual citizenship, not big deal either!

Yeah, what is that 10,000 - 50,000 people? Probably doesn't even make a difference statistically in the outcome.

It's such a trivial matter, anyway.

..Apparently, not to a limey living in Poland. After all , we should account to them everything we do.. justify our every action.. it only makes sense. Lol.

and if money buys votes, why can't we vote for President but the Plastic Poles can?

I don't know.. I didn't set up the system man. I would suspect that if the PEOPLE of Poland ( a democracy) didn't want it they would tell Pol Ams to feck off with it.. which they haven't. Now given the vitriol (according to this site) they seem to have for us I found this very odd.

I will pose the same question to you as I did to Scottie boy.. why do you think that is? Why do think they allow the Pol Am to participate in their elections. Why are they participating in Afghanistan?

Not as much as most of us living here pump in

Over the centuries? Yeah, right.. some limey teacher gives like a Pol Am?

........money shouldnt buy votes yes?

To Poles who've largely felt shunned by W. Europe.. it probably buys the right to participate.

Look one Polish person didn't decide that.. lots of people did.. and they think it's okay for Pol Ams to vote. Apparently, at core, they like being affiliated with Pole-Ams.

Why do you think that is??

I lived there for long enough to know how much the Polish hate the so called Polish in America who have the vote but refuse to live in Poland.

They shouldn't be allowed to vote but hey it's not my call. Do you have any idea the amount of money is funneled into that country via Pol Ams?? There is a reason they're allowed to vote.

He has admitted before he hasnt been.

Surprising.. but he probably can speak the lingo..

The Polish people?

Sorry.. Do you have Polish blood in you? If you did.. would you not feel some affinity towards the country? It's really not so deep, you know..

even the admin cant say he has ever been in the country)

I'm sure he's been to Poland. I have been to the N. West side of Chicago... maybe it's not Poland per se.. but apparently it's pretty damn close.

The US is a VERY young country.. it doesn't have it's own identity yet. It has very tight ethnic groups of Polish, German, Italian, Jew, Black, Southern White, whatever.. Groups with things in common tend to live around each other do business etc. When a Pol-Am talks about being Polish it's usually to distinquish between other Americans. The don't literally see themselves as Polish. I've seen this addressed several times on here.. seemingly to the constant confusion of the wandering limey on here...

.. Who, indeed, shares no blood with the native Pole.

I find it so funny

Conversely, I find it funny the amount of threads on PFs (started by Non-Americans.. you know people who've NEVER SET FOOT IN THE US) .. about the US. : /

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]

Truth is perception.. and Russia didn't perceive it that way. Also, those missiles aren't exactly some shiny oversized dil.dos.. tests have shown some effectiveness.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]

neither threatening

The Russians saw it this way.. Why wouldn't they.. the US invaded Iraq without any credible evidence. You don't see why they would be a little antsy about maneuvers in Poland?? What if they were to do in the same in Greenland? El Salvador?

That doesn't make much sense.

It doesn't? You haven't seen American weapons build up start incrementally before?

Initially it would be that, then maybe actual war heads.. It's not beyond the realm of comprehension for some dumb US neo con to want this in Poland.

Obama's little concession to the Russians saved everyone lots of headaches. It will bear fruit down the way. Actually already has.

They just don't want Poland to be able to defend itself. Why might this be?

They don't trust the US.. not necessarily Poland. Any.. and I do mean any talk about missile shields, "star wars" phantom technology spooks the Russian. They fear a pre-emptive strike by the US. The may have lessened a little with Obama dealings with them.

When you're dealing with enemies who are willing to destroy themselves

Those aren't as prevalent as you think.. Even me in the US can see through bullsh.it media horror scenarios. I'd say the only nation you'd have to worry about is Pakistan. I don't think Iran is the eager to do anything to be honest. The Russians don't really hate anyone except Muslims; Poland isn't really on their radar as an imminent threat.

I can't see her ever getting nukes

.. Or paying for them. NATO will have to foot the bill..i.e. US / Germany / France.. Limeys. The crazy thing about nukes.. have they stabilized things to a degree?.. lessened the chance for large world wars? They ironically have.. so probably worth the money.

Poland will belong to the US or Ruskis anyway

Yeah, I wonder who will be the lucky one to listen to your constant complaints...

Love / 20% of adult Poles are single and live with Mummy! [241]

Did you check out the wifes mother before you did the voul thing?

Yeah.. she's holding up all right, got some f*ucked up 80's hair though. What about yours? You have to watch Polish women, one day you're married to some smoking babe and the next day you're married to the sea hag or something. Not as bad as Asians though, but then Asian women aren't as mouthy either.

Anyway.. about my mother .. she was critical all the time, I don't miss her. I remember like yesterday she comes over to my first place after college. An amazing sh*t hole. She comes over .. beer cans all over the place.. a dude passed out in the bushes, only his leg was sticking out.. bawww hawww. The look on her face was utter revulsion.

Right.. and you're leaving the US when? You leave you'll be back in 2 years tops. Cut the crap.

Not tired Americans in their twilight, that's for sure.

The only thing I'm tired of is having to appease some lazy Europeans all the time. Who, in most cases are just as racist as any American ever dreamed of being. Why don't you talk about what your fellow Europeans say about you? They make fun of you for a reason.

Honestly, why in the holy hell should the average American care what the average Pole thinks about them?? You're just leeches looking for money anyway. Yeah, we've made jokes about you in the past. You know what, get the f**k over it.

I would say that you should be quiet.

I don't want to be quiet Polak. Maybe you should go practice finding a runway??

I'll be soft on you

Probably like you were on your woman last night.

although any country that puts their whole cabinet on one airplane
has to be pretty stupid, dont you think??

Exxxxactly.. If I was a native Pole I would probably think twice about calling ANYONE stupid.

Maybe Americans aren't the best at geography but we can locate the damn runway when need be.

are you all implying that polish jokes disappeared?

He probably is.. most people on the thread have told you Polish jokes are rare in the US now.
They were last prevalent maybe in the 80's.
