Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

An Old Jewish American guy and a young chinese man are working in an office together, the Jewish guy says to the Chinese man, " I hate your people you Bombed Pearl harbour".

The Chinese man answers back "don't be stupid that was the Japanese, I am Chinese".
The Old Man says, "Chinese, Japanese all the same to me".
The Chinese man retorts,"well I hate your people you sank the Titanic!".
The Old Man looks shocked and replies, " An Iceberg sank the Titanic".
The Young Chinese man smiles and says" Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg....they all the same to me".

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

Well I do tend to agree with her. I think possibly the problem lies with the fact many Polish young men live with their parents until they get married. I have many Polish mates and they do let their mothers mother them. Perhaps it is not so much the men's fault, rather that they have overbearing mothers.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

If we're all the same then why do some look down on others and protect what is theirs(material possessions, borders, national pride etc) so badly????

Because that is way they want us to do.

Love / Making My Polish Girlfriend Feel Like She Is At Home At Christmas [83]

Make sure she can spend an hour talking to her mother on Christmas Eve.

Go to church with her.

And tell her how much you love her, how happy you are that you can be together and that next year you promise you will go to Poland with her.

Limey, Polak, Paki, Mick...... don't stress stick and stones will break my bones but.......

Personally I'm a Froggy/limey bourgeois c@nt. :)

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

marmite is awesome.

It is an acquired taste.

What people like depends on what food they are brought up on.

One mans Bigos is anothers Smelly shredded sock stew.

Arguing which is better is not really plausible.
Just like arguing which is better Barcelona FC or Manchester United, it depends what you have grown up with.

Having both English and French roots I have been brought up on differing cuisine so i really like most styles of cuisine, there are certain foods I dislike, offal, crustaceans, nuts (allergy), it doesn't matter in what style they are cooked, I just don't eat them.

Listen, half the world eats insects intentionally! I'm not talking about all the fruit flies, weevils an other creepy crawlies that we have eaten by accident.

manataka.org/page160.html

This is such a bourgeois thread. Here we all are in our heated homes, with clean running water, cars, TV's, cooking programs.... whilst the majority of the world is more concerned with when and where they are going to find their next meal.

Not that I'm not bourgeois c&nt myself.

Roll on the cheese platter open a Margaux... perhaps some Tapas..

People in Poland are very vindictive and bitter

Not everyone but many are especially the older generations but then they have been sold out so many times it is hardly a surprise.

Life / My experience in Poland 15 years ago as an American trying to live and work there. [167]

You will never run all the illegals out of the United States

Just pardon them, build repore with Mexico and invite them to become legal.

Could you be anymore patronizing and condescending in one sentence.

She knows a sucker when she sees one.

Playing my guitar and chatting up this gorgeous thing. The weather is perfect. It isnt so bad to be me.

But what has Nigeria contributed to the United States?

Oil and lots off it

The Brits can now come to Poland with their capital and make everything expensive.

Rubbish

Believe me the majority of external investment was made in the early nineties by German and French companies. Individual "Brits"don't force up property prices, corporate investors do.

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

As a youth I worked in a Pub both as a bartender and a microwave technician. :)

London is absolutely awesome for foodies. My wife and I once went to an Ethiopian restaurant in Brixton. It was hilarious, there wasn't any cutlery, just this pancake thing that you tore up and mopped up the food with!

The most fun i've had in a Polish traditional restaurant in Poland was when I ordered roast duck and was served a whole roast duck!!!

..The most fun...boy do I sound exciting :(

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

I have recently taken to drinking vodka, eating sledge and drinking sweet tea with lemon. It is amazing i can polish off (no pun) 70cl bottle, a plate of sledge and a pot of tea and wake up feeling great in the morning. Seriously it works, must be the fish oil and tea.

Bigos can smell weird and look like ****, but hey the only time I eat it is at the in laws.

The only things i miss are easy access to lamb and real decent mature beef steak. Both of which are a bugger to find. Lucky for me there is a decent indian restaurant and french place within half hour drive which help sate my appetite.

The real question is why do the majority of Polish in Poland think that Poland is not worth fighting for?

The kicker is, why do people not living in Poland think it IS worth fighting for....

Life / The Polish Dream - move out from Poland as fast as possible [73]

Unfortunately the situation in Poland all to often requires one to lie, cheat and scheme just to make an extra few zloty.

Absolutely.

I was told the other day, "to make your first million you have to steal it".

it is not just about making a few extra Zloty.

It is endemic throughout the system al the way to the top.

Having said all that i still like Poland and enjoy living here.

Life / The Polish Dream - move out from Poland as fast as possible [73]

One of my students recently remarked that she had seen a black chap (shock horror!!!!) at the cinema and he was speaking English ( could it be possible???). She then voiced her surprise, how he could watch the films if he couldn't read the Polish subtitles?

..Fall off my chair...

I nearly threw myself out the window....

Life / Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints Day) // Dzien Zaduszny (All Souls day) [93]

The thing I is dislike about this day, is that Poles take to the roads en mass to drive to their relatives graves resulting in lots of people being killed on the roads. Genius.

Every year the media does a body count after the weekend how insane is that!!

That for me kinda sums up the thing, people dying to for the dead!!!
