Life / Poles are not racist [873]

Going back to the original subject (again): We have all just demonstrated the one thing that causes racism and all the hatred in the World (Bask terrorists, Northern Ireland, Timothy Mcveigh, Yugoslavia, Holocaust, Iraq, Armenian Genocide, 9-11, Katyn, Mogadishu, Rwanda and so on, and so on...). It is all about this attitude "my people are better then yours, my sh*t smells better then yours." Well done displaying it for us today, my friends. And, to be truthful, I've participated in it as well. Just something to think about for me and for all of us.

Telephone patent 1876

"he immigrated to Canada in 1870, and then to the United States in 1871"
Anyways, does it really matter that much? If it's really that important to you, you can say and think whatever you want. Enjoy!

Irishman.....outa Cork

Wikipedia:
"Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 - April 7, 1947) was the American founder of the Ford Motor Company and father of modern assembly lines used in mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. He was a prolific inventor and was awarded 161 U.S. patents. As sole owner of the Ford Company he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world.

(...)
Ford was born on July 30th, 1863, on a farm next to a rural town west of Detroit, Michigan (this area is now part of Dearborn, Michigan)."

Now honestly: why does it make so much difference to you guys?

Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish.

Hmmm... here is a quote from Wiki:

"Alexander Graham Bell (3 March 1847 - 2 August 1922) was a Scottish scientist, inventor and innovator. Throughout his early life, Alexander Graham Bell was a British subject but in 1915, he characterized his status as: "I am not one of those hyphenated Americans who claim allegiance to two countries." Despite this declaration, Bell has been claimed as a "native son" by Canada, Scotland and the United States.[1] Born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, he immigrated to Canada in 1870, and then to the United States in 1871, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1882."

So I guess we are all correct! Once again, mr. Rodney King was right "Can't we just all get along?"

Just so happens, that I was in one of his laboratories just last week. He built this one together with his friend, Henry Ford, I think in Florida, next to his vacation home. Latter they moved it to Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

Stupid Americans made it to the moon, haven't seen any Limeys there lately?

These "stupid" Americans, not only made it to the moon but also gave the world

1. Light bulb,
2. Airplanes,
3. Mass produced cars,
4. Telephone,
5. TV
6. Air-conditioning and refrigeration
7. Nuclear technology
8. Computers, PCs
9. Internet
10. Tom Cruise

For that last one we profusely apologize.

PS1. Oh, yeah – and about 80% of Nobel prizes each year!

PS2. We also gave the world saying: “Can’t we all just get along?” – Thank you, Mr. Rodney King! :)

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]

Kapusta!

Nah, if you mean just a plain cabbage, that's not much of a dish, and if you mean bigos - there is a huge amount of bacon lard that goes in it. That's why it's sooo good, see?

I had an idea though. What if I made some nalesniki (crepes) but with a whole wheat flour instead of white, using light veggie oil. I could stuff it with a bunch of fruits like strawberry, cantaloupe, and banana. That would be a great breakfast dish. Unfortunately, not very polish.

the first thing that comes to my mind is an apple

There you go. I could dice some apples and let's say some pears and stuff it into my light whole wheat crepes, sweeten it with maybe natural honey and sprinkled w/ cinnamon. Sounds really yummy and healthy, but is it a real polish dish?

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]

Last night at work we were talking about restaurants and cooking and my co-worker asked me if I cook polish often, and I said that not too often because we are trying to eat healthy. "Why, ain't there any polish dishes that are healthy?" she asked. We thought for a while (her mom was Polish, so she grew up on polish cuisine) - but we honestly couldn’t find any. We land up making a bet - I need help!

Are there any polish dishes that are healthy?

Going back to the subject here... I think that Poles are extremely racist - we are especially anti-Semitic, but also racist against Arabs, Blacks etc. I'm not particularly happy about it, nor proud, but if you can read Polish language then I suggest you visit one of the bigger polish online news sites (wp.pl, onet.pl, etc) and checkout some readers comments under the news. They are full of anti-Semitism and all kinds of racism. Now have in mind that those comments are heavily censored - which means that either there are many more even worst opinions that never make to the point of publication, or the censors themselves have racist views and pick and choose from more extreme and racist comments.
