Life / Why Polish people should be proud of being Polish? [370]

Well I don't like mr BMW but he got it in the nutshell - being proud of being (nationality) gives people sense of belonging, and sense of being a community.

I don't think that it is a bad thing.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [190]

I know it's hard but try to think just for a second, if you say I'm stupid then you must be stupid too still posting here.

I have given you multiple answers to your question,I have given to your thread substance which wasn't there before, and what I get? no appreciation , only abuse and complains - typical bloody woman - you need spanking Wendy!

Another Mr smartass ironside here, lol Don't come up with anything smart so starts ridiculing. (rather typical for many Poles on PF).

Just look above, Mr. ironside, has nothing to say but comments "this topic is load of crap".

just press the report button Wendy !
As for the topic - you need to be precise what do you mean ?
Politics - there no friends in the political world!
Individuals - don't see why not - Poles and Americans are similar somewhat !
PF members - well, as much as you can get friendly on the Internet !

I have a strong feeling that some Poles believe that we owe them something.

No, its other way around - some of you thinks that Poles should be grateful to you ! Hilarious !
Maybe you are taking about visa-waver, Wendy?

What would be the proper term for citizens of the EU then? Eupeans?

Afterthought - you meant no sense after all, no sense at all.

In spite of different origins Americans are a homogeneous lot. "Europe on the other hand is not monolithic. Different countries, different language, different architecture, different cuisine, different medical system, different way of thinking, everything different.

Once again - bingo! bulls eye ! arriba tequila coyotes !

Maybe not but it ended hostilities sooner and all of Western Europe would have been under Stalin's boot had it not been for us. It's unlikely the British could have kept him away forever.

Well, OK ! Could you explain to me now - how your action in western Europe had been charitable,and not logical move driven by self-interest and self-preservation ?

bum

stop thinking about my bum! Its gross !yuck !!!!!!

What did we have to gain?

France and England.

?
just check, 6june 1944 front line of Soviet Army and then front line of Allies forces in Europe - your help against Germans wasn't really needed.

Try telling these b.astards that.

ungrateful bastr.s (helpful Ironside)or ungraceful

Everything we've done just has to have had some ulterior motive.

Sure not , your government is known for its charitable attitude and actions.

by the way, USA during WWII done for Poland exactly - null, zilch, nada, zero !

I already posted that it's obvious that Poland and the US are friends, as for example both being NATO members etc but on this forum it shows that there are many differences between Poles and Americans (at least on PF) that lead to many fights.

there many differences between individuals from the same village - so what?>
Its up to individuals !

Travel / My visit to Poland - Likes & Dislikes. [137]

There are plenty of countries with attractive weather.

My point is that the two are very closely linked. If English wasn't spoken widely not nearly as many tourists would go there.

Not in EU, and not that close to sun hungry people,
Yes, I agree with point you made but I would put more emphasis on the fact that first English speaking tourists started going Spain and then people in Spain started to learn English which in turn prompted more tourists to go to Spain!

However, there must be some preconditions for a tourist industry to attract tourist, widespread knowledge of English is not enough on its on!

Could we all try to get back to the topic on Poland please?

E.g.The economies of Spain, Portugal for a start would have collapsed a long time ago if English wasn't as widely spoken as it is.

There is attractive weather for a start knowledge of languages is secondary to their tourist industry but still important.

History / Poland - problem for Germany? (historically continual hostility of German state on Poland) [154]

to define the Polish interest.

Under NATO umbrella, and with a little help of EU, develop Poland's infrastructure (going for modern solutions) and grow economical and financial muscle.
Target: Poland as the one of the European Union shakers next to Germany and France.
To achieve this, policy of military support should be delicately balanced, not like is now - when polish army is spending all budged on supporting American military mission (which are really fools errant and they main aim is to bulge coffers of the bankers and the munitions corporation.)

EU investments should be directed by government to get an optimal results in achieving the target.
( right now, Poland is used as a colonial marked for some EU country's)
That is the reason I regard PO rule as a disaster!

You need to develop something to export as well if you don't want to stay a market for others!

yeah! that right!
Poland governments up the date let all the competitive industries to be sold out to their western competitors or locked away under the pretence of privatisation BB!

As a example you should look up in the Internet about manufacturing fibre-optic cable in Poland.
Just check who is the owner now, and when and why polish-owned factory's were sold out or locked away to make a place for foreign competitors.

I'm sure you'll find it if you are really interested

.To all, please don't make off topic posts. They will just end up in the bin
