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

you were trampled in WWII

Its a hardly an argument, its a question of different potential between economies of the two foes, on the top of it German industry were given credits by the Wall Street when Poland were refused such financial injection.

Samoans and Tongans are pretty ferocious warriors. NZ Maori too.

Well, Poles given right circumstances, are on equal footing with anyone!

I would never belittle the Poles who fought and died in battle but to hear the current generation take some credit for that and compare themselves to them is silly.

Do you want it give a try? Polish soldiers did prove themselves on a many battlefields as USA allies! I'm talking about soldiery and warriors traits not about wars or equipment

It appears Poles somewhat rely on selected bits of Czech history to define themselves.

nonsense, the fact is Poles are the greatest warriors there is .....after doe training, there no question about it, Czech are simple a neighbor laughed at for they lack of martial aptitude, quite rude I would say but not without the case.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

if I had chosen say France and lived there for 5 years, I'd come back to America speaking absolutely fantastic French,

sure, you would come up with excuses, you would learn French only because french people would refuse to communicate in English.

Polish language is not that hard, many words and grammar is based on Latin

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]

That's a long list...

if someone start like that I know that i not really about long list, its usually boils down to one major problem - you failed and blame the others for your shortcoming's- that list is simply a list of excuses you made to feel better about yourself!

It can even be a real obstacles but boy didn't you know about it before? Should make a field study then ......you lazy git!

From your elusive answer i suspect that you are talking about administration - well, administration in Poland has nothing to do with Poles its like a dinosaur, leftover monster from different dimension. Its kept alive because a few people can make a money and generally living because of that alien fossil, they would never been able sustain himself on the same financial level otherwise.

Monster is long dead but everyone is pretending that its alive and dangerous, some because they have no chose, some because they make a living that way, and some because they get used to it.

No wonder you are confused person, do not confuse Poland's institutions with poles anymore - that's the beauty of the country worlds biggest park for dead monster.

what are you on about?

what are you on about?
you call business interest in Poland - care!
You going about how Poland need investments and should be grateful ( and maybe bowing and call them Masters ?)

Its business transaction, you are not here to care or make people's life better, you are here to make money.

What are you about?
Invests or not majority of Poles couldn't care less!

cares

its exactly that kind of "care" I cannot be bother with.
That care is not care at all its called business.

You need our money. Without foreign investment you would be living in the dark ages

...................................................................... ...................................................................... ...................................................................... ...................................................................... ...................................................................... .........................!sorry I was laughing.

The answer is simple - don't invest!

For a moment I have thought that you see what I see, necessity of the change of Poles attitude's , but you are talking about easing a way for foreign investment and ventures.

Sorry its a least of things which ought to change.

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [453]

Manners show respect for others and consideration

If someone is respectful and considerate for others he doesn't needs manners!

It's simply about how you were raised.

well, another load of useless tricks to deceive people - I was fed with them manners up to the tilt - so called manners do not make you a good person!

advocatus d.(well in a way I'm puling your leg, but don't let it spoil this discussion)

Rubbish! I am well versed in the art of drinking.

and proud of it ! Go mate go, show them :)

Sadly for Poland the national reputation is not a great one

And why is that ?
To tell you the truth I couldn't care less!add full covers some nuclear rockets or two, and reputation or not half the world would kiss Poland's ass.

what we ARE saying is that modern Polish culture has some huge changes it will have to undertake if it wants respect.

modern culture in Poland is hardly polish, it sucks!
*********** respect it should be changed or this polish speaking tribe will case to exists, why bother really...

You are not some kind of genius to spot obvious :)

History / Question on Poland's szlachta clan admission [26]

Is he? Where? Because if you mean that the same coat of arms meant that you were a part of the clan thats rubbish, take my family, our coat of arms is Rogala and we share it with what? Sixty other families?

Asking about clans and projecting the way Scottish clans were on Poland's noblemen.
I have taken into account his origin and you are only confusing the issue with your interpretations.

Family structure which bore great similarities to a clan structure and yes i do not mean Scottish clans but then again these are not defining of the term Clan either.

If we are talking about structures of magnates family and household is not enough to call it clan, if we talking about connection of the magnates and noblemen there still no enough similarities to call it clan, its all more like patron -client relationship much alike ancient Rome.

You may think about Polish "klan" but it is something quite different.

Well, hallo I'm proud, honest, hardworking, love my country and defend my religion.
I'm also tolerant, open minded with sense of humor, like nature and animals, suspicious about human motives, believe that evil exists and right and just doest; necessarily win.

Intelligent and interested in others cultures and way of life.
Don't believe that egalitarianism and democracy works its rather cheese in the mouse trap.

Thats not all but its long enough:)

Ah last but not least - I'm very modest person!

You all should educate yourself and read New York Morning Star's article by John O'Sullivan in 1845. You would understand that American's are new and good as opposite to old and tyrannical old world.
