Love / They seem nice, but could Polish girls be "gold diggers"? [196]

Why sadly? Because foreigners are so stupid? Or because Polish girls are clever?

Being a gold-digger doesn't make you clever. It just shows you're not willing to pursue a career and make a living on your own.

Most gold-diggers have a very low IQ.

Well, I don't really blame them even if they're "gold diggers" (it depends obviously what you really understand under it), lol. Who wants to be with some loser without any future?

That would be the pot calling the kettle black. The real loser is the uneducated Polish girl who has no career and therefore depends on someone else to make a living.

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]

Exiled, you make it sound like you're a pimp who specializes in offering Slavic girls.

Where's my Russian bride you promised me in another thread?

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

I don't think most will take it well. Its not like I hate Poland. There are things about Poland I love, but at the moment I am not too proud. I'm from Canada by the way.

Oh boy, I would hate to be in your situation because being Canadian is nothing to be proud of either. LOL

National pride should not be a concern for you. You are a unique individual as such you should worry about yourself rather than what's happening to the nation of your heritage.

Poland isn't as bad as some of the eastern Slavic countries but I agree that some Polish girls might have a greedy gold-digging attitude. While I am planning on marrying a Polish girl, I most certainly will avoid the gold-digging portion. They can go f*uck themselves.

I would prefer to marry a Polish girl mainly because I love Polish culture and it's something that I want my kids to embrace. I would like to preserve my heritage.

Thank God that there are plenty of Polish girls in northeastern America.

Life / Fat People in Poland? [161]

Are there a lot of fat people in Poland?

I live in America and there are too many fat blobs around here. The last time I was in Poland, I was only 10 years old so I don't recall if there were a lot of rollie pollies.

Genealogy / Neugebauer surname in Poland / Nestor, Zurawel, Worobec, Atamanczuk in Galicia Poland [27]

I don't know any Jew with the name of Neubauer/Neugebauer.

I did some research on the name and it mentioned that it can be Ashkenazic but like you said it's unusual for a Jew to have that name for the fact that Jews weren't farmers.

With that said, Adolf Neubauer who was a rabbinical scholar in Britain, was a Jew.

I also know a guy in college who has the last name Neugebauer and he's Jewish.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

Yeah, that's what I've heard other Polish Jews say before. Also, some of them mentioned that they're tired of the violence in Israel.

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that more and more Polish Jews are returning to Poland from Israel. Is this true?

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

Sokrates, do you have any credible sources on the genetic research that indicates that most Poles don't have any Jewish ancestors? I tried googling it but I'm not having any luck finding it.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

yehudi

I remember watching a documentary on Poles discovering their Jewish heritage a while ago. If I remember correctly, it said that thousands of Poles have discovered in the past decade that they are Jewish or that they had very close ancestors who were Jewish. A lot of these cases were related to WWII and some of them had the same story as you mentioned; they were hidden by Polish families.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

Technically speaking, Christianity does have Jewish roots so you can say that all European cultures do have some Jewish roots to a certain extent. :-)

There were about 2,500,000 Jews in Poland before Nazi Germany occupation,

What exact time before the Nazi occupation of Poland were you referring to? Most scholars say that just before Nazi Germany invaded Poland, there were about 3.3 to 3.5 million Jewish Poles living in Poland. A total of 6 million Poles died during the Holocaust, half of which were Jewish.

which doesn't even come CLOSE to 3/4 of the Jewish population at those times.

It's a well known fact that at some time Poland did hold 3/4 of the total Jewish population. Poland was the center of Jewish culture. Do not even try to argue that this isn't true.

Back on topic, my friend Pawel told me that the majority of Poles haev Jewish blood to some extent. That might explain the big boobs in girls and the Polish intelligence.

Haha! You know, based on my observations I do have to say that Jewish girls and Polish girls do indeed have big boobs most of the time. In my area, this isn't too common in other groups of people.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

As many of you know, Poland used to have the largest Jewish population in the world. Poland was pretty much the "Israel" of the middle ages. Many Jewish concepts were developed in Poland such as the Hasidic movement. My question is, how likely is it that the average Pole has had at least one Jewish ancestor? Have there been any significant genealogical studies on this?

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]

I'll date any girl as long as she has a good personality, decent looks, and is at least somewhat intelligent. I don't give a **** about her nationality/heritage.

It's also incredibly stupid to generalize all American guys. I'm American and I find it offensive that you would think that I'm just like every other American guy.

Why? So if you're flirting with a girl, and you find out she's Polish you will stop? Do you people really view nationality/heritage as such a huge factor in dating?

The reason polish girls date foreign men is because they assume foreign men have more money than polish men.

This is so true. This has also made me hate certain Polish girls. I find it funny how those girls tend to be the ones who don't accomplish much with their education. The Polish girls I know who do have great careers(in law, engineering, medicine, etc.) are married to Polish men.

I hate gold-digging sluts! :-O

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

Seanus

I like how you're twisting the use of the word. No, I wouldn't think it's appropriate to say "Hello negro" just like it wouldn't be appropriate to say "Hello black man." However, when referring to black people, there is nothing wrong with saying things like "A group of negros were protesting the release of a racist movie." I see it used in my local newspaper all the time. I live in Connecticut by the way which is a state that is filled with liberals.

It's actually not racist. Are you some liberal moron? It's the equivalent of negro in the English language.
