Love / In 2009 nearly 4000 Poles married a foreigner [170]

Racially Slavs should mix with Slavs it is the best if we mix out.
But, Other whites is fine.

not true. A mixing of the genes from various gene pools is most desirable.

urban legend

Neither urban nor legend.

History / Polish pirates [58]

My niece attends a rather hippy-ish private primary school here in California and it bans pirate costumes from its Halloween celebrations because pirates still exist, especially in South-East Asian waters, and they are brutal murderers.

Really? But it's Jack Sparrow! How sad :(

MARRIAGES CONTRACTED BY FOREIGNERS
a
IN POLAND

109 Nigerian men

The Nigerians were a hot item back in the early 80's when I was there in school. One of our Polkis married Rafal, a great guy from Lagos. Poor bastard died in a car accident outside Katowice.

History / An American studying medicine in the PRL 1978-1985: my story [142]

We attended the same event :)

It was awesome! :)

Żaczek?

"Piast" I think

finished their full six-year course in medicine in Warsaw

Sad story! From my group there was One girl from New Jersey, two brothers from Windsor, Ontario and a guy from upstate New York(veterinary medicine) who chose Warsaw.......Yea I remember the ONLY movies from the USA were the one that showed America's dark and dirty side.

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

This is what I got: "An equinox happens each year at two specific moments in time (rather than two whole days), when there is a location (the subsolar point) on the Earth's equator, where the center of the Sun can be observed to be vertically overhead, occurring around March 20/21 and September 22/23 each year".

Travel / Visiting Poland in May - what should I bring? [28]

I think some Peyote would make a great gift

Haha. Bring some to Jersey on your way to Poland ;)

the best selling beers are pale lagers

Too bad. I love pilsners.

when i came to poland for the first time in the early 90s - sure, jars of coffee were prized enough to be placed around the lounge like ornaments.

You're blowing my mind!

They used to call Americans 'gum chewers' (not meant kindly).

YES. So true.

mixing is not desirable.

You are so off! I refer you to Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species"

For starters eventually many Europeans including Poles could go extinct as a people from mixing.

Not true. Look at the Filipinos. 400 years of Spanish and 90 years of American rule and their culture, customs, language is still going strong.

Increase of interracial marriage is the result of unfortunate economic developments like benefits to Blacks and Latinos by affirmative action and collapse of eastern Block with subsequent flow of poor white women to western countries.

???

But polish women exhibit an extraordinary ignorance having lived for decades behind the iron wall and now they learn their bitter lessons.

Hahaha! You're very funny.

History / Nowa Huta and other achievments of PRL (People's Republic of Poland) [79]

(forgive me if I am repeating a sentiment) Simply put I feel Nowa Huta was itentionally placed just outside Krakow to figuratively and literally "spit" on the Krakowskie inteligentia. It was meant to be a constant reminder to those, who thought they knew better, that Stalinism is here to stay and that the proleteriat rules.

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]

Maybe this question should be posed on a seperate thread but I have to ask the forum this question: is there a Polish equivalent to the Jewish Anti-Defamation League?

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]

I know in the USA the Polish American community's more connected and has done a fairly good job of fighting anti-Polish sentiment.

you know, in the old days they were pretty ineffectual. They would complain and the "dumb polak" jokes kept coming along with the Stan Kowalski's on TV and film . It's better now no thanks to these organizations, although they do try, but rather that the media has laid off the Poles. I don't know why exactly but I have my suspicions.

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]

Putting an end to Polish stereotypes in the media is one thing and correcting factual errors is another. Polonia has been very effective dealing with the latter however.....Only recently has the frequency/viciousness of these jokes abated and I think it's directly related to Poland's improving relations with the Jewish community.

we'll see but the trend from what I can tell is a much-deserved relaxation of anti-Polish potrayals on TV and film...we'll see. You know they have the power. It's practically all in their hands.

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]

if America kept out of Polish or European affairs Poland would never have gained her independence after WWI, western European nations didn't give a rat's ass about Poland, Woodrow Wilson pushed for Poland's independence. America allowed millions of Poles to escape from poverty and communism, Reagan backed Solidarity.

Too bad she f***ed her at Yalta :(

Great, when are you coming to Poland to volunteer in our hospitals, schools, churches and more?

Or are you, just like all the other Polacks, going to leave that job to the fine Americans of non-Polish origin?

I get your point.

Tell you what - if every Polish American on this forum gave me $100 a month towards funding sport opportunities for children in Poland, I could do so much with the money.

Maybe you should start a non-profit.

News / John Godson, born in Nigeria, might become Poland Sejm's first black deputy! [313]

But i think that Europe is for European people in the first place, just like China is for Chinese people, Japan is for Japanese people, Africa is for African people, etc. You get the point?

It's really very simple. You pays taxes, contributing to society-you enjoy all the rights of that society.

Love / Polish girls' attitude towards different kinds of sex [88]

My experiences might be unique, but the few Polish girls that I have been intimate with all seem to have a real liking for anal sex. Some even tell me they prefer it to vaginal sex. I've never gotten this impression from girls of any other nationality and I am really wondering if the girls I meet are unique, or if this is a real common thing amongst Poles.

Maybe it's the government? The PRL-girls during my day were all Nie, nie, nie.

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

Earlier in the thread there was some talk regarding pierogies. I'll be coming to Poland in a few months and I wanted to know if there are any "pierogi-parlors" in Wrocław, Kraków, Zielona Góra or Katowice?
