Life / Poles are not racist [873]

as youve already noticed, different people will give you different answers to your questions and the bottomline is that you can probably answer them through your own commonsense without anyone elses input...

go to poland - experience what it has to offer and then tell us about your experiences which i imagine will be both good and bad

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]

yet you see very few obese people in Poland (compared to here in the UK and in N. America).

they are getting fatter - maybe this is because they have been in the uk working and succumbed to a diet of chips and larger or maybe its because they are slowly moving away from their traditionally active lifestyle...

Henry Ford's grandfather John left famine-stricken Ballinscarthy, near Clonakilty, West Cork, with his family for America in 1847.

this said his parents left during the potato famine

which, following the reasoning of most americans makes him irish...

Ford ancestors had been evicted from land in Somerset, England.........

Alexander Graham Bell (3 March 1847 - 2 August 1922) was a Scottish scientist, inventor and innovator

So I guess we are all correct!

in the uk we largely claim to be from the country we were born and raised in, unlike americans who claim heratige from countries that some ancestor was born and raised in... but only going back as far as it suites them... otherwise theyd all be african and that could be awkward for some

Stupid Americans made it to the moon

why would a nation spend millions of dollars to send two men to the moon... and then send another god knows how many before they realised it wasnt made of cheese and was just a barren rock...?

couldnt have been the limeys - we'd just get a bunch of immigrants to do it for us...

Btw whats this rumor that your changing youre offical national
language to Polish?

why did you change yours to spanish... you couldnt even master english and its so much easier

Everyone KNOWS very well that Brits are the Most RACIST people in EUROPE

The report shows that ... this actually places the UK amongst the most tolerant nations in Europe

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

Everyone is different, i think it would be hard to tell...

lol - and everyone is equal but some of us are more equal than others ;-)

the more northern european countries are the ones i associate with blond hair and hair gets darker as you go south - what your origins are i wouldnt like to guess from a small black n white photo...

my hair is dark - its not black but its a lot darker than the average pole, my complexion is also quite dark, in poland i have been told i look like a gypsy

its not just physical features that set nationalities apart - the way they dress and conduct themselves also set them apart. you live in paris many of whose occupants are known for their style and presentation - have you not been in the city centre when its flooded with tourists mid summer and looked at people immediatly knowing they are not from france...?

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

i know there are differences between Meditteranean people

but can you see differences between italian and spanish...?

studying darwinism isnt needed - just look at those around you and notice similarities

in your profile photo you look as tho you have blonde hair (black n white photo so hard to tell) - this isnt a hair colour i would automatically ascociate with france

Yes, but not everyone studies different people like you

lol - never thougt of it like that but im definatley a people watcher

"The average person cannot distinguish the difference between the average Pole and the average German or average Frenchman."

yeah - true - the averae person doesnt spend considerable time abroad - some never even move out of their city other than a couple of weeks holiday a year

Most Poles look like any German or Englishman.

to the untrained eye quite probably

My mother can guess which actors in an American movie are Polish by looking at their eyes or jaw. 99% of the time she is right too

there you go - many nationalities stand out like sore thumbs to people who are used to seeing them

I do see what you're trying to get across though

im just stating the obvious for people who have spent amounts of time in different countries




im in the states atm, a country know as a melting pot of many different nationalities - its quite fun meeting people, americans, and trying to guess what their nationality origins are... most ive asked have been more than happy to tell me

Maybe. Tell me what are the physical differences for example ?

lol - google it... look at hair, hight, skin pigmentation... work your way from south to start with, the differences ar more noticable

then you have little experience to draw on other than your fellow countrymen - when you spend considerable time in other countries you begin to notice distinguishing characteristics

for example, chinese, japanese, and koreans all look very similar to foreigners but a trained eye (or to someone who has spent considerable time there) can tell the difference between them - eye slant amount, face elongation, average height etc

the same with africans - most of us, when thinking about africans have a clear image in our mind's eye but stand an etheopian, nigerian and camaroonian next to each other an notice pronounced differences

the same can be said for europeans

manily facial - but you will also see differences in the way they dress and present themselves

understand that this is a generalisation but a favourite passtime of mine for years has been people watching and guessing nationalities...

if you put a Pole in a room full of Germans, Frenchies, and Englishmen, you probably wouldn't be able to pick him out of the crowd.

you might not be able to for whatever reason (you probably havent travelled sufficiently) but these nationalities are pretty easy to diferentiate

Real Estate / Can foreigners buy land, house, or apartment in Poland? [60]

or is it possible someone from PL buys it for me and put it on my name despite i am not living here?

somebody from poland can act as a purcasing agent whereby the property is bought on your behalf - the exact terms of the agreement between you and the 'agent' will need to be specified in an individual contract and the whole process will probably need to be explained in detail to your lawyer

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret
Never to be told.

greeting a lone magpie counteracts the sorrow
