Love / Are all beautiful Polish girls as crazy as this? [262]

I've seen a bunch of post like this here. You're a doucebag, grow a pair, blah blah, well next time i suggest you get a nice hot girl from the US.

She will take all of your sh1t in the divorce process, ruin your business relationship, your job, make your family not ever wanting to talk to you and she will kick you out of your own house on your flat broke as$. When you wake up from this nightmare you'll find yourself living under a bridge, begging for the next meal.

you either trying to pick up more chick here or you're just a total dumb as$.

Yup. It would be sheer lunacy on my part to claim that I was "100% ethnically Scots".

ok so in your opinion what are you? I'm actually interested to know.

are you British of Scottish descent?

Don't tell me you're a plastic Polack because that's has been already reserved for us in the US.

For me it is more important to be understood than anything else but I am not that great at even that, that's why I amn't a writer or something.

I wish there was more of you out there.

Well, aren’t you great..........what I do with my money is my concern.

Looking for stats on perception in notoriously difficult given the nature of the subject matter. I gave my opinion, you engineered a dispute because you are too stupid to understand a few commonly used words, if English were not your first language I could understand.

My opinion is based upon travelling, reading and talking.

See now you're just upset. I do apologize that i confused nationality with ethnicity Mr. Adolph Woodchuck sir. My opinion is based on reading traveling and talking as well.

When reading start with the idea of manifest destiny and work from there. When talking to people you can’t help but notice that Americans usually self apply a hyphen, Europeans usually talk about nation.

That tells me that you don't understand, but i see that you do have a capacity to do so. Why don't you come down open up a little, live here for a few years (can't be uptight about it) and I'm sure you'll understand why. If you hang around academics for too long you get brainwashed in to not seeing the obvious. I really don't feel like explaining this to you, because I'm afraid that you pop a gasket or something.

Considering many know about their Irish ancestry and how we fled famines and arrived in America desperately poor and in many cases hated like rodents, I am not sure if snobbery is the right term. Although it depends on what type of snobbery. e.g. Irish are better than Hungarians but worse than Czechs. (totally made up but maybe there is snobbery that I am unaware of?)

Very accurate observation, this is what i was trying to point out. I find the expression "plastic pole" as yet another variation of this type of snobbery.

You're worst, because you left, so you can't call yourself Polish anymore.... blah blah blah, go back to your scotch tape factory.

I suppose that's why we use the term "dumb Polack".

Hey, do you live near the scotch tape factory there plastic?

you can call me dumb Polack on the forum, i don't mind. You call me that on the street I'll knock your teeth out lol

SeanBM

no clue about the people, they could be from any country.

I think of ethnicity more in terms of DNA and I don't think there is a Polish DNA strand, unlike what people from America pay money to find.

Finally something intelligent, you're absolutely right. They based their assumptions on a theory that people live in the same place for centuries. Majority do, but... blah blah

I just find it strange after all there are no other thoughts to get in its way.

You're totally too uptight about the whole thing.
Honestly, I've lived in both places, i travel on business and observe. It's just my opinion.

I really don't care about the subject of ethnicity too much. I was enjoying my conversation with this Scottish dude who lives in in Poland and thinks that he hates Plastic Poles from the US.

i post whatever i like, i donated some money and they tolerate me. I may donate some more in the future. I think you should contribute too, because this is a pretty cool site. I have this feeling that you're on the mission or something.

Ok, Give me some stats on how people perceive ethnicity in Europe v.s. the US.
let's settle this.

yeah, are you wearing your kilt and daggers now? Cause if you don't then you're just like the rest of them plastic Scottish people. Pardon my ignorance but i can't distinguish Englishman form a Scot if they're not wearing their kilt... and some bagpipes would help as well.

Go ahead and talk to your buddy Mr. woodchuck up there, cause he thinks Europians don't care about it.

You guys need to be more consistent with those answers. My research paper is getting all messed up. I know! let's square this away,

Who is European and cares about their ethnicity and who doesn't here?

Don't be shy speak up.

Where did I say Americans were racist?

Are you just looking for a fight because you misunderstood a word?

do you live in front of your computer monitor? i edited that and hour ago. It was a wrong thing to say so i deleted it. Wth is your problem dude? lol

That's cool dude you linked an old movie, I'm proud of you. I don't feel watching it now though.
Can you like write what it is all about and e-mail it to me. I'll read it later i promise.

I don't carry Kennel papers.

wtf is kennel papers? i couldn't even find that on the net, are you mad at me there buddy? no need to stress, ok?

A new culture looking for something older, possibly deeper?

Everyone is confused about their ethnicity, We look at Europeans where it seems to be important to know. Usually after a shot conversation people just conclude that they're just Americans. I'm doing my research here, with you guys.

Is there a section for ethnicity in an American passport?

Yes but they're confusing it with a country of origin...

i think on census the choices are white, Hispanic, Black, Asian and other... where you can ask them to write whatever you want. Like I'm a plastic pole or black and white or 2/3 Asian and 1/6 Native Indian and 0.17% of Gypsy, is that 1?

Don’t confuse nationality with ethnicity.

What is your ethnicity there woodchuck? Don't tell me you're black because I'm not having this conversation.

Btw I'm proving my point with my ignorance, lol truly bud, no one really gives a sh1t, they call you as they see you, simple

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

US beef is hormone free now?

Hormones and electrolytes, yeah they're good for you body... Jola, do you take birth-control pills?

If you don't wanna eat them just read the label on the product before you put it into your mouth. It's not like it's some kind of conspiracy dude. lol

not as important to Europeans as it is to Americans.

so why don't you like unite for real over there and pick a language and create true states instead of those individual countries?

Also, you're saying that if a Polish person goes to Spain or vice versa, no one would notice or care?
I was in Spain last month and everyone was asking us if we were some rich Russians. Don't know why, apparently there is an influx of rich Russians in Madrid or something. One big happy EU family...

You're so plastic that it's not even funny.

even better then a TX steak

the whole mućka wouldn't even cover 1/4 of my grill. Maybe that's why you make kotlety out of them instead of steaks.
polish mućka can't compare to a longhorn. I think you guys should set all mućki free or keep'em as pets, like cats or just for milk. get some longhorns instead.

Do you want to edit that.

This was something I noticed a lot in the states, the inability of your average punter to discriminate.

It's not a discrimination it's a free market, people do business here in English . When there is a need to do business in Spanish then that's the language we're going to speak. I don't see that happening any time soon though because Mexico is a sh1thole and there is nothing i want from there.

edit: other than tequila and beautiful Spanish chicks

Of course not but Mexicans are not really looking for respectful jobs.

I'm fine with that, someone needs to flip burgers and cut my grass... They'll smarten up and learn eventually

specifically meat

I felt slightly adventurous one time so i bought polish spam "wieprzowa mielonka w puszce" in a polish grocery store. I almost puked when i opened it.

It's all about how you prep your food imo.

The American Polonia ("Polacks") are exceptionally stupid, yes. It's like they've taken the worst of Polish stupidity and incorporated it into American stupidity - yielding a particular blend of stupidity that only American Polacks could have.

This is kind of funny, Scottish dude that hates the American Polonia LMAO. I have nothing bad to say about Scottish in the US. I've met quite a few so it must be just you.

One of my Scottish buddies told me that in Scotland you can get arrested for being drunk in possession of a cow and any man owning more than 12 sheep must prove that he is not a 'pimp', is that true?

Genealogy / Americans of Polish descent. How many of us are on Polish forums? [216]

The job market is tough from what I've heard but I haven't been looking so I'm not totally sure. If I were to summarize it, Hawaii is awesome but can be lonely if you aren't ready to meet the local crowd.

so, what do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking? :)
