Love / Indian citizen wants to marry Polish Girl and get settled there. [109]


As a Pole living in America, you aren't in a position to welcome anyone to the UK.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]


A fair assessment.

Not many people know about the British diaspora, people who are the last remnant of the empire, who consider themselves British, but have never really lived there and wouldn't like it much if they did. And each one considers themself a British patriot, drinking tea with milk and reading week old copies of the Daily Mail. East Africa and the Middle Eastern 'gulf states' have plenty of such people, with much the same identity crisis.

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]


Me too - maybe it's the same English lady, in which case she's very assimilated and been here for years, and now has a Polish citizen for a son. All the rest indeed run.

I knew of an American lady teacher here who was thoroughly dispirited by Polish men, usually for hitting on her and not mentioning that they're married, or taking her to dinner, paying for it, then asking for her share outside the restaurant, and in one case taking her to meet the family and asking her not to mention that she's part Indian.

Genealogy / Popular Polish First Names? [152]

I used to teach English in Poland, and if at the end of a long, hard day I needed to nominate students to speak, but was too tired to remember all their names, I'd just say Agnieszka and someone would answer. Worked every time.

Also, I just counted 17 Tomeks and 9 Andrzejs in the contact list in my cellphone

UK, Ireland / What English food would you serve a Pole? [172]

Pork pies! I brought some to Poland this week - people always like them here.

Also pot-roasted shoulder of lamb always goes down well.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


No. Nor is there any great interest in this in Poland.

Food / Traditional Polish Soups. [85]

It's great on a cold Warsaw morning :-)

Food / Traditional Polish Soups. [85]

I know it as grochowa wojskowa with both ham and sausage

History / Vilamovian language - now that's something interesting [24]

Check out the SEARCH function - there have been three of four threads on wymysorys, one of them very recently.

One interesting thing is that it's supposed to be mutually intelligible with NE Scots dialects.

Law / Are banks from Poland safe? [42]


In a lot of countries, it's quite normal to buy little ingots, for that very reason.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]

Except Derek, that the government and people of Poland have shown no interest whatsoever in nuclear weapons, and plenty of interest in healthcare reform.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]

They don't even want nuclear power, and quite a few were against the missile shield for whatever reason.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]


Even then, it's questionable whether the bombs in Pakistan are actually Pakistan's bombs. They were paid for by a large oil-rich country who isn't allowed to keep their own.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]


Or much worse, launch them.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]


Hopefully the one born from democracy, however given that Poland shares a border with Russia, I can't see her ever getting nukes.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]

Though Poland has never shown any interest in having them and opposition within the country would be widespread. Besides, they are committed to nuclear non-proliferation.

History / Prophesy - Poland from sea to sea. [57]


But would the folks between Poland and the Black Sea be as keen?

History / Prophesy - Poland from sea to sea. [57]

If you're sceptical about prophecy, check out Agnieszka Pilchowa. Some of her prophecies, thankfully recorded by observers at the time, are precise and detailed and came true.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [190]

If you need to ask that...

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [190]


None of the first and very few of the second.


But a hęll of a lot are and do.


A weird thing to say.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [190]


Remove the drive-by shootings and illegal aliens, add skinheads and chronic alcohol abuse and you've got modern Poland in a nutshell.

History / Should David Irving, Holocaust denier, be allowed to run tours to Poland? [246]


Well... You're he one defending the extreme position of the guy the thread's about.


Irving's books?


Someone musy buy them - though Irving's books don't quite fit that profile.


And most of them either distasteful, imaginary, or both.


Because one of them was a holocaust survivor who dedicated his life to righting wrong; and the other a self-publicist and demagogue with exxtreme views who makes his money as an apologist for the Third Reich.

History / Should David Irving, Holocaust denier, be allowed to run tours to Poland? [246]


Another weird comment - have you finished the treatment by the way?


Tell us then.


Not accepted by whom?


And who buys them? And how would you know what "nazis/racists care about"?
We're all ears.

History / Should David Irving, Holocaust denier, be allowed to run tours to Poland? [246]


"Have trusted" would be more appropriate, since the gentleman died a few years ago, but for holocaust deniers, accuracy seems less important than the ideology of hate.

Shortcomings or not, Dr Wiesenthal managed to bring some of the twentieth century's most despicable individuals to justice. Mr Irving (who is NOT a historian, by the way) just seeks to profit from upsetting holocaust survivors and their families, while at the same time enjoying the attention he gets from racist groups.

News / Chechen Congress in Poland, Russia frowns [90]

Very little really, and a dodgy film to boot. Though if Poland were to decide which nationality could visit on the grounds of things that people have done in their name, the airport would be pretty quiet. No Germans since WW2, no Americans since Vietnam, no Belgians since the colonial era and no French since the 1950s.

News / Chechen Congress in Poland, Russia frowns [90]


Your film doesn't say much about Poland.


They've been shelling, gassing, rounding up and shooting the men, women and children of Chechenya for hundreds of years and haven't broken them. The Russians should call it a day before their co-religionists step in and teach the Russians a lesson once and for all.

News / Chechen Congress in Poland, Russia frowns [90]


Why?

News / Chechen Congress in Poland, Russia frowns [90]


Yes. There are only about a million left, after being systematically terrorised for centuries by the Russians.

Work / Black English Teacher going to Wroclaw [247]

Do you suggest that people have to sit back and be abused?

Work / Black English Teacher going to Wroclaw [247]


Why should he run.


"Their"? Or maybe his too.
