History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

I'm Polish and I would like to see friendship instead of animosity. And not only with Jews but with all nationalities.

You are actually right about the blood lines and citizenship. However, you do not have to be a citizen to become a politician in Poland

Foreigners can be politicians but they wouldn't go too far

bryk.pl/teksty/studia/pozostałe/politologia/24007-zasady_prawa_wyborczego.html

To be elected one has to:
- turn 18 to the day of elections
- be Polish citizen
- posses full rights as citizens

Love / Are Polish girls open to foreigners? [78]

They can have romances with their own women.

And if they don't want to?

No reason to tolerate sex/love/marriage tourism because it makes competition tougher for European guys.

Tolerate? We are not some toys little boys can tolerate to borrow.

Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [76]

The bottom line is, those Polish Jews feel Jewish before anything else.

That's their right. Why should I have anything against it?

who do think promoted the Silesian separatist movement?

Silesians? You can't possibly deny the fact that some Silesian want to separate from Poland? And they are doing the best they can to achive it- that's their right.

The only group that does not want to assimilate despite having resided in Poland for centuries is the Jewish group,.

And what about some Silesians? And the separatist movement?
And many Jews felt they're Polish as well as Jewish.

Life / The Best Things About Poland [65]

-You are a people with self-esteem problems or something,

I don't have problems with my country. And don't talk about all Poles. We all have different personalities and views.

don't even recognize your distinctiv 2 fingered salute and your Rogatywka as stylish.

I always liked it but there's no rule that you have to like these things

Language / POLISH 18 - 30 years old know MUCH BETTER ENGLISH language than their own native language! [102]

Often Poles seem angry, offended at even the slightest corrective recast of their often faulty English. This is where I and others often have a problem!

I always welcome help (and correcting faulty expressions is big help) but I often feel embarrassed that I've got it wrong the first time.Maybe that's what you take for anger?I can't speak for the whole nation but that's how I feel about it-same rules for every person struggling with foreign language.

Some ppl do that and I have nothing against it.I know how hard it is to really learn foreign language.Besides that's the price English paid for being international language.You can't have it both ways.Just see how many ppl (even here) says things like "nobody speaks English.." as if it was ppl duty to know English.And you get something for that - there is much more materials available in English,you can travel without language difficulties...That's just how it is.

Life / Do young Polish people believe in their religion and God? [150]

"99% of all children in Poland are baptized

That's probably true,most children are baptized altough I must say that among my friends it's usually because the family wants that.

92.8% of all marriages are accompanied by a church wedding

There's no real alternative(if you want "pretty" ceremony).

90% and 98% of the population will answer 'Roman Catholic' when asked about their religion

Usually I hear "I don't know,I'm not sure"

Language / Dupa - what a beautiful Polish word [103]

E.g., ?

I live next to "zawodówka" so I often hear sentences like :Twoja matka dupy dawała i stąd się wziąłeś (Your mother was easy and that's why you're born)

And not so often [because not so many girls like such sweettalkers :)]"Dasz mi dzisiaj dupy?"(will you f... with me tonight?)
Or sentence that became a joke:
"Dajesz dupy czy trzeba z tobą chodzić"(You f... or do I have to date you}

Language / Dupa - what a beautiful Polish word [103]

it is rarely used in this sense today.

I wouldn't say that.I hear this expresion quite often.

So, what does it mean?: Ironside znowu dał dupy.

I won't spoil the fun for Rybnik but you shouldn't put Ironside in this sentence even as an example.
