News / "POLISH death camps" term used by "Parade Magazine" Anti-Polish Bigots [249]

Perhaps the writer doesn't understand that by writing this, he gives other writers the perfect reason to call the camps "Polish".

Perhaps you are a ******* idiot.

Surely, anyone who writes about "Polish" concentration or death camps is either a bigot or a moron.

Or, more likely, doing this on purpose to tarnish the image of poles ie. make them out to be on par with the nazis.

News / Black Haitians considering themselves as Poles [31]

we have covered this topic a while ago... in conclusion, it's all bs...

Having some polish blood in them serves as hope. I'm sure they would love to prove (although in their case these ties go back too far) they have ties with poland so they could get PL citizenship and move to western europe to live off taxpayers.

Life / Vasectomy in Poland is illegal? Why? [123]

If vasectomies are illegal (news to me) in poland than go to another country to get snipped.

And going through life without progeny is a poor excuse for life indeed.

Wow. You are totally out of touch with the 21st century.

edit:

- not younger than 35
- have children

The government should mind it's own business.

Food / Polish & US heat & eat foods? [16]

They're ok but i prefer to cook my own food from scratch. I don't want to sound conceited, but i am actually a really good cook.

I've noticed a lot of polish families buy these "heat and eat" meals and say they're good.

News / Polish Lithuanian Diplomatic War? At last. [533]

Poles have lived in what is now lithuania for quite some time therefore they deserve some protection - just like germans living in western poland or sorbs in eastern germany.

No they didn't, they were independent before the commonwealth.

He didn't say they weren't independent prior to the commonwealth.

This again? Lithuania was eaten up by Russia, it was in the U.S.S.R, remember?

He's referring to the time long before the creation of the ussr.

So you happily jump the modern parts of history because they don't suit your view.
How convenient for you.

He was specifically talking about a past event which had nothing to do with more recent history. Just stay on topic.

Love / Why do so many Polish girls dye their hair BLACK? [124]

I just moved to Poland recently and have been living here for 2 months and I realize that most of the Polish girls are dying their hair to black. Is this some kind of trend or are there any other reasons? Do they love black hair? What's your experience of this?

Darker Caucasian women look good in dark hair.

Most polish women IMO do not look good with black hair, especially naturally blond Polki.

I think polish women are trying to look more mediterranean in appearance because many men say they like that look. I hate to say it, but it's not working out for most of them very well.

Women in poland should just stick to their natural colors.

Blond hair + light complexion > dark hair + light complexion

This is just another example of Poles being obsessed with foreign sh!t.

Love / Indian citizen wants to marry Polish Girl and get settled there. [107]

VISA and what kinda of VIsa for coming Poland and get married

The UK wouldn't let you in so you're coming to poland? You should try the search function, there have been plenty of threads created by indians, pakis, and arabs about getting a visa, residency, marriage etc.

Master degree

Was it difficult to bribe the officials at your "university"? Just curious, how much did it cost to get the degree?

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

Sooo.. I was told to start a thread.

No, YOU wanted to start a complaining thread - your complaining about poland and americans is annoying and worse than hearing poles complain about everything.

I'm starting to think brits complain more than poles - good lord is this possible??

"Busha"

Does not mean grandmother. I've never heard anyone in polonia say that. Maybe you heard someone talk about george.

Jaja (isn't this eggs?)

Eggs or testicles (slang).

don't even understand that the Polish word for a male Pole is "Polak"

Incorrect. American used to call polish migrants "dumb polaks." Over time the dumb part was dropped due to it being offensive, but yanks continued calling poles "polaks" as the same vulgar meaning was still understood.

Then there's the way that many of them completely mispronounce their "Polish" name. The worst example? I found a video on youtube of someone called "Marchewka". Anyone living in Poland will know that it's pronounced something similar to "mar-hef-ka" - but to the Polonia? It's "Mar-Chew-Ka". Gah.

Seriously, why do real Poles put up with them?

The only thing wrong with the polonia is that they get involved in polish politics and support the kaczki. Other than that, poles like the polonia as almost everyone in poland has at least 1 family member in the usa.

The polish language among the polonia will fade overtime and these people will continue calling themselves polish-americans the same way americans of italian heritage call themselves italian americans (same goes for scots, irish, krauts etc).

It's a north american thing, an ignorant, grumpy, closed minded limey like you will never understand.

Maybe you want to start a new thread now to complain about the american pronunciation of english words...

The odd thing is why they appear to vote Kaczynski, yet idol-worship Walesa and vote Democrat. Doesn't make any sense at all!

They idol walesa because of solidarity and kaczynski because he is reminiscent of the poland they left in the past. Poland has changed considerably, the polonia hasn't really that much as they weren't around for the transition.

Worst thing is, that seems to be their attitude - that Poland is poor, and while it's fine to come and visit (and look down at) the relatives, it's not for staying in.

Nobody from the polonia looks down on poles in poland. In fact they help their family in poland. But you wouldn't know this because your not a Pole. Staying is not an option for most as they have settled in their adoptive countries, established careers, had kids etc and besides poland is a different place. Emigrating out of poland was VERY difficult for most poles, nobody wants to repeat that. Again nothing you could every understand.

Talk about desperately trying to make mountains out of molehills to bring divisions between Poles in Poland and their relatives outside of Poland.

Divide and rule. It's the british way.

Work / Black English Teacher going to Wroclaw [247]

something you never had and something you will never get. ouch! :)

Every foreigner gets laid in Poland - it's very easy here actually. Foreign men are as appealing as water is in the Sahara desert.

The most difficult part is keeping it a short term relationship.

I don't say things like that in real life, only on the internet. Most men don't talk like that either - but we do think that way!

History / POLES NOT KEEN ON REPRODUCING? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GERMANS AND RUSSIANS? [67]

Maybe the partitions had an affect on demographics - i'm sure a lot of poles were germanified/russified during this time, maybe they even had less kids...

I read an article once about a rather large number of poles (in the 100000's) packing up and leaving poland for the ruhr region of germany in the early 1800s.

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

You know, real Poles doing real work - not Plastic Poles hiding in America.

And you're a brit hiding in Poland. Why don't you go back to the struggling UK to work there to make your country a better place?

There's nothing more Plastic and Fake than a person who doesn't speak Polish, proclaiming themselves to be Polish.

Once again you don't understand the US.
Polish-Americans are Polish americans - they know this, but when people ask about their backgrounds they will say polish - it doesn't mean they are polish, just of polish descent. Same thing goes for italian-americans, scottish-americans, mexican americans etc. If they are of mixed heritage, they will say "I am polish, german, chinese and ....." They will always say they are american until someone asks about their ancestry. A lot of people in the US are just aware of where they came from.

Simple as that.

I hope that eventually Delph can be less bitter about us in America. He may have met or read something ignorant by someone in America, but it is so unfair to judge us all adversely.

He hates the USA - simple as that. I think he is also jealous of the US and jealous of Poles who have found success there as well.

Love / Polish women are complicated. Why? [51]

I feel for Polish men in terms of finances, though, especially the married ones. A guy can earn 5.5k and the woman will treat that money as her fund yet not be prepared to take anything out of her private stash and contribute. That's a complaint I've heard all too often from Polish guys.

I noticed this too when i dated polish women. It's much worse when they know you're a foreigner or (in my case) if they know you grew up in the west.
