Life / Poles are not racist [873]

Going back to the subject here... I think that Poles are extremely racist - we are especially anti-Semitic, but also racist against Arabs, Blacks etc. I'm not particularly happy about it, nor proud, but if you can read Polish language then I suggest you visit one of the bigger polish online news sites (wp.pl, onet.pl, etc) and checkout some readers comments under the news. They are full of anti-Semitism and all kinds of racism. Now have in mind that those comments are heavily censored - which means that either there are many more even worst opinions that never make to the point of publication, or the censors themselves have racist views and pick and choose from more extreme and racist comments.

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]


Nah, if you mean just a plain cabbage, that's not much of a dish, and if you mean bigos - there is a huge amount of bacon lard that goes in it. That's why it's sooo good, see?

I had an idea though. What if I made some nalesniki (crepes) but with a whole wheat flour instead of white, using light veggie oil. I could stuff it with a bunch of fruits like strawberry, cantaloupe, and banana. That would be a great breakfast dish. Unfortunately, not very polish.


There you go. I could dice some apples and let's say some pears and stuff it into my light whole wheat crepes, sweeten it with maybe natural honey and sprinkled w/ cinnamon. Sounds really yummy and healthy, but is it a real polish dish?

These "stupid" Americans, not only made it to the moon but also gave the world

1. Light bulb,
2. Airplanes,
3. Mass produced cars,
4. Telephone,
5. TV
6. Air-conditioning and refrigeration
7. Nuclear technology
8. Computers, PCs
9. Internet
10. Tom Cruise

For that last one we profusely apologize.

PS1. Oh, yeah – and about 80% of Nobel prizes each year!

PS2. We also gave the world saying: “Can’t we all just get along?” – Thank you, Mr. Rodney King! :)

Hmmm... here is a quote from Wiki:

"Alexander Graham Bell (3 March 1847 - 2 August 1922) was a Scottish scientist, inventor and innovator. Throughout his early life, Alexander Graham Bell was a British subject but in 1915, he characterized his status as: "I am not one of those hyphenated Americans who claim allegiance to two countries." Despite this declaration, Bell has been claimed as a "native son" by Canada, Scotland and the United States.[1] Born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, he immigrated to Canada in 1870, and then to the United States in 1871, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1882."

So I guess we are all correct! Once again, mr. Rodney King was right "Can't we just all get along?"

Just so happens, that I was in one of his laboratories just last week. He built this one together with his friend, Henry Ford, I think in Florida, next to his vacation home. Latter they moved it to Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

"he immigrated to Canada in 1870, and then to the United States in 1871"
Anyways, does it really matter that much? If it's really that important to you, you can say and think whatever you want. Enjoy!


Wikipedia:
"Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 - April 7, 1947) was the American founder of the Ford Motor Company and father of modern assembly lines used in mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. He was a prolific inventor and was awarded 161 U.S. patents. As sole owner of the Ford Company he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world.

(...)
Ford was born on July 30th, 1863, on a farm next to a rural town west of Detroit, Michigan (this area is now part of Dearborn, Michigan)."

Now honestly: why does it make so much difference to you guys?

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

Going back to the original subject (again): We have all just demonstrated the one thing that causes racism and all the hatred in the World (Bask terrorists, Northern Ireland, Timothy Mcveigh, Yugoslavia, Holocaust, Iraq, Armenian Genocide, 9-11, Katyn, Mogadishu, Rwanda and so on, and so on...). It is all about this attitude "my people are better then yours, my sh*t smells better then yours." Well done displaying it for us today, my friends. And, to be truthful, I've participated in it as well. Just something to think about for me and for all of us.

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]

If this is the way you feel about the country you are a guest of, I suggest you leave immediately. May I ask you what the f are you doing there? Go home, homeboy.

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]


That's a great idea - except you probably don't want to use any hamburger meat (might as well have a hamburger then). Maybe instead of the hamburger meat you could use lets say some ground turkey? Nevertheless - we got a winner!


The thing is that we try not to eat any pork or veal. And that's like 95% of polish meats. Plus polish meat is always breaded and sated, which I would rather not do - doesn’t sound too healthy to me.

Same thing with the potatoes - carbs.
What kind of salads would you consider "polish"? I know there is the mizeria and the surowka w/sour kraut + sugar, anything else?

Hey you guys look what I've found:

Vegan Polish Dishes - Recipe

STRAWBERRY OR BLUEBERRY SOUP

1 pound fresh strawberries or blueberries,
cleaned well
1 1/4 caps water
3 Tablespoons vegan granulated sweetener
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cap soy or rice coffee creamer or vanilla
soy or rice ice cream
Optional: 2 caps cooked, cooled noodles

Place fruit in a medium pot, add water and bring to a quick boil. Reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until fruit is very soft.

Place in blender and puree. Return puree to pot, add sugar, lemon juice and cream or ice cream. Stir and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Chill soup for at least 2 hours before serving. It is traditional to eat this soup on its own or served over cold noodles.

I remember now - it used to be my favored! Allthough I only had it with blueberrys, never with strawberrys.

Here is an easier recepie I found on Cooks.com:

AWARD WINNING BLUEBERRY SOUP

1/3 c. sour cream
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen blueberries, partially thawed
2 tbsp. sugar
Lemon slices for garnish

1. In a covered blender container at low speed, blend sour cream, blueberries and sugar until smooth or, press blueberries through a food mill and mix puree with sour cream and sugar until smooth.

2. Serve soup chilled, garnished with lemon slices.

Most of Poles ARE racist, there is no doubt. The funny part is that they truly don't understand it; they honestly don't believe you when you point it out to them. Just today I've seen a post here titled "Jews are a problem" or something like that. Do you think that any other Poles objected to that? No. They think it's OK, just "debating", that's all.

And yeah, it is especially idiotic because we Poles are Slavs, an "inferior race" according to the Nazi philosophy.

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

Polish women are very goal-minded. They are also deceitful and insidious. Family (husband) means nothing to them, other goals like material things and monetary rewards are way more important in their life. The reason why they are not so good in bed is that they don't really know how to truly enjoy themselves. In their minds, "being happy" is having more things, better house, newer car and clothes than their friends. There is this never-ending, fierce competition for more money between the Polish People. They are extremely competitive in this field. Other than that, they're never happy.

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]


That's not what I had in mind. I was thinking of the boater women, fresh from the Old Country. These are the gold diggers here.

Americanized Polish women are more like the local girls - more independent, more confident about themselves, they learn how to enjoy themselves and how to be happy with what they really are; as oppose to showing off the material things to their friends in the “I got more then you do" competition.

Life / Poles are not racist [873]


Here is the answer to your question in a nut shell. Thank you Gregorz and the others for making the things clear to us :) Just in case, if anyone thought that Polish are not racist...

BTW, I think that gregorz is an different kind of racist. He is an educated young man and not your typical toothless white trash redneck, such us you could find them in Canada or US. That in my opinion makes the Polish racist way more sinister and dangerous then in the rest of the world.

Polish hip-hop is an oxymoron. It's like Icelandic reggae, African punk-rock, Chinese country'n'western lol

No, the paczki day was a month ago, not today! I remember the chef at work always makes some paczkis for everybody (or maybe they just buy'em?) :)

R u a chef, Shawn? Is the Paczki Day in the beginning of January or at the end? U should know that.

OK I got it. It looks like the Paczki Day is celebrated on Fat Tuesday or Fat Thursday (two different things) depending on the location: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paczki


That is interesting. I never knew that.

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

Why is there so much fuss about it?
Poland is an Eastern European Country as far as the political and historical background goes. There is NOBODY in the world, I assure you who will hear the word "Poland" and will say to him/her-self: "Oh yeah, Poland is in CENTRAL Europe". No! They'll think of a former Soviet Satellite, Warsaw Pact, etc; EASTERN EUROPE.

That's the way it is and no matter how much some of you want to deny it, it's better to get used to it and work with it.

Trust me, I understand the reasoning behind your thinking and I simpathise, but it is what it is - Eastern Europe.

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


I second that motion.
Or we could call it Western Asia or Nothern Africa.

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]


And you believe'em??? I bet you they're lying half the time. This would mean that Poles lie about 1/4 of times.
Oh, wait - I'm a Pole too, so I've just told a half truth, which means that Poles lie about 1/8 of times!

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

To many people are getting hanged up on the semantics. It is what it is, no matter what you would like it to be. And it is an Eastern European Country. Now I understand the reason why you want to call it something else, there is a bad wrap attached to the name "Eastern European" (unfortunately) but it is up to us to make it something better and make POLAND it's own name brand and to make sure that people think about positive things when they hear the word 'POLAND'.

It is far more important how YOU carry yourself, how educated and successful are YOU in your life and carrier, what kind of job or business do YOU have now, are YOU a blue collar or white collar worker, do people look at YOU with respect. This is the way you build a good reputation for Poland and not by arguing endlessly about "is it East or Central". You need to start from yourself.

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

I would also say Belvedere or Chopin.
I think that Zubrowka sucks ass, but it is possible that I drank the "fake" Zubrowka, since the real one is outlawed in the USA because of the poisonous Bison Grass.


Aren't all top shelf vodkas made strictly out of wheat nowadays?
I did try Luxusowa, it was good but it had an aftertaste.

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

I have to taste potato vodka and grain vodka side-by-side one day, and see the difference for myself. It would be an interesting experiment.
And yeah, EbonyandBathory is right; it’s difficult to find Polish Vodka in the U.S. All you can get here is Absolute (Sweden), Grey Goose (France), Stoli (Russia).

Do young people celebrate March 8th, or is it remembered by the older generation only? I thought that was an old Communist celebration remembered only by the old folks?

Life / IS CHEATING ON EXAMS OK? (younger Poles don't think so) [30]


You could cheat on your exam too. Lets say that you've been with your exam for a long time now, and the physical attraction has faded away throughout the years. Furthermore, the excitement is gone, the chemistry is long gone, you shifted apart without even noticing, and you hardly even talk to one another anymore.

Suddenly, you meet a new exam. A much younger exam and a very, very attractive one. At first, you try hard not to think of doing something nottie with the new exam. But then the new exam tells you that she finds you very attractive also. Suddenly, one rainy afternoon after a two-martini lunch, you find yourself in a cheap motel room with the new exam, doing.... Well, anyways, this is how you cheat on an exam.
