Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]


considering all the possible things that could have happened, word of mouth
that they will not be accepted so easy might be the reasons why,, media
all the polish who already came and experienced some bad things, yes, if they
seem to be a little rude, maybe they have good reason..

what I would do , first and formost is maybe make a nice cookie plate, or something
to that nature and introduce yourselfs and welcome them into the neighborhood.

of course they will feel uncomfortable moving to a new country, and maybe they
dont know they are doing something that makes you upset.. communication works
:) really it does :)))

if they still are doing it, then you would have a good reason to accuse your neighbors
not the whole polish nation of being rude..

but I would try a little kindness first, see what happens :)

maybe she is outside guarding her driveway :)

chuckle chuckle snort snort :)) LOL sorry had to say that..

go ahead daisy say it.. Patrycja You are bad!!!


* does double take at Puzzy*!!!

Thanks , that was very nice of you to say..

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

well it sounds like they just want to justify their inner thoughts and have a good
reason to be hateful towards their neighbors by asking if this is a common trait
among polish people..

anyone can be rude,, especially if you rub emm the wrong way.

but i agree with you, if she was so worried about it, she would have come back
to check and see who posted and make or form her own opinion by it, but it
sounds like she already has formed a opinion of her neighbors.. thats just sad..

first of all, when a fence is put up, its both sides who pay for it.. least that is how
it is here, the property line is in the middle, so therefore both parties have to pay
for it, so it is both sides fence..so yes, there could be a misunderstanding on
who it belongs too. if they actually put the fence up and payed for the whole
thing then yes she has a right to be upset, why isnt she asking what they are doing?

why come on a polish forum asking people if this is a trait of polish people? did she
not have enough common sense to walk over and just ask???

then she complains again about parking over the driveway, well, first of all
we are hearing only her side, maybe she did something to p*zz them off so
they are repaying the favor? now she is at a loss for words so she runs to the
intranet to ask why why why?? comon, if you dont have enough guts to walk
over and say, excuse me, My name is so and so, I live next door, I am your new
neighbor and etc etc etc.. make small talk , bring up the fact that the car is over
the driveway, maybe they only did if for a few mins and she's just being
to over-reacting.. we only are hearing one side!

and for me, I am not convinced that they are as rude as she says,, that can go
both ways..

what I find really akward is that, she says they took down the fence, so why didnt
she call the police? isnt that destruction of property ? so therefore,, the fence
was probably there before and put up a long time ago by the previous owners
and so it was both parties.. yes they should have notified her, but seeing that
they are new, they probably dont know the homeowners policys yet..

isnt that different then polands?

I give this post a A +

so true.. and we should be letting older folks go first.. no matter what
nationality they are.. standing in a long line might be hard on them for one..
getting up from a seat way in the back might be extra hard because they cant
get up as fast.. and everything hurts..

and did anyone even think that someone might be cranky because of this??
if every bone in you body ached, and you had to travel to the store cause
your alone , try walking a few feet with shoes that not even comfortable and
or your hands are crippled up and aching so carrying heavy items also hurts

they deserve to be cranky!! they been thru it all and then some!!

when i say this phrase, I mean it.. I work in a hospital where I deal with 12 patients
a night, and some of them have pain going on, some have family issues. to say
how are you or how are you feeling is being respectful towards people.. and it gives
then oppertunity to open up and tell you so that maybe you can help.

I agree some might take it to extreme, if its because they dont know any better
its not for you to call this phrase stupid when its opening up a conversation which
someone might want the ice broken.. maybe they have things they might want to
talk about but cant open up or dont know how to open this conversation because
they feel silly!

why would someone even question this?

if you ask, how are you, the person responds horrible, I cant sleep I cant eat etc etc
would you say, wow, sorry I asked, or would you be a friend to this person whom
you dont know and tell them some advice, perhaps give them a boost, maybe
they are depressed..

if everyone thought that way, what would this world be like, would we walk by
strangers in need and never help??

maybe I am being over protective.. but you have to see things more then one way
otherwise your whole life you will be annoyed at silly things that really to me is
a waste of time. :)

and also I think you were more annoyed at the American then the phrase..
thats what you should think about too.. this could be you in a strange country

you were trying to make a mod look bad.. daffy is not a bad person and was
picked because he is so sensible..

I am loyal to polish. I have no doubts about my loyality, but I cant say that
bad things dont happen, they do, for everyone.

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]


how.. nothing can take polands identity away lef.. even if they put ten new stores
up. poland will always be poland..

I can see your point about certain things, but poland needs to grow, she is behind
in alot of things thats why her economy is so bad.. thats why people left to work
in better jobs.. she needs a face lift.. do you really think people will let go
of their culture.. stop going to church and teaching values?


and to add to this, even in America the Polish culture is strong, chicago being
one of the most populated areas.. they still wear folk dress and dances and
food and fun and its not going anywhere lef, especially in the strongest place its
originated from..

I was out shoppin last friday ,and a lady in a rascal who had hard time getting up just out of the blue stopped me as I was shopping and said young lady can you get me two boxes of cereal, if I get up, I cant get back on this very well..

I said sure,, no problem :) thus my good deed for the day.. even though I became cranky waiting in a long line to pay for my groceries..so I was the cranky pants that day,, but with good reasons.. it was hot, I hadnt been home in hours. and its my female right!!!

so to be honest.. we all have a bit of rude and cranky pants living inside of us.. it just depends on the day /and or mood your in and how much sleep deprivation too :))

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]

other muslim countries are not very respected either.. and they been at war
since war became a word.. centuries..

Least the turks helped Poland when help was needed..

the way I see it.. who cares if other muslim countries dont respect you. it isnt like
other muslim countries respect a whole lot to begin with unless its in their own
territory .. ( speaking of govt ) and leaders.. etc.

Lets leave the regular People out of it.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]


oh king, why, why must you make me repeat..


didnt you read that? I said govt..

re-read.


He asked you what you think,, is that your answer?
or are you answering for the whole muslim nation?

your answer is pretty general too..

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]


you had contact with a select few.. and if ya ask me.. alot of Men
from any country, just name it.. like to drink and find themselfs..

if you were to go to a country ( theirs) of course. and they had a custom
which they *example* take a shot glass and put it on their nose and light
it on fire.. and it was something they did as say initiation into some type
of manhood thing.. then yes.. I could find agreement in your post.

but.. ya only ran across a few .. even I cannot make comments on whats
customary or not. because really I dont know. but. like i said. what I know
is that they did jump in and help poland.. thats deserving of respect in my eyes.


I can agree with this to a point..

Tell us how Turkish feel about Polish :)

actually how do they feel about other countries..

I know it isnt customary to put a shot glass on your nose and light it on fire
that was a Example.. just to prove a point.. but is there something similar
to what King says about men * finding themselfs* ?

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]


yes.. maybe thats what bothers so many others..Independence

how does Turkish feel about America? Americans are alot of nationalities
living for freedom.. independence.. you can be truthful..

*covers eyes* lol
