Love / Problem with my Polish boyfriend [74]

actually im going to disagree.. i dont think he is cheating on me. he is not like that.
we have made plans for next year and they are going to happen.

Then you have nothing to worry about. Why are you worrying? You'll be with him again in February. You have a future together. Right?

News / Poland fines singer for bashing Bible [159]

"because it's hard to believe in something that was written by someone drunk on wine and smoking some herbs."

Does she write her own music? Because people sometimes see in others what they see in themselves.

USA, Canada / Can you BE Polish without SPEAKING Polish in the US? [256]

It's weird you mention Apaches.

Why would your wife think someone is Native American based on the way he or she looked? It's like saying that you have to speak Polish in order to be Polish but you can be Native American if you just look a certain way. That kind of logic doesn't make sense.

USA, Canada / Can you BE Polish without SPEAKING Polish in the US? [256]

She was/is CONVINCED. I mean, the girl was short, had coal black eyes and hair, and her hair was in two short braids. ::Shrugs::

But that would be like admitting that there's such a thing as an ancestry or a race regardless of what language someone speaks. If it's possible for a woman to be Native American whether she speaks a Native language or not and whether she lives on an Indian Reservation or not, then it has to be possible for someone to be Polish or to have Polish ancestry regardless of what they speak or where they live.

I mean, genes do get passed down through the generations. I can sometimes guess where someone's parents or ancestors came from because of the way they look and I'll find that I'm right. It has nothing to do with the language they speak.

However they didn't run from their homeland. America is theirs, NOT just the reservations.

What about those that did run from their homeland during the wars? It happened a lot more than you might know. Are they no longer Native Americans because they live a few miles across the border?

I've known Native Americans who went to Europe in the military and they and their children (who are born there) are considered American Indians over there. They all get together in Europe. Try telling them that they're no longer Native Americans and see what happens. haha.

People readily accept that there are genetic ties between certain groups like Native Americans or African Americans or Latin Americans but when it comes to Poland, the idea is rejected.

Hear hear shewolf!One should note that the starter of this thread was convinced by Plastic Pole's answer that yes it is indeed possible to be Polish without speaking Polish:

Oh. I thought he was talking about his wife, that she's the one that believes that way.

Love / My Girlfriends Decisions! Am I overreacting? British guy with Polish girlfriend. [11]

They drink, fight, and certainly resist arrest. They are just very 'male' - too male. So I don't think he is particularly dangerous - probably not at all - he just gets into fights too easily.

It took 10 policemen to arrest him and they needed to use pepper spray to restrain him. He was ordered not to go near his girlfriend who he had assaulted five times. That's just being very male? Really? Wow. That's surprising.

Love / Dating a Polish man - how to impress his mother? [51]

i spoke to mike this morning before he left for work i told him that when they visit he needs to address any negative comments because it will mean nothing coming from me or his father and his silence gives consent for her to continue. He says he just hopes if we ignore it she will stop but i told him that isn't good enough and that maybe if he gets across how important and valuable i am to him she may see some of my value.

It's a mistake to speak poorly of his mother and ask him to straighten her out. The only thing you're going to accomplish is to create tension between you and him, and it will eventually drive him away.

My advice is to leave it alone. She doesn't live with you. You don't have to see her everyday. He loves you. He wants to ignore her comments. Why don't you ignore them, too? Seriously, leave it alone.

Love / How do I tell her how I feel? Working with a Polish woman. [24]

Don't feel bad, brumdave. She probably knew she was going to leave and that's why she kept her distance. Just tell her you're sorry that she's leaving and that you wish you could have known her better. Ask her if you can call her or write to her when she's gone.
