History / Poland - problem for Germany? (historically continual hostility of German state on Poland) [154]
If history tends to repeat itself, like the saying goes, then of course Germans will pose a problem for Poland (they're already ******** about shale gas). This is why Poland needs the USA. Just like west Germany needed the USA after WW2 to help it get back on its feet. But don't forget that Poland used to have one of the largest kingdoms in Europe. Poland will not have another kingdom, but if history repeats itself, then Poland will become a major player in Europe once more. And around the corner will be the scary Germans, desperate for attention.

I'm Polish and living in Canada. I've met a few Frenchies here right from France. They seemed nice. It appears that the Poles and French have warm ties. Heck, one guy was even a fan of Kieslowski.

Food / Origin of the pierogi [118]
Let's get some facts straightened out.
A lot of cultures have a "pierogi" type delicacy. Italians have ravioli, Chinks have dumplings (which come fried by the way and pierogi's are not traditionally fried) and Poles and Ukrainians have the pierogi.
In Canada, where I live, pierogi's have been made popular by Poles and Ukrainians when they were coming here a hundred years ago. Toronto has more Polish delicatessens than the Ukrainians and they are readily available for sale here.
In America, the Poles are the biggest by far eastern European group and are attributed to them almost exclusively.
I did some research a while back and found out that pierogi's can be traced to the Polish/Ukrainian lands.

Polish guy in Canada here: I kind of cringe at Polish biatches with dark guys because I don't find dark women attractive so then the dating pool gets smaller and smaller. Is the trade off fair for white men? No.
I believe people will have the least problems in relationships and marriages when they are with a partner from the same/similar culture and religion. This is proven time and time again- especially in multi-culti societies. Poles are smart for being cautious.
Polish girl+dark guy= AIDS for her :)

Poland poor? No way. Unfortunately Poles are their own worst enemy and the champions of complaining. I wish this dies out one day. Be positive like Italians.
Poland is not very cold. Keep in mind this is winter time but in Russia and Canada it is muuuch colder. Last weekend Toronto had Arctic weather for a few days. It was -33.
I want to move to Poland. In fact I'll be there for 17 days, from late May to early June.

You're British. You have the worst food in the world. Anyone want a potato sandwich? How can you generalize all restaurants in Poland as crap? Polish food is more real than any food in the west. Another thing, "bland", natural food is usually the best for you because it doesn't have preservatives and artificial sweetening, among other things. You can't compare limey bread with Polish bread.
To another post about credit: credit is the biggest scam in the world and should be more regulated. If you're proud of your quality of life in having access to all the credit in the world then you can just dig your own grave. Why do you think the west is in such shambles? PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT. Not gonna waste more energy on this.
No need for personal attacks
Restaurants are crap in Poland, but again thats not the people.

Mostly everyone has enough to eat and even the lower class homes all have cars, color TVs and computers and video games, etc. "America, where our 'poor' are fat"

@Sokrates
Can you give me an example of Poland being f'ucked by Germany in the last 20 years? I mean, progress has been good for Poland. We have to work together. Besides, didn't Poland handle the recession well because they were more self reliant (Poles were encouraged to buy Polish products, as an example)? Germany is very export oriented. They need Poland to do well, it's in their interest. The only country Poland should worry about is Russia since they know nothing about business. Am I wrong people?

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [74]
From what I know about him: He's a Hungarian Jew who immigrated to the USA as a youngster. His mother was from Bratislava and his father from Uzhgorod (Ukraine I think). I have his book, "The Next 100 Years". I think he genuinely wants Central Europe to do well, especially Poland. He believes with American military aid Poland can achieve great things. He believes Russia will become unstable and break up even more. I don't know how realistic this is at the moment. He has analyzed how much Europe has changed since the year 1900 (20 years by 20 years and so on to the year 2000) and promotes the idea of "expect the unexpected". He is definitely a person that thinks outside the box.
Sometimes I think he talks wishful thinking, seriously.

I like Friedman actually. He says good things about Poland sometimes but he is a bit of a fear monger. I thought the article was interesting although I don't like how he believes Poland only had a horse cavalry at their disposal during the war. Very simplistic comment from him.
I kind of agree that you can't help a country militarily if it can't even help itself. Poland's gotta nuke up I think eventually. Remember who the neighbors are.
Do you guys think it's true that the Northern European plain will never truly be a place of perpetual peace (as he claims)?

History / POLES NOT KEEN ON REPRODUCING? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GERMANS AND RUSSIANS? [67]
Serious question. Historically have there always been more Russians and Germans then Poles? It wouldn't be fair to blame wars and such on the population differences because along with Poland, Germany also lost a few million of it's men and women and so has Russia. We can't blame immigration because historically more Germans have been accepted to North America then Poles- not to mention Russians. I'm beginning to think Poles are not too keen on reproducing. Poles like to think themselves as more family oriented than Germans but at the end of the day there is only 38.5 million Poles and around 82 million Germans. Russia stands at 140 million people.
Will the Poles die out eventually?

When they show a demographic census in Canada for example you see "Russian and/or Eastern European". Historically and statistically there have always been more Poles in Canada than Russians. Poles and Ukrainians are the two biggest Eastern European groups. Are Russians more important? Eastern Europeans are all not the same!
