Love / Good looking Polish women with ugly men [416]

I have travelled to Poland many times, and have been to many parts of the country.

Ahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaa- I'm a Polish guy and complain about this all the time. I'm a handsome Polish guy and wonder the same thing. It could be how the womens tastes have developed in Poland over the centuries. I think a lot of Eastern European women actually date somewhat ugly guys. Mediteraneans seem to take care of themselves more.

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?

History / Are Poles happy with the current Polish borders? [134]

because you kicked all the Germans out. Homogenous is not good since it causes inbred characteristics such as stupidity among other things, it is better to have a variety of genes. Look at the USA.

But Americans are the dumbest people in the world.

Language / The Future of Polish Language [179]

Therefore, Polish indeed has a future, a long and healthy one no doubt-:)

I don't know about that. There's this Polish b'itch in my house who's been studying abroad for 2 years only and refuses to speak Polish to me. Says it's easier to speak in English. Can you believe this s'hit? She speaks great in English so it's not like she needs to practice. But I feel like I need to practice my Polish. Do you see my problem? Gonna have to slap that b'itch sometime. Knock some sense into her.

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

Merged thread:
POLES BUNCHED TOGETHER AS "EASTERN EUROPEANS"

Why are Poles bunched in together as Eastern Europeans and Russians usually get their own category? 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!

News / POLISH ART is not well represented in the West (especially in the US). Why? [25]

One question: why is Polish art not very well represented in the West? Especially in N.America. There's too much emphasis on Anglo, French, Dutch and German artists (photographers and painters). Is it a form of discrimination? I think it might be.

Separate issue- if one wants to go into the photography business in Poland, is it easy? I would love to contribute something to Polish art culture.

News / WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER? [197]

4. That, my mathematically inept friend, means that at the same rates of shrinking
(5% for Italy) and growth (1.6% for Poland), in 14 years Poland would have larger
economy than Italy.

Brilliant!

Olive oil, pasta and designer suits can only get you so far I guess.

it'll never have the dominance of the "big 4" in the EU

Why would you say that?? I can see Poland having just as much influence one day as Italy. Just give it time.

News / WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER? [197]

Some say that America's culturally WASPified and financially largely Jewish controlled media are responsible for Poland's poor PR image. Maybe Poles themselves are to blame for not being assertive enough. They are often at each others throats but towards foreigners or the host society as émigrés they tend to be meek, mild, complaisant and try to melt into the woodwork rather than stand up for their rights.

You make some good points here and I have to agree with a lot of it. Poles are too passive. They're shy about speaking Polish in public when you have Chinese, Hispanics, Indians, Germans etc. yapping in their languages. I don't understand why? I have witnessed this and it bothers me. I'm the opposite but I'm in the minority. Truth be told I think Poles overseas are weak with no political power. They simply s'uck at it. The best Poles I think have stayed in Poland. And again this has a co-relation to Polish history. Being allies with other nations and helping them, only to be stomped on and oppressed. Seems like todays Poles have been psychologically weakened and oppress themselves, which is very strange. Sad really. But I'm glad I am not like this!

Life / Weather in Poland - some explanations [30]

I live in Canada and the whole world thinks we live in igloos. In fact Poland's weather is very comparable to where I live in southern Ontario. The weather in Poland gets cold around mid-November and may last until April. Just like in Canada. Overall I think central Europe has much better weather than the British Isles.

News / 30 to 40 thousand abortions by Polish girls in foreign countries [142]

If this is true then here's some wisdom from me:

1) if you're gonna open your legs to some piece of s'hit then expect the consequences. Or just use a condom!

2) this is the beginning of the end. A too liberal society breeds immorality and decadence. Too many abortions is not good for the growth of a country. Try not having so many abortions!

3) Polish b'itches should be more responsible. Just keep the kids! I thought Poles were supposed to be family oriented!

Life / Poland's population predictions [59]

I will make a prediction that in the next decade or so a lot of Poles will return to Poland to start up business and work. I don't see Poland becoming a refugee country. America, Canada and the UK are not that great anymore.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]

Though Poland has never shown any interest in having them and opposition within the country would be widespread.

Why do you think there would be widespread opposition? What if Polands existance once again was threatened? Like it or not I think Russia in some ways is Polands biggest enemy even today. I think as Poland gets wealthier they should try and acquire nukes eventually.

News / SHOULD POLAND HAVE NUKES?? [154]

Let's discuss this. Should Poland have them considering its history? Not to cause trouble but just to say they have them. Poland is safe now but with a country like Russia you never know.

UK, Ireland / The more subtle differences: Ireland/Britain v Poland [310]

Some years ago I shared apartment with the one young British couple. They had a habit of sleeping naked with their bedroom door open, and they'd sleep until noon. This was very unusual for me, just too much information. Thank g-d, it was only for a week.

F'ucking weirdos. I hear Austrians are similar.

USA, Canada / EMPIRE STATE BUILDING IN NYC DISRESPECTS POLISH AMERICANS! [88]

The New York metropolitan area contains the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia

The 3.37 million WOP community is spread out over the NYC metro area which has around 19 million people! It's also called the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut). The top 5 European communities in NYC are:

Italian: 8.2%
Irish: 5.2%
German: 3.4%
Russian: 3.0%
Polish: 2.7%

In New York City- Italian (692,739), German (255,536), Irish (420,810), Polish (213,447). So the Polish community is not really all that smaller then the German community. Germans had their colors lit up in late September. The Jewish community in metro NYC is 1.97 million. The borough of Brooklyn has 456,000 Jews and Manhattan 243,000 Jews, confirming the fact that Jews rule NYC. Indeed Jews and Irish seem to do well in politics.

The bottom line is NYC metro area has the second largest Polish community in America.

New York is home to a number of Polish and Polish-American cultural, community, and scientific institutions, including the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America (PIASA) and the Polish Cultural Institute. Polish-language publications with circulation reaching outside the city include The Polish Review, an English-language scholarly journal published since 1956 by PIASA; Nowy Dziennik [1], founded in 1971, considered the leading Polish-language daily newspaper in the U.S.; and Polska Gazeta [2], a Polish-language daily newspaper with headquarters in Brooklyn. The Polish Newspaper SuperExpress [3], covering New York, New Jersey & Connecticut started publication in 1996.

USA, Canada / EMPIRE STATE BUILDING IN NYC DISRESPECTS POLISH AMERICANS! [88]

I wonder what would happen if they didn't turn on the colors for the Italians on Columbus Day? I guess the Polish community is not so important in New York. I still think this is somewhat political. A huge snub to the old Polish community that help build America.

Empire State Building disses another group after rejecting Poles' request to honor hero Gen. Pulaski.
Furious Polish-Americans say the Empire State Building is giving one of their Revolutionary War heroes the Mother Teresa treatment.

They claim their request to honor Gen. Casimir Pulaski tonight by lighting the tower in the Polish colors of white and red was shot down without explanation.

nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/10/02/2010-10-02_a_pole_lot_of_anger_at_empire_light_snub.html

Is this true discrimination? I think it is. It should be noted that the owner of the Empire State Building is a Jew.
