Life / What can citizens do to make Poland a better place to live? [125]

What can the average Polander do to make P-Land a better place?

That’s easy: Retain the Polish identity and resist undue Western influence.

Like much of the world, the Poles I have met seem fascinated with all things American. Except the problem is that the vast majority of that influence is of the distorted, twisted, morally hollow view of America presented to them via twisted and morally hollow Hollywood and its notorious Liberal views.

Think of some of the threads here praising Polish women as being noticeably different and better than other women around the world. There is reason for that and it lies in tradition. Do not permit those traditions to be diluted or corrupted by corrupt Western influences.

The best thing about my Polish girl is that she has not been Westernized in this way. When I first met her I noticed this right away and this is in fact what made me fall for her so. I love her because she is Polish. This caused me to become interested in Polish culture and to explore it. I like what I have found.

Don’t let that unique cultural identity die.

With every immigrant that arrives and refuses to assimilate, and instead Polish culture is compromised to accommodate them, Polish cultural identity slips away a little bit more.

American culture has been suffering from all this “rich diversity” too.

We’re drowning in Liberalism over here, Seanus. Too much of a bad thing.

Life / What can citizens do to make Poland a better place to live? [125]


Yeah, we're coming to regret that some!

It’s about assimilation (where the newcomer adjusts to local custom and culture) -vs.- accommodation (where the host is expected to change to suit the newcomer), Seanus. Inevitably, the latter acts to change the host. This is in part why misguided social engineering schemes designed to increase "diversity" are such crap and end up serving to dilute a culture.

Do a lot of Polish girls really lie regularly? I have heard this now a few times.

Not mine. She was sweet and smart and funny and honest and honorable and above all, real –a natural beauty with no makeup and absolutely no airs! (This last bit is what I call un-Westernized.)

(sniff) I want her back!

Oh. So you’re one of them then, are you? Programming kids to the One World view.

How about instead of shoving all that appreciation for multiculturalism crap down the kids’ throats you instead just give them the facts about other cultures and let them decide how to think about it all for themselves?

Life / What can citizens do to make Poland a better place to live? [125]

Glad to hear it, Seanus.


That’s not what I said at all, Davey. How did you get this from that quote?
Maybe you are one of the intolerant PC folks who jumps to attack and label as “haters” all others who may not share your precise views?

There is great difference between mere exposure with expected tolerance and coerced embracement with celebration.

Life / What can citizens do to make Poland a better place to live? [125]

Again, you have seen no intolerance posted here by me, Davey. I am all for tolerance …minus the all too present Liberal coerced inflated value.

Maybe you missed this:


No hate there.

How about some tolerance from the PC tolerance pushers?
To me, brainwashing kids is worse than permitting even some unwashed ideas to run loose. Would you agree?

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [512]

I was born and still reside in America. Several years ago I met a lovely Polish girl who was visiting, working here for the summer. She was a natural beauty and best of all she was staring at me! I immediately fell for her sweet manner and loved that she was so genuine and had not been Westernized. I was taken like never before. We enjoyed wonderful visits together for the couple of weeks I knew her.

We discussed differences and similarities between Poland and America. Knowing nothing of Poland really, I conducted some quick online research to learn about Poland so I could impress her with my new knowledge. She was flattered that I showed such interest in her homeland and culture. Score!

At the end of the summer she left and returned to Poland. We had exchanged email addresses and she insisted we keep in touch. But due to an unforeseen email problem between here and Poland, we were unable to keep in contact and we hadn’t thought to exchange other contact information. I have tried everything I could to find and contact her. With the time that has passed she has likely moved on.

I don’t even have so much as a photograph of her.
Some nights I still cruise the internet, looking at things Polish and thinking of my lost Polish girl.
One of those nights I stumbled upon this board and my first post was in a thread about the very same cursed email problem that had kept her from me. After reading around some more, the people here seemed like a friendly bunch so I’ve stuck around, hoping to gain more insight into Polish people and their wonderfully unique cultural heritage, and maybe offer them a different take on America while I’m here.

Before her I’d never given Poland a second thought. Now it holds a soft spot inside of me. Because of her I find myself interested in learning about all things Polish, their history, culture, politics and geography. So, if I ever meet up with her again I will really be able to impress her now! I have never visited Poland but I hope to someday. I’m just waiting for the email to show up in my inbox inviting me.

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [512]

I know your words here are wise, Lexi. But it all has not been a total lost. The entire ordeal has served me with some valuable, if hard learned, life lessons that could be good for all to pay heed:

Exchange ALL contact information. Do not rely on one technology.
I have since purchased a small camera to keep in my car at all times to record the memories of life’s little unexpected pleasures when they arise.

Be certain to cherish what you have while you have it, for you never know when it could be fleeting even if it seems lasting.

Polish girls are yummy.
Find a reason to explore other cultures.
Hunt down and skin the guy who designed the Polish email server system.
Things of this nature.

Do men wearing skirts really turn Polish girls on? Do you sincerely find this to be hot PGTX??


Where did you meet your girl, Seanus? Were you drawn to her because she is Polish?

You speak of relationship dynamics. Is this, or have there been, what you feel to be cultural issues due to your different nationalities?


I asked you before if there were any considerations as far as citizenship in regard to where to have your planned baby born but I didn’t see your response. With P-Land in the EU are such concerns no longer valid? What would be your choice?

Not that’s it’s likely to happen anytime soon, I would probably insist my baby be born in America…


Yes, how do the Polish peeps feel about such things?


Now we are getting somewhere! These are the things we want to hear about!
I particularly like what you say about being impressed at his displayed effort! I would do the same thing to impress one Polish girl!

Someone on the board said that they were drawn to Polish girls abroad due to their lovely East-Euro accents. I know I find this accent to be the very loveliest I have ever heard! Maybe this has gotten the attention of others as well?

Thank you, Mrs. DRJ. Stick around. Maybe we could also hear what Mr. DRJ has to say about all this?

Thank you to all who have contributed so far.
But surely there are more Scots here than this. I am certain I’ve seen more on this board.
Show yourselves, male, plaid skirt-wearers and the Polish girls who love them!

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


I have researched some the rich history between the two lands, PolskaDoll. And there are a number of groups out there celebrating that historic connection today. But I am more interested in hearing of romantic interaction of today and the reasons for it. For instance, despite that history, this is not why Seanus selected his Polish girl. His seems more the natural result of geographic location, as do Mr. & Mrs. DRJ. Quite pragmatic. Whereas your interest maybe is more focused?

Please tell me more about your multiple daily varied contacts with a Polish man (men?). I assure you, it is only for scientific reasons that I ask. ;)

Is there anyone here who has consciously sought a member of the other culture? Anyone who is draw particularly to the other because of their differences?


What cultural issues were there that required bridging? How did your girl's parent feel about her bringing home a Scot? Come on, you know what I want here and why. Make with it!

Thank you for sharing, Danny. Is Danny a common Polish name? Maybe you descend from Scots yourself? Your written English of eight years seems fine to me. I would have loved to see you and the Mrs. trying to communicate on your first dates! I love your Polish-Scottish love story! I hope the two of you are very happy for many years and she gets her redheaded Polish babies. :)

There is no sweeter music to my ears than a Polish girl speaking slightly fractured English in her Polish accent. It is a sound the birds must envy. It does things to me that I will not write of here!




Does one see a lot of kilts worn in Poland?
I wish someone would explain to me this apparent fascination girls have to men in skirts. Is this interest just due to the mere novelty of it? The easy access? Some deep-seated perversion?

I myself do not own a skirt but I may have to get one if the Polish ladies like them so!
I think I saw a guy here who goes by the name KiltMaker. I may have to look him up.
How come he hasn't posted here yet?
And where is that guy who is living my life? He's the one I should be talking to!

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Thank you, JustsiaS. :)

You are Polish and your boy is Scot? You have come to the right place. Do tell!


Right. Geographic.


Which, if this were the case, could possibly suggest a certain affinity for Polish girls.


Oh, I well know it. I have said several times that one of the reasons I fell so for my Polish girl was that she was un-Westernized. And this is in fact a part of who she is.


To those of us who have had limited exposure, perhaps we possess an elevated appreciation for fine Polish sweeties. But one need not be some weirdo who only targets Polish girls in order to like Polish girls, even if it is part of the attraction. After all, it is still part of who they are as individuals, right?


Perhaps this is why you seem a tad annoyed with me.
Being of Scottish descent and having a healthy respect for that heritage, I claim an ancestral right to poke fun at men in dresses. This does not mean that I mean disrespect or hold them in some low regard. No, quite the contrary.

One of my ancestors was a Highlander. Somewhere around here I have an ancient photo of him in his full dress military garb. To his waist it looks like any other military uniform of the era, but from the waist down he’s wearing a skirt! Lol…

Men wearing kilts is quite unique. As with the Polish girls, surely you must appreciate the level of novelty in this for someone who is not exposed to it in their normal day-to-day life.

I have even researched and found my various family tartan setts. I may just send for an authentic Scottish kilt some day. They are very expensive. So no need to be touchy. :)

USA, Canada / WHAT IS THE US POLONIA LIKE? [42]

While the focus of the article on Polish people paying taxes here may at first seem odd, there may be good reason for it.

What one has to understand is that Philadelphia is for the most part inhabited by lazy minorities on the public dole sucking the system. There are more tax consumers than producers there, leading to a perpetual financial problem for the city. So at every chance they attempt to put on a good face for the city in an attempt to make it more attractive to investors and to draw new tax payers. (Rarely do you see mention of the high murder rate in the city.)

I suspect the tone of the article reflects the need to be tolerant of others –foreigners- (something our bitter and lazy minorities are not known for) because they bring with them financial benefit.

In other words, the article is saying “Be nice and welcoming to the Polish since they are hard working and are paying your taxes!”

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


I can only imagine!


Very good.


Thanks for sharing, Whyikit. Good luck with that. :)


Very well. I’d still like to hear more about all these commonalities and differences people keep mentioning without expanding on.
What sort of name –Scot or Pole- do you think you might give a child?


Is Daniel a Polish name?


So, now we have a Pole wearing a dress! :)


Very interesting.

DING! DING! DING!
I think we have our winner!...


Excellent, Twojdupa! How about that tyke’s name? Scot or Pole?


Nice girl. Geography. Very well.


There it is! I know what you mean!


Lol! Very good. Funny stuff.


Thank you for clearing this up. Again, I meant no offence.


I agree. I would never pretend to be something I am not. But we can still show reverence for our heritage.

Thank you very much for sharing your story here, Twojdupa. I love it. I wish you and your Polish wife and redhaired baby all the best.

Do they make infant kilts?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


A baby lifetime?

Real kilts from Scotland are very expensive. The one I was looking at was like $800.

And I would not put me nor my kid in a kilt with some generic sett pattern. It would have to be authentic.

Genealogy / Why Polish aren't white?? [272]

Race is always a complex issue because it is an ill-defined human construct and people confuse things like ethnicity and nationality and culture with race.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Anyone else?

So, no one here is themselves the child of a Scottish/ Polish union?

I’d still like to hear more about all these commonalities and differences between Scots and Poles people keep mentioning without expanding on.

Are there any Americans who got with a Pole here? I initially asked about Scots because of the Scottish presence on this board and the history between the two. Also, there are already threats about Americans and Pole. But I would love to hear from Americans in this situation too!

How about it, any Americans getting on with a polished Polish princess?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

:D

Tell us more!

What is this??


What a name! Maybe it is good they have name rules! Lol...


:) I think you are both lucky.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Must one submit a name for approval before the child can be named? Who decides? Is there a list of approved names?
I see how this could lead to things like ethnic discrimination.
Why are people so intent on controlling others even in things of little consequence?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]



Ah yes, more manipulating children’s minds with the coerced celebration of diversity and multiculturalism.


I have never found any luck using that feature.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

How about this: Instead of programming them with all this manipulative BS, we instead just teach kids about other cultures and tell them to be nice to everyone and leave it at that, and let them make up their own minds what and how to think of others.

Maybe she is even smarter than I thought.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


I am sure the aims of the school are good. Even if they have been coerced by the grants standards enforced. Money influences everything, often not for the better.

I am not some intolerant jerk. I am just against telling kids what to think. Teach them facts and let them figure out on their own how and what to think about it. Of course those facts would include that the world is a better place if everyone shows tolerance and acceptance of others so everyone can get along -but don’t coerce it.

While at the same time there are very good examples across societies that have struggled greatly under all this engineered “rich diversity”. So it is not settled science by any means. Maybe those taught facts should include this information? But I am doubting the grant underwriters would approve of kids being taught such facts.

You make a good point about willful indoctrination, Seanus. But there is great difference between willful and unwitting. The latter seems almost criminal to me. It’s just not right, even if the intent is good.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


What is this RCC?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Very well, Shawn. But the Hamas/ Israel thing is also a good example of groups that just can’t seem to get along and should probably stay separated. I would say this is a fact, considering how long they have been going at it. Lol…


Oh of course. My bad. I thought maybe he was speaking of some government body of which I was unfamiliar.


Do you feel any resentment for foreigners taking up the crop of Polish girls?
