It has nothing to do with whether Poles have noticed there is a disaster or not. An official declaration of the state of emergency would automatically suspend the elections and many think this would make sense, as people have a few more things on their minds than the elections.

As for the topic of the thread, it is too narrowed down. It should be "why do Americans hate all people?"

Sadly, you appear dumb.

My sister lives in Poland, just finished a conversation with her a couple of minutes ago and she said: "chory narod" when commenting on the current situation in the south.

Stan kleski zywiolowej nie zoastal ogloszony poniewaz to nie pasuje politykom, ktorzy startuja do wyborow prezydenckich

So if there are a couple of people who happen to be Americans/Canadians who have some opinions about Poles is irrelevant at the moment and you should be helping your Polish folks instead of wasting time on the internet, no?

some gorale are polish, some are slovakian.. and that is that. ever hear of Janosik? he surely wasn't polish goral.

does PL still have a border dispute with Slovakia or has that been resolved?

still not magyars..

how could it.. they aren't magyars, they are slavs.

Ahh you want me to shut my mouth up.. on a free forum?

I would argue against your assertion. Russians don't consider themselves on a level with Poles, Czechs or Slovakians. Mostly to them.. those nations are their "little brothers". They are seen in the pejorative.

Yeah.. they were pretty ardent Nazi sympathizers.. so were their cousins the Czechs to a degree. Slovaks wanted to get rid of their gypsies, etc.

how could it.. they aren't magyars, they are slavs.

As for Jewish names, "Polak", "Cohen" and "Grunberg" are the most common Jewish last names in NL.

Mariola is a different name

marihuana

for some reason assumed to be Poles which results in lurkers and newcomers wondering wtf is wrong with the Poles and their 'obsession' with Jews.

BUT NOW SHE HAS CHANGED SHE JUST SAYS HELLO AND DONT SMILE AND REALLY DONT WANT TO TALK. WOULD IT BE A GOOD IDEA TO BUY A GIFT TO SAY SORRY OR SHOULD I JUST LEAVE IT CAN ANYONE HELP

I feel like running for President myself!!

And Poland is again getting her nose rubbed in it. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Potatoes are eaten with parsley in Poland.

She calls it 'maggie' but doesn't really know the real name of it. It has a bit of a celery smell to it but it is not celeriac.

Przemos gurl: I did not have fun in Poland & will never go back. Being that I am only allowed in Europe for 90's out of a 180 day period,

Przemos gurl: Now I have to wait until July to go back to Europe & Im sad that I did not enjoy myself while I was there. Przemek was very upset that I did not like his country,.........

.......I like more glamorous & upscale vacation spots. Like Paris, Rome, Fiji etc. Even New York is more up my ally.

Przemos gurl: The reason I am reposting is to let anyone who reads this know that i did not feel that people in Poland were racist

Przemos gurl: People do stare and its very unsettling. At first i felt uncomfortable even going anywhere at all because i didnt want to be gawked & gaped at. The only people that were not staring were little kids, to them I was just another person. The staring was so bad that Przemek even was uncomfortable.

Przemos gurl: It was all just of poor quality. Everything was even the food at grocery stores. I had to go to Germany to buy good food.

Przemos gurl: On a positive note I did get to try some Polish food that I loved. Perogi (?) was my favorite - Russian Perogi. Then I had some pancake things that had like onions or something in it that I loved and that soup with the bits of egg in it? Loved it:)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has the names of his brother, sister and mum it would be a great help.

his father was called Josef Urbański.

I don't really know what you mean by that,

Do Polish people have a temper?

And Kijiw is thought to come from a word "kyj", which means a "spear".

Zaporoże (you may translate as "such a dam!" or "together as a dam!")

Zaporizhya means "behind the river barriers", nothing of "together" or "such a dam".
