News / The best Poland ever? [125]

There are 51 million Germans in teh US RIGHT NOW

No...there are 51 million people who claim AT LEAST partial German ancestry of some sort, and according to the census bureau some ethnic numbers are estimated by censuses completed by an accurate majority. This comes as no surprise as Germans were among some of the first ethnic groups to come to America along with the British and French.

This might make BB giggle, but I remember a US History professor telling me that back in the very early 1800's there was a constitutional vote on whether the official language of America should be German or English and English won by only a slighter majority.

UK, Ireland / Poles top the UK's EU crime figures [78]

Bloody hell..... so let me guess the top countries. Poles are doing their usual hassling, the Romanian romas are spurring up things with their outcasted culture, the Irish are getting into bar fights, and the French are coming to the UK as sex-tourists.

USA, Canada / Polish Americans and religion [28]

moral attributes

I think a lot of morals come with that tradition Lodz, and that the Catholic Church in Poland hold a higher moral standard that in other places throughout the world

USA, Canada / Polish Americans and religion [28]

Welp, out of the hundreds of Polish-American I've met, maybe one or two considered themselves atheistic/agnostic.... not trying to imply anything, but that's my unbiased view.

Life / How to survive with one dollar in Poland [16]

Get a job.

Wrong phrase for this nut...

Is it?

Let's see.... he could be a pimp, gigolo, male stripper, gold-digger, or as has become famous in Japan: a call-boy that gets paid for hanging around ugly old women and telling them they're beautiful while offering the occasional sex.

It was prefereble to sleeping with the owner. ;)
I ended up running that studio, anyway.

Good to hear :-) My parents share similar stories being immigrants themselves...always makes me wonder how many people my age can mope around so much living in nice big houses with their parents.

News / Poles -- Europe's very best? [21]

Poles apparently regard thermselves as Europe's most attractive people who have the best food and can hold their booze better than others. Do you agree?

The women? But of course! The men? Average-looking.... (don't mean to generalize). Polish food is nice, but you'd have to be a retard to say it's better than Italian or French food in terms of being the best; I wouldn't say Polish food is even among the international best. As for booze, I'd say the Irish tend to be more drunks than Poles, but then again Poles are greater heavy-liquor drinkers, but not as much as the Russians in my opinion.

Haha look at one guys comment on the article page:

British Self-depreciation.

If we thought we were good at things then we simply wouldn't be British.

News / 9 year old Polish girl and 10 year old brother killed by World War II bomb [46]

Of course money will never equal human life, but in our overtly capitalist world...you'd be surprised. What I'm saying is that it's wrong to judge modern Germans for something past generations did, especially when they're working so hard giving their taxes to bailing out other European countries.

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

They are not cooked in oil like french fries, fried chicken or chimichanga but how would he know that when he grew up on that kind of diet, they are boiled in water that’s the cooking method.

Well mine were, and if you don't believe me, visit every restaurant in Gdansk to find the one I ran into. Also I have a very healthy diet, the fact that I don't like oil obviously means I don't like those kinds of foods you mentioned. So hypocritical you are lol, first you say I should observe my mom properly cooking pierogi which weren't in oil, then you say I grew up with a fried diet. Oh brother, I make a few word comment and you write a manifesto haha.

lol for crying out loud, take an anger management course. If you can read I said There are SOME restaurants, not all or even the majority. All countries in the world have cheap and bad restaurants and I have had the misfortune of eating pierogies like that, which is why I wasn't used to them since I've been eating them ever since I was a child. Also I know butter can be used to cook them, but the ones I got were ridiculously greased in layers of OIL. haha, I can't believe someone is actually pissed at me for this; you should write a scholarly thesis on how to properly cook pierogi.

and they made them in a deep fryer, not the way I like them

exactly my point

Polonia / Poland and France cultures are similar [112]

I'm 12.5% french on the greek side if that matters, but I gotta say, many French people in France I've met are complete asses, aside from French Canadians whom are really really nice from those I've met.

Polonia / Poles fleeing from Greece [14]

Hmm, that's the first time I saw that info. Not that I particularly like her but she's known in Canada.

I should be on that list but I'm not a famous Greek-Pole :-(

Some of them stayed in Greece but 50,000 seems very high number to me

Well 50,000 seems to be visas and citizens. Italy, Spain, Greece are around the 50,000's I believe. When you consider Greece's population that's nearing 15 million and only a little over 11 million that consider themselves ethnic Greeks, it doesn't really seem that high. I know for a fact though that Ukrainians outnumber the Poles in Greece, something about the Orthodox connection.

Saying Greek men are gay is like saying Polish men have low IQ's.... both stupid stereotypes.

UK, Ireland / Poles in Ireland by Peadar de Burca. They "turned their backs on a country that gave them" [195]

lol so much for Polish-Irish relations. I once had heard tales from some Italians who told me of all the problems Irish people caused in their country. They regarded you guys as lower IQ'ed individuals whom were culture-less and irresponsible drunks compared to Italians or the British whom the Irish apparently stole culture from. It's almost like a caste system with racist people, it's so primitive minded.

Love / In 2009 nearly 4000 Poles married a foreigner [170]

No, I have seen turks and it is not exactly the turkish look

Yes, they are mixed.

an a mix ever look the same as one of the contributor of the gene? Not at all. They look MIX, something different, a new breed. That is what I think Spaniards and Italians look mostly, also the Greek.

Yes, all those countries are mixed despite some claims by foolish nationalists there to being genetically pure states.

Turks too, also Arabs, Persians (alot) not to mention Egyptian from early history according to ancient relics found in pyramids.

What are you smoking Lodz? When did Arabs and Persians ever have mixing periods in Greece??? Turks are by afar not Persian or Arabic. The Greeks and Macedonians did a spectacular job defeating and keeping the Persians and Arabs out of the Balkans, to say else-wise is ludicrous. The only arabic blood I see is in Sicily where they mixed with moors and Crete where there was mixing with lebanese. Genetic tests have shown the majority of Greeks are an admixture of Albainains, Slavs, Greek, Macedonian, Vlach and even Germanic (don't know how that got in there).

Also I hate to say it but these Persians and Egyptians are from ancient times, I doubt you'll find at least a small minority of Greeks who are related to the ancients.

My guess is that the divorce procedures are initiated by Polki who go for the bigger boot

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it. Not me.

Yes this is true of Italian and Spanish women too. It pisses me off with Mediterranean women that they have this status quo and are all stuck up. If you think Polish women can be stuck up, trust me...you haven't been to Greece or Italy.
