History / Poland: Her heroes and her traitors [214]

befriended Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was the 16 th president of the U.S. He wasn't born until 1809. Tadeusz Kościuszko befriended the person who was to become the 1st president of the U.S. George Washington. Kosciuszko

was also buddies with Thomas Jefferson who became the 3rd president of the U.S.

nay He was a friend of Jefferson but not Washington !

He knew Washington who asked Kosciusko "what can you do for me" to which the reply was "try me........and you'll see". Washington later made sure that Kosciusko received several American honors for duties performed.

Kosciusko was close friends with Thomas Jefferson and the two shared political views, among other things. Kosciusko first became friends with Ben Franklin who recommended him to Washington.

Kosciusko initially reported to Gen. Gates and when he was relieved by Gen. Greene, Kosciusko worked with him and did most of his major works under Greene.

Love / Opinion from Polish men on this please (Polish men so 'spiritually' romantic?) [43]

So we're in love,

One month is too short a time. Wait until your first argument (which probably will be your fault). and see how that goes.

how super nice he's been treating me, I might just give in, omg!!!

That's the problem with some women; they 'feel' they're some sort of gift to men. Get over yourself.

I feel I can tell him anything under the sun and he will still have undying admiration for me just as well.

Try this; tell him you are a recovering prostitute and alcoholic and see how his "admiration" changes. My point is this; you are feeling the tingles now but wait until your relationship matures. Maybe you do have something wonderful going on but one month is just a blink of an eye.

he could also just be 'leading me on' to marriage to get me to bed ...

Again, get over yourself. If men talked like that then you'd see how ridiculous that sounds.
Now having given my harsh advice, I really do wish you the best of luck as all relationships need it. Just stop 'feeling' that you are the center of the universe. You're not and neither is he.

ZIMMY:

LOL...you sound like such a big girl!

Is that what you are looking for in a relationship; a "big girl"?

So if I call you a big boy that means I lowered myself to argue on your level........right?
Some advice; try to state something substantive for a change. If you work real hard at it you might be able to formulate arguments and opinions in a meaningful manner.

Love / All Polish women can't be nutters can they? [257]

That sort of behavior is not untypical with western women who have become spoiled and childlike. "Empowered" with almost total freedom without paying the consequences and this is what western women have become......

Western women can actually say and behave the way they want.

Western women have become spoiled as they have garnered more freedom than men in both law and culture. Unfortunately they abuse these freedoms as western societies have not held women accountable for their actions and behavior. This has started to change.

We've come a long way baby.

Yes, it's been very noticeable how slut-like western women have become. That's nothing to be proud of.

All Polish women can't be nutters can they?

Of course not. In fact, I have found that on average most Polish women are more sane than other women and when compared to western women it isn't even a close contest.

Now, some Polish women become westernized and that puts them into a different and more negative category.

mira; "it's a two-way street, we don't understand you,men either."

Perhaps this will help.

Genealogy / Polish person's average height? [210]

Auxology is an interesting subject. I, myself am 10 feet tall and people frequently refer to me. For instance, I often hear, "I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot Pole."

Love / All Polish women can't be nutters can they? [257]

we somehow got in a moody conversation about personalities and differences etc, then the next day said she doesn't want to talk again

Don't assume that women know what they want. That can change from moment to moment.
Just remember to keep this in mind: With women it's all about them(selves). The female brain believes that (she) is the center of the universe. All else stems from that. This female condition is probably evolutionary.

Well, to women, it's more than just sex. Maybe she didn't feel that you really loved her,

You assumed that he wanted sex and she didn't. Perhaps her mood changed when he was so talky instead of amorous. On more than one occasion I've had women upset with me because I didn't take our relationship all the way.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

Any meaningful differences between Sunni and Shia

Only one; the Sunni are much better at playing "rock-paper-scissor" than the Shia - beat 'em every time.

USA, Canada / Why no Polish stuff in Chicago? [41]

Most of the Poles are moving away from the city, to places like Mt. Prospect,
Park Ridge, Norridge, Harwood Heights, Des Plaines and the extreme NW city limits.

Also Roselle, Addison, Schaumburg, Glendale Heights, Westmont and Lombard.

The historically predominat Polish Belmont/Milwaukee area is totally Mexican now.

Not totally; the "Red Apple" is just a block south of Belmont on Milwaukee and there are some stores in that area and south of there as well including a couple more restaurants.

Belmont /Central is like the last stronghold of the Polish neighborhoods in Chicago but its turning Mexican little by little each day:(

Very slowly; lets hope the Poles hang in there. But as previously noted, lots of Poles live in the suburbs now. They have become or are becoming Americanized.

the other one by Devon seems to be better quality.

I agree; the food is better managed at the Devon outlet.

I still miss "Orbit" restaurant (2800 north Milwaukee?)which closed some years back. Always preferred sitting at the counter and banter with the Polish waitresses.

Its turning into Los Angeles over there

I swear half of Mexico lives in the U.S.

I remember a polka who kept me waiting under the rain while she played cards and drank beer wth her friends just 100 meters away.Another one who told me she was tired and wanted to go to sleep and when I left her she met another guy who was waiting for her just 100 meters from the place we separated.

Oh, didn't they tell you? Polish women have this 100 meter thing. If they are closer to you than that then it means they like you.

The Capitol club

No, haven't been there; too many young people ;)

If I'm out drinking I usually hang around Streeterville or Old Town as both are close to my abode (I like to walk home not drive).

those Cub games!!!!

I'm a White Sox guy myself but I go to one Cubs game every year. In fact, I took my son to the first night game in Wrigley Field the Cubs actually played in 1988 (that was lucky as the first game they were actually to play was rained out and I had tickets for the next one).

I usually bus or cab it myself.

Yea, I love walking but everything is no more than a $7-$8 dollar cab ride away if need be.

I lived around Ravenswood

You were a few miles north and west of me. I do remember drinking at Ravenswood Pub once but I don't remember why.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

look at the history of the huge numbers of Jews that were saved by the Catholics. Look at the Catholic families who were executed because they attempted to save Jewish lives.

Those facts don't get enough attention.

Additionally, by any objective standard, Poland has been more welcoming to Jews than any other country I'm aware of. That is the reason why so many Jews lived in Polish lands.

USA, Canada / My wife wants to return to Poland...but I want to stay in the US [155]

Does she have any Polish speaking friends where you live? Perhaps she could join some organization which would be of interest to her?

She married you here; your child was born here. Your job is here. ...and "for better or worse" but todays women don't bother with the "worse" part very much.

Attempt to explain logically that you and she believed that the family future was here when she married you. In general, women will react more emotionally than men to anything that is centered around them. I would video the counseling between the two of you and if necessary play it back to her as needed. She might see things about herself in a different light when she is looking at the conversation from a distance instead of being caught up in it.

Always be logical and factual in your verbal communications.

OMG... I'm at loss for words.. you are one sick puppy.

People who watch themselves on tape or video are frequently horrified to see themselves behave in a manner which surprises them. In the inner heat of emotion people often do not remember the vitriolic words or the rancorous 'tone' they use. After watching themselves it is not unusual to hear them say, "I can't believe that was me".

New and informative information seems to shock you.

he got a court order to not allow me back into my house.
So it's not only women who do this.

Feminist (and so called "empowered") women and manginas do this; real men don't.

typical male answer

The above is a "typical" sexist comment by a female. Bashing men is second nature to lots of women. Think about it. Oh, I forgot, you don't do thinking, you do 'feeling'.

She would probably leave with my child.... Something I can't even imagine..

That's the unfairness. There is little a man can do about the children issue. This is an undisputed aspect of inequality where the woman gets the kid unless she is on drugs, booze, or has done something really wacko (illegal). I understand and sympathize with you on this most important issue. Many women do not comprehend a father's deep love and those who do don't care because at that point it's all about them(selves).

A shared custody is a must as children need both parents

Absolutely!!
Single parent families have a dismal record when it comes to raising children. By far, statistics show that children raised in one-parent families commit more antisocial behavior

which includes crime, drugs, alcohol and violence. If need be, get an attorney that specializes in proactive profather divorces.

my mate should have got rid of her partner of 9 years last year when his penis stopped funtioning because he was depressed!.

Perhaps it only stopped functioning for her? ...but then, that would be the full story and not just hers.

Let me get this straight, you think it's a good idea to leave (right now) a good paying job , uproot the kid, move to Poland to start a brand new life... soley because SHE wants too??

That's female 'logic'.
I call it 'me-ism'...... and it's sadly promoted by media and law.

to me the "child's best interest" basically meant the woman's best interest.

Does the cry, "women and children first" ring a bell? Oddly, in the feminist demand for "equality", this archaic platitude still commands a philosophical stronghold (there is even a radical feminist bookstore in Chicago by that name).

Automatically defaulting a child to the mother based on a parent being female is discriminatory.

when a woman sees the odds stack against her - child abuse allegations (by the man) mysteriously appear.

Any woman who does that cannot be capable of loving anyone.

another male who still dont get it!!

....and you have accused me of generalizing; lol. Oh, we get it alright.

if you had one caring bone in your body, you wouldnt be divorced.

Doctors have found 59 (and counting) caring bones in my body. Oh, and a big heart.
As to the divorce, it is sadly interesting that you know nothing about my personal life yet feel so free to throw your manure against the wall. It only sticks on you.

I know its not easy to uproot, move , and especially now

Show people how it's done.

Ah, misunderstood posts.....

Women frequently read or hear what they want to hear or read as opposed to what is actually spoken or written.
It makes them feel better and it's probably some kind of evolutionary survival mechanism related to self esteem. At any rate, it's always good to attempt to bring our 'equal' half back to the specific subject at hand. Asking them to focus is a good start.

The ladies here don't have to thank me for this advice; I know they appreciate it.

financial provision upon divorce tends to favour them.

True, but additionally, when good men fight for custody against not so good women, the courts still continue to give child custody to the women. That explains why men don't initiate divorce because they have so much more to lose. There must be more fairness in this area.

Amazing that feminists don't want more equally in this area isn't it?

Let's take another scenario; a man is married to an American career woman for a couple of years; he tells her that he wants to go back to his country, and he will take their child with him. Is there any doubt that some here would give the concerned woman different advice than given the man?

The woman in this marriage is 'changing the rules'. They married here, had the baby here, decided to live here. I almost hate to mention the following but maybe having a baby and going back to Poland was her plan from the start. Some women want a baby and therefore put in a minimal amount of time in their marriage investment. Sorry, but it happens.

the woman treated the man like dirt and ran off with the kid.

Some women use men as sperm donors.

My question is: Josef, how were you treated by her prior to this announcement of hers?
