Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

I know people from almost every country in the world.

You now individuals from every country in the world, but they are foreigners in foreign country, their are not typical specimen of their society, they alter they behavior to fit in!

I'm asking about society and country other than Poland that you know all the customs and ways intimately as well as the language to make a credible comparison !

There are so many polish people in western world not admitting their descent.

Well, if someone is born in other county than Poland and spend all his life there I don't think there something unusual about that he/she doesn't consider himself/herself Polish!

No big deal!

History / My Great Grand father took part in the Battle of Warsaw! [90]

What makes you think so? My opinion is quite opposite.

Well, before Russia was country which in a way was developing naturally, and has every chance to evolve into powerful and rich country. Using her natural resources to the advantage of her citizens.

Bolshevism achieved monstrous and crippled Superpower- which was strong only in military might for a while! Build on countless bodies and by countless crimes, which wasn't really necessary.

natural phenomenon.

Noting natural in Bolshevism supported by German General Staff - all top revolutionistwere traitors of Russia!

Even Great Civil War had positive sides because it leveled population both in social (removing nobility) and ethnical (mixing various nationalities) aspects.

I don't think is positive, you are for homogeneous spineless blob - typical horde like civilization. A leader is a law and a rest is to obey or else!

I think that such country is primitive and hopeless in the long run.

Yea probably, but still, poles shouldn't give any reason for it.

I couldn't care less about opinion of insecure morons.
As for Polish jokes, speaking seriously, there only two country's which have stereotyping jokes about Poles - USA and Germany!
What more, Germany has also few negative as well as positive stereotypes about Poles!Which is in a way understandable being enemies and all!
In case of USA you have only those jokes - that phenomena is interested in itself- question arise why mass media in U.S. did keep so called jokes alive and kicking for decades !

Well, maybe but I don't think that behavior of individual Poles translate to opinions about them abroad. Any given ethnicity has ample proportion of morons, criminals or as-holes, if you are ashamed of your nationality, .......!

No, It's about whining. Poles are experts in whining about how bad things are.

Oh! Do you have intimate knowledge of other nationality's to compare and form an credible opinion?

what Poland has that can compete with IKEA?

What do you want to compare? I don't think that way !
I know that Sweden have nothing much to show in their museums than items and treasures they robbed in Poland in XVII century.

here in Sweden, when something is of bad quality you sometime say " omg that thing was so polish ".

I suggest that you give back all polish things from your museums and castles, which will live them half empty! You can always replace them with Swedish things of highest quality from IKEA!

have always complained about their own country

Striving for perfection even if only verbally!

giving other nationalities the "right" to joke.

Only to insecure morons !

I am Russian, so they were.

Ah! You are being tribal ! Well, Russia is not well known for tribalism but why not give it try.
However, I think that Bolshevisms was a very harmful to Russia.

unparalleled rudeness and contempt for poor, simple people,

Well, its only typical naked frankness of an attitude of certain kind of people in certain country's.
It only an idea of nation and Christianity are making claims as to respect and sames for all.

Why you should alway be an obstacle on Russia's way?

What way ? I think it is a very good question.
You can alway talk with US.
Ah? You already do:)

The curtain drops!

*On the other hand there is China !

Seriously, problem is that Russia has no proposition for Poland, not proposition which is attractive enough, hell,let be frank here the only proposition Russia have for Poland is - be our ***** and we'll treat you nice (maybe) or else!

Who?

some bad people ...

Voluntary. Yes.

Well, yes !

a big point for someone wanting to end a pregnancy but unable to travel outside their own country.

What they say about economy, you know the rules, either swim or become a bum!
Anyway, is not as if pregnancy was some kind of disease.

The fact they don't have any suggests this is nonsense.

I would say other way around considering who gather there. You on the other hand have a right to your opinion.

Hahahahaha - when did you last go to mass?

When did you go to mass? In Poland giving money is voluntary!Ah, you know that, why ask then?

From anybody's really, unless they're an advocate of theocratic government!

I disagree, as I'm not an advocate of theocratic government but I oppose chaos and I'm for consistency in organization of a state. I mean inner consistency, and respect for certain values !

I laws build on basis of one set of value's, hardly make our hypothetical state - theocratic !

have a website and a declaration signed by fewewr than 20000 people.

Who cares? They are starving for attention, I would ignore or laugh at them!

Catholics criticising atheists for being 'after some funds' is very much the pot calling the kettle black.

very funny, you know the difference do you ?they organize with monies is mind, and for CC is only byproduct !

The fundamental difference is that organised atheists believe in a state where all are free to either live by the rules of a religion or not, according to preference and none are forced to abide by the tenets of someone else's religion. The RCC in Poland believes in a state whose laws are based on Catholic beliefs and prejudices and that people who refuse to abide by those prejudices are punished.

I suppose that it may look that way from your point of view!
