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

How can anyone think for a second that any advice can be helpful.
Nobody knows OP personally, or anything about him his wife nor their circumstances for that matter.
If he wanted genuine advice he should turn to friends family or somebody who know first thing about him.
All this, assuming he is for real!

key word is horoscope :)

USA, Canada / What do the Poles hate and love about the U.S.? [170]

Poland has had two golden chances to force the USA into giving the visa waiver, and has failed both times.

So, country's such Czech Republic and Lithuania or Estonia had so much more sense and leverge then Poland?
Maybe ?!

Actually, I don't get this either. The Polish crying and whining about not getting the missile shield (when it wouldn't have protected Poland anyway!) was absolutely bizzare to say the least.

Internal politics, has nothing to do with missile shield, plus some media interest - average Pole don't give a s..te about it!

The Baltic states are useful strategically, as are those on the Caucas.

Fine, but its still doesn't answer question about NATO and EU members like Czech Republic or Hungary,what gives?

apparently

As much as I would like to believe it,......I think is simplified overmuch :)

Life / Can foreigners really understand Poles? [136]

Now, next issue. What else might I not understand? So far I see mainly similarities.

How about wee test?

Do Poles feel superior? Please elaborate :)

Superior to whom may I ask? Without a frame of reference, it's worthless.

Ah! Right question! Can you answer that? And I'll grant you profound understanding of Poles:)

Well, after having many discussions with Poles on this point, they feel superior to Russians, Ukrainians and basically all other Slavs. Wojna Polsko-Ruska subtlely shows that.

****!!! Are you sure you are Scottish?

Well, OK I guess you understand Poles.

Names and address of collaborators of the communist secret police who are holding prominent positions, now.

USA, Canada / What do the Poles hate and love about the U.S.? [170]

Regardless of whether or not the Poles "deserve" a visa waiver when entering the states, the visa restriction on Poland is there for a reason and the Polish govt. along with many of its citizens know this reason, or reasons, all too well.

Why be so ******* enigmatic, spread it over!As I don't know the reason or reasons!

If the war in the middle east ends up protecting other countries from say a nuclear attack, would those countries then owe Poland for sending troops to Iraq/Afghanistan?

don't say, such a highly hypothetical nuclear attack from the middle east would be aimed against Israel and USA, Poland would have been a very unlikely target, anyway before Poland send troops to Iraq and Afghanistan to assist USA.

Funny thought, that by assisting USA with wars on "whatever you choose to called" Poland actually put herself in the line of fire!

Why would America then be obliged to give Poland some sort of present for joining?

Ah! I don't think so, nor for sending soldiers to fight wars nobody cares about in Poland, nor soldiers killed in action, nor for buying equipment from American corporation for over 3 billion $ Poland can ill afford!

In my opinion all above doesn't matter much as a bargain chip, all this could had been avoided as nobody forced politician's to do it.

However I cannot fail to notice that in case of visa waiver program Poland is being discriminated against, and as Poland soldiers are being slain on the foreign battlefields on USA government invitation,then I say, indeed it doesn't look good!

an abysmal military if attacked by any bordering countries? check.

you tell me who deserves a gift.

You fancy yourself that you do Poland some kind of favor?
Only bordering country which could win military with Poland is Russia and if Russia would like to launch an attack on Poland, USA reaction is yet to be seen :)

I doubt that USA would risk a war with Russia over Poland (nuclear weapon), so all this alleged favors are hypothetical one's.

Do you sill wanna gift? Yo' must be kidding

Yawwwn..

hey Are you able to have proper debate, i doubt it, whoever your problem is ....i don't care, whoever you are i don't care.

I care only for a quality of your arguments, and they are poor, and most of the times you make a statement - it is so because i say so - **** it i don't care what you say, give me an argument, fact, information.

You like coffee, so do I, but I'm not drugs addict, and you sometimes sound like one
hope you are not high today:)

to the point!

And yes, it is a gift to you.

well, funk you! do you want it back!

You don't like NATO .. get the hell out of NATO

fine with me! We are leaving ! **** why Poland doesn't obey me /!:D

Like the whole thing would capsize or something.

after we leave it can bust to dust for all I care.

There won't be a war with Russia.. because of NATO.

ahw argument at least, well we could cut a deal with Russia, is not like they only waiting to attack us.

History / Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]

The name was to call a region of birth, as for his nationality he was from a Polish noble family, with a Polish coat of arms and a long tradition of pro-Polish patriotic activities

its not exactly right, he was from Lithuanian noble family .....but he considered himself Lithuanian in historical sense, but for simplified minds of contemporary cartoon fans - is better to stress that for all practical purpose it explains that he was Polish;P

USA, Canada / What do the Poles hate and love about the U.S.? [170]

Yes it is overall.. but was has been pointED out to Iron Balls and others is that the Polish gov probably doesn't want lose all the people they PAID to educate to the US economy. They're in the midst of building a fairly formidable economy themselves. Makes sense, doesn't Iron Balls? No.. you just want to blame everything on the American.

Yes it makes some sense... and is logical unfortunately I don't buy it being, so despised by you an European, because I know those politician's and they just don't think that way!

Haha.. look who's talking. You typically just stamp your foot and yell, "YANKEE PROPAGANDA". That's the only rebuttal you can fashion

scrappnappy it must be the case of mistaken identity, as I don't recognize myself in your magic mirror
,maybe it the same where you look as wise intelligent and smart person?
A little advice my friend, buy yourself real mirror !

As for you Ironside,

Why wouldn't your government WANT to keep you at home

Its no MY government and they just don't give a shite ....

after it's PAID for your educations??

its paid for NOTHING, taxes paid for it and much more ..... are you an American, phew?!

we know you despise us and curiously want access to our country

hey that people despise YOU it comes as no surprise but its doesn't mean that they despise all americans!

And even more curiously wonder why no one wants you in.

You must be familiar with the feeling, you tell us, or you famous brain haven't it worked out ,yet?

Yes it seems logical because it is LOGICAL.

it may seems logical to you but as I said it is logical and for the very reason it couldn't has been conceived by Poland's government.

And if there would be such agreement in place, public opinion in Poland would had learned about it long time ago.

News / Polish Priest checks fingerprints for mass attendance [26]

this is pretty scary, can't imagine what would have pasar if somebody were to resign from "religion lessons"...

you are probably person who is afraid of her own shadow!
And that's why you sprout nonsense. you have something of the Spanish Inquisition in you.

Poland is perhaps the most devoutly Roman Catholic country in Europe today and churches are regularly packed on Sundays.

Does it bother someone if true ?**** off

It's probably best not to give Catholic priests any more ideas about inserting things into children.

jealousy ?

Hey, priest, leave those kids alone ;)

its good idea why do you pick on things that doesn't concern you, leave this guy alone:D

This is part of a global drive to get as many records on people as they can.

agreed!

poor kids

USA, Canada / What do the Poles hate and love about the U.S.? [170]

The argument is why Poles aren't given free travel rights to America and specifically why America refuses, no?

Yes!
But debate is unless as long as nobody is able or willing to provide us with data.
To establish that took a few weeks of unnecessary bickering on PF with many fools.

In 2007, Poland from what I understand was over 20%, and in 2008, over 13%.

anything to back it up or it just pure and simple stipulation on your part!

As for you Ironside, this is directed to you because I'm tired of reading your incoherent babble: someone could post just about anything in favor of your argument

well, I was trying to goat some of PF member to publicly state their personal reasons for supporting visa requirements for Polish citizens.
Well, I plead guilty to all counts in the light of above explanation except for "incoherent
babble"!

I've met and taught 1,000 of these cookie-cutter America hating 20-something Poles.

I hate to break it to you but NO I don't HATE America and you are a fool for making such unfounded generalization!

Take away the economic crisis, or turn the clock back 8-10 years and open the USA border to Poland, and you literally have enough people leaving Poland to create a devastating blow to Poland's economy.

Maybe, I think not!
The point is that is not USA government concern or for that matter its motivation!

Ultra-patriotism is a dangerous thing......I see it all too often and it forces you to completely lose touch with reality.

like accusing anyone that is criticizing something about USA - of hate ???

krysiaI let you off the hook, I think you know why you do it.......
