News / Poland's Organized Crime [58]

Why is it that you never really hear about Polish Organized crime?

Because it practically doesn't exist. There is no such thing as a 'Polish mafia', just a bunch of opportunistic criminal gangs and elements. We used to call them 'white *******', since they were practically slaves to other organized crime syndicates like the Russian, Jewish, and Italian mafia's and could never really make it on their own, especially in the rural parts of Poland, where the peasants had their own way of dealing with these embarrassments.

So the Polish mobsters are better than the government, they are able work together with other nations not against. :-)

Wrong, the Polish government is the 'Polish mafia', for the very reason that they are able to work together with other nations and not against. :-)

History / Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]

Those soldiers who kicked you '41 from Dunkirk into the sea surely relished the revenge!

I guess Normandy in '44 was revenge for Dunkirk in '41.

...without the US in the first war and later the US PLUS the Russians in the second...

Funny you should mention the Russians in the second, bringing up the Treaty of Versialles and all, wasn't it the Germans who sent Ulyanov and his Bolsheviks into Russia? "Biting the hand that feeds."

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [329]

Why didnt you try an Italian pizzeria?

Couldn't find one, didn't try looking so hard because I was happy with what Krosno could produce.

All those pizza chains suck everybody knows that, where did you go to Kentucky?

Doesn't really matter what state, those sorry chains and their pizzas are probably the same the world over. Everyone says that if you want a good pizza in the States, Chicago is the only place worth looking.

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [329]

In the United States I've eaten pizza at various chains Mr. Gatti's, Cici's, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Little Caesar's, Pizza Inn and none of them come close to pizza's I've eaten at various Polish bars or from Miejsce Piastowe, which by the way some Italians said was better than the pizza's they've had in Italy. I'd have to take their word for it, since they live there. But all in all Polish pizza is pretty damn good, also there are a lot of varieties to choose from. Just wish you could get some barbecue in Poland though.

Food / Your favourite Polish foods! [180]

Tatare, it ain't Polish but we eat it anyways. Raw beef, raw eggs, pickles, onions, garlic, salt, pepper and vodka to wash away the mad cow disease.

Genealogy / Why Polish aren't white?? [272]

A bird does not know where one country starts and another begins.

That's because birds are stupid.

In our world race is as real as the imaginary human constructed political boundaries between nations.

Politics and nationality is not the same thing, you have multi-national states, nation-states, and multi-state nations, I guess those boundaries are as 'imaginary' as the 38th parallel because everyone knows that there is no such things as North Koreans and South Koreans, just Koreans.

Race is always a complex issue because it is an ill-defined human construct and people confuse things like ethnicity and nationality and culture with race.

That sounds like something a communist would say.
