USA, Canada / EMPIRE STATE BUILDING IN NYC DISRESPECTS POLISH AMERICANS! [88]

I'm surprised by selfhating nature of PolAms here...

We don't need to hate ourselves, thats everyone elses job.

Plenty of stuff in the US named after Pulaski. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulaski_(disambiguation) Maybe the Poles need to get busy naming stuff after him?

What about Kosciuszko?

Sorry, can't pronounce it. :) He's a victim of expediance.

Should be mandatory reading for Americans. Here are some quotes: (good and bad)

Keep in mind that they are devoid of any context.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [187]

Chicago Pollock
You're preaching to the choir brother. You may want to drop the partisanship and investigate Clinton a little further though. He signed NAFTA into law, CRA, (which caused the mortgage crisis) and never met a Chinese contributor he didn't like. But yeah, I'm with ya.

Afterthought - you meant no sense after all, no sense at all.

Oh wow.
Maybe it was Rothschild who wrote, "Give me control over a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws."

Am I making sense yet or are you still in denial?

USA, Canada / American Polonia. Wisconsin - the most Polish state? [112]

they dont like us Yankees!

Nah, They just dont like you flatlanders and F.I.B's. Illinois charges about 12 bucks on my I-pass every time I go home, I guess if I have to pay to get out of Illinois then thats a fair deal. :) If it wasn't for guys from Chicago coming up to deer hunt, The fat chicks would never get laid.

Is there a chart somewhere I can refer to?

Thats funny right there!

If studied carefully, this thread can teach a Yank more than enough to fully understand Europeans. Am I right my fellow Ah-mur-i-kuns?

A lot of the time any attention payed to the non-black side leads to accusations of "black denial". and capitulation in calling yourself black leads to a backlash because of the white parent.

As you can see, there are plenty of people more than willing to define both you and I. Thats fine, but the only definition that really matters is our own. Why does it seem impossible to embrace all your heritage? You are in a unique position to observe both cultures objectively and see the good and bad in both. Choosing sides is not really going to help you with anything other than furthering someone elses agenda, and thats whats really going on. As you can see I am not or will never be accepted into any of the heritages that eventually led to me. Sound familiar? Thats the real predicament of being an American. We are everybody and nobody. The whole thing is just more trouble than its worth. I'm just going to live my life.

Crazy-fun thread.

Josh,

What are you looking to hear? You're an American. My Polish, Irish, and Native American heritage are just passing curiosities. We will never actually be thought of as belonging to any other "Tribe" if you will.

Oppose douche-baggery in all its forms and have a nice day

Real Estate / TRESPASSING ON MY LAND IN POLAND....what can i do legally...? [119]

Oh, right.

Um, Just run naked screaming like a banshee and bonk yourself on the head with a stick or ssomething like that. Thats what I do. Its Super-effective.

You might also start a rumor around town that the property is infested by Nazi-rape-ghosts dressed in clown outfits. Dress in a clown suit and walk about the property at dusk for a few days in a row. the word will get out.

Real Estate / TRESPASSING ON MY LAND IN POLAND....what can i do legally...? [119]

But to kill an animal just for fun , to stick its head on my wall....no , not for me....

Neither would I. I hunt and fish for meat. I do have a few antlers about but they were never the point of the hunt. I could go to the grocery store easy enough, but why pay someone to raise an animal for meat and then pay the state to dispose of an over-population of prey animals. I can appreciate that not everyone wants or needs to participate. Thats cool.

Oddly enough, I am approached by more female family and friends than males who are interested in hunting and shooting. The idea that you can take an animal and feed yourself and family is really very empowering and confidence building to these women. The secondary result is that through learning to handle a weapon properly and becoming proficient with it they have a much higher sense of personal security.

What was this damn thread about again?
