USA, Canada / Are you a US citizen? Test for Americans. [67]

If Osama isn't the leader he is a general. Wahabi islam is the real enemy here. I've read his "letter to America" years ago.

2. yes
3. no, I dont.
4. yes, Papa doc and Baby doc ring a bell?
5. yes.

If the question is are we able to understand motives and the corruptive nature of power and the true goal of media, The answer is yes.

I had breakfast with an Iranian Muslim who converted to Christianity yesterday morning. I'd love to talk more about it, but I want to drive my monster-truck down to McDonalds and get a Shamrock shake.

Warning? I think if someone tried to "warn" me of what I could say he would get a hearty "f*ck off"....and if you tried to hit me because your ego was bruised over a joke you are not going to be pleased with the outcome.

I would never tell anyone what they could or couldn't say. I would inform you that I was unhappy about what you said. If your intent was innocent it would be a non-issue. If you intended to insult or humiliate me I would still let it go. If you intended to hurt me and knew that I was hurt by it and continued anyways, I would ratchet up your "verbal violence" to the next level. Keep in mind that I am talking about a face to face situation. Internet arguments get a free pass.

60 days is a short stretch to serve to provide someone an education. Kind of a vacation for performing a civic duty. The recidivism rate is extremely low.

That article was a pretty sad attempt at humor IMO. I'm a middle America guy so I consider both coasts to be filled with fail and douche-baggery. :)

I think we've all been present at a party when someone has said something inappropriate for the setting or current emotional state of someone else who was present. Like so many things in life, its all about intent. If I think you are trying to insult me you get a warning, If you continue you get new glasses. Quite simple really. Most people are just trying to relate or bond in some fashion with you otherwise. Its really kind of situational. It can be risky to tell ethnic jokes at times but generally it helps break the ice and has always worked out for me. Kind of a shock therapy for the 800lb gorilla in the room sometimes.

This is why we can't have anything nice..........

I prefer to grow thicker skin and roll with it. Thin skinned people live miserable lives and suck the life out of everyone around them.

How I would love to give some of you "Irish sunglasses" and then take you to get drunk with me.

Look, being ever the peacemaker here on PF. I offer you the American redneck.. Surely you refined gentlemen of culture and education can agree that it is me and those like me who are the real scourge of humanity. Think about it, the entirety of Europe finally united by a hatred of American rednecks! Heck, Its the least we could do! (since you are my kinfolk) I'm gonna drive my big ole truck down to McDonalds (love Irish food!) and pick-up some double cheezburgers for me an the young-uns. When I come back I'll fire up this here re-puter and you kin let me know what ya think bout my idear.

MW,
Nazis were Darwinian Socialists too. Does Darwin and Socialism get a free pass yet Polish jokes dont?

I actually respect the passion you appear to have with this issue. I think you would have better results with a more finely tuned approach. Shouting Nazi or racist or something like that has lost its effectiveness for the most part.

respectfully.

Plenty of historical evidence that Poles are not stupid. Its actually to your advantage to have people underestimate you. :) I'm just sayin..

They were making Polish jokes on the radio here today in Chicago.

Chicago. If they gave the US an enema, Chicago is where they would stick the hose. -Lol.

Seriously though, Most Americans I know couldn't tell you what a pollack was.

Life / I'm from Polish descent. CAN YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE EU TO ME? [115]

Its the United States of Europe. Shhhhh! just don't tell the Europeans, They either haven't figured it out yet, or they think we haven't. :)

Four things a nation make:
1. Borders
2. Language
3. Culture
4. Currency

1. Borders = Gone
2. Language = English (2nd universal)
3. Culture = Secular Socialism
4. Currency = Euro

Keep this under your hat. :/ We don't want to frighten anyone.

Trying to attach Polish jokes to Nazis and then saying that American media promoted it is just silly. Especially since most visual media has had a disproportionate number of jews in it forever. Unless you mean to say that jews took swipes at Poles after the war via American media. Is that what you are insinuating?

You seem to be bigoted against white males only. Why is that?

I just do that as proof that these jokes have nothing to do with ethnicity, since they can so easily be transferred from one to another. Most important is a good punch line.

Correct, they are in fact Immigrant jokes here in the US. Poles, Irish, Italian, Cuban, Mexican... Just fill in the blanks.

What do you call a person who speaks 2 languages? Bilingual

Huh, I'm above par then. I speak American, Spanish (North American) and love.(cunnilingual)

That's not true. As Hitler said, if you repeat something over and over and over and over and over again, especially something ABSURD, a LIE, it gives the apperance of BEING TRUE.

I've read Mein Kampf from Mein Kumpfy chair. Nothing unusual or original about leaders trying to influence populations. Pharaohs and Caesars understood this. Al Gore does too. :)

Rat jokes have not really been in vogue during my lifetime here. Anyways, most jews that I know are pretty self-effacing anyways. If I hear one of these rat jokes it will probably be from a jew.

White folk aren't the majority where I live. I probably forgot more about Black people than your professors ever knew. I've told more black jokes and heard more redneck jokes than you could possibly believe. East Asian jokes too.

Let me guess, You think everyone is stupid and can't find a way to get along in the world without your help and ideals right? You are just the kind of person who is needed to take charge of things and straighten out this whole mess right? Good luck Mr/Ms. Stalin.

Go bend the ear of some hipsters in the coffee shop because grown-ups know exactly how things work already.

Being offended doesn't take any intelligence. Besides, the joke only hurts if its true.

"I guess I won't tell that joke after all. I'd have to explain it three times."

That joke is funny every time!

Ethnic jokes are funny usually because there is some truth to them. I'm not sure when It became criminal to realize and discuss similarities among groups of people, but this censorship needs to die. Quickly. I have engaged people of all sorts in this kind of thing and it has always been a great time. Its a chance to observe your group from the outside.

If you have some Yank jokes I'd be glad to hear them. Unlike some groups, we can handle it.

Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]

Editing your post then spewing another lame insult? There really is nothing new on the internet is there?

You should re-read your own posts. spewing. Pffft.

This is just the kind of talk that shames Poles and gives bad vibes.

Sounds like you need some " anger management ".

This is the best therapy for me. de-constructing a fool.

Just asking you to clarify your argument. What are you afraid of?

But I did notice your last comment...people who encourage others to commit suicide are a special kind of disgusting.

What are you talking about? I don't see it. You should seek some counseling for your depression/self-loathing/painful rectal itch.

Oh give me a break. What have you done that honors them so much Timbo?

The same things they did.

The current generation would be an embarrassment to the WWII era Poles.

Whos fault is that? Why don't you show them that in a kind way. You know, be productive in some fashion.

Also...they didn't do what they did so YOU could do anything. They did it to survive.

You must be young or have no children. Get back to me on this in a few years.

They are not different than anyone else who survived horrors...the nationality doesn't matter.

I'm not a one-worlder, so this although factually true is just stupid to me. Empathy is fine but you seem to want to minimize everyones story. Why?

Why do you let your egos rule you so much? The more someone talks about how PROUD they are to be some nationality the more useless they are to that society as a rule.

Nowhere in my post is proud or pride. Whos rule? yours? Why are you such a wet blanket? You appear to me to be either mentally ill or just a mis-educated fool. You sound like cancer to me. Get some chemo before you spread.
