Genealogy / DNA Testing in Poland. Is it popular? [81]

If you are Polish, have you been DNA tested?

No, I'm not interested in that. As far as I know all my family is pure Polish. My brother checked our genealogy and everything seems clear. If I had some not Polish ancestors in,let's say, 17th century I don't care.

Life / Polish gimnazjums - memoirs of a teacher [32]

Who want to say that polish schools/youth are better than in western countries let better wake up dreaming about neverland!

Of course Polish teenagers are not different that others but as to the problems in school-it all depends on the teacher.I had teachers that would never let kids to behave that way.

And as for the pre-school- we don't have enough kindergartens in Poland.After the fall of communism one after another was shut down.

Life / Foreigners in Poland and what they think of us [54]

When some Pole was going abroad without knowing any language and not trying to learn one I said he was stupid and that's what I think of any person in this kind of situation. However I have to admit that with English it's a little bit different-it's true that's international language and ppl take shortcut.I have to admit I also do that- I know Russian but I immediately speak English-it's just easier that way.

If you're interested in more videos like that from PennBoy you can find them here: polandia.wp.tv/en/index.html

Life / What do Poles want, what drives them...? [58]

What I want? To spend time with my family and 2 pets,to keep the friens I have and meet new ones (it may be hard as I'm crazy:D), to finish my school and get a good job (at least mildly interesting and with convenient salary) and to just be happy.I've never dreamt about anything else.Och,and I want my life to be a little bit useful.

News / Independence Blood Bath on Polish roads over the long weekend. [69]

Once the general tone of society moves against drink-driving, most people (aside from the uncultured few) get the message and stay off the drink.

I agree with you.It starts to be like that in Poland.We still have to change but there's an improvement.

But still, in Poland, when Wujek Andrzej stumbles away from the family party clutching his keys, maybe your grandmother will say "are you sure you can drive ok?"

When I was present in situation like that I've clearly said that this person shouldn't drive and then everybody agreed with me.

It's a pathetic story I've seen too many times at too many Polish celebrations.

Did you call the police?

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

There's one thing I just don't understand-why they care?If they haven't seen Poland in years(some of them probably never),don't know anything about this country and don't want to know then why?What's making them some power-seeking?

They've the right to have their opinions I just don't want them to call Polish nation stupid because they chose differently and I don't want them to have the right to decide about my future (some of them claimed in 2000 that all of US Polonia should have the right to vote).

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

Happened this year as well. The whole condescending "oh, you don't know what's good for you" is just so absolutely insulting towards Poland - as is the way that they claim to be Polish, they interfere in the Polish state, yet they have no sense of the consequences of their actions.

I really don't care if they claim to be Polish just get out of our way if you are not truly involved.As you said-they don't know the consequences and they don't have to live with them.But beside that American Polonia don't interest me.Of course there'll be idiots as well as in any other group of ppl.I don't know them so I can't judge.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

I was really mad at American Polonia once in my life.It was after elections for a president in 2000 when in Polonia Tv I've heard interviews with ppl from US that claimed that ppl in Poland are stupid because they chose Kwaśniewski (US Polonia chose Krzaklewski).I've got really pissed off.How ppl that never been in Poland can tell me who I should choose?If you want to decide bring your ass here and live here.And I don't mean someone who works there but plan to come back here-I'm talking about ppl who live there and don't want to change it.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

I'm also a big fan of Raciborskie.

I'm really glad you're supporting brewery from my town :D I have to admit I only tasted it once. Personally I prefer Lech.

Genealogy / The last name is Krzywoszyja. Help? Am I Polish? [30]

Not every Polish last name ends with ski.Your last name really points to Polish roots.As for the rest I don't know.Maybe there's really some other nation in your heritage.

Life / brother and sister relationships in Poland [14]

Did you tried talk to her about that?
My brothers are 17 and 21 years older than me and even I'm an adult I still let them get bossy.I know it's weird but that's how it is.Family is important so be careful and don't mess things up.

News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]

Olga: And revenge would fit, no? No. Your opinion is based on a single claim: "Mr Putin and/or Russians are evil".

Even that wouldn't fit-we're not as important for Russia as we think.I don't believe in "revenge crime" in this case.They could loose more than they could gain.In fact for Russia it'd be better if it never happened.Now the whole world hear about Katyń.

Language / Optimal word order in: Czy dobrze się wczoraj bawiłaś? [22]

I think it could be free,drunken "Round the World" tour :D Remember that Polish ppl are everywhere :D
It's really nice to have him on PF.Every time I think I won't be able to learn Russian I'm looking at something he wrote in Polish and my mood is better :D

SeanBM: because your level of Polish is making me look bad

Even native speakers look bad compared to him :D I also would like to buy him a beer :D Not only because of his linguistic skills but because I agree with almost everything he says :D

History / A rare Polish medal [14]

Actually it wouldn't be so stupid idea.It's the thing Polish ppl never learn-that sometimes it's wise to just keep your head low.I love it but it also gave us some hard times.

News / Did you know that Polish army is the weakest in Central Europe?.. [150]

No I never did.what do you mean "we can't"?YES, WE CAN!

So you really don't know.We can defend many kilometers of forest?The whole Bieszczady area?"Zielony Szlak" begins in Ukraine or Bielarus and ends in Poland.If you know where you should go you can come to Poland.

Przynudzasz, niunia...

I'm not your niunia and of course I'm boring because it's better to say that Polish army is weak without any proof.I'm not arguing with your statement because I don't know any statistics myself,but as I can see you don't know them either.

As I understand wiki is the most reliable source of informations...I really hope that you are not serious.

I dont think there would many potential invaders if they were facing lets say 8 milions armed

Did you heard about "Zielony Szlak"?We can't really defend that border.
