History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]
What a joke! You meant, real re-written history, didn't you?
I made my case already and the whole world knows the truth. I cannot argue with brainwashed ignorance.
Do you know that we feel ourselves very safe if it comes to real documents and real history.

Love / Should a marriage proposal to a partner from Poland be done in private or public? [27]
I've never been a big fan of public grandiose proposals. The proposer is obviously in need of lots of attention. A quiet, private proposal is more appropriate. This is just my opinion. Different strokes for different folks.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]
Turks are very good at re-writing history from what I have been told and from what I have researched on the subject.
Hellooooo????? What part of "from what I have researched on the subject" did you not understand?
Yes, and he showed it to me.
Yes, especially a very good friend of mines 106 year old Turkish Grandmother, that's right 106. She lived in Smyrna (now Izmir) in 1915 and remembers Turks killing Greeks and Armenians. She is Turkish and admits the whole thing. She is a wonderful person and believe it or not, she lives alone in her apartment and is still able to cook for herself. She saw many atrocities perpetrated against Armenians and believes Turkey should just admit the truth. She lives in California near me.
Also, the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey in 1915 was Henry Morgenthau. He wrote a book about his first-hand experiences in dealing with the 3 Main perpetrators, Enver, Taalat, and Djemal. He personally witnessed and watched the whole thing and tried to get help for the Armenians. You can read a few chapters from his book, they are fascinating:

The Turkish Embassy officials were foolish enough to make such an arrogant demand, thereby depriving themselves of the opportunity to present their lies on TV. Their bullying tactics only work under the existing non-democratic conditions in Turkey!
cilicia.com/armo10e2.html
I also read: SMYRNA 1922, The Destruction of a City by Marjorie Housepian Dobbin as recommended by my Turkish Friend's Grandmother.
I also read: THE ARMENIAN MASSACRES, 1894-1896 U.S. Media Testimony.
It appears that 300,000 Armenians were massacred By Turks during this time period.
I also read BLACK DOG OF FATE by Peter Balakian
But to reiterate my original response, ...most Polish people whom I have talks with do not care for Turkish people and find them to be rude and obnoxious.
Can you explain this my Turkish friend???
Did you believe everything he told you without any hesitation ?
Turks are very good at re-writing history from what I have been told and from what I have researched on the subject.
Hellooooo????? What part of "from what I have researched on the subject" did you not understand?
Did you ask him if he got any document proving genocide ?
Yes, and he showed it to me.
Did you talk any Turk about what happened in 1915 ?
Yes, especially a very good friend of mines 106 year old Turkish Grandmother, that's right 106. She lived in Smyrna (now Izmir) in 1915 and remembers Turks killing Greeks and Armenians.

Which probably was a good Idea until the sheeple in the US elected the World Saviour, Barry Hussein Obama. Now where does that leave Poland? Sh*t out of luck. I hope not too many of your youth were in the big crowd at the Brandenburg Gate last year bowing down to the great one.
It makes many of us here in the U.S. sick to see how he has turned his back on Poland. I agree however that Poland should build up it's military.
Our politician-prostitutes put all their faith in NATO, which supposedly is ready to defend us in every critical situation.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]
Most Poles I talk to do not care for Turks and find them generally to be rude and obnoxious. This is just what I hear from most, but not all Polish people in my travels to Poland. Speaking with a University History Professor in Krakow this past summer the subject came up in relation to a conversation about Poland's Armenians who have been in Poland since 1300's.
I was told that Ignacy Lukasiewicz was a Polish Armenian who developed the oil business in Poland in the 1800's and invented the kerosene lamp. The Polish Professor was a fascinating person to talk with and we have mutual friends in Krakow so hopefully I will have the opportunity to speak with him again in the future. He said that a historical fact is that among the many reasons for deporting Armenians during World War I was that the Turks were very Jealous of the Armenians because the Armenians were very industrious, had culture, successful businesses, etc. Kind of like the Jewish in Eastern Europe before WWII.
The Turks and Kurds displaced millions Armenians from 1915-1923 and killed or marched to their death 1.5 million Armenians. A good majority of present day Turkey is Ancient Armenia. So basically Armenians were driven from their land and this is the reason Turks vehemently deny the Genocide because they are worried about ancestors demanding reparations. Turks are very good at re-writing history from what I have been told and from what I have researched on the subject.
Most of the intelligent people in Poland that I have talked with despise them and have had bad experiences with them especially many of those who have lived and worked in Germany and had the opportunity to interact with Turkish people in that country.
I will not repeat here the stories I have been told about those experiences.

Life / What gifts to take? Presents customs in Poland. [148]
No they're $1 coins. The first in the series had George Washington. They're gold in color. Not solid gold. They're worth a buck, but they are unique. The kids in Poland loved em'. A roll is only $50.
More info:
The United States is honoring our Nation's Presidents by issuing $1 circulating coins featuring their images in the order that they served in office. The United States Mint issues four Presidential $1 Coins each year, with Presidents Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, and Lincoln being honored in 2010. Each coin has a common reverse design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. These coins feature large, dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year of minting, or issuance, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the mint mark. In 2009 "In God We Trust" was moved from the edge to the face of the coin. The size, weight and metal composition of the Presidential $1 Coins are identical to that of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar and the Native American $1 Coins. Learn more about the Presidential $1 Coin's design features.
Not sure about the coins ,that sounds very expensive?!;-)

I don't talk about some snobs or bohemians who thinks its trendy to wear some second hand stuff. Polish people should feel ashamed cos these shops are more common than any other business. They have no pride of themselves, slave mentality.

Of course, if you peek into the kitchen there's a couple of older Pani's in there cooking away and gabbing in Polish. We highly recommend this place as well. It will not disappoint!

My wife Ania & I have been going to Delikateski in Concord for 10 years now. We were very dissapointed last summer when we wondered in and the shelves were bare and there was hardly any variety. We figured it was going out of business. My wife commented that it reminded her of communist times when she was a little girl in Poland.........empty shelves.
Well we're happy to report that it's now called Ted's Delikatessen and the shelves are packed with every Polish food product you can possibly think of not to mention that the freezers, coolers, bread shelves, and kielbasa areas are stocked full as well. What a delight it was last weekend to go in there and see my wife so happy to have all these products, spices, etc. available.
Polish beer, chocolates, movies, magazines and newspapers available also. So if any of you on this forum are in the Bay Area, we can highly recommend this place. 1980 Monument Blvd. in Concord.
