Arien if you can't afford the house because you don't make enough $$$ then work 60-70 hours a week. save $$$ for the downpayment. :)

Arien,

You see Poles work alot harder and longer then Americans or Brits do. :)

Poles are hungry for both money $$$ and power.

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

we Polish people like misery:) we celebrate every failed National Uprising and battle.

we don't like to smile , if you smile too much in Poland then something is wrong with you.

we Polish people are very jealous if our neighbour is doing better financially than us.
There is a Polish joke about a three farmers. the Jewish farmer is rich and has 3 cows while his neighbours the German and Polish farmers are poor and don't have any cows.

Each night before going to bed the German prays "God may I one day have the money to buy a cow"

while the Pole prays " God may the Jew's 3 cows die ":)

The most horrible thing is that Poles mistreat their countrymen abroad. :)

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]

crow, kak o si kurac :)

you wrote " Slavs originate from Balkan (from Danube and from Adriatic) as even genetic findings confirmed."

please Serbian friend don't spread garbage hypothesis.

The origin of Slavs is most likely from the border region between Poland and Ukraine.

This is why we have Sorbs (ancestors of Serbs) living next to Poles and Krakow area used to be home to White Croats.

The location of the speakers of pre-Proto-Slavic and Proto-Slavic is subject to considerable debate. Serious candidates are cultures on the territories of modern Belarus, Poland and Ukraine. The proposed frameworks are:

Lusatian culture hypothesis: The pre-Proto-Slavs were present in north-eastern Central Europe since at least the late 2nd millennium BC, and were the bearers of the Lusatian culture and later the Przeworsk culture (part of the Chernyakhov culture).

Milograd culture hypothesis: The pre-Proto-Slavs (or Balto-Slavs) were the bearers of the Milograd culture
Chernoles culture hypothesis: The pre-Proto-Slavs were the bearers of the Chernoles culture of northern Ukraine
From the 19th century onwards, the debate became politically charged, particularly in connection with the history of the Partitions of Poland, and German imperialism known as Drang nach Osten. Generally, both German and Slavic want to be 'autochthonic' on land at river Vistula.

Autochthonic theory (the Proto-Slavs are native to the area of modern Poland), before 5th century.

Allochthonic theory (the Slavs immigrated to the area of modern Poland) after 5th century.

The debate has been used as a tool of political propaganda and is often emotionally charged and interspersed with pseudoarchaeology and national mysticism.

Contemporary scholarship in general has moved away from the idea of monolithic nations and the Urheimat debates of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and its focus of interest is that of a process of ethnogenesis, regarding competing Urheimat scenarios as false dichotomies.
