UK, Ireland / I need help!! (problems with my Polish coworkers) [41]


Very true.

Life / Have many Poles had enough of one another? [198]

Poles are surly by nature and don't do well in service type jobs (salary or lack thereof has nothing to do with it). They're best at production type jobs, put your head down and work, they are very hard working. Task driven.

Love / Polish girls and American boys (who don't even know where Poland is located ;) [36]


For better or for worse American culture is one of inclusiveness. They're including you. It's the culture. It's not a melting pot, it's a melding pot.

USA, Canada / American...Polish Resident...Returning to the land of milk and honey [103]


It's been a hot one in Okiefonokie this year. Yeah, Boulevard is nice but I've been buying "Fat Tire" lately.


Beckski, why don't you move back?

USA, Canada / American...Polish Resident...Returning to the land of milk and honey [103]


Bernanke has it right, you can't fix the debt without fixing the economy first.

Hey Grubas you unemployed, where do you live that the economy is so bad?

News / Should Poland leave the EU institution? [147]


Poland was also biggest recipient of war damage. Consider EU aid war reparations, why not? The longer Poland stays in EU, Poland will eventually lose it's sovereignty. Poland should emulate Norway, Iceland, Switzerland. Forget EU.

USA, Canada / American...Polish Resident...Returning to the land of milk and honey [103]


Work is in the oil states right now: Wyoming, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Montana, etc. (jobsnd.com/job-fairs)

Seanus, it's accounted for. They released the list. A few in Europe. But the economy drives the debt.

Why don't you know if you're staying?

Do you consider yourself "out of Poland for good", or do you intend to move back at some point?

History / An American studying medicine in the PRL 1978-1985: my story [142]


Poles never do.

Love / Polish women USED TO BE much more attractive: [162]

Ah, you often express that English theme that profit is immoral and the cause of all evil. It's just the way the English Upper Class keeps the English Working Class ... Working Class ("Tell 'em making money is evil"). Quite clever of them when you think about it.

F-Stop


Your son is quite right. The reason why Americans are obese is not due to eating too much, it's eating too many processed foods more specifically sugars and carbs. Adkins (Adkins diet) was right, we need more protein. You wanna cut the weight? Eat more meat.

I've just watched a series on PBS about evolution of humankind and they mentioned that man's brain size increased due to the availability of meat in their diet. In other words if we didn't have access to meat we wouldn't have evolved.

Love / Polish women USED TO BE much more attractive: [162]


No, Christianity is based on charity, love thy neighbor, be nice to your neighbor, etc. The concept that money is the root of all evil comes from Roman Catholicism and they're political relationship with the ruling classes in Europe (How else do you keep the lower classes on the farm?) If money was the root of all evil Communism would have succeeded.



They went back about a million years and used DNA analysis. Eat more meat

UK, Ireland / We live in the UK; my husband is not legal in England [47]


that's a bummer.

Law / Why is US $ getting so high or Polish zloty falling? [60]

The dollar is strengthening due to the economic fiasco in Europe. The Euro doesn't work for so many different countries and cultures. Looks like Greece, Portugal and Ireland might bugger off and do their own thing (as they should).

Law / Why is US $ getting so high or Polish zloty falling? [60]


Gold's value is perception also.


There were lots of reasons for Rome's decline. One should read Gibbons on the fall of the Roman Empire. It's quite voluminous.

The fact is there isn't enough gold to go around to support currencies. The current economic crisis has been created by the major banks and elites who wish to politically control the world through finance.

Travel / Is panhandling a common sight in Poland? [24]


Prayer is no substitute for being nice to your neighbor.

Law / Why is US $ getting so high or Polish zloty falling? [60]


BS, The Elites have you...hook, line and sinker. They want to keep you down and this is a way they do it, you owe money!


Very True


I did, I read Gibbons. Actually Rome fell due to slavery. It was a slave economy, everything else is symptomatic of this fact. The problem with America is not the debt. The problem is, it's becoming a slave economy.

Real Estate / Restructuring of polish chf mortgage [42]


Big deal.

If you're a good looking babe I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms.

Bring all those Polish women to the States. Nobody notices.

USA, Canada / Polish citizen getting drivers license in United States [21]


Depends on the state. Not where I live.

History / Polish bombers over Berlin in 1939? [19]

After WWI Poland gained independence and if they feared an oncoming war they should have got as many WWI surplus planes as possible. There were thousands available from the French, Germans and English that were simply thrashed. WWI airplane would have made excellent ground support aircraft and if the Poles would have had 10,000 WWI planes the German invasion may have had a different result.

USA, Canada / Where do most Polish-Americans identify on the political spectrum? [142]

Yeah, I used to vote Republican but that was as a moderate Republican not as posted above. Most Polish Americans vote their interest which is mostly Democrat. Polish Americans are too well educated and intelligent to believe all of the Right Wing Propaganda.

Polish Americans voting in the Kaczynski election? These were recent emigres from Poland, not Polish Americans.



Canadian culture isn't US culture. These are different countries. Most emigres in the US assimilate, in Canada they tend to hold on to the culture from which they came. For better or worse America is a melting pot, Canada is not.

News / POLAND TO BECOME THE NEXT GREECE? [28]

It's not how it is portrayed in the Press. The Greek people never see the money. The money goes from the ECB right to the German French Banks with the People of Greece signature on it. The whole thing is a scam to effect control over the Greek people, instead of armies marching through Europe the elites are using finance. It's a fact that the German elite want to make Europe their common market, the only fly in the ointment is that the German-man-in-the-street doesn't want it. What do the Polish Elite want and is it in the interests of the Polish people?

USA, Canada / US Polonia 70% for Kaczyński [343]

Americans don't vote in Polish elections. They barely vote in their own elections. It's the Polish ex-pats who are voting in Polish elections, they're not Polish-Americans.
