Love / Polish Girls vs Russian Girls [813]

Then there is the old nature vs. nuture theory, which could illustrate the role of how children are raised into gender roles of a culture.

Comment?

OK, then can you elaborate at all? Is it hard for you to make a cultural comparison in this area? Where could one find a study on this topic?

Love / All Polish women can't be nutters can they? [257]

LT. Navy....why are you putting yourself in a vulnerable position again? She has shown you who she is. Believe her. I'm afraid she's gonna take advantage of you.

Wipe off the spider webs man, and run!

No, no I'm not criticizing you or thinking that you've lost it.
I just hate to see people suffer.
If you know what you are doing and protecting yourself, that's good.
But in another way, spending time with her could be a way of missing out on someone else who's far superior. Ya know?

Yes, I understand. Its not easy.
Just don't let her drag you around. You were good to her. Spend some of that "goodness" on someone worthy. :)

Well the funny thing is I've been told that I was too good to her!

You were too good to her. She did not return your kindnesses. I view her as someone who depends on the kindness of others, making the rounds as needed.

I expect that if she determines that you have "cut her off" she will replace you with someone else. It is disappointing to see someone behave in this way, but don't think all women are like her. They are not.

I hope that you recover all that you lost, and find someone wonderful. All the best. :)

Czesław Miłosz

Wow, Puzzly. Your view of him really surprized me......not what I would have expected. He wrote of life under oppression, and what that does to the pysche. Interesting. You have thrown me your first "official curve ball"... :D

Besides wtf are you doing in a polish forum?

Actually....there are a lot of non-Polish people here. One does not have to be Polish to have a connection.....I'm not Polish and I love Poland, the people, and the language!

Life / Thoughts on Music in Poland [132]

Oh, another thing.... What is Disco Polo? is it new? old?

I had never heard of it either.....but from what I understand, many clubs have a night where they play old disco hits from the seventies....and it is popular with the younger kids who (of course missed it the first go around). But somehow I doubt they "dress" in seventies kitsch....could be hard these days to find silver metallic tops, clear acrylic stacked heels and sheer lip gloss.......and a Farrah Fawcett hairdo :)

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]

Sometimes one can have stereotyped views or memories long held which do not always relate to the changes that have happened in some parts of the world over the last couple of decades. It's usually one held by older people who have nostalgic views of how things were or should be. It doesn't really relate to the views of the people who are living in those countries in this day and age.

Sometimes? More like "most of the time"! :)
People don't like to change things....not even their mind! :(

Life / What's wrong with you, Polish people - is it an inferiority complex? [123]

In sociology there is something called a "culture of victimhood" ....its a kind of syndrome. I don't know if it applies here (it's a rather complex situation). From what I gather the sociological phenomenon deals with an attitude or viewpoint of superiority via martyrdom.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

Oh my god Fisz, that article was hysterical! I needed a good laugh! :D

But.....Bush is a little bit dangerous, don't you think? hehe *how much longer before he's gone?*
*goes to put another X on the calendar*
The article reminded me of what we Americans have been saying on this forum for a long time......that most of the opinions of us and our culture come from "brief snapshots" that come from the media, a vacation, or our government's latest goof. Rarely is the daily life of America presented via these venues. America is a vast, diversified country, so unless you have lived in all parts of it.....comparisons end up sounding like something from the poem about the blind men and the elephant! *sigh*

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

Apparently there's only one American lifestyle.

hahaha....that's gonna be a big shock to Wisconsin dairy farmer, the Alaskan fishermen, the folks that work on Wall Street, the Texas rodeo circuit, and the Hollywood celebs!

One American lifestyle....who knew? *makes big eyes*

They eventually came out with a Gothing Powder - makes your blacks blacker than black.

We DO have that! hehe (Goths aren't so bad you know!) :D
