USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [115]

I fail to understand why someone would be required to write an essay they can't knowingly answer.

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

lol I'm not an immigrant, and I still agree with your girlfriend.
This countries culture at present evolves too heavily around unhealthy convenience and blind consumerism for consumerism's sake. Our nation's consumerism is a very large part in why we're in an economic crisis. Many people tend to spend money they don't even have.

And, there's quite a bit more wrong with our society than that.
You know I've met men who have it so backwards that a beautiful girl great for the mother and wife role is viewed by them as something to pass by prefering an easy girl with fake beauty and a big paycheck? How sick is that? American greed and materialism is way out of hand.

USA, Canada / Poles in America: How do you pronounce your Polish surname? [128]

I'm of a Polish matriline, so...
But, I know of a 13 letter name, where only 7 letters remain, with a "rze" changed to "rez."
I imagine they probably pronounce it like American-English.
