Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

This is just a generalization on my part... I think most 'white' Catholic countries do not practice it
and since on paper Poland one of the most Catholic countries it fits?

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]


If its online can you put a source here or pm me?
I have seen various IQ scores but only 1 ever made much sense.


Woah didnt know that since im still fairly new here.
But his bashing is insane.


Source please? or pulled out from your ass? (no offense meant lol).
Britain has made quite a few discoveries especially because they were the first or one of the first industrialized countries. Poland was gone for 120+ years. More time was spent on uprisings probably.

USA, Canada / Is there a Polish community in Vaughan, Ontario? [5]

I always thought of Vaughan and in particular Woodbridge to have lots of Italians.

I have been in Paderewski Park several times. I think going once or twice is okay to meet with friends/ family/other Poles but too much times can be well boring.

Just wanted to mention both sides of the story :)

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

Yes. I think Poland like Germany/Russia should just stay away from these things.
If Britain France and Italy want to keep fighting these unnecessary wars (i.e. Libya) then they are painting a target on themselves.

Just for your information I am very opposed to the war in Libya and I do not hate Ghadafi at all.
Looking at American history we see that the Americans send their own people/dictators/CIA and cause commotion around the world. South America, Central America, Asia, MiddleEast, Africa have all felt the wrath of those idiot Americans who follow their government like dogs.

The US has caused millions of deaths since after WWII.

Just in Libya and I quote:

NATO terrorism and crimes against the civilian population have included the bombing of 294 civilian targets, killing and wounding a total of 6,232 according to the Libyan Red Crescent Society statistics. These civilian targets include the Libyan Down's Syndrome Society, a school for disabled children, Tripoli's Nassar University, homes, schools, medical facilities and food storage warehouses, Bombing these sites are all outlawed by the Geneva Conventions and constitute NATO war crimes.

In summary they go to wars to prevent problems while causing the most harm. Hypocrites.

My dad who came from Poland to Canada several decades ago came with a Masters degree.
The Canadian government wouldnt accept it. He had to work in the toughest jobs from scratch until we became midclass citizens. I hope this has changed by today.

From this study Poles are up there in the EU.

He concludes that in Europe, adults in Germany and the Netherlands have the

highest average IQ at 107, compared with 100 across Britain. The UK is also beaten by Poland (106), Sweden (104), Italy (102), Austria (101) and Switzerland (101).

But Britons are brighter than people in Belgium (99), Spain (98), Hungary (98), Russia (96), Greece (95), France (94), Romania (94), Turkey (90) and Serbia, which finishes bottom with 89.

Adults in England and Wales have an IQ of 100.5, ahead of Ireland and Scotland, both with 97. Residents of London and the South East average 102.

Boy Crow is gonna be upset with Serbia score :|

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

The problem is I am not sure what year that study I pasted took place.
Article was 2006.

Additionally....

His conclusions are that the East Asians (Chinese, Japanese and Koreans) have the highest mean IQ at 105. These are followed by the Europeans (IQ 100). Some way below these are the Inuit (Eskimos) (IQ 91), South East Asians (IQ 87), Native American Indians (IQ 87), Pacific Islanders (IQ 85), South Asians and North Africans (IQ 84). Well below these come the sub-Saharan Africans (IQ 67) followed by the Australian Aborigines (IQ 62). The least intelligent races are the Bushmen of the Kalahari desert together with the Pygmies of the Congo rain forests (IQ 54).

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

I absolutely agree. For example its kind of unfair to test Africans were a good portion dont even have schooling.

And yes there are different forms of 'smart'.

UK, Ireland / The number of Anti-English Poles... [228]

Man I hate heat and humidity too! I cant stand going to country like Taiwan. I would be cooked.
I am very pale with blonde hair and blue/green eyes which makes sense though.

News / Rostkowski's comment about Greece from people who will pay nothing [11]

I dont know much about this area but I will say the
PIGS countries are causing trouble...

That is Portugal, Greece, Spain, and Italy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIGS_%28economics%29

That has some of the basics in it.

Basically those member nations of the European Union who after a decade of overspending are poised to fall into a catastrophic debt crisis.
Its already happened to Greece. And to be honest I dont think the EU should pay them LARGE amounts for the problems.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

Today here in Canada there is about 1 million Poles. And tbh were a quiet bunch very much like Germans.
Rarely I see people making Polish jokes compared to 10+ years ago.
There is 2 smaller groups who are quite loud in comparison: Greeks (danforth stuff), Portuguese (when soccer comes around). And Italians they are quite loud too lol (not a bad thing).

Ask the average Canadian and theyll say Poles are considerate/kind people (in Poland).
Some also know of our rough history being stuck between two giants Germany and Russia.
Little offensive stuff nowadays thats about IT EH?

History / Pomerania -a Polish land since the creation of Poland and the German invaders. [60]

The point is that the first COUNTRY to have Pomerania was Poland.
Everything in between is basically irrelevant because borders switch all the time.

Some Germans always talk about how Poland was part of Prussia for many years
but they are forgetting who put a flag there first :)

History / Pomerania -a Polish land since the creation of Poland and the German invaders. [60]

Nope.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silesia

Majority of Silesian borders is in Poland.
The first known states to hold power there were those of Greater Moravia at end of 9th century and Bohemia early in the 10th century. In the 10th century Silesia was incorporated into the early Polish state, but it later broke into independent duchies, coming under increasing Czech and German influence.

East Prussia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Prussia

Almost everything Italian?

Are you drunk lol?

History / Pomerania -a Polish land since the creation of Poland and the German invaders. [60]


If they want it they can ask. The answer will be a harsh NO :)

I dont have problems with todays borders okay?

But we were discussing Pomerania and the fact it was first Polish and is Polish today. There shouldnt be an argument about it in the first place >_>


Its debatable if Roma= Italy but more accurate would be Roma.

Or we can just say Neanderthals -_-

Language / My struggle learning the Polish language [10]

Perhaps you can attend a college/university for the Polish language for beginners?

You can try some online websites/programs to learn it.
For example Rosetta Stone you can get it the legal way (expensive) or the easy way (torrents)...

Genealogy / Polish genome - are you familiar with it [58]

I can say this though... Poland is one of the most homogeneous countries in Europe.

History / Pomerania -a Polish land since the creation of Poland and the German invaders. [60]

I am happy. And I care only very little what happened 10,000 years ago.
Whats wrong with us? Nothing. Just debating lands :)

History / Why is the Battle of Grunwald celebrated more than the Battle of Lubiszewo? [29]

Didnt know about this particular battle.

Perhaps Grunwald is easier to pronounce than Lubiszewo (might be a slight reason).

News / Sex is patriotic: Poland's birth rate rises [34]

1.4 thats it?! It needs to be way higher.

As it stands 'white man' is dying because of the low birthrates in Europe.

News / Sex is patriotic: Poland's birth rate rises [34]

Its not neutral when you compare it to the rest of the world.
Polands population is what 38.5 million?
in 2050 it will be 33.3 million.

Are you telling me thats a good thing?

News / Sex is patriotic: Poland's birth rate rises [34]

photius.com/rankings/world2050_rank.html

Looking at this almost all European countries will go down in population as the years go by.
Eastern Europe is heaviest hit.
Russia, Ukraine, Poland especially
Italy, Germany and Spain go down heavily too.

France and Britain as well (the whites) but will be kept fairly steady because of mass immigration.'

This isnt just a question of 'more sex'.

White people enjoy their fairly comfortable life. In many places sex is mostly for enjoyment and as for babies its a 'who cares' attitude.

In my neighbourhood there is so many people with only 1 child. Instead they have 3 cats and 2 dogs.
This mentality I dont like.
Even my cousins/uncles had 1 daughter and had 5 cats! Madness.

News / Sex is patriotic: Poland's birth rate rises [34]


Somehow I doubt this.


This is just nitpicking. Germany, Russia and USA have more people than Britain though.
He also missed France but I guess its too multicultural for you lol.

News / Sex is patriotic: Poland's birth rate rises [34]

Britain is only one country. Sorry to spoil your bubble but there is a whole world out there.
What you claim to be as 'many' can mean just about anything. Britain only has a fairly small fraction of Poles.
And im guessing that a large portion of them (not just in Britain) wont return to Poland.

Language / Why is the Polish language so difficult? [246]

English is a Germanic language which heavily uses 'Romantic' words as well. Thats part of the reason languages like English and especially Spanish are easier to learn for those people.

Its very rare to encounter a slavic word in English.


I laughed :)

UK, Ireland / Is UK the new cradle of antipolonism? [161]


A lot do. It doesnt matter where they are. And the same is true for 'living in the present'.
Your last statement is horrible generalization...

Many Poles left to the "New World" exactly because of money and difficult time.


LOL. is this a joke? A person is free to travel almost wherever they please.

UK, Ireland / Is UK the new cradle of antipolonism? [161]


I agree.


There is racists in every country though right? (not saying its good or bad).

Personally I see racism as having two groups:

1)The kind where someone will say "Go burn in hell you ******* [insertcountryhere].

2)Especially in the US and Canada we hear that "black people like chicken".
It has gone so far that this is now considered racism (I personally think in this case people need to lighten up and not take it as a racist comment).

Anyways thats a slightly different direction of the topic so I will end it here.

News / Multi-culti (in Poland) -- roadmap to disaster? [344]


I mostly agree with this.

North America was built by immigrants and because of history I think its appropriate here.
I live in near Toronto and 50 percent of the population was born outside the country and/or is a visible minority (like me).

I lived in a neighborhood that had lots of Poles, Italians, Blacks, etc for almost 20 years. I didnt have problems until more of a certain people started coming from the dangerous areas and I had to move out.

More guns were coming, more crime and it was getting unpleasant (keep in mind in Canada little people have guns compared to the US)

I moved out to the suburbs where my neighbourhood now is mostly white and quiet. I have to say I prefer it this way.

Europe is a white continent and it should stay that way for the most part. The same with Africa, Asia, etc.

Life / Will Polish people be accepting that im only half polish? [63]

Youll be fine in Poland. In my opinion the vast majority of people there are very nice.


Hes just being an ass as usual (im guessing hes talking about your grammar in that previous post).

Dont worry there is no rule to type in perfect english on this forum.
