Life / Individualism in Polish culture...Is it almost Nonexistant? [170]
Well, if I have to choose who to believe, a whole bunch of older people I've met there, who didn't have absolutely any reasons to lie to me or opinions of some biased PF members (not necessarily you though), you know my pick.
They just aren't telling the truth - time is clouding historical truth

Spain was just an example. What I basically meant was that Poles would rather travel to any country outside the iron curtain.
Well, of course you had to have a passport but other than that, the whole system was run from Moscow and we both know it's true.
Spain was (at the start of the package holiday boom) still very much under the control of the Falangists, and not a particularly pleasant place for people from Communist countries ;)

I travelled (za komuny) to Czechoslovakia,Romania,Hungary and East Germany and I can tell you there were differences because I have seen them with my own eyes.

Grubas, I talked to many Poles when I was there and I've been repeatedly told that there was no freedom in Poland "za komuny" whatsoever and that the decisions were made in Moscow. If you deny that, then you have a very little idea about it, my friend. It wasn't just one or two people who told me that but just about anyone I've met there (whoever lived there as an adult before 1989).
I doubt you have ever been in any of KDL countries then why do you post like you know anything?It wasn't like going from "state to state" and Soviet republics were a different cup of tea.Seriously, don't talk about something you have very little idea about.

no problems with that but ask Poles if they rather traveled to Spain too instead to Bulgaria ;-) (talking back then).

wrong, exactly the other way around. When I was in Poland, many Poles were telling me that one of the biggest problems back then was lack of freedom and a part of that freedom was the ability to travel around the world. They would travel much more if they were allowed to. Just look at it now, you see them anywhere you go.

DD, I thought you were smarter than that :-) The answer is, they could go anywhere they wanted, Poles couldn't.
Did people in the UK (for instance) really go much further than Spain and Italy during the Cold War? Not really.

Common myth. Poles (along with Czechoslovaks, Hungarians and East Germans) had plenty of opportunity to travel to other Socialist countries.

Dutch people are ok, because they're "Western" European and not foreign to Americans in the same way Poles are.

Not because of their Polish culture but because Poles in the US, usually live together in their little communities and avoid contact with Americans. Those of you who want to mingle with us, don't have any problems. I've met a lady from Chicago who lived here for over 30 years and she barely spoke English and she's not alone, I'm sure you know it too.
White Americans think people are not American just because Polish is their culture!

the thing is, wiki usually mentions one's origin and in his case, all they have mentioned is that his father was Polish and his mom was Irish, that's all.
Then again, does it really matter? (any country you pick, you'll find child molesters)
