News / More cars in Poland than America? [29]
486 (according to OP's PL link) in Poland and 797 in the US, so unless I overlooked something, we have more cars per capita in the US than in Poland

yeah, whatever is on the road, I guess (not sure about commercial, though).
The 797 per capita in the USA included vans, SUVs, pickups, all-terrain and commercial vehicles.

and I believe that you guys see our pick up trucks and SUV's as commercial (which are very often privately owned and operated here) and that's what makes the difference.
commercial vehicles - such as trucks and taxicabs, registered to companies - are included.

News / More cars in Poland than America? [29]
I live in a small town (4500 people) and I see more cars over here than I saw in Radzyn Podlaski with its 17k people or many other small towns I visited in Poland. I understand, you really want to believe your statistics but either they have a different way of counting cars or they're wrong, simple as that.
Just like Meathead said above: "You don't understand tax law in the states. Very many people (me included) have small businesses and if we use the car for business it can be depreciated for reducing our taxes. The best selling vehicles in the US are pick up trucks which most have four doors and are operated like a sedan. I also own four other vehicles, my wife has one and my son has another. So for a family of three we have six vehicles. This situation is not unusual."
Same in Poland and everywhere else in Europe. So it doesn't affect the statistics by much.

Correct. Looking at the article now, I believe that the folks at the Daily Mail mixed up ethnicity and citizenship somewhat.
Most Americans I know define themselves by the country their ancestors emigrated from by the way.

USA, Canada / Only one county in the USA has more Polish-Americans than any other group! [38]
When people arrived here, they were asked about their nationality and they freely (self-reported) said who they are. There was absolutely no reason for them to say they're Germans if they felt Polish and the other way around, especially knowing how they feel/felt about each other.
You know as well as I do that ....

you can't assure me TO but I respect your opinion ;-) Again TO, self-reported means, nobody told them what to say, they self-reported who they are, end of story. Really no need to argue, man. It is what it is. No matter how long we'll continue talking about it, nothing will change it anyway.
I assure you that most people gave their country of origin for the ship's manifest and when asked by the immigration officers at Ellis Island, not their ethnicity

Life / Why are Polish people so obsessed with race? [160]
I lived in Poland for a while and I can't confirm what you're saying. Sure, you'll always find someone who makes dumb comments but generally saying, I haven't met many Poles who talked about it but let's be honest, you didn't create this thread to discuss it, you created it to stir up some bs because you're bored ;-) I'm not saying, there's no racism in Poland but majority of those who hate other races, do it quietly, just like anywhere else.

Love / My wife has been secretly sending money back to Poland [16]
maybe you'll be surprised but I tend to agree with you here. My wife never had to work but if she did, she'd be eligible (she would be in any case and she wouldn't have to hide it, either) to help out her parents, to begin with. When you get married, your wife's family becomes yours and the other way around.

A. Holland is a perfect example of a Soviet "Pole". What she is saying is worth as much as a fart.
