Love / Polish women USED TO BE much more attractive: [162]

Lol, I disagree

I live in a mostly Polish area in New York right now, and thus there are quite a bit of Polish girls in my school. I wouldn't call any of them ugly, in fact, they're pretty hot. It's also nice that they can somewhat understand me, because that gives me a slight advantage over the other guys

The thing I learned about Polish girls is; either they are really hot, or they are really ugly, no in between

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]

VOLODARSKY/VOLODARSKI: Have no idea what this means, my mom claims it's Jewish

"My surname is Szczucki, that is from my father."
Haha awesome, that means you're a carnivorous fish in plural form

Life / Worlds most liveable cities (Krakow or Warsaw don't even hit the radar screens) [104]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Dublin. It is a very clean and friendly city. I went there, and people have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. A lot better than the overrated town across the river known as London

Well the word "nowy" means new, so Nowik would probably mean something along the lines of "new man" or "new person"

Don't know what "Serok" means, sorry

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [396]

"What do Poles owe to Germans?"

Hundreds of years of suppression and the worst genocide of the 20th century

I think Germany would like it if Poland decides not to pay back the "debt"

Polonia / What similarities would you say there are between Poles and Mexicans? [132]

Both countries have some of the best food in the world

Residents of both countries are considered to have very good work ethic

Both countries have very questionable neighbors to the East

Life / If I'm agnostic, deist, atheist - can I say that to Polish people in Poland? [72]

The only bad religion is extremism

Most people in Poland will not have problems with you being atheistic, as long as you don't rub it in everyone's face, because nobody likes that. In fact, Poland is a lot more atheistic compared to countries such as USA or United Kingdom. As in every country in the world, there will be some people who are bothered by that, and that is completely normal, because you cannot expect every person in the world to tolerate you, unfortunately

News / "Lack of Common Sense in Politics and Society" - political correctness in Poland [32]

I steer left on the political compass, but I don't like the excessive Political Correctness in America. It's evolved beyond civility, and turned into flat-out censorship. Sure, saying the you-know-what-n-word isn't very good due to its extensive racist connotations, but what's wrong with calling a mean woman a b****? Or calling a mean guy a d***?

Racist words have also been taken to a new level, as now it's considered an offense to say "Jew". What the hell, I'm Jewish, and I'm not offended by that word at all
