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

Poles are Slavs

And many other things that came into the mix since the establishment of a Polish state one thousand years ago.

Many Mexicans have Jewish ancestry, too

Some Mexicans have Sephardic Jewish ancestry. Some Poles have Ashkenazic Jewish ancestry.

Both countries are predominantly Roman Catholic.

I will say that Mexican cuisine is more enjoyable than Polish cuisine. ;-)

Love / Why do Polish girls and women look at me in a flirty way? [44]

What I simply asked was- Can I know why Polish ladies/ girls give me such flirty look depsite not being a 6-pack man nor Bieber or Ronaldo?

I would think the only girls that would give a flirty look towards Justin Bieber would be those from the pre-pubescent population.

Study / Shocking! Test standards in Polish schools. [165]

Is it possible to understand it too?

Probably not too many would. Then again, many college students get good grades in their calculus courses by solving problems but not actually understanding what they are doing.

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]

is it true that the Polish Jewish diaspora around the globe is still pestering Poland for "proper" monetary restitution/reparations (ex. $65 billion) for atrocities committed against them in WWII?

Well...for one Poland did fail to protect her own citizens of whom have as a result lost their property/lives...

Study / Shocking! Test standards in Polish schools. [165]

Well...I think it is possible for a 13 year old to learn basic differential and integral calculus. When I was 12, I learned limits and basic derivatives. I'm pretty good at math but I'm not a genius.

Love / POLISH WOMEN ARE PROMISCUOUS? DISCUSS. [153]

My guess is that they are not more/less than other slavic women. ;)

Slavic women in general are more promiscuous than most women.

What does complexity of the language has to do with the intelligence of its native speakers.

I'm not trying to imply there is some relation. I'm just saying, Finns are a bright bunch in general. When I was in Helsinki, all the Finns I met spoke English fluently. No European country I've been in compares to Finland.

And they are said to have the best education in Europe. They are leading in PISA.

The Finns are a very bright people. You truly have to be an intelligent person to learn their language fluently. Finnish has the most complicated grammar of any modern language.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]

I would rather people were able to choose freely which sites to go to, rather than the have governments telling people what's good for them.

Well, good thing your view is not shared by everyone.

the only thing about you that interests me remotely is why you visit a website focussed on a country which you know nothing about

I visit Europe usually once or twice each year. Poland is one of the countries I've been to and spent a substantial amount of time there.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]

and perhaps this forum which you and I are enjoying bickering on will
itself be a victim of ACTA or a much worse piece of leglislation to come

I would support legislation that would shut down all sites that condone racism (including this one).

Do they teach you latin in middles school? May I ask what for?

Here in America, Latin is offered in high school and sometimes middle school. One of the reasons students take Latin classes is because Latin students on average perform considerably better on the SAT verbal section.

Love / Is it acceptable for a Polish male to have a German girlfriend? [58]

Genetic diversity is mostly theory

Genetic diversity is healthy and it's a fact. There are many cases which prove it.

For example, let's say "XYZ" is a disease common to northern European populations and is passed on through recessive genes. If a Swedish woman carries the recessive gene for "XYZ" and decides to have a baby with a black man from central Africa where the disease is non-existent then their offspring has 0% of a chance of getting the genetic disease. Sure, there is still a 1/4 chance the recessive gene will be passed on to the baby but at least it has no chance of having the disease active.

Love / Is it acceptable for a Polish male to have a German girlfriend? [58]

Many Poles have some German ancestry (aka Gerpoles). The Polish-German intermarriage rate right now is extremely high.

As an American, I've had luck with many girls from different European nationalities. European women seem to love American men based on my experience.

the opposite situation is not common.

While it is true that German male and Polish female couples are more common than the opposite, it is absolutely false that Polish male and German female couples are not common.

News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]

This thread is full of ignorance. People are wrongfully blaming skin color and multiculturalism. Just to **** some of you off, I'll let you know I donate a lot of money to organizations that support multiculturalism.

Slavs do not seem to tolerate muslims in masses.

It's funny how there are millions of Slavic Muslims (i.e. Bosniaks).

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [451]

which part? Most people visit south of POLAND

I spent most of my time in the Warsaw area and Lower Silesia. Most people there had brown hair.

I know a few Poles and PolAms here in the States and most of them have dark brown or light brown hair.

For some reason, I get the impression that the OP is some neo-Nazi with an agenda to paint the image that most Poles are blond haired/blue eyed which is certainly not the case.

USA, Canada / Can you BE Polish without SPEAKING Polish in the US? [256]

Polish-American does not mean Pole.

Polish-American, as defined by the US Census, is any American citizen with Polish ancestry. That does not mean that person is Polish.

USA, Canada / Can you BE Polish without SPEAKING Polish in the US? [256]

Not necessarily, pip. Depends on which side of the Great Pond you were raised. I for instance was raised to regard myself as of American nationality, Caucasian race and Jewish faith, nothing more, nothing less.

It seems different American Jews state different things about this. Some say being Jewish can be an ethnicity while others reject that idea.

For example, Bill Maher considers himself "half ethnic Jewish."

He might get mocked for staying there, but no-one here would deny that he's Polish.

You can't blame him. What sane person would want to stay in a country where you can get fined for saying something bad about the Bible?
