News / Poland fines singer for bashing Bible [159]

expressed by one of your pop-singers would that still be acceptable exercise of freedom of speech ?no consequences of law suits would follow?

No legal consequences would arise from that.

America is a much better country than Poland is in terms of freedom of speech. Get over it.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

EM is an african.

Shall I start calling myself an African-American (with white skin) since I was raised in America and I am an American citizen?

I am intrigued, how fat have they been?

I wouldn't take what he says seriously. He's from a redneck state. His sense of American women is a bit out of touch. It's true that America has an obesity problem but Europe is starting to catch up.

Anyway, fat girls (in the civilized parts of the USA aka anywhere but the south) don't dare to show up to night clubs, bars, etc. so you don't have to worry about them.

Ha! You guys have got a case of sour grapes if I ever saw one! You musta got burned by some Polish chick, and now you're angry. Polish chicks are by FAR in better shape, and take better care of themselves than Americans. EASILY.

So you decided to get a Polish girl because the only American girls you could get were the fat ones?

I've never witnessed a Polish chick wearing pajamas to the store

Nothing wrong with that. It's very common for young (especially teenage) girls to do that.

Most are ugly but they think they are beautiful.

Haha this is very true for Polish women. It's absolutely hilarious when an ugly Polish girl acts like she's hot.

You couldn't PM her?

As an American, I view Polish women as somewhat strange. They usually are less educated than West European women based on my observations. Some are good-looking, some are decent-looking, and many are ugly/pig-faced.

Language / Polish language would look better written in Cyrillic Script? [212]

I don't really see much of a problem with Polish using the Latin alphabet. Reading and writing in the language is still for the most part very phonetic. At first glance, Polish looks terrifying because for a native English speaker it looks like someone started smashing a computer keyboard. However, reading goes very smoothly once you practice enough times and most of the time you can pronounce a new word correctly.

English on the other hand is a very orthographically chaotic language. If anything, English would benefit more from a new writing system than Polish would.

News / Poland fines singer for bashing Bible [159]

Remind us - what country is the focus of a massive online protest today?

1.) SOPA was introduced by a Texan Republican. It has not been passed yet (and probably won't be). Whereas, the law in Poland that will get you fined for having a low opinion about the Bible is very much real and in effect.

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

^That might have been the same guy that made a joke about German prostitutes. Basically, it was about how an American man came to Germany to try out a German prostitute. He couldn't find one though because there were no German prostitutes in Germany. All of them were Polish/East European.

I almost fell off my chair the first time I heard that one.

I believe there's nothing wrong with pointing out how ridiculous it is that you can be fined in Poland for saying a negative opinion about a religious book.

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

Man I'm Polish born and bred living in the States, still speak and read it fluently. As for people born here of course they are. Blood is thicker than some piece of paper.

If someone was raised in a Polish cultural setting and speaks the language, then I see nothing wrong with them saying "I'm Polish." However, it sounds stupid if that comes from someone who isn't culturally Polish and doesn't speak the language. I'm not buying the blood thing either as "Polish blood" is really just mixed blood. The history of Poles began with West Slavic tribal people establishing a Polish state over 1000 years ago. Since then, many ethnic groups came into the mix.

Yes, Italian-Americans are by far the worst when it comes to this "ethnic pride" bullshit. Those claiming to be Italian first should be rounded up and deported. Scumbags like that don't deserve to live in America. Note: I have nothing against Italian-Americans and this problem certainly isn't exclusive to them.

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]

Nope

The European colonization of Africa definitely damaged the continent significantly.

But you and your family benefited from apartheid, right?

Anyone with white skin didn't have the disadvantages of black people. Thanks for that rhetorical question Captain Obvious.

Dont lecture people from countries, whose ancestors have no history of colonialism, when it is YOU and YOUR family whom have benefited from it.

Please...Europe benefited from colonialism is many ways on the economic level.

You hypocrite.

Actually, I do donate a lot of money to African charities. I also support bigger benefits for African-Americans from affirmative action.

Love / Problem with a brutal American guy (now I live in Poland) [88]

Midas:
I have a feeling however that's one of these topics that contain a lot of nonsense and the piece of information everyone is supposed to walk away from is that Jews are evil human traffickers...

I seem to be getting that idea too judging by the incoherent posts. It also seems to be attacking American men who are in general actually a lot more kind than Polish men and a hell of a lot more physically attractive.

Life / Why is Prostitution still legal in Poland? [106]

I was on the phone with a friend of mine the other night and I talked to him about prostitution in Poland. He cracked a joke and said that if prostitution was banned in Poland, most of the young women would be unemployed hahaha.

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]

Plenty of Africans, north Africans, Arabs, west Africans there and even a few white fools thrown into the mix.

The instability in Africa is largely due to the fault of European colonialism. I know many racist white people choose not to admit this but it is true. Furthermore, South Africa went through many years of apartheid which was supported by the descendants of those British and Dutch colonialists who came to SA. Are you really surprised by some of the racial tensions that go on in South Africa today?

Besides, America is my home and it's very diverse despite what some uneducated Europeans might think. In fact, it's a hell of a lot more diverse than any European country. According to the 2010 US Census, only 63.7% of Americans are non-Hispanic white. I've met several Europeans who have some strange image of America as if the percentage is more like 90+.

Food / PIZZA & KETCHUP served only in Poland? [159]

Hahaha, here in America we have plenty of Italian pizza places so don't try to start nonsense. Polish pizza is garbage just like most Polish food.

Genealogy / Why Polish aren't white?? [272]

In that case, how come Afrikaners haven't turned black by now?

Just a note: The sun isn't really that strong in South Africa, nor is it hot. I used to live in Cape Town and it was colder there (during the Summer) than it is in New England where I currently live.
