This American loves the no nonsense look I have found in the eyes of polish women I've seen.I find it very enticing.Eyes,high cheeks

and strong hips.That is what I meant Jusia9.

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

LMAO I mean it.

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

Don't get me wrong American women are also extremely hot.Take a walk around Boston and tell me you won't drool.The beautiful thing about America is there are so many flavors to choose from in abundance.

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

Thank you,that was very insightful for me.His brother is somewhat of a crackpot from what I read on PF.Is he Still in Politics.Forgive my ignorance;But I'm trying to learn all I can about Poland.

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

But what has his twin been up to.Can anyone tell me?Is he still politically influential.

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

As I am not familiar with their politics;I couldn't say.What do the majority of Poles think of them.What American party would be the closest equivalent to theirs?What sites could I go to;that would explain the Polish political system the best.

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

ahhh it's refreshing to see that the political game is played the same every where.Now, how do I as an objective observer, sift through the propaganda and substantiate what's being said.I admire the articulation of Gregorz_ and johnnyM.Please cite sources?It would be much appreciated.If anyone can

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

thank you gumishu.This has been a very enjoyable thread.People are not so much clueless as apathetic.There is a wide gap between an honest politician and a good politician.Without the elite they can not exist.that really sucks.

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

Once again,Thanks for quite a stimulating as well as enlightening chat.there seems to be vitriol when discussing the twins.Before this thread I knew next to nothing about Kaczinski.I've been able to piece meal bits about his character here and there..A picture is forming.After I study more,If you will indulge me,I will also give my unbiased opinion.This how I learn best.

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

I didn't realize this was such a loaded topic.I guess political discussion is volatile everywhere.This was not my intention.I don't get riled up .

when it comes to politics.My willingness to learn sometimes exceeds my common sense.I apologize to the forum for this.

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

Did he manage to pull off an air of commonality with the average Pole?

History / Lech Kaczynski - was he a good leader? [88]

It seems to me he was uncompromising and based on what came out of his mouth,not exactly altruistic.I bet he would have fit right in

with a Communist regime.

Genealogy / Americans of Polish descent. How many of us are on Polish forums? [216]

Why would somebody have to live in Poland to prove that he/she is interested in Poland.I state it quite clearly I am AMERICAN of POLISH DESCENT.Why is it wrong to have an interest.I know I have family over there.If I could afford it I would spend some time in Poland.It sounds like

some of you give a lot of thought about your rhetoric.Don't be so full of yourselves.I want to live in America and I would like to visit Poland.

History / Poland and Britain started WW2 [307]

As if Hitler wouldn't have advanced either way it happened?

History / Poland and Britain started WW2 [307]

I wholeheartedly agree,thanks for the source

History / Poland and Britain started WW2 [307]

Ahh so chamberlain was really trying to appease Poland all that time.Gee I never realized that the Polish war machine posed such a threat.Thanks for schooling me.I guess even the German Historians missed that one.Let me guess,Japan attacked Pearl Harbor to keep us tied up so we couldn't help stop the Polish menace.lol

History / Poland and Britain started WW2 [307]

LMAO,good one

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

the Jews have constantly been persecuted since the early times.This is fact.During the black plague they were often killed as if they were the impetus for it .they cry victimization for a well recorded reason.It continues to this day.There may have been some Jews that have given some

legitimacy to this treat;But to say that as a race this is by ,to me and large to me is foolish.

History / Should Poland be given ANY credit for ALLOWING Jews into Poland for 1000 years? [195]

Once again I am fascinated by this bashing of Americans.I'm sure Poland has existed since time immemorial and it's ancestors came from no

where else and of course did not have to establish it's own national identity.Btw,how long has Poland been a unified cohesive state........

History / Should Poland be given ANY credit for ALLOWING Jews into Poland for 1000 years? [195]

It is not ignorant,arrogant or self serving to point out hypocrisy.As for Poland having been autonomous all this time......The U.S. has.I have absolutely no dislike for Poland.certain people post stuff that clearly berates America.It's as if they can'it distinguish the difference between

the people and the government.No matter how long it has been around;Poland has had immigrants and had to establish it's national identity.

My response is to people who say ignorant things about Americans.If you read my posts; you will see that I do not in any way try to berate

Poland or her citizens.The arrogance of some statements made on this site are laughable when pertaining to Polonia.We're all privy to hypocrisy,myself included.the question is are we aware.
