USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

Americans hate their neighbours more than they hate Poles.

American friend of mine told me once that maps in their school picture Canada a bit smaller than it actually is. They (not all of them though) hate outsiders, despite the fact that American population actually does consist of various nationalities, including Polish nationality.

As far as I've noticed, Canadian jokes are somewhat similar to Polish jokes. Some of them may be funny, some are offensive and based on stereotypes, but honestly, there's no point in arguing over trifles.

There are plenty of jerks in every nation. There are also nice, educated people that surely won't make such nasty remarks. People are different.

Love / What am i to do knowing i can't get to see my Polish daughter [10]

If I were you, I'd contact a lawyer and settle this matter in court. There are some law firms in Warsaw that provide service in english (as well as german), so you may want to contact one of those firms and seek legal advice on this matter.

It is against the law to prevent the parent from seeing their child, as parental rights may only be restricted by a court ruling. Even so, it would be good to contact your ex wife first and ask her to allow you to see your daughter. If she refuses, it would be wise to seek professional help.

Best regards.
