USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]


No because I don't worship the Great Satan like many misguided people I know. I lived in America long enough to know the difference between some drunk fool that sputters off some Polak joke just to try to get a laugh and a wink out of you and someone who calls you a dumb Polak with actual venom in their voice just because you said something they didn't particularly like. And I'm not talking about one isolated ******* I came accross at a lame party, I'm talking about many wonderful Americans I have come accross. But I prefer the jokes Germans tell about Poles- I'd rather be jokingly known as thief than a retard.


So maybe there are, I was just answering Osiol's question. He asked what Americans think of Poles...

We were/are seen as stupid dolts, hence the dumb Polak jokes you often hear all over the USA. Not only among the idiots you see standing around the keg at a frat party, but also in the press ( I have seen Polak jokes in Stuff magazine). Maybe we are stupid, we have a habit of worshipping and idolizing the same people who cut us up right to our faces. Pathetic.


Probably because they don't need to. Their standard of living is just as high plus they even get free health insurance. Why do you think Poles willingly go to Germany to work, but almost no one from Poland goes to Ukraine or Moldova to work?

why insane? there are more and more tourists arriving in Poland as time goes on (even Warsaw seems to be crawling with tourists and backpackers lately), if you're going to do it do it soon before the market is flooded..

USA, Canada / What do Polish people think of the USA [287]


He did have a reason. One of them was oil. If you don't believe me, even Alan Greenspan recently came out of the closet and said it publicly. Iraq is a huge oil producer and the first thing the US did after it invaded was secure the Iraqi oil ministry, while Baghdad sank into lawlessness. The oil ministry was immediately privatized and sold off in chunks to BP, Exxon-Mobil, etc. The other reason, of course, is that there are billions if not trillions to be made in reconstructing in rebuilding a country that you have just spent months fcuking up.

Now, if you want some coffee-sipping reading, here are the parallels hinted at:

Before Hitler invaded Poland, he spent weeks moaning in public to the Gemran people about how terrible the Poles and the Polish govt. were, and how terribly the German minority in Poland was being treated (Then on the eve of the invasion, he staged a fake Polish army attack in Gliwice as a pretext for invasion, but I'm sure you knew that already). Sound familiar?

Hitler's officer corps gave their various military operations lofty names such as "Operation Free Europe" "Operation Swift Justice" and other absurdities. Sound familiar?

Polish resistance fighters were refered to as "terrorists" in the German press. Sound familiar?

Most of Hitler's sidekicks and generals had business interests in the military-industrial complex (such as Krupps, IG FARBEN, etc) and they directly profitted by invading countries and then rebuilding them. Cheney, Bush, Rummy, Wolfowitz and company all have stakes in companies that are VERY active in Iraq. Sound familiar?

The parallels go on and on. Hitler, like Bush, had dilusions of grandeur and both men were convinced that they are not only fighting to better their countries, but to better the world. Of course if you are a fan of Reagan or Bush, it doesn't make you a bad person, nor does it make you ignorant or stupid. In a free country you can support whoever you like. In Hitler's Germany, lots of academics, scholars, business leaders and other notables were convinced he was a lovable genius until the Red Army was at their doorsteps. Another future parallel? The dollar is now worth less than the Canadian Loonie and China is America's main creditor. I would worry...

Its a nation started by opportunisitc bankers who took a good (bad) example from other Europeans and smote the natives into submission (American Indians). As a liberal free-market domain it is run by banks and big business, and the will of the people is either disregarded or manipulated so that they themselves don't know what they want (example: healthcare). The women are fat and the men are clueless and arrogant and they love telling dumb-Polak jokes even though most of them couldn't find Poland on the map. (just generalising). Also, interestingly Americans are convinced that they are the only free"democracy" on the face of the Earth and have a duty to spread this good word to the rest of the poor ignorant masses around the globe. But other than that, it's a swell place, great people, but I wouldn't really want to live there.


Terror is a tactic not an enemy, and that's not liberal propaganda - it's simple logic, which I am a great fan of. Fighthing a war on terror is like fighting a war against bad haircuts. It's nothing more than an excuse to extend America's power and make a lot of money in the process. A loooooot of money. That's great that some Poles consider themselves "patriots" because Polish troop presence in Iraq gives them a boner. But if you don't see the parallels between the US invasion of Iraq and Hitler's invasion of Poland, then go open a history book (you don't even have to read between the lines...)

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


I love it because its the only place in the ******* world where people pronounce my name correctly and I don't have to answer the question "How d'ya spell that?" every God dmaned day. I love it because its home, even though I spent 2/3 of my life abroad I came back to be home, where the heart is.

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]


Stealing is one half opportunity and one half desire. Take away the opportunity and presto your stuff is still there, because desire alone doesn't cause break-ins. Can't take away the desire, though...that's just human nature. But looks like Irish just points the finger at the poverty-level scumbags while forgetting all the rich twats who steal (ie, fraud, white collar crimes, etc) not because they need it but because they wallow in gluttony and greed..

Life / What Polish people think about the Italian and Spanish men? [39]

Polish girls think that Spanish and Italian men are just playboys or playboy wanna-bes looking for a quick lay, if you want a brief analysis of conventional wisdoms and stereotypes. And Polish men think that Spanish and Italian men come here to steal our girls...
