Where is loyalty of Polish diaspora in America? In USA or in Poland? What is priority? [63]
Every Pole living in America is either plastic, and not a real Pole, or a traitor. I learned that on this forum.
yes sirrrrr, this forums is informative like that...
PS - Hope you are well and that Canada is thawing out a bit;)
just re-froze.. lol
She is concerned about life's basic issues, the health of our family unit, the safety in our immediate community, and the price of milk. Heating costs haven't gone down and the temperature outside hasn't gone up.
your government crashing can't be a good thing
Crow:
Just curious to whom are loyal American Poles, on the first place.
They swore to do as America requires, including attacking Poland and Serbia if needs be.
We're in no doubt as to where their real loyalty lies.
you two are just babbling about nothing.. Polish Americans are just Americans, just as Softsong says in his post.
Punkt.
nothing new there Shawn.. both are punks, that's for sure.. the delph one has a mouth oh him too..
I am a Polish-American ........ I do not believe in serving "my country right or wrong" regardless of whether it is my current or my ancestral homeland.
seems you are neither Polish nor American just from that statement.
I'm having hard time imagining any decisions I make in real life where I would have to choose between loyalty to Poland vs US.
crow is talking about the evil american empire attacking poland in the nearest of futures.. what would you do in that condition? ;)
Well, being born an American, I never had to swear to anything. :-P
i guarantee you recited the pledge of allegiance to the flag at least once in all those years in school.. oops
So, then.....would I be a traitor to the USA to do this? Or a traitor to Poland to ignore this option. See? Not all things are so cut and dry as you make it out to be.
nah, you are mudding things up for him with all this reality and truth.. that's not how he and crow operate..
I agree
"me first".. definitely bud
Poles living in Poland don't seem to be very patriotic in a first place.
damn.. more facts to kill the grand delusions of deplh and crow.. sheesh girl.. ;) :D :D
do we all have to live according to some definitions made up by bored people?
not just some but crow and delph, yes. at least on PF.. this is their land..
should patriotism be unconditional?

devoted love, support, and defense of one's country;
national loyaltyNow you might have different ways of looking at your love for the country. But then this is why I say, we cannot really measure or categorize the feeling of patriotism such that we can make such generalized comments.
yes and you definitely should click the link above for the definition because you don't seem to understand what patriotism means. there was 0 talk of loyalty in your paragraph.. ZERO
I think some people here wish the real world was more like their video games - with clear distinctions between the good guys and the bad guys.
in some of the minds these distinctions are that clear.. there is no gray area.. haven't you been reading these forums for a while now? ;)
There are distinctions ... but often we don't look in the right dimensions ... we love to cover our eyes.
lol.. you do? yeah?
Good citizenship matters.
yes of course.. but so does understanding that.. and that is not 100% chance
