plebiscite
How do you people know that us from Silesia want to be part of Germany or Poland. Maybe we just want Silesia back. So we can just be ourself.

Its strange in Poland and no one smile to strangers. It's not rudeness.

Poles can find a way. ;) :D

this is why you got the "huh?"
Hard to complain about Nigerians in PL

Huh? I am not quite getting your meaning...

that's rather sad.. you needed better "guides" from what it sounds like.. next time you do consider going back, check back in and ask for help.. folks here won't steer you wrong.. also, there are quite a few threads asking for guidance for tourists here already.
yes but staring is rather common, like he said.
i agree on the smiling thing but as others have said, it is not a polish thing either.. i have that issue still and i have lived in the states for quite a long time.. people still ask me why i am pissed off.. lol.. and i hardly ever am.
nothing wrong with staying for short visits but one may want to read up on PL and the local customs so one isn't all surprised..
is there something wrong with that?
I don't think I would ever go back.

It's hard to understand Polish people if you're not Polish, we have a different mentality, being loud on the street yelling or talking loud means being trashy, you don't stop or bother someone you don't know, or stare at them.
yes but staring is rather common, like he said.
But people should smile more, it's kinda depressing looking at that, some have a look like they've just about had it with life and wanna commit suicide, their depression can make you depressed.

Understandable, as I said, Poland is good for long visits/stays/living, not so much for short visits. It's just not that kind of place.

USA, Canada / PolAms -- do you regard yourselves only as 'white Americans'? [187]
because maybe "they" are polish and not one of those? how about that?

wtf would a limey know about Polish ancestry.. it's rather laughable how you are senselessly arguing these points when you aren't even from PL..
that's just stupid.. nobody can trace their lineage that far even if we tried.. are you that thick, really?

Why would you consider yourself Polish, when these ethnicities have their own countries today?
because maybe "they" are polish and not one of those? how about that?
You're the idiot if you can't work out that someone who came from Russia/Prussia/Austra-Hungary didn't come from Poland, but rather one of those three countries. They might have been Polish, but they certainly didn't come from Poland unless they were born before the partitions!
it was occupied PL, you dolt
The chances of you being ethnically 100% Polish isn't very likely

Can you trace your lineage right back to the founding of the Piast dynasty? No?

actually you just proved that it is.. i didn't say i didn't agree because i do but i asked you about the positives and you couldn't really come up with anything.. so, your outlook may be something you ought to look into.
pretty friendly places.. hmm
even more so.. if he's from "happy" culture then one would presume he'd look for "happy" things yet he all he did was concentrated on the bad stuff. just my observation.
not really comparable.. all those you mentioned are more realistic about their countries then most poles about poland.

Too many people have no knowledge of homosexuality other than soem silly slogan like 'gay is OK', ignoring the diverse physical, psychological, ethical, public-health, political economic and demographic aspects of the question.

that is really what this thread is all about anyway.. bzib just wants to be right so she's picking on the one instance where MG had an issue that maybe didn't necessarily neatly fit.. this complaining by PLish immigrants about other (legal) immigrants, whether be it USA or GB, can be read throughout PF.. this one particular incident is not out of the norm at all.. and yes, i find it bizarre as hell..
the other thing about illegal immigrants: during the communist times most of poles were illegal at first anyway.. many had to sneak out of poland.. so bltching about illegal ones is also kind of two faced, if you ask me.
In UK it is interesting to hear established members of long-term migrant communities, like Sikhs, Indians and, to some extent, post-war Poles complaining about new influxes of migrants getting benefits they never got.

where the hell do you get this info from? sheesh.. Wroclaw from the beginning was a Polish city.. and yes, germans occupied it for a period or two or even three but it was founded by poles and thus should be Polish.
Gdansk wasn't all german like you want all to believe at the start of the war.. why do you think the first salvo of the war was there? germans wouldn't attack their town first, would they?
did PL really start that one?

supposedly tacky here in the USA too but sure as heck has always worked great for me. i'd say, personalize it and make it uniquely yours. :)
For example, I have read that over 80% of job seekers include a photo of themselves on the top right-hand side of their CV. Now, doing so would be really tacky in Australia, so naturally I am hesitant. In your experience, is this true?

There is no such thing as "Polish blood".
How far would you go back? Do that for a couple of generations (both father's and mother's side), and you might end up being an Irish-German-British-Polish-Russian-French-Dutch-Belgian-Martian American. This whole ethnicity concept is completely BS if you think about it.
