Sydney 2 | 14 14 Apr 2009 #1Poles seem to be the sort that don't really mind for much and just seem to bumble along through life. Am I right?

Mr Grunwald 32 | 2,173 14 Apr 2009 #6Actually, that's what I thought about Scandinavians :)Hold on a second! We don't bump through life! We drink, party, don't belive in god and are fat damn lazy! Hmmm maybe you got a point there...
Torq 14 Apr 2009 #7Some people also say that we Poles are terrible procrastinatorsbut I'm going to prove them wrong and totally bust this myth...whenever I get some time... tommorow... or next weekend possibly......watch this space.

osiol 55 | 3,921 16 Apr 2009 #11Poland is the most buzzing place in the world. It's like a massive hive in the middle of Europe.
Wahldo 16 Apr 2009 #12Poland is the most buzzing place in the worldSomething tells me Poland isn't the only thing buzzing tonight.
mbiernat 3 | 107 16 Apr 2009 #13Poles do not bumble at all. I am Polish and everyone in my family is at the top of their field in the USA. My brother was on the top of Deutsche bank and Credit Lyonnaise, for example. My father ran one of the top ten largest companies in the USA. I run my own company. We are all Polish. I think the person who thinks Poles bumble is umm a bumbler, maybe a racist.
Mr Grunwald 32 | 2,173 8 Dec 2009 #16My father ran one of the top ten largest companies in the USA.Well congratulations to him!Great individual I bet on that

cheehaw 2 | 263 8 Dec 2009 #18one of these days I will get back to work. all my bumbling has left too much time on my hands and gee whizz all the bills paid too.heh.Y'aLL SHOULD BE POLLOCK BUMBLERS.I will list my awards at some later date.
Seanus 15 | 19,672 8 Dec 2009 #19I must say, I do see a lot of bumbling types on the streets. They walk without direction and without any urgency or purpose. Not a lot of work going on half the time, just complaining in shops.You can't closely follow people these days without due cause and precious few are intel officers. However, just watch people and think to yourself, 'what work are they really doing?'. I, for one, can't see anything remotely resembling work amongst quite a few here. Some are just too begrudging to work in teams so I applaud those that can. If complaining is work then they are at the top of the pile ;) ;)

PolishNutjob 1 | 74 6 Feb 2010 #23No.It would be incorrect to suggest that all Poles lack even a modicum of self-esteem.For example, as Dr. Seanus carefully explained above, some Polish experts have risen to the top of the hierarchy.
Foreigner4 12 | 1,768 6 Feb 2010 #24^ then I guess I can go back to my original pytania:Sydney:Poles seem to be the sort that don't really mind for much and just seem to bumble along through life. Am I right?as compared to?
Seanus 15 | 19,672 20 Feb 2010 #25The bumbling ones either aren't open to improving themselves or don't get the chance. I understand their economy of effort philosophy. They really undergo rigorous study programmes and often they don't get rewarded after. I really feel that some try and prop themselves up by increasing their pride but they many are torn inside and go abroad.
Ashleys mind 3 | 448 15 Nov 2010 #26They know how to imitate success, but there is something within that just wants to sit around, drink vodka, smoke cigarettes, and hide from the world...
noreenb 7 | 554 15 Nov 2010 #27"Bumbling along through life"?We work, have families, try hard to be someone, many of us have high motivation to enjoy better life.Bumbling... What a nonsense.A similar one? Do Afroamericans in slams "bumbling" through life?Yes, many of them do, but, they are just a little part of American society. Poles are nationality.Again, I have to say that I hate the title of the thread. Awful, harmful, biased and horrible +it's author presents a silly racializm.So, author, no, you are not right IMO.Tremendous minority do, about 90% don't. Like in most European societies.
Maybe 12 | 409 15 Nov 2010 #28I wished they'd 'bumble' when they drove, it would be safer for all of us.
wildrover 98 | 4,438 16 Nov 2010 #29I wished they'd 'bumble' when they drove,Half of them do....unfortunatly the other half think they are Kubica..the combination of the two is deadly on Polish roads...
