Bad opinion about Polish people - rumour or the truth?

Not too far wrong i bet....

I had things stolen from me in Warsaw. My Mum had her wallet stolen in Gdansk.

oh the teevin scumbags

My son has had his heart stolen by a Polish Girl. Have they no shame?

That wasn't in Liverpool was it... ;-)

No that was his hub caps. They met in Egypt, carried on at uni in Liverpool and have now moved to Vancouver where she is doing her masters and he is wasting his education writing love poems in very bad Polish and working in various temp jobs.

Nope,don't have anything negative to say about Polish People....I also hate it when people generalize the entire Polish Population.

If a Tourist came to Los Angeles and had his things stolen,does that make all Americans thieves???

Couldnt have happened to a nicer person :) I bet he had a grand old time of it with that 40p :)

Fine with me.


LMAO

My personal opinion goes for every nationality in the World including my own.

Good manners never go a miss :-(

I can't either just like I can't say anything negative about any people around the world. Nations are not good or bad but some people are.......but they don't represent the whole folk.

Germans in general do not like Slavs whether they are russians or czechs or polish.They do not like slavic mentality and want everything planned,organized etc.That is why they are not fond of Poles.
The Russians also dislike Poles because they think they sold themselves to America instead of cooperating and being allies with their slavic brothers like Belarus.
The Czechs have a neutral or negative opinion about polish because they sent troops to Prague in 1968.They also dislike church influence etc.
The Slovaks like Poles.The ukrainians mostly like Poles.(not everyone) as richer neighbours,tourists,export destination.
In meditteranean countries Poles are popular(hard working men and spectacular women).

In the United States, Polish people & Polish-Americans are respected by other nation-
alities...the main problem is that Polish people need better PR about Polish history &
culture, both historical & emerging...I recently found an interesting web-site about
the current Polish jazz/improvisational music scene, that had a lot of really interesting
groups featured on it...as a musician/composer myself, this was encouraging & is some-
thing that should be promoted as an example of modern Polish culture/arts...the only
group of people who seem to harbor resentment against the Poles in America are cer-
tain elements of the Jews, especially those in the media, as they completely dominate
American media at all levels...but, of course, these folks still bare a grudge because Poland didn't want to change it's name to 'Israel'...but, then again, the Governor of the
state of Pennsylvania, where I live, is Jewish (Ed Rendell), and he has supported many
Polish cultural/economic causes & enjoys support from the Polish-American community.

Hang on, I thought no one liked the Germans?

Nein, My advice is to take everything with a pinch of salt. I mean steriotypically I should have aweful dental hygeine and be drunk most of the time. thats only half true...

I had my phone stolen in Budapest, from a hotel room, 1000USD stolen from a luggage at the Moscow aiport and a phone stolen in metro in Warsaw. But hey guys this does not make me think Hungarians or Russians are thieves! Its ratheer stupid me leaving things in places where can be easliy stolen!

The Russians always the Russians..

I remember I experienced wonderful reception as a Pole in the US. People in the streets or shops, upon getting to know I am Polish, were expressing their fondness of Poles in general. That was wonderful, never heard one bad word. I got the idea that Poles in the US are known as hard-working, ethical and friendly. Plus that Polish girls are always stunning and a great wife material :D
I think it is worse in Europe - met the most horrible predjudice in Sweden, the most horrible part was that it was expressed by a college professor in the middle of classes, in front of 20 other students (mostly Swedish). I always like to think, though, that predjudiced people are exceptions - and you can find idiots anywhere. I don't give a damn about them.

I don't think Poles are thieves, I think Romany gypsies (Romanians) and Irish Itenerants are. untermensch

I agree im not Polish but believe me most countries speak bad about the Poles.

This is not true.Russians,Germans mostly speak bad about Poles.The others consider Poles to be hard working,decent people.

Yes hard working and sexy woman that all !!!! Some say the Poles are dirty and rude , but i dont believe it i think you Poles are cool.

I don't think of anyone as being sub-human :/

Its an opinion I hold of nearly all peoples I know - I wont let minority of individuals spoil a national view.

Daffy, you always makes my day with your very clever comments.

THAT IS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO OLD COME ON MAN GET WITH THE TIMES!!!!

Why does it bother you??

out of all the things you could comment on you choose something that is one year old!!!!! lol, whats wrong with 'current' stuff :)

not interested...

Germans said that?
Their sense of humor is underestimated :)
