“[In Lithuania] there are Russians, Belarusians, Jews, and they are all ‘more Lithuanian’ than the [ethnic] Poles [residing there],” Ambassador Zakareviciene told the agency.

for not being loyal to authorities in Vilnius

Maybe they don't wanna be Lithuanians.

What did I say on the other thread about Poles in Lithuania? They're mad that Poles have been living there in large numbers for 2 centuries

Would you, please, expand on this one, PennBoy?

What does Lithuania have to offer? Rich culture and tradition perhaps?

For 5 centuries.

Maybe they wanna live in Lithuania but like they have been doing for centuries, as Poles not assimilating, mixing with the general population. For fear of losing their identity and forgetting that they're Poles. That's what the Lithuanians are afraid of too.

But they are not Poles. If you are living in a country for 2 or 5 centuries - this is your country!!! Let's say I am a Ukrainian through my parents born in Chili. Then Chili is my country. I respect the traditions of my parents, but at the same time I am a Chilian, above all.

language and culture.

No joke serious. American born Polish girls who will only marry a Pole

Why the hell they live here if they feel that way?

Face it, she didn’t want to have anything to do with you or your friend, whatever – you were simply not her type.

What are you talking about?

I heard what you said but what’s the reason behind it especially for someone who was born there and has trouble speaking the language in the first place? Sounds like you simply can’t stand rejection even if you do speak broken Polish.

I was born in Stalowa Wola came here when I was 9,

let's use the proper name of the nazi statelet

And still given a boot

OK I understand that completely but what if your parents taught and raised you as a Ukrainian???

I know some girls who were born here (America) and refuse to marry anyone other than a Polish guy because they want their kids to be Polish and speak it just like their parents taught it to them.

What kind of parents raise a distrophic child like that?

Let them have a kid and the kid might be barely speaking Polish; nothing to say of his kids. Because they have THEIR country and not their parents'.
It is a problem brought upon the Poles themselves: the kids were born in Lithuania. This is their country. You want them to remember their heritage - fine, but don't cross the boundaries: don't make those kids feel themselves foreigners in the country of their birth.

What`s wrong with Lithuania? What happened to them in the meanwhile? During Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, they were quite normal, in panic because of Germanic and Russian di**s but, normal. Poles and Serbs then intervened and saved them and Lithuania was thankful. Did Lithuanians forgot who saved them?

But they are not Poles. If you are living in a country for 2 or 5 centuries - this is your country!!! Let's say I am a Ukrainian through my parents born in Chili. Then Chili is my country. I respect the traditions of my parents, but at the same time I am a Chilian, above all. If there are some that are incapable of learning language or respecting traditions and culture of the country of birth - then it is their problem and a shrink might be of help.

No such thing as Ukrainian, there's Poles, Russians and monkeys inhabiting Ukraine, you're either a Pole a Russian or a monkey :))

I don't know why some Poles in Lithuania don't want to learn Lithuanian when Poles in general were good at assimilating and learning the language of most countries they went to.

am i sensing German influence on Lithuanians? Germany is NATO`s and EU`s watchful eye over Poland

For 5 centuries? What kind of parents raise a distrophic child like that? If that child is to live in a country he was born in, then why in the hell not teach him the culture of the birthplace, besides their own fairytales?

I agree. People who choose to live in a country should learn to speak that country's language and assimilate. I don't know why some Poles in Lithuania don't want to learn Lithuanian when Poles in general were good at assimilating and learning the language of most countries they went to.
