Well you're lucky with your other half. My congratulations. My other half who is also Polish is a nightmare. Like many Polish women she's a total control freak. She puts her nose into all our mutual business... She MUST control anything connected with the flat, holidays, even my friends. Yet she freaks out if I start advising her what to do.



And you're still with her..........shows lots of intelligence there. You have the audacity to complain about her online, yet you won't stand up for yourself to her face. pathetic.

looked aweful in front of our new coach

See now, that's not a smile! What happened to "kick the ball with all your might", where others might be hurt?

Gym class has horrible rules. We are the last school that allows dodgeball. Everyone complains about scrapes and bruises.


YOU"RE NOT FORCED TO FUKING PLAY!!! SIT ON THE BLEACHERS AND WATCH YOU BIG FAT PUSSIES!!!!!


My friends and I laugh at each other's bloody noses and cuts that need stitches. Thes kids cry about bruises.


Word of advice to all future parents. MAKE YOUR KID PLAY A SPORT!!! Find a sport they like so they don't get soft like tomato

Nope. I think I might have ADD though. Can't pay attention to a teacher for more that 2 minutes. Everywhere else is fine

At least you are one Pole who never seems to be miserable, even if maybe it is warranted!

Why are all Polish people like 6 feet tall or more? Because you are probably still growing, and gonna get taller!
It like "land of the giants" or something!

We're not generally miserable so there must be another reason. Who are the smileys and why did PF remove them??? <insert smiley indicating that I'm not really taking the **** out of the post, just indulging in a bout of gentle messing cos I'm really rather bored this evening>

I've seen Polish people smiling, and even laughing and joking both in Poland, the UK and some points in between.
I'm English and in nearly 31 years, I've spent less than 3 months abroad. I smile frequently.
I've never seen a Russian smile, but I have not observed many.

russians, like americans, think they are better then everybody.. that's been my impression and they seem to have that aura

I have declared my flat (and garden) to be an independent state.
In my country, everyone smiles big, cheeky, genuine smiles!

The Point is that every major capital city in the world is full of miserable buggers, London, Paris, New York etc, so please do not show your ignorance by saying all Polish people are miserable, try Gdansk or Wroclaw before making small minded judgments. As for the many Polish people in the UK well have a think to your self how many people from England Scotland & Ireland live all over the world (millions). I am one very happy Scotsman now living in Gdansk the only thing I do agree with is the people from Warsaw are generally miserable

Well anyway lets find a miserable face Polish or non-Polish and smile (not grin that scares people) at him or her! Alternatively any miserable people out there need cheering up email me - DO NOT TAKE ANY DRUGS... just hug somebody!

I totaly agree with the author of this post . Just look at the avator pictures all girl's faces
look totaly serious miserable even, or ppl display animals - who can tell if that cat or dog
is smiling ....
I think polish ppl think that when one is smiling , loughing and happy in public one looks
or is stupid .
I remembr I used to laugh uncontrollably with my cusin about nothing - it always made her dad really mad and angry - told us to be serious and act with dignity and respect.

Mabe generally we smile when we are happy, not whenever whatever happens.
This is sometimes annoying , as I live in UK, and anytime someone is tired , doesnt like something, wants to speak, wants to have a break, doesnt like a tea etc he smiles and says it ok..all the live of appearances, but such a culture :)

Pozdrawiam

the polish are going through now what the brits went though after the war,i,m sure they come in time to the front, by sheer hard work as we brits did. nothing comes overnight,as for living in stonefaced gemany you might be better off keep nocking the polish ,anyway the germans and french have got sunbunrnt armpits and are to pushy to everyone else.

The Polish nation has been through hell for most of the last 100 years...Poland wasn't
even a nation in the political sense until after WWI when Pilsudski stopped the Red Army
at Warsaw...then, Poland was independent again...but then it was caught in the meat-grinder between the Bolsheviks & the Nazis, and was ripped up and divided between the two like a piece of meat...the country was ravaged & destroyed...at the same time,
you had a fifth column of another nationality living in Poland, who, even though the Poles had let them live peacefully for hundreds of years, spit in the face of the Polish
people and welcomed the Communists...but this is what happens when the criminals with the guns come and spread the fear...we here in America cannot even begin to com-
prehend such a history of events...so, after the fall of Communism, there appears to be
a new dawn...but yet, the Polish people, trying to rebuild, are hit again with a new force,
this time it's called Globalism...this is when foreigners come in and start buying up large
parts of your economy, because you just don't have the money to compete...maybe there are improvements; some people who were broke before are making money and
now you have Starbucks in Poland...maybe you have inflation, and everything starts getting more expensive...it is a never ending struggle...so, perhaps, many Polish people
who themselves and their families have experienced such history, seem miserable or cynical...life is hard...but, hopefully, the younger generation will be able to make a new Poland, that is for the Polish people, who are a GREAT & honorable people...may Jesus Christ shower His love and mercy on the Polish people & nation.
