Poles like Czech and French...

Lydie...I don't see why....there are a lot of extreme views on the board, attracts all sorts of miscreants and electronic bigots, am sure you'll be fine.

PS You don't have to travel abroad to experience prejudice........I get enough of that from my wife!!

Thanks we are really looking forward to it. I'm trying to find out as much as I can about Poland and just found this forum today. It's a great source of information.
Thanks again. Lydie

ask any question you want... there are sure to be plenty of answers...

where are you going...?

This I can not understand. It is very rare to find a Polish person who speaks French and I have never known there to be any connection between the French and the Poles.

from my short observation (2months as i back topoland on holidays) with family -polish people loves muslim unfortunatelly it work polish woman-muslim guy and polish man -muslim girl .. polish mans oftn dont like muslim

Honestly I doubt It...

And polls like the one I posted show that most don't like Muslims... but indeed this is rather about general image of nation/religion than about individuals, Poles for exampel like British, but the way many of them behave make them have a much bigger chance of coming home with broken bones after a trip to Poland than any Muslim... but still Poles like British, because UK is a western country, our ally in NATO and UE, they let us work in their country etc.

Why, what will happen, will an Englishman fall over a pathing stone? Come off it, you know as well as I do how the Poles like to talk but not do...

Do what... ?

would u link the working in 'their' country as a display of the notion o fslavery in a different context..? id this a legal form where people are exploited becasue of their requirement to earn money and their ability to work hard


a general statement.. arnet there about 40-50 million of us in the world.. do u have represntaion reliablity.. i believe u need to conduct additonal studies..

Muslims ? Many more than that.

my respected brother, i meant people who categorise their natioanlity as polish

So you say you are Polish ? I doubt It.

We had this conversation with adilski before.I do not know why he wants to pass out as Pole.He said he was born in former Soviet Union.

Whats the first thing comes in to your mind when you think of Poland? This question is for anyone who wants to answer it.

My PL wife has a cousin who married a Frenchman, they have a child. I think there was a connection made...
:-)

Poland has a million Polish residents, it was the biggest community of Poles outside Poland and the US.
I know several Pols who live in France.

the connection between the magyars and the finns is taht they both came from the central asia. their culture is the same and the languages that they speak are very similar.

well, more THAN HALF of my friends speak french. Beside of english ofcourse. In Poland , when you are choosing your second language, its mostly french or german. Spanish is less popular.

And ofcourse historicaly speaking there was a lot of connections , agreements , aliances (?is that a good word?) between Poland and France. Now its not that strong, since Poland is supporting England, and England as a country supporting USA doesn't have such strong connotations (?again - good word?) with France as it had before. So , to sum up, Poland, because of the political connections doesn't have much in common with France any more, but the history is not something you can erase just like that.

Related yes by language (very distant cousins really I don´t understand word of Hungarian ) but culture ? Hungarian culture is quite far away Finnish, Hungarians has been influenced by neighboring Slavs, Romanians and Turks. While Finns have been influenced by Russians and Swedes. We also don´t have a common mytholgy.

About Polish-Hungarian friendship: maybe it was Stefan Batory, Jagiellos on both thrones and Jozef Bem a Polish general and one of the heroes of 1848 Hungarian rebellion, that sparked frienship despite linguistic differences. :)

dunno about chech but i love italians, their sexi accent mmmmmmm lol jk

Actually, I have just come back from France and was thinking that France would be a good place for the Poles. Nice weather and good food-the young women there like to look nice and wear nice clothes-very much a Polish thing too. It would be a better place for the Poles than England perhaps. Oh yes, I am sure that with the right amount of money and/or future a Polish woman will latch herself on to almost anybody. Have you ever heard of an Eastern European not knowing a good thing when they see it?!

Except, as much as I love it, France is a very racist country. My French friends in the UK(and there are 400k French in the UK) insist that racism is very bad there. The 'Polish Plumber' is a vision of horror to the French.
The other thing that makes work difficult in France is the very regimented education to work system. You can only work in in the job you have been trained for, you can't expand you career into other areas. Its stiffiling.

French women dress nice, but in the south of France crime is a real problem that the Police cannot control they are scared of confronting the criminals in case they are accused of racism and start a riot.

I don't know the exact details, but I think the Poles were on the same side as the French during the Napoleonic wars!!

Yes...

The Poles are on anybody's side as it suits them

you could say that about almost every nation. Wonder why anybody could have such a low opinion of a nation and in particular a misogynistic one about the female of a nation and then marry one? I would think the wife of such a person were they to be writing negative things about such a person for example ones wife or girlfriend that this persons wife or girlfriend was seeking some sort of gratification elsewhere or if she wasn't, one couldn't blame her if she did.

She does, she goes home at least once a year to see her family. Can she not? Its her country, after all. What is your right to be there then if she can not go?

When I was a student in Krakow in 1985 the Americans, and there were many there with me on the same course had the most low and degrading opinions about the Poles and their country-I should know as I even shared a room with one for six weeks.

And why the hell do you think that anyone here cares what you or some "Americans" think ? Dude, you're a joke.

This shows a problem in your posts. You seem stuck in the past and that is why it is difficult to take you seriously. Poland has moved on a lot since 1985. If you are going to involve yourself in debate it would help to bring yourself up to date. Americans I have met, in modern Poland, have a positive opinion of the country.
This post will probably go over your head, as you enjoy flaming so much.
I challenge you to say something nice about Poland and its people.
