♂

Sep 3, 11, 01:04 #1

Much has been said about the relevance/Polishness/Plastic pole etc elements here.

So now is your chance:

0 = nie

1 = tak

I'll do mine to be fair.

Were you born in Poland?

0

Do you have polish (i.e. Polish born) parents?

0

Do you live in Poland?

0

Have you ever lived in Poland for more than one year?

0

Do you speak Polish at least enough to have a conversation?

0

Do you have a Polish passport?

0

Have you ever been to Poland?

1

Do you have more than 2 Polish (i.e born in & lived there for most of their lives and have Polish parents) friends?

1

That will do for now.

next...

=Teffle]Much has been said about the relevance/Polishness/Plastic pole etc elements here. So now is your chance: Your questionnaire shows you are not a Plastic Pole like Ironside. In fact, you are not a Pole at all. Good! :):):):)

a Plastic Pole like Ironside. Now I'm definitely confused. I thought Mr Side was one of the most Polish people in the universe ?!

Tweaking the criteria some.....

Were you born in Poland?

0

Do you have polish (i.e. Polish born) parents?

0

Do you live in Poland?

1

Have you ever lived in Poland for more than five years? (better criteria than one year)

1

Do you speak Polish at least enough to have a conversation?

1

Do you have a Polish passport or permanent residence card? (leaves out EU people, but not sure what else would work)

1

Have you ever been to Poland?

1

Do you have more than five Polish (i.e born in & lived there for most of their lives and have Polish parents) friends? (again 5 is a better number)

1

That gives me a 6.

OK, not the most exciting of threads but notable maybe that none of those whose Polishness is doubted have stepped up...

Being Polish (or not being Polish) is a choice which people make via their own actions. Where one is born and to which parents is not one's own choice. And of course there are certain actions which automatically disqualify one from being Polish (e.g. renouncing all allegiance to Poland).

Errrm I'm English with a touch of Celtic thrown in - does that make me Polish? (Lepiej milczeć i wyjść na idiotę,niż odezwać się i rozwiać wszelkie wątpliwości!)
