What do Polish people think of the USA

My GF likes it in the US,

My friend agrees. He did just get his visa so he is happy. He calls life here his Amercian Dream. He has gradure dreams of making millions. We will see. He likes his free time.

Maybe it's just where we were visiting. NY-NJ-NC.

In my opinion that is it. Both coast seem to have very fit people, but the Midwest has sevely obese.

So did you vote for Kerry in the last election? Did you vote for Gore in the election before that? Something tells me you sway a little more to the left than you are admitting;)

Thanks to the constitution of my country, I don't have to tell any for whom I voted. But if you must know, I would NEVER vote for Gore - his wife was behind a HUGE censorship campaign in the late 1980's and early 1990's and as an artist I am animately against censorship in any way. I would never want her anywhere near the White house again.

And Kerry was an unlikeable moron. That election was best described by Matt Stone and Trey Parker in the South Park episode Giant Douche and Terd Sandwich (or something like that.)

She was also wondering where all of the obese people were. She heard that there's an enormous obesity problem, but only saw a few here and there and didn't see it as big of a problem that everyone makes it appear to be. Maybe it's just where we were visiting. NY-NJ-NC.

lol. It's probably the media over there that exaggerates it. There aren't many obese people in CA either.

btw. we already have the NAFTA.. and who signed us up for that?

NAFTA is not the same as the NAU will be. BELIEVE ME! And as I said, Clinton wasn't perfect.

You're generalizing. I eat healthy as well as my family. Everywhere I took here she was given a healthy home cooked meal.

how else would one describe anything in a sentence or two? and i agree with bubbles to some extent.. people on the coast are thinnner but the further south you go the more weight you gain. lol

native: #2.. mexicans and other latinos come here regardless regardless of NAU.. we build fences and they find a way anyway.. why do you think that is?

Many of them die on the way - it's all desert there. If you took the hazards out of the 5+ day journey across the desert and removed any concern (and the guns aimed at the Mexican side of the border) about who was crossing that border, the influx would be staggering!

Completely agree with you!

Now that is funny!!!!:) I'll have to see if I can find that episode.

I stand corrected. My apologies:)

It's probably the media over there that exaggerates it.

I think the media over there (Poland) and Europe in general exaggerates about the USA.

I will say the people I saw in Poland were definitely more fit as a whole as opposed to the US, and being one who works in the medical field, I can tell you that obesity is a nationwide epidemic......seems though that even BW was surprised at the number of thin people he saw here.....as I said, I guess he assumed everyone was going to be at least 50 lbs overweight with a Big Mac in one hand and an apple turnover in the other. :)

Completely agree with you!

i'd rather have dealt with gore then the devil in there now. i'd rather see a little censorship then spying, suspension of habeas corpus, wars, misery, messed up economy, high gas prices.. etc.. etc.. etc..

Then I hope that that's how you voted. Furthermore, I hope you savored the liberty of the vote you cast. We may no longer have it soon enough.

but many also pay people to drive them across the desert. They don't all walk.

Most of them don't have the money for the driver service (I'm not kidding, it costs A LOT MORE). If you don't know, people pay for guides across the border. Oftentimes, people are told that it's a 2 day trip through the desert and they only bring a gallon (4.5 ltrs.) of water each. They often die of dehydration.

And even if they do have the thousands of dollars for a driver, sometimes they get left in the desert to die, locked inside the back of a truck. I always hear about that on the news. But obviously there is something about the US that people are willing to risk dying for.

As to America, your power should be moral power, of giving people freedom, after it you can take profit (McDonald invasion ;) ). But Iraq is wrong we are there with you but I think it is wrong war. That things shouldnt happen:

What is interesting Iraqs citizens are happy there is no Saddam now, but the way you done it ...

Now you will have to pay a lot to repire your reputation.

My bad.

All I think is that it was possible to win this war ...

Do you know that Iraq citizens calls our soldier when sb is planing to atack our base, just because we trate them as equal human, for example they can come to our base and ask our doctor for advice, normal human things.

At the beggining they had positve atittude towards you ...

To be fair, I work in a building that has a state of the art exercise facility, so I see fit people everyday.....but the place I was talking about was Broad Ripple......don't get me wrong, like you said, we live in a fatty state (#10 fattest out of the 50 states), and there is definitely a nationwide epidemic with obesity. Did we see obese people.....of course we did, but what is projected in Europe about the physical condition of Americans and what is actual reality are two different things.

The war on terror is a war that can never be won. It is simply a way to generate more money for 1. The Federal Reserve Bank (which is not owned or operated by the US - it is a private bank) 2. For those who own stocks in certain kinds of companies (oil, war machinery, etc.) and to keep the American people afraid enough to let the government take away our rights (The Patriot Act).

The Iraqi people are innocent bystanders in this war. We put Saddam in power and we needed someone to blame for 9/11 (which there is overwhelming evidence that it was done by the US government and if you want more info, just ask; I'll send you some links.) and since Saddam pissed the US off with the war in Kuwait, he got to be the scapegoat.

Maybe they are happier without him, but he is one of America's many monsters. They should hate the US government - they should want to see everyone in power here dead for the war they rage against them; I just hope they realize that the government here has not represented the will of the people for quite some time (kinda like Poland joining the EU when the vast majority of the people voted against it) and that as people, we aren't so different.

I don't know, it sickens me that this war ever started and it continues to make my stomach turn to think of how many innocent people are being killed (as I type this a military helicopter flies over me) in the name of an faceless enemy that can never be destroyed - especially when we keep fueling this enemy!

The moral power, to give the people the right to chose their future, and when I watch TV and see your discussion about cost of the war, or about atacks on petrol instalation there ... ehhh

i'm not so sure.. some are but many aren't.. we cut the monster's head off but it has many heads now.

that's what got us into the troubles we face now. your morals are most likely not even close to mine.

send them to me.. sadam had absolutely 0 to do with 9-11. i am not really all that sure what OBL did either. we have really no reason to be in IRQ except what you said.

No dear, there are REALLY simple things that happened (there are actual records of) that were done like the bomb-sniffing dogs being called off duty for the two weeks before 9/11 and other things like a plane disintegrating upon impact but people being identified by fingerprints and dental records - I mean, what kind of fire disintegrates a plane but leave fingers and teeth intact?!

So on and so forth.

I actually hate conspiracy theorists but if you look at the facts - **** the media - look at the FACTS, it's hard not to believe that Uncle Sam wasn't behind it.

And before you attempt to insult my intelligence again, I suggest you take a long, hard look at yourself.
