How many Poles visit 6gc.net forums?

To avoid discussion as in "Hmong" thread I give you an explanation - a Pole is someone with roots from Poland. Thanks to hard environmental conditions here in Poland (both physical and psychic), a Pole, even in third or fourth generation raised outside Poland is:
- questioning anything,
- fighting for everything,
- hard working,
- family loving,
- driving fast (even in vehicles that should not drive at all),
- vodka proof (almost).

So, disclose yourselves!!!

im part Polish and its funny cause you just described me too

my part of the family came to america from poland i believe right before the WWI still have some distant relatives in Poland... but haven't gone back yet hopefully within the next 2 years i make it over there

Haha i might be Polish?

"driving fast (even in vehicles that should not drive at all)"

I drive the hell out of my minivan!

i was born in poland warsaw. i came here when i was 8yrs old.

Ill be there this summer To think I grew up speaking polish and now its my 2nd language, if only there were more people to talk to around me other than my parents.
Ive got family in Warszawa/Krasnik and Wroclaw. I cant wait till the deliciousness that is wyborowa touches my lips again.
Oh and I dont know about that 3rd/4th generation bit, ive run into a few 1st gens that shame me, and I cant stand the ones that have all the pride, but dont know anything about poland except its capital.

haha these threads are so cool. interesting things in here. learn something new about other cultures

so...do you guys all get together when a lightbulb burns out? one to hold the bulb and about 20 to turn the car?

i was waiting for someone to make a polish joke

NOT FUNNY!!! j/k

i'm maybe 1/23 Polish but i guess thats not necessarily a bad thing

what exactly is this deliciousness you refer to as wyborowa neKronos???

I don't know I have any roots in Poland, however I grew up near Polish border (20km) so I heard Polish everyday from TV (TVP1, TVP2, TV Polonia) there were better telecast (TV program) than ours so I undersand Polish very well

well lets see my mom's dad was 1st kids from poland so that makes me 3rd or 4th gen I believe. Same with one of my best friends... We actually had a relative from poland come visit family here many years ago. My buddy's parents went to Poland last summer to meet family. I hear the place is really pretty

Wyborowa is my absolute favorite vodka, its really hard to find in Michigan, gotta go to Canada or Chicago. However I find the exported bottles to pale in comparison to whats sold in Poland. However I believe there was some buying and selling of the rights to the name and all that, because the rights to distill it have changed and that makes me disappointed. Because newer bottles are distilled by the Pernod-Ricard group under the Wyborowa SA(Used to be state owned I believe) Subsidiary, but I've seen and drank from old bottles of Wyborowa distilled and bottled by Polmos Bialystok SA [which is still stated owned but wont be for long ] Oh and no wodka is not just wodka.
However my main goal is to pick up a few bottles of spirytus TomPoz should know that .

Its a ****ing awesome place.

Wow, guys - you need to let me know when you come to visit Poland (malpaso - U2).
I will arrange nice evening in the old town of Warsaw with lots of Wyborowa.

All of you have forgotten to mention that Polish women are very beautiful.

Yeah, old joke. But I will give up revenge, my family in Chicago will handle it themselves.

Well, I would say the quality is comparable.
For sure, Ruta beats all the girls (Polish, Lithuanian, etc.), except for my wife, of course.
