That's true. You have to work with what you have and roll with it. I have red hair but I would have chosen it at birth had I had the choice. It's others that give it a bad rap but I love it.

Hahaha. There is a building company here in Poland called Manko. Oops!

I might have to call you pachinko (pinball).

Hey a building company in Poland?!?!?!
I thought they all moved west!

What do polish builders use for scaffolding?
.....
It must surely be against human rights eh!

(hope not to offend my Polish friend)

I'm not Polish, I'm from the land of some of the best inventors

Yeah, it's a building company I think. What are your perceptions of Poland? It'd be interesting to know. I can speak the language and read it. Still, I'm not a national of this country.

Poland has had a very hard struggle due to its location amid more greedy neighbours and less fortunate contries. Also a very difficult internal history.
Its people are classed as agricultural although is has a very strong history of innovation and manafacture the people are still viewed by the west as pesants.
Poland exports much needed skills and manpower to the west in return for a good days wage, although this has now changed and many polish can now find a good wage at home.

Many polish jews fled from the country to america (less to England) and have made a good life for themselves and their children while still retaining their polish roots. Many western shops now stock a range of polish foods and drinks for the expats.

Poland in my book is a country that has bred many good and strong people and suffered many poor times.


Btw, I am English from dutch decent

That about sums them up. They will fight in the face of adversity. Still, racial tolerance needs a bit of work in some parts.

I am Scottish btw.

Blue and white

I had some great times drinking with Englishmen and also a Welsh girl. Their nationality really didn't matter, they were all good folks.

I'm white and sometimes I'll refer to myself as a "cracker" just to be funny, and I don't find anything offensive about this word.

But I never use the "N" word. I don't think it's okay to say just whenever you feel like it, but I think it's up to the person. I've seen some black people say it to each other, and if they're comfortable with that then I think it's okay. But if not, then don't say it.
