RALFFERS 0 #1 May 4, 2007 Today, (May 3rd), back in 1791 the Polish constitution was signed-making the townspeople and the nobles equall, to a certain degree and onlytechnically, I'm sure. Anyway, Polish history stems back over a thousand years. Interestingly enough, although its had that much time to develop and evolve, younger countries, such as the States have a considerable lead. Having said that, Poland does have a rich history and there are many landmarks to visit and whatnot I'm just curious to know where you are from and learn something about your culture.Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

willard 0 #5 May 4, 2007 Grammer police! A pollock is a fish. I hope you aren't a fish. People from Poland are Poles. The Polish name for a Pole is Polak (male) and Polka (female). Nope, I'm not Polish, I'm 1/2 Hungarian. So we are neighbors, kinda. Carry on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #9 May 4, 2007 I'm part mutt, but mostly Polish. I'd certainly like to go spend some time wandering around there. I tried to learn to speak Polish with some audiobooks, but that was a miserable failure. Oh yeah, and the Republicans and Democrats can suck my Pole. We have the Beer Lovers Party and actually elect them to parliament! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
