I take back all those Pollock jokes I told as a child.
Seriously, the Poles are a tough bunch.
The rest of Europe are idiots and Socialist lovers. THE HELL WITH THEM!
Anyone who doubts that need only look up "King Jan Soebeiski" or "1683 Siege of Vienna".
That was EXACTLY my first thoughts
God bless ‘em, no one’s paid the price over such a long time as the Poles
No wonder they cherish freedom and hate Russia
The crybabies of Western Europe could take lessons from people who’ve lived under oppression
Throw in some Americans and Canadians too
“I take back all those Pollock jokes I told as a child.”
I personally enjoy a good Jackson Pollock joke.
Being somewhat Polish myself, thanks for saying that.
Just read a short article last night about the Poles at the beginning of WWII, how the Russians deported most of them to camps, and the gulags. How they were all put on trains, and the atrocities that occurred on board the trains. Babies being tossed out of the trains if they were sick...same with adults who had died...alot of horrid stuff. And then of course the Katyn massacre that the Russians tried to blame on the Nazis.
All of those jokes are interchangeable for different groups in different countries and territories. Irish jokes in Australia, Newfoundlanders (”Newfies”) in Canada, Cajuns (”Coonasses”) in Louisiana, etc. How they ever got applied to the nation that produced Copernicus, Chopin, and John Paul II may be a mystery, but the jokes are universal.
Horses. The Poles are stallions. So much respect for them.

We have troops there. Share a base and the Poles want to allow us a permanent base. My bro lived there a bit and said I would love it.
