Polish Valor

[RotBaron]

awwww.....isnt that cute........mato and groth must be sensitive pals.............or poles......................

Sim:  say it was just a joke then follow up with inferring that mato & groth "must be" lovers and then you reiterate that if they aren't lovers then (inferred stupid) poles [sic]. You are done here? You posted the joke, now you're playing victim? 
Twat, yes that's probably apt here. Why? You are still trying to defend a position in which you decided it's funny to you, so it must be funny to everyone else.

Fugi: never affected me? I can remember both my Grandfather and Grandmother telling me about how they grew up with signs in stores about Polish need not apply & Irish need not apply (and both as Catholics need not apply). The fact that they were strong influences in my life, yes I'd say it affected/shaped me to a degree.
As I stated, if ppl who know each other well want to engage in this in good nature with each other that is entirely different.


Obie: I only wish the thread wasn't tarnished right off the bat by a stab joke and the common perception that Polish are stupid. It would have been a great thread to honor Polish valor; sadly that is not what happened as you and countless others who haven't commented have witnessed.

Wow Sim, you've now taken it to PM'ing me that my grandparents were morons. Just more evidence that you carry disdain for those of Polish descent and the Polish. They are dead btw, so I can't give them your message.

Where did I state that Polish are a "race"?

What need did you feel to post your "joke" in a thread about Polish valor in WWII?

Btw, in spite of being criticized for marrying a Polish woman, my grandfather started with nothing and eventually started a meat packing plant in a small town in central IL, turned that into 3 plants. He later acquired the best restaurant in town and Inn and did remarkably well for himself.

He made the American dream a reality and helped a little to put 5 kids through college without spoiling them too. All of which became professionals and talented in their trade(s).  All of those children, daughters included (also including all of the male grandchildren) put their/our time in at the plant; his children much more so than the grandchildren. But all the males in my family have worked from the pen to killing floor to cooler to freezer and loading.

You probably know about as little of anything like this as except for maybe the scene in Rocky where he's punching qtrs of frozen beef. 

Failed; he did not, except that he worked himself to death literally.
