I can assure you, you are not going to die if you open your markets and minds
to slavic and other foreign language rock groups, foreign film and other
cultural goods.

Stop listening exclusively to english language anglo-saxon musician, and try
to watch movies form countries other than Britain and US, because Bratt Pit,
Julia Roberts, Elizabet Hurley or Hugh Grant are not only actors in the
world, not only that, theres a lot of actors better than them in other
countries. So please stop being to ignorant, selfish and self loving,swallow
your anglo-saxon pride and open your mind to foreign pop culture and hopfully
you'll learn something!

      Waldek - you are wonderful. Please, when are you going to show me a sample of
      your painting. I want to open my mind to Slavic artistry, and feel that your
      work would be the perfect place to start.

        there's a lot of artists better established, and better at their craft than me,
        so start from them OK? How about Jacek Malczewski or Starowiejski first?

          I would prefer to start with you, especially as you are not well established.

          I feel that once an artist is established, they tend to play to an audience,
          whereas someone unestablished but talented, like you, still has their original
          expressiveness. It is so much better to learn from new talent, than old.

      Czy w ogóle byłeś kiedyś w Wielkiej Brytanii?
      Może powinieneś tam pojechać, przecież jako obywatel amerykański nie
      potrzebujesz żadnej wizy. I pewnie stać Cię na to, bo słyszałem, że na
      zachodzie jesteście wszyscy bogaci.

        Janek,
        Nie musze byc w Wielkiej Brytani zeby ogladac brytyjskie kanaly telewizyjne,
        oraz czytac temtejsza prase i czasopisma. Chodzi o to ze Brytyjczyczy tak samo
        jak Amerykanie zapatrzeni sa we wlasna kulture, i to jasno widac gdy spojrzy
        sie do TV Guide lub wlaczy BBC albo inne stacje, po porstu zadnego
        francuskiego, azjatyckiego, polskiego lub latynoskiego filmu nie zobaczysz tam,
        nie uslyszysz zadnej piosenki obcojezycznej, tak jak w normalnym kraju.

        Oczywiscie nie mowie o mediach emigranckich w UK, tylko o tzw. mainstream
        british media, dlaczego Oni sa tak zamknieci na obca kulture popularna

      Maybe, if we have any patience left at all we can set up a

      'help waldek overcome his sterotypes' fund

      and pitch in for a round the world trip, ticket for you!!!!!??
      • waldek1610 Missus; how many Polish movies you seen on BBC? 27.01.06, 22:55
        or any other tv chanal from UK, and now how many British, Australian, Czech ,
        Russian, Chinesse and Italian movies you seen on Polish chanalls?

        You see the difference? Try to answer may question, why is UK and in fact all
        anglo-saxon countries so isolated culturally.

        If Poland allows Hollywood productions and popular music to have a share of
        Polish market, why can't USA or Britain let Polish movies or pop music enter
        their market?

          Do you think they are? I think they are the most multicultural countries in the
          world.

          Maybe they would not attract enough viewers. Have you thought that maybe the
          British or Americans don't want them? Anyway, there is enough satallite
          television nowadays - Polish channels are avaiable anyway.

          Waldek, why did you desert your beloved Poland? Are you going to come back? When
          was the last time you come back?
