Having been raised as a kid for a few years in the States, I returned to high
school in Poland and felt a stifling sense of arrogance and hautitude of
suckers regurgitating their bookish know-how which passed off as "wisdom".
There was no sense of true sharing; just extreme competition for a teacher's
attention, brown-nosing galore, and a sense of being labelled stupid if you
didn't know the dates of the partition of Poland and other such grave
matters. I find some of that arrogance in the discussions on the GW forum.
You differ in opinion, so you're dismissed or told to go back to school.
When do you think that Poles will shed their arrogant attitude in favour of
true cooperation and respect for the ideas of others? I say, when the Wisla
cleans up its waters. I hate Polish arrogance. I can take it from others, and
I rearely see it in Canadians, but, ohhh, give me a Polak abroad, and I know
he/she is full of airs
(of the "I'm qualified, but why am I not being hired?" kind. IT'S EXACTLY WHY
YOU'RE NOT BEING HIRED; YOU'RE DAMN ARROGANT, RUDE, AND THINK YOU KNOW IT
ALL. Is it just me, or do any of you still sense this loserish attitude in
the folks you meet in PL? I was born and raised in Poland, My kods were born
in Poland, but, ohhh, am I glad they're not pole-up-your-arse snobs and
western wannabes...
