News / Polish economy, the US Dollar, the PLN and the Polish real estate bubble. [25]

Yeah because for some of us living in Poland with US money in the bank it helps us to have a higher dollar...it isn't some hatred for Poland or a wish for Poles to have less money...it just benefits us here. And except for holidays the average Poles that lives and shops in Poland wont know the difference.

I didn't see any Poles feeling bad for me when it went from 4 to nearly 2 but now you want to complain? I hope the dollar keeps going up as it makes my life easier but that doesn't mean I hate Poland.

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]

Some people want so bad for it to be some disease or abnormal thing they look for any little detail they can form to that end. I cannot understand why they are so worried or interested in what adults do in a relationship as long as they arent harming other people.

Hahaha..thanks man!

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]

Here meaning Poland in general. The most common attitude I hear from people is that they believe it is an illness. They are taught this in (some)schools, church and by their parents.

I know I know...this is where you say something like "BS".

They are taught here that it is an illness. You cannot undo peoples' indoctrination most of the time.

Or when people coughing and sneezing on the tram or bus without covering their mouth/nose doesn't seem out of place....carry a handkerchief to wipe off the spray ;)

Life / You know you have been living in poland too long when.... [73]


It's an expat thing...99% of expats will agree with him. I know most Poles will simply say I am a racist and not face it but Polish food does lack flavour and variety compared to many places. Calm down as this is not a personal insult to any Polish person and I am aware the farmer who grew or raised this food has one of the hightest IQs in Europe and I don't think the food is bad because he is stupid or catholic...better?

Life / Unusual Sightings in Warsaw - millions of black crows... [22]

What are the bigger black ones with the orange or yellow piece around the neck?

They seem to be quite aggressive for a bird. I guess I am use to pidgeons and their indifference. They just walk between your feet and don't seem to be the least bit bothered by people.

You guys focus on the past a lot. Do we have such laws now? No. Christians did this a hundred years ago...yadda yadda...how about people NOW??

In addition I have said ALL cultures are racist...Poles just more than many.

Your comprehension skills are lacking.

Travel / Polish roads as recorded by myself earlier today [74]

Just in case you were misinformed the term "yankee" or "yank" is not offensive to us.

Try something like "poopy head" or "imperialist"...more OOMPH.

If wishing morons like you would all go live in a cave together somewhere is a sick fantasy then yeah...guilty as charged.

Life / Is it expensive to give birth in Poland? [26]


People are greedy all over. It is a fact. Some cultures accept this more and Poland has a left over culture of bribes from the Communist times. There is an effort to clean this up in the public eye and in certain sectors but the reality is behind closed doors in many areas it is still very much alive. it is not exclusive to Poland but present in all post communist areas. It is also common in African, Arab and Chinese (specifically as most asian cultures do not bribe commonly) cultures. Now I did not say Westerners never bribe but it is not as common nor as accepted...that isn't racism just a fact. I often get irritated by it and proclaim I will never pay anyone again but sometimes you just cave in and get on with it.

I have bribed when I really needed something and not bribed and paid the price in worse service...and yeah sometimes they won't go for it so it isn't like you have to pay everyone you encounter money but it is not a myth as some would have you believe.

Hahah...you know I don't agree with insults for the sake of insulting but this made me laugh. If the shoe fits.

Food / Salty przyprawa!!! [11]

Vegeta is MSG in disguise. It is a cheap and poisonous chemical that improves flavour of bad, tasteless or spoiled foods. In China is is sold in bags by the kilo at supermarkets and often called "salt" as it looks the same.

I despise the stuff and many people are allergic and suffer life threatening reactions from it.

Food / Salty przyprawa!!! [11]

If I never saw another packet of Vegeta in my life I would not be upset. I think it stems from a need to season bland and poor quality foods. But I am sure someone will be along soon to tell me that is just racist. ;)

Language / Any sweet Polish phrases [255]

And that doesn't offend girls? Bubble is a round thing and most people I know would think you were calling them fat if you called them round or a bubble.

Does it relate more to "bubbly" like the personality?

Those people are just evil, mental mouthbreathers.

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]

That poster us from a group called Westboro Hills Baptist Church and they are nuts. They think every disaster, murder, raping etc is punishment from god for us letting the place go to hell. They go to Soldiers' funerals and protest, call them fags and all sorts of nasty stuff. It is a really evil bunch of people and they really are lucky nobody has hurt them very badly yet.

Travel / PLANES VERSUS TRAINS ~ WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? [32]

Depends on the train. If I am going to be uncomfortable I'd rather fly and suffer for less time. If it is a high quality (read not typical Polish) train I would rather take more time and be able to rest comfortably.

Love / Plastic boobs in Poland [44]

People who think vain cosmetic surgery is ridiculous and dangerous are not the one's with issues.

It is an extreme version of buying a fake Gucci purse...but it can kill and harm you. Comparing a boob SURGERY to hair dye or clothing is INSANE.

I am glad they exist though because it tells me who to avoid. Any woman with that much insecurity won't be pleasant in the long term....ANNND expensive.

The exception being reconstructive work after cancer etc...there is a clear reason for that.
