Food / First time eating Polish food [30]

beef amd rice or barley.. with potatoes it's not polish.

I think that you could get really surprised plk. People from different parts of Poland prepare traditional dishes in different ways. For example, it was unthinkable for my family from Lubuskie region that we eat potato pancakes with sugar here in Wielkopolska and I was equally surprised when I found out that my girlfriends family from Silesia eat their chicken soup with potatoes instead of noodles…

News / Undertakers in Lodz :( [24]

this people are Barbarians that should be in the African UNION !!!!

Or even worse, a south American one! :)

My parents watched a documentary the other evening, quite disturbing really - Im surprised that its hasnt been mentioned on the form before.

It wasn't mentioned because it took place long before the forum started. It was all over the news at that time though.

Never mind though, I was just singing. Don't you know The Ramones? You know, that American band, or are you listening only to Euro Dance and Russian contemporary music. :P

News / Alchemy Polish vodka commercial - "Polaks innovations" [48]

I undesrstand that some people would be, but the true interest does not resolve to watching and basing their assumptions solely on ads for alcohol.

But we are not taking about people with a sole interest in Slovakia and Kazakhstan, but about ordinary folk, which makes probably about 99% of western worlds population. Still, I'm not saying that to feel offended is the right way. I just try to understand people who do feel offended by such commercials. That’s all.

News / Alchemy Polish vodka commercial - "Polaks innovations" [48]

I didn't even see this stuff in Poland. it's prob made for export only like Pravda.

It's the first time I hear about a vodka named Pravda. :) I think tyou are right Zgubiony. Myself, I'm a Wyborowa lover. :)

Not really what I meant. Americans in general won't take offense to this stuff. We are used to it, not from friend to friend, but anywhere in general. Polish recently have been upset at numerous digs at them. Americans normally will brush it off. We get it from the brits all the time.

Ahh, yes. True. But again, it's because we are afraid that people actually might think that those jokes about Poles being dumb can be perceived as truth and not as what they really are, plain jokes. Americans don't have to prove anything and seem not care what others think about them. I think it’s the right way and I really like it about you guys. But shouldn’t we be talking about vodka? :)

I think it is very funny, if the Poles want to be offended, let them be offended. It would be like being offended watching Borat.

Actually, the Kazakhs felt offended after watching Borat. Just like the Slovaks were offended after "Hostel". It's just the way it is in the world, that countries without well established image, like those tree mentioned before, want to be perceived by the rest of the world as a normal country rather than a backwater one, where all inhabitants are either stupid, racist or a bunch of murderers. UK, France, Germany don't need to worry that people might actually believe that the jokes told about them are true as their position in the world is basically well established and people just know better. But Poland, Romania, Hungary, Lithuania? Note the case I'm afraid.

I think it's high time to abolish these myth that Polish people don't laugh at themselves. One of my favorite polish comedy is "Dzień Świra" and it definitely isn't about Germans, Brits or whatever. We don't have problems with laughing at ourselves. We just don't like when other people laugh at us as very often it isn't meant in a nice friendly way.

As for the commercial, what's up with t the Russian accent of the lector (actually not only lector, but also the word na zdrowie is pronounced in a Russian way. Kurwa is OK though :) ) and with the he Russian song in the background? Confusing. It's stil funny tough. :)

Any vodka fans tried Alchemy?

Life / Gay scene good in Poland? [66]

I was watching a programme and yes it looked stunning. Particulary liked vlad draculas hill top castles

I haven't been to Vlad Castle, although I did hear that there are several (or actually a few) of castles that the owners claim to had been Vlads home. :)

Romanian mountains are beautiful, the food is awesome and people are really nice.(don't confuse Romanian gypsies with Romanians though. Some people do it, but there are definitely not the same bunch.).

Unfortunately you might have to find some Romanian forum as I really don't have a clue about the gay scene there. Good luck though. :)

It looks like you knew the answer to your question before you even asked us. Have a wonderful stag party. :) And while there, do visit Romanian countryside. It's breath taking.

History / Poland Betrayed in WW2 [243]

So are you saying they should have been honest and said "sorry we can't do anything for you because we cannot carry out any promises", strange logic that!!

I'm saying that GB made promises they knew the are not able to keep. they just wanted to keep Poland away from allaying with the Nazis.

Here is a bit of my post regarding this issue.

History / Poland Betrayed in WW2 [243]

UK,I shouldnt bother if I were you,you wont get a reasond argument on here,just rehashed old Polish Communist propaganda dipped in a soupcon of Polish nationalism with a side order of woe is me self pity.....

Oh and polish inferiority complex. You forgot about that. :)

As for ther subject of UK not being able to invade Germany in 1939, nobody actually disagreed with that statement. We all agree on that one. Now the question is, did the British government knew that it is unable to carry out an attack on Germany when they decided to sign up a military agreement with Poland? If they knew, than it would mean that they deceived Poland. If they didn't, than what does it say about them? Nothing good I’m afraid.

The whole slogan that "the allies sold Poland in 1939" was a product of Communist propaganda. That's a fact and I'm not going to deny it. Still maybe a more interesting topic would be your denial ishatu to admit that the British government lied the polish government that they are able to help them out against Germany in order to keep Poland away from allying with the Nazis? I’m open for a mature debate on this one.

-edit-

They came back after 123 years of being non-existent, I think the Polish are very patriotic and did what they could to survive.

Don't mind Bubba, Davey. He's just angry, and doesn't really mind what he has just written.

USA, Canada / Dear American Poles, look how much Brits make in Poland [28]

but i agree.. one can't see outside the box as long as they are in it.

Unfortunately it goes both ways. One can't see what's in the box as long as he remains outside... I'm not going to fool you that life is better here than it is in the US, but it's not as bad as some would want it to be. Pozdrawiam.
