Travel / The best holiday destination in Poland? [34]

But do you have any places (accommodations) to recommend staying, Goonie? Just trying to help out fellow travellers! :)

The reason I bring this up is because many foreign travellers have not been to any part of Poland, and I think the more info given about a place (ie: nearby sights, night life and accommodations) the easier it is for someone to choose a spot to travel to. :)

Go to mokwy.com, MND. That's where I'll be staying in August! Very close to the beach and hotspots and reasonably priced!

Love / Are all Polish girls skinny? [85]


I think perhaps he replied like that, beckski, because he wants to see more of you.....there is no way to tell from your photo whether you are skinny or not....it's just a facial shot.

you just buy up their housing and throw them out onto the street....;)


So what, you are against charity?

A term BW used to stop my dog from humping my other dog......now a term I use also...:) Back to the flood.....I seriously would like to offer some kind of aid.....if someone could fill me in on any organizations that will be helping the victims.

Yes we are a generous bunch, especially when it comes from the private sector.....I would help in anyway I could, be it money, clothing or other staples that were needed.

Kind of reminded me of some of the Katrina footage (people in boats; being washed away in a current of flooding.....very sad.....hope there are nomore casualties.)


WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!
And just to keep it on thread (although it is my thread), any other comments about the flooding in England?

Travel / Changing Poland [75]


That's what I usually experience in the US....I'm greeted once and then thanked for my business.....I always say thank you to a sales person, be it a waiter/waitress, cashier/checkout person and it's not fake....I truly appreciate people in the service industry....I was taught it's polite to acknowledge people and to ignore them is just plain rude.

Sorry Maty, but anyone who's young enough to be my....ahhemmm....nephew is cute....;)

I think, and I believe many of the women on here think that Maty is very cute (tell me I'm wrong ladies)....at least he's got personality and posts a picture of himself....where's your mug, zion?

(People learn to hate and be prejudice....it's not something we are born with)


As I think we all, to some degree have let anger get the best of us during some point in our lives (been there myself and know too well that physical sickness it produces).....Glad you learned a valuable life lesson, SG.....just wish everyone could (for their own happiness and sanity).

Love / Want a female point of view on behaviour [14]


That would be my suggestion! ;-)

Love / Want a female point of view on behaviour [14]


As you said, you are dating a "girl" or have dated "girls". Have you ever dated a woman who truly knows what she wants? I'll admit, back in the days of my youth, I was very fickle....hot one minute, cold the next.....it was about control and game playing.....as one matures, they realize the games get boring and want to actually have a mature relationship of sharing and not just one giving and the other taking.....


As I see it, this is playing games......when people are mature adults, they can express their love for one another without playing games (which is what you are doing....telling her how you feel, then witholding your feelings as a form of control and/or fear). Also, we can tell someone every hour we love them, but as the old cliche goes, "Actions speak far louder than words." Maybe check your own motives and actions and see if they jive with your words. If you are being honest with your feelings for her, and she's not responding the way you would like, then maybe it's time to rethink the relationship.....:)

Love / Do you think letters after you have broken up work ?? [29]

I must concur with the others.....don't send her a letter.....move on with your life.....good luck! :)

UK, Ireland / Anybody knows how to watch Polish channels in UK? [36]

I think he's being sarcastic, because you did not thank him for the information he gave you, concerning your original question. It's usually the polite thing to do (thank someone) when they have taken the time to answer your question.

USA, Canada / Advice for Polish girlfriend getting tourist visa to visit America? [45]


You can apply at the Polish Embassy in England for a visa, but it would be as a Polish Citizen.....I think that's what you are asking? I also don't know how quickly you would be able to get one, considering it's already summer. Good luck, though. :)

***edited***thanks Krysia for pointing out that she needs to go to Polish and not American embassy***:)

Crude Oil and Total Petroleum Imports Top 15 Countries
April 2007 Import Highlights: Released on June 11, 2007
Preliminary monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports in April 2007 has been released and it shows that three countries have each exported more than 1.40 million barrels per day to the United States. Including those countries, a total of four countries exported over 1.00 million barrels per day of crude oil to the United States (see table below). The top five exporting countries accounted for 68 percent of United States crude oil imports in March while the top ten sources accounted for approximately 88 percent of all U.S. crude oil imports. The top sources of US crude oil imports for April were Canada (1.909 million barrels per day), Mexico (1.460 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.458 million barrels per day), Venezuela (1.182 million barrels per day), and Nigeria (0.891 million barrels per day). The rest of the top ten sources, in order, were Iraq (0.562 million barrels per day), Algeria (0.530 million barrels per day), Angola (0.514 million barrels per day), Russia (0.269 million barrels per day), and Brazil (0.175 million barrels per day). Total crude oil imports averaged 10.181 million barrels per day in April, which is a decrease of 0.167 million barrels per day from March 2007.

News / EU or America - which country is better to work now? [56]


I can't speak for Fisz, and unfortunately he won't be around for a while to defend himself, but I think it has been established that stereotypes have some validity to them. That being said, perhaps Fisz' only experience has been with illegal aliens (it's usually the illegal ones that do these jobs). I live in a city with a high population of hispanics, some are legal and some are not.....most are just wanting to live a better life in relative peace and make enough money to care for their families here and in their homeland.


I must say, I did find his wording to be somewhat offensive.....I have more respect for the person who holds down an honest job like dishwashing, fast food cooking, or manual labouring than a thug who steals from others or sells drugs to kids, all to line their own pockets. It's not just immigrants or illegals that hold these positions, it's our children learning some responsibility or the single mom or dad taking on extra work to help make ends meet. I have been very fortunate and am extremely grateful for the opportunities I have had in my life.....I even worked at McDonalds during the summer between high school and college.....I didn't like the work at the time, but I am grateful for the responsibility that it taught me.
