Life / Polish Integration with other Nationalities [150]
I don't know if I'd call that racist as I may have thought before. I'm thinking it depends on the reasons and thinking behind that. One man said to me he wouldn't date a woman who was not white because he wouldn't be attracted to her. He said skin colour is not something we choose, in the way we are born with this colour of hair or eyes or whatever. So if we can prefer a certain colour of eyes in a person for our attraction to occur - why not colour of skin without it being racist? I found it an interesting point of view and am uncertain of it. Yet it was logical. I could only say for myself, I hope a single aesthetic could not put me off if someone stands out to me with their personality or even other physical traits. I can like blue eyes in a man or so on, but it would not be the sway in feeling an attraction or not I think if his eyes were green.
Edit: I know this isn't really the point of the thread but I felt like sharing that musing...
Why is it white people are called racists because they prefer not to date people of a different colour

Life / Egg Painting tradition - still alive in Poland? [7]
It is a very nice tradition. Current popularity isn't really discussed in it but I thought I'd highlight this thread: [polishforums.com/pisanki-38_7638_0.html] - Pisanki and maybe add a wiki link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_pisanka

Lol! Ringpulls - a sign of development..

Polonia / German nation - degradation or just deviation? Your opinions? [66]
I was tempted to list some of those and end it in the same question as ConstantineK did, but not about Germans.
There is a discussion right now from one of the commenters I might quote:

UK, Ireland / Poles returning to Poland from UK [21]
I was speaking to a woman the other day who said she would love to be back in Poland just now but it is not a sensible move for her just now. Once she earns enough, her future is in Poland but for now she sees no improvement in Poland to tempt her back.
Most Poles I speak to say they will be here another 2 years or more but see no sense in heading back to Poland before then.

Love / What is Sexy to men and women in Poland? [101]
I think that is what I liked about it. It was the first time I'd seen such a style too. Did it not win an oscar or some major award?
Lol.
Something I find sexy - men who don't feel the need to prove themselves if they get teased about something.
i found it...weird..

No, I know that - I'm just saying it would be as such to expect families of such income/life quality not to have children or to wait when they may never be better off.
Yeah.
nor am I trying "punish the poor" by not allowing them to have children, Sophia. Just having an opinion.

I just think it's a sad world that their life above a butchers shop in Barking is actually better than what they might have had in their home country.
Yeah.

I get where you are coming from about what is best for the child, but honestly, there would be so many people who would be never be able to have children if they followed this - which is some punishment for being poor. It seems a little cruel. I'd consider what kind of life the child would have myself, but it is not as if this couple won't be able to feed/clothe and love this child - they are doing well enough I'd say.
More people should really ask themselves if having kids is the best idea.

Some people are just never going to have a lot of money themselves and won't ever afford a place bigger than their home - should they never have children?

Pity about that dent in the car hehe.
I don't know why people bother in my area to do it, I see random stop-searches all the time and know of many being caught. Maybe they just do it again because the punishment is not enough..

I'm just very protective of my friend, especially when drunk apparantly. I looked back on it with surprise myself lol.
I agree completely. OsioĊ, didn't you know that about chefs?
I must be painting a nice picture... but I know someone who did was attacked with one and took it off the guy and it ended up in the owner's leg.. I didn't approve, he could have just thrown it away and punched the idiot. I was disgusted at the thought, actually.
Sofi, you're getting quite violent these days, aren't you?

Knives are for cowards.

risk of someone whos just a little bit harder than you, taking it off you and shoving it where the sun doesnt shine.

Still happens though :( Last time I had a night out there with friends I was threatened with one. Stupid part was, her friends were holding her back, but mine had to do the same with me because I was tipsy and not pleased with her... Would have been a very bad move. Only time I've ever [well... jointly] tried to accept a fight instead of leaving it. She had to go and hit my best friend though...
There used to be many knives in Glasgow but there was a big clampdown.
