UK, Ireland / ARE YOUNG BRITS LESS INTELLIGENT THAN POLES? [56]

I applaud the motivation of young Poles, their parents push them really hard too. They don't mind that they are put through misery in order to get somewhere. Brits are getting complacent

Food / Żubrówka + apple juice anyone? [41]

My GF makes sushi from time to time, with great results.

We're gonna try o-nigiri tomorrow. I can't help but feel that we are sabotaging a thread here Dzhaklin

It was interesting to see the reaction of my Japanese friend to their cuisine. He turned his nose up at a couple of things but we were generally quite adventurous. Japan has sashimi after all. And basashi (horse)

I guess u like kapuśniak or łazanki. Kimchi was nice, I largely ignored the smell. Not as bad as Japanese natto tho. It looked like earwax and smelt bad. Natto is fermented soy bean.

Kimchi is very tasty. I ate authentic Korean food and I liked it. I ate the modified variety in Japan but it was edible.

The Poles would like kimchi, it's spicy cabbage. U can buy kimchi noodles in Piast.

I can't drink too much of it either. It's a taste thing more than a get drunk thing. How does Korean food make u feel or haven't u tried it?

Life / Asian and Polish culture - how do they compare? [24]

I met the parents of my ex-girlfriend in Japan. After a tense start, and a few shots of Suntory Zen Whisky (advertised by Sean Connery no less), all was well. They make good whisky there, thanks to imitation. They imitate German beer, so the quality is pretty high.

I had a translator but didn't need her, that's one of my crowning glories. They are very curious people. All that staring on the streets made me lose my self consciousness which was a good thing. A red-haired Scotsman in a small city, I was gazed at all the time.

Life / Asian and Polish culture - how do they compare? [24]

That's it. I met a Polish guy who does business with Koreans. He said it was a nightmare to get through to them. Their mentality is so different. I met some fantastic Koreans. One girl called Ji Won was a gem and one of the hottest things I've set eyes on but that's beside the point.

I could write a book on the cultural differences, depending on which level u take it to.

So, author, questions?

Yes, that's why I drink it at home.

Baileys from a shoe, hehehe. Would that be an old brown one?

Kaktus is great stuff. I agree, it's a very versatile mixer.

Żubrówka and apple juice is a bandwagon drink. Sb drinks it and everyone hops on board. It's not that good.

Baileys and milk, yummy...

Love / What do the Polish guys think about the British girls?? [37]

A couple of girls I remember from Scotland are hotter than most of the girls I've seen here but I guess it's about averages.

Maybe British girls are more game for a laugh and a bit of slap+tickle, dunno, just a thought

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]

Catholic church law states that a child under the age of 7 has no thinking and Scots Law states (stated?) that the age of criminal responsibility is 8. How can that be? Seriously, u can't reconcile the 2 positions.

History / Are Germans going to pay for WW2? [180]

The Poles are great fighters noimmigration. Whether it be Grom, the army or any other division, they have strength in depth. They are no cowards and as a Scot u should applaud this.

I'm making it my business Greg. I've got every bit as much right to voice an opinion as the church does.

Lesser, ignorance is bliss in ur eyes but this girl needs justice. I agree with ur PVS analysis. They should be able to decide.

Yes, because I say so and it's a fact. When does a child form its ID and character (or is it formed), in a womb? Come off it!!

Quality of life, in the sense of sb who knows they are never going to recover after a serious accident. I'm not talking about ur standard of living, I'm talking about ur standard of LIFE. Please see the difference.

UK, Ireland / ARE YOUNG BRITS LESS INTELLIGENT THAN POLES? [56]

Let me put this another way. Look at PhD graduates from science disciplines. When I read New Scientist, I often read the various jobs that were on offer. PhD required and 9-10,000 British pounds PER YEAR. Hell, Ronaldinho may make 3 times that, IN ONE DAY. That's an afternoon's work for the man.

It's a bad comparison I know but still. The point is clear. They are intelligent for choosing work that matches who they are

Precisely, intelligence is multi-faceted. It's a rounded concept which encapsulates many factors. Even emotional intelligence has attracted many authors. It has some substantive content.
