History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

Because Bush has slipped up, it doesn't mean I hate America. Like every other humane person out there, the death of 3000 innocent people affects u. How is taking the planes out lame? That's what the majority of Americans would have expected under the circumstances. Have u read some of the testimonies from the 9/11 Committee? Quite revealing. The conspiracy theorists have really turned heads with their findings. I can't believe u don't think 9/11 was an inside job. That twat Dick Cheney doesn't have dick in his name for no reason u know.

Law / Average rate for proofreading English in Poland? [14]

If u r accustomed to editing ur own essays from Uni, it helps. What helps more is knowing what the writer had in mind. My knowledge of Polish has helped me to make this process easier. U can ask for 10zł per page if u r committed to giving an A1 service and the paper is very important. I proof-read for a leading Polish scientist who lives here in Gliwice but is a member of Warsaw's Scientific Institute. He had to present my corrected papers in conferences/symposiums in Japan so I gave it my undivided attention. One more thing, ability to pay. If a student doesn't have so much money, simply lower the rate.

I agree with ukpolska, I didn't mean to come across that way. I am a live and let live kinda person. It's not for me to determine the curriculum/syllabus in another country, merely to sow seeds if u forgive the pun. Maybe food for thought is a better way to put it

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

America hater? Not at all. My good friends are American. Even ur own leading experts have shown very convincing evidence that bombs were planted in the Twin Towers. I'm merely stating what I regard to be true. The Bush family had strong ties with the Bin Laden family. OK, thanks for your money and, well, people died but that's our agenda people. A culture of fear!!

Love / do polish women make good wives as opposed to their western counter part? [29]

It depends on their commitment to their relationship but they can be. It's too general a question.

Language / Ciebie <-> tobie [22]

I understand Polish grammar reasonably well but this has been a tough nut to crack

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

To Celinski, in what sense did u mean that Germans are victims in Poland?

News / Will Poland become green? [122]

1 gallon of farts? Hehehe, seeing it in liquid terms, that can hardly be reassuring

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]

Just steer clear of the radical skinheads and u can have a great time. Katowice has its fair share of loonies but don't let that deter u. Btw, southern, which part of Poland r u from?

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]

Katowice is developing quite nicely, there are many investment opportunities there and a thriving music scene

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

In answer to Puzzler, I couldn't agree more, just look at Bush. He has, on the face of it, committed murder against his own people and has played the poor us card. The real victims in the world cry out for help, like Rwandans or ex FYR citizens, but are somehow seen to be contributing to their own demise. When u read reports, u c info often without the background that brought that about. An example? OK, how about the case of Idi Amin who directly threatened to kill those who wouldn't kill their own family members? Hack ur sibling to death or u will be hacked to death. Wow, what options!! And the newsreport read, 'Ugandans resort to killing their own due to frustration', or sth similarly distorted. Sick!! Who opened this threat of Germans being victims? I'd like to know what they had in mind.

Life / Condoms and the Catholic church in Poland [83]

Trust me, I teach students who are 15 and they are very sexually aware, sweeping this fact under the carpet achieves little. By giving youngsters knowledge doesn't mean they will act on it but the young absorb info like a sponge and will retain much of their sex education. There's no sense in taking the moral high ground, sex is a reality that we need to deal with.

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]

I live near Katowice, in Gliwice. I'm not so sure if the girls there are really so open to foreigners either

History / Should Germany claim to be the victims in Poland? [510]

To answer the question, Poland has never set out to victimise Germans on a large scale. How can they be victims if they have suffered precious little loss? Maybe I'm biased because I live in the largely pro-German region of Silesia but Germans are not attacked when they come to visit Breslau (Wrocław), an area that they occupied but were cruel in. Also, Gleiwitz and Hindenburg, Gliwice and Zabrze, were strongholds where the Germans were not victims. Killing through resistance and necessity can hardly be described as victimising people

Life / Brits moving to live in Poland [88]

U r welcome, it's good 2 c a Scot and English person help each other. And I like the fact that u spelt surprise correctly, not like these Septics who almost unfailingly write suprise. Well, they have their ways I guess.

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]

Sometimes the goalposts need to be shifted when playing games, otherwise there would be no thrill of the chase or rules of engagement. To be honest, I don't know enough about other European women but I'm fairly sure that the content of leading magazines for women are broadly similar and they want similar things. As for Krakow girls, I've heard that they have egos as big as houses, much like those from Warsaw

UK, Ireland / The Changing Face of Scotland - we need more immigrants! [178]

Yeah, noimmigration, r u from Scotland? I don't represent the voice of Scotland here as I'm hardly Sean Connery, Sean yes, but it's purely a matter of choice. Pakistanis, Koreans and other ethnic groups don't integrate much either but they can provide a service that others don't. In my home city of Aberdeen, there are many Indians and Chinese that provide wonderful cuisine but Aberdonians don't criticise them for not integrating in the fullest sense. I wouldn't drink with a Pole just for the sake of it, much in the same way as I wouldn't drink with a fellow Scot if I didn't like him/her. If I liked them, then of course. Immigrants provide variety and variety is the spice of life

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]

I agree with southern, these guidelines are everywhere but it depends who needs who. Independent guys can brush these demands aside and just have fun. Making advances, yeah, that's a form of power in itself, the fact that even touching constitutes assault and rape is getting easier to prove, see the Stallard case in Scotland. Being overly cautious is seldom fun, especially when u meet the parents of a foreign partner. Trust me, I've been in that position here in Poland and in Japan, it's as if u r trying to win approval. Back to the question tho, Polish girls are awesome as they are not as theatrical as women from many other countries, rather more practical

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]

Exactly! It all depends on what u r used to. The key is to lay down the ground-rules ASAP and see their response. At least u'd be manly!! To be honest, I base my perception of American girls on limited experience and TV, as well as some input from friends, but that's my frame of reference. Girls who rely on getting 5-star treatment are only setting themselves up for disappointment. Even if they do marry the guy they claim to love, 1 in 3 first marriages end in divorce. Who said life was easy? My girl doesn't want to place Polish lassies (women, sorry, I'm Scottish) above Americans as guys often demand the same things of their women, but Poles seem to make more faithful wives

That's bcoz Brits generally fix up jobs b4 they go noimmigration. It's not necessarily the fault of those Poles who lost out in the job market in the UK due to mass immigration and competition for jobs. Any intelligent person knows that it's easier to look 4 a job when u r in 1 like I did when I transferred school here but my CV gets me places I guess. Maybe these people are stuck in the 'toilet trap' but not everyone was born intelligent or was given a fair rub of the green in life. I c ur points but try and be fair

U could also use boczek which is bacon, which would provide the required fat content. Kiełbasa is better as the fat content is ideal. Parówki are cheaper and don't fit the bill. Ur last question, I understand this well. Almost asked like an Italian. I would say yes but monitor carefully, ur heating rings may be more powerful than mine. Pasta need not be 'al dente' but softer can be better. It just depends on what u like to taste more. I'm a little surprised that u hadn't heard of łazanki but most Poles don't speak of it. I stumbled across it in a milk bar and then my girl started to make it to show me how it can taste differently. Again, any requests and I'll be happy to assist

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK sleeping in toilets [165]

It's a free-floating evil that can EASILY be tolerated noimmigration. Poles are seen as intolerant, apparently one of their cardinal vices, so rise above that and show urself to be tolerant and turn ur head and let the govt and politicians do what they are paid handsomely to do. The majority don't like bums (not the kind Elton John likes btw) but they are a social reality and cannot be ignored completely. Tolerance wins u friends unless u live a sheltered existence

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK sleeping in toilets [165]

No-one would say that sleeping in toilets is classy, it's often an act of desperation but as u acknowledged, Brits do it too. Yeah, Poles compound the problem but at least they don't harm people. OK, for me, the Polish language isn't melodic like English is but it's not gutter talk either. Their language is quite rich. Mail order brides? I think u r thinking about Russia amigo. As for the height of civilisation, well, Japan rates very highly. The crime rate is almost the lowest in the world and they are higher-tech than us Brits. Ne, mon ami? Why r u so anti-Polish mein freund? Directed to noimmigration of course

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK sleeping in toilets [165]

Ask why they are sleeping in toilets in the first place. Cuz they want to? I doubt it

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK sleeping in toilets [165]

And English girls are elegant? Polish girls walk with far more grace, why?, bcoz they can. What is sophistication noimmigration? Let me ask u, r u pro-France?

Life / Expats in Poland: Are you going to live in Poland long or short term? [65]

Then treat the issue as one, people are people and their actions dictate the response by the government. To my knowledge, powers of removal exist. Maybe they spent hard earned money to go to the UK in search of new employment and found that what they wanted didn't exist, so they had to resort to living in such conditions. Not everyone can just walk into favourable conditions and make a good fist of it

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]

There is also an increasing awareness in Poland not to be seen to be behind their European neighbours on a number of fronts. Polish girls are strong and want to advance themselves. I just hope they don't get too caught up in their princess mentality but American chicks do that and get away with it. As long as they keep working to where they want to be, what's the problem? Opportunity is the name of the game

UK, Ireland / We welcome Polish people to Britain! [224]

England is not homogeneous either I agree so Wales, the taffy's, hehehe. Ignore the worst poster, there are losers everywhere. Wales, hmm, u'd better start my friend. One thing, I'm not anti-English as i prefer to evaluate people. I have many English friends so that should put things on an even footing
