Travel / What To Do In Gliwice Poland [37]

Sośnica is a dive. It's worth avoiding. Harass the locals, that should be entertaining :)

Travel / What To Do In Gliwice Poland [37]

Cycling is good but you probably don't have access to a bike. Jogging is an option. Chatting up girls in the park.

Any specific questions?

News / Poland is the most friendly neighbor of Ukraine and Russia - Ukrainian poll ... [132]

Well, maybe they didn't have the means or will to preserve it. Look at Gaza city by way of example. The Palestinians are deprived of the resources necessary for its upkeep.

How has it "crumbled" anyway?

Riiiiiiiight, of course I don't ;) ;) It's only supposed to state a right that you have :)

Which is why I included the word 'apparent', Sok. They make out that there were Polish cc's everywhere. However, there is insufficient verified documentation on this point.

Language / mój - moja [28]

Mój dentysta, mój kierowca itd. There are quite a few masculine nouns that end in A. It is confusing but so are English exceptions for non-natives.

History / Ranking of the most dangerous and successful enemies of Poland. [32]

Tusk as he was prepared to bring about the situation where Russian and Iranian missiles (they'd have to extend their range) were honed in on Polish targets.

Let's be honest, who really feels in danger without this shield?

Success and money? How about willpower, the will do so sth?

We control a knife as we control our own logic. Are you a dangerous knife user? ;) ;)

Oh, I know too. War changes things and they got their comeuppance. Still, they have
legitimate claims.

We all know that the power brokers don't have that collective resolve :( :(

Well, if you like homogeneity....

Sok, you won't get a more sterner critic of 'guilty by association' than I. I hate that sb can be blamed for the apparent omissions of their predecessors.

Enforcement is for the Polish authorities. The vile segment of Jewish youth are the constant and you are the faultering variable.

My bad, I've been guilty of generalising but you always do it, Sok. Clearly, not all Jews are well-versed in manners. How many Jews died compared to the number of Poles, Sok? They are irate and they see Poland as having played a part in their extermination. Many of us have been suckered in by propaganda and distortion. For example, I believed the Serbs were bad, that 9/11 was carried out by a man in a cave and that Russia started the war in Georgia. How time changed that!!! I have reversed all 3 now.

Well, Tusk has Jewish leanings so I am not holding my breath that he will take any kind of stand on the issue.

Real Estate / 15 reasons why the Polish real estate market will crash soon [258]

I look around and I see many unenterprising looking people. How on earth does such a dour buffoon make money? (I often ask myself this) Maybe there's a private source of collective funds that are eluding us? ;)

Greed should never get in the way of practicality. I just dislike the fact that I am at the behest of others making rules that aren't commensurate with our salary as a married couple. My 4 main monthly expenses come to over 2000PLN a month and I'll be damned if I have to run twice as fast to stay in the same place.

I feel it acutely when I check out properties here. The recurring thought, how on earth can I finance this and do I have the will to do so? Ah well, distractions are available ;) ;)

Of course sth is wrong, Sok. It's the brainwashing element and that is blatant. How come it is only common knowledge to the Jews that Polish concentration camps (cc's) existed? We all know of the Nazi ones but Polish? This is one case where the British press is more objective, or even has a very slight leaning towards the Jews. I learned about the Holocaust at school and not once did I hear of any Polish cc's. Unlike American press and teaching, British stuff is more impartial.

You are underestimating the power of indoctrination, Sok. Shame on you ;) ;)

I agree but why doesn't the Polish govt take a stand? When I see the IDF attack Palestinians on their own land, my blood boils. Those that throw stones at those law-abiding mothers and kids should be beaten to a pulp. I was beaten as a kid for MUCH less. In the name of discipline no less, hehehe.

Real Estate / 15 reasons why the Polish real estate market will crash soon [258]

Very good points made here. I'm not into voodoo myself but many Poles seem to be. Witchcraft and black magic books adorn my shelves as they belong to my wife. Maybe they are avid D&D players and have summoning spells where they turn leaves into 100PLN banknotes :) ;)

Joking aside, I foresee a slump too. As the Beastie Boys once said, 'something's gotta give'. Salaries here are frighteningly low compared with prices and various costs. Putting money down is going to be a major problem as many are heavily reliant on credit as it is. Disposable income cannot be flashed around too easily by most people.

However, you could say that it's the price you pay for snobbery! 7000PLN a square metre is absurd! I have inspected many properties here this year and I don't like what I am getting for my money. Now that I am married, special arrangements exist which may make it viable.

Love / PreMarital sex and Polish women or maybe all women [46]

Statistics about sex????? Should such a thing even exist, given the propensity of many to distort them and lie?

It's like the Tories. Polls showed them to be unpopular but come election time they won a landslide victory back in the day.

Use common sense, not stats!

Exactly, even more so if you are in a land with strict cultural norms and enforcement thereof. I remember being jaded and walking on tatami in Japan. My friend was livid and, even though she understood that it was my first day and hadn't locked into the habit of taking them off, she lambasted me and told me not to repeat that.

However, any drinking was done responsibly in the park, harming no-one and respecting the rights and privacy of others around me.

Sokrates, look at the nature of their actions. When drunk, things like that happen and they temporarily lose their reasoning. Although I can't condone it, it happens. Spreading NAZI symbols is a different thing entirely but they are just victims of false teaching. However, the key theme is respect for others but you have to understand the indoctrination of the Jews. Fairness aside, they are just brainwashed and you can't blame them completely for being unquestioning. They are not questioning beings like us.

It's the same as any youth. My Scottish friend is coming to Kraków next summer with his buddies and I told him to respect the place as many Brits don't. I have very little respect for Brits who go abroad for parties and get overly rowdy.

Thankfully, we still have the situation where we are visiting another country and should acknowledge our status as guests there.

Love / PreMarital sex and Polish women or maybe all women [46]

Some like premarital sex and others don't. If one is a devout Catholic, then in all likelihood they won't have premarital sex. Young people all over the world are not in the habit of denying their various instincts and impulses, though.

A better question is, 'Is the so-called rat race driving people towards sex or away from sex?'. In Japan, salarymen are like moths to a lightbulb. They can't wait for their post zangyou (overtime) release in Soapland :) In Poland, a bit of both.

Ah well, thank the Lord that he gave me a faithful bent :)

By 'cannot' I meant shouldn't, or ought not to as it's a bit stronger. Żegota and the good deeds alluded to by Szpilman and others obviously counted for nothing. They have to see it from the point of view of Poles. There is no escaping the fact that it was VERY difficult to shield Jews from the SS. They were taking a risk by even trying.

People will never fulyl understand history if they can't follow the verstehen approach.

Ironside, you apply dangerous logic. Why not give Silesia back to Germany? It was under German control for quite a while and I'd appreciate some more Germans here in the mix. I'm sick of dour old hags, give me some young German blood here.

Why not give Palestine their land back while you are at it? I don't see Poles being displaced by Ukrainians. I DO, however, see Palestinians being displaced by an occupier.

Why not move FORWARD and disprove the common (mis)perception that Poland is a backward-looking country!? Break from the past and move on.

What's that Morrissey song where he talks of an inbuilt guilt catching up with you, coming round and then slapping your face? It just struck me as appropriate to describe some women here. They will have sex with you but their conscience will gnaw away at them later. It's like they are first going with their biological instincts, which is good, and then they suddenly have recourse to church teachings which they suddenly see fit to follow. Relax, love is what God intended :) (as long as it is that).

this is a lovely song. They need to sit around a fire and sing this and chill out.

They cannot blame the Poles like they blame Palestinians for stealing and not helping their cause. Poland was good enough to preserve their Jewish quarter, Kazimierz.

Porn? Nah, why watch when you can have the real thing? Also, I don't want to leave traces on my computer. I can't be bothered deleting the browsing history :) ;)
