Life / Poland High school curriculum [48]

I haven't said we don't have sports at school at all :)

ow lol, soz, didn't realise, i was ok at school and actually now am pretty switched on and partially intellegent, maybe :) However sport was and is still where my natural talent and flair is. Nothing feels as good to me than when i'm partaking in sport, nothing.

I enjoyed English and Geography at school and also used to get up on the stage and act for the school plays, thats because i'm a showman and like performing to an audience :)

But i think Polish education system is not good.

what do you think is wrong with it?? how would you change it?

Life / Poland High school curriculum [48]

sounds like a sportsmans nightmare, i'm glad i wasn't born into that kind of academic crippling timetable, jesus, where is the time for fun when you've finsihed your five days at school with no physical activity, sounds like hell. If it wasn't for sports at school i would have probably gone further of the rails.

I'm not saying that the polish system is bad, however for somebody like me it would be too academically driven with no other releases, there is nothing like a good swimming lesson after a horrible math one :)

Love / Meaning of Friendship (my friends is going back to Poland) [57]

yeah maybe a little double standards there, but your not the only one who thinks that a best friend is 'one' person, i have believed it since i met my best friend at the start of school, he is still my best friend now, the only thing i would say is that a girl/boy can't be best friends, it just dosen't happen

Life / Worried Mother in Law about her Polish son-in-law (army issue) [12]

listen if a guy is due to do national service then he should do it, or be considered a diserter, thats nothing personal against the poster, its just my belief. I would hope even if he was taken for a period of time that he would be allowed back in the US. After all he went home to do what all proper men should do, visit their mums :) Good luck to him and i hope it all works out

Love / Meaning of Friendship (my friends is going back to Poland) [57]

that is not true. one at a time maybe.. as others have said, people come and go and so do friends and buds. eventually one will have another best friend.. sure it will be different but nothing in life is stagnant. or just get a dog. :)

no actually i agree with Panienka in a sense, as i have always had the same, 'best friend'

after some time they really are only an aquientence. think about it.

i've thought about it and i still disagree, the ages that best friends usually drift apart are between 15 - 21 something like that when the most changes happen in your individual lives

Love / Meaning of Friendship (my friends is going back to Poland) [57]

life astounds us, we meet many people, but the best friend is only one... the truth is that everyone will leave us someday and we must accept it, i wish you to be strong and don't forget to remember her :)

wow thats kinda serious, i thought a best mate was somebody who would always stick by ou through thick and thin, the kind of guy you would trust your life with. I've got that type of mate, met at primary school at age 5 still best of friends now at age 23.

Love / Brit working in Poland - asking this Polish lady if she's in a relationship? [114]

Is liking a lady who happens to be Polish a fetish.....? I like her because she is a nice person , not because she is Polish.......Funny thing is....most of the women in Poland seem to be Polish....strange that , should i look for an Australian maybe...?????

lol, so your categorically confirming you don't have a polish girl fetish, why i can see you probably don't there are so many guys who say that sort of rubbish that londonchick was on about :)

have a thing about Polish girls

i just have a thing for girls :)

Love / Brit working in Poland - asking this Polish lady if she's in a relationship? [114]

My advice is just be yourelf and see what happens, if you change anything you do normally, she will notice for sure. There is no harm in asking her out for a drink after work one night, hell even ask her to the movies, If she says no then you walk away and lick your wounds, if she says yes then you go with the flow and see what happens.

As for the marriage and kids part, don't even worry about that yet, just go out for a friendly drink, married women are allowed to drink with their friends??? right??. Howeve if she's married i'd advise getting involved, i mean imagine if your wife was of behind your back, its not nice and there are kids involved and its not fair on them.

If the relationship develops then of course the three things you need are, trust, communication and plenty of common ground early on. I wish you good luck in your quest for the 'risky' date with the lady from the office. Lol, i've always been told work coleagues are a no go!!

cheers

Love / I have met a wonderful Polish woman, but she has a 9 yrs old daughter [66]

by no way was i questioning the villagers ability to think, in fact the same people i have been talking about tend to be brilliant academics due to the homework, school, homework, school thing. There is nothing wrong with being an academic but if you lack people skills then its difficult to get of the ground in the UK as i'm sure it is in Polska

History / Poland Betrayed in WW2 [243]

Well lets start with the whole truth, I am not taking "Nazi" here, I am referring to "Soviet". This was not as told in history books across the nation, Poland included, a "Jewish Holocaust", this was directed at "Polish". How many victim's were Greek/Roman Catholic? How many were victim's of "Stalin's"? Where did "Stalin" start killing off the "Polish in eastern Poland"?

you've just proven my point, your talking history again, i'm not saying this happened or this didn't happen, lol, its nothing to do with what i mean. What happened, happened if you see what i mean, you can't change it and if a few commy SOB's want to deny it then let them because i'm sure everybody else knows it happened and who was responsible for it.

I also understand that Poland and Polish people were the victims sort out by the Nazi's, Soviets etc etc but this goes back to my original point, move on. Poland is not going through that now its a free country with the capabilities to do what it wants when it pleases.

You're quite right, but the question can also be asked why do non Poles come on this forum and censure those who wish to discuss matters that are intrinsically Polish, albeit historical. If it offends your sensibilities and makes you upset that we're dragging Poland down, then sorry, but you should grow a harder shell.

[quote=Ozi Dan wrote]Would you clarify what you mean by negative effect?

well put it this way all the mumble grumble about such subjects must be bigger ten fold in poland than on this forum. I'm a young British person and i don't want to keep hearing about losses here and nazi's there. People dying, land being stripped, yes i would like to learn about it, however i want to hear the good things about my country. It isn't the negative affect as such but it can create a negative mindset, maybe as an example here, the reason that people sometimes feel the Polish are so defensive about anything and untrusting. Well you know what if all i heard my family talking about was this sort of stuff i think i'd be pretty paranoid too.

Finally do i think it should be discussed, yes of course, there is a time and a place to do that. Yes the time and place is on this forum, however just going round and round in circles helps nobody and especially yourselves.

I know i can't tell you all the details of what your talking about and i know i'm not Polish and i know i can't tell you what to do. I'm not doing that, it's just simply my point of view that people should be positive and not negative and by continually talking about 'polish victims' this and 'Poland betrayed' that, negativity seems to be on the mind of most.

Love / I have met a wonderful Polish woman, but she has a 9 yrs old daughter [66]

lol, i should have guessed 'religion' again, the answer to what causes the worlds problems seems to be the big word :) as for the personal skills, i think you could be right there Michal but its about personal experiences, usually these type of poles i have met haven't been exposed to the real world, therefore they haven't experienced real life situations whether they are big or small

lol now thats a remark sure to cause a few replies, i have found though that the 'polish villagers' have led very small lives consisting of homework, school, homework, school and then sleep. They miss out on so many other things and then when they come to the uk their people skills are just awful, lol, however that is only a few i have met.

I think you took that comment of mine the wrong way Tornado?

ok maybe i did take your comment the wrong way, sorry for that i didn't realise you were replying to him specificly as you didn't 'quote' him.

I didnt' think it was sad.

ok fair play, i wasn't expecting you to agree with me

I think polish hotties in skirts is definitely good.

it may be a good thing but its pretty sad to put it down as 'the' reason you love poland, just because a few eastern europeans decide to throw on a skirt in the summer time when the suns out, lol.

scientific observation.

scientific observation??? maybe not, perving is more like it :) all guys have a perv now and again

Life / Why are Polish people cheap? [126]

why is it, that polish people are considered as low lives

i think you should be ashamed of yoursefl for witting such trash, you could pick on many nationalities for supposidly being cheap, your just trying to provoke and spark other members up, if i wasn't so much for free speach i would ask for this to be closed down becuase i can't see the point in it being open.

P.S. As for Polish women, like any nationality, there are beautiful girls, average girls and others, the polish i have met have in the main been very nice in all departments.

History / WW2: Britain Declares War on Germany to Save Poland [290]

I hope the poster was trying to be positive about the UK and its motives etc for declaring war on Germany to help Poland.

What a lot of people say 'ow the brits didn't help the poles out in ww2' is wrong, it wasn't that at all, the fact is the Brits couldn't help the Polish, political stuff was useless against the German war machine. My main point however is that we could not Physically get ourselves there to help the Poles without getting through Germany first. The main problem would have been placement of troops, where the hell were we going to land them, drop them so that they could assist the good poles in defending their nation.

Secondly we didn't have any bombers or airoplanes at that time that could fly from Britain, to Poland, do what ever they needed to do and get back, the fuel tanks just were not big enough in the 193/40's. THis dosen't even inlcude the fact that the planes would have had to fly through countless amounts of flack and air defencese just to reach the Polish border in the first place. 3/4 members of RAF Bomber command were killed during the war and most of them between Britain and Holland not even counting Germnay itself.

If somebody said to me 'the british were useless when it came to helping the poles' firstly i would think they were stupid and secondly i would tell them it was physically and military impossible to do so.

just my 10 pence worth :)

History / Poland Betrayed in WW2 [243]

What is it you fear? Give the new generation credit. Or are you referring to Feliks and myself? We are the ones that lost our fathers homeland. You see Poland has victims that have a right to speak. Kind of funny the way "Communism" silenced the people and now the very people our fathers fought to protect think they can silence us.

mate its not about silencing anybody, its about 'moving on' surely these things can only be talked about so many times before they start to have a negative affect rather than a reflective one.

Stalin said to himself: "Who's going to
remember all this riff-raff in ten or twenty years time? No one. Who
remembers the names now of the boyars Ivan the Terrible got rid of?
No one.... The people had to know he was getting rid of all his
enemies. In the end, they all got what they deserved."

why should it matter what Stalin said, don't talk about it just to prove that commy sun of a you know what wrong.

closure

how are you going to achieve closure if you keep talking about the subject, what has happened has happened, you can't change it, its not like a contempary issue is it??? mulling over the same sad story again and again isn't going to change anything. Believe me i've watched documentary after documentary and read plenty about what happened to Poland and Poles in WW2 some of it was shocking, some of it just stunned me into silence, some of it was over dramatised, some of it gripping in the sense that you couldn't believe what the Germans were doing.

You may feel that justice has not been done, the trials of all the Nazi's were not enough for you fair play. You lost relatives, family, land and god knows what else in the war and wars previous to it. I can't understand your pain because i haven't been there but i have had trails and tribulations throughout my life where i have had to move on so it does not have a negative affect on myself, my family, or my peers.

I think Polish history should give young Poles hope and pride that their Grandparents or great-Granparents overcame such terrible adversity. It should instill a sense of encouragement that they can change Poland for the better. But alas maybe I'm just a dreamer.

yes i agree with that, learning about the history is all well and good and can be used positively, however over stating the importance of 'history' on the 'present' day can have a negative affect also

History / Poland Betrayed in WW2 [243]

The ones that were brought up under a "Communist lie" and told they could not speak. Do you understand Polands people lost the country they also loved and there next gen was born in another country due to this loss. Maybe when the lie's are corrected in history we will be able to let go, until then I from the USA was denied being a part of this most recent generation. Or are our feeling not to matter.

You also have a choice, this is not the only post, you can just pass it by rather than try to silence the very people that are now free to speak.

your looking back again and again, yes you deserve your country back, hay the last time i knew and looked Poland is in control of Poland at the moment isn't it????? your comments to me about yourself and others are all to do with 'history' which was where i started out 'moving on' which is something i think is important, jesus i lost some eyesight in an accident, yes i was dissapointed upset confused but i moved on and got on with my lot. You don't need to infect the new generation with negative talk, yes the history is important but it should not be paramount and the number 1 issue in their lives.

Most of my grievances are only inherited

exactly so don't pass it on and on and on down the generation ladder, let Poland get on with being Poland instead of what happened to Poland
