Emma,
You could look at some maps, which should show the local church. The church address will be on a local web-site.
Then write a brief letter, which someone here can translate.
Find a forum for a local town web-site and post a message.

Love / What make Polish girls better than American girls [106]
In short. Customs, traditions, maybe family values, expectations, being in the middle of other cultures.
The Polish reality is, I imagine, different to the American one.
This is what might make Polish women different, but not necessarily better.
Wroclaw how are they different.

UK, Ireland / Paying tax in the UK??? Then you're breaking the law!! [41]
Michal,
hairball is from Byker, but living in Poland. Just because one disagrees doesn't make the other person an idiot.
hairball,
To prove this genocide, won't you have to show the difference between individual acts of murder and government policy to remove people.
Acts by individuals are already tried in the courts.
Death by result of an accident [collateral damage] is not a war crime.
At what point are UK forces breaking international law. Other than the fact that you believe the war is illegal/unjust.
You are an idiot. Poland too is supporting the war. How are you paying Polish taxes if you live in Byker? Has Poland increased its borders westwards?

If by paying tax a Brit is breaking international law... Then the same would apply to Polish taxpayers.
Hairball, do you pay tax ? Are you contributing to the genocide ?
You seem to be a man of principle. What are you doing to right the wrong ?
If you are tax payer in the UK then you are breaking International and UK Law, by supporting the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Point taken.
Obviously there are people who just don't report any crime for various reasons but the concentration here is on the issue of people who do want to report it, but can't. It's a worry, I feel.

I don't like it either. But it was pointed out to me [on these boards] that those who vote could well be voting for their future. A future when they return to Poland.
People who have no intention of returning shouldn't vote in my opinion. Problem is we don't know who these people are. So the only fair way, it seems, is to let them all vote.

Law / What is the hardwood lumber demand like in Poland? [26]
This is not true at all. The reason that European hardwoods are not used is simply that they take too long to grow.
Many Rain Forest hardwoods are banned in Europe.
It is also cost that prevents the use of hardwoods
I'd love to see it.
hardwoods aren't really structuraly as stable as sofwoods thus never really used.
