UK, Ireland / Irish view of Poland? [17]

Cue for Seanny to step up to the plate :) Get his furtive mind on sth worthwhile, rather than criticising perfectly drinkable water ;) ;)

Food / What are the most popular drinks in Poland? [23]

The Dublin Mountains? Is that a pub somewhere? ;) ;)

Ah tam, it's not as bad as you think. As I said, I drink it chilled.

Food / What are the most popular drinks in Poland? [23]

I loved the water flowing from the rocks in the Scottish hills :) The purest of the pure almost :)

What, the priests and Catholic followers didn't tell you that they cross themselves with Żywiec strawberry still water? ;) ;)

Food / What are the most popular drinks in Poland? [23]

It's just a matter of preference. A hundred and one things have the potential to harm us these days but chilled still water doesn't rank as being on the same level as pollution.

History / Matters of Propaganda...Or: how was the West portrayed in Poland? [150]

Poles often looked towards the West and marvelled. There are a select few who still do but the tide has turned. Most people now compare what Poland has to the West and they are generally proud of their record when it comes to food and body.

Life / What is the nature of Polish people's hygiene? [76]

Maybe that's because I have never been a regular user of trams here. I had a stint at a company where I had to get the tram there but found medium-grade aftershaves and perfumes wafting around me. Certainly bearable :)

Food / What are the most popular drinks in Poland? [23]

Żywiec still strawberry or Arctic Ice-Fruit are superb when taken chilled from the fridge. The other flavours are quite good too.

Life / What is the nature of Polish people's hygiene? [76]

Some have good hygiene and some don't. To elaborate a little, I haven't encountered the foul-smelling people that so many others complain about on here.

Food / What are the most popular drinks in Poland? [23]

Brown powder = brown sugar? Don't complain :) Sparkling water is very popular here but flavoured still water is my preference.

UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish migrant in UK. Ch. 3 - Food [93]

Great post by Hal, full of useful info :)

I don't like the moaning about national food options in the UK. The UK is pretty developed when it comes to international products so if the local offerings aren't for choice then they always have things like salads, potatoes and soups to keep them happy.

News / Are Poles happy about the impending Federal states of Europe? [20]

The Federal States of Europe has been on the table for some time now. He is their boy indeed but he faces assassination if not. This one-world government is absurd! Educated Poles will see through the lies. Poland likes to think that it's a big fish. Maybe so but it's in a huge pond.

News / Are Poles happy about the impending Federal states of Europe? [20]

There's a fair bit of wacko stuff there but population control has been a biggie for a while. Anyway, let's keep on topic. I think the Poles will be indifferent.

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

I'll check it out. M-G, you are not a full Jew as you would have labelled me an antisemite by now. You are Dutch and I guess understand the unacceptable loss of innocent life. I deplore the loss of innocent Israeli life too.

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

Aha, so innocent people should die for the actions of criminals? I happen to agree with Israeli's right to defend its innocent people. See the connection? Eight years of not taking action is not the fault of innocent Palestinians, is it? Why should they become embroiled in the folly of politicians?

Sorry, the history is not so clear cut. Why do you claim that Israel came first when it was only recognised as a state in 1948?

Life / Wonderful Poland.......but the attitude of Polish people [150]

Exactly, it makes no sense to use Hitler as an excuse.

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

I don't wish to see any propaganda videos. As I've already told you, it would take over 50 years to kill as many Israelis at the current rate as the IDF did in 3 weeks in OCL. Doesn't that embarrass you? I've heard accounts from deserters of the IDF about exactly what goes on. I can show you those videos, those that have no spin and are 'straight from the horse's mouth' so to speak.

These rocket attacks are futile and wayward, they have hardly killed any Israeli civilians, truth be told. Politics isn't going to stop the occupation so they resort to rocket attacks. I don't blame them. Mitchell talks peace but it's all rhetoric and politics. Hamas will not recognise Israel and Netanyahu will not stop the illegal settlement building. There can be no peace. There is much hatred as you know.

Why do you stop Palestinians from getting access to their own hospitals? Why do you block those pregnant women? Why is the IDF so afraid of letting journalists in? Why was phosphorous detected in OCL attacks?

The saving of one life, noble as it is, doesn't condone the taking of many more other innocent ones, does it?

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

As if to rub it in, you hire Zionistic people to investigate crimes perpetrated by Zionists. It's a flawed strategy and declinature should apply (i.e don't judge based on vested interest). Richard Goldstone is a Jew and he has no place investigating OCL. Also, aware of this, he may attempt to tip the balance the other way so I don't see getting to the bottom of the matter happening.

So many innocent Palestinians lost their lives with NO Hamas men near. Also, you didn't allow journalists in which was shocking.

Please come to terms with the fact that Zionists went against standard Jews and they caused problems. Rabbis and Zionists are not easy bedfellows.

Language / Anyone use "SERWUS"? [46]

I had a guy say it today. He came to the school I teach at and he is one of the guys I play football with. He always says it.

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

The Poles are generally indifferent when it comes to Jews but don't forget about Żegota and the other brave efforts of Polish families that Szpilman mentioned. Let's not forget that it was not the Poles fault that Hitler hated Jews. In fact, although not their fault of course, the Jews brought the Nazis to Poland's doorstep. Yes, Poland was a target anyway but more so for having Jews.

Vodka? Why would a country willingly give themselves up for brainwashing? That doesn't make sense.

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

Some do and some don't, scrappy. Collusion is big as you will know better than me, living in amongst many Jews in the States. I really don't see Jews here tbh. They know how to manipulate the system, I'll give them that much.

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

Credit where credit is due, the Jews have really made inroads in different areas. Yes, they like blocking roads too but they have worked hard to put themselves into favourable positions.

No, Szostak was born in London but lived in Canada for a long time.

News / Polish converts: When did you have your revelation? [29]

Ta, dupa! That's your revelation right there.

Life / Wonderful Poland.......but the attitude of Polish people [150]

I can understand his frustration. I remember having a discussion with a super student of mine who warned me about his countrymen. He said that some will just sit there like proud generals, looking down their nose at you and thinking nothing of it. Well, I am in charge and they will do as I instruct them. Otherwise, they can get out of the classroom and stop wasting my time. Some just sit there motionless and I have no time for that.

Indeed, good luck Yoshi! Ganbarimashou :)

Life / Wonderful Poland.......but the attitude of Polish people [150]

I hear what you are saying, Yoshi. It's weird how nations as successful as Japan, America and Scotland can be seen as untermenschen.

They are insular and ethnocentric but don't be too disheartened. There are many great people here who, when you get to know them, would really help you out.

Life / Wonderful Poland.......but the attitude of Polish people [150]

Many here are against Asians and have many bad words for them. The look given is strange, I saw it yesterday when a Polish woman served a Japanese woman. I helped her out a little bit.

Life / Wonderful Poland.......but the attitude of Polish people [150]

Which part of Poland do you live in, Yoshi?

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

Stern, as clearly as possible?? Nonsense, how come 4500 were injured and 1300 killed? The IDF targetted major civilian areas and bombed from above. That's absurd!!

The IDF use human shields too and I'll show you evidence if you wish.

News / IS NOBLE WINNER SZOSTAK POLISH? [68]

I agree with stern here. Jewish people have undoubtedly contributed towards the development in humanity if you look at research&innovation.

Yes, there is genetic similarity, you are right. However, please acknowledge that it is a 2-way thing? The IDF is no better than Hamas. Operation Cast Lead wasn't cold mass murder? From the time of the Oslo Accords, I did a calculation that it would take the Palestinian militant factions 50 years to kill as many Jews as the IDF did in just 3 weeks during OCL. Staggering!

I think he was born in London though am unaware of his parentage.
