Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]

Gay doesn't actually mean weak. You will find quite a number of gay men amongst military, police, in the gym, ect. It does make sense you know. Strong, sweaty men fighting, wrestling, testosterone in the air, buttocks slapping and hitting the showers together afterwards. :)


If you think that teachers can have that big of a impact on young boys psyche, then judging by the numbers of women in the school system here in Poland,( I would estimate that 80% of all teachers are women) almost all young men in Poland should be very feminine these days.

Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]


There isn't really any point in having a conversation with tomek about this subject.

Personally I don't give a rats rear if homosexuality is a mental disease or not. They seem to manage pretty well without any remedy so why force any on them?

As for homosexual teachers, I don't see how exactly one sexual preferences should have any impact on the teaching skills of a teacher.

Language / Do Polish Movies Help learn the language? [60]


Yep. In Poland it's OK to show movies on TV where people are being raped, slaughtered and decapitated as long as the bad guys mind their language. ;)

Life / How do Polish people view themselves? [92]


Well than, after reading David_18's post I see where is EraAtlantia coming from. :)

USA, Canada / Why would someone leave Poland for the US? [120]

Hello there jeffgordon. It looks like you have already made up your mind. When are you coming to Polska? ;)

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]

Actually I was just kidding. There are plenty of handsome polish lads. Most of my friends never complained about their popularity. The fashion was certainly an issue back in the 90's and prior to that, but we are catching up. :)

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]

we are not ugly. We are just specific. ;)

Life / POLES' ENGLISH COMPARED TO EUROPE AS A WHOLE? [39]


O now that’s just harsh. Unfortunately, I will have to agree with Shelley. An average Pole's English is very poor, especially if you want to compare his knowledge with the one of his Scandinavian or Dutch peers. I'm not talking here about any "professionals" but rather about an average Jan Kowalski. I blame it on the way kids are being taught the language at high school here. There is just too big focus being made on grammar, with the time spent on conversations almost equal to zero.

Love / Who makes a good Polish wife? [75]

Who makes a good Polish wife? I heard that asians make good Polish wifes. ;)

Love / polish boyfriend has wrecked my english [48]

I am interesting what you all has to say. ;)

Life / HAND-KISSING WANING IN POPULARITY? [29]


Yep, it's 3 here in Poland.

Life / Who brings presents in Radomsko or Poland in general? [7]

Hehehhe... :) In Wielkopolska the person who brings presents is called Gwiazdor, which literally means Star Man.

Gwiazdor also means celebrity in Polish. I swear one day i will dress up as Michał Wisniewski and scare the living crap out of my kid! ;)

"And who did you expect you little bastard!"

Travel / Recommendations for Zakopane [48]

Zakopower doesn't really cut it for moi. I prefer Psio Crew! Bielsko-Biała baby! Szumi Jawor soundsystem. The video clip is kitschy but I love the music. Highlanders on amphetamine. ;)

News / England and Poland are friends [28]

England and Poland are friends. They are giving high five to each other. :o)

Love / Polish girlfriend and birth control! [62]

Why are so many people on here so quick to judge and abuse others is beyond me.

It doesn't look as if m_26 was abusing his girlfriend. It seems that they both love each other and are aware and willing to face the consequences of their actions.

To answer your question m_26,


Nobody can force you to marry her, however I doubt if she would want to become a single mother. I think it's time you two should talk.

Life / A trip to a Polish supermarket [136]

I would advise you not to buy sliced bread. It may be more comfortable, as you don't have to slice it yourself, but bear in mind that a bread has to cool down before it can be sliced and packed, thus it's really not that fresh when it arrives at your shop’s/bakery's shelves.

History / Polish and Russian propaganda posters [18]


I think it's from the polish-bolshevik war, so it did actually work out. :)

Life / Poles are very polite nation! [47]

hehehe true true :)

Ohh, and I would like to say that I agree with you with what you have stated in your previous comment.

Life / Poles are very polite nation! [47]


It's all Jim Morrison's fault. "The West is the best...lalala" ;)

News / What did Poland get out of the wars and struggles for others? [1108]


lol It just can't get any more funny than this. ;)

As for Czechs, they are a very pragmatic nation. Thanks to this pragmatism if I would have to choose in which city I would like to live these days, Prague or Warsaw, I would definately choose Prague, so their political choices couldn't have been that bad.


Here here!

News / Social mobility in Poland [5]

Hmm... There are no social classes as such, however I'm sure there are some groups of interests that try to establish their position in the country.

Life / The Quality of Water In Poland. Should we boil and filter it? [38]


Bingo. Out of 200 something brands of bottled water being sold as mineral water on polish market only a dozen actually could be called that name. The rest, as you mentioned, fill from the same water system the public uses. It leads to a situation where very often people buy bottled water that is of lower quality than their tap water.

History / German POWs after WW2 - did the allies commit mass murder? [228]


So what you are saying is that Germany's aggression on Poland in 1939 was just a pre-emptive strike?

Life / A trip to a Polish supermarket [136]

That made me giggle. :)

History / German POWs after WW2 - did the allies commit mass murder? [228]


I'm this close to believe that it was actually Poland that started the war. Lol

News / NUDE BRITISH MEN RUNNING AROUND IN WROCLAW [82]

Alcohol is for the people. It puts in a good mood, etc... Alas, when you overdo it you risk looking like a pathetic fool.

Life / Do we have TV in Poland? [38]


I have some critical thoughts about the EU, but on the whole I would say "Well done Europe". :)

Life / Do we have TV in Poland? [38]

I've noticed that a lot of Europeans like to make fun of Americans because of their limited knowledge about geography. Truth be told we are not any better than they are. Just as SeanBM wrote, no country is free of ignorance. Ask any Pole what he knows about Moldova for example. Hell, why go that far, ask him about Baltic states, I doubt he knows much.

A very big proportion of British people I had the chance to meet had problems with pointing out exact location of Poland on a map. The things are slowly changing though. I bet that if Borat was made 20 years ago, he wouldn't be Kazakh, but most probably a Pole, Slovak or Lithuanian. We are slowly getting to know each other more.

UK, Ireland / My friends upset at Brits.... [51]

I never gave any thoughts how exactly the US/GB immigrants are depict here by the press, so thank you very much for the reply. Very interesting indeed. I wouldn't worry about the comments beneath the on-line articles. They are usually full of hate regardless of the content of the article.

UK, Ireland / My friends upset at Brits.... [51]


Could you elaborate on this a little more? I'm genuinely curious.
