News / Liga Polskich Rodzin- A worthy option? [56]

What is so stupid about buying land, Sokrates? I really fail to see your point here.

Filios, Giertych's reputation precedes him. Many Poles know that a vote for him is a vote for a borderline fascist who will deviate from his manifesto faster than Bolt can run the 100m.

Wow, really? I never would have guessed ;)

Fewer self righteous gits :)

Life / I'm an American who lived in Poland for 6 years. I'm not welcome anymore. [169]

This is more of a story. Did you have the article translated, B (lowfunk)? It alludes to hypocrisy in that Poles work in the US not entirely legally yet they can't allow one isolated case to happen here. It's all tit-for-tat BS because Obama won't waiver the visa requirement. B, keep your head up but please don't trust Polish schools, they just want you as a money maker for them.

I see it everywhere now, lusting after money. I'm glad the Scots are a thrifty bunch, far better than being grabbing.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish girls replacing Irish girls? [41]

Well, all babies of any nationality finish off their milk eventually :)

UK, Ireland / Are Polish girls replacing Irish girls? [41]

A Celtic Slavic mix is what our kid will have and I'm proud of that. Celts and Slavs are industrious people and the mix will be worth seeing.

So if you get called whitie, you wouldn't take it as racist? Is singles out your skin for no good reason.

That's your perogative, RN, you can have your fully Irish kid but let others make their own legal and well-informed choices.

Life / I'm an American who lived in Poland for 6 years. I'm not welcome anymore. [169]

Skipping legalities seems to be hard as they go through rigorous interviews here. Furthermore, where is the checking process at the other end? I thought Homeland Security and monitoring had been upped. How can so many slip through the net undetected?

UK, Ireland / Are Polish girls replacing Irish girls? [41]

A darkie, that's a bit racist! Would not date out of his town? That's very insular and homogeneous. There's so much choice, why limit yourself?

UK, Ireland / How many paddies in Poland? [38]

By force reads really well, lexi. Stealth has been the choice of the powers that be for many's a year. Iraq, for example, being one of the main ones.

Don't know how many Irish are in Poland and don't really care.

UK, Ireland / Irish Primary schools to teach Polish [223]

You addressed WB though.

UK, Ireland / How many paddies in Poland? [38]

Well that's not the best argument in the world, lexi. There are other illegal occupations around the world. It hinges on what you recognise as legal and illegal. Many points are contested, needless to say.

Capital punishment has clear pros and cons, it's a sticky wicket :)

News / Liga Polskich Rodzin- A worthy option? [56]

Sorry, Poles can buy land in the UK so we should be able to do likewise here.

Legalisation of abortion? Highly contingent on the specifics.

Euthanasia? Again, they'd need to show that they broadly understand PVS and informed consent

Gay marriage? It's an emerging reality but would be out of place in Poland. Still, that shouldn't preclude the right to have one.

Capital punishment? It depends on its operation and may go against some EU legislation

Super thread, Filios, I have heard bad things about the party but don't know about the specifics.

History / Are Poles the ones who understand Russians better than anyone? [35]

Oh, tough talk from PennBoy behind a computer, hehehe. There were many Russians in Shimane-ken where I was. Mostly ******! How complicated ;)

I'm listening, boy.

I'll have a look for that, that sounds hilarious. Virtuousness blasted away.

He must have written than tongue-in-cheek, WB. Maybe he expected everyone to get together for him and give a toss.

Love / My Perfect Love Story so I thought [73]

Many truths in there, john. Guys need to use their noses more. If my fiancee pulled anything like those stunts, she'd know about it in the strongest way. I have done bad things by her but I'd never cheat.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish girls replacing Irish girls? [41]

Well, they know what they want and they go for it. Irish men may be willing to pay for their expensive lifestyle.

Love / Polish girls are the funniest [26]

Not nice to Irish girls, why would that be? They do think they are better, I agree with that. They have vanity drummed into them from a young age. It's quite embarrassing, frankly. It gets very tedious hearing about it in class and they need to get out more.

History / Are Poles the ones who understand Russians better than anyone? [35]

Maybe so, maybe not. It depends on the points they are trying to make.

So, Greg, any contributions to the thread?

Love / Real relationship with a polish girl [26]

Wild romanticism just doesn't work with Polish girls, they'll clean you out very quickly if you show this. Dnz may come across as harsh to some but he's right on the money.

History / Are Poles the ones who understand Russians better than anyone? [35]

Of course you do, PennBoy ;) So, spill the beans lad. Give us a psychological profile and tell us sth we didn't already know. We are listening :)

News / Buzek. another step to abyss? [41]

CK, insiders tell you the same. Kasparov is but one. I don't buy the media accounts but the proof is in the asking.

Tell me, how do you rate your freedoms in Russia?

Life / Why build a supermarket with 20 checkouts with only 3 till staff? [46]

Precisely, people will be as people will be. Maybe we are just like each other? ;)

News / Buzek. another step to abyss? [41]

Not all of us think that way, or are afforded the luxury of even being able to think that way, CK.

Time to separate the government and the people again, methinks.

Life / Why build a supermarket with 20 checkouts with only 3 till staff? [46]

I might try that, Matyjasz, but I like to drift through life spokojnie. Let them think that way, it just lowers my estimation of them. Scots tend to be hospitable people but I wouldn't describe us as polite in shops generally. Not in the stereotypical meaning of polite anyway. The main difference is that there is more contact when buying your things in a shop. Many Poles have this distant arrogance, like they don't care about anything at all. When they say goodbye, it's not done with any emotion or sense of meaning it. I always smile and make eye contact when saying it.

Still, back to the topic. There were occasions in Plus (when it was Plus and not the switchover to Biedronka) that the second til was vacated but it really needed to be manned (or womanned if such a word exists, lol). The key for foreigners (and Poles but many are used to it) is understanding. Even a basic understanding of motivational issues will make it clear why they are not so enthusiastic so there must be some empathy.

List and letter can be confused. Feerst and sheert instead of first and shirt. Grope instead of group, a big mistake :)

I sailed through the Tesco checkout tonight. They seemed to be better organised this time round. The only thing was when, standing at the checkout, I decided to go and get some sausages. The wifies were gabbling away and one of them pointed out that I was waiting, to which her colleague replied 'niech on czeka, jest tylko obcokrajowcem'. I should've fuc*ed with their heads for doing that but I didn't.

Yeah, gotta hate them, right? ;) ;)
