Life / Surviving the Polish Winter [27]


depends where you are flying from. If from the USA, buy it there, clothing is cheaper in the states.


it can, but not that often. the coldest areas in Poland are the northeast, then the east and southeast. northwest and southwest have milder winters.

Life / My neighbours in Poland are stealing all my things [180]


No it isn't.


Then they are either quitters, or dolts. They should have just bought or built a fence instead of fooling around with expensive landscape shrubbery.


While living in the United States Randompal has had 3 bikes stolen. Number of bikes stolen while living in Poland: zero.


Randompal has never had a problem on any train in Poland.

finally someone agrees with Randompal

News / What do you think about what the Kaczynskis say about Germans ? [90]


conjecture.


It's fine that they are fighting for Poland's rights, but the way that they do it makes them look like total bumpkins. Most educated Poles are embarassed of their overall style.

UK, Ireland / Anti-Polish sentiment of England [253]


No place for Arabs in Europe or no place for Muslims in Europe? Because as you well know, they are not always one and the same. But just so we're on the same page, it's not OK for Arabs to come here, but it's OK for Poland to go to Iraq to help Uncle Scam liberate some oil from those uppity camel jockeys?

Randompal would like to see all the cheesy stag party holiday Brits who come to Poland for a cheap beer go home, because they are not wanted.

where in Warsaw is it? good thing Randompal needs a haircut soon!

Life / I don't understand why my girlfriend wants to live in crime-prone Krakow [37]

Randompal has some advice for you:

If your girlfriend tried living in the States and didn't like it, do her a solid by trying life in her country (maybe if you end up hating Poland but you still love eachother you can agree on a comprimise and move somewhere else in Europe later).

You can always go back to the States if things don't work out - as you probably well know, one doesnt lose one's citizenship just because one moves to another country for a while.

Why mention that you are poor? You are not poor (Randompal hates that word), just financially troubled. Being financially troubled in America is no different than being financially troubled here - except that here you at least get your healthcare covered, which is one less worry.

As a native speaker of English, you can always make some cash as an English teacher - the pay isn't so bad, Randompal knows many people in Warsaw who make a decent living doing it.

If you move here and it doesnt work out, you can always go home. If you stay home without giving it a shot, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

Randompal logic: An attachment to your country is no different than an attachment to a nice piece of ass. Say good bye and move on but don't burn your bridges, you never know when you may get back together. Countries are like girls, there are quite a few out there that can make you happy, it just depends on who you're with...

By the way: Polish cities aren't as stratified by income (although this is changing) lik American cities are. This means that in one building you can have a desperately impoverished pensioner living next door to an investment banker, and this is especially true in older buildings. If your house is consistently broken into, Randompal suspects any of the following may be true:

1. You or your girlfriend have a big mouth and all the neighbors know/think there is a rich American living there.
2. You have an old door with flimsy locks (a theft-resistant door costs about 1200 zloty and I recommend it for your piece of mind)
3. Your apartment number is 13 and you will be cursed there until you move out (but Randompal is not superstitious)

Good luck, Randompal wishes you a positive and productive stay in Krakow!


Randompal disagrees with this statement, which is not based on fact in the least. Randompal did nicely for himself in the USA with a relatively comfy middle-class lifestyle and Randompal does equally nicely for himself in Warsaw, although a little extra cash would be welcome. Living in America is no guarantee that you will attain financial success, just like it is not foretold that by moving to Poland you will be forced live like a bum.

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]


Randompal postulates that every suckling babe is worth its weight in gold and then some, no matter what the color or nationality. They turn into racist fools once they start going to school, reading the papers, and watching television. Once they start believing whatever the politicians say without questioning almost everything, their transformation is complete - dumb ignorant racist prikcs.

Life / Opinions about Radio Maryja [134]


Randompal is armed with both facts and opinions.

Fact: Father Rydzyk is known as "Father Director" and he is a media magnate. His empire consists of a radio station with a rather broad reach, a newspaper, and he also runs a college. His operations are based in Toruń, Poland. As a businessman he is quite successful, which affords him substantial political clout. He is sometimes criticised for homphobic and anti-semitic remarks.

Opinion: The Father Director is to Poland what Rupert Murdoch is to the rest of the world: an intrusive, meddling right-wing business player. Because he is a Bible thumper he can also be compared to guys like Fallwell in the States. In other words, Bible thumpers on the surface who get busted for pantysniffing and prostitution. Who knows what goes on in his well-guarded palaces and dungeons. He hates the media (unless it is a newspaper he himself controls), and many politicians are either conrolled by him or are afraid of him because of his power. Words that come to mind: tyrant, megalomaniac, creepo.


Randompal is against squares and nerds telling him or anyone else what normal is and what isn't normal.

Randompal isn't interested in stealing or borrowing Gary's style, Randompal has his own.

Democrats have been in control of congress for how many years? They have the majority since last year, not so? Their republican friends werent in such a hurry to waive visas for Poles before the demorats took over..domocrats, republicans, jeden chuj

USA, Canada / 7 day holiday to america, does my Polish girlfriend require a visa? [19]


that's why many of my friends here don't want to bother, I always hear "screw that we're not standing in some goddamn line in front of the US embassy like a bunch of fools just to be told to go away by Uncle Scam" (and they keep your money anyway even if they dont give you a visa - what a ripoff!!)

USA, Canada / How can I help my Polish friend become a US Citizen [30]

well then they better start saving their pesos, because the US dollar is already weaker than the Canadian dollar, unless something has changed since yesterday..

USA, Canada / How can I help my Polish friend become a US Citizen [30]


help them by telling them to think twice. the dollar will soon be worth less than the Mexican Peso..

USA, Canada / No US Visa Waiver for Poles - 8/9/07 [96]


That's not the point, the visa waiver program is for tourist visas not work visas. Now there's another good lesson in gratitude for the good people of Poland:) Let's congratulate all the Poles who overstayed their visas and ruined it for the rest, who just wanted a visa to visit Ciocia Zosia. What with the sinking dollar, the percentage of Poles who overstay their tourist visas will drop faster than a dress on prom night since it won't make financial sense to work in the USA, but it WILL make sense to breeze over to Amercia for a quick shopping trip. Then those jackals in Congress will give Poles visa waivers fo' sho'

Love / Illegal Polish girl wants me to marry her for citizenship [124]

yes, aaranged marriages are actually the rule, not the exception, especially in the country. what's more, in Poland if you are a forreigner and a man wants to marry you he has the right to take away your passport (new statute) and keep you against your will. be warned.

Love / Illegal Polish girl wants me to marry her for citizenship [124]

Ha ha now that the US dollar is worth less than the Canadian dollar this gold-diggin ho from Poland will probably split for Toronto on the next northbound train.


Well, I have heard people say just that, and not all of them are what you would call America haters. And these are people who have spent years living in the US, and they just simply had enough after 5 or 10, or in some cases even 20 years. Some people just don't want to become Americans and that's something you can't blame anyone for, and everyone can have an opinion as is their right. Time to admit though, America's just like any other place: it takes money to make money, other than that its all a crap shoot...

UK, Ireland / Why do Poles come to England? [514]


I like my country and that's why I choose to stay here. I don't think any country is better than Poland, and certainly not England, which is full of fat arrogant bores, bad food, and weather even worse than Poland's. Plus in England they have those ridiculous seperate hot/cold water taps in bathrooms - you would think that the greedy clods who once ran an international empire would think of a smarter way to wash.

UK, Ireland / Foreigners: Please don't buy the English Land! [83]


I could care less if they feel guilty, just like I could care less about buying overpriced Brittish land and whether I am allowed to or not. In fact, I don't even feel like visiting England, a place I remember to have had weather no better than Poland's, food worse than in Poland, and Brittish girls were ugly, fat, and they all speak funny.
