UK, Ireland / Polls for Poles in the UK [178]

but not what i don't

Disagree.
Lack of knowledge of any particular subject becomes apparent when one posts on a forum about that subject.

Arguing is over aggressive discussion

No. That's having a row.
An argument can be a stated reason for or against an idea.
That, is my argument.

hay don't think htis is one way, i also agree with you

Oh no! This is getting too friendly. I might have to disagree.

i do read all the arguments against me

I assumed that you at least glance over or scan through what other people have said in your arguments, sorry, debates. I don't think you always take it all in. Some arguments people make do move somewhat laterally, but that includes you too.

an animal of some kind

I'll come back as a goat next time... if there is a next time.

you don't have a clue what i know and don't know

You make some of it pretty obvious to this forum.

you accused me of sitting on a high horse, you might want to read your last post and think about what you look like sometimes

My horse has steadier legs, and you might notice I'm not always as stubborn as a donkey.
I have principles that will never move, but some of my opinions can change given strong enough facts and good argument. On some matters, I will admit to having no opinion whatsoever - there is nothing wrong with that.

however i don't feel i get the same respect back.

I respect that you can lighten up at times with the same people you have just been arguing with (by that I mean against).
Occasionally, I even agree with you, but quite often I find you continually making a point we have all got, but that you don't seem to pay any attention the arguments made against it.

Tornado00000, you don't understand economics, politics, international diplomacy, or when to shut up.

i just wouldn't want to do in another country in a public arena

So you would deny the rights of others...

...we've been through this before. PAY ATTENTION.

Love / When does flirting get out of control? [35]

think Bubba was onto something different

I realise now. I hadn't read the last couple of posts.

* Donkey drops key to bicycle lock on floor *

This thread is not about flirting getting out of control.
No-one has actually flirted.
Yet.

no osiol your not stupid enough to lead off into the 'i'm questioning your intelligence or ability to understand something' i hope

No, but I've given you many arguments before in favour of the UK's membership of the EU, but you got stuck on many simple statements I had made, so I'm not going to bother repeating myself.

don't particularly want to and don't particularly think voting on foreign land should happen in the way i stated

Just because you don't want to vote, that doesn't mean you should deny the rights of others.

i think your trying to pull a fast one

Look it up. Ever filled out a voter registration card?

Polo's horses?

making a big mistake...

why??

Too many reasons for you to fathom.

first you let foreign nationals vote on their elections

Then they let you vote on their soil in yours perhaps.

Love / When does flirting get out of control? [35]

It was just a casual date.

You were still annoyed enough with her to start with.
If your date had left with her and not with you, I imagine I might have heard you from this side of the Atlantic.

What did I miss out on???

Nothing.

Alright, I shall summarise.

Imagine that the woman in your story actually successfully nicked your date off you.

Language / "ksiegarnia" = "bookshop"? [14]

Also for pronunciation, I have more than once seen the technique of working out Polish words a syllable at a time, starting with the end of the word, working forwards.

nia
garnia
ęgarnia
sięgarnia
księgarnia

I hope I haven't accidentally put any rude words in there.

its not a good idea to swallow those things that look like polo's there actually sleeping pills

Who needs sleeping pills when you're off on one?
Polo's what?

Citizens of other EU countries can't vote in Westminster parliamentary elections, but they can register to vote at local government, devolved legislature (ie. Scottish parliament, Welsh assembly) and in European Parliament elections.

How do you like that, eh, Torny?

UK, Ireland / Polish teenager murdered after arriving in UK [117]

flat mates being robbed at knife point

When I was a student, I had a gun pointed at me in a robbery that was actually in someone's house.

i shall not mention the colour of the attacker

I shall. They were white. Heroin addicts.

1944 - Little help (if any) during Warsaw Uprising.

The RAF provided the only continuous support during the uprising. I got that from Wikipedia, but I'd read stuff about it elsewhere.

2007 - one tornado2007 claims that Poles should not be allowed to vote

Who cares what he thinks?

UK, Ireland / Polls for Poles in the UK [178]

if there was a vote tomorrow! then the uk would be out

Probably. Because there are too many sheep and not enough thinkers.
The UK would be worse off for it too.

the asian community

There isn't such thing as 'The Asian Community'.

we could have the best health service

Great. The country has been waiting for it for 60 years or so.

the best in education

Ha ha ha!

PS. Poland's alright.

News / Polish Tourists wrestle and kill attacking bear! [39]

The Japanese have killed all the whales

Not quite all of them.

Nobody complains, do they?

Yes they do.

When do I complain?

I don't think there would be enough room for me to put in links to all your posts where you have complained about anything.

Love / Bad experience with a Polish Guy who... had another girlfriend :( [49]

After reading that I became a bit apprehensive using it

Do you mean using the swearing or using Polish Forums dot com?
The swearing page was the first one I found and it lured me into the forum.

The problem with knowing Polish blokes and not knowing any Polish women (in real life, that is), is that I don't learn much about how to say nice things!

I meant English swearing

Sorry, I hadn't checked your profile.
Still, it teaches you a few words both ways.
The first post is good, but it rapidly declines afterwards!

I'm too polite!

I have just thought: who the hell invites their girlfriend to meet their other girlfriend?
Someone who doesn't want even one girlfriend?
A masochist?
A complete idiot?
A combination of the above?

Language / Abecadło (The alphabet) [19]

In both Spanish and Polish d is roughly similar to English

Yes, similar, but Spanish and Polish are more similar.
From all the Polish I've heard, the tongue is held more horizontally and closer to the teeth than in English.

The aspiration thing was something I should have mentioned.

According to a teacher of mine Wiktor Jassem, there are only 3 sounds which are identical in both English and Polish

There are too many forms of English for such a statement.
I only have to travel a few miles to hear a different regional accent.
There are differences in pronunciation between generations, classes...

I'd be interested to know about the variety of forms within the Polish language.

girls can't attempt to "leave" a genetic print while visiting a place

Unless you stay there for a very long time.
