Life / Cigarette Smoking in Poland [146]
I like smoking.
I die when I die, I'm not afraid of death, it's a natural occurrence of life=).
For me, it's relaxing, gives me something to look forward to in the day, love the feeling of having one after meals...stressful moments....with alcohol....
It's enjoyable
Maybe if you smoked you wouldn't be so uptight.

History / Poland Betrayed in WW2 [243]
They came back after 123 years of being non-existent, I think the Polish are very patriotic and did what they could to survive.
poles always have been a bunch of wind up merchants due a good kicking - were then and are now - and then they wonder why they keep getting dumped on

Does anyone know what the basic requirements are for a foreigner(non EU) to go to university in Poland? And also would you have to be fluent in Polish or are there a lot of courses offered in English?
Thanks.

Love / BLACK GUYS POLISH WOMEN [809]
Get over it....How many black people does a Polish person encounter in their life time? Not a whole hell of a lot, Poland is mostly white people and how can they become educated about racial tolerance if they have no experience with another race? It's really no surprise, black people are a minority in Central/Eastern Europe.

Language / Genitive case ("nie ma nic" vs "nie ma niczego") [71]
Okay that's a relief, I wanted to make sure I wasn't creating my own grammar rules=P i noticed 'nie ma nic' is used a lot more often though than 'niczego'
Grammatically correct is nie ma niczego as niczego is the genitive case of nic. But nie ma nic is used more in everyday language

Language / Common mistakes made by foreigners in Polish [90]
Differences between ś and sz, or ć and cz are hard for foreigners to grasp I think. Also when ę is at the end of the word, I don't think most foreigners will add the nasal sound.

I think if you're looking to learn Polish fast then those other languages might interfere with your Polish....I would concentrate on Polish for a while and when you feel comfortable with imperfective/perfective verbs, declension, have some vocabulary then you should continue with your other languages
