USA, Canada / american girl and a polish boy, how to stay in Poland legally? [14]

Contact a lawyer that deals in immigration cases. Tell him the facts, especially the part where you were teaching at the school and your visa situation. This will be expensive but you should get all the facts, lawyers there are 3X what they are here in the States, believe me.

Good Luck.

Life / WHY POLISH PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR NATIVE FIRST NAME WHEN ABROAD? [136]

Most westerners can not pronounce Polish names properly, and when they try, they butcher it. Rather than having them learn the proper way to say it; we translate it to the western equivalent and make it easier on them. That doesn't mean that they westerners can't try.

News / Japanese red maples in Poland [15]

I was wondering if Japanese red maples can grow in southern Poland, I can't seem to find any info on the subject.
The tree can grow from a landscape zone of 5-9. A 5 is similar to the weather in New York which is somewhat the same as Polands.

Does anyone know or ever tried this?

I was jusgt going to restore my familys home and clad the exterior with

What an odd question. Do you run a nursery, PC? Looking to export trees, maybe?
I know they have Dogwoods, I saw one in a photo someone posted here.

I was going to restore my family home. The exterior is going to be clad with all white porcelain architectural tiles, its all going to be monochrome like a Richard Meier house. For the landscaping I was going to plant Japanese Red Maples in the front yard giving it the traditional colors of Poland white and red.

Thanks for the info and the suggestions. Are you a professional landscaper or landscape architect?
I'll start growing a few of the Japanese maples this summer (in a pot). Good Idea with the wall climbers, I hope they can cling-on to the porcelain tiles.

Would covering a plant in fleece prevent it from getting air? I was thinking I'd use some snipers ghillie suit netting its pretty compact and very breathable, and not very expensive in the states anyways.

Thanks again, you gave me some great ideas.

the stupid Pole, right? I remember a incident a month or so ago when the BNP used a Spitfire plane as there backdrop for their anti-immigration campaign against Eastern Europeans, namely Poles. The Spitfire was from the 303 Squadron, a Polish squadron.

Cheers Mate.

News / Russia and Poland possibility of the alliance [75]

Good idea Crow, I know several slavs from all walks that are thinking that way. I could see this happening in the next 100-150 years. As we move into a multi-polar world, and the dwindling of the western powers I could see a Slavic Confederacy emerging.

Only problem is can bitter feelings from historic feuds impede this. Also is Russia going to behave or is the bear going to sit himself at the head of the table and not share the honey? Plus the populations of most if not all Slavic countries is slowly declining.

News / POLISH POLICE PRAY FOR ROAD SAFETY.... [23]

Polish roads were not designed the way the autobahn was.
The roads are far too small and there are too many cars on those roads.
The width of a highway in Poland is about the size of a residential street in Texas where the speed limit is 35 mph.
I would rather invest in mass transit like trains. Lets face it in Poland you can drive for two hours straight and only be 100km from where you left.

UK, Ireland / UK Poles attack Daily Mail 'bias' [33]

The British have had enough of the numbers of Poles that have arrived here and public opinion is turning against them.
They are looked on as parasites now and the majority want them to turn around and go back to Poland.
The Daily Mail is just voicing public opinion and they are right to do so.

Poles have come to your country because your politicians in their greed have chosen to exploit them with cheap labor.
So they opened the gates and unemployed Poles flooded the available market place. Its easier to pay a Pole a fraction of the wage than full price to a Brit because they know damn well a Brit can not live off those wages.

This is nothing new, this is globalization.
Poles don't want to be in your country any more than you want them there; they are there for the money. Its the same in the US, companies hire people from India because its the largest English speaking country on earth, so why pay an American $12.00 an hour when an Indian will work for that a day.

So if you don't want foreigners in your country tell it to your "democratically" elected leaders.

Language / Overuse of the words 'po prostu', esp among females [41]

no no , they say "narmean"?

They say Naw'mean on this side of the pond, almost every other word.

I think K#%wa is the most over used word, I heard conversions where it was the first and last word in a sentence. Like this dude here.

News / Anti Gravity Device in Ludwikowice KĹ‚odzkie in Silesia [8]

This is a place I'm planing to visit next time I'm in Poland. I saw this on the History Channel last month, not sure if its tourist accessible. You might be able to see the the outside test facility but the Mine I have no idea.

Contact Igor Witkowski
igorwitkowski.com/contact.html

He gave the tour to the History Channel guys. He would be the guy to ask. Let us know how it went.

Wenceslas mine is in Poland

Poland as far as I know, that's what they said when they were filming there.

News / Should Poles become a minority in Poland? [150]

Good post but there's little point offering rational argument to a bigot.

They maybe racists but they are not supremacists, they maybe nationalists but they are not bigots, since their Catholicism prevents them from being both. There are always exception to the rule. Your argument is that you want what's happening in Britain to happen in Poland?- No thanks.

No answer?

Your obviously proposing multi-culturalism, two questions.
1. Whats the goal (the end) of multi-culturalism?
2. Do cultures compete?

News / Should Poles become a minority in Poland? [150]

If not multi-culturalism than what are you proposing?

Genetic and racial characteristic are secondary to cultural and religious differences and you are mixing both together.

How are they secondary to culture and religion when culture and religion are not passed through blood and play no role in the spread of ideas?

History / Germans Exiles & Museum in Berlin in the eyes of Poles and UE nationals. [106]

Ironside:
In my opinion that action is motivated by the desire to get back land lost to Poland, so be it!

Whatever it is, the fact remains that it was Germany that started the Second World War, they lost and surrendered UNCONDITIONALLY to the Allies.
Meaning that it could have and perhaps should have been, a free for all to divide and partition Germany to the point that a Germany did not even exist. Like Poland was for quite some time throughout history.

So Stienbach and her crypto-nazi friends can bit*h, complain, do puppet shows, and build whatever the hell they want. Reality is they are getting nothing back.

Does anyone take what she says seriously, (other than those who think like her) she wants to portray the Nazis and their acts in a positive light. Pretty soon they are going to want compensation for German soldiers killed in the Warsaw Uprising and the Blitzkrieg.

Mr Grunwald

That's what he does on this forum, he's an antagonist, among other things. (him, Harry and a few others) He writes on a topic that gets people fired up and when they respond to him with emotion he gets his jollies. Just ignore him it's the best thing.

History / "Shafting the Poles" [44]

Seriously though, shafting the Poles will result in a lifelong grudge and some reprisals.

I doubt it, from the above article the only thing we can expect is that Poland will fail yet again to learn its lesson. They should just develop a good memory and not trust or depend on their so-called allies.

Just today I read an article that the Patriot missile system they were to receive will not be equipped with warheads. It would have made a good joke if it were funny.

Real Estate / Where can i buy a cheap house or a flat in Poland? [43]

Any links to real estate in Krakow, not necessarily AngleCity or the new developments going up but some of the older buildings flats. It does not have to be near the Market Square but also not on the outskirts.

Life / IKEA in Warsaw [30]

That doesn't mean it's cheap quality,

Sorry, to tell you- it is cheap. All it is, is cheap veneers on particle board, mostly.
I agree with you that you get what you pay for. If you want quality modern furniture you should check out Knolls, or design within reach. I think they ship international or should have a place in Europe. Its expensive but worth it. Make sure its authentic, the Chinese make alot of cheap knock-offs that have flooded the market.

News / The Polish-Hungarian friendship is as well as poisoned [45]

Is Hungary part of Poland? No, of course not. So Poles likely don't care that much.

Maybe they are trying to shake some reparations out of Hungry for supporting the Nazi cause and bla bla bla ......the same old song and dance.

Watch, in thirty years when WWII is mostly history they will ask for reparations from the Brits and the French because they promised to defend Poland (therefore Jews by proxi) and did not.

Great food, drink, fun cities, weird and cool language, thermal baths. Fantastic place.

You forgot to mention the beautiful women.

Serbs have to be punished for something

Serbia is similar to Poland in this respect, your force fed mouth fulls of sh!t from all (even from so called friends) and yet your expected to keep a straight face and keep asking for more.

Fu(k'em.

Life / Are Polish people civilised or not? My thoughts... [52]

Rev
What exactly defines civilized?
Eating with a fork and knife, wearing pants and shoes, not wiping your bum with your finger and not invading others nation based on lies to take oil?

All this can be said for all people from all walks.
You have your cosmopolitan intellectuals, silent and respectful types, the hard working, psycho and sociopaths, and your favorite, sluts.

Have bedded a few of them

(Which few, the ones you successfully chloroformed, gagged, and drug home?)

intimidating looking people

You should meet some of my Blackwater buddies; you'll see intimidating.
