News / is o2.pl only for poland emails? [21]

Several years ago I met and fell in love with a Polish girl while she was visiting here in America. We exchanged email addresses and she urged me to keep in touch. Hers was a o2.pl address and mine Hotmail. But when I tried to email her they would get bounced back as "delivery failures" with no further explanation. And I could find no reason or fix offered online or at the o2.pl site. I know the address she gave me was good because one email finally got through. But the problem continued and we were unable to keep in contact. I have since heard that others have experienced similar problems when trying to email o2.pl addresses from the USA. I never thought in this day that email would be a problem. Had I known I would have insisted upon exchanging other contact info. Technology glitches come with real world costs. Hard lesson learned: Get postal and telephone info. :(

Life / You know you're Polish when... ? [111]

I used to think in Polish, then convert it to English until I left school. But once I started thinking in English and converting to Polish

Being only fluent in English I often wondered this. I asked a Polish girl and she had to pause and consider it. She then said that she thinks in Polish but speaks in English.

I understand the Polish language is one of the more difficult to master.

Life / How do Poles feel about non whites/non Slavs living in Poland? [150]

So Eastern Europe is suffering under all that “rich diversity” too, as we are here in the US.
Why is it that such people want to come to our lands but you never see great numbers of us going to their lands?
And when did it become “racist” to express a little national or ethnic identity pride when these others do so freely all the time? That’s a double standard.

Wake up, folks. Or you risk your culture being overrun. You’re being overrun by political correctness run amok and it will spell the end of your national and ethnic identity while the others maintain theirs. In some areas this is a calculated effort.

See how the PC enforcers come out of the woodwork trying to stifle opposing views by making all sorts of shrill and angry accusations. Pay them no mind. This is nothing but a dishonest, coercive attempt to silence speech so that only their views get aired. Such Liberalism is a whole lot more offensive than anything I or others have posted here in a forum designed for free exchange of ideas. Such bullied political correctness will spell the end of society as it provides aid and comfort to enemies by enabling them.

History / The movie Defiance is a big lie (heroes that saved Poland suppored communism) [102]

Many Polonians are disgruntled over the film. Some see it as a deliberate attempt to distort history and glamourise Jewish anti-Polonism. Haven't seen the film so I'm only relaying some of the remarks that have come my way. Sad to say, there were acts of anti-Semitism and instances of Polish collaboration with the Nazis, because war is hell and survival is the sole aim of most everyone. But there was also widespread anti-Polish Jewish collabroation with the Soivets which led to the jailing, killing and exiling of hundreds of thosduands of Poels. Also direct acts of perfidy such as self-styled Jewish red militias shooting Polish soldiers in the back. That aspect of the war has been conveniently hushed up or glossed over.

Great post.

No one should believe anything they see come out of Hollywood. The lying Liberals there who rule that intellectually dishonest and morally corrupt place insert their one-sided political messaging into everything they produce anymore.

They long ago abandoned any semblance of honor or balance or fairness or pure entertainment for “entertainment” sake. Instead their every offering is designed as a vehicle to serve an underhanded agenda of manipulating perceptions.

In this same way they have hijacked our News Media to the point where we can no longer trust or believe the simplest “news” story. Liberals abuse and corrupt to being worthless everything they get their hands on. Their warped ideology void of morals deliverd via movies and TV and “news” has caused untold harm to society.

In America now Hollywood folks are roundly dismissed as snobby, rich radical Liberal kooks, out-of-touch elitists who are incapable of running their own lives properly and yet they ever attempt to dictate to the world how they feel others should think and how things should be. Why would anyone listen to such people?

Stop giving these sneaky lowlife liars your hard-earned money. Spend it on some other form of unpolluted entertainment.

News / More and more jobs moving to Poland from other parts of Europe... [50]

Although Polish government is a disgrace, their reaction to the crisis is quite decent. In comparison with most of western Europe they became champions of liberalism.

Just be careful the Libs don’t go too far with their “fixes”, as is presently the case in the U.S.

It is my understanding that the employment situation in Poland has improved somewhat in recent years after being a problem for so long. If they can stave off a backslide during this rough economic period they should make out ok.

Love / Just found out polish GF is married [6]

Don't pressure the poor girl. That's asking a lot of someone. Gays often view others who are not out as problematic, as an obsticle to overcome. While there may be good reason for her to feel as she does. And right now it is who she is. It is her choice, not some inconvienient problem for you to try and get her to correct to suit you.

Plenty of lightning bugs in the U.S. They are quite cool to observe if you never have.

Life / I loved Poland when I visited and I want to live there. [20]

It's definitely way easier for you to move to Poland than a Pole to move to the US.
At least I think so.

Why do you say?

I am in the same boat. My wife is from Poland and although my kids were born and raised in the U.S., the speak fluent Polish.

Where did you meet your wife? In the U.S. or in PL?

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Mass immigration is a problem.

Yes it is. Particularly when the immigrants are from a, umm… different culture, and all that “rich diversity” takes its toll on the existing. But then the influx of the ones the US is enduring aren’t likely to buy a lot of land. This is worse.

I can understand Ola’s frustration. People get frustrated and angry when they feel their government isn't doing enough on behalf of the country. But do not fear capitalism. The opposite is worse.

USA, Canada / Why would someone leave Poland for the US? [120]

Until recently it was the power of the mighty dollar, mostly, that drew Poles to America. Opportunity and pay were better in the U.S. and your money goes farther here.

I understand most goods cost 1/3 more in Poland than the U.S.

Btw, it is emigrating when you leave a place and immigrating when you arrive.

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Personally, I don’t feel any foreigners should be permitted to buy land in other countries. “You want a piece of this, foreign national? Well, renounce your home country and become a permanent citizen and come on in. Make the check out to…”

Think about it, without some restraints in place filthy rich Arabs from a place like Dubai could theoretically come in and literally buy up an entire country.

I guess I'm more with Ola than I previously disclosed.

Life / I loved Poland when I visited and I want to live there. [20]

Well, part of the problem is our stupid affirmative action-esque immigration policy which dictates how many of each nationality are permitted to enter each year to accommodate someone’s notion of an ideal “balance” in the name of engineered “diversity”. Such social engineering in policy is utter BS as this leads to equal numbers of, umm… good immigrants along with the not so good ones –producers and consumers.

Don’t get me wrong, I feel strongly that there needs to be some regulation and some numbers should be limited. But this policy treats everyone as equal value, except when some politico decides to manipulate it in order to grant additional favor to certain nationalities. Everything that smells of socially engineered affirmative action ends up being misused and abused and leads to things like discrimination –which such policies are supposed to prevent in the first place.

Wow! You really hate hollywood don't you.

Yes I do!
I am all for difference of opinions and spirited debate but that is not what we get from filthy Libs anymore. No longer is it a mere difference of opinion, Right and Left, but rather it has become a battle between the Right vs. the sneaky underhanded Liars. And such abuse and dishonesty designed to manipulate public perception for political ends I cannot tolerate.

Disagree with me. Call me a ****** if you must, but don’t f-ing lie to me or I’ll cut you!

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

(sigh) I wouldn't go that far. But seriously, how would you feel if some foreigners with no ties to Poland and Her people and no regard for Polish culture came in with sacks of money and, say, bought up entire Polish villages, completely displacing the residents along with their cultural history?

And it's not too much of a stretch to think it could happen. Heck, Dubai could probably buy Poland three times over.

will be in the future a base for tourist business , catering for 4 x 4 and biker groups touring Poland....

Cool.

But only if the Poles want to sell it to them....!

When all their neighbors sell, they will sell.

It could be yet another type of invasion for you guys.

History / Irena Sendler, the "Female Schindler," Portrayed in CBS Movie [17]

No, your life revolves around race baiting and casual racism.

Dude, you seem to pull that Race Card an awful lot.
When it is recklessly misused willy-nilly to serve other means, I find this offensive.

Again, intolerance from the supposed PC "tolerance" enforcers...

Life / Is it expensive to give birth in Poland? [26]

if you slip a few hundred here and there you can rest assured of decent medical care. The ones that dont pay recieve the bare minimum in treatment

Is this the sort of thing America has to look forward to with Obama's socialized healthcare scheme.

See how some foreign land buyers hold their Polish hosts in distain.

They should instead try showing some respect for the Polish people and their culture or find some place else to buy.

Life / Car Window Tinting - is it legal in Poland? [20]

Tinted windows to any degree give the coppers reason to stop you and check it. And it seems a good number of the tinted folks are found to be carrying guns and drugs and such, around here anyway. And be sure you haven’t had too many pints.

BTW, what is the legal BAC level in Poland before one gets a DUI?

one bottle of Polish beer will get you locked up if you are caught driving after drinking it

Wow. One beer? That seems a little extreme.
Could you ask your copper girl just what the BAC is?

No, I think it's nice that they relocate things rather than just delete them. Not many boards do you this courtesy. Seanus and myself picked right back up once I realized where they had gone.

Oops. Ok, back on topic!... How about them dirty foreigners coming in and buying up all of Poland?!

That was my hypothetical.
Right. That’s what I don’t get… If you guys are going to be Socialist, go full-blown and include some protectionist nationalism to prevent these things from occurring. It seems to me this hybrid mix soup of pseudo-capitalism and socialism leaves the native Poles with the short end of the stick.

For all the intrusive controlling managing, macro and micro, that the powers insist on engaging in, they really end up letting their own people down sometimes.

This all can be reflected in the US too, as we’re slipping to the socialist side more and more while clinging to our Cap ways. It’s the mix that is the problem: Pure, unadulterated Capitalism is fine as is pure Socialism (if there is such a thing. Lol…). It’s when they get hybrid that problems occur and gaps can be exploited.

It was Libs polluting our capitalism with their misguided social-engineering socialism that started the mortgage meltdown which then took the banks with it and from there the rest of the world. And then the voters sent the Libs to fix the mess they created! It’s like sending the arsonists to dump more gas on the fire they started!

Love / I would love to meet a Polish woman..they are so attractive! [33]

if I hear a eastern european accent; I turn my head. I am normally confronted with a beautiful woman...

Don't I know it!

Polish women tend to be a bit more good looking but with uninteresting personalities.

Bite your tongue!

None of my personalities are uninteresting. Seanus you are sounding anus.

LMAO!
