Things to be afraid of in Poland?
Invading armies, I mean really it is getting ridiculous, you go down the shop for a pint of milk, and in comes the Tartars shooting spears and generally having a laugh, then the sweds, with their funny hats, the germans with their funny walk, the Russians nothing funny about them, The mongols shooting their arrows.
I tell you by the time you get back home your knackered

Actually my main problem with Ireland is the rain, I hate rain. I formed a hypothesis that we have a pub culture because it rains all the time. I was shocked when I first came to Poland and the weather forecast was not some dope telling the viewers that there will be bits of rain through out the day.
Excuse me for getting off subject
Not quite as wet as any of the others in this list.

News / Thank you Ireland... EUCCP [81]
Here we go, Ireland has an opinion and now you are making us look like we have single handedly destroyed the E.U.
I think you are just being controversial.
Of course Ireland loves all 17 Billion euros we got from the EU.
And I know no Irish man that dislikes the EU.
So I think you are ill informed

Polish Integration with other Nationalities
I sincerely hope Polish have integrated with my nation Ireland as well as possible and the majority of the feed back I get from home is that Polish are hard working and are well behaved.
In the not so distant future I will not be surprised to see the first real generation of Irish/Polish kids.

Why are you so angry?
Yes of course there are many English people of Irish descent, England was for a lot of Irish people a place were they could work. You do not seem to know what you are talking about and you are making false assumptions.
You must be English
English with Irish surnames and some probably more Irish than yours!

You like getting sniffing gas and snorting coke? Do you snort the coke, for the come down off the gas? At least gas is cheaper.
Or maybe I have completely misunderstood and by gas you meant petrol?
As for Polish violence, Cracowia or Wisla football matches are always a great time if you want a fight.

Bratwurst Boy, A lot of people voted "no" in Ireland, an option the rest of Europe did not even have. I think if Germany's voice was being muffled you'd vote no too?
People care about what is happening and going to happen with their futures.
Of course there are good points to the treaty and I have started to read the bloody thing now and of course you have valid points. A general tightening up of the E.U. and enabling more power.
you are not my type.

Law / Some questions about running a Hostel in Krakow [28]
I have to agree with VaFunkoolo, maybe get a job in a hostel first, see how it works.
Krakow would be expensive and for a hostel you would need quite a few rooms meaning spending a lot of money.
I too have always wanted to open a hostel and I do intend to have a hostel somewhere hot beside the sea for my retiring years, meeting people from all over the world.
If you are looking at Krakow, I would suggest also looking at Zakopane, lots of tourism there too, and not far from Krakow.
Check out the Nieruchomosci (estate agents) they will tell you if there are any places to let and what rent to expect.
Good luck

That was what they did already and there is serious discussion about how it can be called a democracy if people vote but it does not matter. And how they can not just change the language and do another treaty and another ...until people think it is something else, do not turn up to vote and it passes.
Correct me if I am wrong, I do not know so much about American politics, I was never that interested, but was that not what happened in Florida, their votes did not count? and the Patriot bill was past, which was a remake of another bill that was rejected and called a great name, if you do not vote yes in this bill you are "unpatriotic"?
"No" means No.

Law / Some questions about running a Hostel in Krakow [28]
Zakopane is underdeveloped and pricey, I am currently looking for a commercial property in Zakopane and it is difficult.
There is a huge amount of people in Zakopane during the summer, mountain walking and drinking amoung other things, mostly Polish people but this is changing. Krakow has a lot more tourists. Zakopane is full of private rooms in people's houses for rent, they are cheap and I have been to a few and they are fine. But I think the place is crying out for something funky, hip or just a bit different.
The hostel VaFunkoolo shown is in a great location, not too far away and great transport, Detla street in Krakow, there is no mention of price.
?And when u compare Krakow and Zakopane which can be more economic for me to start such business?

Work / Any english teachers in Poland here with tips to share? [55]
I used to teach English, the most embarrassing thing that happened to eemmm...
It was my first time in Poland, 7 years ago, I was working and wanted to learn Polish and pronounce everyone's name the Polish way. It was all fine, a few tongue twisters, but one day I asked for Barbra, and trying to say it the Polish way I said " Is bara bara here?" well everyone fell around laughing, except one girl, who looked at me as if to say, WTF? I just continued the class as professionally as I could... I found out later Bara bara means something like "a quicky" or "nookey"

I am just curious, do native English teachers get such good benefits now as 7 years ago when there were fewer?
The company I worked for bought my plane tickets (3 in total) and this was before cheap flights. I got 4000 zloty a month, it was more then, things were cheaper and they got me a beautiful flat just off rynek glowna in Krakow.

Some people do not like overly fat women, some do
so why can't someone not fancy black women, anyway I think ASG was making light of the subject.
I wouldn't touch either black woman in that photo, nor would I touch the white woman behind them. Is that woman representative of all white women, no - I would be retarded to use her as an example, and I would be just as retarded to use those black women as an example of black female physical appearance.

tomek, you seem to know what you are talking about. I have a question, when I first came to Poland I was surprised by the un-european look of some of the Polish population, from the slanting eyes of what was told to me to be Mongolian, to what I recognise as dark skin and flat noses similar to that of black people.
I am from Ireland, no real trading root, and not much mixing, a few Norse men and a couple of English (two exactly and I know them lol)
