History / Question of Race Hygiene in Third RP [72]

Kostia, don't you think we have enough jerks here in Russia who proclaim they're supperior, peculiar and some like that? I don't think it's something that's especially typical for Poles... you merely see it better against the background of tough Rus-Pol relationships.

Spelling was correct. This time I have to point out the irony for you. Bad job. I quit.

News / Eat fish you idiot! (EU massive media campaign in Poland) [54]

I don't really mind eating fish. :) My theory is that meat reduction in your daily diet makes you kinder. Ha... I know it's a corner stone of Poles' and Ruses' malice.

UPD:
Jonh, one of things I like in the US is that you have really cheap fish in comparison to Moscow prices. While in the US I often keep salmon-diet.

News / Eat fish you idiot! (EU massive media campaign in Poland) [54]


I'm afraid I can't tell you any certain sort of fish. I like what we call "white fish" (huso, sterlet, sturgeon etc.), "red fish" (all kinds of salmon: siberian, atlantic, coho...), river fish like crucian carp, carp, pike, asp, roach etc. Generally it strongly depends on who cooked the fish. If you know how to cook it even some plain fish may be delicious.


Yummy. :) I like it too. I'm just a follower of well-balanced diet. One day for meat other for fish.

News / Eat fish you idiot! (EU massive media campaign in Poland) [54]


Really. :) Young crucian carp fried in breading is one of my favourites. Carp and pike (here may be some misunderstanding... cause "pike" as well as word "salmon" are collective in english whereas in russian we differentiate it having absolutely different words for different kinds of salmon/pike) are things you may easily find in restaurants. As for pike I've tried it for couple times and I can't say I liked it.

There's surely no offence. People are different, cultures are different... in some asian (chinese, thai) restaurants I feel like throwing up and I don't understand either how americans may eat their french fries, burgers, donuts... They should be very hungry. :)

Anyway to further shock you I'll list some plants Russians have eaten (especially in villages in hungry times when one still needs vitamines having nothing but a little bread and water): dandelion (there's also a jam made out of it), bittercress, wormwood, cow-parsnip, nettle (this one I've tried and find it tasty in spring when it's young), oxalis. And I don't think that one living in a big city, driving a car should forget about the initial closeness of the human and the nature. I like spending weekend in my country house gathering mushrooms, wild berries, I like the fact that I know more than 30 sorts of mushrooms that are much better than shop's champignons and I'm able to distinguish eatable from the poisonous one and I'm going to share these knowledge with my kids one day. At the same time it's beyond my comprehension how for example some americans are convinced that watermelon grows sliced in pieces wrapped in plastic bags somewhere near "Fred Meyer" that there're no more eatable mushrooms except for champignons etc. This snobbish ignorance is far more awful than eating pike or carp. I don't mean you Wahldo, I'm pretty sure you're aware of everything I mentioned.

History / Golden Lion goes to 'Little Moscow' [10]


Hm... seems like you're far more friendly toward Russian females rather than males. :) Well... probably russian women are the most pleasant way to get rid of russophobia.

I want to watch Katyn.
Stefania did you download or buy the "Little Moscow"?

History / Golden Lion goes to 'Little Moscow' [10]


Think those Poles here who understand Russian would appreciate your genuine love towards this town and Poland on the whole. You've got a nice forum Stefania.


All my childhood I've thought she was Russian and the voice was her own. At some ages nationality doesn't make any difference for you and these probably the happiest years.

News / Eat fish you idiot! (EU massive media campaign in Poland) [54]


I know that Russian VDV (airborne troops) are taught how to cook and eat grasshoppers. It's said they're food rich in calories and healthy. I don't know... for me it's something chinise...

News / Eat fish you idiot! (EU massive media campaign in Poland) [54]


Ano. :) We call it "schuka". She's a predator... thus not very tasty.

History / Polish - Soviet Brotherhood in Arms. [35]


See above... Jonni said that there were Poles and Russians who fought together with no "Za Stalina!!!!!!!!!!!" feelings but with fraternal feelings.


Correct, Joe.

News / Abkhazia and South Ossetia are independent states now! Poland reaction? [236]


Of course they were. It has been said for many times (by medvezhenok as well). Otherwise reconnaissance party would eat the bread of idleness. Afterall it was quite stupid to cherish the hopes till the last moment Saakashvili was sane.

News / Apology to Russians for Osetia and American missile base [78]


That's funny... in the modern Russian this word lost its initial sense of "honour" and now means "arrogance".


Russia doesn't. You were already attacked by your gv. My congrats.

News / Apology to Russians for Osetia and American missile base [78]


I've explained for many times why I think so. It has nothing to do with Russian soldiers or with Russian propoganda. It's just mine engineering estimation.


If you mean me personally then I dare say I'm more or less aware of when they speak the truth and when they lie. No worries here.

Btw I almost don't read our press in its pro-governmental part. Not that I'm getting irritated with a lie, I simply find it boring.

News / Are we going in this direction - Orwell 1984 [11]

I like Orwell. I've read many of his books. My favourite was his "Burmese days" though.
subj: I agree with your notion Lukasz but I find orwellian world inevitable in the modern world. At present such words as "communism", "(sovereign... he-he...) democracy" or anything else are just words to please electorate... What really matters is the involvement of people into making essential decisions which have direct impact on their lives. This involvement has been minimized and this what indeed makes animals out of people.

Love / I'm a turkish guy who thinks that polish girls are slutty [113]


Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern...
subj: Don't you think they might simply use you? Just imagine she says next morning to her husband:
- Darling, I like this country... you don't even have to pay for sex with these poor stupid morons... they perceive sex with you as a privilege....

- Well done, sweetheart... too bad their women are so ugly that I can't take advantage of the opportunity...
Another point is that I don't see here anything to brag about, quite the contrary if I were you I would better keep silent. Everything what you've said is equally applicable to you since falling into temptation of having sex with a slut you're becoming a slut yourself. See how this turned out? Yet, she might have money, happy family, everything one might have wished there... in Poland... Good to know what do you have? I surely don't justify those women... I just pointed out you were not a whit better. There's nothing to boast of.

Life / polish-indian couple looking for baby names [28]

Name her as in "namesake"... Gogol. :)) Partially it's slavic... so you wife should be pleased.

Genealogy / Do I look Polish? (Part II -- Much more detail than other topic) [109]


Did you take a DNA-test or some all-know told you that?

From my perspective you're of pronounced Baltic type. That could be western Russia, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Scandinavian countries, Belorussia, Poland... Anyway you're who you feel like. Nobody can force you be Irish (Polish, Rus.. etc.) unless you want it.


Czechs look like Czechs. They have a little to do with Poles.. the closest slavic nation to them are Ukranians.


Exactly. Appearence is defined by haplotype.

P.S. What's "white caucasian"? *scratching my head*

Travel / Snow tyres in Poland... legal or reccomended? [25]

I think you may use just winter tyres with no studs. They're surely not prohibited and safe as long as you don't drive on ice. For ice use chains.

Food / Polish National Dish [54]

I see polish cuisine is pretty much the same as russian. Cool. Names of the most of dishes are the same.

News / Dealing with constant insults against Polish [323]

I've never heard in Russia jokes about specifically Poles (only jokes like "one day Rus, French, Polak and Jerry...") and I googled for them. I managed to find some jokes about Poles translated from German. Looks like Germans think you're thieves and mean.

Travel / Snow tyres in Poland... legal or reccomended? [25]

Universal tyre is crap. It's always better to use specific tyres for summer and winter. I bought for my peugeot winter tyres with no studs. Russians unfortunatelly don't know yet how to make good studless winter tyres but they make good studded ones.

UK, Ireland / All That Manners Business [I'm Polish, moved to UK as an au pair.] [87]

Wyspi, rephrasing your avatar "some people are not gay. Get ovet it." I mean everybody is different and going to another country you should always keep in mind that something that's fine in Poland or Russia is not really ok in the GB or the US.

Here in Moscow we don't ask for 1000s times a day "how's it going" either but we shake one's hand instead if we see person first time this day. In the US I had to obey their rules saying "good morning", "how're you" and other questions which are nobody was going to answer (unlike to Russia) but I don't have to shake anybody's hand. It's another country and as I see it, you should treat their cultural values like you want yours (polish) values to be treated. In the US it's ok to took off shoes in some public and put their stinky feet somewhere near you, on the other hand some Russians blow their noses into sink which in its turn is not fine in the US. I believe we should respect other cultures and if we can't it's better for us to stay within our own.

UK, Ireland / All That Manners Business [I'm Polish, moved to UK as an au pair.] [87]


I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything bad. Just Wyspi was talking about the UK, I've never been there so I might share opinion only on the US. I didn't really draw a parallel between UK and US. :)


You know it's always hard to say what is feature of the nation and what is feature of "some". This what I described I've beheld for many times whereas I can hardly conceive of anybody doing the same in Russia (except for homelesses). Too many "some's".

Language / LASKA- CHICK, BABE OR BIRD? [12]

Offtop: In Czech "laska" means "love" to the best of my memory. In Russian either "foreplay" (he-he) or "weasel" (animal).

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]


Quite true. They're sick but it's up to them whether to be cured or not. I'm personally ok with them as long as they don't affect or "infect" naturals (or "straight" as it's said in english).


Good thought as well.

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]


It could be. Just think of your kids beholding such "parties". It would inevitably affect or infect them. It's said that only part of gays are gays by nature.


Discussion is a consequence, don't mix things up. It's a reaction on parade.

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]


If you're a kid or a man with immature conscious then you can. I hope you're not.
What I say is that this shouldn't look like an advert of that kind of life and we should keep the most indefensible social layers (first and foremost kids who don't have an immunity to resist perversion yet) out of this show. People with a formed enough turn of mind are welcome to do what they want. Nevertheless I've never attend gay's parties and not going to. It's merely not interesting to me.


I haven't heard any explanation so far.


I agree with that. Still helpless?

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]


Yes, quite right. It could be contagious if one imposes his will upon others and represents sick as a normal state of affairs. I agree that we should treat them well, help to those who we are able to help to but in parallel we should clearly utter "it's a decease". Nothing wrong with that. Why do you act as if I violate anybody's right?

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]


Shelley I like you too with your sometimes aggressive manner of expressing your views. :)


Send those two guys my "privet" and best wishes if they're really able to help children and upbring them mentally and physically healthy. But what if they can't? Who will check that and who will be responsible if something would go wrong with them [kids]??? How, I wonder?

You say...


Do you honestly think they seriously think of that? Or do you honestly think they are able to check whether these two guys are able to treat kids well and give them correct parenting? How?


I can't figure out what it has to do with ignorance and I'm surely not dissapointed but I don't also know why this causes so disruptive reaction. :) These are only opinions. Yours and mine. I thought I described my points well enough.
