News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]
Again, the young girl is already damaged. An abortion will just damage her more. I've known women who had abortions. Even when they got pregant by some buy they didn't like. They had an abortion and regretted it. I agree..having a kid which was forced on you is a difficult thing to deal with.
It is her decision. Even her parents should not make this decision for her.
It is an old story now. I'm sure it is too late for an abortion anyway.

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]
Rape is such an awful thing because the mother and child are both innocent victims. Once a woman is raped she is never the same. She doesn't want the child but doesnt want to be a murderer either. She doesn't deserve to be put in this position. The child does not deserve to die before it is born. But the decision should be that of the woman. It is her body and she should not be forced by law to carry this child. Especially when the mother is a child herself.
The Virgin mary was a rape victim if you really want to apply the definition here. 14 years of age. Forceably impregnated by God. He didn't ask. He just made her pregnant. She almost got divorced because of this..shamed...cast out. And God did this to her.
If this girl could see into the future. If she could see how she would feel once she had the abortion, she would see that even though she did not deserve this, she will feel better about her life forever and will not regret having the child, but would always regret killing it. Have the child and adopt it out. That's best for the mother for her entire life.

It isn't offensive to Polish women, just to Polish men. Polish men do NOT like Africans. Main reason? The Africans and Arabs that come to Poland usually become drug traffickers, and other assorted criminal types. When I was in Italy, the Africans just sat on the streets somewhere. I asked one of them for directions, and he said, "DON'T SPEAK TO ME. I DON'T LIKE YOU ******* WHITE PEOPLE!"

Work / An American's likelihood of teaching English in Krakow? [2]
I'm not surprised that no one answered your question. I am an American citizen and lived in Krakow for about 3 years. I lived in and around Poland for near 6 years. I taught in many schools in Krakow, Poznan, and Warsaw. Poland back then was an amazing experience for me. Very frustrating, very cold in the winter, ever lonely at times.
I was married to a Polish woman for 9 years, and I never received residency in Poland. I have several degrees in business and never had a certificate to teach. But that was a long time ago. With the changes in Poland, admission to the EU, Schengen Zone, all that, Poland seeks Europeans for teaching jobs first, then when all else fails they take a few Americans. Biggest problem is that students do not really want Americans, because their opportunities are not in the USA. They want British English because that is where they all run to make money.
A school will toss you a few hours, but few will sponosor you for a visa. When I lived in Krakow, I paid 100 bucks a month for a flat in the center of the city. That same flat rents for 600 bucks. Krakow was great back then, but I had a girlfriend. Alone it is very difficult. And when it grows cold, it is miserable.
Your post is an old one. What ever became of you?

Travel / How do i stay in poland longer than 90 days if im already in poland [37]
I stayed in Poland for 6 years crossing the border every 3 months. I was even married to a Polish woman, but enver got residence. I'm divorced now. She got US citizenship, and I got nothing because Poland is an impossible little country to get stuff done in.
I'd like to go back for a visit, but I just don't think I like the whole Schengen thing. 90 days in and 90 days out. I understand that the USA is even more strict, but we kind of have to be. People want to kill us. So we have to be careful.

Now Poles say that. I remember when Poles stood outside the US Embassy in huge crowds during Green Card Lotteries. It was so funny. And some would cry when they didnt win. I just sat there and laughed.
Yes, the American border controls are tough on everyone. I tried to enter from Canada through New York and the ******** kept me for 3 hours, stripped my car down and threatened a body cavity search. Total ********. I agree.
No, what I can do since I work for myself is live wherever I want. The EU and especially Poland are not that attractive to live in. The wages are still very low compared to the US, the taxes very high, the bureaucracy stiffling, the people afraid of each other, the weather terrible most of the time, the streets littered with Turks, the gypsies and African refugees standing around waiting to rob you, and unemployment high, high, did I say even higher than the US will ever be.
Europe is a nice place to visit, to hang out, but not to live for longer than 90 days anyway. There are other places, especially other places other than Poland. I love Croatia. It is a much nicer country than Poland ever thought of being and the people are friendlier. I have friends in Poland, but they have grown arrogant since EU admission. We are in Europe now! We were ALWAYS in Europe! BS. So is Russia. So is the Ukraine. Warsaw sucks. Everyone knows that. Poznan and Krakow are nice. But overall, there is really nothing charming about Poland, but there is a lot to be disappointed with if you stay there long enough. There is nothing to do, no good jobs, and just a bunch of drunken tourists there to drink beer and sleep with Polish girls. ****, you can go to London now! Woohoo!! yeah they pay Poles less there. Heck I can go to London and live for 6 months and travel throughout the EU as often as I want! Americans are not restricted. You just think we are. We own the world...and we are installing nuclear weapons on your sacred Polish soil. Now who owns who? Polish boys...I'm coming soon..to sleep with your sisters. :-))

Then send your 2 million relatives in Chicago airplane tickets and get them out of my country. They are not welcome either.

Schengen is fine for dropping border controls..etc..free movement..etc..that is not my point at all. My point is simply that Schengen is a piece of **** legislation in that it tries to make Europe exclusive to Europeans. It appears to attempt to make even more sure that anyone not from the EU will not have time to perhaps find some way to settle down in Europe..to meet someone and get married for example. How would a foreigner come to Europe, meet someone and decide to get married all within 90 days? IT doesn't happen..cannot happen. It creates a kind of inbreeding. Again, I lived in Poland for 6 years. My ex-wife is Polish and has American Citizenship thanks to me. I never got citizenship in Poland because Polish law is so fu*cking restrictive. Now, don't preach to me about USA law vs European law. Europe is actually clown town...and I wish we had let the Nazis have their way with all of you. We did let the Russians have at Poland. hee ;-)
Shelly is a tool. If not a frumpy American, probably a hag-faced Brit. Correct, not wrong, not wrong, correct again. All very correct.
The world does in fact revolve around the US to suit its needs in many ways because the world needs our military to stave off threats. Now you would say there would be no threat but for the threats that the US creates which affect us all, and that is a very convenient self deception. It is convenient for the world to allow us to have bases everywhere and for us to fight terrorists for you while you invest your Euros in building walls between you and Monico. Let our military in...sure..come fight for us...but keep your civilians out.
We will never have Schengen in North America. The Canadians dont want it and the Mexicans are just too damn plentiful and poor. They would swamp us. Its not like bringing all the small countries of Europe together. It would be like trying to bring three Europes together. Never happen.

Uh, Shelly. That sounds like a frumpy American girl name. So, you live outside of Poland, carry an American passport most likely and so are in a position to say "Love Schengen or Leave It" as you also carry a Polish Passport because Mom an Pop are Polish immigrants to Chicago or NYC. Is that about right?

Well, as Poles you may not understand. Schengen has displaced a lot of American floaters. We were allowed to live in Poland and the Czech Republic for as long as we like and just run across the border from time to time. Then one day, these countries decided that it would be a good idea to join Schengen. What ensued was the displacement of 1000's of Americans who had invested their lives in some kind of quasi-normal state of existence.
We cannot go home, and we cannot stay in Poland. We cannot do anything.
I believe that it is best to live a normal life. I don't like being stopped at border crossings and wonder if I am going to be led away in handcuffs...arrested..deported..never allowed to return. Can you imagine living your life in the US, not having any family back in Poland, but being deported and sent back to Poland...to Warsaw...you get off the plane..and you are broke..you have no family..no home..nothing...and let's say you are 40 years old.
You have the clothes on your back...and that's all. What would you do? Where would you go? Would you want to do anything?
You might find the nearest dworcec'. Sit with the pijaks. Beg for money. Stay drunk..get hassled by the police. You have no home. And let's say it's winter. No one cares. Nobody cares anywhere. You are unknown. You have a history you remember, but the people are all gone..or they have changed.
It is the end of your life. But you live...day to day...and you wonder how you let it happen. You were not a bad person. IF you had been, maybe you would have a life.

No. I cannot. I am an American citizen. And it seems that EU and Schengen changed all that. Truth is, I've been in and out of Poland since 1995. I lived in Poland the first time for almost 3 years without leaving at all. When I crossed the border near Zakopane for the first time in 1998, no one said a word.
I just never married. I have worked, but it was always just "You work and we will pay you" No one ever worried about work visas until the whole Schengen thing and the EU membership in 2004.
I have nothing to return to in the United States. All my friends are here. I have my mom, but I otherwise have no life in the US and do not care to have one there. I never liked the US.
I couldn't stand to be banned from Poland. The rest of the EU can go to hell. Just, I cannot lose Poland. Poland is all I have.

When the smell of pigeon droppings after a rain doesn't bother you anymore.
When you begin to think that pigeons are the only bird in the world.
When you stop noticing the Romanian gypsy beggars.
When you miss the milk bars.
When you sign up for ZUS.
When the sound of tramcars doesnt bother you anymore.
When you stop giving money to pijaks on the street.
When you start drinking ACE wine.
When you begin to think that zlotys should be accepted around the world.
When you prefer to speak Polish instead of English.
When you start dreaming in Polish.
When you start giving gifts to your landlord.
When you begin thinking that Hel is a hotspot to visit during the summer.
When the sound of English spoken on the streets irritates you.
You know you have been in Poland too long when you begin to think that is the only place to live in the world.
When you begin to understand Polish and every 3rd word is Kurwa.
When you start looking into buying monthly bus passes.
When you stop saying "Good day" to strangers because they look at you funny when you speak to them.
When you start carrying a shopping bag with naked girls on it...like everyone else.
When the smell of pigeon droppings after a rain doesn't bother you anymore.
When you begin to think that pigeons are the only bird in the world.
When you stop noticing the Romanian gypsy beggars.
When you miss the milk bars.
When you sign up for ZUS.
When the sound of tramcars doesnt bother you anymore.
When you stop giving money to pijaks on the street.
When you start drinking ACE wine.
When you begin to think that zlotys should be accepted around the world.
When you prefer to speak Polish instead of English.
When you start dreaming in Polish.
When you start giving gifts to your landlord.
When you begin thinking that Hel is a hotspot to visit during the summer.
When the sound of English spoken on the streets irritates you.

Work / Work Visa and minor offense in Poland [5]
I would like to work in Poland, but cannot because I stole some beer 27 years ago when I was 18 years old. It was a minor offense. I only got fined. But Poland will not issue me a work visa because of this minor criminal offense from 27 years ago. Go figure! All I wanted to do was teach English for a year.
