News / Time for a review of Germanic Polish relations ? [30]


This is true. In his writings, he criticized both prejudices and thought they diminished the German zeitgeist. He wanted to see Germans and Prussians as more tolerant, less chauvanistic and definitely less Christian. He was against Christianity and Judaism on these fronts, calling them slave religions and slave moralities. He had something in common with Jewish Athiests here, although he supported the idea of monarchies with powerful, noble, aristrocratic "ubermensch" running the show. The common people should only exist to witness the actions of the "ubermensch" is the idea behind his ethics and theology.

He believed in the "good European" as opposed to nationalism (nationalism is why he despised the Prussians) and considered himself quite cosmopolitian. I would consider him a liberal.

News / A THOUSAND PEOPLE WITH SWINE FLU....just over the Polish border.. [43]


I did catch something really bad a few years back, about seven years ago...and it was just awful, the worst flu I ever experienced in my life! It was way different in intensity than anything I had before and it involved my stomach. Somewhere around there I had one that involved coughing and mucus. I wonder if these were H1N1 and they have been around a lot longer than people realize? It was strange catching that stomach one because rumor was, a terrible, severe flu was making the rounds and everyone was catching it. It was true, too.

That's the only time I caught a really terrible flu.

You can say that about attractive people in general. If someone is really attractive, you can expect them to have a busy social life, with lots of friends and lovers. It goes with the territory. You can't expect them to stay alone and not be with others when everyone is so nice to them and goes out of their way to make them happy. You might have a problem with this. If you do, maybe you should find yourself someone who's desperate and ugly because they will spend most of their time with you since no one wants to be around them.

It could be that many Americans were exposed to it several years ago when that bad flu was going around. That's why they aren't getting very sick with it now.

She is right. Kids should be the center of every parent's world. If you have kids and divorce your spouse, you shouldn't neglect them just because you are busy looking for someone else. I saw at the store, a woman with a small child and a new boyfriend and the boyfriend was being mean to her child. I think women should dump men who are like this.

Love / Polish girls lying [193]


It depends on the situation. In a situation where you have a woman, her young child (around age three) and a mean guy who is being harsh, yes, the guy is worthless. I wouldn't put up with it. I don't know why anyone would. The new bf has to accept the woman and any children as one and love them all equally and treat them all with respect or he should be out.

I saw something suspicious the other day at the store, so I might be in a cynical mood. Those are the kind of situations that make me wonder...where will they be in five years? If your kids aren't getting along with the new boyfriend, then you should find someone else. Kids can tell when someone isn't good and they won't get along with the ones who aren't. Same goes with guys and their new girlfriends. You gotta find a partner that is willing to work things out without the harshness, hitting, or scaring the kids. In the right situation, nearly anyone can build great partnerships and all stories have the potential for success. You just gotta convince people what they are doing isn't in their best interest, in the long run, and they got to work on promoting an environment that's psychologically and emotionally healthier or seperate. That simple.

Just you wait. There's so many kids playing soccer right now...waaaay more than playing football. By the time the kids playing now get to be in their twenties they are going to be way more interested in soccer than football. Soccer is going to become very popular in America very quickly so get ready. NFL is on the way out...

Life / IS THERE NFL PROGRAMS IN POLAND [60]

More kids play soccer now than in the 80s. It's like, everyone is playing soccer and barely any are playing football. High School soccer games are just as popular as football ones.

That was years ago. Now they play Soccer. Football is losing popularity, more so every year. NFL better do something or it could go out of business.

Oh, well, then, it will become popular in Europe only to be replaced by soccer in the US.

Life / What are people in Poland REALLY saying about 'swine flu'? [41]

I've only caught one really bad flu. If someone would have offered me a flu shot before I got it, and I knew how bad it was going to be, I would have gladly taken the flu shot. I can't say for sure it was H1N1, but, it was really severe and it's strange that I would go so long without catching anything and then, suddenly, one that's more severe than average is going around and everyone is catching it, including me. Maybe that's why the cases in the US haven't been as bad, everyone was exposed to H1N1 a few years back? I was suprised they didn't make a big deal about it when it was making the rounds a few years back. It wasn't just your ordinary flu. Maybe most of the world has been exposed to H1N1 by now.

I did see a guy walking around in one of those dust masks the other day. He was walking thru the in door of a grocery store. He did look really silly with that blue bra cup shaped mask over his nose and mouth.

Real Mexican food is diverse. Each Mexican state has it's own dishes, handed down from native tribes. One recipe involves the aquisition and cooking of a wasp's nest with wasps and larvae inside.

Love / Personal issues with two women, they want to be my friend - a Polish thing? [49]


Actually, since you said there's no hint of anything sexual, it does sound like that's all these two want, a friend to go out and do things with. They sound like nice friends, btw. Sometimes men hate that women only want to be friends. Sometimes that's all we want, a friendship.

Margaea, I'm not sure how Mexican the burrito is, anyway. It could be a "Tex Mex" adaptation. Mexico has so many variations of these foods with little old ladies selling them in open markets. There's so many variations, I cannot recall the specific names. One burrito might have refried beans (frijoles) while others have this slimy cactus leaf inside. In some parts of Mexico it's traditional to eat dishes made from cactus leaves. Mexico has carne mercedos complete with swarms of flies and the heads of many animals.

There's a lot of Mexican restaraunts around here, owned and run by people from Mexico that have moved here. They serve Tex Mex food. I have been to On The Border (a franchise). I like their enchiladas. That's my fave Mexican restaraunt around here. I've never been to Chipoltes. Several Pablo Grills just opened. If I see a Chipolte's, I'll be sure to go. Oh, yeah, there's lots of Taco Bells, too, with Black Jack tacos (tacos with black shells). I've had a couple of them with chicken. They're pretty good.

The authentic stuff is way too exotic for me. I'll stick with Tex Mex. They don't serve the authentic stuff in the restaraunts, even.

Food / Why did Taco Bell leave Poland? [82]

There's a big difference between authentic Mexican food and authentic Polish food. Most Americans would not eat authentic Mexican food, which is why they serve

Tex Mex in the restaraunts. Real Mexican food is too full of meat by products (like beef brains) and ingredients like Wasps and Cactii which is why it doesn't get served in restaraunts.

My city has more Mexicans than your entire state! Mexicans eat those dishes at home but they don't serve them in restaraunts. I've never been in a Carne Mercedo so I don't know what's in there (there's a huge one in my city). I'm sure they have what you mentioned and much more. I don't know because I don't eat authentic Mexican food.

Yes, I'm sure if I went to the Mexican Meat market I could get what you mentioned easily, it's just I don't feel like eating it.

Food / Why did Taco Bell leave Poland? [82]


Not where I live. We all know what real Mexican food is. We don't want any.

Food / Why did Taco Bell leave Poland? [82]

You are welcome to come visit any time and see for yourself if you don't believe me. You aren't going to see the tripe in the restaraunts around here.

And, what's all this talk about "authentic"? Do any of you realize that Tex Mex is authentic? No joke. It's like, Mexico and Texas were once the same country long ago. Tex Mex is authentic Mexican food, it's just a different variety than other authentic Mexican foods from other authentic Mexican states.

Sledz, I suggest you read up on the history of Mexico and the Southwest US. Then you will see just how much the cultures influenced each other. You will see Tex Mex isn't actually American food at all. It has more in common with Mexican food.

It's safe to say, since this area once belonged to Mexico, yes, it has more Mexicans and people of Mexican heritage than a city up north.

Love / Is it really possible for a Polish man to be just friends with a woman? [32]

oh, you know what she means. Women have friends who are guys and they are like brothers. She will never date one because women don't date their brothers. Men hate it when women say "I love you like I would love a brother" but oh, well. Women can't go around loving everyone in that special "relationship" way.

People like to act stupid. It doesn't matter where they are from. People are lame.

I'm not sure what pigeon tossing is, anyway. Are these pigeons their pets? Are their wings clipped? It's hard to imagine someone tossing a pigeon and it not flapping it's wings and landing on it's feet.

I don't think I would risk touching a street pigeon. It might bite my hand off. If they are those grey pigeons, on the hefty side, they could inflict some serious damage.
