News / What needs to happen in the world so that Poland and Russia form alliance? [297]

Russia is a fine Christian country, but Poland will not ally with Russians who are at fault with the following consequences:

-Russians don't fancy the Polish culture, and make no effort in learning their language, where as Polaki had learned to speak Russian.

-It's bad enough that other countries give Poland hard time because they are placed next to this Russia, with so much PRIDE to dominate other countries, including Poland.

-It would too challenging for the Polish to ally with Russians who don't shower daily but WEEKLY.

- Poland fears that their Polish old fathers will raise from the dead and hunt them with emphasis on religion: "They are Christians not Catholics!"

News / What needs to happen in the world so that Poland and Russia form alliance? [297]


They were too ignorant in accepting Poland's differences ever since WWII: Russia was not interested in saving Poland for its language, religion and culture, but to fight Germans and force Poland to speak Russian and become Christian Orthodox.

Genealogy / Is Grudnik name Polish? [11]

in Polish Grudnik could assimilate to the month of December, of "fencing", "garden", “fencing up a garden”

A lot of people assume that Polish last names end with ski, where in fact a lot of Polish last names end with “ik” as well as “ki” for men, and usually for woman the ending changes to an “a”. For example Mr. Grudnik, or Ms. Grudnikowa.

Love / Need help in relationship with a Polish man [33]


It appears that he’s not a bad boyfriend, but since you feel drained and still love him, than you are just unsatisfied and not ready for the real deal. I think it’s common for girls to get no satisfaction especially if their boyfriend lacks confidence. Also you sound like a young princess whose not ready to make a transition. You need to discuss with him about things that will make both of you satisfied. If you want him to be more confident in speaking English, but feel to drained to help, then arrange for him to take ESL lessons. He may gain confidence if he does well in his class. You might consider in taking some English lessons yourself; struggling to make translations for your boyfriend if you can’t communicate or write in English well can make you feel drained too.



Sounds like you two need to go on a second honey moon, or just do lots of spicy stuff together, like taking dance lessons. Find ways to get to know each other all over again...

If you had any connection, and you gave her your number then she would had called you.
But you mentioned that she didn't called you since you last seen her, so she probaby doen't feel connected with you.

There's no other custom but this one that's practiced by Polish Roman Catholics as well.



All Polish Catholics had to learn catechism as children, thererefore they do know what it means to be Roman Catholic, and the significance of the sacrament. They also reflect upon catechism where they can properly determine if they are WORTHY to receive the sacrament. Have you ever done that?


It is rather disrespectful to receivethe sacrament without reflecting on your conscience within the catechism: It's rather false pride.
:o)


Yes. Although it's bit different. It's very rare to see Roman Catholics to drink wine, "drinking the blood of Christ" ritual is usually performed at a wedding ceremony. :)

I know. You use to think it was pretty hot when your mama took you. Then when you were old enough to walk, it wasn't cool when your Babci took you by the hand either. True. But nowadays....there's fans and cool air conditions, so it's cool.

I stay cool within. But everybody has their own temperature.

Life / WHAT DO YOUNG POLES SEE IN RAP CRAP? [63]

Rap originated from various negative perspectives and hate towards preferred social norms and as bectski wrote


So the beginning rappers who populated this genre were losers: MISCHIEVOUS LOSERS


Low self esteem comes with the teenage disorder/cycle. Teenagers are old enough to understand the social demands from their society. But just because they understand it, doesn't mean that they are mature or ready to handle certain social responsibilities. While there are those that succeed in accomplishing the social demands of their peers and parents, there are others who are mischievous. For instance, it's the social norm in Poland for an 18 year old man to have a car and a girl to go with it, because he's seen his peers do it. But since he can't get license, or a date with any girl, then he will listen to the rap carp farting about things he can do to use and abuse a girl. After all the negative rap crap is for mischievous losers and youth listen to it when they can relate their lives with it.


Rap absolutely brainwashes youth or else why in the hell would a young girl listen to a fart rapper like Eminem: she buys his CD because she was brainwashed along with her friends who could not comprehend the meaning of his rapping about "[there are bones in my closet and they are my moms. 100 things that I would do to abuse my wife Kim are..., and my daughter won't understand how I abused her mom when she grows up b/c she will always be a dumb little girl]"

Well if I was 10 years younger and still in HS, I wouldn't ask Eminem for an autograph if I saw him walking down the street, like a typical HS girl, I would probably insult him and his music in his face.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not totally hating rap and think that all of them are mischievous losers. After all there are some rappers who are positive and rap about positive stuff. For instance LLCool J: I listened to him when I was in HS and still do. :0)

Life / Polish Name Day celebration [40]

Polish Imieniny - Nameday Celebration

Are you a Pole or European who celebrates Imieniny?
Imieniny or Namedays originated from the Catholic/Christian tradition in celebrating the day of particular saint's feast. Most countries in Europe celebrate name days. Because Poland is dominated by Catholicism, many adult poles celebrate Imieniny and in some Polish subcultures the idea of celebrating someone's birthday is very rare.

There are several reasons why Poles prefer to celebrate their Imieniny instead of birthday: One is to avoid bringing attention to ones age, especially if a Pole is over 35; to carry on the favored social custom within their Polish subculture. And b/c of it's religious depth that is incorporated into cultural manner: Polish adults believe that celebrating the day of a saints name that they carry, for it's admired acts by their culture or religion, is an act of ones maturity; where as celebrating your owns birthday is rather immature self pride. Therefore children and teens in Poland celebrate their birthdays, not imieniny: this manner had always been encouraged; children are very special. On the other hand, there are many Poles who are influenced by the western culture. Most Poles who live abroad would normally celebrate their birthday. ..bla bla bla bla, ble ble, bla bla :0)

So have you ever went to someone's Imieniny, or how do you celebrate yours?

Rule 1: For every shot you take you need to sing 100 lat, shortcuts are exceptional "I jeszcze jeden i jeszcze ras..."

Life / Polish Name Day celebration [40]


You don's know???

I know that not all names on Polish calendar are recorded after a martyr. Some names that you see on a Polish calendar are biblical, Slavic and historical, even diminutives of such - these names were noted in the Polish calendar to honor the persons good deed, an admirable act, a miracle blessing, etc.

For Example:
Grażyna, its a Polish diminutive of a biblical name in different language, which stands for 'God's miracles and blessings done to humans in the past and his promise to do so in the future to those who are worthy'.

:0)

My fascination within the history behind first names is quite Polish.
What's the story behind your name?

The good news is that there are people of the opposite sex who think like you, Arien, and fall for geeky hairballs. For instance take a look at Madonna... isn't she classy? and he's so cheesy... It seems as if the less in common they have, the more attracted they are to each other.

News / THE HOMINTERN IN POLAND? [80]


Yea, just now, when it should had been done 1000 years ago!


Any dumbo whose mind is dominated by hate has a mind that is no different than that of an ape, because little thinking is involved in acts of hate. I guess nowadays it takes a genius, (not just human's mind) to figure out how to make peace in the world, how respect differences is religion and social customs, because even a monkey knows how to kill, or throw a crucifix into urine.


Even though I'm a Catholic, there are some Catholic rules which are I'm against, simply b/c those were man's ideas and not God's. Shutting down the Catholic adoption agency in Britain was the right thing to do for them. Some gay individuals whom I know personally are very caring, sweet, intelligent and MORAL (regardless of their sexual orientation).

But the main thing is that marriage and family is God's way to take care of us: Perhaps God's reason to create gays is so they can adopt and be parents to children who don't have biological parents. I don't think God is against gay marriage.


I would tell the 5 year old that celebrating Gay Pride is culturally unattractive, and its bad because it embarrasses all of the other Gay individuals who are good Christians.


And what are you trying to say? I'll say that if anybody on here were to compare your threads to Polonious3, they would agree with me that his writing skills in your native language are 100 times better than yours. His comprehension and communication in Polish is also excellent. Although Polonious3 has his flaws, his manner of communicating is far more intelligent than yours.

Love / Help with a Polish girl -How do I know if she is "interested"? [41]


LOL, hahaha! Sokrates, what did she say after you did that? Did you make a nice girl cry?


Even if she is, don't jump her to end it at that interest. It's stupid and useless.


True, if such relationships began professionally, most likely it will end the same: If the two had a cooperative teacher/student relationship then it would be professional to network and stay connected for professional reasons, after the English course is over. Also relationships change, it's normal and acceptable in the Polish culture for the ex teacher & student to become friends only, as a result of their cooperative professional relationship. :)


If she’s interested in learning English and you’re interested in learning Polish like you told us, then by the end of your course offer her private English lessons for learning Polish; you could get to know her better. If one of you feels uncomfortable to proceed further because of what other people would think about your relationship, then you could find a job at a different school.


probably
