yeah, wearing the ring on the left is too western. besides, you swear with your right hand, not with your left.

Law / The new Law in acquisation of Polish citizenship in 2009 [15]


i totally agree with this. i mean, my polish is not really good but this is the prerogative of the polish government. you want to be a polish national, you must embrace all of it. common sense - how can you be a polish national if you cant speak polish? so what if you've got a passport? is that all that you've got? i do not have the right to complain if they pass this law - and i will not. stop whingeing like a spoilt kid - get up and get on with your polish lessons!

and seriously, whoever made the "dual nationality" popular is a sicko. this concept absolutely destroys the principle of patriotism. you cannot serve two masters at the same time - never - and that's very basic. what if the countries that you are a national of just decide to start bombing each other and all nationals are required to enlist? what are you going to do? where would your loyalty lie? huh? ask your passports, maybe they can give you an answer. sheesh, JUST CHOOSE ONE FOR PETE'S SAKES!

wow, how can this ever be? the superpower country being bullied by poland? for real?

[quote=krysia]Oh no! How will Americans now get their Polish citizenship if they don't speak Polish fluently? Poland is discriminating against Americans! They treat Americans like second class citizens, like beggers, like they are worse than Polish citizens!

UK, Ireland / Polish people are happy with the UK health care system [27]


yeah, they do love MRSA.

and with all the stories about the soldiers who came home from Iraq/Afghanistan, SHAME ON YOU NHS! SHAME ON YOU! HOW DARE YOU NEGLECT YOUR SOLDIERS!


excellent! i'd like to do that too!


i think that you should not include sick children in this issue. children who are unwell should be checked by a doctor - immediately. you should never ever take risks. or hang on, maybe we should just wait until they're blue.

UK, Ireland / Polish people are happy with the UK health care system [27]


blame your government. if you dont want them in your hospitals, then your government should've made that clear and drew the lines long way back. they should've passed a law in the past specifically saying that eastern europearns are not welcome in the uk hosptals. then these helpless people would already know before they even plan to fly here - that nhs does not want them.

oh but wait: no incentives = no skilled people = no skilled workforce.

Life / Question About Polish Attitudes Towards Non-Polish People: [23]


tourists arent welcome. full stop. some poles seriously have an issue with customer service. they do not care if they dont smile at customers. somes poles are even so proud to admit that tourists should be able to speak polish and that they find it really annoying if they dont.

i dont believe in death sentence. that's way too easy. mental torture isn't.

UK, Ireland / Prices for clothes....comparison of UK/Poland. [3]


for a formal white dress, it only cost me 50 pounds (went shopping at galeria baltycka). if i bought something similar in london, i would have to pay between 70 to 125 pounds.

i am gearing towards polish citizenship and i will surely help preserve your culture. i think it's beautiful no matter if it's a religious culture or not.....

west does not have a culture? oh yeah. definitely. i feel really sorry for them. they're just so proud of their tall buildings, massive houses and their huge cars.......

what about for this year? does it still take 3 months to get it?

Food / Is there McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc in Poland? Food survey. [222]


no. because 7-11 shops are only for people who don't have a life.


it's amazing that these rubbish fastfood companies were able to penetrate poland. it's plain gunk. it's scum.


unbelievable. i hate these companies already.


proper restaurants are perfectly fine. but not fastfood. please.


about 7-11? because it runs 24/7. no closing time.

Life / Are Polish traditions dissapearing [93]

and if you are polish? surely i could see that you are already diluting it.

UK, Ireland / Polish people are happy with the UK health care system [27]


gp surgery? or just a gp? isn't it that a general physician and a general surgeon are two different things? does this mean that you're putting your specialists in the front line? that's saddening.

Food / Is there McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc in Poland? Food survey. [222]


sweetie, this is exactly what a 7-11 shop is - "probably" all over the world. candy bars, crisps, slush, steamed frankfurters / hotdog buns, fried food, preserved food, frozen food and instant food. see anything healthy? lmao


is promoting good, healthy food so wrong? i absolutely doubt it - t.i.m.e m.e.a.n.s.


france? for real? how about italy? it would be really embarassing if they ever succeed in france.

thank you for your pm. that was really sweet. oh, and, btw, you do not have any proof at all that i will dilute it. still remains to be seen. i think people who sincerely say that they will look after it should be given a chance. ergo, you cannot declare me as guilty.

Love / Polish Wedding - Catholic Church Wedding Programme [5]

Catholic Church Wedding In Poland

hi guys.

i am an oriental girl and my Polish husband and i are planning to get married in a catholic church somewhere in Gdansk. we already had our civil ceremony in Gdansk a few months back.

do any of you know what the regulations are for a catholic church wedding in Poland? is it true that we cannot book it immediately? somebody said that we need to wait for a year or something. i dont know what we need to wait for. the information was vague and it really irritated me. what about the marriage seminar? i heard that catholic churches in Poland require this before marriage. i perfectly understand that. but what if we reside in the UK and cannot afford to fly to Poland just for this (because obviously we've got jobs)? how can a Polish church here in the uk help? can they?

i hope somebody out there can shed light on this matter.

many thanks.
