Life / My personal (American) view on Poland [22]

My son in the states works at McDonald's and makes more then she does

Economics 101: Living in the states is more expensive than living in Poland. If everything would be dead cheap & everyone would make wads the economy crumbles.

Love / Ok new game plan....my polish experience take 2 [42]

What you need to do is stop thinking in terms of "Polish" "Romanian" "American" relationship & just think outside the box for a minute or 2. Just think of it as a relationship.. People from around the globe aren't that different when it comes to romance or love.

Does it feel right for you? Do you have feelings for her but are they unanswered? Don't pinpoint yourself on where's from, think about is this what I want?

Love / Polish attitude towards sex [194]

Are you serious? That sounds more like France, right?
And this is OK? What do parents tell the kids when they start asking questions about what they see?

Welcome to Europe.

I had American friends come over not so long ago, there was an item on tv-news about breast cancer. Serious issue, serious news, around 6pm at evening. The item showed a woman doing a mamograph (or mamogram whatever it's called, basically, naked breasts). They just couldn't understand tv would air that uncensored.. It was a medical item about a serious issue.. but still that 'd be impossible in the States.

You just tell your kids the truth.. that's where you food came from when you were 2 weeks old.. it's called a breast.

If you open a British tabloid & get on page 3 there's always a topless girl on that page lol.. so? It's not like it's full monty porn.

Love / In love with one polish girl (but she loves my money) [32]

Sparrow if you believe these obvious lies I feel sorry for you.Man this is easy lying for women,you do not see it?Do you have an argument to say?Of course not man.But plenty of irony of course you have.

Southern, the arguement only have you this man Indian is, rich is.

If he wanted some to attract some (Polish) girls with his wads of cash he'd be cruising in Wroclaw in his convertible car while wearing his Armani suit & giving the girls some champagne, instead of lamenting his personal life on a forum. Works way better.

Irony, plenty I have. Regards of the kindest kind, I leave you.

News / What do Poles think about the newly elected French president? [30]

BTW, you still didn't understand my point, I was referring to contributory factors not preventative measures, but forget it, it doesn't seem to be that obvious outside of my society I reckon.

Pedophilia by contributed to lots of changes in the church.. and I'm sure you know more of that than me, since I'm not Irish & I don't really know Bishop Casey & all that jazz.. but states were secular allready before all those scandals started.

Perhaps you mean that those scandals made the effort to keep state & church apart stronger? I guess that'd be true yes.. if that's what you mean..

I'm so confused.. :-)))

Love / Polish attitude towards sex [194]

I am weak to the core:)

Yeah, that trick only works on men.. ;(

With so much biting maybe there is a danger for castration.

There is. I have an article about it somewhere.. hmm here

From our reporter in Warsaw. February 26th

The high price of birth contraceptive has lead to an epidemic of unknown proportions amongst young Polish men. Youngsters engaging in pre-marital sex who cannot afford contraceptives have been forced to use more radical methods. One of those is the well-known "Polish scar bite". This primitive form of birth control consists of biting the fallus during intercourse in order to prevent possible pregnancy.

Due to the taboo that still resides on abortion this desperate measure proves very popular amongst the 18 to 25 public.

Dr. Ajmso Fullowszyt of the Warsaw University Hospital concurs:

"There has been a drastic increase in injuries resulting from the "Polish scar bite" in 2005. Going from 45 reported cases in 2004 to 89 in 2005. We get one of them here every week or so. We strongly hope the Polish government will adress the issue."


When asked to comment the Polish ministry of Health denied to give us an answer.

Love / Polish attitude towards sex [194]

Man, I dated lots of Polish girls, I can assure you it's as real as it gets. Lots of Polish girls don't have much money so they prefer spending it on other things such as clothes & going out. No cash for condoms or pill.

It's not unusual for a Polish girl to bite in your private parts while in the middle of intercourse, that way they know for sure they won't get pregnant. Remember.. they can't do abortions in Poland.

Krakow is a great place to go, lots of low-cost flight going to it, there's a lot to do in Krakow & the surroundings & if you ever get bored you can rent a car & drive to Prague.

Yes, all Polish girls are intrested in the process of stopping erections. It's the poor man's birth control. Hope I've been helpful.

News / What do Poles think about the newly elected French president? [30]

You misunderstood my point.

I'm a feeble mind.

Factors which contributed to a secular state in other countires not experienced in Poland include widescale pedophilia which was prevented given the restrictions which are not applied in Poland which are applied in other catholic countries, namely the vatican/roman catholic restriction on clergy having partners.

What? Pedophilia by priests contributed to the forming of secular states? I hope the state you're experiencing now is only temporary.

Anyway, if you take a modern secular state, what makes is secular is something that is written in the constitution. As far as I know no constitution has been re-written to make a country secular in the past decade or so, these things are 100 or more years old.

States were made secular for political reasons not for the prevention of pedophile priests.

In my numerous trips to Poland, I have seen great priests with families, nobody says anything because they're fecking great priests!

This can be understood on so many levels, it's not funny.. lol..

It certainly will, and I think that it's definitely going to be a good one.

First of all, in contrary to Chirac, who openly expressed his views that new members of EU should only be silent and obey, Sarkozy named Poland among 6 most influential countries in Europe. It certainly shows that the relationship is going to be more of a friendly and maybe we are going to be treated as partners? Who knows :)

Secondly, Sarkozy drops with Chiracs pro russian politics, which means that he will support Poland in the struggle to make Europe more independent from the Russian gas, etc...

Chirac & Sarkozy never got along, Chirac took a while to actually endorse Sarkozy, but pretty much had to at the end.

To add another point, Sarkozy is also a big pro-European. Which could help solve or play someone intermediary on the conflicts that Poland had with the EU lately. (I hope that sentence made sense..)

Because there's no such thing as friendship between a woman and a man. :))

News / There is no Muslim in Poland [116]

The pork thing is outdated by now. It used to be like that because back in the days animals like pork were carrying lots of diseases. Porks like a dirty habitat to start with, rolling in mud, etc.. So eating was porn wasn't healthy at all at that time. But nowadays it's perfectly safe of course, but it stayed as a tradition I guess.

History / Soviet war monuments in Poland - what to do about them? [133]

I read in the newspaper today that the Polish president plans on removing all public statues & signs reminding of Soviets & Nazis in the coming year. Said Poles can do whatever they want & they don't want Russia to intervene. On the same day that Putin unleashes against Estonia for removing them & to the USA.

Travel / Going to Poland for vacation and my passport expires.. [4]

I don't think Brits have ID's.. that the whole thing why immigrants jump on trucks on get into Great Britain because they don't use those.. right?

If you're a citizen of a country that's member of the E.U. & you have have a valid ID you can travel wherever you want to in the E.U. on that ID. Well, I can, don't think it's different for British citizens.

If they give you troubles, just go to the embassy & get a temp. thing, no problem really

Some of the reasons that Poland is not secular is because

Poland is a secular country, wether it fits your definition of secular is another thing.

they are essentially allowed to marry and take partners from my experience which prevents a lot of warped abuse

Secular means that church & state are seperated and that there is no state religion. Wether or not priests can have relationships or not isn't something the state decides but the Vatican.

halah food (no pork) just eat in turky restauran i think thay also don't eat porks??

Halal or Kocher have to do with the way food is prepared not what the food is. Don't really think they care if it's halal or not as long as it's not pork

Life / To all of you who are Polish - where did you learn English? [64]

Sparrow, it's still like that, at least on public TV :D

Haha, seriously!? That's something I have to laugh about every time I'm in Poland.. I'm thinking "do those bureaucrats seriously can't hire an extra girl & guy to do this?"

Sometimes half the stuff gets lost in translation because 2 or more people are talkign at the same time & he can't keep up.. and all the female & children voices are just the same..haha :-)

Watching subtitled stuff is really a very very good way of learning a language, I'm glad it's this way over here

News / What do Poles think about the newly elected French president? [30]

It is - but the church still has large influence there - that will change like most other countries once the economy improves. (hey id like to be wrong but its they way its gone and goes)

Certainly does & I'm not going to against that because I know most Poles are strongly catholic, they choose the people to rule their country, not me. But mixing the 2 is never a good thing. Secular states seperate religion, army, the law so they can each independently control each other so nothing goes overboard.

It actually surprises me that Gregorz goes in on that point, since it through the "fanatical" seperation of church & state that it's now forbidden in France to have external signs of belief when executing a public function (crosses, keppels, scarves) Which should give him ammunition for his "Islamic" -rethoric ;-)

It is but we still need devoted people in the church to focus on the spiritual matters. Im glad Sarkozy has made his agenda very clear.

Can't go in on that, I can feel LoneStranger's wrath allready ;-) To each his own

In case of religion the same fanatism about separation of church and the state and so on

Can't argue about what you said on other things, that's your opinion... but come on man.. that's a good thing. Seperation of church & state (laicité) is a huge thing in France they fought hard about, they had a whole revolution about it!

Also, religion is a personal thing, it's a good thing those 2 are seperated. Poland is a secular state as well..

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]

- Are you sure it's the case, buddy? - If the Poles had to send to their families even 1/3 of what they earn in the UK, they would not make it there. Why? - Because they earn little, and the cost of living in the UK is exorbitant: taxes, Home Office rip-off (only for the 'East Europeans'), rent....

That's besides the point. The point is not if they get paid a lot. The point is they get a job. Even if you take into account that they pay rent, foodstuffs, might send money to Poland, it still beats having no job at all.

There are 2 types of Polish immigrants, easily divided: undergraduated & overgraduated.

Undergraduated possibly never finished high school, sometimes not even elementary school & look for menial labour such as cleaning, fruit plucking, factory work, etc.. Tons & tons of work like that in Western Europe, never runs out.

Overgraduated are Poles with a bachelor and master, a Ph.D. sometimes, post-graduate studies, could easily find a job in Poland but moves out because he can earn 3, 4 or even 5x more in a company abroad.

The fairy tale about the naughty Poles coming to the UK in order to drain it from cash has been fabricated and spread by the media psychopaths.

I don't know where you deducted that from what I posted. I don't believe the UK is drained from cash, a country's economy grows when job applications are filled up & don't stay vacant.

Misunderstanding I think Daffy

I think Grzegorz means they right wing UMP (Sarkozy's party) aren't right enough for him & he ironically calls them 'left'

Royal is indeed the socialist candidate & Sarkozy the right-wing one

Love / I cheated on my girlfriend (I'm British, my gf is Polish) [167]

ok so lets see in muslim culture its ok to have more than one woman

No it's not, read above. It's middle-eastern, christian-mormon, african cultural thing. Go to Turkey, Indonesia or Morocco & see how long you last with 3 wives before you end up in jail. I wrote it above :(

but is there any such thing as a culture where women can have more than one husband ?

Yes, it's not called polygyny then but polyandry, you can find it in Asia: Parts of India, Sri Lanka, Tibet, China, Mongolia & in African tribes.

Jalousy? dunno.. I find jealousy a very odd feeling.. When I'm jealous for some reason or the other I'm always ashamed or guilty of having had that feeling towards someone.. it's very hard to get around it, can destroy people's love lives if they cannot control it
