Life / Polish Fairytales [25]

So, what Polish fairy tales are there?

I remember my dad had mentioned a tale about a Polish witch. She possessed great magical powers, primarily because she had red hair. He mentioned that according to Polish folkfore, red-headed witches were supposedly the ones with the strongest, most forceful powers.

I like your new avatar, by the way :) Happy Hallowe'en to you too :))

Thanks I got the idea from some of the old silent film movies. I was going for kind of a mysterious Halloween look.

Food / Horsemeat, anyone? [62]

Do they still have Del Taco in L.A.? I remember that place being pretty nasty

Yes, Del Taco's still here. The only thing I order from them, are plain chicken tacos for my dog.

Love / What do Polish women think of feminism? [99]

Prostitution is evil and degrading to women

Back in college I enrolled in a course in Feminism. It was the concensus of many people, not only feminists, that pornography is the greatest source of material, which potentially degrades women.

Pornography is also considered prostitution; because the actress is selling her body while making the adult films.

However, sex sells. I don't foresee the demise of pornography ever in the future.

Love / What do Polish women think of feminism? [99]

The actresses are forced again by the male pigs?

Nie, the actress is free-willed. She makes her own choice to perform sex acts, not only with males, many times with other females.

Love / What do Polish women think of feminism? [99]

women performers are paid more the men

That's because the men in adults films are supposedly considered just props. The female adult film actress, is usually the main reason people view these type of movies.

Love / What do Polish women think of feminism? [99]

males are just sex objects, tools for pregnancy/birth

So... do you consider guys merely sperm banks for females?

The topic is not: The prn industry

Love / Sending flowers to my Polish boyfriend [73]

I think a bloke would actually prefer a cd or something to be honest if its just a guesture.

A nice plant for him may be a good compromise, if she's determined to give him something botanical.

History / Poland and it's minorities in the past [6]

Poland and it's minorities in the past

Very informative indeed. I had no idea the Jews had settled in Poland, as early as the 11th & 12th century.

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

about dating students? why not? we are both adults??

I've had attractive college professors in the past. Flirted with them a lot also. However, I knew where to draw the line. No professor/student relationships; that's just so unprofessional.

i am in fact not teaching in a university!!

It doesn't matter whether you're teaching at a university, junior college, private school, public school, etc. Teacher and student relationships should remain on a professional level.

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

Real Mexican food is delicious, Taco Bell blows!

I agree with you there. In Cali we've got authentic Mexican food, practically on every city block.

How often do you have Polish Food?

Not quite as often as I'd like to. There's a lack of Polish restaurants in my neck of the woods.

Love / ;-) what to cook a polish girl??? [34]

nice avatar again indeed, B

Gracias!

whats wrong with the other 3?

Indian food is a bit too spicy for my liking. The last two are okay, but the first 3 choices are the the tastiest. Especially the Polish food, in my opinion. Probably because it's a real treat for me, when I have the opportunity to eat Polish food.

USA, Canada / Any Poles in Arizona? Polish food? [10]

I had no idea Az has so many Poles. If the 40,000 number of Polish residents is correct, the total is equivalent to a small city itself.

Any good polish deli's in Arizona?

Just moved to AZ almost three months ago from NJ due to my husband's job relocation. Looking for a good polish deli in East Valley area. I always cook polish food for Easter dinner and I'd like to continue the tradition here in AZ...

At Greenway and 32nd Street, in the shopping center, Europa Deli. It the one I would recommend. Bistas is fantastic and I highly recommend it.

At the other place, sales ladies handle money and food and do not use gloves. :(

Life / What is your favourite comedy (also Polish)? [63]

what is your favourite comedy ( also polish)?

Anyone remember Mr. Ted Knight? (aka Tadeusz Wladyslaw Konopka.)
He starred on the old sitcom "Too Close For Comfort."
He left the earth too early, when he died from cancer.

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

It just goes to show that America is more of a fast-food culture

Wrong, I seldomly ever eat fast-foods.

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

there are more family owned restaurants that are 100x better

Mom & Pop establishments are the best in my opinion. I prefer them anytime over a chain restaurant.
