UK, Ireland / All That Manners Business [I'm Polish, moved to UK as an au pair.] [87]

Hey, long time since i was in this forum last now.
And you live in England now Wysp, and i live now in Poland ;)
Everyone has some people one can never get along with, my cure is to be myself and dont care about that person who does not like you. Everyone here knows i am Norwegian and i behave Norwegian. I think it would be good for you if you did not try so much to get your boyfriends mom to like you, be yourself.

The only thing i dont understand is:
Here in Poland i am almost always greeted with "Cześć, jak się masz?" and it seems this is part of Polish curtesy and politeness. How come it is so strange to say "How are you?" ,maybe i understood it wrong, but explain :)

Of course i wish you all the best Wyspi :)

Language / (part 2) Polish Language Pronunciation - Sample Words and Phrases [311]

I think you made a very confusing explanation Michal, and it could be misunderstood.

Now, w Warszawie ,the single "w" always sound like "f" ,it also sounds like "f" in endings like -ów (like in Kraków). All W in "Warszawie" and "Częstochowie" sound like "v".

Love / Does she like me? - help needed please from any Polish girls.. [79]

Signs i look for is eye contact ,she looks you in the eyes ,also if her pupils are dialated even if the light is bright she is interested in you. Also how fast she answers the phone when you call :) If she leans towards you or her body faces towards you.

Try touching her shoulders , hair or hands and see how she reacts.

There are millions of ways to test if she is interested in you. :)
I wish you good luck with your love :)

History / Polish - Vikings relations [26]

USA, Canada / The 2nd Amendment (USA), the right to own guns [261]

I Norway we have a law that says one who owns guns must also have a guncabinet to keep them locked in. And ammunition can not be locked into the same cabinet.

Is there no such law in USA?

USA, Canada / The 2nd Amendment (USA), the right to own guns [261]

And there is a reason for that, cause we did not have to register guns ,the register is only 20 years old. :)

No ,we still love our axes and swords, hehe

Life / Cigarette Smoking in Poland [146]

I would smoke if i could see the point of pulling smoke into my lungs, but since it seem very logical to me that this can not be good for me, i dont.

But it is up to everyone to find out they're own logic about smoking ,i can only speak for me.

USA, Canada / The 2nd Amendment (USA), the right to own guns [261]

Norway has one of the biggest percetange of guns per civialian ,still we have very few deaths by guns. I think it has more to do with the culture than with the guns itself.

I myself have 2 Pistols and a Steyr AUG assault rifle, but i would never dream of pointing them at someone.
