Love / What make Polish girls better than American girls [106]

krysia

it's worth doing what you can to have him deported if possible, but i'd take it a step further and do what i could to rid the world of that parasite. i'm a firm believer in capital punishment and not necessarily by only the state.

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]

as I recall I don't remember any other country orchestrating a cyber attack, threatening countries with nukes, using oil to control countries, poisoning its former agents on another countries soil.. etc.... shall I continue?

please don't as your incessantly craptastic retorts are by and large unread, i.e. i stopped reading most of your half-witted replies loooong ago. No one is claiming Russia to be an angel and i most certainly can't ethically support the activities you've mentioned but on this issue Harry brought up a valid point which you have avoided and stayed true to the descripton i proffered above your latest garbage.

Enjoy your Trix kiddo.

News / What makes Poland different from other countries [55]

Well, I heard from an American visitor to Poland that is is very fine to be served be real people instead of trained customer service reps with fake smiles and being after your money.

EXACTLY!!!

i agree with shelly that Poland needs more time to understand that in order to compete in today's world you have to make your customers feel like kings!

UGH! I hope Polish people keep their crap service because at least it's genuine, if a person needs pampering from complete strangers all the time then it's time to play "grow a set" and clean the sand out of their ovaries.

Poland as a place on the map (not as a free-willed entity), has a lot to offer but the big thing (and by this i mean monstrously big) is that if tourists are to be attracted here then the natural countryside forests and lakes need cleaning. Even the trees could do with a scrubbing in parts of southern Poland, but most of all the endless slew of litter needs collecting and proper reuse or disposal.

Language / "sorry" instead of "przepraszam" [76]

I think its quite sad how Poland allows its language to be watered down.

i actually agree with the guy on this matter.

Foreigner. You make Poland sound horrible What are your thoughts on Lithuania?

no. you've interpreted what i've said as something horrible. I think it's great the way it is but of course, since tourism came up, I mentioned the one blight that i feel keeps tourists at bay by word of mouth alone.

Lithuania? the thread isn't really meant to be about that, now is it?

History / 1939: the road to tyranny. Is it happening again? [14]

i remember living in germany in 2003.

I rented a room in this wonderful giant house owned by a german architect. He was a hard-working, salt of the earth type guy.

I remember him telling me over and over that he had experienced very similar things in Germany as a boy as to what was happening in U.S. He told me again and again how similar the whole thing was/is. I didn't have the sense at the time to believe him but many of the older Germans in the area spotted that s*** waaaaay before most other people. And they spotted the similarities because they were accutely aware of them. She's saying the same thing that old German guy was saying. I'm inclined to agree with them at this stage in the game.

Life / Polish dentists - good and cheap? [84]

poland has been in the top tier of dentistry for decades.

I agree with plk123, Poland has very good technology and a well respected dental industry.

wow, completely opposite experience here. I had my teeth royally screwed up and still can't drink anything cold (waiting until i go home for rnr to get that sorted out). I know others that have had their teeth messed up here as well- and they are Polish!.

^that sounds bout right. and it's a much more objective description of the place. It's like any small city in Poland- don't expect disney land, you gotta make something out of it.

Life / Warsaw - most boring capital in Europe, after Brussels - comments? [78]

Personally I find Krakow as overrated as Paris. Give me Bratislava, Milan or Wroclaw any time.

here, here, I second that!
Krakow is sooooo been there done that, but it's pretty good for driving so it get's a thumb's up there.

Milan is very under-rated it's got a bad reputation but c'mon not every city can be florence.

Bratislawa-hitch-hiking in Brat-land.. ah the memories.

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]

it is caused by environment as well, usually the behaviour and relation between parents and children.

Well that settles it doesn't it? No need to refer to any difinitive studies or research (which there is none of to my knowledge), you just said it so it must be true-in your mind at least.

the mainstream should prevail culturally, legally and morally.

just like in nazi germany eh? or how about in Rwanda, ethnic cleansing was the norm there too y'know? I realize those are extreme examples but that is the extreme of the logic you've presented. Besides that, i'd say that culturally homosexuality is not the norm nor does this parade seek to turn anyone gay, it's just some gay people saying that they are tired of pretending to be like you or me cause that's how people like you or I want everyone to be.

Beyond that, one really has to ask how the mainstream isn't prevailing in all those areas, i'd say heterosexuality has prevailed in all those areas, and the people who aren't "straight" may be a lil tired of living in a place where everyone considers them strange or wrong, mostly out of small-mindedness, ignorance or in the name of god (which if you think about it, is quite blasphemous to assume one of god's creations [if you believe in god] isn't exactly how god wanted it to be)

I do agree with not tolerating the re-enacting of sexuality on the streets and the uhhh exposing of one's fantasies- and really feel that's an abbuse of people's efforts in trying to be accepting (obnoxious too0. That being said, there is a lot of overt heterosexuality displayed in public that is also best left expressed in private.

UK, Ireland / Gang attack Polish man with knife [87]

The Poles would do better for themselves by sitting tight at home in Poland, and trying to make the country a better place.

Don't you live in Greece?

UK, Ireland / Gang attack Polish man with knife [87]

ask the Native population in North America, and especially Canada, and I'm sure you would be given a different answer.

he's got a point.

So what of it? I'm half Polish

fair play but if someone hadn't ventured outside their country then you wouldn't be here to make everyone's life so joyful.

Anyways guys isthatu, filos c'mon you can't seriously be charging eachother with any share of the responsibility for crimes of the past.

c'mon "admitting" to our forefathers' crimes? That's a lil much if there's nothing we can do to fix the past or repay the victims. this whole debate has gone off the silly charts- neither of you two had anything to do with anything your accusing each other of and certainly don't have sway over "your" nations at present.

no offence to mr. enfield but who is he to take responsibility for the actions of so many and ask for and accept forgiveness. Such notions are ridiculous bordering on arrogance imo.

Travel / Tips for driving in Polish cities [29]

planning your route only works up to a point as some streets are marked and some aren't and sometimes it's just bloody impossible to even see the name until it's too late. Plan on getting lost, accept it and let nothing fluster you.

Life / Polish escort services - legal in Poland? [98]

Escorts? best avoided gentlemen.
No woman aspires to be cumdumpster as a little girl. That's a sign that something went wrong (financially, emotionally, whatever). If you can't meet lovely things with only your smile and craptastic dancing then your problems are deeper than a degrading fix will cure. Testify B!tches!

Law / Investing: Company Shares in Poland [5]

Hello,

My dilemma is this: I know the market I want to invest in. I know the companies I want to invest in. However I want to invest in other European markets. Does anyone know the best way to go about doing this from Poland or, better yet, have experience doing the same?

All the information I have found applies to an investor (or entity) being in the country one wants to invest in. All of the Polish information is really complicated and I haven't found anyone who can give me a straightforward answer (perhaps it's because of my questions though). I am mainly told to go to a makler, but i think there might be a more direct way of dealing with investing than through a third party.

Do any Poles invest in other European Share Markets and if so, what's the best way to go about doing it?

Life / Whippet dogs in Poland? [18]

isn't there something called a "hart polska?" I'm spelling that phonetically so forgive the spelling, but I went to a dog show recently and there were a few of those in the indigenous to Poland category.

Law / Changing car registration from Foreign to Polish [6]

I got mine from Italy.
First was the translation.
Then was the cost of registering and/or plating, it took about a week to be able to drive it (plus of course the insurance which is seperate)

Yeah total cost of registering was about 1200 though that didn't include the insurance.

Law / Changing car registration from Foreign to Polish [6]

the car's registered in krakland.
Oiy, I can't remember what i had to bring, I have a business associate who takes care of this kind of stuff, i.e. he does the talking. But the insurance was after the car was registered (o.c. and a.c.)

I honestly can't remember the seperate papers and all the costs but i obviously needed to have a safety performed and the italian registration documents needed translating then there were a few forms to have done. But there is a lil bureau right across the street from the registration place where the ladies do up all the paperwork for you. Get a very fluent (not someone who is ok but f'n fluent and trustworthy) friend to give you a hand, reimburse them for their time.

It's all a load of b.s. and waaay more complicated than it ought to be but it's only a week and you have a car that hasn't had the sh!t driven out of it in Poland- worth it.

Food / Maple syrup [14]

Can't believe I admitted to liking KD.

admitted? Quoted? Done and done. and yes you have marinaded the correct for maximum flavour effect- Maple syrup works wonders as a marinade (or serenade) for asian pork dishes.
