History / Poland war propaganda poster - can anyone explain this picture? [292]

Poster #1:
A Commie propaganda poster blaming UK for Poland's initial defeat in WWII. A lot of Poles still think that way accusing UK of not helping Poland during the first stage of WWII.

Poster #2:
more of the same.

Since everybody in Poland is going to drink themselves under the table on Christmas Eve, there is going to be nobody left sober enough on Christmas Day to drive buses and trains. Use a bicycle instead.

Polonus, wtf are you talking about man? Why are you asking about the customs in Poland? You ARE from Poland, man! Why are you acting like you don't know those customs when you just recently came FROM Poland. C'mon dude, don't be silly.

USA, Canada / Polish/American food (they feed people in the US with toxins) [80]

krysia
I don't think they even know in Poland what mac'n'cheese is, do they?

USA, Canada / Polish/American food (they feed people in the US with toxins) [80]


Polish food is a terrible heart-clogging junk when you think of it from the "health point of view". However, it's truly delicious. It's all pork, all breaded, all fried. The polish "salad" is... a coleslaw! They don't even know what a salad is. Poland is too cold for salads, people! Vegetables: 100% canned. Meat: 100% pork. Most of your plate is some kind of a potato, or similar starch (pierogies). But it is good, and that's why I love it! :)

On the other hand, the American food is... yeah, what is that thing called the "American food"? Yesterday we had a grilled chicken Cesar salad for dinner (super-healthy), tonight we had pasta primavera (healthy-lecious), tomorrow we may have some Mexican junk-food for change. There is plenty to choose from here, so you eat what you like. It depends how often you choose to eat junk, we have many, many choices.

News / Poland Rejects US Missile Shield (talks will continue...) [80]

It looks like the President scraped that whole plan, thank God. No more missile shield:

News / Poland Rejects US Missile Shield (talks will continue...) [80]

I am very glad we did this. I could never understand why do we want to be an unpaid policeman for the rest of the world, bleed our budget to death to do it and in return have the people in the countries we protect hate us.

If it was up to me, I would pull out from every single country, including Germany, Korea, Saudi Arabia and so on.

News / Poland Rejects US Missile Shield (talks will continue...) [80]

Sokrates, if you didn't want the missile shield then why are you so angry?

News / Poland Rejects US Missile Shield (talks will continue...) [80]

The fact is that every time something is brewing in the world, is it genocide in Yugoslavia, pirates of the cost of Somalia, or Russia bulling Europeans around, everyone cries for the US for help. This needs to end. Simple as that.

Next time the Russians are threatening their neighbors, ask France or Germany to build a missile defence system for you, or spend $50 billion from your own packet.

That's because Polish bureaucrats are the biggest idiots in the world.

News / Poland Rejects US Missile Shield (talks will continue...) [80]

Dude, you have a ginormous chip on your shoulder or something. First you say that it was an insult to Poland for the US to offer a free missile shield. Now you say that it's also an insult for the US not to build you a shield. You see where I'm going with this? I just have a hard time understanding your logic...

Honestly, if you hate America so much, why do you still hold on to your the US Passport? Shouldn't you return it and give up US citizenship?

News / Poland Rejects US Missile Shield (talks will continue...) [80]

Dude, you're not getting the US missile defence shield, so be happy. What are you still complaining about?

News / Poland Rejects US Missile Shield (talks will continue...) [80]

It looks to me like you have some major issues, that's all. You are hard to please, that's for sure :D

News / Poland Rejects US Missile Shield (talks will continue...) [80]


US: "We'll give you a missile defence system"
Socrates.pl: "You insult me!"
US: "OK, forget about it"
Socrates.pl: "You insult me!"

See what my point is? I simply have a hard time following your logic. Anyways, I'm glad there is no more missile shield, because I don't want to pay for it, and you're glad... Wait a minute, you're still not glad... Whatever.

History / Ancient Polish History thread [180]

Merged: Pagan beliefs in ancient Poland

I've been reading a little bit lately about ancient believes in pre-Christian Europe, it's really fascinating stuff and to be honest some of those beliefs often make more sense then the dogma of Christianity. I'm talking here Celtic believes, Viking believes etc.

Unfortunately I can't find much info about the ancient Pagan believes in pre-Christian Poland. I mean, usually there is some mention of pre- Christian beliefs in the Slavic mythology and such, but not much and not in too many details.

What kind of a Pagan religion and mythology did ancient Poles use to believe in? And are there any books specifically on this subject?

News / Polish converts: When did you have your revelation? [29]


I think there should be an age minimum for these forums. Anyone under 14, like this kid, should not be allowed to troll forums like PF.

Life / What is the nature of Polish people's hygiene? [76]

IMO personal hygiene has a lot to do with the standard of living. It's easy for me to take two showers a day if I have three bathrooms in my house. I also have a laundry room with a washer, a dryer etc, so it's easy for me two change my clothes at least once-twice a day.

From what I understand an average Polish family has one bathroom, in which they usually keep a mini-size washer, dryers are very rare.

So no wonder they don't take as many showers as we do and don't change their clothes as often. Isn't it pretty much the case with all the Europeans that they sort of slack in the hygiene department compared to the North Americans? Although I heard that Brits are way better in this then the French who are notorious for a bad personal hygiene (see Pepe Le Pew) :)

USA, Canada / Best Polish Restaurant in MI [17]

Three Brothers in Plymouth MI, (commonly known as "Tree Brovers"). Not much of an "atmosphere" (don't expect candle lights or waiters in tuxedos). But DO expect some fantastic food, family friendly service with very affordable prices.

One bad thing about Three Brothers: sometimes you have to wait a little bit to get a seat, there maybe a line, the parking lot maybe full. But it's well worth the wait, that's for sure.
