News / Poland in coming 5 years [48]

Jokes aside, IMO in five years Poland will continue on the way to the economic prosparity, the wages will get closer, or maybe even equal, to the wages in Western Europe. Most migrant workers from the West will return home, bringing much needed capital and a different way of thinking. Hopefuly by then the govormant beurocracy and the relastate market will easup a liitle, so the prises for new homes will be more affordible for an everage citizen, wich will create a constraction boom.

The rest is a tipical western hemisphere country story: to many cars, not enough parking, chilhood obisity, not enough exersise etc... welcome to the Developt World...

Love / BLACK GUYS POLISH WOMEN [809]

Polish chicks like to "score" Black Men, especially the ones who are here only on a short visit from Poland. I think to them it's almost like a passage way, a hunting trofie, it's so they can go back and secretly tell their girlfriends: "I f@#*d a Black Guy". I used to bartend for living while in college, so I've seen it many times.

Nothing wrong with that, IMO.
BTW, it's not only Polish girls, it's all the Europeans.

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

I see everybody from the FSB is here today: Normal Russian, Constantine lol. For those who may not know, FSB is the new name for the KGB.

You guys, we should be proud of ourselves here in the PF, to bring such an international attention from the Russian intelligence agency...
LOLROF

PS. Matthias, I like the charity work you do for the single mothers (judging by your avatar).. I know it's tough, but someone has to do it. Keep up the good work, my friend.

UK, Ireland / Polish Church/Polski Kosciol near London and Dublin? [18]

I think you're talking about the First Council of Nicaea. They've decided which gospels became a part of the Holy Bible, they let the four we have today and rejected some others (the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Judas etc).

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


Agree. Well put, Lukasz.


I know you guys may not like it very much, but what Russia is representing now is... the energy sources. Mainly oil, but also natural gas, which is even more valuable in the future. Natural gas is extremely valuable in the age of the Global Warming, because it has low CO2 emissions. So to not to be intimidated by Russia in the future requires for Poland to become independent from natural gas and oil and start building nuclear energy plants TODAY.

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


Liquefied coal has extremely high levels of CO2. But they are working on CO2 sequestration. Unfortunately for now it does not look like a truly practical idea.

Germany went the way of renewable sources (wind, solar). France took the way of nuclear energy. Today Germany has to export it's energy from France, who has the cheapest energy in Europe.

And then there is ethanol in the USA - made out of garbage, should cost about $1/gal to produce.
In my opinion the nuclear is the way to go, but I may be wrong.

One thing is for sure - if we do nothing, Poland may as well start waving Russian flag and call itself "a new Russian republic" LOL

Life / Poles in Poland: How did you learn your English? [60]


Actually, believe it or not, George W. Bush speaks fluent Spanish. As far as his English skills, I like to joke sometimes that for once in my life I can enjoy a U.S. President who's English is worse then mine.

Now seriously, I heard a couple of times that GWB may have a legitimate case of AADD and the symptoms are there, I guess the history will tell.

I remember there was a similar controversy with Ronald Reagan, rumors were flying about his Alzheimer's disease, and we had found the truth after his presidency was over. That was a sad case actually, because he was such a great speaker and writer, and then he fell in to the illness, he would forget the words... Very sad, regardless of your political view.

You made a right choice, Wanrawin. Trust me, once you have the baby in your arms - there is no higher high in this world. One second with your baby is worth 1000 times the hardship you'll have to go through to get there. Congratulations.

Did you notice the news about Khalid Shaikh Mohammed's trial?
latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-gitmo12feb12,0,2756288.story

He was one of the masterminds behind 9-11. Something tells me that the climax of this trial will fall somewhere about... the elections time. What a coincidence (again), isn't it?

USA, Canada / Several shot at Northern Illinois University, USA [38]


that is exactly the way the law is here now.


I believe these are outlawed. The gunman used a hunting shotgun, Remington 12 gauge. It's a bird hunting shotgun, it shoots pellets not bullets. That's what I have and accidentally it's the most popular firearm in USA and Canada.


Agree. This one apparently had stopped taking some drugs and that flipped him over...


That's true. I may be willing to give up my shotgun, but not an average American (not yet). It does seem to be happening, only s;lowly, step by step. I think it went similarly in Australia. There was Brady bill in the 90's (ban on the assault guns), there was federal waiting period to by a gun... etc

PS. It's a terrible tragedy anyway you look at it and my hart goes out to the victims.

News / So how do poles feel about the illegal immigration from mexico? [25]

Does anybody here know what is the official language of the USA? How about the official language of California?
There is none! The United States does not have an official language. Look it up!
The first step in integrating the South Americans (most of them are hard working and honest people) is to establish English as an official language of the USA.

This would be a good start, anyways - that would force many to learn the language.

PS.
BTW, in your opinion, what will happen first and when?
-USA will become a Latin Country
-Europe will become a Muslim continent?

News / So how do poles feel about the illegal immigration from mexico? [25]

Jestesjedyny you are wrong!
Both things will happen in about 15-20 years.
So if you're an American - start taking some salsa lessons (I already did).
If you live in Europe... well, enjoy your freedom while you can.


I don't think the Mexicans would be very happy about having the Spaniards back LOL

Listen everybody; I've got a new idea: the official language of the USA should be Chippewa and of the Mexico should be Maya. That would be fair.

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]

This is the reason why NOBODY in the USA takes a bus: the gas and cars are so cheap, that EVERYBODY drives a car, and the only people left riding busses are crackheads, crazies and alcoholics. Here is a video of two environmentally friendly girls who for the first time in their life decide to take a bus! They had a quite an adventure and I'm not sure they'll do it again any time soon:

Speaking of extracting oil... did you know that USA has more oil then the Middle East? The only thing is that it is in form of oil shale - oil inside a rock. The thing is that extracting it is costly,i believe you need a price of about $150/barrel or $5/gallon for it to be commercially valuable (unfortunately it's coming soon).

Zbigniew Brzezinski is now a foreign policy mentor to Barack Obama.
Will Obama follow Brzezinski's view of the international affairs as the President? What are Brzezinski's views? We know that on one hand Brzezinski advocates talking to the rouge states such as Iran or Venezuela, on the other hand he does not rule out a military conflict with those regimes.

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]


1.10*3.8=£4.18/gallon=$8.15/gallon.

3.0/3.8=$0.79/litter=£0.41/litter

In the GB gas (petrol) is £1.10 a liter = $8.15/gallon.
In the U.S. the price of gas is $3.0/gallon = £0.41/litter.

No wonder you guys drive those little funny looking golf carts to work over there :)

USA, Canada / 2008 U.S. Presidential Election according to Polish and foreign people [90]

John McCain has no chances of winning in the general election mainly because he is hated by the conservatives. He is viewed by them as a liberal, big government, flip-flopping carrier politician. Also most Evangelists will vote for Obama because of his Church. Some of my family are Evangelist and they hate McCain. Huckabee would've won, because he would've carried Evangelist vote and most of the Black vote. They would've voted for him because he is a Baptist Minister. McCain on the other hand has no chance.

Suprisingly Liberal-John McCain

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

Every Polish immigrant I know that did NOT succeed in the U.S. and had to go back to the Old Country to start all over again had to do it because of our Polish love to vodka.

Usually it goes like this: one gets two or three drunk driving tickets, he gets some jail time, he loses his job, wife takes their house and kids away and leaves him, and he's stuck with $350/week child support, no house and no job.

PS. That's why i tend to stick to an OCCASIONAL beer or a glass of merlot :)

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

RJ, there is a difference between 12 oz of beer and 12 oz of vodka. And that's the thing. People of the East; Poles, Russians etc. tend to drink lots of vodka and they have a serious problem with alcoholism, while the Westerners tend to drink beer or wine instead.

Life / Cigarette Smoking in Poland [146]

I can see a cultural difference when we're talking about smoking tobacco.
In many countries today smoking is passé, old fashion, not cool, it stinks, and it’s not socially acceptable.

Smoking has become sort of like passing gas or digging your nose in public; it's repulsive and gross and some people will let you know about it.

When you smoke you have to go outside, you have to hide, you need to take a mint after because you stink, if you smoke in your car and have a baby with you- you can actually get a ticket, not to mention the stares you’ll get from people for smoking next to a child.

United States and Canada, Australia, NZ, Western Europe is changing and becoming just like California, where it all started. Eastern Europe is a little behind, you can see it here, but don't be fooled, change is on the way.

Like it or not, this is the way of the future.

Joo who is right, 2 drinks a night are good for you.

USA, Canada / Polish, American, Polish-American - what am I to you? [34]
